DIDN'T GET ALL HE HAD
Thieves Did Not Find the Hole III
Surris' Sock.

Des Moines, Aug. 29.-Robed in
red and blue blanket, Clinton Burris,
a young farm hand residing near JEFF
ferson, in Greene county, chased a
thief last night through Cherry and
Mulberry streets and the alleys be-
tween Sixth and Eighth streets. Bur-
ris had gone into the house at 615
Cherry street to spend the night. Be-
fore going to bed he had placed his
trousers, containing his gold watch
and chain and $50 in money, on the
window ledge. The young man was
about to fall into a sleep, when he
heard a noise at the window. his
trousers quickly disappeared. Burris
ran to the window and saw a man
disappearing down the alley with his
clothes.
The young man cried with all his
might for the thief to stop. He
shouted for police. There was no re-
Spouse, and Burris acted on his first
impulse to give immediate chase to
the thief Forgetting his almost
nude coniition,the husky young farm
hand wrapped his sturdy form in a
blanket and dashed from the window
into the alley. He chased the thief
into Seventh street, back down Null
berry to the alley between Sixth and
Seventh and around through alleys
into Cherry street again. The rob-
Der dropped the trousers and Burris
stopped to pick them up. While the
farmer was searching his pockets to
see how much he had lost the THE
made good his, escape. .....H
Burris donned his clothing and
went at once to the police station,
where he had long talk with Detec-
tive, George McNutt and Sergeant
Andy Bracket. He gave complete
description of the watch he had list
and said that he had been robbed OF
two $40 bills, one So bill and about So
in change.
The police searched the city for
the thief, but were unable to find him.
Young Burris importuned the po-
lice to keep his story quiet, and for
his sake they did so. Unfortunately
for the young man, however, he was
so excited that he went into the
street telling every one he met of the
exciting chase which he had given
the robber, and reporters overheard
his story.
Burris was en- route from Greene
county to st. Paul, where he expects
to find employment.
II am not quite broke yet" he said
to Detective McNutt last, evening, as
he took off shoe and pulled a couple
of well worn $40 bills through hole
in his sock.

AStepping Stone 10 Wealth
Annual Incomes One thousand to
Twenty Thousand Dollars.
Splendid Business Opportunities
for Ambitious Young Men
and Women.

The Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Business
College has published booklet under
the above title. This booklet is unique
in its way, and different from anything
in printed pamphlet ever issued by
business training school. .-...
cit may be considered an endorsement
of strength that large number of sue
cessful young men and women of America,
whose annual earnings range from 81, 900
to $4,000 each, give full credit to the
Cedar Rapids Business College for train
ing them for their positions. 1t is indeed
amazing to find that this school, as noted
as it is for completeness and thorough.
ness, has been able to take young men
and women from small towns and farms
where they could earn less than fifty
dollars a month, train them for from
twelve to fifteen months, and place them
in positions where, after few short years
they are earning from one to twenty
thousand dollars year.
Such is the record of the Cedar Rapids
Business College as disclosed by the
letters from pupils which are pub.
lished in the little booklet above referred
to, and accompanied by photographs of
the writers.
Probably no similar school in America
can show such an array of successful stu
dents in such varied lines of employment,
If viewed from their annual incomes.
For the encouragement of ambitious
young men and women, Mr.. A, N. Palmer,
President of the school, states that during
the more than twenty years he has been
the official head of the Cedar Rapids
Business College. there never before have
been 20 many opportunities for placing
the graduates In good positions
sMr. Palmer will be pleased to send q
copy Of the booklet above referred to,
| to any interested person.

Disposal.
The fact that there is no stream
near the city into which the sewer.
age may be safely empt1ed. makes it
certain that some means of artificial
disposal will sometime be necessary.
The treatment Of the sewerage in
septic tanks followed by alteration
through properly constructed filter
or contact beds, is the method most
successful in the modern practice OF
sewerage disposal With a disposal
plant properly built and managed
sewerage can be purified to such a
degree that the efIiuent may be safe
ly discharged into any water course,
however small, without menace to
the health of man or beast. The
four outlets indicated can be extend
ed as needed to suitable and avail
able land near the city. 1t will be
necessary, however, to relocate and
reconstruct portions of the outlets
now existing so that the sewerage
may be handled at the disposal
plants without pumping.
The sewerage system win be SO
planned that it may be constructed
independently of any disposal
scheme, but in such way that uIti.
mate artificial disposal will be as in
expensive as possible.
The importance Of keeping the
amount of sewerage as small as poss-
ible is evident. The greater amount
of sewerage to be purified, the great
er the expense. The greater the a.
mount OF storm water that can be-
handled in separate storm sewers,
and in the cutters, the less will bel
the size and expense of the purihca-
ton plants. This expense has not
yet been forced upon the tax payers
of Oskaloosa but in the future, it'll
will be and it must be taken into
consideration now. Sewer buildingl
in Oskaloosa up to the present time
has not had this in mind.
The sketch or map accompanying
this report shows the existing sewers
so far as they are known, and the
proposed sewers both storm and san
itary.
The sizes given are approximately
correct but may be changed when fin
al and moro accurate computations
are made. This preliminary report |
does not attempt to go into details,
these will show on the finished plans.
The object Of the report is to set
forth in a general way, what seems
to be the best method Of dealing with
the sewerage problem of your city, |
and upon approval of this report by
your honorable body the detailed
plans will be finished in accordance
with our contract with the city.

Needy Ones Are Pinched Already BY
the Cold.

Already the charitable societies in
Americus, those connected with the
churches and especially that great and
good organization, the Ladies' Benevo-

needy ones here. There are numbers
of poor people here, many Of them will
ling to work and with dependent loved
ones to provide for, and all these
shonld be given sewing, quilting or
other employment when possible, but
at all events.given assistance when it is
needed. Already this cold weather ia
bringing hardship to some OF these
worthy ones, whom the aid societies
will doubtless assist with the limited
means at their command. II people

DENT TO KNOW HIS FATE SOON
Prisoner viii Be Tried at This Term of
Court,

One prisoner in the Americus Jail
will, no doubt, welcome the converting
of Sumter superior court next week, as
10 will decide his fate one way or the
other. This is j. T. Dent, who has oc-
cupied cell there for five months
under the charge of forgery. Since
his capture in California in June and
his enforced return to Americas, the
scene of his alleged crimes, he has been
in jail, though bond was assessed in the
two cases against him. 1t is quite prob
able that his case will be among the
first called on the criminal side and
will arouse a great deal OF interest.
Dent was in the piano business here
for some time the first of the year,
and his arrest grew out of certain
transactions connected Herewith.
While court convenes next week it will
be some time in December ere the
criminal docket is reached.

STILL KEEPING UP A RECORD.
Americus Fire Department Will Make
Fine Showing

Americus Fire Department viii Make
Fine Showing
How will total property loss of
less than $500 for the entire year do for
a record? Aud that will be the repor.
made by Chief Macarthur to the city
council three weeks hence. unless the
unexpected happens in the interim.
Americus has been almost free of fires
this year, and while there have been
numerous alarms and small blazes the
trucks always got there in time to han
die it successfully. Up to to this date
the entire fire loss in Amerlcus since
January 1st. can be easily covered with
$500, possibly with $4OO. and the record
is one to be proud of. Last year the to.
tai fire loss here was only $4,000, and
about the same amount the year be-
fore. And yet Americus property own
ers have probably paid the insurance
companies hundred thousand dollars
in premiums within that time, and is
still assessed an excessive rate.
