Two Members of the Forepaugh
Wild West Show In Ser

DAVENPORT GIRL A VICTIM
Entioed Into, Side Show Where Her
Street Clothing Was Changed to the
Garb of a Ballet Dancer-Mother
Finds the Child and Has Two Men
Arrested.

/ Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, July 22.-When the Fore
naugh Wild West affair that was, il
| davenport Monday and in Rock 1sano
Tuesday left the Tri-Ci.ies it left two
OF its men behind.
One is w. Butler, ticket seller al
the hoochie- koochie tent. and the other
| is f. He'll. cook and general all-round
man.
According TO the story told by Mrs
Edna Stanger. who lives at Eleventh
and Farnam streets. the two men were
the principals in an attempt to abduc;
Grace Stanger, the 15-year- old daugh-
ter of the lady who had the warrant
Sworn out. The little girl verities the
STORY and when found by her mother
the child was in the dressing room OF
the performers in the side show safely
covered up with lot of blankets, while
her own clothes had been removed and
packed away in trunk, and she was
attired in the garb of one of the ballet
cancers.
The girl was only found after the aid
Of two officers had been called and
Henry Westphal had assisted the moth
er in locating her daughter.
The girl stated that she was around
the show Monday afternoon with a
companion and that she was allowed to
go into the side show. She stated that
while there Butler made advances to
her and that he finally insulted the lit
tie girl. She said that size ran away at
the time. but later she came back with
when she went into the side show she
was taken into the dressing room,
where her clothes were removed and
she was dressed in the others provided
for her. The girl claimed that she
wanted to get away, but that 1t was
evident that persuasion had been
brought to bear until the girl was final
~ induced to not try to get away.
The mother. becoming alarmed at the
absence of her child, learned that she
had been seen around the show grounds
and went there to look for her. She
saw the girl disappear in the tent and
asked to go in, but she stated that they
refused to let her and stated that her
daughter was not there. She then found
Mr. Nestphal and asked him to call
The officer looked all thru
the big tent and could not find the girl
and the mother then managed TO get
into the side show. where she states
she went behind the curtain and found
the girl covered up as stated The Of
iiter came and stated that he found
the clothes packed away in the trunk.
The mother then took the child and
the officers started them for home. The
woman claims that Hell followed them
however. until she finally became
frightened and called an officer again.
The man was then placed under arrest
and Butler was secured shortly after
ward.
The men both declare that they were
innocent. but the evidence was too
strong against them and they got thir-
~ days In jail each.

EASILY DECIDED.
Thi. Question Should Be Answered

Easily by Marshalltown People.
Which is wiser-to have confidence
in the opinions of your fellow citizens
of people you know. or depend on
statements made by utter strangers re-
siding In far-away places? Read the
following:
Mrs. Charles F. Breckel, of 100 West
Main street, says: II am very thankful
that l learned about Doan's Kidney
Pills. Besides my own experience have
that of q sister and a friend. Had the
results obtained peen confined to only
one there might be grave doubts about
the merits claimed. But when the three
Of us were benefited we are compelled to
become endorsers. am convinced that
many ladies suffer from some obscure
kidney trouble which pulls them down
without their realizing the cause OF the
dull heavy feeling. the languor, the de-
preston and the extreme fatigue which
exists after the least exertion. and I
thoroughly believe, should they use
Doan's Kidney Pills. they would be re-
lieved Of their disertess. My sister and
my friend who resides in Des Moines
are even more enthusiastic over the
wonderful curative powers of Doan's
Kidney Pills than l. My advice to every
resident of Marshalltown who suffers
form kidney complaint is to procure
Doan's Kidney Pills at Mcbride &
Wills drug store, take them according

A DEsERTER suRRENDERs.
Mike Mon anara Gives Himself up to
Officers at Davenport.

| Special TO Times Republican.
| Davenport, Iowa. July pa man
who deserted from the regular army in
New York over year ago gave him.
self up to officer Quinn last night stat
ing that his conscience troubled him for
the act that he had done and he wanted
to square himself with the government.
The young man gave his name as Mike
Mcnamara and he said that he was
born In Ireland, but that he came to the
United States about ten years ago and
located in New York city. He spent all
of his spare moments around the bar
racks of the soldiers there and soon be-
came infatuated with army life. Two
years ago he enlisted in the army and
was placed with the eighty third regi-
rnent stationed at Governors Island.
After eight or nine months Of army
life. however, he found that he did not
like IT as we'll and decided to run away.
The young man stated that he was
rather Ill and one day got permission
TO go to the city and never returned.
He staid awhile in New York city but
became afraid he would be detected
and finally went to Philadelphia. He
drifted west IL short time afterward
and spent several months in Chicago
and came to Davenport about four
months ago. Since that time he states
that he has been employed in the lum-
Der yard of Lindsay & Phelps but he
states that all this time he has regret
ted his action and wished many times
that he had not run away.
Yesterday he decided to give him
self up and take the consequences, so
he came down town and surrendered
himself 10 Officer Quinn who was the
first officer he met
Mcnamara was taken to the station
and kept until morning when Marshal
Mat Lamb took him over to the island
and turned him over to the officers
there. Whether Mcnamara. will be re-
turned to Governors Island or not is
not yet known but from the fact that
he gave himself up and wanted to do
the square thing his sentence will prob
ably be light one.

Burlington route were connected Sat
urday evening as the last bent was
completed. Two gangs Of men had

by no means slight one and it was
Saturday evening before the rails were
connected and it became possible for
trains to cross the river.
Now that connection has been made
over the river it will be possible to
hurry material along with which to
build the switch to the Bolton Hoover
mine The building of this spur, which
is about three miles in length, will
occupy perhaps twenty days and when
completed will give the road connec-
ton with coal supply.
The work on the bridge will be
pushed as rapidly as men can be
placed on the job.

and not bear; if plowed while wet if
the dirt is thrown to the plant.
We have plowed very shallow near
the plants when our team could not
sta d up and thus killed some of the
grass and let the soil dry off but we
always throw the dirt from the plant.
Suppose there is a bottom or low
place that is too wet while the bal
ance is in the right condition to
plow? Well, we just go right on
and let the low land alone or just
drag the plow over it. If you think
the bottom land will make more than
the upland, then let it stand till the
bottom is just right.
We have always found it much
easier to farm dry years than wet
ones. We can stir the soil and make
a fair crop, but when the rain comes
every day and the grass grows and
the crop turns yellow from excess of
moisture, we are at a loss to know
what to do. But one extreme is fol
lowed by others. When it is wet in
the spring, look for dry weather in
the summer.
1t is sometimes very hard to drain
land so that it will not suffer in very
wet seasons. But all lands should
be well drained. Level lands we'll
drained are the best for ordinary
crops. HARRY FARMER.

The value of shelter and comfort
for cattle is demonstrated in an ex-
pertinent made by the Arizona sta
ton. A herd of milch COWS were ex-
posed for three days to a cold rain,
at the end of which time the flow
of milk had decreased just one-half,
Notwithstanding that the cattle we're
properly fed. 1t was a month before
the COWS gave as much milk as be-
fore the exposure.

Number IL.

Now, in the great majority of
cases, the farmer doesn't give the
farmer boy a chance. He doesn't
praise and encourage him enough !;
doesn't try to give him as good an
education as he is able to give him,
and as the boy is justly and morally
entitled to be given; doesn't help him
to start as a farmer to as great an
extent as he might do with profit
both to himself and the boy. On
the contrary, he finds too much fault !;
thinks the boy doesn't work enough,
doesn't study when he sends him to
school, and wants to drive all the
horses on the place to death.
To illustrate, there is Sam Browns
farm over there. Sam Brown is
reckoned as a good farmer. Any
how he has a fine farm, fine stock,
and has made and is making a good
deal of money; or rather his boys
and few hired hands have made and
are making it for him. He has half
a dozen or more boys, most of them
are grown. But where are they now?
Oh! the old, old story. Some gone
to Georgia, some to Texas, one or
two to the devil, perhaps. The 9TH
ers are still at home working for
Dad" and waiting for freedom, when
they'll go too. And why this? Simp-
ly because Brown has not been
broadminded and liberel enough
not had horse sense enough-to take
his own boys into his confidence and
partnership, and thus keep them at
home, enlarge operations to suit the
new conditions and, at the. same time,
better his own pocket and that of
his sons.
Now in the city there is merchant
Jones. He makes money too-much
more of it now than farmer Brown;
but the reason is because his sons are
helping him to do it, instead of be-
ing in Texas or Georgia, or in the
devils company Of recruits. He, like
Brown, has several boys. But he has
given each of them a good education,
taught them a business, and, when
they become of age, has taken them
into partnership, and the firm name
is Clones & Sons" And that's why
his boys are not where Browns are.
Among all my acquaintance I
know of but one farmer who has
taken his own boys into partnership
share and share alike. He and
they are prospering now.
l know hundreds~of merchants and
professional men who have taken
their sons into their business or
profession, and | think but few have
ever found cause to regret doing so.
I see no reason why our farmers
should not follow the same plan.
