Egyptians used straw. and by boiling
straw in water and mixing clay with il
he found that it gave hard. shapeiy
bricks, that did not crack or deform in

to tannin dissolved in the water Fur

in the T.-R. with saying that "a great
share of the work put upon the coun-
try roads had been wasted, but that the
farmers in this, (Marietta) township
were going at the work more system
atically now"
The statement might imply a ref1ec-
ton upon the past management of the
road work of our township state
ment l neither made o had in mind
II said, however. that the heavy rains
of the past season were responsible fol
the present conditions in Marietta
township; that the soil was carried Off
the hills and deposited in low places,
filling up the bitches in many instances,
causing the water to flow over the
road bed, and stopping the drainage;
that we had repaired a numbe of such
places already this spring, and as 500
as conditions would permit we intended
to put our roads in good repair.
Your reporter failed to make note
of Mr.. Boylan's reference to our town
ship, in which he said: Gentlemen, ]
want to say that 1 found the roads out
there in the best condition of any

hope our roads will be put in the condi-
ton tia will merit further praise.

worried over the apparent disappear
ance of the latter's sister, Miss Jennie
Christianson. who left this city during
the early part of last January, for Cor
ry, Pa, where she intended making
her home. Mis- Christianson formerly
lived in Omaha, and several years ago
resided in this city. She came home
from Omaha to visit her sister and re-
NAMED a few days. leaving at the con-
clusion of her visit for the east. She
promised to write as soon as she reach
ed CORY, but no word of any kin has
been heard from her, since a letter re-
ceived as soon as she reached Chicago.
1t is feared by her relatives here
that possibly Miss Christianson might
have been one of the unknown vic
tins of one of the numerous railroad
accidents that occurred on roads east
of Chicago the first of the year, as many
of the casualties happened just about
the time she would have left Chicago.
Unfortunately. however, Mr.. and Mrs.
Larson were not informed which road
their sister intended taking out of
Chicago.
Every effort is being made TO ascer-
tain the cause of the young woman's
disappearance, and the authorities at
CORY will be communicated with.

MarshalItown Likely to Land iowa
Federation Of Labor Convention for

Marshalltown is more than in the
running for the Iowa Federation of La
Dor convention for 1904, the meeting
place for which will be decided upon at
the convention in Davenport early III
May. President L. r. austin, of the
Trades and Labor Assembly, when seen
this morning regarding the matter, said
he felt lcertain that his city had con-
siderabty better than a fighting chance
to secure the convention for 1904. While
the preparatory work before the con-
vention meets has just begun encour-
Iagemen. from other cities has been re-
ceived, which indicates they will throw
their strength to this city. Prominent
among these is Sioux City. The follow
ing taken from the Journal of that city
of Monday has this to say regarding the
situation:
1.-TWO active candidates now In the
field for the honor are Marshalltown
and Council Bluffs. Both cities seem to
be about equally matched. and 1T would
be difficult to forecast which city will
win. Marshalltown has h advantage
in location, but Council Bluffs urges
superior. facilities for entertaining the
convention. Council Bluffs is well Or
aanized, altho Marshalltown is reported
to be in the lead by about ten unions.
Over twenty-nine unions have been or
ganized there within a comparatively
recent time.
at is doubtful whether OF not Sioux
City will support Council Bluffs. A re-
cent article in the Council Bluffs Non

union people of Council Bluffs, is evil

president of the State Federation of La

President Holder is a former Sioux

sion or misrepresentation. 1t is charged

YOUNGSTERS AGAIN ACT UP.

Children Who Enjoy a Free Ride in the
Size Rig Take Another Before Day

What to do with children who insist
on appropriating peoples rigs that
are left standing on the street, is be-
coming a serious question with the
police. The youngsters are so very
small, that it makes the solution hard
er.

act.

The little Hillman boy. who was
known to have been an occupant of the
Size rig in the morning, and who was
being sought by the police, was the
driver of the Hughes horse. The boy
is probably 8 years of age. Waiting for
him, in front of the Iowa Central office
building, was his 5-year-old half
brother, named Warnock. City Marshal
Nicholson was looking for the Warnock
lad too. because of the morning es-
capade, and the tot gave the officer
quite a chase east thru the railroad
yards before he was captured. When
he was returned to Third avenue here
came the Hillman boy, big as life, driv-
ing the Hughes rig. The officer took
both boys home and cautioned their
mother about Keeping them either In
school or at home. The lads were badly
frightened, and promised with tearfu.
eyes, that they would never sin again.

Frank johnson. In a Quarrel
With John Penzkofer, In
flicts an Ugly Wound
BOTH HAD BEEN DRINKING
Could Not Agree Over Some Trivial
Matter and johnson Pulls a Knife,
Cutting His Friend Across the Left
Breast-Johnson Claims That Penz-
kofer Drew a Gun.

A cutting scrape which, fortunately,
will not have serious results, occurred
in the southeast part of the city, at
the Charles Wescott home, corner OF
Frank Johnson, a laborer living on
South Tenth avenue, slashed across the
left breast John Penzkofer, a driver in
the employ of John Englert. Both
men had been drinking.
No one seems to know just what the
trouble was about, but it is claimed that
it was some trivial affair, and due
wholly to the fact that the participants
had been imbibing too freely. Johnson
claims thai PenZkofer drew a gun,
which he had every reason to believe
he was going to use. He used his
knife in self defense. The wound was
ugly in appearance, and caused Penz-
kofer to bleed freely. 1t was not deep,
however, and that alone saved more
serious consequences, as 1t was di-
rectly under the heart and would have
severed important arteries had the
blade penetrated deeper.
Penzkofer entered a complaint
against his assailant, and Officer
Lage arrested Johnson. When the
hearing was called in Mayor Jones
court Penzkofer failed to put in an APP
%pearance, and Johnson was fined $40
and costs on a charge Of simple assault.
1t is claimed that the trouble may
nor vet be at an end. and hat johnson
will cause Penzkofer's arrest on a
charge Of carrying concealed weapons.
AS far as the police were informed,
however, Penzkofer had no gun when
he was attacked by Johnson.

Judge Burnham Sorry the Stat
utes Do Not Permit a
Longer Sentence
TEN YEARS EXTREME LIMIT
the Prisoner for Pleading
Guilty and His Attorney for Advising
Him to That Effect, Thus Saving
Publicity of the Horrible Details
Judges Short, But scathins Remarks.

William Andrews, the man who was
arrested last January or Il charge of
sodomy, committee upon the person OF
~5-year-old Freddie Buchanan, was this
Burnham to ten years imprisonment at
hard labor in the penitentiary at TT.
| Madison. The sentence imposed is the
maximum, and Judge Burnllam is sorry
for it, thinking hat the legislature did
not comprehend that any human being
could be guilty of such Il crime, or the
penalty would have been made more
severe.
Andrews pleaded guilty to the charge
Friday afternoon, in the hopes OF OBJ
tanning leniency, but his hopes were
blighted. The only satisfaction he
got out of the sentence. If satisfaction
it might be, was the commentator OF
the judge for his action in pleading
guilty, thus saving the public the dis
gushing and horrifying details of the
crime. In imposing sentence Judge
Burnham cut his remarks short n
made them scathing and to the point.
He said:
You have pleaded guilty to the most
detestihle crime that human kind could
commit; hi the brutes of the field
would not commit; a crime that is m
puted to the inhabitants of the ancient
city of Sodom, from which it obtains
its name. Because of that crime In
Sodom Got wiped out that city with
fire from heaven.
The only c~ommendable thing you
have done was to plead guilty and save
the community the publicity Of he
horrible details Of the crime.
Il presume the legislature never
thought tina any man could commit
such a crime on a 5-year-old boy. when
it fixed the maximum penalty at ten
years. If it had 1 think the penalty
would have been greater. AS it is feel
that I must do what is in my power
to protect other boys from any crime
that you might commit"
With his the judge asked the sher-
if to take the prisoner away, appar-
entity showing that even the few words
he had uttered We're wasted. Andrews
apparently showed no feeling what
ever.
Judge Burnham also took occasion,
during the course of his remarks, to
commend the counsel of the defendant
in bringing about the plea of guilty,
thus saving the expense and the shame
of trying such an action.
Sheriff Shoemaker will leave for Ft.
Madison with the prisoner Wednesday
morning.
