Star Lecture Course.

Gen. Wilson says of Benjamin Chapin's
portrayal of Abraham Lircoln:
II had the privilege OF being acquainted
with President Lincoln for period OF
six years, and I take pleasure in saying
that Mr.. Benjamin Chapin's representa-
tion OF the spirit, traits of character, and
personality of the martyr-President is
without exception the most charming
entertainment OF its kind that / have
ever witnessed. Every American citizen
should see it,"
Grand Army men all over the country
have seen and heard this remarkable
representation with profound interest.
Those of them who have seen Lincoln
agree that the portrayal is most true to
it's subject.

FOUGHT HOLD UP MEN.
Council Bluffs Thugs Tackle the Wrong

Council Bluffs, May 29.-Two bold
hold up men got the worst of 1t In an
encounter with Frank Farrell near the
old Red Light saloon, about 1880 We'd
nesday night. The his,hwaymen scored
in the first round by giving Farrell a
knockiown blow before he was aware
of their presence.
Farrell. who is considerably of an
athlete and man of big build, quickly
recovered his feet, however, and before
the thugs could swing their sand bas
again, Farrell had felled both of them
to the sidewalk. The whipped high
waymen managed to get up and away,
though, before Farrell could continue
his punishment or call the police. They
did not wait to demand any of Far
rell's valuables
The affair was reported to the police
by Farrell, who, owing to the dark
street, could not give a very accurate
description of the twt, crooks. Farrell
has only recently arrived in the city
for a visit at the home Of his brother
in-law, at HOS Eighth avenue.

CATTLE ARE DYING.

Herds in johnson County.


Herds in johnson County.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, May 29.--County Super
visor Oil is authority for the statement
that in the neighborhood of 300 cattle
have died during the past week in john
son county. This would represent a loss
of something like $4,000.
He further states that the cause OF
death Is attributed to clover bloat. They
have every symptom Of clover bloat and
the remedies used for clover bloat prove
operative generally, If the cases are
taken in time Mr.. Obi says that num-
Der of his cattle have been attacked
with the trouble but that he succeeded
in saving ali of them so far.
The situation is becoming serious.
Some farmers have lost as high as ten
or a dozen. They are becoming alarmed.
Many Of them are keeping their cattle
off of white clover pasture as much as
they can, tho it is so prolific that it has
spread to nearly all of the pastures.
There Is belief that IL the cattle are
kept off OF the clover until the grass is
dry-until after the dew has evaporated
in the morning or until the rain has
dried Gift is safe.

THE FAMOUS SULLIVAN ROBBERY
creston People State That If Case is
Brought To Trial Again, Baird Will
introduce Evidence That Will Prove
a Surprise TO Nearly Everyone
Ex-united States Marshal Richards
Arrested.

Creston, May ga movement has
been instituted in this city looking to
the release from the Fort Madison
penitentiary of Frank Baird, the Cres-
ton man who, after being shot nearly
to death, was found guilty of partici-
patton in the Sullivan robbery at Ham
ilton, and was sentenced to serve term
in the penitentiary. The case attracted
wide attention at the time of the rob-
berry and again when it was tried at
Knoxville, and the sympathy of many
is still with Baird, who refused to give
information that would lead to the cap
ture of his pals" If he had any.
1t is stated by Creston people who
should know, that if the case is again
brought to trial Baird will introduce
some evidence that will prove a sur
prise to nearly everyone. 1t is alleg-
ed that he refused to testify SO as to
implicate any others in the crime be-
cause ex-United States Marshal ''Bill''
Richards was at liberty at the time of
his (Baird's) trial. Richards has been
arrested on the charge of taking part
In the robbery of the Sullivan family,
and this may have unsealed Baird 5
lips. 1t is thought.
Judge Gamble. before whom the case
was tried, has reduced Baird's appeal
bond from $1,000 to $500 and several
prominent citizens of CreSton have sig
nified their willingness to sign the pa
pers In order to set the man free un-
til his case shall have been taken to
the supreme court and finally decid-
ed or sent back for new trial In the
lower court.
The people OF Iowa still remember
the Sullivan robbery at Hamilton and
remember that Baird, who was shot
by P. Sullivan while escaping from the
house of the latter after having assist
ed in securing several hundred dollars,
was strangely silent during his trial
and would not divulge the identity of
those who .were with him at the time
the robbery was committed.

Mrs. Rasmussen had left her husbands
house because she had heard 1T report
ed that Mr. Rasmussen had been seen
at night time with a young belle of the
