Waterloo, Jan. 23.-An elopement OF
a young couple, members of prominent
families in Dubuque, was nipped in the
bud here yesterday by the arrest of the
young man in the case. p. NJ. Clancy,
the ~1S-year-old son of Alderman Clancy
of Dubuque, and Miss Carrie Smith,
daughter of a Dubuque carpenter, came
to Waterloo, escaping from their par
ents. They have relatives here and the
young mans father instantly consulted
the Dubuque authorities. According to
the tale from Dubuque, it was expected
that the couple would endeavor to get
married here. A telegram was sent to
the Waterloo authorities and the pair
were arrested at the Illinois Central
depot.
The couple were all a bunch Of sweet
ness. Pretty Carrie, however, remon-
strated with the officer. The telegram
asked only for the detention of the
youth, but she refused to be separated
from him. Together they were taken

Steiner was not a little amused at the
youthfulness Of the couple. He pulled a
OF handouts out of his pocket and
threatened to put them on Clancy. Car
RE puckered up her lips and set her
teeth as she held out her arm also to
be h~andcuffed. The bravery of the
petite little miss caused no little merri-
ment and in answer to young Clancy's
question what he was going to do with
him, Sheriff Steiner loosely told him
that he would take him back to serve
a term in Jail.
"Then I'll go to-" broke in Carrie,

Sheriff Steiner remained with the
couple at the city hall until the morning

Eldora, Jan. 23.-Judge Evans rem.
dered an important decision yester-
day particularly affecting Sioux and
Hardin counties which will be of I'M
usual interest to real estate and loan
men generally. An action was brought
in this county by the Union Central
Life Insurance Company VS.. Hardin
and Sioux counties to recover taxes
amounting to $3.50 and interest thereon
for five years. 1t appears that the
firm Of Lewis, Hadley & Rash con-
Quoted a general store at New Provi-
dence and neglected to pay the taxes
assessed against the stock for several
years. Treasurer w. w. NOR, OF Hard
in county, learning that the firm owned
lands in Sioux county certified the
delinquent personal taxes to h treas
urer Of Sioux county, who at the tax
sale sold the land both for the delin-
quent personal from Hardin county
and for delinquent taxes against the
land, and the plaintiff company which
held a mortgage on the land bid In the
land for the total amount OF the taxes,
and the treasurer OF Sioux county re-
mitted the amount OF the personal
taxes to the treasurer Of Hardin coun-
|ty.
The plaintiff subsequently brought
an action in this court to o the
amount Of the personal SO paid
by them as above stated. The case
was submitted to Judge Evans the
first OF the present term on written
argument preferred by Conner and
Weaver, Of Des Moines, for plaintiff
and County Attorney F. H. Noble, for
Hardin county. Attorney Noble
claimed that because Lewis, Hadley
and Rash had never removed to Sioux
county, a necessary requisite under the
statute before the treasurer Of one
county can certify taxes to another
county, that the plaintiff had no
grounds for recovery and that the de-
linquent personal taxes were voluntar-
lily paid by the insurance company.
Judge Evans made an order yesterday
afternoon Diminishing the petition OF
plaintiff and taxing the costs to plain
tiff.
The point al issue is an important
one often overlooked by loan men in
bidding in land at tax sale to pro-
tect their mortgaged interest.

He was like o dumb man for a few

Clara L. Wilcox. He became worse. and
on Wednesday she tool him back to
Bellevue. Now he talks necessarily. His
sentences are incoherent and are Moth
ing more than a tumble OF legal phrases.
When Wilcox was taken into custody
January 10. on the charge of disorderly
conduct at the Grand Hotel he acted
peculiarly. In the police court he was
ION the point of denying the charge
when his jaws closed with u snap and
he could not open them. He had APP
parently lost his voice also, and from
indications could not hear. He was sent
to Bellevue hospital. where the doctors
tried to have him explain himself by
the use of pencil and paper, but could
not. He was sent to the insane ward
for observation, the doctors believing
he had become insane, besides being
practically dumb. The doctors are
puzzled. concerning the malady which
affects Wilcox. They were certain he
is insane, but could not understand the
paralysis or extreme tension of the
muscles which held his jaws closed.
Last October in Boston Wilcox suffered
a somewhat similar attack and was
found on a bench in a railroad depot
unable to speak, altho his Jaws were
not closed as now. At that time 1t was
said he was insane. but he was dis
charged after a few days In the hos

Losses Are Severe.

The loss of the receipts of the
games that have not been played dur
ing the last two weeks has threatened
the baseball associations of the
leagues through this section of the
west with financial crisis. Rock
Island is in rather better condition
than some of the other towns of the
Three-Eye league, having been at
home and therefore having saved trav-
cling expenses that the teams that
were on the road are out.
Nevertheless it is necessary to eX-
ercise the utmost economy from this
time on till the outlook is better, and
it seems that any strengthening of
the team that may have been contem-
plated will have to be put off indefi-
nitely. The team has had one extra
player since the signing of Hoag, and

who has been playing left, was allow

The above telegram received by The

that was not unexpected. For some
time Joliet has been tottering in the
balance and last week President Sex
ton went to that city to see if any
thing could be done to induce the
management to retain the franchise.
He succeeded in reassuring the man
agement for the time being, but ii
seems that the continued wet weather
had it's effect and yesterday he re-
ceived another telegram to attend an
other meeting of the directors this
morning. 1t was at this meeting that
it was definitely decided to turn over
the franchise. Lack of patronage on
the part of Joliet is the cause.
Before returning home Mr.. Sexton
will go to Aurora, where the people
are anxious for baseball. and will in
vestigate the conditions with posi-
Bile view of turning the team over to
that city.
There are number of other cities
that it is understood are willing TO

What Conscience IL.

Conscience is a virtue that is hard
to define in exact wording. 1t may be
put roughly as the faculty which dis
tinguishes between right and wrong.
and urges steadfastly for the right.
1t is a moral sense, the teacher and
light of humanity in the matters of
right and wrong as they confront the
individual mind and soul. The famous
quotation of Washington's. Labor to
keep alive that vital spark called con-
science" was mentioned. its authors
life being constant illustration of
the trait. The individual becomes
more and more responsible to the
promptings of his own conscience as
his independence is attained No one
else should be allowed to do ones
thinking in matters of this kind. In
things right or wrong each should
choose for himself, answer the
promptings of his own inner being.
