PROBST ARRESTED
Iowa Central Brakeman Taken in Gus
tody Today at $3.50 for Burglary at
Liscomb-is the Man Who Took o.
J, Evans Diamond.

~ evans 10om0uOs
The station OF the Iowa Central at
Liscomb, was entered at about $3.50
o'clock Friday night, the cash drawer
broken open, but nothing stolen. Six
ty-five cents in change vas in the
drawer, but this was not taken. doubt
less due to the burgla- beng in a
hurry The ticket case was not mo-
Tested, and none OF the books was
touched. Sheriff Hutson went to LIS
comb this morning to investigate the
case and has clues which he believes
will lead to an arrest. The depot was
entered thru one Of the windows, while
r. A. Stokley, the agent, was out plac-
ing the switch lights. While going
down the track he passed a man, wao
had alighted from an incoming freight
and who was making his way toward
the station.
AS result Of his investigation at
Liscomb Sheriff Hutson arrested
Charles Probst, an Iowa Central brake
home 40S West Linn street, on an
Yln1OfmaIlOn SWOTu OUT ny D. n. otohc-
ley, the agent for the Iowa Central at
Lihcomb. The evidence against
Probst is said to be Of strong cir
.cumstantial character, and since Sher-
ifr Hutson returned to Marshalltown
from Liscomb. Agent Stokely telephon-
ed him of later and more corrobora-
tive evidence, secured this afternoon.
Probst will be taken to Lisconlb this
afternoon and be brought UP for pre-
liminary hearing before Justice Meek
ms, this evening.
1t appears that Probst's family is in
Liscomb at present and that he went
there last night to see them. His ac-
tions gave rise to suspicion and led
to his arrest this afternoon. Probst
is the man who recently confessed to
the robbery of a diamond ring and
$40 in cash from D. J. Evans. Upon his
arrest at that time Mr.. Evans refused
to prosecute, for sympathy for the man
and his family.

Look for Bio Feeder Trade.

Chicago. July 16.-It is now GETTING
along toward time for opening OF the
range season and a few shipn ents OF
advance market feelers may be expect
ed at any time after news Of settlement
of this strike has been received In the
range country. Beef cattle prices and
condition Of the rangers will be big
factors In the feeder trade of this fall
Conditions at present are favorable to
large demand for cattle to go into
feed lots this fall. and should range
cattle prove Of little. II any, better for
immediate slaughter than they were
last fall then the big corn feeders
would be apt to take hold OF the rang
ers literally. But all reports point to
better beef condition than last fall,
and 1t looks now like free fall out
let for thrifty young native steers.

New York, July 16.-R G. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade to-
day says:
Trade conditions were gradually be-
coming more normal after the conclu-
sion of political conventions, when a
new disturbing factor appeared in the
strike Of packing house employees and
allied trades. This enhanced the price
OF meats. weakening the purchasing
power of the people still further.
Aside from this unfavorable develop
ment, the news of the week contained
much encouragement. Crop prospects
improved and the general level prices
for farm products promises a large re-
turn to agriculturists. which means
better business for all industries. Con-
showing more disposition to prepare
for the future as the season advances
with no serious setback to the farms.
Reports of increased plans for erec-
ticn of buildings are not accompanied
by any noteworthy expansion in
demand for structural materials as
yet.
Railway earnings for the first week
in July are only g per cent lower than
last year, and foreign trade at this
port showed gains of $530.2s6 In ex-
ports and $1.906,724 in imports, as
compared with the corresponding week
a year ago.
Footwear markets are more active
many western buyers having appeared
in Boston and fair volume of supple
mentary fall orders have been placed.
Tanners who are short Of hides are
of the strike and the situation threat
ems to become serious IL the struggla
is prolonged. This influence is calcu-
lated to advance the hide market.
Failures this week numbered 225 in
the United States against 213 last
year. and 20 in Canada compared with
16 year ago.
New York. July 16.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:

Ohio Man Rare Cotn

Rare coins are seldom found outside
the cabinet of a curio collector, but
F. w. Beebe, of Ohio, who was at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel n night, has one
the value of which is fifteen times its
face stamp on account of the passion
which many persons have for secur-
ing the unusual denomination of mon
ey. 1t is a 81 gold piece, made in the
year 1879, and it is catalogued by all
coin agencies at $50. In remarking on
the coin last night, Mr.. Beebe said:
IF I were inclined to do so I could
live fairly well with no other asset
than this coin. Even after persons
have seer it they are incredulous, but
still 1 have smoked a hundred good
cigars which it got for me. and I still
have the coin. 1t came into my DOS
session from my employer, and he got
it from one of the original Congress
men to whom the issue Of 81 was pre-
scented. Many a time 1 have gone into
a mans business house or into a bank
and asked for change for a So bill in
only two pieces. Frequently 1 have
been given two $3.50 gold pieces, which
are rather plentiful. A few times l
have been given a So gold piece and a
50 bill, but never have 1 found a 81
gold piece and a 81 bill as change for
my So. The majority Of men tell me
that the change cannot be made, and
1 usually made a trivial bet that it can.
When l show the 81 gold piece they
always wilt and are inclined to deny
the proverb of Solomon that there is
nothing new under the sun."-Louis-
Vile Courier Journal.

who is to marry the German Crown
Prince. with a rousseau. The good
folks were pleased to hear of the en-
gagement, but their joy has been some
what diminished by the i'll judged ac-
ton of the Grand Duke in enforcing
the provisions of an ancient statute
dating from the sixteenth century.
This medieval law requires that
whenever a princess Of the grand du-
cal house marries a, special tax shall
be levied on the whole people to pro-
vide her with a suitable rousseau.
The Grand Duke has now ordered
this tax to be collected, and the Neck

purpose. This is the root of a certain
bush, and owing to the fact that these
roots go so deep, in so many direc-
lions, it is considered quite a task to
get sufficient for use at a fish shoot.
On this particular occasion it Is
said that $500 bundles of devils
shoestring' will be used. The Indians
select a portion ur hole Of water in
the river, and some of them will beat
up this root and throw it in the water.
This is repeated by another party OF
Indians a considerable distance from
the first party, and the water be-
comes impregnated with the juice,
and the effect on whatever fish may
be in this particular place is marvel
GUS. They become sick and float
on the surface of the water, and then
the shooting begins. The Indians
shoot them with bows and arrows and
spear them. After a sufficient guam.
tity Of fish have been gathered in,
they repair to the hills and banks.
The cleaning is done by the squaws,
and after they are cooked the feast
begins. While the fish are sickened
and stunned by the juices from the
root, the meat is not affected.-Kan.
