He was traced to this city by u bit of
yellow paint left on a post to which he
tied his team near the Russie farm.
This paint was from the neck yoke. and
as not many neck yokes are painted
yellow, the hunt for the buggy began.

city, and inquiry brought out that 1t
had been rented to man on Wednes-
day evening, and had been returned to
the barn on Thursday morning. The
buggy was tracked almost to this city

was but blind, as developments point
to the fact that 1t was driven thru and

to one C. Murphy, by Kidder, who then
evidently returned to town and drove
to the livery barn with the team. Mr..

shops. One set had been sold. Kid
der claims to have bought the harness

Why Men Remain Single.
New York Times.l

The reasons why some men remain
unmarried are two-either the women
they have wanted to marry wouldn't
have them or they have never hap
rened to run across the woman who
kindled in their hearts the inexplicable
spark that drives men to take chances
vastly greater than any the law inn
poses. Whoever proclaims that his
single state is a result of his own de-
liberate and final choice, made because
women and laws are not different
from what they are, is a mere humbug
whose fitting fate would be to fall help
lessly into infatuation with woman
capable of suing him for breach of
promise. And no punishment for lying
could be devised which would be Sc
yerer than that.

HEAVY RAINS DELAY TRAINS.
Downpour in Illinois Causes Central

Their east, close to Kickapoo Hill, a
short distance west of Peoria, streams
