Button Industry Increases.
Increase in the pearl button industry
in Iowa since 1902 is an interesting fea-
ture in the national manufacturers CEN
sus for 1904. Whereas in the former
year but $325.315 capital was invested in
this business in this state, last year
$1,173,s66 was so engaged. The value of
the output in 1902 was sS665SS, but in
1904 it was $1,5OO,945, almost doubling.
State Labor Commissioner E. D. Brig
ham has analysed the government re-
port and has found that while the out
put doubled the capital, which has
trebled. earned much less interest. In
1902 the profit on the capital invested
was 1855 per cent; but last year it was
only 12.46 per cent. The total net profits
in 1902 were s14S052 and the net profits
OF last year were about $4,000 under this
figure. The report discloses no reason
for this discrepancy except that the cost
Of material enormously increased.

Fortune Awaits Missing Man.


A registered letter containing sum
which is at least $4,000, lies in the Des
Moines post Office, awaiting Fred
Hatcher, who is missing since his dis

daily bread, supporting herself and FAM
Nv, there is snug little fortune await
ing her at the post office, but which is
outside her grasp. While this little for
tame is sorely needed, she is compelled
by the stern necessities of the law not to
touch a single penny of it. Only the re-
turn Of her husband who so mysteriously
disappeared, will enable her to come into
the property which lies awaiting the
signature of the husband. The money
represents a legacy of life insurance
sent to Mr.. Hatcher by an eastern COM
pany IN payment of the policy held by
his mother.

Won NoLkEN MAY LIVE
Conspirators Laid Their Plans With
Greatest Deliberation

By associated Press.
WARSAW, Russian Poland, March
27.-Baron Won Nolken, chief of police
of Warsaw, who was injured by the
explosion of bomb yesterday, owes
his life to the bad aim of his assailant,
who threw the bomb behind instead of
underneath the carriage. The body of
Won Nolken is full of innumerable
splinters Of the bomb. His assailant
has not yet been found.
The man who previously threw a
bomb into the police station at Praga,
a suburb of Warsaw, injuring six po-
licemen, is believed to be dying. He
was injured by a fragment of the
bomb, as well as by bullets fired at
him by the police. He has been iden-
titled as a locksmith named Stephen
Okrjeiaj, Is years old and resident of
Novominsk district.
Baron Won Nolken is believed to be
out of danger, but he is suffering in
tensely.
Further investigation shows the care
with which the plans of the conspira-
tors were laid. A number of persons
of the poorer class proceeding on diff
ferent streets in the direction of the
place just before the bomb was thrown
were warned by persons evidently
posted for that purpose, to go in some
other direction.

Nv Associated Prnna.

By Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, March 27.-Unless the
higher court interferes, Mrs. Cassie l..
Chadwick will spend the greater part
of the next ten years In the Ohio state
penitentiary.
A sentence Of ten years was imposed
upon her by Judge Robert w. Tayler
in the United States district court
today.
Mrs. Chadwick was convicted on
seven counts and sentenced upon six
counts. For four of these counts a
sentence Of two years each was i'm
posed. Upon two counts a sentence Of
one year each was imposed, making a
total Of ten years.
AS soon as the sentence was pro-
nounced Attorney J. p. Dawley. attor-
ney for Mrs. Chadwick. took exceptions
to the sentences upon each count, ex-
cept the first count. The defense in
tends to make the claim that the court
cannot impose separate setnence for
each count; that the law applied to
the general charge instead of each in
cident of general charge. The various
counts of the indictment are consid-
cred by the defense to refer only to
details of the general offense. This
point also will be considered in the
higher court, as will the other points
of the Chadwick trial which resulted
in her conviction.
Either Judge Francis ]. Wing or
Mr.. Dawley will go to Cincinnati to-
morrow to make arrangements for a
review of the case by the United States
court of appeals. The first step taken
by the defense will be to ask for a
stay of sentence until the appeal is
tried out. There was an understand
ing with United States Marshal Chan
dler, United States Attorney Sullivan
and the court today to the effect that
there would be no attempt to execute
the sentence until the defense had
had an opportunity to carry the case
to the higher court and there obtain a
suspension of sentence. Mrs. Chad
wick will be defended to the last court.
No action will be taken by United
States Attorney Sullivan regarding the
other six indictments against Mrs.
Chadwick in the federal court until the
present case is finally disposed of.

One of the most brutal and cold blood
ed murders that has ever been COM
mitted in this city came to light at 6
o'clock this morning when a man, who
has not yet been identified. was found
by a street car conductor lying face
down on the sidewalk on Nineteenth

His skull was fractured with a club
which, covered with blood. was found
lying a short distance from the scene
of the murder. The pockets of the
overalls which the dead man wore
we're turned inside out and his shoes
had been taken off.
While several persons have stated
that they have seen him about the
city for two weeks, no one appears to
know his name. The police have as
yet obtained no clew to the identity
of the murderer or murderers.
The greatest indignation has been
aroused in the city over the affair.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The navy
department was informed by telegraph
today of the arrival at Mare Island
navy yard of Midshipman Michaeloff
and Assistant Engineer Kapazin, two
of the three officers of. the Russian
cruiser Lena who broke their paroles
to Rear Admiral McCalla by surrepti-
tiously leaving San Francisco and re-
turning to their own country. The
third officer, Midshipman Kyradinjan,
has not returned and there is nothing
to indicate he h on the way To this
country from st. Petersburg. In case
he does not return within a reasonable
time 1t Is highly probable that this
government will again lay the case be-
fore the Russian government and ask
it to be Investigated and the missing
officer found and returned to the navy
yard.
The failure of Kyradinjap to put in
an appearance may be due only to some
delay enroute but it was expected all
the officers would come back together
and at once. Though no orders have
been issued from the navy department,
close watch will probably be kept on
the men who broke the paroles.

MAN LONG MISSING TURNS
UP; LEGACY WAITING
Frank l.. Doe, Who Had Been Sup
posed Dead, Is Richer by Ten
Thousand Dollars


BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-That
facts are often stranger than fiction
was again demonstrated today in Judge
Coffey's courtroom when the estate Of
John S. Doe was called up for final
distribution. This estate has been
pending many years in the probate de-
partment and it was only by the merest
chance that there was saved for Frank
l.. Doe a legacy, which, together with
interest, will be in the neighborhood of
$4,000. John S. Doe, wealthy pioneer,
provided in his will that each of his
nephews and nieces should receive a
legacy of $4,000. All of these legacies
have been long paid saving the one in
question, and Frank L. Doe had been
lcng considered dead by his brothers
and sisters, who had not heard from
him for a period of over thirty years.
1t was only within a couple of weeks
that Calvin w. Doe, brother living
in Big Rapids. Mich, received a letter
from his brother Frank, from Durango,
Loring B. Doe, brother residing here,
but not knowing that Franks interest
in the estate of his uncle had not been
lcng since foreclosed by reason of his
non-appearance. kilograms were has-
tily exchange and 1t seems now to be
beyond doubt that Frank l.. Doe Is
living and entitled to his legacy.
