The action Of the car, it must be ad-

CHEROKEE MEMORIAL
Effort Is Being Made to Preserve the
....-.., CAPITOL.

Mrs. 3. B: Lawson, representative Of
the National Historical Society, has
been circulating a petition. in Nowata,
praying the Cherokee council to make
an appropriation for the preservation
of the Cherokee national capitol and
grounds at Tahlequah. The council
house of the Cherokees at Tah1equah is
the most historic of any of the nations.
They have always taken a leading part
in the matter Of making treaties with
the United States. On the walls of the
council chamber and the chiefs office
there hang large portraits of every chief
the nation has had ever since the Chero-
KEGS moved to the Territory.
Of course the preservation of the
capitol building and grounds is purely
"a matter Of sentiment, but there are a
great many cherokees who have left the
impress Of their work on this country
and now in the twilight of their ma
ton s existence they feel that a monu-
ment to nation that is passing might
well be preserved in this way. I.

AIDS TO THE HoUsEKEEPER

If the kitchen floor is painted or Gov
cred with oilcloth, it will save much
cleaning. Oilcloth and linoleum should
be washed in the ordinary way with
again with clean, warm water, and
dried with a soft cloth. If water is
left on oiicloth, it is inclined to rot it,
therefore, it is important that it should
be dried thoroly. Turpentine and lin
seed-oil mixed form a good preparation
for restoring the brightness to the oil
cloth which has become dull.
All furniture should be busted, and
entirely free from grit before being
polished. One can get good polish
from a reliablepfurniture dealer which
is better than the homemade polish.

The way Of laundering lace curtains

tablespoon Of powdered borax. Let
them stand half an hour, lifting them
them lightly, add an ounce Of gum e arabie

Conviction of Charles Thomas Raises
Question Of Payment Of Reward.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 6. - Neither at
the governors office, where is held
the reward of $500, nor with the citi-
Zens' committee which holds the sub
scription reward of $4,000 for convict
ing the murderer of Mabel Scofield,
has any one as yet filed claim.
It is understood, however, that there
may be several claimants for the re-
ward. Among these are j. A. Hook
ersnlith and William Miskimons, who
claim to have worked up the evidence.
At the time of the returning Of the in
dictment, Patrick Burns, then fore
man, stated neither of the men had
anything to do with securing the in
dictment. This left open the possible
conclusion that there might be others
who would ask for the money.
County Attorney Jesse A. Miller,
when asked concerning the matter,
said he had not heard of any one maxi
ing a claim yet. He stated positively
that he would in no manner suggest
any person as being entitled to it, nor
would he settle any dispute as to who
produced evidence sufficient to entitle
them to a claim. He states he will
positively have nothing to do with the
reward matter.

insurance and the grain was fully in
sured. Owing to the heat and lack
of water the firemen were forced to
stand idly by and permit the structure
to burn to the ground.
On the tracks within the elevator
were five cars Of oats. which Were
also destroyed. The Union Pacific

had a narrow escape from being des-
troyed. All the engines were re-

The heat from the burning struc-

The elevator is located q great dis

and for want of hydrants the firemen
were powerless to throw water on

GRINNELL WINS /
Defeats the State University Basket
Ball Team by a Score of "a to Is

Grinnell, March 1.-THE college bells
rang out joyous peal last night when
the basket ball game was finished be-
tween Iowa College and the State Uni
versity, and the score was announced
as "a to 25 in favor of Iowa College.
This gives Iowa College the state
championship. The game was excep-
tionally clean turnout and was played
for all it was worth on both sides. An
especially pleasing feature of the game
from the Grinnell standpoint comes
from the fact that only two of the
players in this game were OF the regu-
lar team, three of the team having in
one way or another BEEN disabled or
unable to be in the game and their
places being supplied by members of
the second team. In the first hall. the
score was Is for the university and IA
for Iowa College. In the second half
the college made home run at the
rate of 20 to 10 against the university.

"Auntie, that is awful good chicken.

Slowly and solemnly the tray was
lifted from her head and deposited up
on the platform. Then looking up she
said:

Waterloo, March 1.-TWO forged
checks for $3.50 each on the CONNER
cial National bank. purporting to be
signed by the Waterloo Gasoline En-
CINE Co., per George Miller, secretary,
turned up at the bank this morning.
They were both to the order Of George
r. Bell. They were written on the
checks furnished by this bank, and the
session of bunch of them and is pro-
ceeding to get a little easy money.
One Of the checks was rendered Sat-
urday to George Frush, coal dealer.
The party ordered SO worth of Goa!
sent to certain number, to be deliv-
cred this morning. There is a Bell
living at the street number given, but
he had ordered no coal and it was sent
back to the yards. This aroused Mr..
Frush's curiosity and when he commu-
nicated with the bank he found that
the paper was a forgery. Mr.. Frush
paid the fellow the difference between
what the instrument called for and the
price Of the coal in cash. Another
check for the same amount was passed
on west side shoe merchant where a
1925 pair of shoes was bought and the
purchaser received the difference in
cash. There may be other forgeries,
but they have not yet turned up. The
police are doing what they can to ap-
prehend the easy money getter.

does not carry an account al this bank.
