'Give a woman nothing to do
at all and all the money she can
spend and she will go TO the devil
as fast as she cam says Prof
Ambruster of St. Louis. But the
conclusion must not be drawn
that if you load a woman down
with work and give her no mon
ey TO spend her soul will be
saved.

done to Metsker.

clothes offered by ]. R. Townsend
to the person guessing nearest the
correct number of beans contained
in the glass jar which has been on
display in his clothing store win
dow for the past month.
The contest was a popular one
and hundreds upon hundreds of
guesses were made. They ranged
from 500 up as high as 200, 900.
Mr.. Logan's estimate of 1850, was
the only correct one made. There
were several close ones, among
them being Charles Lewis, whose
guess was only four out of the way.

SEVEN YEARS IN PBNITENTIARY.
Joe ThrIoway Plead Guilty to Rape Charge
and Was Given Maximum Sentence.

There was a manifest feeling ol
satisfaction in the court room on
Tuesday, when Judge Staples, gave
Joe Thirloway, the inhuman wretch,
who so brutally and criminally
assaulted pretty ten year-old MarJ
McArdle, of Mt. Carmel, the full
limit Of the law. The crime for
which this brute in human form,
must now pay the penalty; is doubt
less fresh in the minds of Our read
ers. The story in detail was told
III these columns. How on the
twentieth of February, last, Thirlo-
way in company with Abe Kreischer
one perhaps equally guilty, though
less accountable, because of a mental
arrangement, was driving on one
of the streets of Mt. Carmel. They
met three young girls, all of tender
age, Bridget Jordan. Mary Nc
Ardle and her sister Jennie. They
offered the girls ride which was
accepted, and took them to lonely
and unfrequented road near Mid
Valley, where the offense was COM
mitted. Two Of the girls, Bridget
Jordan and Jennie McArdle escaped,
by running, but Mary was caught,
thrown upon the ground, and
brutally ravished. Her screams
and cries for help only seemed to
inspirit the fends in their carnal
desire. In the accomplishment of
their purpose the little girls cloth
ing was torn in shreds from her
body, and it was necessary to cover
her with a blanket to take her
home.
The girls who escaped made their
way to the Mid Valley Hotel, where
they disclosed what had occurred
and several men started in pursuit.
The brutes had left their victim in
a helpless condition, but were cap
tured, given hearing and lodged
in Jail.
There was strong feeling against
them and they barely escaped the
vengeance OF a much stirred and
indignant people.
Thirloway whep called before the
Court, presented the appearance OF
a degenerate in the fullest sense OF
the word. If there has ever been
any manhood or respect in him, it
has, if looks are any indication, been
long since defunct. There was not
the slightest sign of remorse. He
stepped before the court totally in
different to what was coming. He
was sentenced to pay fine of $Ioo,
pay the costs Of prosecution and
undergo Imprisonment in the peni-
tentiary for seven years at solitary
confinement and hard labor.

TIE WHEELMEN MlNSTRELS.

The demand for seats for the
minstrel show given by the men,
bers of the Bloomsbury Wheelmen
Club last Thursday night in the
Opera House, was unprecedented,
and before the curtain rose every
seat was occupied. 1t was fine
audience of the. representative
people. Excellent music was fur
nished by Calhouns orchestra Of
ten pieces When the curtain went
up it disclosed scene of rare beauty
that easily surpassed anything ever
before seen on tine local stage. The
electrical effects were fine, and they
were designed and arranged by
Harry Achenbach. Harry S. Bar
ton was the musical director of the
singing parts and Tom Moore was
the manager. AS middle man
Hon. Grant Herring was immense,
while Aldinger, Keiter, Gross,
Jayne, Hagenbuch aud Hicks carri-
ed of the honors as end men. The
first part was an olio of song and
Jokes, and the latter were all fresh,
quite unusual in a minstrel show of
the professional variety. Ballads
were sung by Maize, Hummer,
Tasker and Abrams, all Of whom
did themselves proud. Freas Hicks
captured the house with his topical
song, Man, Man, Man." and his
dance between the verses; and DR..
Aldinger, Gerald Gross and Gere
Jayne added much to the enjoy
ment of the evening by their coon
songs. Liberal applause was be-
slowed all along the line. A finale
closed the first part, and the curtain
went down amidst loud expressions
of approval from the audience.
The second part opened with all
illustrated song by d. J, Tasker,
H. J. Achenbach operating the
stereoptican. 1t was we'll sung and
the audience wanted more, but
owing to the lateness of the hour no
more was given. Gere Jayne of
Berwick entertained the audience in
an inimitable way with monologue
He was extensively arrayed in a
cast off dress suit of Judge Herring S
and as Mr.. jones' style of struct-
ure is of tht longitudinal kind,
while the Judge is somewhat more
lalitudinous, the man and the suit
did not get entirely together at all
points, though there was plenty Of
the suit to go round, and some to
, spare.
The Bloomsbury Town Council"
was an amusing travesty and con-
tanned many funny hits.
The show was great success and
very creditable to all who in any
way participated. Owing to the
fact that many people were unable
! to get seats, it was decided to re-
peat it, and this was done on Mon
day night, with practically the same
program, equally as we'll carried out.
The hall was we'll filled by an ap-
preciative audience.

WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN

Chauncey Nj. Depew has come to the
conclusion that the extension of rural
free mail delivery sounds the death
knell of the political spell binder.
Most of the people of the United
States had arrived at this conclusion
long ago, but it is good to have the
confession of Mr.. Depew, himself a
spell binder, in support of our pre-
conception.
1t may be, however, that the rural
delivery is not all to blame for the
evident popular neglect of orators.
There has for years been noticeable
falling off in the reverence for great
men, Hero worship was once a re-
ligion among Americans. Time was
when great multitudes gathered from
a half dozen counties not so much to
hear as to see an eminent statesman
or hero of the army or navy. When
Grant passed across the United States
from ocean to ocean people rose in
the nlRHL anu uIONe ~ IIllGS W NotSi
glimpse on a car platform of an
ordinary looking man who had done
great things. Now hero may travel
from Maine to California without los
ing much sleep. Admiral Dewey would
drew few teams and men from the oats
seeding today and 1t is necessary to
advertise Hobson artfully to fill lee
ture room. Congressman and senators
at the depots draw smaller crowds
than a dog fight is likely to attract.
Roosevelt draws crowds. The people
flock to see him, not thru curiosity.
but because they love him. We have
grown familiar with our great men,
and while familiarity does not always
breed contempt it kills curiosity. No
man, it is averred, is a hero to his
valet. Propinquity to greatness is
foe to reverence The newspapers
have brought US so close to our public
men and our heroes that they are no
longer demi-gods, but neighbors.
The rural mail delivery did not kill
Cock Ribin. Who did? 81" said the
daily newspaper, with my linotype
and Associated Press reports" The
rural mail service is but one of the
strings to the bow. The daily news
paper slew the SPELL binder. And it
was a good job.

TILE COUNTRY LoAF1ER.

Register dIlll AC1dCi
We have run across him several
times the past winter. He was Matched
among the corn and potato fields, us
ually the progeny of some hard listed
ayaricious old granger whose only pur-
pose in living is to get more land. AS
a boy, deprived of a boys rights, like
enough worked too hard, living in an
atmosphere of greed and unrefine-
mentf, he gravitates naturally just as
soon as he is big enough into rural
smart Aleck, taking ito cigarets, beer
drinking and the periodical raising the
devil in orderly country communities.
He has no manners except bad ones.
When he looks at a young woman he
leers at her. He is unpleasantiy con-
spicuous at horse races, circuses
Fourth of July celebrations and camp
meetings, the legitimate prey of fak1rs
and side show grafters an ah around
nuisance and really the very poorest
and most worthless product of the fer
tile farms of the country course, loud
mouthed and never we'll dressed or
groomed, as his city cousin sometimes
is. This Ill begotten chap is the direct
antithesis of that industrious, patient,
ambitious farm boy who gravitates
from the cornfields into the highest
places in politics, commerce and the
religious and educational in in this
country

Colo, April s. = 1t is not generally
realized to what extent "the women
folks of Iowa are going into the in
cubator business. Many hardware

both incubators and brooders. One
manufacturer told the writer he had
more orders at present for incubators
than he could fill, with his limited

extensively used as yet, tho it was
only a question Of time when one
would be used with the other. The

DUMMIES VICTORY.

Judge Dunno, representing the radio
al element of municipal ownership of
street car lines, who won yesterday In
the Chicago election, is likely to prove
a disappointment to those who voted
for him in the sincere conviction that
his election meant the immediate abb
sorption by the city of seventy-flve
per cent of the street railways or
Chicago. Judge Dunno promised ev-
erything and is likely to do very little.
The car lines are involved i'm lawsuits
that will outlast Mayor Dunno even If
he had desired to fulfill his pledges.
The republicans advanced the only
feasible plan of absorbing the transit
lines. Theirs was a business PROPOSE
ton. rational from a business mans
standpoint and in line with the state
law. The conservative elements of the
city were with them, but the hoi polloi
disgusted with a miserable service and
smarting under the tyranny and ven
atty of the transit companies voted
to get revenge. That is about all they
are likely to get, except a government
which owes much to the gamblers and
the other elements of the underworld
and must pay its debt.
Municipal ownership in Chicago UNI
der Dunno is tangled and intricate
mess which he nor his administration
need be expected to unravel. Still the
object lesson to other municipalities is
likely to be valuable.

Chinese Examinations.

China is on the opposite side OF the
earth, and the Chinese have a reputa-
ton for doing many things in ways
that are precisely opposite to those OF
western notions. Nevertheless. 1t is
somewhat surprising to learn that they
enjoy examinations and make gala oc-
casions of the days upon which these
disagreeable events take place. Such,
at least, is the experience of Miss Elizs
abeth Irvine, missionary in Shang-
hal, China, In report to the Wom-
ems Union Missionary Society of New
York, she makes the astonishing state
ment that the final examination In the
day schools under her direction has
given great pleasure. 1t is kind of
gala day." she says, when these little
folk Cone school at a time) assemble
in our memorial chapel, decked out as
only little Chinese naidens know how
to do, with their hair dressed up in all
styles. Instead of the feeling of dread
which so often characterizes the west
ern child when the term examination
is used, it is most charitable to see how
placid and self controlled each little
maid of the orient is on this occasion"

for a short time when prices go a
soaring" it would seem as though there
is plenty of room for incubators ana
brooders to stock our Iowa farms With
thousands of chickens, ducks, turkeys
and geese. Query: Will the big pack
ing houses now supposed to control the
egg and poultry market of this coun-
try, be able to stand this incubator
business?
No article on the hen business is
complete without figuring on the prof
| its of the business. 1t makes an inter-
esting evenings pastime. In your
miEd's eye buy a rooster and five hens.
Then figure 200 eggs a year from each
hen, which is. of course, 1000 eggs.
| Then have them all grow up for one
year, that is, hatch out 1000 chickens,
and set 'em next year. To avoid such
largd figures, assume that the record
| year you have 500 roosters and 500
hens. Kill the roosters and set the
hens. Now to have still more intec-
esting results, buy an incubator and
broder, say with a twenty dozen ca-
| pacity every three weeks. Keep all
your chickens till one year old, and
"set" the incubator every three weeks
the following year with eggs of your
own raising Keep this up for five
years. How many chickens, young
and old. will you have at the end of
| that time?

RoosEyELI's GOOD EXAMPLE.

President Roosevelt is away on his
vacation, feeling he. says, like school
boy out OF school, and off for fun. He
will spend his outing in the Rockies
chasing mountain lions with hounds
and trailing bears thru gulches and
over rocky mountain spurs. 1t would
all be hard work if it were work. but
he will come out of the mountains
brown faced and brighteyed with the
open air and thin of flank with the ex-
ercise. Sentimentalists may wonder
that Roosevelt desires to go hunting
and kill something, but after senate
session like the latest the practical
man will understand his feeling. 1t
is better to go west and shoot grizzlies
and, panthers, than to stay in Wash
ington and fight gray wolves"
1t is a pity that every hard worked
man might not have the same desire
to get out in the woods or on the
mountains and the same school boy
feeling to which the president con-
fesses. Men grow stale and need
freshening. They grow narrow between
four walls and in city streets, and
need a wider physical horizon. They
need to get outside and get square
with the world and themselves.
Roosevelt has set the American man
many excellent examples in the science
OF living and one of the best of these
is his insistence on vacation and his
boyish anticipation of its enjoyment.
