ROUNDED UP
THREE JASPER COUNTY MEN
TRACED WITH BLooDdoUNDS
AND ARRESTED.

Newton, la, Oct ELI Church, his
nephew, Ed Church, and his son-in-
law, Frank Fitch, were arrested to-
day charged with larceny. The men
were captured after Eli Hardin and
his Des Moines bloodhounds had fol-
lowed trail from the ECamon home,
where a number of articles were stol-
en- last night, to the Church place, fif--
teen miles northeast of this city.
For several months the farmers in
the northeastern part of Jasper coun-
ty have been subjected to petty thiev-
ing and the matter reached climax
a few days ago when a 5000 horse was
stolen from the Herman TAFT farm. 1t
it supposed that the horse will be TAX
en-, or was taken, to Des Moines to be
sold at the auction sales there.
A number of articles found at the
Church place were identified as be-
longing to surrounding farmers. The
Church family had been suspected for
some time, but no definite evidence
was ever secured against them before.

THE STRIKE SPREADS.
OTHER UNIONS DEFY CHEF AND
COME TO AID OF IOWA GEN.
TRIAL CAR MEN.

Marshalltown, Ia, Oct. 6.-The rul-
ing of Grand Chief Ronemus of the
Garments union, ordering the striking
car men in the Iowa Central shops
here to return to work. has brought
about complications instead of a set
Element of the trouble The strikers
refused to obey the order and today
the machinists, boiler makers. black
smiths and helpers served notice on
Master Mechanic Feeley that these
departments would refuse to handle
material coming from or going to the
car shops should the company at
tempt to fill the strikers places with
new men. 1t looks now as if the strike
was likely to spread to all the de-
partments in the shops, if not to the
train crews. While the strike has not
yet affected the train service, it is
likely to soon affect the freight ser,
vice, as bad order cars are accumu.
lating and car shortage is probable.

AGARS ASKS DAMAGES
SUE THE ROCK ISLAND FOR $500,
600 FOR ALLEGED DIS
ELIMINATION.

Des Moines, Oct. Con the charge
that they have been illegally discrimi-
mated against in the way of freight
rates and thus placed at disadvan.
tage in competing with other packing
houses on the market, the Agar Pack
ing company of this city has brought
suit for 100000 damages against the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail
way company.
The action is instituted in the Polk
county court of law under the state
law which gives an injured party
right to recover treble damages from
a railway corporation which may be
proven to have Disseminated against
it in rates. Inasmuch as there is a
new federal statute, making rate dis
elimination a criminal offense, the in
PRODUCTION of and taking of evidence
in this state case will be watched
with much interest by federal author
tiles. A victory for the Agar Packing
company would probably mean an i'm
mediate investigation by the federal
authorities.

MANY MOSQUITOES.

Oskaloosa Saturday evening, all
day Sunday and Sunday night expert
enced scourge of mosquitoes, raw
enous, bloodthirsty mosquitoes. They
came in clouds and swarms, in count
less millions. People sought the Sc
clusion of their homes, for to be on
the street or out Of doors was to in
yite tortures from the insects that
was beyond endurance.
The pests invaded the churches,
the restaurants, the hotels, and no
where during Sunday was humanity
safe from the invasion Of the insects.
Many people last night were COMPEL
ed to protect their faces with mos
quito bar or other similar material in
order to secure any rest. The plague
of insects is the worst of the kind
the city has ever known and 1t passes
the experience Of the oldest inhabit-
ants. Whence the insects came so
suddenly and without warning Is a
problem for some OF the wise heads
to figure out. If the insects are in
clined to stay with us a hard frost is
the only thing that viii bring relief.

You not only run the risk Of throwing

No indeed! On the contrary their

LACEY At new SHARON
Addressed Large Meeting of Voters
Saturday Afternoon.

New Sharon, Oct. S.-Congressman
John F. Lacey addressed large gath

afternoon. The meeting was success
satisfying as it was successful. In
addition to the attendance of New
Sharon voters, the meeting was re-
markable on account of the great
number Of farmers present from the
surrounding territory. A keen inter
est was manifested on the part of the
country voters in the meeting. All
seemed to have desire to hear the
Major, and all through his talk he
was accorded the closest of attention.
The meeting, all in all, was a graft
flying compliment to the Major. Be-

The meeting was held in the skat-
ing rink tent which gave splendid
accommodations for the occasion.
Committeeman Watland of Prairie
township introduced the chairman OF
the afternoon, w. F. McVay, candidate
for three year term as supervisor and
this gentleman, in turn, introduced
Mr.. Lacey.
The Major, wherever he addresses
a meeting, is taking pains to explain
the removal of the circle from the
ballot and to show what will be the
method of voting this fall. He ex-
plains in detail how the cross must
be placed in the square against each
name to be voted for and the infor-
nation is always received with the
greatest possible show of interest.
No matter how much the fact of the
removal of the circle and the change
in the law may have been spread
over the country by the papers, there
are voters in every township and pre-
|-cinct who have not understood the
change and the information given out
by Major Lacey never fails to hold
the closest attention of his hearers.
The Major covered the ground of
the political issues in a thorough
manner and at the conclusion of his
talk he introduced the several candi-
dates of the county ticket who were
present, and these gentlemen address
