MYSTERY or THE McKINLEYs.
No Trace or Missing Dakota Editor
and Bride.

No Trace or Missing Dakota Editor
and Bride.
John Kiser, one of the leading mer-
chants Of Ottumwa, while in Pierre
recently said that the disappearance
of Editor j. e. Mckinley, of that
place, with his wife early last August
becomes more of mystery as time
goes by. Mckinley went to Ottumwa
early last summer and started pa
per- and after being there short
time married a young woman claim
holder near that place. He conduct
ed the paper up to August and APP
peared ITO be prosperous. While there
were a few debts against the plant
the business would have easily paid
them out in a short time. Besides
the paper, he was interested in the
townsite and had other interests, all
of which were bringing him money.
The day before he disappeared he
paid several bills which he owed and
said he would have to so to Midland
to look after some business on Satur-
day and might not be back until
Monday Saturday morning himself
and wife drove away from their claim
near Ottumwa, going toward Midland,
and that was the last ever seen or
heard of them by anyone who knew
them. They never reached Midland
nor any other town along the rail-
road as far as can be learned, nor can
any trace be secured of their having
stopped at any place within radius
Of Ottumwa either at noon or that day
or that night. While the business af-
fairs of Mckinley showed few debts
IL was at first thought that he had
skipped out for some reason only
iSnown to himself, and that he or his
wife would be heard from soon in re-
ga I'd to the household goods and per-
sonal effects they left in their house.
But nothing has been head, and the
fact that relatives of his wife have
been within the past few days writing
to Ottumwa 90 learn if anything has
been heard from her show that she
has not communicated with them
since disappearing from Ottumwa.
The whole thing is a mystery of that
part of Stanley county, and no one
has been able to get any trace what
ever of either of the couple from the
day they drove away. The fact of
his paying bills the day before he
left takes away the impression that
ne had intended to skip out and leave
the few creditors he had out of their
due.

The State bank at Clinton, ILL.,, was
held up and robbed of $4,000 in coin
shortly before o'clock Monday af-
ternoon by two men who made their
escape. 1t was just a few minutes
after closing time when the men APP
peared in the bank, and with drawn
revolyers forced President William
Argo, Cashier Murphy and Bookkeep-
er John Young to enter the big vault,
which they locked. The bulk of the
money had already been placed in the
currency safe in the vault and the
time lock set, but $4,000 in gold and
silver remained on the counter. This
the robbers shoveled into a bag and
took with them TO the Hotel Henion,
where they had previously engaged

I'm rolls SO that it could be easily car

hotel when officers learned of their
presence and attempted to break in
the door.

In gold and leaving $1,000 in silver
In the room. 1t was dark when the
men escaped from the hotel and all
traces of them was lost.
Before the highwamen left the
bank building they calle' up the tele-
phone operator and requested her to
send someone to the bank and release
the three bank officials imprisoned in
the vault. Charles Parker, collector
Tor the bank, was the only person who
knew the combination to the vault,
and after short search he was found
and hurried to the assistance of the
imprisoned men,. When Parker open
ed the vault door the men were al.
most suffocated.

NEAR TURNING POINT.
Banks Expect Soon to Resume Cash
Basis

J. Pierpont Morgan had short
conference with Secretary Cortelyou
at Washington Saturday afternoon
and at its conclusion left for New
York. Nothing was disclosed in re-
gard to the object of his visit and it
did not last more than fifteen minu
ties. Mr. Morgan seemed to be in the
best of spirits. He remained at his
room at the Arlington hotel most of
the morning and received only few
callers. Postmaster General Meyer
called late in the forenoon with his
automobile and Mr.. Morgan left the
hotel for a time with him. His asso-
ciate, President Baker, of the First
National bank, was at the treasury de-
partment in the morning and had a
conference with Secretary Cortelyou.
A feeling Of confidence of the sue
cess in the new loans seemed to pre-
vail at the treasury Saturday and was
apparently heightened by the assur-
ance given by Mr.. Morgan of the i'm
York. The strong rally in the stock
market and the loss of half million
IN the required reserve Of the New
York banks strengthened the feeling
that confidence was returning and
that it will be reflected in the offers
for the new securities during the
week. The visit of Mr.. Morgan was
generally accepted among bankers in
Washington that leading bankers in
New York intended to operate with
the treasury department in making a
success of the new loans.

TRAINS TO BUTTE SOON.
Milwaukee Will Start Service From
Aberdeen January o5th.

A train schedule between Aberdeen
and Miles City, Mont, will be put in
to force on the Milwaukees coast ex-
tension within the next ten days.
Construction work is completed to
that point and the road expects to
have trains running as far as Butte
by January 25th. Several months ago
these dispatches. gave prominence TO
a prediction made by President Earl
ing, of the Milwaukee, who passed
through Aberdeen on an inspection
tour of the extension route. President
Earring said then that he would have
trains running to Butte by the first OF
the year. It will be about one month
later than predicted. The excellent
weather has helped the contractors
in pushing the construction work
rapidly.
1t Is the plan of the road TO make
Aberdeen the principal division point
for the present. Trains will be made
up there for Miles City, Mont, and
intermediate points, to connect with
the Twin city trains. and thus Mime
apolis and st. Paul will have di-
rect route to Montana through new
territory west of the Missouri river
and through the southwestern portion
of North Dakota.

THRONE is IN PERIL.
Situation in Portugal Held Extremely
Critical

A special dispatch from Madrid
says It is rumored that collisions have
occurred between the troops and in
surgents in Lisbon, and many per-
sons have been killed and wounded.
Persons arriving from Lisbon, the
dispatch states, report that Col. Tasta,
aide de camp to King Carlos, has re-
signed and that several regiments of
doubtful loyalty have been disarmed.
All leading politicians. the dispatch
adds, are being Swallowed by detec-
tives, and many persons are leaving
the country. The king has refused to
sign a decree extending partial laws
throughout the whole kingdom.
Reports representing that Portugal
is on the eve of revolution are re-
ceived in Paris with caution, as dis
patches coming directly from that
country have been censored, and those
indirectly across the frontier are more
or less under suspicion. Both the re-
ports Of the Punishment of the crown
prince and the mutiny of the fleet are
denied at the embassy in Paris, Never
theless the making of arrests, the sus-
pension of a newspaper and other re-
pressive measures which have been
taken by what Premier Franco terms
an administrative dictatorship seem
conclusive that matters in Portugal
have entered upon critical phase.
This condition undoubtedly has been
precipitated by the interview with
King Carlos last week, in which he
announced his absolute faith in Pre-
mier Franco, and his intention to all
low the premier to choose the time
for holding of the election of the
cortes.

DAVENPORT TO BOOK.
Mayor and Sheriff In Danger OF Los
ing Jobs.

Without any delay the civil officers
brought to an accounting for their
failure to stop Thursday nights prizo
fight in Davenport, as well as Capt
o. w. Kulp, who was placed under
arrest Friday and wTll be tried by
courtmartial within eight days. Gov.
Cummins has appointed Maj. Johnson,
of the Fifty-third regiment at Maquo-
keta. as judge advocate general of the
courtmartial 1t is understood that
from eight to fifteen officers of the
guard, outside the F'ifty-fourth regi-
ment, of equal or higher rank than
Capt. Kulp, will be summoned to act
as the court 1t will sit at Des Moines,
and probably its hearings will be pub
lie
Within eight days the court will be
constituted and try Capt. Kulp. Prior
to that time he will be served with
written charges which Gov. Cummins
has direct I'd Col. Logan, assistant adj
jutant general, to prepare.
1t is expected at the governors Of
flee that some citizens of Davenport
will appear to complain against the
sheriff of Scott county and the mayor
of Davenport for not enforcing the
law. In case such a complaint IS
lodged Attorney General Byers will
proceed to the work of removing the
accused from office for not stopping
the fight. Proceedings of this charac-
ter will be brought before the presid-
ing Judge of the district court and be-
fore a jury.
1t is understood that Capt. Kulp's
sole defense will be that there was
no prize fight in Davenport. 1t is the
position of both Gov. Cummins and
Adjt Gen. Thrift that the contest was
a fight, but that whether or not X
was, their orders to Kulp permitted
no discretion on his part, but demand
ed immplicit obedience.
While the public was amused by
the performance at Davenport when
1T first learned of it, there is indig-
nation also that BODIES i'll for Deven-
ports defiance of the laws of the
state. Gov. Cummins has already re-
ceived many assurances of support for
a policy intended to make an exam
pie of those responsible for Thursday
nights events.

after a search which comm enced i'm
September. Wilton was finally appre-
hcnded near Mission Hill, in the ex-
IRENE southeastern part Of the state,
while he was supposed to be making
his way from the country, and was
brought back to Sioux Falls by Depu-
ty Eugene Kelley, of Sioux Falls.

instead of doing so he drove to Sioux
Falls and sold the horse, which was
again sold by the purchaser to Sioux
rails Liveryman, in whose possession
it was found by Rankin, the Madison
owner. Wilton then disappeared. A
few days ago it was learned that he
had placed several horses in the pas
ture OF a farmer near Centerville,
Turner county, and Sheriff Nelson, or
Sioux Falls, was informed of this. 1t
was intended to arrest Wilton when he
went to the pasture for the horses, but

ARRESTS WIFE FOR MARRYING.
Says He,pmeet Sold Farm and Eloped
to United States.

Charged with selling her husbands
farm near a little Austrian town and
deserving two of her three small child
Ladislof, a farm hand, and then with
having married Warvagiven Kaovia,
of Port Richmond, Pa, her third "af-
finity," after the farm hand had taken
the money and left her in the lurch
with child to care for, Yetta Alster,
of Philadelphia, faces term in prison
for bigamy
Four years ago Isador Alster. her
first husband. left his home and fam
lily in Austria to seek his fortune in
America. He established himself in
business in New York City, and was
so prosperous that he could afford to
send his wife $1,000 in the four years.
The husband never suspected her, and
when he was informed by cablegram
from friends that she had sold the
farm for $4,000 and was on her way
to this country with the farm hand
he was amazed.
Immediately he began search for
his wife. District Attorney Jerome, of
New York, took a personal interest in
the foreigners case. and in a few
weeks the detectives had an linking
that the much married woman was in
Philadelphia. So he informed De-
tectives Harry Bozarth and Thomas
McCully of the circumstances.
After an all-day search the detec-
tives found the woman out in Port
Richmond, and made the arrest. Isa-
dore Alster was with the men at the
time and identified the woman as his
wife. With her was the 9-year-old
daughter.
But Yetta Alster had found he~
third affinity" in the meantime in
the person of Warvagiven Koavia, who
she says she married in Bridesburg,
three weeks ago. after she had been
converted to the Roman Catholic
faith. Every one concerned in the
alleged triple marriage was present
at the hearing before Magistrate
Hughes except the mysterious farm
hand and the two children who were
left with friends In Austria.
