Toledo. Aug. 1.-THE mystery con-
nected with the disappearance OF cash
from the money drawer in the c. & N.
w. depot was cleared up this morning,
and the thef,s are shown to have been
committed b. mere lad Of 10 years.
This morning while Station Agent
Arnold and Operator Snyder were un-
loading freight at the depot, leaving
the ticket office vacant for a few mo-
ments, Mr. Snyder heard the bell on
the money drawer ring, and looked In
the window just in time to see Willard
Winterwode, a boy leaving the room
with the contents of the drawer. The
money and other contents were later
secured by an officer, but young VIM
terwode was not placed under arrest.
Operator Snyder says his cash has
been short about So for a week, and he
is now convinced that Winterwode.
who has been loatlng about the depot,
is responsible for its disappearance.
Whether or not the boy will be prose-
cuted has not been determined.
Masked Men Attempt Robbery.
Another ROBBERY was attempted here
last night. when two masked men en-
tered the power house of the electric
plant, at about $3.50 o'clock, and con-
fronted Fred Cline and Engineer Jack
SON. Before the men had time to make
demand. THE two employees reached
for rife kept near. and the would-be
robbers took to their heels. They ran
southwark and have not been seen or
heard from since. Both were tall men,
but beyond this no description is OBJ
tainable, as their faces were complete

motive but that of robbery can be adj
vanced.

them how they had enjoyed their va
cation. Reports had strayed into Sioux
City from Des Moines that the camp
and make-believe battle hadn't turned
out to be soft snap, and when the
boys unloaded themselves last night
they presented certain proof of the
veracity of the reports.
The most lamenting was made be-
cause of the small tents which they
were obliged to carry while on the
march. The tents, 1t seems, afforded
no shelter by night of consequence, and
felt like the hatiron building when on

and pretty little four cornered fight
to see who shall be honored with the
election as supreme representative.
That's about all the fight there is to
this contention. And 1t is a friendly
little contest, in the best of feeling,
just enough to make the strong men

SMITH FOR SENATOR
From Ninth District Is
Brought Out for AIlison's Success
sor as Result Of Demand for Young
Man

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Aug. 14.-Walter I.
Smith is unofficially brought out as a
candidate for the senate ton succeed
Senator Allison, In an editorial this
morning in the Nonpareil. Comment
ing on the editorial appearing in the
Marshalltown s-Republican of
Monday, about the demand for a
young man for the senate and Con-
gresham Smith, the paper says edi-
torially:
This demand has been shared by
friends Of both Senator Allison and
Governor Cummins, and while it may
always suggest the elimination Of the
former, 1t by no means always appears
in the interest of the latter, for there
are those who think that Cummins as
we'll as Allison is too old for the place.
The point is made that if Allison is
old now at IS, with a long and sue
cessful career in the senate to his
cr..:t, Cummins certainly is almost as
Old at 81, considered as beginner in
the senate, with at least two terms to
hi rg member in prominence.
The demand for a young man for
the serate thus commands attention.
Where is the young man? The Mar
shaitown paper points to Walter l.
Smith, and indicates some marks Of
strength which would serve him in
such campaign. 1t is our opinion
tina. the Times Republican has spoken
With sagacity and incison. If Sem
atoraA lison does not mean to be q cam
diiate for the senate, or If he does not
make g seasonable indication of what
his intentions are, then we unhesitat-
ingly say that Walter !. Smith is our
candidate, and furthermore, we believe
that in such circumstances he would
be the choice OF a sufficient number Of
the re publicans of Iowa at the primary
neXs June to make him the next sena-
tor from this state. The demand for
a young man for the senate inevitably
suggests Walter l. Smith. He was As
a month ago. Iowa knows that he is
pre- minently qualified. But if Sena-
tor Allison is to be a candidate, we do
not believe that anyone will have an
opportunity to be for Smith"
