CASES AGAINST ATTORNEYS
GO OVER UNTIL MARCH

Arguments on the demurrers filed by
the district attorney in connection with
the contempt proceedings against Hart
ley Shaw and G. Ray Horton, deputy
district attorney, were yesterday con-
tinued until March at o'clock, the
court being unable to take up the
matter because of the trial of David
j. Lewis.
Attorney James G. Scarborough, who
was appointed by Judge Conrey to
prosecute the cases, was present and
was served with copies of the demur-
rers. The charges against Horton and
Shaw are that they issued grand jury
subpoenas while that body was not
in session, and they demur on the
ground that If such action occurred it
was the result of inadvertance.

BOTTLE TRAVELS FAR
Message Thrown Into Des Moines
River ut Ottumwa Picked
Up in Gulf
MOBILE MAN ANSWERS IT
Bottle Travelled Estimated Distance Of
1900 Miles in Twenty nine Days
Placed in Stream When Waters Were
High and Makes Rapid Journey to
Gulf Of Mexico.
Special to Times-Republican.


Ottumwa. July 2s.-Bobbing along on
the current of the Des Moines river
from Ottumwa to the Mississippi river,
and thence down the father of waters
to the delta of the Mississippi in the
Gulf of Mexico thence skirting along
the shores of the gulf until 1t reached
the Bay OF Mobile. where 1t was
picked up twenty days after be-
ing cast into the water, 1900 miles
distant, is the history of a bottle.
This glass cruiser. plain glass
vial, contained slip of paper on
which was written the name Of James
Shaw of Fairfield. Iowa. Mr.. Shaw
was visitor in Ottumwa May 30 and
while in the city conceived the notion
of trying how far a bottle would float
before being picked up. The bottle
was thrown into the Des Moines river
in Ottumwa on Memorial day when
the water was at very high stage.
The matter was finally forgotten by
Mr.. Shaw, who had supposed that the
bottle had been dashed against the
dam at Bonaparte or along the rocks
at points on the river banks. A few
days ago, however. Mr.. Shaw was
agreeably surprised to receive letter
from John e. Dickson of Mobile. Ala.
containing the information regarding
the great trip Of the bottle. Mr.. Dick
son in his letter stated that the bot
tie was picked up by him near the
entrance Of the Bay OF Mobile June
%. and after reading the address OF
Shaw and the history Of the launch
ing of the bottle. he wrote to tell
Shaw of the time made on the cruise.
The distance covered on the cruise
of the bottle is computed at 1900
miles and the time twenty-nine days.
This will show that the average miles
per hour during the trip was less than
three. It is difficult to learn the ac-
tual distance covered and the exact
course of the bottle. The winding and
crooked course Of the streams trav-
ersed make the estimate a close one
rather under than over the exact
amount.

remains were sent to the Catholic
cemetery at Des Moines. Mr.. Malena
was 81 years old, and had no relatives
living in this country except his wife.

Boone. July 2S.--Noah Harding, now
nearly so years of age, ex-fire chief
of the city forces here, and one Of
Boone's grandest pioneer citizens. is
relating an amusing story of vice
presidential nominee Kern on the
democratic ticket Just what John W..
Kern will say when he reads 1t is not
safe conjecture.
Judge Kern's father was a physician
and the Hardings always employed
him. In later years the families sep
arated and Noah Harding upon one
occasion happened in the same town,
in which Doc Kern and his family re-
sided. Harding called upon them and
the good old doctor would hear to
nothing, but that Harding remain over
night. This the visitor consented to
and he was placed in bed with one OF
the youngsters of the family, John w.
Kern. Mr.. Harding says the way that
youngster kicked and tossed, played
foot ball etc, with the pillows, the bed
clothes and so on, was a caution and
he never spent a more restless night
on earth. Mr.. Harding says the young
ster was a good kid alright, but had
more nerves and energy than forty
nine ordinary American boys.

why it is the best of personal and family

It acts pleasantly and naturally and
