your success depends very lar sely
upon your employees, that they are
really your silent partners, that you
could not possibly get rich without

opportunities as good as thosa you

Many employers do not praise, upon

for the employee that criticism is
much better than appreciation. Moth

SHIELDS SENTENCED
Man Who Robbed Adair Postoffiee
Given Penalty of Four Years-$3,ooo
Worth Of Diamonds and Rings Found
on His Person.

Special to Times-Republican.
Keokuk, Dec. 9.-James Shields, who
robbed the Adair postoffice, was SEN
fenced to four years in federal prison
by Judge Mcpherson, in federal court
today.
Shields is the man who on Saturday
last was caught walking out of the
postoffice with the cash Of the post
office, which he had wadded up and Sc
creted in his mouth. He was taken at
once to Des Moines, where Judge Nc
Pherson was holding court, and q spe-
cial session was held on Sunday to
permit Shields to enter a plea of
guilty. He was ordered to Keokuk for
the passing of sentence.
1t later developed why Shields was
so anxious to plead guilty to the post
office robbery. When he was searched
by federal officers after reaching Des
Moines, $4,000 worth of diamonds and
rings were found concealed on his per-
son. jewelers. at Adair were COM
municated with and thereupon found
that their store had been robbed.
Shields evidently hoped to get his
sentence before the officers discovered
the diamond robbery.
Shields claims to have been a mem

Most Notable Assemblage Ever
Gathered to Discuss Transpor-
tation Now in Session
FAIRBANKS WANTS BOND ISSUE
Vice, President Among tho Speakers
and Favors Permitting Future Gen.
erations to Bear Some Of Burdens
Three Years Of Talk Pave Way for
Immediate Action.

Washington, Dec. 9.-One OF the
most notable gatherings ever assembled
in the history of this country, in the
interest of waterway development, was
called to order today when the ma
tional rivers and harbors congress met
in fifth annual convention. The con-
gress is national in its purpose. rep
resenting all sections and all water
ways, and is endeavoring to impress
congress with the necessity of COM
prehensive policy for improving the
rivers, canals and harbors of the ma
ton.
Vice President Fairbanks, Ambassa-
dor James Bryce. Samuel Gompers.
Seth Low, Champ Clark. and other
prominent men addressed the conven-
ton during the day.
Fairbanks Favors Bond Issue.
Mr. Fairbanks said 1t was perfectly
obvious that the improvement OF our
waterways had not kept abreast Of our
industrial needs and our national pro-
gress. The time has arrived when we
must give to the subject Of securing
adequate transportation facilities at q
minimum cost intelligent and effective
consideration. In discussing the cost OF
improving American waterways. the
svice president said that as much OF the
benefit to be derived from these ex-
penditures would be for the future,
reasonable share of the amount should
be provided for by bond issue, so az
to justly and equitably distribute the
burden among all the beneficlaries Of
the expenditure.
Time Ripe for Act.
The need Of some immediate legisla-
ton looking to the improvement Of the
waterways of the country was the key
note of the address Of Representative
Joseph E. Ransden, who presided to-
day. He said congress has been passing
resolutions and doing educational work
for the past three years. The time is
now ripe to see some results from this
work.

WILL CONTEST BEGUN
Children of Mrs. Sarah winsIow, of
Newton, Seek to Set Aside Will -
Large Estate Left to One Son.

Special to Tirnes-Republican.
Newton, Dec. 9.-The suit over the
the will of the late Sarah E. Winslow.
of this place, was commenced in the
district court here today, and will
probably occupy the undivided atten-
tion of Judge Clements and a jury
during the next five or six days. -Four
children Of the deceased are fighting
the. probating Of the will and seek to
have it set aside and an. equal division
made between the heirs.
Mrs. Winslow, who was the former
wife Of William Armstrong, died in
July, 1906 The children by the first
marriage are the parties to the suit.
Mrs Winslow left the bulk of her es-
tate to her younger son, George Arm
strong, giving him a life interest in
property valued at $4,000. Smaller be-
quests of several thousand dollars each
were made to grandchildren, but the
other four children, two sons and two
daughters, were cut off with 81 each.
These children are plaintiffs in the
present action. They are Alexander, Of
Newton; Lewis, of Chicago, and Mrs.
David Wormley and Mrs. Alice Swell
hart. They are protesting the will on
the ground that Mrs. Winslow was OF
unsound mind and was unduly influ-
enced by the son George.
Mr.. Armstrong died in 1900, leaving
an estate of 500 ,O0O which was divided
equally between the six children except
George, after the widow had received
one third. George Armstrong was cut
off because of his reckless habits.
Therefore when the mother died she
sought to make George her chief bene-
ficiary4 but with the proviso that he
should not come into possession of the
property until such time as the trus-
tee whom she named in the will con-
cluded his habits had been mended and
he was able 70 cars for his property.

Immediately assumed an attitude of re-
sentiment and replied sharply that the
officer had better attend to his own
business. The officer insisted on his IN
quiries when Adam Cod threatened
the officer with physical violence. Of
ficer Holt was not armed, but stood ms
ground, and Adam Cod struck him a
heavy blow behind the ear with pis-
tol, making an ugly wound.

Holt then started for, the police sta
ton for assistance and as he moved
away, the preacher tried to shoot him.

dropped his revolver as he attempted
to draw it and when he picked it up
and snapped it at the officer the cart
ridge failed to explode.
Officer Holt rushed into the police
station and warned the officers Of i'm
pending trouble. The police sergeant in
charge ordered Patrolmen Charles Dali
bow and Harry E.. Siege to go out and
arrest Sharp and his followers. The re-
ligionists came UP the street and as
soon as they saw the officers opened
fire. Dalbow was killed instantly and
bullet passed thru Stege's arm. Other
officers, hearing the firing, rushed into
the street and a general battle ensued.
Lieutenant Clark, who had come into
tie street unarmed, was shot In the
eve, and Patrolman Mullane was shot
in the back as he hurried into the po-
lice station for reinforcements. In the
meantime riot call had been sounded
and policemen were appearing from all
directions.
The officers closed in on Pratt and
his followers, firing as they went. When
the firing ceased Adam God lay fatally
wounded, shot thru the head and the
body.
The seriously injured were taken to
hospitals.

1t was later learned that Sharp's male
companion was Luis Pratt, father of
the five children He was uninjured
and taken in charge by the police. The
children escaped to houseboat in the
Missouri river. Fifty policemen followed
and tho the women armed with a shot
gun, defied them when rushed toward.

Washington, Dec 9.-The president
sent to congress a short special mes
sage advocating an emergency volun-
teer army measure under the terms of
which 10000 men could be put into

an army ever be required. The draft of
the bill accompanying the message was
introduced in the senate by Mr.. Gull
lom The president says the bill is in
tended to replace the present law,
which was placed on the statute books
"pecemeal and hurriedly, partly on the
eve of the war with Spain and partly
after hostilities had actually COM
menced" The message says further:
ut is designed to afford the complete
machinery by which, should we be
confronted with foreign war, the
executive power could proceed at once
to transform enthusiastic and patriotic
citizens into efficient and organized
soldiers. Happily there is at present
no cloud upon our horizon, but that
very fact affords US the best opportun-

Vast Area Once Covered by oeaWeeo
Now Clear Watex.
Norfolk, Va, Dec. 9-The Sargasso
Sea, the graveyard of helpless hulks
and drifting derelicts, in the heart OF
the Atlantic, by some phenomenon Of
nature, has completely disappeared. So
reports Captain James Walters OF the
British steamer Hornby Castle, which
haa just arrived here from Vera Cruz.
He says the sea, once marked by sea-
weed and drift, is now broad ex-
panse of clear water. The large area
of comparatively still water which lies
in the interior of the several currents
of the North Atlantic is called the
"Sargasso Sea" on account of the
quantity of seaweed that foated on its
surface. This area, which is Of an ir-
regular elliptical shape. nearly equals
that of continental Europe. Into 1t is
collected a large. proportion OF the
drift, or wreck, which floats about the
North Atlantic.
