of their present terms. State Sena-

said to be the choice to succeed Cock

Indicted for Fraud.

Saars, Roebuck and Go, the Chicago o
mail order house. must stand trial in
the federal court at Des Moines, says
the Leader OF that city, on changes OF
using the, United States mails TO de-
fraud An indictment containing three
counts was returned against the firm
bv the federal grand jury. The pen
atty upon conviction will be fine OF
$500 on each coput.
The Indictment is based on three
cases in which it is alleged the com
pany misrepresented articles listed for
sale in its catalogues, which were sent
out through the mails. Besides the
catalogues, it is claimed, that the con-
Germ used letters, circulars, pamphlets
order blanks and letter Heads to de-
ceive and defrsud its customers.
The first count charges that on June
13 the company devised a scheme to
obtain money by false pretenses from
DIR. G. f. Spring, 23l Utica building,
Des Moines. On that date letter was
mailed to him in which the following
statements were made:
"All our paints contain white lead
made in our great paint factory under
the supervision of the finest paint ex-
perts. They have given universal sat
isfaction, and we are able to place over
them our most liberal guarantee. which
YOU are doubtless familiar with.
As a matter of fact, so the indict-
M an, sets ont. Sears. Roebuck u co.
did not manufacture paint in its own
factory. Its paint was not OF the nigh
est grade and was not equal to any
ready mixed paint on the market, re-
gardless of price, as advertised in its
catalogue. Furthermore, the paint did
not contain white lead. so the indict-
ment charges
r. II. Miles, rural route No |. Des
Moines, is the victim in the other two
counts of the Indictment. On Nav 20
Mr. Miles ordered ring advertised IN
the Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalogue
to contain four pearls and four asp
phires. The ring that he received dld
not contain either pearls or sapphires
and was materially inferior in quality
to the ones described in the catalogue.
On May MIR. Miles ordered anoth-
er ring avdertised to contain twelve
pearls and two rubies. The ring he
received contained neither pearls or
rubies. Both the catalogues and the
rings we're sent through the mails,
making the alleged misrepresentation
a violation of the federal statutes re-
garding the use of the mails.

to the strain of working for days and
nights without sleep and scarcely stop
ping for anything to eat. He lay at
his little east side home tossing and
raving in the delirium of typhoid fe-

had filed his place. and now he was
forgotten. Scenic artists. like actors.

of the warm hearted stage folk had
had time to think Of aught except the
duties that weighed so heavily on each
and every one they might have
thought that the sick man, out of work
and helplessly i'll. might be suffering
for want of money. Granger was Il
favorite generally, and many a time
had he gone down into his scant saw

some needy professional in distress If
anything ever reminded the company
of Granger's absence it might have
been that his little girl, an only one of
seven, came no more with the artists

A Golden Dream Vanishes,


A York county farmer killed chick
en- and when his wife cleaned the fowl
she found in its Craw piece of gold.
AS the chicken had never strayed from
the farm on which it was matched the
inference was that it had picked the
nugget from the soil near its home,
and visions Of second California gold
field fitted through the minds of the
York county agricultursts. The dis.
c0very of gold would nave doomed the
county more than the political fights
which have rent it from centre to cir
cumference.
But alas for human hopes and the
expectations of the York county
farmers. 1t was subsequently discover
ed that the nugget of gold found in
the chickens craw was merely the
filling of some person tooth. probably
wrenched from its fastening by an at
tempt of the owner TO masticate York
county scrapple or an apple dumpling
constructed by York county house
wife. There will be no delving into
the earth of that county in search Of
the mother lode from which the gold
nugget was supposed to have been 6e-
taohed. The excitement over the al
legged discovery of the precious metal
has died out and the owner of the
farm has decided that potatoes and not
gold shall be raised on his farm.
Thus do the dreams of wealth van

feeling that somebody believes in us,
trusts us. no matter what others be

through the consciousness that some

At The Methodist Church.

Rev. j. w. Moore, pastor of
the Methodist church, last Sum
day began a series of special
sermons of a highly important
character. His morning dis
course was to children, and the
little folks turned out in large
numbers, and were evidently
deeply impressed. The talk to
fathers and mothers " was heard
by a large and deeply interested
congregation at the evening hour!
Next Sunday morning the SER
mon will be to husbands and
wives, and at night to young
ladies and young men. 81
Few pastors have ever more
completely moved the. hearts of
their people in, a years time
than has this consecrated and
eloquent preacher, and as the
annual conference approaches
our Methodist friends become
more anxious for his return to
this charge for another year.
Such men as Mr.. Moore are al
ways in demand, but tits to be
hoped the Hende sorville church
viii have his services for another
wear.
