The Contented Hostess.

All sorts of ideas are advanced by
, writer's on women's affairs as to how
to make entertaining easy: how to stop
worry: how to make every guest not
only feel at home but that all the little
niceties you offer We're prepared es-
pecially for each one These writer's
mean well but they don't go deep
enough to get at the real facts or they
would find that Nabisco Sugar Waters,
the dainty, delicious CONNECTION, are the
real basis of a hostess success and
contented spirit. They're just the sort
of dessert for luncheon. ideal after
dinner and delightful with a hot cup
or with the tinkling glass on moon
lit porch. Ever tried them with choco-
late into which a marshmalloW has
been dropped? Merely a suggestion!

wHITBECK RETICENT
Man Suspected Of Killing His Father
Returned to West Union-Had Large
Sum of Money on His Person.

Special to Times Republican.
West Union, March 26.--Walter
Whitbeck was landed in Jail here at Z
o'clock last night. He was taken at
Duluth by the town marshal of Rush
City, Mimi, who started after him
when Sheriff Culvers telegram was re-
ceived.
When arrested Whitbeck was going
to the depot to take a train for the
rough country in the Iron range. He
asked what he was wanted for and
when told of the murder asked no fur
ther questions. He is ordinarily re-
ticent and now appears sulky. The
only agitation shown was on the train
when Culver allowed him to read ST.
Paul paper with the story of the mur-
der He does not deny or explain any
thing.
Whitbeck had $417 on his person.
This is considered significant, as the
father was in the habit of carrying
money, yet had none when found
dead. Walter Whitbeck's story as to
his brother Johns financial condition
does not agree with the mothers story,
who accounted for the possession OF
the money the day after the murder
by saying Walter left Johns money
with her. John telegraphed for the
money to come home on from Helena,
Mort.
~ Coroner Cole arrived at II o'clock
and the inquest was resumed this aft
ernoon Only two witnesses were ex-
amined. Another arrest is likely at
any moment.

Accounting as Guards an is Wanted
Great Sympathy for FamiIy-Father
Desires Son to Return.
Special to Tlmes-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, March 26.--Thc Hardin
county grand jury. which has been in
session here all week, today considered
evidence relating TO the recent forgery
case in this county, the account Of
which was recently published in the
T.-R. While nothing whatever has
been obtained from any member Of the
grand jury, or those connected there
with, YET the fact that certain Eldora,
Iowa Falls and Perry parties appeared
before the grand jury today, and the
evidence which these parties have in
!! their possession being known, settles
in the mind of all that are conversant
with the case that the man passing in
who called for the money which had
been sent by Mr.. Biggs, of Iowa Falls,
to the bank at Perry, is none other
than Walter |. Weaver. a young attor-
ney at Iowa Falls. and son of Judge
Weaver, Of the supreme court of Iowa.
The facts which point toward the
guilt Of young Weaver are very posi-
tive. and nearly everyone about the
court house today Is certain that tho
jury will return an Indictment. No
endeavor is being made to suppress
any of the evidence. for the host Of
friends that Judge Weaver has in this
county already know that the judge is
anxious for his boy to return and face
the facts in the case.
The main facts are as follows: His
sudden departure from Iowa Falls on
February "a, and his continued stay
away from home; the description given
Sheriff Walsh by the parties at Per-
, ry; and their immediate recognition
later Of the three different photo
graphs of young Weaver as the man
who called for the money. giving his
name as Stevens; the departure OF his
wife this week from Iowa Falls, who
has been traced as far as Omaha, his
desire to quickly separate from an Ell
dora friend in Chicago. who accident
ally met him, and who at the time
knew nothing Of the developments in
Hardin county.
Coupled with the above, is the fact
that at the previous term of court he
spent much time in the court house
examining records which might help
him in making up an abstract, and be-
sides it has developed since his sud
den leaving home that his accounts as
guardian, justice of the peace. and at
torney, are in very bad shape. Just
before leaving he received 500 from
a client to be paid here at the court
house, which amount was not paid in
at all.
Great sympathy is expressed thru
out these parts for the family, and
the attitude that the father has taken
regarding his son. has won for him
warmer friends, who will prove them
selves stauncher than ever for him in
the future.
