SLAeEl IS FREE
Escaped Prisoner From County
Jail Arrannes Settlement
With the Sheriff.
ATTORNEY HERE TO CONFER
Payment of Original Fine and Costs OF
Case Is Ordered-Amounts in All
to Over $500.

James b. Slagel has finally fixed
accompany Sheriff Kittilsen from Ce-
.dar Rapids to this city to serve the
remainder of his term in the county
: Jail here. When he escaped from here
he went to Texas and soon afterwards
: was married. He then went home to
/. his father, who is none other than
Chris Slagel, formerly of this city, and
was taken under the parental roof and
, sheltered. When he was finally re-
captured his father at once secured
legal talent to fight extradition, and
the hearing on it was to have come up
before the governor of Iowa tomorrow.
: At the sast moment Slagel began to
feel that the requisition would be hon
ored, and he sent Louis Helms, his at
3 torney, to confer with the sheriff to
/. see If the matter could not be settled
A conference was held between the
: county authorities here and the attor-
ney, with the result that it was decided
: to allow Slagel his freedom on pay
ment of the fines and costs in his case.
Served hut "a Days.
Slagel had served but "a days in Jail
and had several months more coming.
1t amounted in all to fine of some
thing over 500, which was paid and
the case was dismissed. The expense
of getting out requisition papers fell
upon the county. as there was no way
to make Slagel pay for them. This
lends the matter. and Slagel will not
have to come back and grace the coun'
-ty jail.
His offense consisted in stealing arti-
scles of value from several business
houses in Rock Island, gaining en-
trance by representing himself to be
an electrician.

Dressing We'll.

The editor Of one of the best women'S
magazines recently raised the question.
Can a woman dress on 800 a year?"
He was unfortunate in his selection of
women TO answer his question. The
unanimous reply was, "It is absolutely
impossible. Only man would ask such
a question" Had these women really
investigated the matter they would
have found that according TO the wage
earning population the income of the
average woman would not justify the
expenditure of half that amount In
fact, half the women of our country
dress on $50 year. Where one woman
spends more than 500 for clothes. two
women spend less than $50. Yet the lat
ter class of women are comfortably,
neatly. and, in some cases, daintily
clothed. One may venture the assertion
that they get as much satisfaction out
of clothes as their more eXtravagant
sisters. The adjusting of ones income
TO ones wants and necessities is a de-
lightful occupation, and many of the
wealthiest women find much of the
spice of life in the practice of small
economies. 1t requires neither intelli-
gence nor culture to merely spend a
dollar, but to make one dollar do the
work Of three, requires master mind
and cultured taste If one could but
lose sight Of the gaunt specter of neces-
sity, it would be far more interesting to
be poor than to be rich. Yet it is doubt
full if the average wife of a man on a
salary of $1,000 year loses sight of her
limitations long enough to see the. ex-
ercise of foresight, system and above
all. the culture of her own will and
character gained by following her own
systems and plans for expenditures aft
er she has put them on paper

ty. We are so wrapped up in ourselves
and our own concerns that we pay no
attention to those who are suffering
bravely but silently around us. trying
to work as best they may, though they
feel themselves growing weaker and
weaker every day.
A word of cheer the offer of little
help while yet the struggler is able to
help himself would renew his coura ge
and add new strength to his heart.
Sympathy and support and help and
pity-all these come tao late when all
hope. all ambition. all faith, all
strength have departed.
Let us not then be so blind so cold,
so forgetful. so selfish. Let us not shut
our eyes and our ears to the Struggles
of those around us. waiting till the
crash of their fall awakes us to their
need. Let us help our fellow-toilers
while they are yet on their feet. able
to respond to a word or an act of pity
or Christian kindness. Let us try to
avoid the censures of our own heras
for generosity offered when the day
Of generosity was over, and for help
which we rendered when it was too
late to benefit the one we should have
helped earlier in the struggle.
