later
The funeral was held from the Pres
byterian church, Tuesday afternoon,
services being conducted by Rev.
Hugh Robinson, and she was laid at
rest in Greenwood cemetery. The fu-
neral was largely attended and the
flowers with which the casket was
almos completely buried, testfies
to the affection in which the diseased

bors.

Improvements have been made and the
Pier is undoubtedly one of the prettlest
along the Jersey Coast. An innova-
ton which met with approval is the
stage in front pavilion on which Is
given q free show. The different bootI s
and stands were in active operation
and all did a thriving business. The
theatre is occupied with a first class
vaudeville show presenting only the
attractions which have just finished
engagements in the Keith theatres.
For the coming week starting Mon
day next Dida, or the Creation of
Woman from Nothing, will occupy the
front stage. Dida was first introduced
at Hammersteins New York theatre
and had New Workers guessing for two
months. This is the original produc-
ton. It will be seen three times daily,
once in the afternoon and twice in the
evening, absolutely without any charge.
An act that promises to show some
thing new Is that to be given by Mile.
Irene La Tour and her clever little dog
Zaza. The dog is reputed to be a won
Der in the canine world, and assists
Miss La Tour in a number of acrobatic
tricks that are really marvellous. Not
a word is spoken to the little fellow,
and it is plain to be seen that he enjoys
his part of the performance as much as
the spectators he delights. Miss La
Tour is reputed to be n of the most
graceful and clever acrobats ever SEEN,
and with her little dog forms a combi-
nation of grace and intelligence that
would be hard to beat.

are charged 10 cents, children 5 cents.
There are other amusements ON the
pier such as the skating rink. Ten
cents are charged for the hire of the
skates. Bowling alleys, refreshments,
candy, postal and cigar stands. There
are many things to see, in fact it will
take several evenings to see it all.

alton, will hold their annual bazaar
next week on Wednesday, Thursday

Iowa CROP BULLETIN
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AS NOTED BY THE
WEATHER BUREAU.

Des Moines, Sept. 29.-The weather
continued hot and dry up to Satur-
day, the 26th inst, when rain began
breaking the longest September
drouth on record. There was an aver
age daily excess of temperature OF
from ten TO thirteen degrees up to
Saturday, but the temperature was
decidedly below the normal on Sun
day, and the week closed with light
to killing frosts over the larger part
of the state. With the exception OF
a few light showers on the 18th, in
the northeastern counties, and on the
23d in the northwestern counties,
there was no rain in the state from
August 31st to September 26th. The
drouth was very severe on pastures,
late potatoes, garden truck, late fruits
and the water supply, but was the sal
walton of large part of the corn
crop. The bulk of the corn was ma
tured sufficiently to escape any injury
from frost, but, as usual, there was a
small percentage of the crop which

more days of warm weather. Over
ninety per cent of the crop was ripe
at the time Of the first frost, and most
of the remainder was well denied, so
that it will have considerable value as
fodder. The rains of the past two
days will revive pastures and permit
the resumption of fall blowing. On
the whole. the season has been prof
table one. Notwithstanding the con-
tinued and excessive rains during the
period of planting, and the severe
drouth at the close of the season. The
small grain crops, late potatoes and
fruits were below the average, and
the hay crop was abnormally heavy
and put up in excellent condition
The corn crop will be nearly up to the
average of former years, and much in
excess of last year.

HELD TO OR And JURY
Hebet Holden Bound Over Charged
With Theft.

Herbert or Red" Holden, of Bea-
con, is held to the Mahaska county
grand jury upon the serious charge,
of larceny of chickens from an en-
closure. He was given preliminary
trial in Justice l.. NJ. Bacon court,
Monday afternoon, and the evidenced
which was gwen by the witnesses
was deemed sufficient to hold the man
to the grand jury. In default of
bonds he was taken to Jail until his
case id investigated.
Holden, it will be remembered, was
caught by Night officer silas Bennett;
going through an alley In the business
part of town early one morning car
rying a sack of fine, fat, plumpy
fowls. Holden admitted the theft,
saying they had taken the chickens
from his sister. Holden was not ar
rested until several days later. Mrs.
Whitsel, a relative of the accused,
residing on the Beacon road, missed
several of her fine hens the next
morning and complained to the po-
lice. The hens had been decaptat-
ed in the chicken house and the heads
left lying on the ground.
Holden and his companion had ap-
peared earlier in the evening at the
Royal Cafe and bargained Tor the
sale of the birds. N,Aen seen by the
police the men dropped the sack con-
tanning the property. The fellow who
ran down the alley left HoIden to
face the police and has not been seen
since After Holden had turned from
the police, Officer Bennett and Po-
liceman Dan Rillihan, who had come
by this time, made search for the
plumber, which Holden admitted to
have taken. They found a sack con-
tanning six dead hens lying in the
alley at the rear of the Royal Gaze.
What to do with the birds Mr.. Ben
| nett was at loss to know. A1e
| thought he would save as much OF
the value of the property, as possible
for the owners and sold them to the
cafe, receiving a dollar and quar-
ter for the lot. This money is now
in the hands of Mayor Ralston.
Holden was seen a day or two al
! ter the incident in the alley and his
| clothing is said to have been marked
! by traces of blood. He was not ar
rested until the complaint of the
owner of the stolen chickens was
made to the police.
