| Waterloo, Dec. 2.-Chief Of Police j
B. Weber, of Lacrosse, Wis., arrived
here to guard Harry Rogers and the
woman arrested with him, both alleged
silk thieves, until the arrival of Sher-
if Burns, who went to Madison, Wis,
for requisition papers, From Madi-
son Sheriff Burns will go to Des
Moines to get Governor Garst to sign
them. He is expected to arrive here
| today with the requisite instruments
for the extradition of the two prison
ers who are wanted at Lacrosse for
the theft of about $500 worth of silk
last March. Most of the silk was
stolen from the Park Dry Goods COM
pany, but few bolts We're taken
from two tailors. All of the silk was
recovered at the express office, where
1t was ready to be shipped to st. Paul
with the exception of silk coat. q
silk remnant and a bolt of new goods.
Lost No Time in Coming.
So eager are the authorities at La
Crosse to hold the prisoners arrested
here that Chief of Police Weber
boarded the first train after getting
the news Of the arrests. He sent q
message by long distance telephone
and also by telegraph, asking that the
man and woman be held, and set out
for Waterloo at the first opportunity.
Sheriff Burns also left on the first
train for Madison, to get the govern
or's signature to the necessary papers.
The prisoners will not leave the state
until these credentials are in the
hands Of the officers who come, for
them.
Chief of Police Weber yester-
day identified Harry Rogers and de-
scribed one of the two women that
were with him at Lacrosse last
spring. He said she had two gold
teeth in the left upper jaw in front.
and that she went under the name of
Nellie Roach while there. The other
woman was older.
Gang of Four Hundred.
Mr.. Weber says that there are
about 400 men and women in this or
ganized gang of silk robbers, and that
they are the most expert in the world.
He says Rogers is probably wanted In
thirty or forty different places. 1t is
said that Rogers has recently returned
from trip to Vancouver Island, to
which place he fed when the author
tiles got too warm on his trail in the |
western part of the United States.
1t is generally understood that the \
headquarters are at ST. Paul, which
accounts for the silk stolen at La
Crosse being destined to that place.
Mr.. Weber also says that the gang |
has shrewd attorneys who come to
their aid when any one of the mem
bers gets into trouble.

UP 10 CITY COUNCIL.
Fight Against Sunday Shows in Mus

Special to es-RepuDiican.
Muscatine, Dec. 2.-The fight against
Sunday shows is now UP to the city
council for settlement. In the case of
the ministerial association VS.. j. C.
Sodjni and the Family theater. the
defendant has entered a demurrer in
which he alleges that as Muscatine is
under a special charter, and as all
places Of amusement are licensed by
the city, the council alone has the
right to state terms under which a
place of amusement shall be run. The
ministerial association in response to
this move, will ask the laynen of the
city to express themselves by petition,
in regard to open theaters on Sunday.
The liberal element think that council
will decide in their favor, while church
people are equally certain that they
will win. In the meantime, all places
of amusement continue in their merry

The Awful Toll Collected by consump-

The Awful Toll Collected by consump-
ton.
If people could only understand that
Catarrh Is an internal scrofula-that
nothing applied externally does much
warned so often about this fatal dis
ease, which, when neglected, invariably
ends up in Consumption, at the cost
of millions of lives every year. Yet
Catarrh is easily cured if the right
treatment is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs in the
blood which circulate thruout the en-
tire system. External remedies give
but temporary ease Altho the effects
are often seen in the form of pimples,
rash, eczema or dry scaly skin. the
trouble is internal, and can never be
cured by external remedies.
The only way to cure Catarrh is by
employing a medicine which is abb
sorbed and carried by the blood to all
parts of the system, so that the mu-
cous membrane or internal lining Of
the body is thoroughly medicated,
soothed disinfected of germ matter,
and the soreness healed.
We have remedy prepared from
the prescription Of a physician who
for thirty years studied and made Ca
tarrh specially and whose record of
success was cure in every case where
his treatment was followed as pre-
scribed. That remedy is Rexall Mucu-
Tone. We are so positive that it will
cure Catarrh in all its various forms,
whether acute or chronic. that we
promise to return every penny paid us
for the medicine in every case where
1t fails to cure or for any reason does
not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexan Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
Obligation or risk when you try Rexall
Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu- Tone in two sizes.
The prices are soc and 81. Very often
the 6oc size, effects q cure. OF course,
in chronic cases a longer treatment is
necessary. The average in such in
stances is three $1.0O bottles. The Nc
