Citizens After Horse Thief.

Iowa Falls.-Residents of the cent
raj part of this county have been
sharing the excitement the past few
weeks of trying to capture a horse
thief. Some weeks ago, horse was
stolen from the barn of Rev. Ralph
at Owasa, but he made a successful
getaway with the stolen property.
The residents of the town and ada
cent country bent every effort in the
search for the thief and the missing
horse and last succeeded in finding
the horse which had been sold for a
small sum but the thief had skipped
the country, it is supposed, although
sharp lookout will be kept in hopes
of yet landing the culprit

the next few years of his life behind
prison walls for shooting Mrs. Picray
a few weeks ago. A jury in the dis
trict court found him guilty of man.
slaughter. He will be sentenced for
an indeterminate period not to ex-

Towards story that his mind was
blank when he fired the shot that
killed Mrs. Picray was not given much
weight by the jury. In the opinion of
the jurors his admission that he re-

claim
Howard, who is only 20 years of
age, shot Mrs. Picray while walking
home with her sister and Alexander
Mcintosh. The state claimed that the
bullet was intended for the sister,
Mabel Adair, with whom he had a
slight quarrel. Howard ran away
from the scene and returned to the
army post where he was arrested the
next morning. He was indicted for
murder in the first degree

Keokuk.-The mystery as to the
disappearance of DIR. George w. Jones
continues to deepen. The satchel
containing his surgical instruments
was discovered in the waiting room
at the union station in Burlington
where he had left it upon his arrival
there on the night of the 25th. He
was last seen there at half past 10
o'clock that night in conversation
with one of the local physicians, one
half hour before the time for the
train he was to take for Fairfield.
He seemed to be in good spirits, but
since that time he has disappeared
as completely as though the arth had
opened and swallowed him.

RUsslA's POSITION HOPELESS.
Her Chinese Eastern Railway Falls
To Become Payinu Venture.

Picking, Dec. 31.-Ivan Shipoff,
agent of the Russian finance minis
try, has concluded three months
investigation of the serious problems
which confront the Chinese eastern
railway and as result he has recon-
mended that expenditures be reduced
in every direction possible.
This action is construed here as
reflection of the hopelessness of Rus
sia's position in Manchuria. The rail
road was isolated during the Russo
Japanese war and Japan's policy
since then has practically estranged
it. 1t is believed that the deficit of
the Chinese eastern railway for 1908
will amount to $15,000,OO0 Traffic

The amendment for four battleshipi
was introduced by Senator Piles ant
the fight for It's adoption was leo
by Senator Beveridge. Twenty-thre'
votes were cast for the increased pro
gram the number largely being made
up Of recently elected senators. Fifty
senators voted to support the house
and the recommendation Of the senate
naval committee in favor Of building
only two battleships.
The debate on the battleship amend
ment lasted three days to the exclu
sion OF all other matters. It was be
gun by Senator Beveridge with an eio
quent appeal for the support Of the
president and suggestion that the
larger navy might be needed for war
Members Of the committee upbraided
the Indiana senator for this yelled
hint of war with another country and
sought to make him admit that he
meant Japan. At times the discus
sion came near becoming acrimonious,
especially sharp exchanges occurring
between Senators Aldrich and Bever.
idge. The formers reference to Mr..
BeverIdge excited Senator Smith Of
Michigan to protest against the senate
chamber, being made "a slaughter

diana"
It was developed by Senator Allison
during the debate that there is we'll
defined understanding among the SEN
ate leaders fer the authorization Of
two battleships each year until the
American navy is regarded as sum
cient to meet any demands that may
be made upon It.
As finally passed, the bill carries
appropriations aggregating $12S,115,,
$50 and provides for the construction
Of two battIeships and two golfers and
the purchase Of three additional col
Hers, the construction Of submarines
and other necessary craft, and In

and the strength Of the marine corps.
