Burlington, Ia, July 2S.-Rev. Faith
er Bernard MaCkin, pastor of St.Pauls
Catholic church in this city, passed
away this morning. He had been in
i'll health for the past two years and
had only recently returned from a
visit to Carlsbad, Germany, where he
had been sent by his physicians in
the hope that the waters of the fam
Gus springs would prove beneficial to
him. The strain of the voyage, how
ever, proved too great for his already
weakened constitution and since his
return he steadily declined until the
end.
Father Mackin came to Burlington
in August, 1892, and during his pas
iOrate accomplished wonders in build
ing up the parish both in a temporal
and spiritual way. He erected a fine
new $4,000 church and $4,000 par
5onagc, in addition to securing num-
.erOus other improvements aggregat-
ing in the whole $4,000, on which a
small deot still remains. He was in
INi4oS'y ny 81 " iDhi I'M , IOI anu wa
admired and liked by all creeds and
classes. He was Outspoken in his
sentiments, liberal and charitable in
his views. No minister of any denom-
nation achieved such popularity in
Burlington and his death is mourned
in all circles.
He was one of the earliest members
of the Knights of Columbus in the
state of Iowa, serving as state chap.
lain for several years. He was also
a member of the board of directors of
the Roman Catholic Church Exten-
sion society OF America, and his eff
forts were largely instrumental in
building up this organization. He
was intensely patriotic and priced his
American citizenship above all things.
An illustration of his patriotism was
afforded when the SpaniSh-American
war broke out. Burlington was not
a member. of the Iowa National Guard
at the time, but company was or
ganized by Capt. Frank S, Long, then
a reporter on a local newspaper, now

Government Agents on Trail of
Upton Abseonder.
HIS LOOT EXCEEDS 100000
National Bank Examiner Weir Takes
Charge Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
Refugee Leaves for Indian
apoIis, Says Report.

Tfpton, Ind, July 2S.-Secret serv-
ice agents have taken up the search
for Noah r. Marker, absconding as
sistant cashier of the First National
bank whose shortage, it is now be-
lieved will be more than 100000.
The United States authorities be-
gan their inquiry when Clarence Mich
OILS, assistant United States district at
torney, made a preliminary investiga.
tion.
Don't Know Exact Shortage.
The officials of the bank say they
have no further information as to the
extent of the shortage, but they had
reason to believe il would not far ex-
coed 100000. However, they said
they must rely on the treasury depart
ment examiner to discover the amount
of the loss.
Miller Weir, national bank exam
liner at large, took charge of the bank
last evening and began work on the
books to-day. Lew Shirk, president
of the bank, has gone to his home
at Peru, Ind. He is president of the
First National bank of Peru.
The cashier OF the Upton bank,
William H. Marker, brother of Noah
Marker, left last evening for In
dianapolis to visit his parents, say
ing he would return to-day. ..
One Of the new developments was
the statements that Marker, within the
last month, had insured his life for
100000.
Many Upton county farmers hurried
to the city and Joined the crowd of
people in front of the closed doors of
the bank, where a placard hangs stat
ing the situation. Much excitement
prevailed among the farmers as they
stood discussing the affair.
Might Have Obtained Money.
The surprising thing to the citizens
of Upton is that the bank was al
lowed to close its doors. The Shirks,
who are at the head of the institution,
are wealthy. They have another bank
at Peru, and it would not have been
difficult matter, it is said, to have
obtained money to replace that taken
by Marker. Besides, business men as
sert, any one of the neighboring banks
could have loaned the money to tide
the bank over until a supply of cur
rency was received.
A notice was posted on the door of
the bank that any person who made
deposits Monday morning before the
bank closed could have the money re-
turned to them by applying to the
Shortle department store.
Depositors Are Greatly Excited.
Incidentally, George Shortle is the
son-in-law of Mrs. E. H. Shirk, the
widow of the founder Of the bank.
The closing of the bank has been the
cause Of all kinds of rumors and the
depositors were much alarmed from
the first, although assurances were
given them that the affairs were in
such state that no persons would lose
anything.
The friends of Marker declare that
the mans mind was unbalanced when
he took the cash from the bank last
Saturday night. They insist that he
was worried over the fact that he
had neglected to protect the bank
in permitting bonds in the sum of
$4,000 to get away from the bank
without security for them.

He was born at independence, Iowa

his primary education. Afterwards
he studied at st. Joseph's college,
Dubuque, and st. Ambrose college,
Davenport, and finally received his
theological education at st. Mary's

timore he returned home in February,
1887, and shortly afterwards was or.
dained to the priesthood and received
! the appointment of assistant clergy
man to the cathedral at Davenport,
where he remained two years. He
was then transferred to st. Ambrose
church in Des Moines as assistant to
Father Flavin, where he served two
years, and had charge of various ex.
tensive improvements OF the church
property. 1t was this experience and
also experience of a similar character
gained at Davenport that gained for
him his reputation as a builder. He

Oskaloosa Country Club house the

he crime that they skipped out Sun
lay and have not been seen since. It
s only question of time until they
ire caught and prosecuted. AS the.
crime occurred out of town and as
he officer was not an eye witness 1t
was necessary to have a warrant is
sued for their arrest. This necessi.
tated calling a meeting of the club
directors, and one member was dcs-
grated to file the information. The
consequent delay gave the guilty par.
ties time to get away and they went.
The first arrest under the ordinance
passed by the Oskaloosa city council
one week ago limiting the speed of
automobiles on the streets of Oska-
loosa to ten miles an hour, was made
Tuesday afternoon. The violator OF
the ordinance was w. H. Fowler of
Pella, who was taken in custody by
officer George Andrews. Fowler
when arraigned before Mayor Bacon
pleaded guilty, but gave his reason for
going at such high speed was that he
wanted to meet a train. As Mr. Fowl
er was stranger in the city and it
being his first offense, Mayor Bacon
ct him off easily by the payment OF
one dollar and costs amounting to
three dollars and eighty-five cents.
