! l.. K. Radermacher 5 skull is in the
possession of a person whom Deputy
Sheriff Rose will endeayor to locate.
The Deputy was told day or two
ago that the skull had been picked up
by some one, who had found it near
the place where the remainder of the
body was discovered
The Juvenile Bill.
Members of the police force were
somewhat concerned when they began
reading the Juvenile Delinquent Act
which was signed by Governor Frear
on March Is and became law on that
day. The more they read the more
they were convinced that their share
IN the penalties attached to the act
may prove large For instance the law
prohibits any child under fourteen
years of age from being confined in
any part of a station house or Jail
either before, during or after trial, but
he must be given over to the care of
probation officer or suitable person
and detained by the latter. Fred Weed
is probation officer and he wonders
whether when judge turns a Juvenile
over to him, he must keep him at his
home, feed him and generally keep
guard over him until he is brought be-
fore the Circuit Judge, who holds court
for juveniles in the first instance.
There is no provision made for com
pensation for feeding such deinquents.
Then again no juvenile must be trans
ported with adult prisoners in the same
vehicle Chief of Detectives Kalakiela
wonders what will occur In the case
of an adult and a juvenile being ar,
rested, say for burglary, and how a
police officer should dispose of his pIis-
oners after he had captured them. I'm
der the reading of the act he could
call the patrol wagon and send the
adult prisoner in that but the juvenile
he would have to send in hack to
the station. 1t would also appear from
a cursory reading of the act that the
adult would be tried before the dis
trict magistrate, but the juvenile in
the same case would have to be taken
before a Circuit Judge. A juvenile
under eighteen years of age may not
be confined in the same cell or section
of a station with an adult.
As the act is now a law the police
officers will be rather ehary in THEN
treatment of juveniles and the depart
ment may ask the County Attorney for
some light on the subject.

HOW SHE CATCHES BURGLARS.
Just Punch Them and Shout, Says
Champion of Thief -TaG<er.

New York, Aug. 14.-Mrs. Freda
Jacobs, who has caught more burglars
than any other woman on record in
New York, yesterday explained TO
Magistrate Cornell her methods of
taking prisoners.
Mrs. Jacobs said: st have caught
four of them in the last three weeks
and have caught each of them in the
same way. To begin with, a burglar
is more frightened than the people
whose property he Is stealing. The
owners of the property may forget
this, but / always remember 1t.
80, whenever see burglar in the
house / shout at him and startle him.
Then I run after him. / keep running
till catch him, and when catch him
I keep punching him till policeman
comes. There is something about a
burglars life that makes his nerves
unsteady.
HE can't stand to be shouted at
and once he is thrown off his mental
balance, so to speak, he loses his cour-
age and he can't run fast"
Charles Boyer was Mrs, Jasobs' lat
est prisoner. He was held in $1,000
bail.

SAVE SMALL SUMS.

The wise penny becomes the potent
dollar. This fact should be impressed
on the young men-especiaIly at this
time of the year. The Forum does not
intend this as an advertisement for
the savings banks-but an ad for the
youth-who can put away a few fiIch-
ings from prodigalfty to his own ac-
count for future years and ultimate old
age. Youth is the sowing time and old
age is the occasion when men like to
do little harvesting.
Just about this time Of the year
when men are returning from vaca-
ton trips-are on the way-or contem-
plating these annual affairs-the ques-
ton of savings should be borne in mind.
1t may be difficult to harmonic ex-
cursion trips by rail or boat, cozy fish
ing hooks underneath the cooling
shades-or an outing with ones best
girl-with money saving. Some of the
youth won't give it even a moments
consideration. There are a few who
will be able to see it's advantages.
There are many opportunities for car
ing for the small savings. Try some
of them.

BRYAN WOULD BE CHAIRMAN.
Wants to Head National Democratic
Committee Next Time.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 14.-William J..
Bryan will be the next chairman Of
the democratic national committee as
well as senator from Nebraska, IL
present plans are carried out.
AS the present legislature is so
strongly democratic, the election of
Mr.. Bryan to the United States sem
ate is regarded as an easy feat, es-
pecially as the number of holdover
democrats will make 1t almost tmpos-
sible for the republicans to gain con-
troll next year.
Mr.. Bryan, however, may not find 1t
so easy to secure the national chair
manship as the plan involves the COM
plete reorganization OF the party along
progressive lines.
The fortunes OF no democratic can
didate for the presidency are linked
with the new progressive programme.
Although it frequently has been said
that Mr.. Bryan favors the nomination
of Governor Harmon of ohio, he will
hold himself aloof from interfering in
the preconvention race for president
Mr.. Bryan at present is deeply con-
cerned in the reorganization of the
party, especially in New York, Illi-
nois and other states where the or
ganization failed to show loyalty in the
last presidential campaign.

JANE ADDAMS.

Boston suffragettes are to the front
with the first presidential nomination
for the 1912 campaign. Jane Addams
OF Chicago is the lady named for the
high honor. Boston has done much for
liberty and her militant suffragettes
have chosen a name to conjure with
her; and all Of the big west has heard
or heard of this woman in millions
this fine, great-hearted, rare -souled
woman who has devoted a lifetime of
potent effort to the uplifting OF the
derelict-and the hope
less.
Miss Addams has been the Grace
Darling of the slums. Hull House she
has made an oasis for the unhappy.
To thousands of wretched and stricken
she has been a Samaritan bearing
healing balms and a binder up of
wounds.
The Boston suffragettes who raise
the slogan Jane Adams for Presi-
dent of the United States" might go
much farther and fare far worse-but
Miss Addams herself will be the first
to say them nay-to refuse the crown.
She isn't framed for vainglory. Her life
views are as unselfsh as her life work
has been unostentatious. The approval
this nobIest among women seeks is
that of her conscience-and the salts
faction most dear to her is the saliva
tions wrought out through the work to
which she has devoted-her life, her
fortune and her inspiring gifts.

AN EXPERT IN LIGHTNING.

1t Is the opinion of Professor Henry
OF the government weather bureau that
more attention should be given to the
subject OF protection from lightning
in view of the fact that from 700 to
500 people are killed-twice as many
injured-and an immense amount Of
property destroyed by lightning every
year. a."
Professor Henry has recently pre-
pared a paper on this subject and it
has been published by the department
of agriculture. In explaining what
lightning is, and how to prevent build
ings from being struck--he gives an
instructive elementary discussion of
electricity, conductors and non-con-
ductors positive and negative electri-
fication and electricity in thunder
storms.
1t is the practical part of this paper,
however, which will appeal most
strongly to the farmers of the country.

SECRET FREIGHT RATES.

A. B. Stickney-for many years
president of the Chicago Great West
ern railway-was quoted about a
month ago as saying at Seattle that
railroads were still giving secret rates
and granting indirect rebates to favor
ed shippers
Chairman Knapp Of the Interstate
Commerce commission, wrote asking
him to state any facts in his posses
sion which supported this charge. A
part Of his reply has just been pub
lished. In this he says that he believes
the commissioner is correct in suppos-
ing that secret rates to favored ship
pers as formerly practiced'' have prac-
tically disappeared. but he alleges that
it is only the former method" that has
disappeared. Now, he says, many
rates which are concealed in the ver-
biage of the 500 or 900 tariffs which
are fled with you daily are really more
secret than the former secret rates,
although they may be technically pub
lished."

HARVEST IS RUSHING.

Colonel Grasse appears to have been
doing his best to stand off the elements
to avoid further damage to the ripen-
ing crops.
Despite the fact the weather has by
no means been ideal there has been
great progress made in cutting the
grain. The prospective yields are Of
a most encouraging nature and II the
clouds will just roll by for a brief
period the bulk OF the grain will soon
be in the shock.
Reports from the threshing machines
in the southern part of the state indi-
cate that the yields of barley and oats
have been even larger than anticipated.
Winter wheat has also turned out a
large crop and is being threshed for
seeding during this month.

THE SENSE OF HUMoR.

If you haven't the sense of humor
you are a miserable creature-accord-
ing to the sound and serious philosophy
of The Albany Journal editor, who has
evidently bumped up against all
kinds of temperaments. Nobody will
care to dispute the observations of
that sage, who argues in an editorial
aptly designed for warm weather read
ing-that well developed sense OF hu-
NOR is a blessing to it's possessor
1t lightens the burden of his cares,
it enables him to pass cheerfully
through life's minor tribulations and
to endure with equanimity the more
serious troubles, as long as they fall
short of being absolute misfortune.
He that lacks this sense misses much
OF the enjoyment of life, even it's lesser
troubles weigh doubly upon him, and
: it's severer trials dishearten him COM
pletely.
The element OF humor is present in
nearly all events and incidents that
are not absolutely tragic. Americans,
as a rule, are able to perceive and
enjoy it even when 1t is not conspicu-
ousIy in evidence. Possession of this
perceptive faculty accounts largely for
the buoyancy Of the American spirit,
which never yet has failed to rise sup
erior to adversely He that can see
something to smile at when prevailing
conditions are conducive to depression
of spirit has at once great advantage
over those to whom everything seems
to present only its serious aspect.
1t was the keen and ever active
sense OF huKnor OF Abraham Lincoln
that went far toward enabling him to
bear UP under the burden of the cares
and responsibilities OF the crucial time
whose central figure he was; which
did much to keep his judgment clear
and his mental faculties acute to solve
the dificult problems that came before
him.
But even among Americans there are
some who are unfortunately incapable
Of perceiying the humor Of anything.
