GREAT SYLVIA
is IN JAIL
The Hypnotist and Mind Reader is
Awaiting the Action Of the
Galesburg Grand Jury.

The Great Sylvia who appeared in
Keokuk recently, is now working on
great problem in hoodooism, viz,
how to get out of Jail. He is locked
up at Galesburg, the following from
a Galesburg paper, telling about it:
Richard Wainwright, who on the
stage is known as Prof Silvia, drove
through the streets of the city few
days ago and located an article that
had been hidden by committee. He
also gave performance at the Audi
forum on Thursday evening, in which
he appeared as a hypnotist. Now he
is a prisoner in the Knox county jail
on the very ordinary charge of beat
ing hotel bill,
Wainwright came to Galesburg two
weeks ago and worked up the per-
Torrance. 1t is charged that he had a
number of young men who appeared
on the stage on Thursday evenings
come to his rooms at the hotel and
rehearse the farce that was given as
hypnotic entertainment. He stopped
at the Hotel Annex until his bill
amounted to SIG and then left.
The professor is said to be a
sleight of hand performer and it was
by means of this art, 1t is alleged,
that he lodged the hotel proprietor
and carried his suit cases down the
back stairway and left the hotel. The
next heard of him he was at the I'm
ion hotel
Saturday he was taken into the
court of Justice Hamilton and placed
under $500 to await the action of the
grand jury.
1t appears that while he was locat-
ing hidden articles and driving blind
folded through the streets, he failed
to find any money with which to pay
his bills and what he did get was
spent in other ways.
Wainwright may be charged with
more serious offenses before he gets
through with the case, too. 1t is
charged against him that he induced
girl not yet 16 years OF age OF this
CITY to give up her position and go
with him, and that she has been stay
ing with him since and that he has
passed her off as his wife.
It is further alleged that the WON
an he introduced as the great mind
reader was Galesburg girl whom
he induced to take up with MN.
! Reports have been received from
people who have known him for some
time md it is said that he bears a
bad reputation. The police VIII In.
vestigate his acts in Galesburg, and
| If there be anything wrong ne VIII
be prosecuted to the full extent OF
| the ]2w.

charge of idling, under the name of
Willie Winters. Sunday while she
was being held in the follower, AS
sistant Chief of Detectives Mccarthy,
became suspicious and sent her to the
dispensary. There her sex was dis
covered, and she was removed to the
matron's room, where sae was re-
quired to don woman's clothing and
give up cigarettes and tobacco chew
ing. She said she was not very fond
of tobacco, but resorted to its use,
thinking it would help her in her dis
guise.
Her chief concern in being found
out, she said, was to know what a
young woman living in South ST. Louis
who is forewoman in an overall fac
tory. with whom she has been keep
ing company for the last year, will
think and say when she learns of the
deception practiced on her, Miss Win

,esults Last Evening

The Keokuk Club bowling team gave
another exhibition of it's skill last
evening in a match game against the
Drexel team which 1T defeated by a
score Of 2.507 to 2,167.
By the victory the Keokuk Club
team makes the pennant one notch
closer and it looks as If the Keol1uk
Club men will be able to carry off the
bunting with little difficulty.
While the Keokuk Club bowlers
were decidedly in form the Drexel men
were in opposite form. All three
games went to the club by big mar
gins.
E. W. Cox was the star OF the even
ing, although several other bowlers
come in for honors. He led with high
average of 1879, but a few pins from
the record of the season. Sheldon was
a close second with 1872, and Atwood
of the Drexel a close third with III.
Three games went over the 200 mark,
Sheldon going 201, Cox 200 and At
wood 213 This gave Atwood single
high game honor. Had he made a
good showing in his first game his av-
erage would have been much better

Earth is Frozen.

The ground is frozen beneath the

makes walking rather dangerous. 1t
makes a fine surface for sleighing

Early this morning, the members of
the Snow Shovelers Union were out
in force, seeking soft snaps in jobs Of
snow cleaning at about SO cents per
lot, or penny foot.
The good citizen either cleaned of
bis snow himself or hired some one to
get busy and make path, but many
people failed to do anything on this
important question and allowed the
other citizens to beat down the snow
With their foot prints.
The temperature has not been bad
during the snow storm, for the mer-
curry only went to 15 during last even
Ing and is rising nicely today, with
fair and warmer weather promised
for tomorrow.

BRYAN STATES HIS
POSITION CLEARLY.
HOPES NEVER TO RUN FOR
ANY OFFICE.
THINKS TARIFF MAIN ISSUE
Question Will Decide the Complexion
of the Next Congress and Cam
paign Issues in 1912.

Portland, Or, Oct. 12.-With the
quiet which becomes an orderly Sun
day night welcoming crowd, inter-
rupted only few times by applause,
VIM. J. Bryan, accompanied by Mrs.
Bryan, arrived in Portland at $50
o'clock Sunday night. He was greet
ed at the depot by delegation of
prominent Oregon Democrats and ain
audience of over 1000 persons, with
a majority of whom he shook hands
Il have said and repeat that while
| will not promise any one that L
never, under any circumstances, VIII
be candidate for Office again" said
Mr. Bryan, Il do not desire to be
candidate for office again and do not
expect to be a candidate for any Office
and hope that no conditions will arise
which will make it necessary for me
to consider the question again.
People differ in opinion as to what
question is of most Importance re-
piled Mr. Bryan, when asked what he
regarded the paramount issue before
| the American people. 81 think the
tariff question is the question which
is being most discussed. No one can
see very far into the future and it is
never safe to make predictions very
far ahead as to what issue whl be par
amount in succeeding campaign. At
the present time it looks as if the tar
iff question would have the most in
fluence in deciding the complexion OF
the next congress and the action OF
the next congress will largely deter
mine the issues in the campaign OF
1912"
At 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon
public reception was held, to which
the general public was invited. Mr..
Bryan left last night for Seattle
where today he gave an address IN
connection with the Bryan day ex-
ercises at the A.-Y-P. Exposition.

miles up and down the Kill in the re-
markable time of two hours The trip
satisfied the committee thoroughly, and
the boat was accepted.
The Clermont is big boat. There
is room for two to pass along the mar
rowest part Of her deck and for fully
fifty persons to stand upright in her
larger cabin aft. She is $50 feet long
and 1S feet wide, fat bottomed and
has two masts.
The boats boiler shows we'll above
her deck. One remarkable thing about
the engines is that in all the main
parts, except the transmission to the
paddle wheels, which is by large cog
wheels, is very similar indeed to the
engines still being used in river steam
ers. The walking beam is at the bot
tom instead of at the top.
When the new Clermont steams up
the Hudson the Rev. G. S. Bullock of
Stratford, Conn.,. will represent Robert
Fulton, and Ulster Davis. an old river
pilot, will be the captain of the boat.
Harriet Livingston. who sailed on the
first trip with the inventor. will be rep.
resented by Evelyn Bullock, and Chan.
cellor Robert r. Livingston, the hacker
| of Fulton, will be represented by his
| great-grandson, Robert r. Livingston
| Of Cheviot-on- Hudson.
