commit suicide, and a confess
sion that he was the man that
killed Peterson and then sold
the property to a man unknown
to him. Olson states that he
met the man on the road and
then and there purchased the
outfit as it was just what he
needed to do the work with on
his Claim, which he had just
taken up that spring.
He states that he was Slight.
ly suspicious of the man, but
that he told straightforward
story about the ownership of
the team and finally sold them
for $40. This was not such a
small price then, as the horses
were in poor condition and
horses were not bring much in
the market at that time.
He states that he was ac-
quainted with Peterson but
that he had never had any
trouble with him, and he stated
to the reporter with tears in his
eyes, that his history could be
traced from the cradle and it
would be found that he he'd
never had fight in Ills life or
even serious disagreement
with any of his fellow men. He
thinks there we're people in
McHenry county who were
anxious to get rid of him and
that he was railroaded to the
penitentiary.
When asked if he had any,
thing to say 10 the press he
was not used to saying much,
but that he was innocent and
that he would appreciate any
thing that could be done to get
him out of the pen and that he
was entirely innocent of any
completely in the crime with
which he was charged.
He told with tears in his ewes
of how his Imprisonment was
wearing on him and stated that
at times he was afraid he was
going to lose his mind, but now
a ray Of hope has come he
would take on renewed courage.
He says that he had wife and
two children, but that they had
not come to his claim to live as
he had not proper quarters fix.

the note which seemingly ex-
honorates Olson from all con.

suggested sea ching the river

 Jacob Shapiro of 250 North Wash ington avenue and Julius Platt of 36O Nichols street, victims of the high waymen, told the police yesterday. they believed one of the twain who held them up rwas Joe VireIli, for merly a bootblack at Willard and Pembroke streets, living at 25 Shar- man street.
 Frank VireIli, a brother, was ar rested on suspicion yesterday, and discharged. Learning that two men corresponding to the description of Virelli and his companion were seen tr9mpinE towards Derby yesterday, the police last night asked the au- thorities up the river to watch out for them.
 This noon came the welcome tele- phone message that the suspects were under arrest and that the Shelton police were convinced that they were the men wanted. So this afternoon Cronan went after the pair.
 Shapiro was robbed of $40, while Platt, taking to his heels, escaped In to dwelling.

Chicago, Oct. 25-'Lovey'' Cecil Lean and s'Dovey'' Florence Holbrook have separated. After eight years of showing the public how to make love, while the busy press agent was spreading the information that it was not acting, but the real thing, that they liked it, and even did it when they had no audience, they have agreed to violate their. inviolable agreement to stick together in spite of anything"
 Although both of them have had many temptations to break their agreement. they stuck until Saturday night. Then MT. Lean, who is jealous, moved away from the apartments of Mrs. Lean. She is on the fourth and he on the thirteenth floor of the Blackstone. They will eonkinue to act tOgether.

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS GO.
''DRUNK" TACKLES COP BY MISTAKE;
 REGRETS IT NOW

Little did Charles E. Rogers know the hornets nest he was stirring up when in a drunken sort of way he walked up to Patrolnan Ed Mccarthy who was standing in citizens clothes at Broad and John streets last even ing. and demanded the price of a drink.
 Rogers is a fireman, and when he is sober, is regarded as a fairly indus trious man. His permanent address is a lodging house at 559 Water street. Mccarthy advised Rogers to go home and sleep off his jag, whereat Rogers took violent offence and threatened to beat Mccarthy. Mccarthy disclosed his identity as a policeman and again told Rogers to go home
 T don't care if you're half a dozen policemen shouted Rogers, attract ing a number of pedestrians and squar- ing off at Mccarthy. Then Mccarthy just had to arrest him. A couple of hundred pedestrians had gathered when the patrol wagon arrived with a half dozen cops. Patrolmen Greg ory, Larkin, Ladd and others were the pail bearers for Rogers who proved himself a most lively corpse.
 Breach of the. peace. drunkenne ess. re- sistance to an officer and vagrancy were the charges against Rogers, and today Judge Wilder sentenced him to GO days in jail and imposed fines az gregating $75 and costs.

LICENSE VOTE NOT COMING UP
 THIS ELECTION

It was learned today that the No License committee has not a suffi- cient number of names to have the license question submitted to th@ Eot- CTS at the next election. The City Attorney has been asked for an opin- ion concerning which voting list that shall be used in reckoning the ten per cent ratio that is required to have the vote submitted to the peo- pie. The law states that the petition containing ten per cen of the names on the voting list shall be filed with the town clerk twenty days before election. The Town clerk has asked the City Attorney for an opinion as to which list to reckon with, that of last year which was the only list in existence when the petition was cir culated. or the list now being prepar- ed by the registrars. It is learned today on good authority that no mat ter which way the City Attorney de- cides. the no-1icense petition does not bear ten per cent of the names on either list. Many names were re- moved from the petition because they were minors who had not yet become electors. It is evident that those in favor of a dry city will not have a chance to disapprove of the existing conditions at the next election.

Nice suit IS good
 purchase.

It is really a wise thing to buy a nice suit.
 There is the satisfaction that comes from owning and wearing something that is really nice.
 There is the knowledge of correct fabric and careful making and tasteful trim ming.
 There is service that is long and good; fine suit is something that one does not tire of.
 The stores assembly at $25 to $35 can rightly be classed as fine.
 It includes suits in the rich-looking fabrics that this season finds in greatest de- mand.
 It presents the styles that are correct and pretty and that appeal to ones love of grace and beauty.
 Yes: handsime fancy fab rics as well as rich plain col ors.
 To slip into one, is really the one way to know their goodness, to see their beau ty. to appreciate the expert tailoring that has been put into them. Choose time that best suits you: we shall bo at your cheerful service.

 REDUCED RATES

Washington. Oct 25-After fight of two years, western railroads today find a schedule of reduced rates on fre1gnt issippi and Missouri river cities, to take effect tomorrow and remain effec- tive until November 10-just 15 days.
 The railroads fought through the courts, the final decision by the In ter-State Commerce Commission being handed down a. few days ago. The beyond which the commission may not prescribe rates, had expired before the decision. It was announced last week that all had expired but it was dis covered that one of them. one of IS days, remained, and during that time the shippers will have the benefit of the order.
 The commission is of the opinion however, that the railroads will be in a hurry to raise the rates again.
