Skinny Crank Williams, de-
mented individual who imagines that
a gang of men is after him all the
time with revolvers and ammunition
enough to supply an arsenal for a
month, was taken in charge this morn
ing by Deputy Sheriff j. ]. Crimmins,
who drove to the Henke farm near
the second lock and brought Williams
back to jail in buggy.
Williams, who Is former Keokuk
man, had taken possession of barn
on the Henke place and had all the
neighbors in the vicinity half scared
to death by his actions and prepos-
sessing manner The man imagined
that some one is after him and when
Sheriff Crimmins arrived at the barn
where he was and saw him crawl out,
Williams told the sheriff that his life
had been saved by the coming of that
officer as six men were after him and
wanted to take his life
When taken in charge this morning
at o'clock Williams made no resist
ance and came to town in a pacific
frame of mind

few If any social accomplishments

been elected superintendent of Chica-
COS public schools, a position of inn
mense responsibility with a salary of
$4,000, eargerly sought by educators
and financiers the country over And
now she has been made president of
the nations association of teachers
Both men and women wonder how
she attained her present position, the
highest probably for woman in the
world. Not by any political pull, the
favoritism of kings and emperors or
the magic spell of beauty and fascina-
ton but by sheer energy, enterprise,
common sense, progressive ideas and
the courage of her convictions. Be-
ginning her career as a teacher when
young girl with but the most ordi-
nary equipment she put herself hear
tily into her work, was quick of per-
ception, ready to act and not afraid
to urge the adoption and assume the
responsibility of her plans and pur-
poses. She is surely an inspiration to
other women both young and old in
showing what can be accomplished
by just a mere woman.

Williams parents are dead and he
has no living relatives except a sister,
who is in Canada. He will likely be
taken before the insane commission
and later committed to the state hos

The winter home of the American

the snow begins to fly the leader of
the herd guides them to some shell

full
Here as the snow falls they pack
1t down, tramping out considerable
space, while about them the snow
mounts higher and higher until they
cannot get gut If they would. From the
main opening, or yard" as it is
called, tramped out paths lead to. the
nearby trees and shrubbery which
supply them with food In this way
they manage to pass the winter in
comparative peace and safety.-St.

Happiness and Sorrow.

In happiness there are far more re-

fortune. The voice of misfortune is
ever the same; happiness becomes
the more silent as it penetrates deep

understands his happiness; for he is
of all men most fully aware that it is
only the lofty idea, the untiring,
courageous, human idea, that separates
gladness from sorrow.-Maeterlinc

Has Served before.

Harry Martin, the man captured
here last evening, is wanted in Los
Angeles for check forgery the third
or fourth day of June. Martin stayed
in California until the ninth of June
when he came to this state and has
probably been in the city for a week
or two
The police Identification slip mailed
Sheriff Crimmins shows that Martin
was arrested March Is, 1906, at Los
Angeles and has served one or more
terms in the state penitentiary at San
Quentin, Cal.
He was identified at the police sta.
ton after arrest by the following de-
scription: Il. L. chain and an
Choir on back of left hand Pick. spade
and letters O. U. A. R. on right hand.
Two irregular scars on back of right
hand near base Of index finger. Back
of skull uneven Mole on right side of
neck Weight $50 pounds. Height 8
feet ~ inches.
Martin has consented to go back
west without requisition papers, but it
is likely that Sheriff Galloway will
not take the chances and will come
here for his man, armed with the
papers.

Every SO often, boys that are worse

thrust themselves in the way OF the
police for some misdeed or other that
cause the officers as much worry and
trouble as a hardened criminal.

age Of fourteen and fifteen years,

shortly after three o'clock on Sunday
afternoon by Deputy Marshal Pearson
and officer Fuqua, the trio of urchins

Oficers Pearson and Fuqua mounted
their wheels and made detour of
the north sidesof the city around the
boulevard and intersecting roads
after the custodian at the golf grounds
had phoned TIE police that the Coun-
try club house had been broken into
and a number of articles taken. At
the George Riley property on Tenth

toward the police station. Wilson
tore the screen off the club house and

things out through the window.

The body of James Lagrange, the
man who was drowned from the
steamer Helen Blair has been recov-
cred. 1t was founl by a fisherman,
lodged in some driftwood and taken
by him to the shore. The four broth
ers of the dead man identified the
body by tattoo mark on the right
arm and scar on the left foot.
The brothers have another theory
as to the cause of LaGrange's DEATH
They are not of the opinion that he
committed suicide. They state that he
was sleep walker and on several oc-
casions has been injured while walk
ing in his sleep. They claim that
about year ago he walked out of a
second story window in boarding
house in Des Moines and broke his
right arm. 1t is their opinion that he
was simply walking in his sleep when
he went to the side of the boat and
dropped off into the river

When the police found the two col
ored boys and Johnnie Drew, the
white lad yesterday afternoon, they
we're in the stolen tent at the lime
kiln. Mrs. Wyand had notified the
officers previously that she was un-
easy about the presence of the tent
and an investigation disclosed the
three young pilferers taking life easy
in the camp they had established on
the edge of the city.
At the police station they told a
straightforward story On Friday night
about eight O'Clock they had come to-
gether at some point and framed up
the robbery at the ball park. They
went to the stand and pried the iron
bar off the door but found only the
peanuts. Ave packages, which they
took. Two of the boys, Drew and
Wilson, slept under the bandstand in
Rand park all night and early next
morning went to the Riley home on
Franklin street and added the tent to
their stealings.

The steamer Sidney of the Dia-
mond 10 line met with an accident
that might have proved serious but
for the slow headway the boat was
making. The big boat run onto a snag
on her trip down, near Burlington
and punched several holes in the hull.
She was promptly stopped and the
damage repaired as much as possible
and the trip to Keokuk continued.
The boat arrived in her crippled con-
dition at the local wharf about five
O'Clock this morning and transferred
her freight and passengers onto the
Dubuque. The Dubuque was on her
regular Sunday trip down and was
not very heavily loaded with passen-
gers or freight and the added lists
were handled very easily.
After the transfer of freight and
passengers to the Dubuque the Sid
ney returned to the dry dock at the
second lock where she will be dock
ed today and the damage repaired.
Officials at the locks this morning
stated that they could probably have
the big steamer in the water and run
ming again in couple of days.

ago the trip of the Sidney has been
limited to Davenport and making
only one trip week. This schedule
will be followed as long as the river
remains at such low level. The Sid
new was unable to keep within for

The steamer Columbia was down
from Burlington yesterday afternoon
with an excursion She struck sand
bar near Ft. Madison and was some
little time pulling herself off. She ar
rived at the local wharf about five
o'clock and spent one hour here be-
fore starting on her return trip.
The Columbia seems to be travel
ing in a sea of shoals. Last Friday
she struck a bar near Oquawka and
spent the night on 1t. The Helen Blair
on her trip down tried to asStst her
sister boat but was unable to move
her so proceeded to Burlington for
heavier cable. She returned to the
stranded steamer and instead of pull
ing the Columbia off she pulled her
self onto the bar. A row boat was
sent to the shore and telegram sent
to Burlington for help. The H. w. y.
was sent to the two boats assistance
and succeeded in pulling both boats
back into deep water.

PETITION FOR GRAND JURY
Petitions Are Being Circulated Ask
ing Superior Court Judges TO
Call Grand jury

The action Of the Aberdeen mass
meeting held under the auspices Of
the Aberdeen Civic Association last
week, has led 70 the circulation Of
petitions addressed 70 the judges Of
the superior court and county attor-
ney, asking that grand jury De call
ed at the earliest possible date.
The petitions have been circulat-
ed among the businessmen ri Aber-
deem, Montesano and Elma, and have
received the cordial approval Of al
most every man approached. In ord
CT 70 have the grand jury meet next
month, il must be drawn next Satur-
day, 90 that the time for circulating
tho petitions was very limited, as
they will be sent 70 Judge Shocks
this evening in order that the sub
iect may be considered tomorrow.
The petitions will be signed by
more than 500 substantial taxpayers
Of the country, and will doubtless re-
ceiye proper consideration. 1t is said
that Judge Sheeks and County At
torney Campbell have expressed
willingness TO hold grand jury SEES
sion, but Judge Irwin is thought to
oppose II, the idea probably growing
OUT OF LNe IdtL LlIdL III ISdi ~ N"Ch'y
years on the bench Of this county he
has never saw fit 10 call such jury.
The general opinion, gathered from
the circulation Of the petitions, Is
that grand jury investigation would
be well worth the cost il it failed to
return an indictment, by clearing up
the multitude OF runOrs Of wrong
doing that fill the air. But, the pub
lie temper will scarcely be satisfied
with a superficial investigation oil
them. Much will of course depend on
the makeup OF the jury, and more up
on the prosecuting attorney and the
support given that official by the
county authorities. Every person
against whom false rumOr is cur.
rent should be anxious for this inves'
tigation, and those against whom the
truth Ia told should be thoroughly
prObed.
