Now Captured in Los
Angeles.

pert, is a prisoner in an apartment
house in Los Angeles, while a sheriff
from Illinois, or detective of his
choosing, stands guard over her, ac-
cording to the Los Angeles Examiner.
The affinity with whom she ran
away from home and friends, was ar
rested two weeks ago in a little North
Dakota town and is already in the Du
Page county, Illinois, Jail, the Exam
liner says
Mrs. Ropars is the wife of Louis j.
Ropars, a wealthy merchant and stock
dealer and cattle raiser of Eola, III.
She was married nearly 10 years ago
and two children were born to the cou-
pie, boy, now years of age, who was
left with his father at the time of the
elopement, and Willie, then nearly 4
years of age.
Wilbur r. Rupert is married man
and is the father of boy now years
Of age. He was a business associate
ana friend of Ropars, and had known
the wife of his friend ever since as
Florence MSQuillan, she was the belle
Of Du Page county.
Draws S9I75 From, Bank.
September Z, 1909, a rally and county
fair was held at Wheaton, Ill. the
county seat Of Du Page county, and
Mrs. Ropars and Rupert both left their
homes on an excursion train to attend
the fair Instead, as it is now charged,
they had prearranged to go to Aurora
the banking town of Eola, and there
Mrs Ropars presented checks at the
counter of the Aurora National bank, to
which 1t is alleged sh cor Rupert had
forged the name of her husband, and
drew from the bank s9175 in gold, cur
rency and silver. They then disap-
peared from Aurora and for weeks no
trace of them was found.
Louis ]. RoparS went before the
grand jury of mis- county and indicted
his wife and Rupert for conspiracy to
rob and grand larceny. While the war
rant on which Mrs. Ropars was ar
rested charges her only with the theft
of $3.50, the indictment returned against
her and Rupert specifies the various
amounts of the different denominations
OF money received from the bank by
them, and in various counts charges them
with making away with nearly $4,000.
From Aurora the couple were traced

northwest territory and from there to
Winnipeg, Manitoba Straight south
from the Canadian border they made
their way by Omaha, Kansas City and

Three months ago Rupert and Mrs.
ROpars arrived in Los Angeles and took
modest apartments at 377 West Fourth
street They remained there but n few
days and then moved into a handsome
little bungalow at 45th street and Cen
trail avenue. But in the meanwhile the
news was sent out from Bismarck, n.
D., that Mrs Rupert, the mother of
Wilbur r. Rupert, was lying at the
point of death and calling constantly
for the presence of her favorite son.

AS Rupert stepped from the train in
Bismarck he was arrested by a deputy

A manufacturer has appealed to
the University of Idaho for quali-
fed machinists from the mechanical
department, and arrangements are
being made to train such men and
supply them. That such depart
ment exists is proof of the progress
of education, and that this iustitu-
ton takes the steps noted is a
credit to its management. Appren-
tees to any trade are almost a thing
of the past, while the new dignity
now seen in the calling of the
artisan as compared with the once
so-called Learned professions" may
soon give to the world practical

In the course of his work at the
convention OF governors in WASH
ington recently, Governor Brady
made a suggestion regarding the
conservation question which is
worthy of more than passing note.
The governor said that while the
west generally favors the conserva-
ton policies the people believe that
the states in which the federal re-
sources are conserved should receive
the bulk of the proceeds from such
resources. Under present .condi-
tons the state OF Idaho receives a
percentage of the proceeds Of the
forest reserves in the way OF con-
tributions to the school fund, but
Governor Brady's view is that the
state should receive all the proceeds
less the cost Of administration.
There is justice in the plea. The
eastern states have been upbuilt by
the free EXPEDITION of their resour-
ces and have little or no public
domain or national reserves left to
be conserved. In the Pacific states.
however, the condition is the re-
verse. These states have enormous
resources undeveloped, and if these
are to be withheld from exploitation
or so hampered by restrictions that
the average capitalist does not care
to handle them, there is danger that
development will be delayed and
restricted. If, however, the con-
sentative policy is to endure. and
the present indications are that the
majority Of the people favor it,
then Governor Brady's plea that
the state should receive the bulk Of
the comparatively small proceeds
derived from these resources opera
ted under federal control, will
commend itself to the people OF the
west.-Lewiston Teller.
