Committed to Industrial School

Harry Timmis youngest SON
of the widow Timmis, was COM
mitted to the State Industrial
School at Topeka by Probate
Judge Garrison last Thursday,
upon a conviction of stealing a
caddy Of tobacco from Fair s.
Trice's ware room. Willie Fro.
man was implicated in the theft
but was released on parole on
condition that he must report to
the juvenile court on the first Mon
day Of each month. If he becomes
involed in any unlawful act he will
also be committed. While it was
not proved that Willie committed
actual theft, he admitted that he
had guilty kno Wedge and made
suggestions as to how to proceed
in the stealing.
Harry took the tobacco out OF
the ware room in the morning and
hid it in the stairway hall behind
the door between the Fair and
Higgins buildings. He told sew
eral boys about it and promised
them some of the tobacco, explain
ing that he would get it in the
evening. In the meantime Wm.El-
liott who works for Fair 6, Trice,
missed the tobacco and put in
about three hours hunting for it
and finally located it. The store
force allowed it to remain there
and kept man on guard to catch
the thief. Harry appeared at 7:3o
and got the tobacco and MI. Elliott
captured him and took him to the
sheriff's office. A search developed
the fact that he had stolen other
small articles; among them was a
wrench stolen from Dwight Mills
and Plyers, knives, etc, unclaimed
at this time.
He told different stories as to
how he got these things and tried
to put the blame for stealing the
tobacco entirely on Willie Froman
but got badly mixed up and his
guilt was plain.
Harry is about twelve years old.
His mother is an invalid and is un-
able to look after him. A term
in the reform school may yet save
him
There was no doubt that he was
on the verge of leading younger
boys astray, as he did in the case
of the Froman boy, and it was for
tunate that he was taken into Gus
tody so soon.

To Read the Barometer.

From the Council Bluffs NOnparell.
Every farmer ought to have a ba-
fometer, and he should also regularly
get a copy Of the daily weather map
with all expedition possible. He might
then do a practical bit Of weather fore
casting on his own hook, and probably
find the result securely on the right side
Of the ledger. For instance, he might
know of the approaching storm in time
to get his hay in.
not be interpreted too literally, but
with reference to the prevailing winds,
each different wind having some pc
culiar rules, INC the wind rules of diff
ferent localities being different. For
this locality, the weather service lays
down these rules: When the wind
sets liz from points between south
southeast and the barometer falls
steadily a storm is approaching from
the west or northwest, M it's center
will pass near or north Of the observer
within IL to "a hours with wind shift
ing to northwest by way Of southwest
and west. When the wind sets in from
points between east and northeast and
the barometer falls steadily a storm is
approaching from the south or south
west, and it's center will pass near or
to the south or asst of the observer
| within 10 or "a hours with wind shifting
to northwest, by way of north. The
rapidity Of the storms approach and
it's intensity will be indicated by the
rate and the amount of the fall in the
barometer"
