is AN EXCELLENT PAPER
Dubuque Times-Journal Has Great
Organization of News CATERERS.


Organization of News CATERERS.
In this day of improved mail
facilities-free delivery in almost
every city where the streets are even
named and free delivery to almost
every farm house in the country by
means of the rural routes, it has made
the daily newspapers hustle to keep
abreast of the times In this hustle
and hustle there is no paper circulate
ing in this territory which has made
greater strides or which has kept
nearer abreast of the times than the
Dubuque Daily Times Journal.
The Times Journal Is published
both morning and evening, every
evening in the week except Sunday
and every morning except Monday,
the subscribers to the evening edition
receiving the Sunday morning edition.
The morning edition is better calculat-
ed for rural routes and most country
towns, though many towns with right
get the evening edition to advantage.
Both evening and morning editions
receive the full report of the Associat-
ed Press, the greatest news gathering
agency in the world, the agency used
by the leading papers of the entire
world.
In addition to the Associated Press
report the Time-Journal has the Iowa
Evening Press report, which comes
direct to its Office over special tele-
pone wire from all the leading cities
of the state, but one paper in each
town having the report, thus making
the. Times journal the only paper in
Dubuque with the report.
In addition to these organized press
reports the Times Journal has corps
of 200 or 800 special correspondents
scattered over northeastern Iowa,
southwestern Wisconsin and north
western Illinios, thus making it easily
the best daily newspaper for this ter
ritory obtainable.
Not content with putting out the
best daily newspaper, the publishers
have always managed to have some
novel, useful and valuable premium
for it's subscribers. It's latest hit in
this line is an electric alarm, light
and call clock. - This clock is
equipped with dry battery and ex-
tension cord and push button, the
batteries being obtainable in all stores
dealing in such articles. The alarm
is one that will ring continuously till
stopped. By using the cord and push
button the alarm becomes a call bell.
But probably >tne most novel and use
full feature of the clock is an electric
light just below and in front of the
face of the clock. By pushing the
button one can lie in bed the darkest
night and easily read the time.
The retail price of these clocks in
Chicago stores is S.. 90. The Times
Journal is using them as premiums, is
giving one of them with each sub
scription paid a year in advance, to
, either new or old ST oscrihers, the total
payment for both paper and clock
being only $3.50.

GRANT COUNTY COUPLE
ARRESTED IN TEXAS
Deputy Sheriff HarcIercad Did
Some Clever Sleuthing.
Returned Saturday With Leonard Scott
and Mrs. CaIkins, of Bagley,
Wanted for Adultery.

Undersheriff J. @. Harcleroad ar
rived home Sunday from Wichita
Falls, Texas. with Mrs. Durilla
Calkins and Leonard NJ. Scott, of
Bagley who are now confined in the
county Jail awaiting trial on the
charge of adultery.
The arrest of these people was
clever piece of work on the part of
Mr.. Harcleroads, for in his search for
the parties he had scarcely clew to
work on. He discovered that they
had heen in Sweetwater, Texas
where Scott had enrolled as a mem
Der of the carpenters union. This
fact was learned through bank in
Chicago having received a draft
bought by Scott, through a Fort
Worth, Texas, bank. On arriving in
Sweetwater he found that the pair
had gone to Wichita Falls, near
which city Scott, together with other
union men had been doing some rail
road constr uction work.
In Wichita Falls he found that
they were living somewhere on
Indiana Ave as husband and wife
under the name of Mr.. and Mrs.
jackson, but just where he was
unable to ascertain.
A directory of the city was being
issued and Mr. Harcleroad hit upon
the scheme of canvassing the street
with the book. In this way he
gained admittance to all the houses on
Indiana avenue and inquired for the
names of all the occupants. After a
short search he found that Mr.. and
Mrs. Jackson were staying at board
ing house and he Immediately asked
to speak with the latter.
As soon as he saw the woman he
recognized her as Mrs. Calkins and
placed her and Scott under arrest.
As Mr.. Harcleroad was armed with
the necessary requisition papers from
the governor of Wisconsin to the
governor of Texas he had no trouble
in assuming custody of the pair and
started home friday morning.
The prisoners were taken before
Justice Schreiner Monday morning for
a preliminary hearing.
District Atty. Clementson appeared
for the state and Atty. II. W.
Carthew for the defendants. They
decided to waive examination and
were bound over to circuit court.
Failing to secure the bail which in
the woman's case was placed at 5000
and in the mans, $1,000, they were
confined in county Jail to await trial
at the February term of court.
The skill with which Mr.. Harcle-
road planned the arrest certainly re-
fleets great credit upon his ability as
a 'sIeuth. - The Wichita Daily
News IN recognition of his clever
work referred to him in newspaper
article as a ''noted detective and
spoke highly of his shrewdness in
discovering the whereabouts of the
prisoners.

Milwaukee. Wis. Sept. 16.-Abe Atten
champion featherweight, won a ten
round no-decision bout from Charlie
White Of Chicago here tonight.
IL was his fast work IN tne last Two
rounds that gave him the newspaper
decision and until that time White had
a good chance TO break even with the
champion.
Abe was sent against the ropes in
the first. hut came back smiling ana
landed "A hard left to Whites face.
followed by another TO the stomach
In the second round there was some
fast mitigating with good exchange
at long range.
White got in a hard right and left to
Abe's face in the third round, but IL
was even Up TO the end. and the fourth
was a repetition OF the third White
holding his own.
In the fifth White got to Abe's face.
but his blows lacked steam and Attell
got I'm some hard punches to Charlie's
face and body. The sixth was an
other even break. and both slowed
down in the seventh.
Abe had a shade the better Of the
eighth. He landed one which brought
blood TO Whites nose and sent in a
rain OF shOrt-arm jabs to Charlie's
stomach. He devoted his time in the
ninth TO getting TO Whites body and
then sent a hard left and right TO the
face.
The champion did all OF the fighting
in the tenth and would have won the

We realize that e would be a great
mistake to allow these sick ducks 10 be
thrown uDon the market on october

some action to prevent it. Yet there

and always will be as long as they can
get fresh and clean water.
The solution.
We believe a solution to the whole
thing is TO remove the cause, and that
is the stagnant sewerage in and
around the mouth Of the river. This
could be done by opening the channel
Of the river clear through to the lake
10 would drain the sewer water from
the infected district into the lake and
the swift current Of the river would
then carry the present Intake from
the sewer far beyond the feeding
grounds. The present sewerage dis
trict would quickly dry up and the
ducks would be compelled TO seek new
feeding grounds. which would mean
fresh water.
While this would affect the shoot
ing. probably. on some OF the clubs
grounds. 10 would save the ducks. and
the clubs affected could make prep
arations before another year rolls
around to get fresh water 70 take the
place Of sewerage. At the same time
make preparations to take the sewer
age straight through their grounds in
a canal 20 the lake.
Reports have reached Salt Lake that
these conditions exist in parts OF Ida
no and California. We have investi-
gated these and ind II is not true i'm

same trouble at Stockton. Cal Here

To The Hcrald-Rcpubiica
During the past Few days number
OF articles have appeared In the press
calling attention 20 the sick and dead
ducks that have been found In large
numbers at some OF the duck clubs in
this vicinity As a rule. these articles
lead the public 70 believe the malady
is general. and that all the clubs are
suffering alike.
We have investigated this matter
thoroughly during the pas two weeks
and find this IS not true. and pracu-
cally the only duck feeding grounds
in the state affected are those that are
fed by the city sewer. Here IL Is true
there are thousands OF dead and dying
ducks. 10 is also true that the grounds
in close proximity 10 the sewer outlet

the farther away from this point one
goes. the fewer the diseased ducks un-

OF this strange sickness. but 10 seems

for all the trouble. II is fact upon
witch all sportsmcn viii agree. that
in the past as well as at present. this
sickness has shown up only upon the
grounds covered by the discharge OF
the sewer. 10 has been long. dry
summer. and many OF the ponds and
rioughs IN this valley have gone dry
during the summer months. As re-
suit. the ducks have crowded into the
Jordan river. and especially at tho
mouth Here they come In direct con-
tact with the sewer from this city.
With little fresh water coming down

more polluted than usual. and IL is a
