1t is Estimated That the Willy Profes-
sor viii Cost About 5000 Be-
fore be is Con-
vcted.
NO WORD FROM MARSHAL
However, He is Expected to Arrive
With Captive From Monet,
Mo-, Within Next Twenty
Four Hours.

No word has been received during
the past few days from Marshal Henry
Kesselring, but it is likely that he will
return home with his captive, Profess
sor R. T. Vaughan from Monett, Mo-,
some time today.
The willy professor has given the
city marshal as much trouble after
being located as before. Whether
Governor Hadley of Missouri recog-
nized the requisition papers or not is
not known, but there is reason to be-
lieve that he did and that the officer
will arrive today with his man.
In addition to having Keokuk's chief
police executive placed under arrest
charged with perjury the trip is cost
ing the city lots of cash and the con
victing of the professor will be an ex.
pensive thing. 1t is estimated that the
city will have to expend in the
neighborhood of 5000 to convict him
of obtaining money under false pre-
| lenses.
Marshal Kesselring is probably be
| ing delayed by having to make the
! trip from Monet to Jefferson City at
ter learning that requistion papers
were needed and then having to re
! turn to Monet. No word has been re
ceived at police headquarters con
corning his whereabouts at the pres
ent time, but it is argued that he
should blow into town within the
next twenty-four hours.
/ 1t was quite a clever coup tina
Vaughan tried to pull off when thu
marshal arrived 70. him in Monet

tive the police have had to deal with
Kesselring swore to the requisitiol
papers and Vaughan came right bacl
with the charge that he swore false
" and that he (meaning Vaughan
was not wanted for obtaining none
under false pretenses.
1t may be, however, that Governo
Hadley, of Missouri, wants more ev
dence as to the man Vaughan, but
, SO Kesselring has sent back to kec
kuk for no word in the matter.

Peoria is to entertain the only two
great motor boat regattas to be given
in the west this summer-the first is
the Mississippi Valley association,
July 4, 5, and 6, and the second that
of the Western Power Boat associa-
ton on August q and IS. A Peoria
paper says of the excitement: The for.
mer is the one secured at Burlington,
Iowa, last Fourth of July; the latter
Is the one which made such a tremen-
dous splash here last August.
A specially called meeting of the
Water Carnival association yesterday
at noon, together with a meeting OF
the board of directors of the Illinois
Valley Yacht club, decided to under
take the entertainment Of both re-
gattas. Thos. H. Webb represented
that Peoria could not only defeat De-
troit for the regatta of the Western
association in Chicago tomorrow
night but could secure this regatta
as a permanancy. Chicago yachtmen
have already agreed to unite with
Peoria in the effort for this city and
the work is consequently well cut out
for the delegation which goes into
the windy city in the morning.
Want Real Airship.
1t was argued by some members
after the meeting that balloon race
was as common as a prize hog at
county fair and that for $1,000 the
Water Carnival association could Sc.
cure daily exhibits Of real airship.
The cost of these airships, OF the
Wright, Curtiss or Paulhan types,
range from $1,000 to $1,000 and a
French school of instructors is turn
ing out hundreds of sky pilots. Be
tween this time and the Fourth OF
July there will be 1000 of these ma
chimes available for exhibition and il
is argued that the $1,000 OF the Wat
or Carnival association should be ex
pended for an attraction Of this sor1
rather than balloon race.
The directors meeting of the Yacht
club which followed that of the Wat
er Carnival lasted but one minute
and a half Webb presided with Lee
Lord as secretary. The clut
merely passed resolution authoriz
ing the appointment of five delegates
to the Western association meeting
and instructed them to offer $1,000 IL
cash for the 1910 regatta.

vety Softness and wilderness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed

For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable
Treatment.-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry

ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of
