THEFTS
PUZZLE POLICE


New York, Feb. 2S.-Not discouraged
by the fact that no trace has yet been
found of the deep sea- crook who
stole Mrs. Maldwin Drummond's
pearls, worth S130,000, from her state
room on the Hamburg-American liner
Amerika last Saturday, circulars have
been sent broadcast by the New York
police describing the stolen gems. No
! clews which might throw light On the
unearthed by city and private detec-
tives who are working on the case.
Mrs. Drummond isn't worrying about
her loss, possibly because. as 1t vas
learned, the jewels were insured.
What bothered the tracers more than
anything else was that any dub"
crook could have sneaked the $4,000
necklace, the black pearl and diamond
ring. the brooch and the other pieces
as deity al a professional. That fact
tangles the situation. International
thieves who comb the big hotels OF
New York. London and Paris and who
ride the liners not for pleasure merely
are listed for cleverness by the Pinker-
tons, the Beutlers and the Metropolis
tan police. Their individual cuteness
leaves a trail. But the dub" or the
accidental thief who tumbles on to an
easy thing is hard to mark.
Captain Knuth Of the Amerika in
sists that there were no known crooks
on the steamship. Captain Beutler,
who is In charge for Mrs. Drummond
OF the investigation and whose expe.
riences at the race tracks here and
abroad have given him a large nc-
quaintance with big thieves, thought
that Captain Knuth might easily have
been fooled, because the sharpest
crooks have ways Of Disgusting them
selves.
BY a private detective the theory is
advanced that the thief or thieves will
return on the Amerika when 1t sails
and win occupy the same stateroom
as on the voyage Just ended. The de-
tective is so thoroughly convinced that
the theory will lead to a capture that
he has searched every staterocm on
the vessel for a ciew to the character
of its most recent occupant. When
the America sails he proposes to make
the trip in the hope Of apprehending
the Jewel thief when he tries to dis
pose of lis plumber in Europe.
TT build not have been a dub"
this detective declared. 'The person
who Cole Mrs. Drummond's gems was
an cert, a thief of the highest order
and Mnan who watched his opportu-
nifty r months perhaps before he
realized 1t. In cases similar to this
the thief has returned on the same
boat on which he made his haul, and
| am convinced that 1t will be fol-

careless about them that they do

Some children are requested to
do Ger tain work about their homes
before starting to school whether
they can get to school on time or
not; and many are required to
leave school at the afternoon re-
cess in order to get home in time
to attend to the evening work.
Such treatment is enough to dis
courage any child; he is ready to
believe that his chance is not
equal to that of other children
and if he gets an education he
will just have to snatch chances.
Give them help and encourage
ment at home. See that they go
regularly to school and are pro-
vided with books and anything
else that is necessary. Show
them that you are willing to make
any sacrifices for them without
begrudging it. God speed the

Ladies and fellow readers of
the Putnam County Herald: The
drouth is broken and everybody
is feeling fine.
Your humble -pusher only
as rich as a two cent stamp and
has come this morning to talk to
you about some of the causes OF
so many uneducated boys and
girls in our county. Surely the
lack of interest in school is one OF
the worst reasons. We hear a
great deal about the works of So
siety organized for the purpose
of creating more interestin school
by improving school houses and
grounds and by supplying them
with libraries, maps, and any,
thing necessary for good school
work. They help create a deep
er interest in the subject of edu-
cation. All Of these things are
badly needed, especially the in
terest.
It is sad indeed to see the want
of interest among our people.
Some say their school is almost
out and some boys and girls have
not attended at all. This seems
to be one of the worst troubles
everywhere. 1t is the same in
the towns where houses are good,
teachers plentiful and the child
rem have nothing to do. Some
schools are so small they can
hardly be kept going. and with
O number of children out on the
streets playing games or idling
their time away all Of this is
hard to understand.
No one will deny that an edu-
cation is necessary in all branch
es Of business, and that no one
without an education is prepared
for a life of usefulness.
A right to have some education
is considered by law to be due to
all citizens Of this civilization.
This is why the state provides for
the public schools free to all. 1t
seems to me that we should make
better use of what the state
has done. The law requires that
the tax to support the public
schools be levied and that it shall
be collected Of off the property
to get it. 1t further provides that
all teachers shall prove by a test
examination that they are COM
petent to teach. After that it is
left altogether with the parents.
In many states the tax shall
be collected and the schools shall
be taught but leaves it with the
parents. in many states, as to
whether the children shall have
the benefit or not. Surely if our

Catholic Church Destroyed by Light
ning.-During severe electrical storm
recently, st. James Catholic Church,
Washington, Ia, valued at $4,000,

Jubilee of Father Clark of Du-

in the Cathedral of New York City.
For fourteen years he labored in the
ministry of the Church in the East
and eleven years ago he came to the
Diocese of Dubuque, and has since
served as chaplain at MT. Carmel, the
Motherhouse of the Sisters of Char
ity. Father Clark is champion of
Christian education and since coming
to Dubuque has been one of the most
loyal supporters of st. Joseph's Col

ton grounds in the rear of the col
lege, is largely his gift to the institu-

The late Lord Brampton left a con-

London Catholic dioceses for chart

that portion, however, has since been

Norwegian Convert Now Priest
Eleven years ago a young Protestant,
Thorlief Engelson, belonging to
prominent family of Christiana, Nor
way, and a student at the university of
that city, was drawn to Catholicism
by witnessing a celebration of Corpus
Christi. Six years later he was or
dained a priest, and since that time
he has devoted all his energies to the
extension of the Catholic faith in the
isolated regions of the far north of
Europe.
The Eucharistic Congress Process
sion.-It is estimated that 100000 men
walked in the final procession at the

100 bishops. The Papal Legate did
not appear in the procession, as in
Canada last year; but after the bene-
diction in the Plaza he drove to the
