They make noise like cats on the

They walk through the flower beds

They have been promised bird
fancier who wants them as soon as
possible
But 1t is my belief we shall not
catch them for another fortnight" he
added pessimistically.
They know US all by sight now and
We don't seem to stand much chance
with them until they have forgotten
us.
PERSONALLY should like to catch
them. because they spoil my flowers
Strangely enough, they have ceased to
be noisy since we caught and penned
up two Of the cocks. Generally they
are only continually rowdy in the
breeding season. which is from the
middle Of June until the middle of
July.
The only method Of catching pea

and that, considering that we have

possible. as we are finding out"

ONES ONE.HALF INCHES
Steady Downpour of Rain All Night
Was Much Needed.

After waiting for several months
the much needed rain arrived last
evening. The shower was just what
was needed and according to Mr..
Vreeland's rain guage an inch and
One-hals of water fell. Grass appear,
ed green this morning and everything
looked much brighter. Streets We're
cleaned and cutters relieved of the
accumulation of dirt. The shower
commenced at about $50 last even
ing and continued until early this
morning. No wind accompanied and
much of the water seemed to soak
into the ground as it fell. The local
rivers and streams were swelled by
the downpour and ponds were again
filed. The rain did an immense
amount of good and is just what the
farmer has been looking for.
South Skunk river which has been
the lowest in years is to-day run
ming nearly bank full as result of the
heavy rainfall last evening. This
afternoon the water was rising very
slowly and it is doubtful if the river
will go out of its banks. The vast
accumulation of dirt, rubbish, ice
etc, is being swept down stream al
rapid rate and the water Is. in fou
condition. .,.. -- IN .ti,,. -,

Knoxville, Ia, Feb. 14.-Special:
A large residence property owned by
the Parsons heirs was burned to the
ground here last night causing a loss
of several thousand dollars. The
house was occupied by William Perry,
ex-marshal, and family, and by Mrs.
Henry DeMoss and her family. The
fire first originated from a defective
fiue and the flames We're about under
control when second fire occurred
on the interior of the house. Before
this fire could be controlled or reached
the flames had spread to an extent
that the house could not be saved.
The second fire was caused by an
overturned lamp, the result of the
efforts of one of the workers to get
quantity of property to a place OF
safety.

Morris Gould Fails.

Another business failure is record.
ed in Oskaloosa, to-day when the
house of Morris Gould was closed
by the mortgages. Morris Gould
has been in business in Oskaloosa for
twenty-five years and has grown up
with the progress of the city. And
it comes as a surprise to many that
at last this house is in financial
troubles. The mortgages took pos
session of the stock and will dispose
of the stock and big sale in furni'
ture will open Tuesday of next week
after invoices are made. When the
stock will have to be sold for less
than wholesale cost. Many friends
of Morris wish that he may thus
tide over his present financial diff
ficulties and again re-enter business
in Oskaloosa.

weaker. His condition, although re-
garded as serious, was not even then
looked upon as critical and death,
which came with the evening hours,
is a surprise and shock to family
and friends alike. A thread of mis-
fortune has been strangely woven
into Elmer's life year after year, and
his death is uncommonly sad. From
young manhood he was handicapped
in his battle with the world. About
twenty years ago, in 1890, Elmer
Walling was employed as a train
man on the Iowa Central. He was
walking through the yards at Mar
Eshalltown one evening and was as,
saulted and robbed just as his train
pulled out. He was rendered umcon
scious and the body was thrown un
der the train. Young Walling es
capped with his life, but was badly
hurt and lost an arm. He was in a
serious condition for months, but
finally recovered and then did what
he could to earn a livelihood. He is
survived by wife, father and moth
er, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Walling, No
60 North c street, two brothers, G
S. and SymOn Walling, and a sister
Mrs. Ella Moffett, of Omaha.
