dent of Winneshiek county, and rela'

away Wednesday If this week at his
home in Toeterville at the age of 80
years from the infirmities of old age.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baldwin, Mr.. and Mrs.

E. B. Wildman received telephone
message Wednesday, from his nephew,
Charles Wildman, at St. Ansgar, tell
ing of the sudden death of the latter's
wife, who passed away on Tuesday.
The young couple had but recently
made their home at st. Ansgar, having
been married only since May. The
funeral will take place this, Friday,
afternoon. Charles has many Cresco
friends who will sympathize with him
in his bereavement.
A movement is being agitated in
Cresco to secure some good amusement
company and hold street carnival
here some time this fall, presumably
the fore part of September. Other
towns in our vicinity have them, and
consider them a success. It seems,
that with no county fair here, Cresco,
with q reputable carnival company,
here would make good. Howard coun-
ty people all are willing to be amused
and with the county seat to take the
initiative, there is no reason why such
an undertaking should not be success
full.

TOO MANY GERMAN WOMEN.
This Fact Disquieting to the Kaiser
and Others

Berlin.-According to official fig
ures of the census return taken on
December l. the population of greater
Berlin now numbers S,T12.554 inhab-
itants.
The predominating feature OF the
results of the census is the revelation
of the growing preponderance OF fe~
males over males in Germany. The
complete results of the census have
not yet been ascertained. but so far
as the returns go they show an alarm
ing increase of the disproportion be-
tween males and females.
The growing majority of females IS
exercising the minds, not only of the
government. but also Of the politici-
ans and social reformers, in grow
ing degree. There is a deep rooted
idea in Germany, which, as is well
known. is shared by the Kaiser and
the ruling element, that woman's
sphere is the home. and that 1t is the
destiny OF the females to seek a mate
and find her happiness in the up
bringing of her children.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 20.-The

New Orleans for the Panama expo
sition. This action had been fore
casted. 1t is believed a fight on the
floor VIII be certain when the final
report is made next week by the rules
committee to which Kahns resolution,
favoring San Francisco, is made. The
committee recommended million
dollars for the government building.
\ majority of the committee are
southerners. A minority report will
probably be made and will precipitate
the floor battle.
Todays vote on the fair was taken
after a strenuous and hot time ses-

SEARCHING
FOR JAS. {. HUGHES

James E. Hughes who has been
acting in the capacity of solicitor of
advertising for the past two months,
will probably face a charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
If the local officers are successful in
running him to earth. The specific
act of which he is accused is the pass
Of a worthless check for SO upon
j. Mozier, one of the proprietors of
the pool room near the Bowman Hotel
This he did last Wednesday night, fill
ing out a check on a Boise bank and
signing a fictitious name that of ]. E.
Traveers At that time he told Mr..
Mozier that he would come around
the next morning and take up the
check, and upon his failure to do so,
the officers were notified. Investiga-
ton revealed the fact that on Wedn ss-
day night he had purchased a ticket to
Walla Walla and a search is now be-
ing conducted for him.
That is not the first offense of this
nature of which Hughes has been
guilty in this city. Several weeks ago
he passed six different worthless
checks on the same bank but in these
instances he signed his own name.
Two of these checks were passed upon
w. A. Brown, proprietor of Hotel Pen
dleton, one upon the Bowman Hotel
one upon Martin Anderson, one upon
Koeppen Bros. and one upon Fay
Adams, proprietor of one of the local
houses of i'll fame. The officers were
notified at that time when the checks
with the information that Hughes
had never had an account with that
institution, but upon the representa-
ton of Hughes that his father had
promised to forward some money to
that bank and that it was with the
belief that this had been done that he
had drawn the checks, no prosecution
was undertaken with provision that he
make the checks good with cash. This
he finally did and the matter was
dropped, although the officers enter
tained serious doubts as to his honesty
These facts We're known to quite a
number of people at that time but
were not published because Of the pos
| siblity that the man might have been
innocent of any criminal intent. How
ever by his last act, he has forfeited
| all claim to clemency and has demon
strated that he not only is a crook but
man habtually used to practice
fraud.
At the time Hughes came to this
city to accept his posting as an ad-
vertising solicitor, he was routed as
being zone of the best known men in
the advertising business in America"
II was stated that he had held "eXecu-
tive advertising positions on a large
number of the biggest and best east
ern papers and has now decided for
the next year at least, to associate
himself with a western paper" In
the light of recent developments, the
officers are inclined to believe that he
is better known for something else
besides executive advertising ability
and are busy tracing his past record.
While a complaint has been agains,
him, no formal charges have yet been
filed, but it is probable that the mat
ter will be taken up with the grand
jury.
