A Musical Treat.

Your average rural wit is fear

mind to see through it. No one
knows this better than does Bohmuir
Kryl, the greatest of cornet soloists,
who comes here at the opera house
on Wednesday Dec. 18th, with his
own concert company for the second
time. Last winter, Kryl was max
ing tour through some of the
larger towns, including many in Cal
ifornia, where he is a prime favorite.
In one, he was engaged to play for
church enterta;nment-whi he
good naturedly consented to do. A
pompous but, 'supposed-to- -be-witty"
deacon was the master Of ceremo-
nieB, and this gent fleman had the

At The Christian Church.

Last Lords day Mrs. Travers, of
Des Moines, gave two interesting ad-
dresses on the work of the Christian
Woman's Board of Missions to large
audiences. This was the anniversary
of the C. w. B. M. and the reports
show a wonderful growth since the
beginning of the organization over
fifty years ago.
Our Bible School numbered 165.
This increase is pleasing to us, yet
we feel there should be many more
in this department of the church.
Every member of the church should
make an effort to be at the Bible
School. This institution is the
teaching force of the church and we
cannot afford to neglect it. For al
most a year and a half we have been
studying the Old Testament and the
lessons have been very interesting.
At the first of the year we begin in
the New Testament which is more
vital to us and we hope to have "a
large increase in the attendance. We
want at least 200 enrolled by that
time. Will you come? All the reg
ular services of the church at the
regular hours next Lords day.
The church is having the base-
ment plastered this week. f

TIE TOM YoUNG CASE
The Jury Returned a Verdict OF
MansIauehter. Sentence OF y
Years. Will be Appealed. :

The Jury in the case of Tom
Young, the second of the defendants
tried for the murder of Mrs. Bertha
Zornes, at her home near Dekalb
on the night of December 8, 1910,
returned verdict of guilty of man
slaughter Saturday morning at $3.50
o'clock, the case having been given
to the jury Friday evening at $3.50
o'clock. /
The case which was commenced IN
Wednesday November Sth, and court
was adjourned on the following day
after the jury was selected, the state
and defense agreeing to try the case
to jury of eleven men, until the
following Monday. Then on Monday
Judge Maxwell was taken III ana
court was adjourned until Monday
of last week when the case was taken
up for the third time.
The evidence in the case was prac-
tically the same as that given at the
trial of Clarence Teale who was con-
victed of murder in the second de-
gree and sentenced to twenty years.
The defendant, Tom Young, took the
stand and swore as he did IN the
trial of Clarence Teale that he was
the person who struck Mrs. Zornes
with a board and killed her. and
there was some corroborative evil
dence to support his testimony at
the trial this time. From the verdict
of the jury they evidently accepted
his story, and took the view that he
struck her harder than he intended
to.
The attorneys for Tom Young
made a motion for new trial which
was overruled by Judge Maxwell, and
sentence was pronounced by Judge
Maxwell before court adjourned o.
Saturday, the sentence being an in
determinate one of not to exceed S
years in the Anamosa reformatory
The appeal bond was fixed at $4,000
which the defendant gave and was
released from custody, and his at
torneys will take the case to the ST.
preme coure in the hope of securing
a new trial.

GOT A Life SENTENCE
Andrew Thornton Plead Guilty to the
Charge of Rape, and SentenC-
ed to Life Imprisonment.

For once justice has been admin
istered surely and quickly in Decatur
county, and in less than week after
a criminal was placed under arrest
he was inside the prison walls COM
mencing life sentence.
Andrew Thornton, the young fel-
low from Morgan township. who was
arrested on Tuesday evening of last
week on the charge of assaulting
Miss Annie Thomas at her home near
Spring Valley on the previous Thurs
day night, entered a plea of guilty
to the charge, county attorney Sharp
having filled an indictment against
him under the new Law Saturday
morning, Thornton entering plea
of guilty, and waving time for SEN
tence, Judge Maxwell Immediately
passed sentence which was that he
be confined at Anamosa for an in
determinate sentence not exceeding
the period of his natural life, and as
the defendant is but 23 years of age,
he has good long period of con-
finement awaiting him. In passing
sentence the Judge took occasion to
deplore the fact that any man in
this enlightened age should be
brought before the court on such a
heinous crime as the defendant has
confessed he committed.
Sheriff Andrew took Thornton to
Anamosa Monday morning and he
commenced serving his sentence the
same evening.
Thornton made a complete confess
sion of the crime and told in detail
all of his movements of that day,
how he entered the house and what
occurred there 1t was one of the
worst cases we have ever heard Of
and the general public is pleased that
justice was administered quickly and
that he got the full limit of the law.
There have been all kind of rumors
in circulation the past week that Miss
Thomas had died. but there is no
truth in them. While she is quite
ill from the injuries and shock, she
is getting along very we'll and her
death is not looked far.

Harry Bell Killed by an Auto.
AIRY, the Youngest. son Of n

Harry, the youngest son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry P. Bell, of Shenan-
doah, was struck by an auto last
Saturday afternoon and received in
juries from which he died about 7
O'Clock the same evening. The lit
tie fellow with some playmates was
roller skating on the new asphalt
pavement at Shenandoah, and Harry
and another boy were hanging on the
rear of a delivery wagon. AS the
wagon turned off the pavement the
boy let go and stumbled and fell
right in front of an auto which was
coming up the other side of the
street, the boy falling so quickly that
the driver, 1. F. Danner, could not
stop his car, although he was driving
very slow at the time. The boys
right leg was broken, his jaw
broken in three places and his head
cut and crushed. Mr.. Danner stop
ped his car and picked the lad up,
and just then physician came along
and the boy was taken to a physi-
clans office, where his injuries were
dressed and he was removed to his
home. The doctors found his brain
had not been injured, but there were
broken arteries and the little fellow
died from internal hemorrhage a lit
tie before O'Clock. The funeral was
held at Shenandoah Tuesday.
Harry was bright little fellow
who would have been ten years old
next June. He frequently visited
with his grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Bell, in this city, and spent the
most of the past summer in Leon
He was winsome little fellow be-
loved by all. His father, H. P. Bell,
is travelling for the Beach Stock
Food Co., but was at home at the
time of the accident. No blame for
the sad accident is attached to the
driver of the car, as it was one of
those accidents which will happen,
and was unavoidable.
