WAS DUBUQUE's CRADLE
Ancient Relic, Valuable Because II
GRABBED tho Founder Of Dubuque and
First White Settler in Iowa, Dis
covered in Cavity Behind Cellar
WaIl-Famiiy Refuses to Sell 1t.

Dubuque, Aug. 7.-Of considerable
interest in connection with the early
settlers picnic. to be held in Dubuque
Aug. s, is the fact that thru the efforts
of Elk Mayor Haas and Richard Herr
mann, the old family cradle of the
this city, has come into possession Of
Mr.. Hermann. and will shortly be on
exhibition at Mr.. Herrman's private
musuern. The old cradle. built of solid
oak. is now rather delapidated. but Mr..
Hermann intends to restore it before
placing it on exhibition.
1t is claimed that this is the cradle
in which Julien Dubuque was rocked
TO sleep. 1t is the family cradle OF
Jean Baptiste Dubuque. his nearest
kin, who was a brother OF Julien Du-
buQue, and the family is known to have
had it for 100 years.
The cradle was lost sight Of for a
number Of years and had been entirely
forgotten until, in doing some repair
ing on one Of the cellar walls Of the
old Dubuque family homestead, a hole
was broken in the wall and a cavity
discovered behind. On investigating
this cavity the old cradle was found
and also an old chair. Believing 1t to
be Of interest, the family communi-
Gated with the mayor of the city Of
Dubuque, who happened to be Daniel
]. Haas at that time
The State Historical Society at Des
Moines made an effort to secure the old
cradle. but the family believed 1t would
be Of greater interest and value to the
citizens Of Dubuque and refused to
give it away or sell it. 1t is therefore
Of considerable qualification to know
that the historic relic has come 10 the
city, where Julien Dubuque, the first
white settler to Iowa, permanently To-
Gated and after whom the city and
county has been named.

Cresron. Aug Enlarged with I'M
personat5ng a federal officer and sus-
pected as the Villisca murderer OF the
Moore family, Charles 3. Seward ar
tested yesterday at Clarinda by Deputy
place. and brought here for hearing
had occasioned much alarm at his
boarding place and among ms tello"
workmen BY his queer actions. When
his lanolady complained to the polco
that she believed him dangerous
man, and fellow workman told OF
Seward threatening his life with
small Ratchet which he carried IN an
inside coat pocket. it was deemed best
to hunt up the man and place him in
some safe place.
When the authorities attempted to
take Seward he flashed a star upon
them, claiming he was head chief or
the United States Indian police. Deputy
Marshall Bryant was called to take
charge Of the man. as the Clarinda
sheriff felt little timid after such
show Of authority.
Talked Of Moore Murder.
It is claimed Seward talked incess-
antly az Clarinda Of the Moore murder.
telling how easy it would be to do such
an act. All one would need to do, he
said was TO carefully lay ones plans,
go to the house and crack the victims
over the head, go to the river and wash
your hands and then calmly so about
ones business He was believed de-
menteG and dangerous to be at liberty.
He claimed he could produce witnesses
that he was an officer, from Illinois.
Colorado and other places where muir
ders Of a similar character had been
committed, and showed a familiarity
with the localities.
Hold to Grand Jnv.
In O. hearing here he was held to
the grand jury to answer to the
charge OF impersonating an officer and
afterw ards was sweated by the au-
thorities on the Villisca murder. He
craftily evaded the questions and but
little satisfaction was received from
his replies. His appearance Is sinister
and ia no way does he have the ap-
pearance Of IN official. He could not
produce his commission nor did he
know the method by which such Of
fieials were commissioned. thus giving
the Impression that that part of his
story was faxed. He also claimed to be
q, cousin Of DR.. Charles Farrens, of
Clarinda, and this the officers found
was true, but DR.. Farrens had not
heard from him for twenty-five years
altho he admitted he had first cousin
by that name and seemed very much
surprised to hear he had been in Clar
linda. Seward came to Clarinda about
ten days ago and had been working on
the railroad section.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Yankee Giri''

It required all the personal magne- tism of Blanche Ring and the best ef- forts of the inimitable Harry Gilfoil, together with the assistance of a large and we'll balanced company to make "The Yankee Girl" a successful enter tainment on the occasion of the first presentation of the piece in Birming- ham. During the interim "The Yankee Girl'' has been "revived,' but not gal vanized sufficiently to be anything more than a pale reproduction of the original. It was presented at the Jeff ferson theatre last night with Miss Julie Ring as the star. Miss Ring by the way is a sister of Blanche Ring
 There Is no denying the fact that Miss Julie Ring has good looks, mag netic qua iFies and ability as a com- edienne.

CASE WILL BE HEARD
 BY COURT OCTOBER 13
Long, Evans and Powell Cited to Appear and Show Why They Should Not Be Pro-
 hibited From Acting

Another step was taken yesterday in the fight against the property raises made by the state tax commission when Judge E. c. Crow of the circuit court of Jefferson county issued rule nisi against the state tax commission and against It's individual members, j. Lee Long, chairman, A. A. Evans and ' B. Powell. ordering them to appear before him on October 19 to show by what right or authority they set aside the judgments of the board of revenue in reference to the tax raises of Jeff Q Herson county.
 The rule nisi was granted on the pe- tition of Bailey & Howard, who, through their attorneys, R. B. smyer and A G. and r. D. Smith, filed the papers with Judge Crow. The petition recites that the property of the pen- aioners had been assessed by the county tax commissioner and docketed and passed upon by the board of revenue who assessed the property at $s4oo' and that later the state tax commits zion passed a resolution setting aside the Judgment of the board of revenue and had assessed the property at $16,- .ez5, and had cited the petitioners to appear before them on November Il to hear and determine the said valua- tion.
 The petition further alleges that the state tax commission had no authority an law or Jurisdiction to interfere and set aside the Judgments of the board of revenue and prayed as follows;
