Evelyn Bargelt Concert Com
pany

For a strictly high class novel
ty program there is nothing bett-
er available than the Bargelt Con
cert Company.
Evelyn Bargelt holds. a place
unique and exclusive. As a
reader an cartoonist she oc-
cupies a field of her own. II
you have ever heard Miss Bar
gelt you have been delighted.
Her humor is spontaneous. Her
wit ready and unexpected. Her
pathetic numbers are most touch
ing, for she sure has a most tear
full voice when she sees fit to
use it. AS q reader she is far
above the average good" reader.
As an entertainer she holds Q
place all Of her own. Her illu-
strated humor is most captlva-
ting. 55
Miss Bargelt usually gives one
drawing during the evening which
occupies twenty minutes or more,
and, e. she talks, she CARRIES the
audience from one scene to an
other in the story she is relat-
ing at all times filled with en-
thusiastic interest. Best Of oil

them q lesson which leaves the

ALI this means that he is YER
satile-versatile as am officeboy's
excuses. He understands human
nature, and ''takes off" the peo-
pie we see every day. In his
"make up" parts, especially, you
see and hear, not Mr.. Plumsted
nor the character impersonated,
but the character itself. Add to
this a singularly pure and sympa-
thetic singing voice, and you
have a combination we'll worth
hearing.

9, 1854. She was baptized in infancy
by Rev. James Manning of the Luther
an church, and was confirmed and re-
ceived into the Zion Lutheran church
in 1872 under Rev. 8. Ridennur's
passionate. She was united in marriage
to S. P. Nedrow Sept. 10, 1872. Three
children blessed this union, two dy-
ing in infancy Those left to mourn
her departure are her husband one son
Irwin L., and a grand daughter Ruth
Alice. Two brothers John and Syl-
vester also survive, the former being
present during her last illness. She

life was spent in this neighborhood
and her friends are legion. She was
one the most prominent ladies of the
community and will be greatly missed

full. Hers was a consecrated life. She
was active member of the Lutheran
church for 40 years; ever aiming to
glorify God and to bring blessings upon
mankind She has left glorious heri-
T tage, and her memory will ever be a
sweet benediction for all who were so
fortunate as to know her.

brig bitches and thing, and small
streams have been dug deeper and
Strengthened. Where a few years ago
there were ponds, swamps and
sloughs, in northern and central
Iowa, there are now drainage bitches
and thing, which carry off the water
after every rain and empty it into
the river. The consequence is that
the rivers, always full during the
season of spring rains, are unable
to carry off the amount of water
dumped into them and the water
from upper Iowa is dumped into
lower Iowa over the banks of the
| swollen streams.
1t is not the fault Of the hustlers
of northern and central Iowa that the
rivers fail to do their work. They
have faced and are facing the neces
sity of draining their land. The riv
ers are there to take off their over
flow. If the rivers and streams are
unable, because of obstructed chan
nels and great bends that retard the
current, to carry off the water, then
the state faces the necessity of clear.
ing the distractions and straighten
| ing the stream.
For the past seven years there has
not been a full crop raised on the
bottom land adjacent to the Des
Moines river because of high water
| at some peroid of the year. The river
| in the summer of these years has
| been higher than it had been pre-
vious to that time. The river is car.
| rying more water every year. DURING
| the summer Of 1909 the river was at
high stage all summer Several times
last summer, when it had not ralne'
here, nor for miles up the river, there
was a noticeable rise. On one oc'
casion there was three foot rise
when it had not rained for week
Reports from Des Moines at that
time brought the information that 1t
had not rained there, but had been
raining farther up the river. The rise
in the river here was due to the fact
| that northern and central Iowa were
getting rid of the excessive rainfall
and southern Iowa was being flooded
as a result. This shows that northern
| Iowa is working and southern Iowa
is not keeping up with the procession
in this line. .
| Some of the counties in southern
Iowa have not waited for the state
or government to aid them and have
started reclamation projects of their
own. But there is little of such work
being done. Page county in the west
ern part of the state has set out tC
reclaim overflow by Strengthening it's
streams to the extent of forty miles
| of new channel. The cost, which 1t is
estimated will reach 100000, will
be paid by the land benefited. Des
Moines and Louisa counties are en-
gagged in big work supplementary

ABANDONMENT
: LED TO ARREST
YOUNG MAN WHO LEFT BABE ON
DOORSTEP ARRESTED AFTER
CONFESSION.

New London. Jan. 29.-The sensa-
ton in the babe abandonment case
which has caused great deal OF ex-
element here, reached its climax Mon
day evening when Henry Ogie, young
man Of this place, was arrested after
his confession that he was the person
who placed the live baby on the door
step of the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Karl
Weisenkon Sunday evening. Under
questions of County Attorney F. S.
Finley of Mt. Pleasant, who came here
to investigate the case Mr.. Ogie,
frankly admitted that he had carried
the babe there and placed it on the
porch. He claimed he had done it for
the mother of the child whom he was
we'll acquainted with. Ogie was ar
rested and taken to Mt. Pleasant by
the sheriff. He will be held to await
examinat ton by the coroner's jury.
The serious part of, the matter is
that the babe died Monday evening,
and there is likelihood that the
mother and her parent, and Mr.. Ogie
will be held responsible for the i'm
proper care Of the infant causing its
death.
The little babe girl died at the home
of Mrs. John wellington, where it had
been given the best OF. care. Before
the remains were inferred in the Burge
cemetery short service was conducted
by Rev. Mr.. Pool of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
County Attorney Finley came from
Mt Pleasant Tuesday morning and be-
gan an investigation Of the matter. He
gathered all the evidence that he was
| able to get hold of and before O'Clock
| complete statement Of the whole af-
! fair was in his hands. The statement
edwas made and signed by Mrs. Jane
Marshall, mother Of Blanche Marshall,
who was the mother of the child. 1t
was also signed by Blanche. Marshall.
| The child was born Thursday night
J and on Sunday morning was taken to
| the Weisenkon home. A man by the
name of White was named as the
| father Of the child. He worked while
here last summer on the new bank
| building The case will be turned over
I to the grand jury.
! This has created great deal Of ex-
| element here and several other parties
had been brought into the matter with
the result that it became necessary for
! the authorities to find the guilty ones
in order to stop the gossip that had
| been going on about innocent people.

C3IE MUST DIE FOR MURDER
Supreme Court Refuses New Trial 10
Ean Who Killed Thomas Shaw.

Raleigh, Oct. 8.-R. w. Cobb, the
Halifax county man under sentence
of death for the murder and rob-
berry of Thomas Shaw, prosperous
merchant and planter of Rosemary.
Halifax county, is to pay the death
penalty in the penitentiary here on
Friday, December II. This date was
fixed by Governor Craig on receipt
of the certifcation from the Su-
preme court that the conviction ard
sentence, as imposed in the Superior
Court, have been affirmed on ap-
peal.
The murder and robbery occurred
the night Of MAJ g last, and the
conviction and sentence followed in
June. The Shay home was three
miles from Rosemary and the store
was two hundred yards from the
residence.
Thomas Shaw and his son, Shel-
ton Shaw, locked tie store at 10
O'Clock and walked toward the
house, MIR. Shaw having the money
from the days business under his
arm.
AS they neared the house some
one sprang up from the corner of
the porch and demanded "hands
up!"
Mr.. Shaw exclaimed "get out and
quit your fooishness.
The man, who was afterwards
proven to be Cobb, fired. Shelton
Shaw ran back toward the store for
help, a number Of men having left
the store for their homes just as the
place was closed.
Thomas shaw was found 70 be nor
tally wounded and died three days
later in the hospital at Roanoke
Rapids.
Cobb is a young man about %
years Old and grew up in he neigh
borhood where the murder was COM
mitted. There was evidence to
prove that he planned the robbery,
and murder, if necessary, to get the
money, with the purpose Of getting
away on a bicycle so as to avoid be-
ing tracked by blood hounds. A
young man, Gurkins, who was ac-
cused Of being an accomplice, was
acquitted at the same time that Cobb
was convicted and sentencted.
