BURLINGTON END OF
AUTOMOBILE STORY
AGENT Said Did Not Know GeInaw
Was Accredited Agent for
Automobile Company.

Burlington Gazette: One Mr.. Gel
nav, agent for the Studebaker Auto
mobile company will doubtless be
more careful in his methods Of taking
cars out of garages and the mind OF
Mr. NJ r. Vaughan will be greatly
eased over the solution OF an appar-
entity insoluble automobile mystery
of Yesterday afternoon. Gelnaw had
taken a car out of Vaughan's Garage
on Front street and had departed for
parts unknown.
Mr.. Vaughan, the owne-. of the gar.
age, did not know that Gelnaw was
an accredited agent of the Studebaker
company and Immediately upon the
discovery Of the fact that the car was
gone. notified the police and the sheriff
of his loss. He gave them the num-
Der of the car and stated that II was
| Studebaker six and would be worth,
the way it was equipped, about ST.
l625,O0.
He described the driver Of the car
and asked that assistance be given In
the search. Cards were sent out to
the neighboring towns and those close
| to Burlington were notified over the
phone. The police and sheriffs OF all
the country in this section were soon
on the alert on the look out Tor the
missing man and car.
! Early this morning the Keokuk POI
lice department notified the sheriff
here that they had captured the man
and asked that they be notified what
disposition to make of the car and
prisoner. They stated that they got
their clue when garage owner In TT.
Madison told the police there that
man answering the description given
of Gelnaw and car that was identical
with the one that was said to have
| been stolen had stopped there and that
the number plate was changed SO that
recognition would be difficult. The
man drove out OF Madison In the d.
rection of Keokuk and 1t was there
! that Gelnaw was discovered to be
a bona fide agent of the Chicago
branch and asked that prosecution be
stopped as there was some misunder-
standing and they guaranteed that
they would make good any loss or
damages sustained by the local man.
They were told that there was no
desire to prosecute and the matter
was amicably settled and the car turn
ed over to Gelnaw after the Keokuk
police were notified to release him and
to allow him to proceed on his way.

When the Keokuk rate case was
won, the rates still showed a differ

about two cents for first class matter
IN Qu!ncy's favor. A decision by the
commission raised the Quincy rate to
an equality with the local rates. This
decision is the one that Quincy is
violently protesting. Keokuk is at
tending the hearing simply as an in

Should the decision be reversed
the advantage Of Quincy in Keokuk
and possibly Burlington territory may
readily be seen.

FALL OPENING AT
MICHAEL STORE
Smartness the Keynote of the
Ushering in of the
Season.

Smartness is the keynote of the
formal fall opening at Oscar Michael
&c Co.'s; smartness within reach OF
the moderate purse. The woman
whose funds are limited may be sure
that this shop Will help her to spend
them wisely.
The cloak and suit department on
the third floor is the pivot around
which interest in the opening is CEN
tered. The garments are displayed
in a most attractive setting; dull blue
rugs and draperies combined with
cream color and gray woodwork and
softglowing inverted lights. Models
for afternoon and street wear are
shown in great variety. A notable
feature is the new skirt, the over
skirt Of which is very wide-and,
whisper it, sometimes wired-and
trimmed with broad bands of velvet
edged with fur. One striking cos
tune has rather tight bodice of
black chiffon velvet in the long wasted
effect, with wide skirt of satin
adorned with two five-inch bands of
black velvet and edged with skunk.
A skunk band finishes the bottom of
the skirt proper, which is very mar
row. The overskirt is actually volum-
nous, being shirred to the skirt
proper at the line of the hips.
The new green, called mysterious
green" perhaps because it is so dark
and quiet, is the color of a chiffon
velvet three-piece suit, which follows
the lines of the one described above.
The blouse is of dark green chiffon,
embroidered in a Persian pattern and
trimmed with bands of fox fur. The
same fur trims the short Jacket and
the skirt. The smartest suits are
featuring the short coat, though many
long models of the redingote variety
are in evidence.
Evening gowns combine transpar-
ent materials with velvet and fur
with most satisfying results. The new
dancing frocks are short. Some OF
them clear the ground by at least six
inches. Pale-colored gowns have In
a measure superseded the black and
white effects which were so popular
last season.
Afternoon frocks are of broadtail
plush, velvet or broadeloth, combined
with chiffon or net Guimpe effects
are popular. Sheer net sleeves offer
sharp contrasts to heavy
bodices.
Some exquisite models are shown in
the millinery department, from the
chic little tailored hat for street wear
to the plumed affair for dress occa-
sions. Picture hats, with wide, irrcg-
ular brims and masses of black or
pale-colored ostrich plumes, are very
much in evidence.
The entire store has taken on gala
appearance. The moderate-price pol
icy prevails in all departments. On
the first floor are Fascinating displays
of the newest notions in handbags
vanity cases, combs, mirrors and the
like. The neckwear exhibit is also
attracting a great deal of attention.

The charge of perjury in connec-

claimed he discovered by personal in

been published.
He disappeared from the city sud-
denly about three weeks after his
marriage, when questioned about the
information given when the license
was obtained. He had sworn that he
never had been married, when In
fact, 1t is said, he had been married
before and divorced.

$4025 and had given in return a
check for $50, which proved no good
