CROWDSTARTsFOR
TRIP OVER COUNTY
SEVERAL AUTO LOADS OF BOOST
Frs TOURING COUNTRY FOR
INSTITUTE.

Several auto loads of farmers and
Ottumwans left the rooms of the
Commercial association about $3.50
this morning for trip over all OF
the roads in the county. The purpose
of the visit is to call on every farmer
and acquaint him with the coming
Farmers Institute and Live Stock
show that will hold forth in Ottumwa
during the week of October to 10.
A large number participated in the
trip and before leaving were ad-
dressed by Charles Mast in behalf OF
the dual agricultural exhibit, who told
them of the object of the visit and
what was planned to be done. Mr..
Mast stated that every farmer in the
county would be seen if possible while
the cars were touring and each made
aware of the Importance of the insti.
tute and stock show. Every person en-
gagged in farming Is to be solicited to
bring in something to exhibit and to
get interested in the movement that
is being promoted for the good of the
farmers. He also stated that subscrip.
ton blanks would be taken in each
car and those called on will be asked
to subscribe to the movement as
about $1,000 is needed to make the
venture a success as planned by those
in charge. He stated that the pre-.
miums to be given away at the com.
bination exhibit will cost some 5000
and a premium list will be given each
farmer.
The cars were divided in such a
manner that someone from each town
ship led the way for the visitors to
his neighborhcod and in this manner
time was saved and more persons seen
than if a stranger was directing the
route

GOT LITTLE BOOZE
BUT PLENTY OF FUN

A number of searches for booze
made Saturday afternoon by Chief
Gallagher were not prolific of much
success insofar as liquor Is concerned,
but fun and interest was sufficient to
make up for the lack of refreshment
found. The antics and capers of
those suspected led the chief to sup
pose that his visits were but little
too late to locate the object of his
search
The first stop was made at 315 East
Main street, where. having to remove

with varying quantities of beer in
them. No men were found here, how
ever. and the evidence of sale was
lacking. Going up to the next floor
he was greeted by white and colored
man very busily engaged in sweep
ing the rooms.
He next halted block east, at the
rear of building in the 400 block.
Here he found some men throwing
something over the fence into the ad-
joining cellar Before he reached the
men they made their escape into the
building. closely followed by Chief
Gallagher, who found them industri-
ously playing a game of pool when he
reached the inside.
A stop was made in the 600 block
where the officer found twenty-five
bottles of brew, which he broke on

EASTERN FREIGHT
RATE CASE REOPENED

Washington, D. c., Sept. 21.-The
interstate commerce commission to.
day decided to reopen the eastern ad.
vance rate case and will begin hear.
ings here on October 10. A formal or.
der to that effect was prepared.
The railroads asked for reopening
not upon the showing they made at
the hearings prior to the decision, but
upon conditions which the managers
say have become apparent since.
The showing of the roads for June,
which was not available when the
case was before the commission last
time, and the exigencies which have
been thrust upon them by the Euro
pean war with the attending difficult
ties Of getting new capital and the
falling off in export traffic were cited
as the principal reasons why the case
should be reopened.
Shippers organizations which have
previously fought the increase have
given notice they will oppose further
advances

JEWEL THIEVES N :
CLUTCHES OF LAW
ARREST OF THREE MEN AFTER
TERRIFIC STRUGGLE PUTS
WHOLE GANG IN JAIL.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-Three men be-
lieved to be the remainder of the
quintet which robbed Mrs. Nellie Clark
OF jewelry valued at 100000 at Kan
kakee, last week were arrested here
today.
On their persons the police found
diamonds valued at $4,000 and $4,000
In currency, believed by the police to
represent the proceeds of the sale of
part of the jewelry.
Two alleged members of the gang
were captured near Momence last Sat
urday and with today's capture, the
police think the entire gang is under
arrest and they hope to trace the dis
posal of all the stolen property.
Lively fighting took place before the
capture of the last three men was &C
complished. They were overpowered
in the rear room of saloon after a
five minute struggle with the police.
The three men were unarmed but
made desperate resistance and had
to be beaten nearly unconscious. Their

WOMAN WANTS Kinks
IN THE CHURCHES

| Muscatine, Sept. 21.-"A Better Mus
cat:ne" is the new battle cry of local
social workers who have just launched
| social service movement that prom.
| Uses to be the most concerted and
greatest of its kind in the city's his.
| tory.
Prominent business men are back
Of the project with Miss Mary Robert.
son, secretary of the Young Wom-
ems Christian association, at the head.
An ambitious program has already
been outlined, which, if carried to a
successful elimination, will witness
the establishment of recreation places
for the young men and young women
of Muscatine and augurs we'll for the
future morality of the present gen
Grafton as we'll as for those to come.
The converting of church Easements
into roller skating Kinks is one of the
undertakings proposed. This, 1t Is con-
tended, will afford the young people an
opportunity to make use of their sur
plus nervous energy in wholesome
and recreative way.
The proposals to institute such r.rks
in the church easements has gained
the approval of prominent church
workers who are enthusiastic over the
project. Leading laymen of the First
Methodist Episcopal church, the new
$115 1000 edifice which was erected last
year, are among the strongest propo-
nents of establishing roller-skating
rink in the spacious basement of that
church.
The Methodist church basement it
is believed would make an ideal rink.
1t is sufficiently commodious to at
ford space for large number. One or
two other church Easements are also
considered for such purpose but they
will in all probability be utilized for
other purposes in the scheme of events
as now outlined.
Bringing the young people into
closer contact with the church is the
main objective goal of the social Scr
vice workers and it Is believed by at
fording them an opportunity to con-
gregate where innocent pleasures may
be enjoyed will tend to a better condi-
ton of morals in Muscatine.

RESIDENTS HAVE
LARGE PETITION
MAJORITY OF PEOPLE LIVING
ALONG RIVER ARE ANXIOUS
TO HAVE NEW ROAD.

The majority of the people who
live along the route of the proposed
roadway following the Des Moines riv'
err to Chillicothe are enthusiastic for
the proposition and are going after
| it hard.
One of the largest road petitions
ever presented in the history of Wa,
pello county was shown to the board
of supervisors during the present ses.
sion and it contained almost 500
names. These were from farmers and
business men alike and they are all
anxious to see the matter carry and
for Wapello county to have a good,
substantial roadway between Ottum-
wa and Chillicothe with out having to
cut through the hilly section.
The next step in the matter is for
the county auditor to appoint COM
missioner This. Auditor Stevens
says he will do within few days and
it shall be the commissioners bust
ness to go over the ground, taking
with him surveyor II he wishes TO
locate the roadway and if he sees fit
to recommend to the board that 1t
be established. This done the super
visors then go ahead and commence
operations for the permanent con-
structing of the highway.
A protest has been filed with the
auditor by few of the residents who
own property along the proposed
route. The grounds on which they
base their petition is that 1t would
cost the tax payers much less to fix up
the present roadway than to open a
new one and that there would be GER
tain times when the proposed route
would he nractically imnasSahle

TWO CHILDREN
DRINK GASOLINE

Marshalltown, Sept. 21.-Two babies
one of this city and another of Taylor
township, had close calls from death
when they drank gasoline. One of the
victims was Josephine, the three year
old daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. August
IN. Kriebs; the other, Elizabeth, the
twenty months old daughter Of Mrs.
Mary Dawson, three and one-half
miles northwest of the city.
The victims were both fortunate in
having help close at hand. In the
case of the little Kriebs girl physicians
were secured post haste, and the use
of stomach pump soon removed the
child from danger.
A grocery delivery boy left the can
of gasoline on the back porch at the
Kriebs home, and there little Jose
phine found it. With a child's curl
osity the little one unscrewed the top
of the can, placed her mouth to the
hole, and tipped the can. The liquid
gushed forth with such force that con-
siderable of it was forced down the
child's throat. The babe went into
commissions almost Immediately. The
use of the pump and the fact that the
babe had just eaten hearty dinner,
both contributed to the saving Of the
child's life. The babe is now consider
ed out Of danger
In the case of the little Dawson girl
medical assistance was not so close at
hand, and home remedies had to be
applied before the doctor arrived.
These saved the childs life.
The babes mother, young widow,
and school teacher at Luray, was in
this city at the county fair. Mrs. D.
M. Cakerice, a neighbor, takes care of
the babe while it's mother is in
school, and had the child,
Mrs. Cakerice had been using gaso'
line out of doors, cleaning some
clothes. Finishing her work, at about
S o'clock, she set the tumbler, contain.
ing about two inches of the fluid, on a
washing machine. The babe toddled
to the machine while Mrs. Cakerice
was busy getting supper, and drained
the glass, doubtless thinking it was
water.
Mrs. Cakerice telephoned for doc
