Thinks Dead Man
May Beer, Brother

| Ed Butler, 2114 North Main street,
! ing to try and learn If the unknown
! man who was killed Aug. 20 by a
! Northwestern train two and three
quarter miles west of Lamoille was
his brother W. l.. Butler, formerly of
Dubuque. From both Sheriff j. G. Ed
! gar and the undertaken who buried the
/ fragments of the body, Butler sought
some clue If identification that would
establish the dead man as his brother.
4 information however. Is so meager
regarding the description Of the dead
man. that it is not probable that the
search will be rewarded. After exam
ming scrap of the clothing, a belt, a
few small coins. and key belonging to
! the dead man. which Sheriff Edgar has
in his possession. Butler did not think
that the man killed could be his
brother
The strongest clue on which he was
hoping to establish the identity was the
color of the dead mans hair 1t is
described as reddish brown. or auburn,
and Butler says his brothers hair was
reddish.
Because of the mangled condition of
the body. and the Disagreement of the
face. it was not possible to gather an
Ineligible description of the dead man.
Buffers uncle. j. 4. Lacey of Cen
trail City, received few weeks ago a
post card w. d. Butler had written
from Minnesota, in which Butler said
he was coming into this part of the
state. Since then no word has been re-
ceived from him. and these two facts
led the family to fear that the dead
man might he the one for whom they
are searching.
4 short time ago Coroner +. H..
Boucher received letter from Lacey
in which he asked if the dead man
Wore clothes that bore the label of a
dealer in either Springfield or Marshall,
Mimi. Ed Butter said his brother had
been working in the harvest fields of
Minnesota. and that when he was last
heard from he had been in both
Spring field and Marshall short time
before. The only garment worn by the
man that was not mutilated was the
coat, hut it had no marks on it thai
would aid in Identification.

] remember, / remember,
The house where | was born:
My father took it in exchange
For twenty acres corn.
1t seemed a bargain sure enough
You would have traded, too,
But had we that much corn today
We'd seek the avenue.
i remember, l remember,
That, though we owned COW,
We weren't then considered rich
Like folks who have 'em now.
My mother churned the yellow cream,
And when the butter came,
We traded it for calico
1t never made US vain.

But no one knew it then.

And never once said Thanks"

A Fine Showing.

The annual statement of the Win

in this issue, and shows an exception
ally fiourishing condition. Following
are some pertinent facts regarding
it. The bank has quick assets of
over 100000. Total assets of near
ly $2,00O,000, which in fact, since
the annual statement, have passed
the 100000 mark. Conservative
policy as indicated by reserve ac-
count set aside out of the profits to

and fixtures account in construction
of new building to profit and loss.
The healtyh conditions Is indicated
by the fact that there are no redis-

caates of deposit issued for borrowed
money; and no obligation of direc-
tors or officers held by bank. The
bank plans on joining the currency

 storm of indignation has ben
 aroused in South Germany. and. in
 deed, throughout the empire by the
 foolish attack on Bavarian courage made at the meeting of the Prussian league. The indignation will, of course,
 react very strongly on the Zabern de- bate in the Reichstag because the in discretion comes from the very party which by it's extreme attitude over the Zabern incidents has already excited the wrath of the majority of Germans. It was a certain retired General von Kracht who accused the Bava- . ran troops of coWardice in the , F'ranco-German war. comparing them ] very much to their disadvantage to the Prussians. The Bavarian "Cour- 1 fer indigantly repels his accusation, | and retorts with a "tu quoque" by
 reminding him of the panic of Prus- : sian troops at GravelOtte. Does not l the Prussian general it asks 'un- Cerstand the dangerous character 6f such "reminiscences? Does he not
 know that it is thanks exactly to l such incidents as this that the de- l riorable barrier between North and | South Germany has never disap-
 peared?' Other papers, though less
 cutting, are not less severe. The Munich 'Neueste Nachrichten'' re- l'ukes the indiscretions at the Prus-
 sian league meeting, and observes | that they will draw more ridicule i than indignation. "Germania'' Ser i lin) says that not only Bavaria. but all South Germany has been insulted The "Freissinigo Zeitung' infers that | the Prussians of the extreme righ,

COLOGNE HAS
 UGLY SCANDAL
Revelations Produced in the Trial for Libel Show Ap- palling .Corru ption to Honeycomb Police Svs- tenn of European City
(By Bernard Fischer.)

BERLIN, Feb. 14-Extraordinary revelations of police corruption were made at trial which was brought to d close at Cologne last Saturday.
 The nominal defendant in the case was a journalist named Sollman, who
 is the editor of the socialist "Rhein-
 sche Zeitung,' and he was actually sentenced on more or less formal grounds to pay fine of 800 marks for labelling the police and the department of the public prosecutor but on the main points both the evidence and the judgment completely justified the ar ticles which formed the substance of the charge Indeed, the court express lv admitted that four out of the six police inspectors of Cologne and two commissioners of police had accepted bribes
 The facts proved were of an astound- ing character. It was shown to be quite a common thing for persons who were seeking concessions for restau-
 rants. cafes. or dancing halls to send
 to police inspectors or their wives luncheon hampers with 10O-mark
 notes concealed in them
 On one occasion an inspector received from a concession hunter a basket con- taining 100 or 150 bottles of wine. Un- disguised gifts of money were also proved to have been by no means un- common. Moreover, it was testified
 that police officials were entertained to ! champagne carousals by persons anxious to concliate their favor. The race committee of the local race
 course paid a grant of $125 to the police ] for preventing the bookmakers Gan il- | legal profession in Germany from pur- | suing business on the course. The bookmakers went one better and paid a few dollars more to be allowed to con- l tinue. Another case referred to an in
 quiry by the Berlin police as to the whereabouts of young lady who was thought to have eloped. The police at l Cologne found her. but when the man | with whom she had eloped offered to
 pay s250 they told the police at Berlin
 that their search had been fruitless. | Not less astonishing was the condi-
 tions of affairs shown to exist among :, the criminal police. Several witnesses l frankly admitted that in cases of rob- 1 bery the, police were dependant upon the pecuniary support of the sufferers
