DARING PRISONER
CAUGHT IN WEST
Man Who Laughs at Jail Walls, safe
m san Quentin for
the Present.

Harvey Lee, gunman, credited with
being the most daring criminal that
ever operated in Iowa. is safe In San
Quentin. the California state prison,
according to news received by Ward
en- Sanders, at FIT. Madison.
Peace officers all over the state will
breathe easier when they receive the
news that Lee is captured. While he
has not confined his activities entire.
ly to Iowa, a large part Of them have
been in this state. and whenever a
particularly daring burglsry is per-
Ipetrated, astute sleuths have gotten
the habit OF assuming he is responsible
for It,
Three years ago Lee vas confined
in the county jail at Marion. Linn
county. He was on his way to the
lpenitentiary at that time. Friends, of
whom he never seems to be lacking,
smuggled dynamite to him In his cell,
and he blew out one side of the jail
with the explosive. He then escaped
in the face Of revolver fire by q
possee of Cedar Rapids officers, one
of whom was killed by shot he fired.
Lee was recaptured within few
months, and was sentence4 to serve
thirty-five years at Fort Madison.
About year ago he escaped, going
over the prison wall.
Though he has been discovered" in
4 nf ,aIo In ~ 1

actually placed behind the bars. The
Iowa Bankers association has been
seeking him above almost any yegg

ckache a Warning
You Should Heed
Is One Of The First signs Of Kidney
Troubles, Y Neglected, Ser
ous Diseases Follow.

No one can be well and healthy I'M
less the kidneys work properly and
keep the blood pure. When they be-
come clogged up and inactive, nature
has a way Of warning you.
Backache Is one Of the first symp-
toms. You may also be troubled with
disagreeable, annoying bladder dis,
orders; have attacks of lumbago or
rheumatism; become nervous, tired,
and feel all worn-out: puffy swellings
show under the eyes or In the feet
and ankles; and many other symptoms
are noticed. If they are neglected,
dropsy, diabetes, or Bright's disease,
which SO often prove fatal, may result.
1t is not only dangerous, but need
less for you to suffer and endure the
fortunes Of these troubles, for the new
discovery, Croxone, quickly ana sure
ly ends all such misery.
There is no more effective remedy
known for the prompt cure Of all such
troubles than this new, scientific prep
aration, because it removes the. cause.
| 1t soaks right into the kidneys. through
the walls and Innings; cleans out the
clogged up pores; neutralizes and dis
solves the poisonous uric acid and
| waste matter that lodge in tho Joints
and muscles and cause those terrible
rheumatic pains, and makes the kid.
neys filter and sift the poison out OF
the blood and drive 1t from the sys-
TEN.
You will find Croxone different from
all other remedies. There Is moth
ing else on earth like It, Ii IL SO pre-
pared that II is. practica1ly impossible
to take tt into the human system with
out results.
You can secure an original package
of Croxone at tri'ling cost from any
! first-class drug store. All druggists
are authorized to personally return
the purchase price IL Croxone should
fail in a single case. Three doses a
day for few days Is often all that is
ever needed to cure the worst back
ache, relieve rheumatic pains, or over
come urinary disorders.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Feb. 16-Each

Her memory of dates, events ana

virtue, when woman was gracious and
gentle and feminine styles were de-
signed not SO much to attract men.
Notions OF today are nothing but
folly" she said. "All is pomp and os-
tentation. The slit skirt, the tango
and the holiness of women cannot
understand and | condemn them all"
Asked for her opinion as to equal
suffrage, Mrs. Wash held up her
hands in horror.
That's thu worst proposition Of all
in the so-called enlightened days.
she declared. "Woman's sphere is the
home. She can do more there than
by running round thu streets pulling
for votes. A woman can't be a good
wife and mother and a suffragist at
the same time"

Mclaughlin Against
Wilding Tennis Plan

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14--Mau-
rice Mclaughlin, Americas greatest
tennis player, disagrees with Antho-
ny Wilding, OF Australia, champion
Of the world, on the subject of the
one serve game.
Wilding. according to press dis
patches, is in favor of modifying the
tennis serving rule so that only one
stroke is permitted. The Australian
believes the change would speed up
the play. Mclaughlin thinks differ
emily.
ITO curtail a server to one chance
would reduce by half this speed and
placement work." he said. THE only
way in which the game could be said
to be quickened by the innovation
would be that II would take less time
for a set. But / take 1t Wllding does
not aim at his result, but an i'm
provement In the quality of the tennis
itself
There never has been any COM
plant OF the length OF time occupied
by a game. At present a server, as a
rule, takes more risk with his first
shot than with the iecond. No good
player hits wildly with a view Il

Federals Must Get in Gotham
Courts Won't Sustain Mogu1s

ciple, if success is hoped for. that
must form the basic foundation of
the new organization. 1t is absolutely
necessary that the Federal League
get a foothold in New York. That
city in the past has proved the saliva
ton of the National in times of dis
tress, and will so again if the occa-
sion requires it. With a winning
team in Gotham, the Federals might
tide over their period of incubation.
The New York fan, however, wants
the best there is. Give him medi-
OGRE team and he remains at home.
Then again, with the tremendous
population of the metropolis, there is
always a chance that patronage can
be secured even to a losing cause.
That's why it's so important to the
cause and so essential to the success
OF the new league that New York be
numbered among it's members.
AS we stated what could have been
accomplished twelve years ago with a
master hand at the helm is some
thing quite different to contemplate
just now. The towns worth mention
ing are all well supplied with base
ball. and the master hand that
steered the ship over the shoals in
those days is lacking-at any rate, we
nave not noted any extreme eXeCu-
tive ability displayed by the new con-
tingent which has thrown down the
gauntlet to organized baseball.
No Court Action for Magnates.
All this rot about going to court to
force the players to live up to the re-
serve clause of their contracts is so
much buncombe. How can the mag
mates hope to have a court sustain
their cause and uphold their contracts
when the player himself has as much
voice in the same as man out in
Africa? The contract is so unjust
and so one sided that we think the
magnates are ashamed themselves to
take it into a court Of record and ask
that it be sustained. The very terms
of 1t border on slavery tactics. and,
secondly, is in direct violation of the
Sherman law, which forbids restraint
of trade.
