ROY PEAsE IS IN
COURT ONCE MORE
MAN WHO HAS BEEN IN HANDS
OF LAW SEVERAL TIMES
LATELY GETS 80 DAYS.

Roy Pease has again fallen into the
hands of the law and this morning
was committed to the Wapello county
jail for thirty day sentence by JUS
tice H. c.. Nosler, upon the charge of
larceny.
Pease has been in court several
times within the past few months and
this time he is charged with stealing
horse blanket, rain coat and buggy
whip from J. H. Path. 1t is alleged
that he went to his home Sunday
morning with the goods and being in
an intoxicated condition, is said ! to
have engaged in little alteration
with his wife with the result that he
was ordered from the place. He is
then said to have loaded the articles
which he is accused of stealing, to-
gether with an old trunk and broken
down rocking chair, into rambling
oil wagon to which was hitched a
horse that appeared to be lacking prop
err nourishment. With this parapher.
MALTA he started out to leave home.
Before he had gone far though, he
was apprehended by Mr.. Path and an
officer who took the man into custody.
Pease has had number of sessions in
the courts lately, including police, JUS
tice and district. A few months ago
he was arrested upon the charge Of
stealing some harness and was bound
over to the district court grand jury
by Justice H. C. Nosler An indictment
was not returned against him and he
was released after serving several
weeks in Jail. A short time ago the
man was in Nosler's court upon infor-
nation filed by his wife which charged
him with assault; but this action was
finally settled and dismissed by the
principals in the case

SING HYMNS OF
THE BLIND POETESS

Fairfield, Nov 30-Hundreds of peo-
pie from the various walks of life paid
tribute to the life and character of
the blind potess'' Fanny J. Crosby,
Sunday evening at the First Presbyter-
ian church, when a special song and
story service was held and the hour
devoted to singing Miss Crosby's
hymns, only few of the more popu-
Lar. ones being selected for the service.
DR.. Charles Preston Foreman, pas
tor of the church gave a short but in
teresting sketch of the life and the
work of this famous hymn writer who
is still among the living. The choir
of the church rendered two of Miss
Crosby's hymns as anthems. Thy
Word Have Hid in Ny Heart and
'The Bright Forever" These were
given by the choir because they were
not familiar enough for the entire
audience to render them. Among the
fayorites of the evening were the fol-
lowing Blessed Assurance Saved
by Grace Rescue the Perishing,"
pass Me Not o, Gentle Savior"
Draw Me Nearer" The service was
one of the best praise services to be
given in Fairfield for sometime.

BRITISH WAR LOAN
OVER : SUBSCRIBED

London, Nov. %. Chancellor of
the Exchequer Lloyd-George an
nounced in the house of commons
today that the war loan of G350, 0O0,-
900 ($1 ,750,OOO,O0O) had been greatly
over-subscribed.
The chancellor said feature of the
loan was the enormous number of in
dividuals, totalling nearly 100000, who
had made application for small sums.
These, he declared, would receive the
first allotments.
The chancellor stated that the finan-
cial deadlock which followed the out
break of the war was due to inability
to collect outstanding debts abroad.
AS an instance Mr.. Lloyd-George re-
ferred to the United States, which, he
said, owed Great Britain about a thou
sand millions sterling ($5,000,000,0 00),
"But We could do no business" he
added.

CAMEL s HAIR" BRUSHES
Ihe very Best of Them Are Made
From Squirrels Tails


1t may sound rather strange. hut If
is nevertheless true that no brushes are
ever made of camel s hair, vet they
are asked for daily and sold as such.
There are very many kinds of hair
used in the making of "camel's hair''
brushes, such as bear, fox, rabbit, SOUR
rel, ETC., and, indeed, one authority
states that over $50 sorts of brushes
are known as camel s hair brushes.
but there is only one definition accented
by the British Board of Trade. e..
"eamel's hair brushes made from
squirrel tails, these being the best and
the most expensive.
Real camel s hair is absolutely use
less for making brushes and resembles
soft tow of yellowIbrownis color.
The name of camel is the only part
which could be used, and possibly a
dozen brushes could be made from one
name.
AS a matter of fact. there are only
two specimens of brushes made from
the actual hair of camel in existence.
The reason for the term "camel s hair"
is the fact that man named Camel
was the first one to make these finer
kind of brushes, and they became gem
orally known as "real camel g hair
brushes. London Answers.

S192,4OO bonds MATURE
Record Amount Will Be Paid Out by
the City for Their Redemption
on January 2

The greatest number of city bonds
ever redeemed at one calling will be
taken up beginning with January 2,
when $192,400 will be distributed
among the several hundred holders of
such securities. That amount exceeds
the previous high water mark for bond
redemption by something like $4,000.
The Sinking Fund Commissioners
will on Monday next send out a call
for $4,000 street paving bonds; ST.
500 street grading bonds, and $102,-
400 water bonds. The water bonds
are of the twenty year series which
were floated in 1895, while the others
represent the certificates given to CON
tractors at the completion of city paw
ing and grading jobs.
The water bonds will be redeemed
with money which annually was ap.
propriated to the sinking funds while
the paving and grading bonds will be
redeemed out of assessments paid into
the treasury by property owners during
the last six months.
These bonds all will mature and
cease bearing interest on January l.,
1915, and there will be no financial
advantage to the holders to retain them
an preference to having them cashed.

ACTUAL HOME Relief
WORK is BEGUN TO-DAY
Headquarters at South Front Street
Gives Out the First Materials to
Persons Who Will Be Paid for Their
Labors

First relief work-home relief, at
that was done by the Home and War
Relief Association this morning. Nat
urally it was the Home Relief Division
which did it, though the Red Cross.
General Supply and Foreign Relief Di-
visions were represented.
A plainly dressed woman who had
been sitting in one of the two second
story rooms of headquarters at South
Front street for few minutes was the
first recipient of aid. A division chief
pleasantly invited her into the supplies
room, where another division head
passed out sufficient clothing blanks
(unsewn clotIhing) to provide her with
several days's work. Her place was ta-
ken by another worker, who received
like treatment from the headquarters
force, and so the procession continued
all day.
Supplies sufficient for week S work
for practically all those applicants now
listed are on hand at headquarters. The
articles to be made from these supplies
include eight dozen surgical shirts, 1873
gowns, AZ woman's petticoats, doz-
en- children IS gowns, 6 dozen childrens 8
shirts and 12 dozen woman's IS gowns.
The "blanks" are cut out by ma
chinery at the Blough Manufacturing
Company, Deft fingers of department
heads or committeeman sort them into
individual garment parts, which are
given to workers throughout the city
who have been recommended by the
Associated Charities. Only persons so
recommended can obtain work. A limit
of SO week for each worker has been
set, as the demand for work threatens
to outrun the available funds.
The Home Relief Division, second
floor, which has charge of giving out
work to women of the city, announced
these hours:
Open to IL, 2 to 8. Close at noon
Saturdays. Materials to be given out
Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Work to be returned Thursdays, Fridays
and Saturdays.

School Board Passes Superintendent
Downes' recommendations for
Eight Grades

After five years of effort, City Su-
perintendent F. E. Downes last night
succeeded in having the Harrisburg
School Board pass his recommendation
eliminating the ninth grade, making the
course below the high schools, eight
years, four in the primary and four in
the grammar grades.
Mr.. Downes' plan is to begin the
new course of study in September,
1915, eliminating the ninth grade after
June, 1915. Promotions will be semi
annual, the mid-year one being in
formal, the first one occurring in Feb.
ruary, 1917. The present ninth grade
teachers will be absorbed in the grades
below and about three years will he re.
quired to effect the complete change.
President Harry A. Boyer named his
committees last night. There is but
one change from last year. Harry NJ

for Mr.. Boyer on the 156th ballot last

HOMEGROWN CHRISTMAS
Trees NOW IN MARKETS
Turkeys Sell at 20 Cents, Live, and 35
Gents, Dressed-Plenty of Wreaths
Are offered For Holiday Season
Market Baskets Bulge

Turkeys we're rather scarce in the
markets this morning but as there was
no great demand for them thus far in
advance of Christmas, very few people
were disappointed. The turkeys that
were on the market sold at 25 cents a
pound live weight, or 35 cents dressed.
The scarcity was explained in differ
ent ways. Some farmers said they were
afraid to kill many of the birds on ac-
count of the way they sold before
Thanksgiving.
Homegrown Christmas trees could
be bought from five cents, for baby
trees, on up to full grown fathers at
one dollar apiece. Wreaths of all de-
scriptions flooded the markets, selling
as low, in many cases, as five cents
apiece. There was plenty Of holly, rat
tails and holy candles sold in sprays at
ten cents spray.
According to the oyster men, most
of the people of Harrisburg are going
to feast on oysters, either in stews,
frys or "stuffing' on Christmas, as
they say that the demand for them is
unusually heavy
BY the looks of the market baskets
this morning no person is going to quit
eating on account of "hard times, -
