F. KRAUSE ACCUSED
 OF KIDNAPPING

- JUNEAU, Nov. 5.-An arrest for the bold Kidnapping of William Christie, an amalgamatOr at the "7OO" mill, Treadwell, Saturday, is hourly expected. This morning a warrant was issued for Edward Krause of Petersburg, whom the of ficers allege, masqueraded as "Mil- Ter" when he served a fake subpoena on Christie and subsequently, disap- peared with the Treadwell man. The charge is that of unlawfully repre- senting himself as an officer of the peace.
 There were many developments in the case overnight. It is said that Krause is an ardent admirer of Mrs. Christie. that he was incenSed when she married Christie in Juneau a month ago, and that he hated Chris tie because Christie is a ScOtchman. Krause is a German. Mrs. Christie was formerly Mrs. Celia Gesekus. Since the death, a year ago, of Gese- kus, who was killed in a hunting ac- cident, KrauSe has paid Mrs. Gese- bus-Christie marked attention. Mrs. Christie said yesterady; "The min ute Billie was kidnapped, thought first of Krause. He and I have been friendly and his attitude toward me has always been that of a gentle man."
 The mystery launch in which the abductor of Christie set out from the Treadwell wharf, is said to have beer found up the channel toward Salmon creek, but no one was in it. Of

SEWARD LADY'S NEPHEW
 MEETS AN AWFUL DEATH
Burned Alive by Gasoline While Working at an Auto in
 Illinois.

Freeman Sweet, nephew of Mrs. Cooper, of Cooper's cafe, met with a horrible death on the 23rd of October at Shipman Illinois, when he was lit erally burned alive by gasoline. The news was conveyed to Mrs. Cooper on the last mail. The unfortunate young man was only twenty years of age and had been married only four or five months before the fatal ac- cident occurred.
 He was engaged filling the tank of the automobile with gasoline and left the side lights without extingu- ishing them. Some of the gasoline spattered on one of the lights and spread to the can. The victims clothes caught fire, the automobile blazed up and poor Freeman Sweet met death quickly.

MoRAINES AND DREDGES
Dawson News)

Human moraines are formed by the operations of dredges in the North. The tailing heap blocks up and interrupts the course of the ori- ginal stream, and produces a series of more or less stagnant pools in the loops it makes in it's meanderings along the sides of the gully. If the latter is broad there may be two or three parallel embankments, with pools of muddy water between them amid which the stream has to find its way as best it can. The mud that IS washed out in the process lodges ;n these lagoon and buries the bases Of the stony ridges. This curious effect of gold-dredging will last for cen turies and it may puzzle some future g,ologist to account for its origin.

BOTH HAVE PLATFORMS
One Would Make All Schools Step
ping Stones to Universities and
Other Would Enforce Rural
Education Scheme.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Jan. 2.-Governor
George w. Clarke is devoting all OF
his spare time now preparing his
message to the legislature. He hopes
to have this completed in another ten
days as the legislature convenes two
weeks from today.
In addition to his message the gov
ernor has some other worries, too. BE
must make several appointments for
confirmation by the senate. The best
plum the governor has at his disposal
this winter is that OF superintendent
Iof public instruction.
Thus far only two active candidates
are in the field These are A. NJ. De-
voc of Garner, and P. E. McClenahan
,of Iowa City. Mt. McClenahan is
high school inspector for the state
board of education. The present SUI
perintendent, it is understood, is bas-
ing his hope of appointment on the
proposition that he viii carry out the
rural education scheme outlined in
numerous lars enacted by the last as
sembly. Mr. nehemiah, 1t is under
stood, proposes to build up all the
schools of the state on the theory that
they are stepping stones to the higher
educational institutions. Mr.. Deyoe
believes that the rural school should
afford facilities for the pupil to edu-
cate himself for his LIES work there
rather than at an agricultural college
or university.
The governor also must appoint an
Insurance commissioner. This posi-
ton was created by the last legislature
I and is held now by Emory H. English.
1t is understood that the governor will
submit Mr. English's name to the leg

One member to the state board OF

It was a long time ago when the

and thirty years ago. 1t is said he
was well educated man, an accom-
plished writer and conversatioaalist.
History further states IN this con-
nection. that Peosta, an Indian sQuaw,
wife of a prominent Fox warrior, had,
IN 1850, discovered lead within the
present limits OF the city OF Dubuque.
Dubuque was young, talented and
shrewG, but twenty-five years old, and
he soon succeeded in pursuading the
indians to grant him the EXCLUSIVES

Basis of III Per Cent is De-

Keokuk has been put on parity

Quincy. Hannibal and Louisiana, and
will put all river towns from Keokuk

comment from politicians. His state

which brought TO a sudden close the
