Norfolk. Va. May 24.--"Blind

swallowed the evidence on several oc-

Powers, but the teli-tale two Bit
piece. which has resulted in the ar
rest of a number of walking bar
rooms before. was on hand to get
Dennis In bad.
Dennis had gathered a tovial gang
around him at 513 Turner's Court
and spotter was sent to purchase a
| halfpint with a marked coin. few
| minutes later Patroimen Powers and
Morrisette knocked at the door, and
as II did not open quickly enough,
Patrolman Powers opened 1t and
started in. Dennis saw the blue cap,
and with almost human intelligence he
made a move TO get rid of the change
he knew must be on him. The widow
was shut tight, and the door was the
only resort, so he let fly with mis-
celianeous assortment of pennies,
nickels. dimes and quarters, full in the
face of the astonished Powers. When
the officer finished picking up the
money he found the marked quarter
and Dennis was put on the slate on
charges of selling liquor on Sunday
and without License.
James Taylor, another colored

the drop, but before he released his
hold on the sill he looked down. The
ground looked a long way off, and he

he held on until Detective Hanbury
came up and pulled him in. But there
was still some fight left in James. and
he made break for the stairway,
! only to he stopped by the officer.
In desperation James grabbed the
detective by the throat Detective

Sisters Will Giving Them Eighty
Acres Each Invalid.

Steamboat Rock, Ia, Nov. 29.-
Previous to the death of the late Mrs.
Johns, a resident OF Hardin county
for many years, she executed will
bequ eathing to her brothers, Frank
and Nathan Rainsbarger, eighty
acres of land, portions of the Johns
farms.
Exception was taken to the will
by other members Of the family, and
the court was appealed to to decide
the matter of the legality Of the will,
it having been demonstrated that
Mrs. Johns had prepared will some
eighteen years previous.
The decision OF Judge Wright was
that the previously made will should
stand, and by reason of the fact the
eighty acres which would have gone
to the brothers, will not go to them.
They recently were paroled from
prison after serving twenty-seven
years for a murder it is doubtful II
they committed. They depended on
the bequest Of their sister to keep
them in their old age.

THE ALLIES SOON TO
START A new OFFENSIVE

paign raised 100000 for Y. M.
G. A. in one day; this city could dc
proportionally as much and secure
the $4,000 left for the community
good.
In larger cities Y. M. c. A. has
flourished but there are those who
think that in city of 5000 the
greatest good to the most people can
be accomplished by a community
house where men, women, boys and
girls would receive mutual benefit.
Of course, a Community House,
in a large city has diversity of di-
rected efforts not to be undertaken
in this city, but one thing is in use
in Des Moines in the Community
House which would be of great bene-
fit in this or any other town. That
is an equipped laundry with facili-
ties for half a dozen women to wash
at the same time. Not only is the
washing quickly and conveniently
done, but dryer is also established
in which the washings each have
their separate compartments. For
washerwomen who have crowded
little homes and no place to dry
their clbthes in bad weather the
place is a god-send. A very small
fee is charged for the use of the
laundry, the. women taking their
turns by days. !. In the evenings,
classes of domestic science are held
two or three times week, the SER
vices OF a domestic science teacher
requisitioned. Some classes are for
women, others for young girls.
Glasses in sewing are also arranged
for and the place is of practical
benefit to all who will avail them
selves of it. d.
The matter will be laid before the
clubs OF the city this week for or
ganized ticket. selling for the Rose
Maiden. The choral club is COM
posed OF about thirty men and wo-
men from every choir in the city,
Catholic and Protestant, and the
training received under the leader
ship of Mrs. o. J. Henderson is
helpful to all. The Rose Maiden is
a cantata upon which the club has
been working all summer and the
rendition of the same will interest
and please more nearly every person
in the city, than any amateur per-
formance given here for years.
There will be little expense con-
nected with giving the cantata. SO
cents admission will be charged to
all. and the proceeds given for the
common good. .s
