Lee Wilbur, of Newcastle, Neb
was perhaps fatally injured when he
was run down by a street car at the
approach to the bridge on Third and
Water streets Wednesday morning. He
had evidently fallen on the track Just
before the first car out on the line
rounded the curve. The fog prevented
the motorman from seeing the man
until the car was upon him. The car
fender struck the man and threw him
between the rails, which fact probably
prevented instant death under the
wheels. He was extricated from under
the car with great difficulty and rushed
to st. JOseph's hospital, where DR.. p
B. Mclaughlin, the service company
physician, is attending him. The mans
body was badly crushed and it is feared
that his life can not be saved.

pensioner of the federal government
The final hearing in the matter of
guardianship of Blanche Teneyck, now
Mrs. Wood and residing in Benton

unsatisfactory; the failure to present
vouchers for expenditures and the eff
forts made to exhaust the wards in
come by lump charges for maintenance
could not be approved. In the final
settlement the court allowed the guard
ian $S5.21, the amount Of pension re-
Fcefved by the guardian was $6S9.20
leaving balance due Mrs. Wood of

Order to Secure Compliance.

Waukon, March 1.-Two small cities
of the middle west have had settle
up day." and merchants and customers
say it's fine. The fire settle day"
was held at Waukon. The Waukon.
merchants organization entered on the
plan after two weeks of thorough ad-
vertising in the newspapers and in bills
distributed from house to house and
farm to farm in the surrounding coun-
try. They then mailed statements to
all their patrons, especially those in
arrears, calling their attention to the
approach of "settle-up week" and de-
failing the plan of the merchants.
The merchants announced that they
had notified all wholesalers and jobbers
with whom they traded of their inten-
ton to use the money paid in to them
by their patrons to pay bills against
them in the hands of the wholesalers,
as well as all other bills outstanding in
the Waukon community; and, in fact,
about half of the money paid out to
factories and producers in and about
Waukon.
The week did not open very rropi-
tiously for the plan, but when two days
had passed nearly 500 bills were count
ed paid. 1t was estimated that there
were about $500 outstanding bills. BY
Wednesday of that week the paying up
movement was under full Roadway, and
the campaign was so pushed that mer-
chants were enabled to remind the
backward debtor with a minimum of
offense.
Have You Paid Your Bill Today"
signs were posted throughout the city,
and the the query was picked up wide
spread by the citizens and applied with
as much freedom as the Have YOU
Registered Today?" query Of pre-pri-
mary politics.
"sIower Players Had to Be Jared"
The general run Of the citizens re-
sponded without difficulty to tbe plan,
but the slow-paying debtors had to be
Jared repeatedly. The merchants
mailed out a bill every day to each OF
their customers who owed accounts Of
long standing The bills were mailed
out on bill heads of the merchants or
ganization. A bureau was established
where protesting citizens could thrash
out their differences with any mer-
chant over any bill the amount. or

bureau, but such work as 1t did was
effective.
The report on the decisions Of this
bureau shows that in almost all the
cases the books Of the merchant We're
right, unless he had been grossly
careless in keeping his hooks, which
proved true in two or three cases. For
getfulness was the cause of 90 per cent

Very Successful.
When the balance of the week was
cast up it was reported that more than
1000 bills had been paid up to date,
and that bank deposits Of the mer-
chants had been $4,000 higher than
ever before. The $4,000 immei iately
was started on its way 10 the various
creditors of the merchants. and it is
estimated that $4,000 of this found its
way almost at once back into the
hands. Of the original payers.

MRS. REYNOLDS FROM NEVADA.
Woman Held az Witness in White
Slave Case Formerly a Nurse.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, March 12.-Mrs. Lulu Pea
body Reynolds, who is being held at
Michigan City, Wis, as q witness in q
white slavery case against one
vada woman instead of an Ames wom-
an as was stated in the press dis
patches from that place.
Mrs. Sawyer who was a nurse at
Iowa Sanatorium until a year or so ago,
was married to Earl Reynolds. young
man of this city, at Wilton, about a
year ago. They lived in this city
where the husband was employed at
various vocations until about holiday
time when the woman left and about
the same time young Sawyer, who was
also nurse at Iowa Sanitorium, dis
appeared.
They have been traced from place to
place but managed to evade those who
were tracing them and not until they
located at Michigan City were they
at one place sufficient length Of time
for the authorities to be communicated
with.
The woman, whose maiden name was
Lulu Peabody, was an attractive ap-
|pearing girl and was popular among
the young people at the sanatorium
during her stay there. Young Sawyer,
who claims he has spent $500 in travel
ing about with the woman and enjoy
ing life, is said to be of most excel
lent and well-to-do family at DEBORAH.
The affair has stirred up quite an ex-
citement among the friends of the
woman's husband and the members OF
the Seventh Day Adventist church in
this city, to which all parties concerned
are affiliated.

Of the few men who realize that they
have sinned. and return the money they
had stolen when they were not so
serupulous about honesty.
More than fifteen years ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Pughs conducted hardware store
in an Iowa town. They employed a
clerk. Often persons informed them
that the clerk was dishonest. Mr.. and
Mrs. Pugh, however, had no proof that
he stole and would not discharge him
as long as there was nothing to show
that he was dishonest. They eventual
~ sold out the business anu lived in
other cities until they moved to Cedar
Rapids.
Several weeks ago they were aston
ishel, by letter written to them from
distant city by the former clerk. In
his letter the former clerk made con-
fession. He confessed that while he
was employed in their hardware store
he. drank whisky and could not get
money enough out of his wages to buy
liquor, and to get the money for it,
stole TIE cash in small sums out Of the
cash drawer in the Pugh hardware
store. He usually stole % cents at a
time The former clerk wanted Mr..
Pugh to call on him. Mr.. Pugh. who is
a veteran of the civil war, is not in
very good health and could not make
the call.
Sends Draft For $50.
Several days ago Mr.. and Mrs. Pugh
received another letter and with it
came draft for $50. The former clerk
wrote that he confessed to minister
and that the preacher advised him to
return the stolen money to Mr.. and
Mrs. Pugh. The clerk wrote that he
was not sure about the total amount OF
stolen money, but that lie believes 1t
TO be $50. He sent the draft for that
sum. In his letter he said that he will
send interest at 6 per cent as soon as
he can save the money.
Both letters were read by reporter.
The clerk says that he is married and
has several children. He says that he
was saved to God, that he has not
touched liquor for six months and that
he is glad his state has gone dry. He
also says that had he quit drinking
long ago he would be wealthy, for he
made money in the business in which
he is now engaged. Liquor, however,
took all Of his big earnings. ~
