HAMILTON, ILL.,, DEC. 2.

Hamilton has been visited by a
bunch of thieves that came near be-
ing caught. Mr.. F. M. Wetsel, our
hardware man had call Wednesday
night or Thursday morning. They cut
q hole in the back door and got in and
took the money drawer out and secur-
ed 100 pennies, then helped themselves
to about two hundred cigars and
wound up by taking very nice shot
gun, but they went to Captain BARRIERS
home and left the gun at his front
door. About one year ago Mr.. Wetsel
had q sale of gun to a man that had
a government check to pay for it but
Mr.. Wktsel never received any cash
for the check but this thief never let
anv check that Mr.. Wetsel has found.
The same night Mr.. Bowman lost
very fine lap robe out Of his automo-
bile at the garage, also entry to the
postoffice by back window was at
tempted, but was frightened away. We
would advise all our people to keep
shot gun loaded with large shot in
their house, and shoot the first prowl-
er he sees around his premises.

DELAY TRIAL
OF O'DONNELL
Probable That keokuk Mans Hearing
Will be Postponed to
December IL.

The second trial of Martin Matthias
lO'Donnell for the murder of his wife
at Keokuk will probably not begin on
December 5th, the date now set. says
the Fort Madison Democrat. County
Attorney McManus was in the city yes
|terday and stated that there were GER
tain points about the case about which
he desired to confer with the attorney
general before the trial began, and he
would hence ask for a postponement
Of the commencement of the trial, pre-
sumably to December IL.
1t Is understood that Attorney Mar
shall Of Keokuk will again represent
the defendant. Attorney Hamilton OF
this city was associated with Mr.. Mar
shall as counsel for the defense at the
prior trial, but his present position OF
deputy county attorney will probably
preclude his participation this time.

The report that the authorities of

bit of humorous fictiousness, said

1t contains suggestive fact that ap-

cover it over by saying, wait until
the presents "outs" are in, and there
may be some truth in that, while re-
Iigious bodies may hold a great re-
viyal and there may be need Of just
that thing, but these things cannot
gloss over the fact that it takes a

REMOVAL LAW
AS II is Now Commissioner of Public
Safety Cannot be Reached
by Cosson Act.

The Des Moines Register says: At
terney General George Cosson in pre-
pairing his biennial report, will in,
clude a recommendation that the re.
movaf law be extended so as to make
it possible to remove superintendent
of public safety for neglect of duty.
The experience of the attorney
general in Keokuk and other cities,
as we'll as recent developments in
Des Moines. convinees him of the alb
solute necessity of providing way
of removing superintendent of pub
He safety.
At the present time the police Of
ficers, including the chief of police
and mayor, may be removed for
cause, but the man who Is in. direct
charge of the police officers and who
may be wholly responsible for fail
ure to enforce the law, cannot be
reached except under the old jury
method or the recall. These remed-
les are ineffective, experience has
pointed out.
In view of the fact that the repub-
lican platform declared for such adj
ditional laws as are necessary to. en-
force the law. it is believed that the
legislature and the governor will IA
vor the recommendation.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as IL is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are
muscles. ..~.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. Inc
bowels must BE kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty
Age is not time for harsh
physics. Youth may occasionally
whip the bowels into activity. But a
lash can't be used every day. What
the bowels of the old need is a gentle
and natural ionic. One that can be
constantly US ed without harm. The
only such tonic is Cascarets, and
they cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug store.

score of % to ID, but the Hamilton
squad gains their revenge by trimming
them by score of 33 to 8. Dallas City
made their only score in the first quar-
ter when Knight drop kicked from the
fifteen yard line. Hamilton scored
their first touchdown in the first quar-
ter when Ackley plunged over the goal
line. Gray kicked goal Hamilton
scored two more touchdowns in the
second quarter. The first one in this
quarter was made by Willing on an
end run. Gray kicked goal. che other
touchdown in this quarter was made
by Ackley on line plunge. Gray
again kicked goal. In the third quar-
ter Gray raced seventy yards on a
shift play for another touchdown. He
then missed goal. In the last quarter
Willing intercepted lateral pass and
ran fifty yards for another touchdown.
Gray failed to kick goal. The Hamil-
ton squad put lots Of pep in the game
and so they won easily. Keller and
Hosford deserve special mention for
some fine tackling. Miller caught three
forward passes in succession in the
last quarter. Daugherty played good
game at quarterback. The whole
team deserves much credit for their
fine playing. Following is Hamilton's

VERY closely, then mark this off
in squares of about two inches.
Mark each square with number
or letter and after numbering
each ear accordingly, take 10
grains of corn from each ear and
place in the square marked like
the ear from which the corn is
taken.
Carefully pull the loose end of
the cloth over the seed after all
squares have beer filled. Put
more sawdust over the top Of this
cloth and then wet thoroughly
and put box in a warm place for
the seed to terminate. In about
a week after the corn has been
placed as shown abo 70 you may
remove the sawdust or sand from
the top cloth carefully and raise
the cloth carefully and you see
which ears will sprout best and
select the ears Of the strongest
vitality for your seed. The same
box may be used for a whole

handled. Rid yourselves of the
cry of wire worms and insect
pests when it is poor quality Of
