CHIEF Hennemann was about to
send out descriptions OF Miller to
police chiefs, marshals and constables
all over the country, when he received
word this morning that the prey was
taken. The first plan OF the local
officials, was justified. Miller called
at the express Office in Alton, and
asked for package for LEO Mills"
The express clerk made a pretense
of looking for the package, which by
this time was in the safe at police
headquarters here.
Meanwhile he sent out a messenger
boy to call police headquarters. OF
course the package was never found.
In few minutes the patrol wagon
came and Miller was taken to Alton
Jail where he now awaits Chief Hen
nemann's arrival

SENT THE LOOT AHEAD

Leo Miller, 10 years old, wanted
here on charge Of breaking and
entering, was arrested in Alton, ILL.,,
yesterday. This morning Charles H.
Henneman, chief of police, received a
telegram from ]. J. Mullen, chief Of
the Alton police, stating that he had
Miller in custody, and that the pris-
oner would return to Keoi1uk without
forcing the local authorities to pro-
cure a requisition from Governor
Dunno. Chief Hennemann left for
Alton at 1:20 this afternoon, bearing
a warrant for Miller's arrest. He will
return with the prisoner sometime
tomorrow.
Miller is charged with breaking
into the plant of the Swiss Cleaners
and Dyers, at 10 South Fourth street.
on the night of July IS. Entrance
was gained to the building through a
window. Goods, valued at about $50
were taken. About the same time
two PAIRS Of trousers were stolen
from Syngel's restaurant, where
Miller frequently ate.
Wilson Gets Trail.
Chief Hennemann made a prelimi-
nary investigation and assigned Cap
tain William Wilson the difficult task
Of finding the guilty party. Wilson
Immediately started to work. He
found that at midnight on July Is,
Miller had gone to a local express
office and consigned a large package
to Alton, Ill. He was convinced that
this package contained the stolen
goods and wired to the Alton police
to arrest Miller when he called for
the package at the express Office
there. Miller consigned the articles
under the name of Leo Mills"
But Miller did not show up at Alton
at once. For nearly two weeks the
goods waited there, and the detec-
tives there watched. But to no pur-
pose. Finally, hope was almost given
up and Chief Hennemann ordered
the goods sent to Keokuk. The pack
age reached here yesterday 1t was
found that it contained all the articles
stolen from the cleaning establish
ment and the two missing pairs Of
trousers from SyngePs.

Big Values.

The whole town is talking about the
big bargain event that Is now in prog
ress at the store of Friedlander Bros,
AS Ninth street northwest-a monster
clearance sale of odd trousers at prices
which are nothing short Of phenomenal.
These are the prices which prevail
while this sale lasts-a glance at the
values will indicate the saving: Trou-
sers worth up to $500. now $l.95; trou-
sers worth up to 1913. now $2.4s; trou-
sers worth up to $500. now 1915; trou-
sers worth up to 500. now 1898.
Many a suit has been discarded while
the coat was practically new. simply be-
cause the trousers were worn, but this
sale provides the remedy. The range Of
fabrics Is so varied that you can match
almost any odd coat without difficulty.
Worsteds, cassimeres. serges, cheviots
etc, are among the fabrics, while the
shades and color combinations are al
most unlimited The workmanship ia Of
the finest. Every size Is In the lot OF
course: there'll be no difficulty about

No man can afford to let this oppor-
tunity pass. Never before has Il been
possible to derive such savings and in
view Of the rapidly advancing cost Of
materials II Is doubtful II this sale can
ever be repeated. Make II a point to
stop In at Friedlander Bros. 428 Nin'h

BIG CIRCUS AND GREAT SPEC.
TACLE OCCUPY FIVE TRAINS
cRAMMED WITH WONDERS

The big event.for which the young
sters and .grownups have been impa-
tiently waiting is drawing near, for
on Thursday, October ~, Ringling
Brothers circus is to exhibit after
noon and night in Anderson.
Expectancy never ran SO high be-
fore and it is likely that this district
will send large delegation to feed
the elephants. Unusual interest CEN
ters around the gigantic spectacle,
"Cinderella," with which the fam
ous showmen are this season opening
their wonderful main tent program.
"CinderelIa" is probably the best
loved of all fairy tales and to see it
produced with more than 1000 per-
sons, hundreds Of dancing girls and
glorious pageants, indeed gives prom
ise of making "childhood's golden
dreams come true" In the same
great tent, will come the marvellous
circus numbers in which 400 men and
women performers, scores Of trained
animals and a galaxy of special fea-
lures are introduced. The majority
of the acts are entirely new to Am
erica, the Ringling Bros. having Sc
cured the pick Of those European
performers who have been obliged
to seek engagements in this country
because of the war. The all-new
street parade will take place show
day morning.

JOHN RoBINSoN's TEN BIG .
SHOWS TO BE IN GREENWOOD

C. W. Tinney, the mail carrier with
John Robinson's Ten Big Shows,
which will give afternoon and even
ing performances in Greenwood; on
Saturday, October the 7th, is a very
important personage-at least, in the
eyes of the army of show folk whose
mail goes through his hands. Also,
excepting the managers and ticket
sellers and takers, he is perhaps the
busiest man with the show, for he
looks after practically all Of the pos
tai wants (receiving and sending let
tiers, parcels, registered mail, post
office money orders, etc., for no few
er than five hundred men and wo-
men. Quite a family, isn't it? You
probably would not care for such q
position. But it doesn't bother the
circus mail carrier. He, attends to
this work, in conjunction with his
other duties, Che is also musical
director and has charge Of the sever
al bands of the show,) with as much
ease as any healthy, able bodied per-
SON would experience in walking
along highway. He carries a spa
cious leather. bag just like that Of
any regular U. s. mail carrier, but he
wears no uniform. He has his ce-
.deatials, and the uniform is not ne
ces sary. :,
" In every town and city in which
the circus exhibits, he visits the post
Office thrice daily-in the morning,
at midday, and late in the afternoon.
He calls for all main in care Of the
circus and subsequently gives the
postmaster list of the executives,
performers, musicians, ETC.,
Of the show and asks for their mail.
Then he sends letters, parcels, pa
pers, gets money orders cashed, sends
money orders, ETC., etc. Moreover
he oftentimes has to send and receive
kilograms and express packages for
members of his big family. And he
does it all very eficiently-if he
doesn't, he'd have to step down and
make room for someone else; for ia
all branches of the circus business,
efficiency is the first requisite.
The circus mail carrier is, Of
course, thoroughly reliable individ-
nal and he has to be, for he trans
acts hundreds Of. dollars worth OF
business in the course Of a week.
. The circus mail carriers compen-
sation is liberal, but he earns every
penny Of it. However, he is not paid
until the end Of the season. The day
on which the show closes, every per!
son with the aggregation gives him
a piece Of money as the circus
folk say. From each employe Of the
show he receives sum which may
range anywhere between seventy
five cents and five dollars, the exc
cutives, of course, being more liberal
than the working men. Where there
are five hundred attaches with q cir
Gus, the mail carrier can figure that
he will receive at least five hundred
dollars; never less; sometimes more.
So, you see, besides the regular sal
ary which is paid him for his services
as musical director, he receives, for
his side work, enough money to per-
