al Anamosa for period of twenty
five years by Judge o. ID. Wheeler in

Branson. She and her brother were
separated many ears ago and were
placed with different families They
always have known their relation
ship and for several years have been
in correspondence with each other.
A short time ago Englund came tG
Shenandoah from Kansas and secur-
ed work. He and his sister saw a
great deal OF each other, and a lit
tie over a month ago they went to
Red Oak where they were married.
In securing q license they were not
compelled to answer any questions
regarding relationship because of the
dissimilarity OF their names.
Frank Branson, the girls foster
father, learned Of the marriage and

THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN.

The prairie chicken is fast goinS
pigeon. Although the buffalo may
still be seen in some of the public
parks and at enc place on the Flat
head reservation, the wild pigeon is
now only memory and the prairie
chicken bids fair TO disappear with
in few years There really does
not seem to be any practical way IN
which the slaughter OF these birds
can be prevented. They furnish both
sport and food In the early Iowa
days the latter cousid grafton was one
of the imIortanccs Many pioneer
found that his 2canty store OF meat
by no means meant starvation so
long as he could take his gun and
"a short time. Both the pioneer and
the sportsman know what an appetiz-
ing meal one of these young birds
will make. They hay" a suculence
Iand flavor distinct from any thing
else on the face of he earth IA the
hunter and the pioneer well know.
Possibly the breast Of the young
prairie chicken will not last as LONG
as a good Slice OF bacon, but it goes
down wCll. it tastes well, il imparts
"a generous supply of strength 10 the
body. Here's a tear, then. for these
vanishing birds OF the prairie They
have played Wen their part in the
upbuilding OF this prairie state and
we all hope that when they go hence
they will find place in thai tradition

abide the Indian and his culver Of
arrows, his pony and his dog. Alton

The possibility of the location Of
one of the proposed new armor

The mines are located twenty
three miles from the great waterway
of the Mississippi and comprise 257
acres of iron producing land. The
mines are the property of a st. Louis

CATHOLIC CHURCH BURGLAR

and Ncstments Strewn
About Floor.

This morning when Rev. NJ. J.
Thiitgen, ID. D., and Rev. z. J. Fried
mann entered the church they discoy-
cred that somebody had been there
ahead of them, not for the purpose o.
praying but ostensibly for the pur-
pose of pilfering. The cabinet con-
tanning the vestments was ransacket
and the vestments strewn about the
sacristy floor.
This led to an investigation and it
didn't take long to discover that
sneak thieves had been there during

ment probably knife, and relieved
of what money it contained. This
bronzed, and it might have required
chisel to cut it open. Just what
amount of money it contained is nos
known.
The cash box in the book and pap
er rack, which is in the vestibule of
the church, was forced open and the
money taken from it. This did not
contain very large sum, however.
There were no doors forced and no
windows broken in the church build
ing, hence the questions arises: how
did the thief enter the building? 1t
is the general belief that he entered
it before it was locked for the night
and escaped the rotice Of the Janitor,
Fred Liebold. After all was quiet.
Mr.. Thief proceeded with his dirty
work unmolested. Having completed
his lob" he left by way of the rear
east door, turning the key in the lock
to gain his freedom.
In the Sacristy were two gold chal-
ices and q gold mCnstrance and other
sacred utensils, valued at perhaps
100000, but these were not taken.
