A Seriou. 0hense.

One day last week a seven-year- old
bow was detected in the act of taking a
letter from a box in the Cresco post
Office. Others were suspected of like
offenses, and close questioning OF the
boy apprehended resulted in the re-
covery of stolen package and several
letters from one of which two-dollar
bill had been taken, The money. how
evsr, had YseslDasiy sisssn rscovsfet
through the efforts ofsome of the pub
lie school teachers.
The penalty for theft from any mail
box is very severe, the federal statutes
providing that whoever shall steal, take
or abstract from any mail box or post
Office or other authorized depositary
for mail matter. any article contained
therein, or shall have in his possession
any letter, postal card or other mail
the same to have been stolen,
shall be fined not more than $1,000 or
not more than five years, or
both.
Owing to the tender years of the cul-
prit the disposition the postoftice de-
partment will make of the matter is
rather problematical.

Pruning and Spraying Demonstration.

Pruning and Spraying Demonstration.
There will be held in Mr.. A. E. Bents
orchard at Cresco, on Friday, March
18th commencing at 1:3O p. M, prun'
ing and spraying demonstration.
Iowa produces fruit of maximum
quality when nature is assisted by three
fundamental principles of orchard man
agement, namely; pruning, spraying,
and cultivation.
Many farmers would be willing to
prune their orchards if they knew how
and when the work should be l!done.
Perhaps the average orchard in eIowa
is neglected more than any other one
thing connected with the farm. Ev-
cry farm in Iowa should have good,
we'll cared for home orchard on it.
Tell your friends and neighbors about
the pruning and spraying demonstra-
ton. An apple tree selected by those
present will be pruned and reasons.giv-
en- for making such and such cuts. The
time of year for pruning willibe given.
Every phase pertaining toIorchard tree
pruning will be discussed.
The subject of spraying will be dis
cussed and demonstrated as far as
equipment at hand will permit. HThis
phase of orchard management is in
itself perhaps the most important sub
ject pertaining to orchard management.
The important insect orchard pests and
diseases of this locality will be dis
cussed and also the best sprays. for the
control of these.
The school children, especially the
high school students, are especially in
vited to attend this meeting. The cost
for the meeting will be very small and
the travelling expenses will be pro.ra,
ted with other places.

Should Have No Opposition.

Elsewhere appears call for caucus
on next Wednesday evening to place in
nomination candidates for the various
city offices. Citizens generally are so
we'll satisfied with the present incumb-
ents that, contrary to the usual situ-
alton for several years, there is but
little talk concerning the municipal
election, and it is generally conceded
that Mayor Barker and his associates.
provided they will accept Office for
another term, are entitled to and will
be given nomination and election with.
out opposition.

AL H. Wilson and Company.

That clever comedian and golden
voiced singer AL H. Wilson and a strong
supporting companyis underlined at the
"Cresco", Wednesday, March %, when
he will present a bran new periodic
comedy song play entitled LAS Years
Roll On" In addition to quaint and
consistent heart story series OF cpl
sodes is developed covering
a period of twenty years
from youth to middle age that
will prove widely interesting and en-
tertaining and will call for versatility
in acting never before demanded OF
this popular actors talents. In the
character of John Van Fam, Mr. Will
son will be required to depict young
man in all the vigor of youth and then
as the years roll on-the middle aged
man and finally the father of family,
whose nature reveals the softened in
fluence of time, generous tosa fault.
Still retaining all the simplicity of a
loving, whole souled parent whose main
thought is for the welfare of his child.
In the midst of very funny complica-
cations there are moments of pathos
that have strong appeal and absorb
ing interests.
The play is in three acts with ten
years elapse of time between each act.
A great feature of course will be the
new songs interviewer throughout the
the action. Each gem of melody in its
way and so rendered in this celebrated
singers inimitable manner cannot fan
to be rare musical treat, so that his
auditors will heartily agre with the
following remark of a famous critic
"Quiet folk would promptly accept Mr..
Wilson'S vocal equipment and let that
of Caruso go if the choice were offered
to them" The new songs are entitled
Yesterday, "As Years Roll On
"Mother Nine, "She left me for a
Teddy Bear" and others.

On Wednesday of this week. March
7th, the w. R. C. ladies and G. A. K.
veterans together with their wives and
husbands of both orders, gathered in
their hall over Kellow's store to help
Mr.. and Mrs. Squire Towne celebrate
their golden wedding anniversary. At
ter Mr.. and Mrs. Towne had been ta-
ken to seats in the center of the hall
where beautiful rug had been spread
which the Miller Bros. had generously
lent for the occasion, the officers and
color bearers of the w. R. c. gave
their beautiful flag drill, with Mrs.
Nellie White at the piano, after
which they escorted Rev. Gammons to
the couple, who after making some
very interesting remarks, married Mr..
and Mrs. Towne with the ring service,
Mr.. Towne very meekly promising to
obey his wife, which was very just and
proper. After the ceremony Rev.
Gammons presented MIR. Towne gold
headed cane and Mrs. Towne with a
gold headed umbrella, both of which
were beautiful. Mrs. Towne carried a
handsome bouquet of yellow Narcissus.
When the presentations were finished,
all in the hall joined in singing "Silver
Threads Among the Gold. I" Mr.. and
Mrs. Towne were then taken to seats
at the head of the long, well filled table
whero they were presented large
pyramid gold and white wedding cake
bearing the date of the wedding. The
colors of the table bouquets were white
sweet peas and yellow roses, which
were afterwards sent to the sick mem
bers of the two orders. An automo-
bile was hired by the w. R. c. ladies
to bring those that were too feeble to
walk. There were about 100 present,
including some of the relatives of Mr..
and Mrs. Towne. When the company
left for their homes each guest carried
piece Of the wedding cake as souve'
mir.
