A BATCH OF SMILES.

A mar recently ordered q pair OF
trousers from his tailor. On trying
them on they proved to be a couple
of inches too long. It being late on
closed, and the man took the trousers
to his wife and asked her to cut them
and hem them over. The good lady.
whose dinner perhaps disagreed with
her, b%rusQuely refused. The same re-
suit followed on application to the
wife's sister and the eldest daughter.
But before bedtime the wife, repent
ing. took her husbands trousers, and
cutting off three inches from the legs,
them to the wardrobe. Half an hour
later the daughter, full of compunc-
ton for unfilial conduct, took the
trousers and cut off four inches, hem
med and replaced them. Finally the
sister-in-law felt the pangs Of con-
science and she. too, performed an
additional surgical operation on the
garment. When the man appeared
at breakfast on Sunday the family
thought a Highland chief had ar
rived.

MAKES EXTENSIVE AUTO TRIP,

T. ]. Settlemire and his family re-
turned Tuesday evening from a sew
eral hundred mile trip into Nebraska.
where they were called by the death
of Mrs. Settlemire's mother, Mrs. JO-
seph Burkhart.
AS soon as they received word Of
her serious illness they left immedi-
ately for Plain View. Mrs. Burk-
hart was in an automobile accident a
few days before and died from the eff
fects of the injuries. she being 80
years of age and had been making
her home with her son for several
years. She lived in Dedham until Is
years ago when she moved to Ne
braska, and is well known to many
of our readers.
Mr.. Settlemire and his family came
home by way of Sioux City and Oma-
ha and say the trip was q delightful
one. having made the entire distance
without even a tire puncture. Crop
conditions in parts of Nebraska are
better than in Iowa, but on the whole
Audubon county crops measure up
quite favOrably. DOC" drove the
car most of the way and says ne en-
joyed the outing as much as any OF
them.

U. 8. MARSHAL MAKES ARREST.

placed under arrest Grover Hogueis.
sen and Teddy Olsen. on charge OF
importing liquor into dry territory,
which is in violation of the Webb
Kenyon law. Both of them were TAX
en- to Council Bluffs this afternoon,
where tomorrow they will be given
hearing.
This is the final windup of the at.
fair as stated in last weeks Republic
can. Teddy Olsen was among those
who went with a number of men
from Defiance to get some liquor
over the line in Minnesota. When he
reached Carroll. Grover iIogueissen
met them and in his car brought 81
pints and 20 quarts of whiskey to
Audubon. On his arrival here he was
placed under arrest. He was re-
leased and later re-arrested on an
other charge. On being given .
hearing he was bound over to the
October term of the Audubon county
grand jury.
What disposition will be made Of
them is not known. Mr.. Olson will
probably be held to the federal court
in Council Bluffs. but the charge
against Hogueissen here in this coun-
ty may make some difference a. to
the action that will be taken IN his
case. The charge against them 10 q
serious one and II convicted may land
them behind the bars. The fact that
the goods were located may be sum
cient evidence to convict.

DETECTIVE j. n. WILKERSON
CONTINUES TO TALK

Macedonia, where Rev. Lynn G. j.
Kelly, who is indicted for the ak MUIR
der at Villisca. neld a pastorate at
the time of the killing, is agOg again
over the case. ]. N. Wilkerson, who
has been connected with the case for
several years and who maintains KEEL
ly's innocence. spoke at the opera
house Tuesday night to large crowd
and stirred up quite a bit of later
verbal strife on the streets.
The sleuth's talk was largely along
the lines he has pursued at former
OratiOns on the Casa lambasting of
Havner and former Senator Jones,
with not a great deal said about KEEL
ly. M. A. Stempel, who was one of
the witnesses from Macedonia sub
pOenaed by the grand jury before the
indictment of Kelly, drew Wilkerson's
fire because he tried to let the attOr-
ney general know of the detectives
intention to talk. Mr.. Stempel knew
Of the injunction against Wilkerson
in the state, and as justice of the
peace wanted to know from the at
torney general what to do. He could
not reach him by phone, however.
WilkersOn learned of this and devil
ated from Havner and Jones long
enough to point Stempel out in the
crowd. call him few names and ask
him to stand up.
Opinion is divided about evenly as
to Kelly's guilt. but not so much as
to WilkersOn's efforts for the preach
err. 1t is generally thought that Kelly
should stand trial in court. not
from the platform.

EXTRA MAY FURNISH
AK MURDER EVIDENCE
some Creek Calls Detective WIKI.
ersOn to Extra Sunday

j. N. Wilkerson, the detective who
has been employed for two years past
to ferret out the Villisca AK murder.
was in Extra last Sunday, having
been called there by Jack Coe, who
had in his possession note that was
written by Omaha parties and put in
to a bottle. This bottle was found in
Troublesome creek several days ago.
The note was signed by one who
knows"
AS soon as the note was found it
was sent to the detective. He began
an investigation at once and soon
spotted his man. The party who
wrote the note is travelling man
who was driving from Omaha to
Cedar Rapids. and while on this trip,
wrote the note and threw the bottle
into a stream somewhere. This bot
tie was washed ashore during the
high water several weeks ago, but
was not found until the high water
had receded.
Mr.. Wilkerson thought the note
was of sufficient importance to secure
it. and having located the parties who
wrote it. enables him to complete an
other link in the chain of evidence
that will be used against party who
is under suspicion for committing
this horrible deed.
For reasons that are not made
known, We are not permitted to pub
lish the contents of the note. 1t is,
however, of sufficient importance to
the public to know that a great deal
| of evidence is being uncovered, and
this note may help to uncover other
evidence that will ultimately bring
to Justice the guilty parties.

LIGHTNING STRIKES STORE
BUILDING TUESDAY AFTERNOON

During the severe electrical storm
Tuesday afternoon. lightning struck
the chimney on the building Of the
Reinemund hardware building knock
ing a big hole in the chimney. Mr..
Reinemund was upstairs resting on
the davenport when the shock came.
He was thrown onto the floor in a
dazed condition and it was several
hours before he was himself again.
Will Freeman. Robt. Curtis. Wills
Jones and others who were on the
street at the time also felt the shock,
hut were not as badly affected as Mr..
Reinemund.
The damage to the building is on
ly slight for the force of the shock
was carried off the building by the
tin roof. Had the building been of
wood serious conflagration might
have resulted. 1t was indeed fortu-
nate that no serious damage was done
other than scattering a lot of dirt all
over the Reinemund living rooms.
