DAYLIGHT SAVING LAW RE-
PEALED.
u. S, to Go Back to Sun Time OctO-

Washington, June 19.-Doom OF

war measure, was pronounced yes.
terday by congress, both senate and
house adopting by Overwhelming
votes measures to terminate opera.
ton of the law when the period OF
summer time ends next October 26.
The house following three hours
debate, by a vote Of 2Ss to 1S2
the last Sunday in next October,
but rejected an amendment to make
the repeal effective at once.
The senate by a vote OF st to 6,
after brief discussion, added a rider
to it providing for repeal OF daylight
measure on the same date fixed by
the house bill.
The senate measure now goes to
with the agricultural bill
and the house bill is to be sent to
the senate. 1t is considered likely
the senate amendments will be final
ly substituted for the house meas
ure. Action of congress-, therefore,
means continuation Of the present
clock time this summer and early
fall with return to sun time October
the daylight saving plan.
Members of both senate and
house, in advocating repeal of the
law enacted March 10, 1918, said
they were guided largely by wishes
of the farmers and laboring men
who oppose the advanced working
hours during the spring and sum-
mer season.
Senators Calder. Frelinghuysen,
Page, Phipps and Robin
son voted against the repeal rider.

Chester Mallory in Counterfeit
Gang.

Chester Mallory, well known in
Leon and who is doing time in the
Federal prison at FIT Leavenworth,
Kansas, for forgeries and desertion
from the U. S. army, has appeared
in the limelight, according to a
News-Press Of June 10. He has
been employed in the printing de-
partment of that institution and
with other men doing time there
printed U. S. sub-treasury warrants
for various sums and giving them to
other men of the prison who had re-
ceived release, scattered broad cast
in the eastern cities, Boston, New
York and cities in Ohio. A tire
company at Kansas City also cashed
one of the checks. One check pass
ed at Leavenworth bank bore the
name of one Of the prison officials
and was SO real that the cashier did
not question it and the fellow got
the money So far about 100000
in warrants have been cashed, all
forgeries. There are about thirteen
of the prisoners and ex-convicts con-
nected with the crime and the secret
service men are working on the case
and others may be implicated.
Mallory was sent up from Des
Moines for desertion of the army
about two years ago, he enlisting
from Mt Ayr. Before this army
experience he had several charges
of embezzlement and fraudulent
check writing in this part of the
country. His chances now of ever
getting out of the Federal prison
are pretty slim

Scott County to Pave % Miles OF
Road.

pa seG1 c0h is Tie t COUNTY q Seat has
given a final answer to. the oppo-
nents of good roads, who have in
sisted that Iowa farmers do not
want hard roads and that the pres
ent law permits the big towns to
vote hard roads on the farmers. On
of paving 70 miles of county roads
and it Voted $4,000, 100000 bond
portant feature of the election is
that both propositions-for hard
surfacing and for bonding--carried
in the rural districts as we'll as IN
the city Of Davenport. Therefore,
hard roads on themselves as we'll
as the town people did.
After the election was over, the
general comment in Scott county IN
Dictated that great many OF the
votes against the two propositions
were so cast, because Of some mis-
Interpretation of the law and its
sive campaign had been INDUCED in,
and all phases of the law were ex-
planned, some Of the voters do not
acquaint themselves with the facts
sufficiently to convert themselves
from the mud roads theory.
The supervisors of Scott county
are planning to let contracts imme-
diately for such sections of the -
miles as are now brought to grade
and drained. They will also pro
coed at once to complete grading
and draining on the remainder OF
the system. This is the first county
a large city that has
carried the road proposition, both
for hard surfacing and for bonding
and both in country and town.

Found Bombs at Princeton.

Friday afternoon Marshal James
Snyder noticed two suspicious look
ing characters lounging on our
streets and his suspicious were still
further aroused when they went to
the west side hardware store and
purchased a file and then from there
to Kelly Drug Store where they
bought two gallon jugs, says the
Princeton Telegraph.
He called the attention Of Nj light
Waterman Louis Alley to the two
men and he went down to the de-
pot and arrested them after which
they were searched, the officers find
ing in their possession two files, a
coal chisel and three ,pints of wills
Walker and Hays and were said to
be from Centerville. The men were
lodged in Jail and kept over night
and the next morning were released
by the marshal and ordered to get
out of town. This they agreed to do
so as soon as the train came along
but the marshal insisted that they
could not wait that long SO they
went out afoot walking to Mercer
where they talked in not very glow
ing terms of Marshal Snyder's or
ders.
On Sunday afternoon John Orms-
by and Frank Gump were walking
through the city park when they, ran
across the two jugs which had been
broken near the path that leads
through the Don Cain pasture just
west Of the little ditch and about 20
feet inside of the city park.
The bottom had been cut out of
the jugs all except about an inch
around the outside edge. Into this
opening a funnel had been inserted
with the little end upward and
reaching nearly to the neck of the
jug. The bottom Of the funnel had
been sealed to the bottom of the
jug with sealing wax and a cork had
been placed in the little end Of the
funnel. Two small sticks had then
been placed inside of the funnel and
the bottom Of it had then been COW
cred over with sealing wax and
plaster paris making it snug and
tight.
This is a method used by crooks in
making bombs, the INSIDE Of the fun
mel being filed with explosives and
then corked up after which a GER
tain kind Of acid is placed in the air
chamber between the outside of, the
funnel and the inside of the jug.
This acid will eat hole through the
funnel and when it touches the con-
tents of the funnel it will immedi-
ately explode causing great damage.

AGED MAN DIED
 FROM NATURAL CAUSES.
iFrom Fridays Daily.)

Coroner MCLane, who went to the northwest corner of the county to conduct an inquest over the remains of Charles Avis, the aged home steader who was found dead on his ranch several days ago, reports that the deceased apparently came to his death by natural causes, no signs of violence having been found on the body. Avis, who was 7l years of age, spent his spare time trapping, and on the day of his death had talk on his rifle and started out into the hills. He was later picked up in the snow by a nephew, and the fact that rifle had been found with him and also because no close examination was made of the body, caused the report to become current that the old gentleman had met foul play
 The coroner's jury decided that the man had been a victim of heart trouble, the walk through the heavy snow having caused that organ to overwork itself with fatal results.

OLD MARK TWAIN
 MINE DUE FOR REVIVAL.
(From Fridays BaiIyl


 An carly resumption of operations at the old Mark Twain silver mine, twelve miles due south of Prescott, is assured since R. E. Moore of Jc- rome, J. r. Healey and o. r. Smith, of Prescott have secured a six months option on that property.
 Moore, Healey and Smith have not decided whether they will operate the Mark Twain themselves or dis pose of it to other parties They have deal on with St. Louis parties and if they receive a reasonable offer will dispose of their option.
 Provided tne St. Louis deal does not go through, the holders of the option will form syndicate or com- pany to erect mill to treat the Mark Twain ores. There is a vast amount of pay ore on the dump and more in the old workings.
 Those workings include three tun- nels which have partially opened a sixteen-foot ledge that runs well up in the white metal. The workings are in bad shape, however, and much work will be required to put them in shape for production.
 A Cleveland syndicate owns the Mark Twain. In the hands of the leasers it has produced $250,O00.

SOUTHWORT EATERS AN
 OLD CUSTOM
PRESCOTT ARMY OFFICER SCARS HIGH IN AIRSHIP AND SAYS HE SAW WHERE MILE HIGH TOWN IS SITUATED.
CFrom Fridays Dally.)

From Camp Logan, Texas, comes the word that Major Harry T. South worth of the general staff, chief sur geon of the medical corps, has initi- ated a precedent for other officers to follow, in leaving his quarters to go up in the air "out of sight" and out of range of the call of the bugle. In short he has been hitting the high places in an aeroplane, but he had a skilled patient" to prescribe the up country treatment in Lieut.. Mealy, the redoubtable "Jazz Flyer of the Army" Major Southworth was tied down to nis seat with the diamond hitch when the aerial siesta started. Looping the loop, the nose and tail spin, and last the thrilling corkscrew slide attracted admiration and yet fear from the division below, this last feat being the grand finale for the ethereal show.
 Landing in the corner of the big parade ground and saluting his su- perior officer, Major Southworth asked for leave of absence which he had taken. It was granted, and then followed congratulations from rank and file. He said afterwards: "I flew Up a mile to get away from the flu, and took a bead on my old stamping ground over there in the blue; am going back soon across lots, as there is one town which looks good to me and that is Pres colt"
 Major Southworth has resigned his military commission, and expects soon to be relieved, when he returns to this city to again throw his profes- sional shingle to the breeze. He has attained deserved popularity in the army, and the staff is beseeching him to keep in line. "Bdt gentlemen, the war is over" he says.
