Thomas Carter received the hardest dose of any of them, his sentence being for three years. He broke into the canning factory one night not long ago and stole nineteen cases of canned goods. When hig bad been half tried he wanted to 80 on the stand and tell a story that he had lain awake nig think up, but his at- torney,\Colonel Daily, tried to dissuade him. Then Carter had a conference behind closed doors with Judge Smith, in which he said that Daily was trying to get him convicted, and he wanted another attorney. This re- quest was not granted, but Daily consented to allow his client to mount the stand and tell his story. Cross-examination muddied the young man's brain til he did not know whether he' was riding in a Pullman coach or the patrol wagon, and it became evident that he had perjured himself. The jury found him guilty. When he came up for sentence yesterday Judge Smith gave him a Christmas roast, dwelling particularly on the sin of perjury. 'He then gave him cne longer in "the penitentiary than was m, out to any of the other prisoners, the extra year being for the perjury J. N. Burton and Frank Ramsay, who bur- glarized the residences of Weatherbee and Mrs. Baird, were given two years each. Al- bert Lauridson, who stole a fur overcoat from J. J. Simpson’s house, was given elght- een months. Lee Forman, who pleaded guilty to burglary, got a year, and a similar term was given R. A. Roberts, who stole an over- coat from Dr. Janney's office. Charles Christfellow, who was found guilty case ts to of burglarizing the High school bullding and sen- stealing tence of gued at two typewrite fifteen months considerable , received a Colonel Daily length a motion for a new trial, in which he dwelt on the fa that all the evidence brought forward was only circumstantial, and that the mere fact of Christfellow's having the typewriters in his possession was no proof that his story, that he was merely acting as the uncon- scious agent for Harry St. Cliar, who was the thief, was false.

Atkins returned yesterday from Keokuk, where he went to take Frank Trim- ble. His experlence was an exciting one, and he does not care to go through a like mental strain again. Trimble was qulet until he reached Keokuk, when he said he would like to take a trip to Quincy, Ill. The members of his family, thinking that no harm could be done by humoring him, and that possibly it might benefit him, agreed, and Mr, Atkins accompanied him. They put up at the Newcome house. von Trimble concelved the idea that Atkins was watching him too closely, and became violently in- sane, threatening repeatedly that he would Kill him. By hard work this idea was driven out of his head, but it was not until he had been overpowered by several men that he was brought safely to his home. He was examined by the commissioners of insanity and it was decided that he ought to be taken to the state hospital at Mount Pleasant, both for his own safety and that of his friends. Mr. Atkins received a letter y terday, In which the physician gave it as his opinfon that a course of treatment would bring him around all right, and Mr. Atkins, who has had some experience in cases of this sort, thinks that Trimble will be stronger mentally than he was before, when he has time to rest, The Amerlcan farmer lives better every day.

Not having the shorthand notes of the sermon, we are un- able to give a complete report, but we agree with the learned divine and are willing to 80 on record right here as being in favor of the exercise of a little more common sense in the purchase of holiday presents, Buy something useful and ornamental if you can, Buy something that will constantly remind the friend to whom you present It of your esteem, We modestly suggest that If these views meet your approval a nice pair of slippers would be about the correct thing.

Bird told the jaller, John P. Stubr, that he had intended to send the key back to him by malfl as econ as he reached Mex- ico, which was the place he had started for. Sunday School Entertalnment. A large crowd of little folks, with a plenti- ful sprinkling of larger on¢s, gathered at the Congregational church last evening to enjoy the usual Christmas entertainment. On the platform was erected a fireplace of red brick A program of musical selections and recita- tions was followed by a sudden appearance of Santa Claus, with his pack on his back But the pack did not contain enough gifts to go around the big audience, and he was compelled to ask the aid of a fairy who ac- companied him. The fairy merely waved her wand, and quick as a flash the red bricks of the fireplace were turned into boxes of candy, of which there were moro than enough to supply the wants of every child present. The program was made up of a song by Mrs. Roof, Christmas carols by the boys and girls, a recitation by Marguerite Rece, and a song by ‘Genevieve Roff. Lucius or delivered a sermon to the boys, taking one of the bricks as a text, and with it hit- ting only such telling blows as a brick can. One of the features of the entertainment was a pantomime sketch by seven little grand- mothers, who weat through various motions, which were described in a reading by one of the older memb:rs of the school, that ac- companied the pantomime. “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” The hand that uses Dr. Price's Baking Powder produces the finest cooking. Fou Powers, w. V. chief Island, has been in the city for several days, of police at Grand looking for traces of a couple of men who burglarized a pawn shop kept a man named Brown at Grand Island. Over thirty watches and a dozen revolvers were stolen by the thieves, and the booty was valued at $400. They were traced as far as Council Bluffs, but where they went from here is so far unknown. In making his investigation Chiet Powers found that Victor Sadowski, employed in_the freight department of the Union Pa- cific in this city, had bought a lady's gold wateh from a man who proved to be one of the guilty parties, and another was bought by Sam Friedman, who keeps a pawn shop. From the two sales the fellows realized $12, and it is supposed that they used the amount in getting out of town as fast as possible, Both Sadowski and Friedman gave excel- lent descriptions of the men of whom they bought the watches, and there is some hope of capturing them.

DES MOINES, Dec. 24.—(Special)—Twelve hundred teachers will gather in this city the day following Christmas to attend the sessions of the State Teachers' association, which holds its forty-first annual conven- tion here this week. Three entire days will be devoted to the meetings. The extent of the work done and the ground covered by the discussions of the convention can be tairly estimated from the fact that the pro- gram issued makes a pamphlet of twenty pages. Within the association there are a score of other organizations. Besides the session of the general association, there- fore, there will be separate and 'distinct meetings of the educational council, of the four departments fito which the associa- tion Is divided, of the four sections and of the ten round tables, all subordinate or- ganizations within the' general society. The assoclation is remarkable for its growth and stability. William M. Beardshear, president of the State Agricuitural college’ at Ames, is pres- ident ‘of the teachers' assoclation. Super- intendent I. N. Beard of Osceola is the sec- retary, S.'S. ‘Dobson of Toledo, Annle S. Abbott of Cedar Rapids, and A, B. Warner of Harlan are the vice presidénts, G. W. Sampson of Cedar Falls Is treasurer. The executive committee Is composed of D, §. Wright of Cedar Kalls, Carrie A. Byrne of Lemars, A. W. Stuart of Ottumwa, and President Beardshear. Each of the depart- ments, sections and round tables have their officers also, while State Superintedent Henry Satin ls the president of the educa- tional council, and M. F. Arey of Cedar Falls is its gecretary. In addition to the meetings of the various branches of the as- sociation during the three days the teach- ers are in Des Moines, an examination is held at the office of the state superintendent at the state house for life diplomas and state certificates, The membership of the assoclatiol cnormous.

The more important will be the discussion as to the relative standing of the sccre of col- leges in Iowa. ———— STERN PENSIONS, Wi Veterans of the Late War Remembered by the General Government, WASHINGTON, Dec, lal.)--Pen- slons granted, issue of December 11, were: Nebraska: Original—James R.

DES MOINES, Dec! 24.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—In the early $04 one John Irwin located a large number of military land war- rants upon some of the chofcest farming lands in northwest Iowa. During the war Irwin, who was a resident of one of the southern states, became financially embar- rassed, and falling to pay the taxes upon his lowa lands, they were sold at tax The tax titles thus acquired were subse- quently purchased by parties who mproved and_have for years resided upon the lands. In October, 1893, Trwin died in Nebraska, and now his heirs have brought suit to redeem from these tax sales, claiming that Irwin was Insane at the time these lands were sold for taxes, and so continued of his death. In Clay county alone there are over sev- enty different farms involved. The settlers have retained lawyers of this city and a vigorous defense will be made. Towa Minister Jalled. CRESTON, Ia, Dec. 24.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Rev. James Morrow, a Methodist preacher, instead of filling his appointment at Grove chapel yesterday occupied a cell In the county jall. It appears that he and bis son and’ stepson became involved In a quarrel Saturday night, and for a time a rough fight was in progress. Morrow has been making his home with his son and stepson. Frequent quarrels have occurred batween the boys, and Morrow often laid aside his ministerial dignities and took a hand, assisting his blood relation. It was one of these encounters that caused his ar- rest. Another version is that Love, the stepson, was the aggressor in the dificulty, and a warrant was issued for his arrest, but it is reported he has fled Wrecking the Iowa Homestead. DES MOINES, Dec. 24.—(Special Tele- gram.)—New trouble has arisen in the Towa Homestead newspaper case. On Saturday night the late editor, Henry Wallace, was found taking proof shects of the mailing list. An altercation ensued between him and Pierce and others. The latter went into court and secured a temporary indunction forbidding Wallace to use the proof shee and later a permanent writ was issued re- quiring him to surrender possession of them. The matter bids fair to wreck the entire business. Deserted His Family. CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Dec. 24.—(Special Telegram.)—Quite a sensation has been cre- ated here by Dr. J. A. Allen’s desertion of his wife and family. Allen is a speclal ist and has been here about three years Tuesday he left, telling his wife he was going to some of the neighboring towns, as had been his custom. He did not return, but Saturday Mrs. Allen received notice that her husband had brought suit at Dubuque for a divorce. Mrs. Allen and sons are left without any means, Des Moines Womun Accidentatly Killed.

ERIE, Pa.,, Dec. 24.—The ringleaders in the gang of masked (burglars who, a week ago, beat and bound, and under fearful tor- ture secured the $10,000 which David and Sarah Slocum had laid up for a rainy day, have been captured. They are Frank Ander- son, a farmer living Within two miles from the scene of the robbery, Ralph Van Saler and Jeremiah Casey. Anderson and Van Saler were captured together at the house of the former. They resisted arrest, but were overcome. Casey was captured in the east- ern part of the state. “The conspiracy seems to have been put up by Anderson and Casey in the Meadville jail. Anderson was there on a sentence for larceny, and met Casey, who was in for some minor offense. An- derson knew about Slocum's wealth, also that he had called in his money. In less than two weeks after the pair were out of Jall, with four others, they met at the An- derson rendezvous and carried out one of the most daring and successful burglaries in the history of crime in this section. Casey’s fondness for his cups loosened his tongue, disarmed his secretiveness and gave the clew which resulted in the capture of the gang. NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—John 0'Connel, an ex-convict, is locked up in the Harlem jail awaiting extradition papers from Erie county, Pa., where he s wanted for assist- ing in the murder and robbery of Slocum. 0'Connel has lived for the past three days with his sister. Since last Avgust his ad- dress has been the Erle county jail, and for ten years prior to that he had been an in- mate of Sing Sing. Sheriffs Sullivan of Erie county and Stevenson of Binghamton county tracked Casey, a pal of O'Connel, to his home in Binghamton and learned that last Thursday he had eloped with a 15-year-old girl, affer presenting his sister with $150, Casey was followed to Paterson, N. J., and located in a boarding house, Friday night the officers enlisted the services of six con- stables and surrounding the house, they cap- tured Cascy. He had $700 of the stolen money on him. He confessed his guilt and squealed on O'Connel. SRS TRILBY WAS HIS TEXT. Dr. Dixon Tells Roformers that the Men Are at the Root of the Evil. NEW YORK, Dee, 24—"The Novel of Trilby,” was Dr. Thomas Dixon's subject yesterday. He gave Du Maurier's story in outline with his impressions of the book. “Is “Irilby’ a possibility?” he asked. “Only ignorance of humanity could doubt it. The men and women who allow soclal caste to separate them do worse than sell their birth- right for a mess of pottage. Woman's keen sense of her degradation when she violates the moral laws Is not a fair expression of human nature. It s the resistless expre: sion of the Inheritance of centuries of bru punishment that the supetior muscle of man has inflicted on her. Hence Trilby's final sense of shame. The roots of social evil arp found in evil environment. Take the case of Trilby, Her mother was a barmaid." Mr. Dixon gave thid sharp rap to re- formers: “In several of our nearby citles at this time crusadés have been organized against fallen men. The reformers are stupid meddlers who'think they are follow- ing in the lead of Dr. Parkhurst. Nothing could be more absurd. Dr. Parkhurst never waged war on the unfortunates, but tried to rescue them from offlefal brutalily. There are 60,000 unfortunates ‘in this city today and if you could rescue, reform or drive away every one tomorrow,’in'less than a year's time they would be' back in numbers un- diminished. Why? ‘Simply because while there are 50,000 fallen women In this city there are ten times that number of falle men. Why be hypocriiieal as well as cruel? ———— Sun Fraucisco's Fire Extinguisher, SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. 24.—The fire de- partment of San Franclco has acquired a water tower battery “inyented by a depart- ment machinist which will throw 4,000 gal- lons, or sixteen tons, of water per minute into a burning building.

It was not necessary, as evidence would conviet him undoubtedly. Blonion's fatber went to Taylorville this morning with his gun and told some people here he would kill Foster. Foster confessed in ths presence of his victim's father, who raved like a msniac. _The latter was un- armed at the time. Foster sald he killed the boy in a quarrel as to who should build a camp fire.

Edison and the Edison Phonograph works. | It was alleged by the Graphophone company that the original Edison tinfoil phonograph was a failure, as the sound records it made were not accurate, permanent ner capable | of being reproduced as often as desired; could not be detached from the machin handled and transported, and that the art up to the date | as now known was created by the inventions | th of Alexander G am Bell, Chichester Bell and_ Charles ainter, who_began their work under the auspices of the Volta Labora- tory assoclation, and whose patents were afterwards acquired by the American Graph ophone company, and that every phonograph, every phonograph cylinder and every phono graph record, became practical and valuable only so far as it relied upon the principle of engraving the record as distinguished from the abandoned method of indenting, used in Edison’s original tin foil phonograph No testimony was taken for the Columbia Phonograph company in the case, and when the time limit fixed by the court had almost expired, the defendant withdrew counsel and allowed a decree by default, The court finds for the American Graphophone company on every point, lssues a decree of injunction against the defendants, and orders an ac- counting by the auditor of the court.. Other sults are pending in New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Massachusetts, Illinois and Kansas. prashiall “silasy CHILDREN IN FLAME Mother Leaves Her Littl and Retnrns to Find Them on Fire, BROOKLYN, N. Y. Dec. 24.—A fire oc curred in the flat occupied by Charles Corn- Ones at Home wall. Both Mr. Cornwall and his wife were away from their home at the time, three children being left behind. The first inti- mation of the fire was when Mrs. Jane Han- son, an elderly woman living across the hall, heard the children screaming. She opened the door of the Cornwall flat and smoke rolled out, almost smothering her. She saw a smoking bundle cn the floor and it proved to be one of the little ones. Picking it up she ran screaming to the street. Mrs, Cornwall was returning from the grocery store when she saw her neighbor with the burning bun- dle. Immediately behind@Mrs. Hanson was Maude, an older child, her clothing in flams Mrs. Cornwall grabbed the baby from the old woman and ran down the sireet, Some one on the street threw a coat around the child and extinguished the flames. A block away the crazed mother was stopped with the infant, its clothes still smoking and both were found to be quite badly burned. No one knew another child was missing, but after the fire was extinguighed the charred remains were found.
