ALEX HUNTER NOW RESTS 111 A CELL III HE MILLS COM JAIL Eluded the Mills County Officers Who Went After Him Last Friday, By Making His Get-Away While They Were Taking Wrong Man to the Train He is Now Safe in the Toils. Colonel II. C. MeMaken return ed from Clarinda this morning, where he has been since Monday looking after the public works contract his firm has there. Col onel McMaken says that the Mills county officers succeeded in cap turing Alex Hunter (who is charged with having murdered John Wagner on the night of October li, and placing his body under a Burlington trestle in Mills county, Iowa), about fifteen miles south of Clarinda. Hunter fled last Friday after noon when the sheriff and his deputy went to Clarinda for him, and although the officers could have laid hands on him had they recognized him, he covered the fifteen miles and almost reached the Missouri line before being overtaken. The Mills county officers can not be commended for a great amount of skill in either delecting a criminal or securing one after it is determined that a crime has been committed. Had a coroner's inquest been called when Wag ner's body was first discovered at Advice About Stomach Troubles and How to Relieve Them. Do not neglect indigestion which may lead to all sorts of ills and complications. An eminent physician once said that ninety five per cent of all the ills of the human body have their origin in a disordered stomach. Our experience with Rexall Dys pepsia Tablets leads us to believe them to be among the most de pendable remedies known for the relief of indigestion and chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredients are soothing and healing to the in famed membrances of the stom ach. They are rich in pepsin, one of the greatest digestive aitit known to-medicine. The relief they afford is very prompt. Their use with persistency and regular ity for a short time tends to bring about a cessation of the pains caused by stomach disorders. flexall Dyspepsia Tablets help 1o insure healthy appetite, to aid digestion, and thus promote nutrition. As evidence of our sin cere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, we ask you to try them at our risk. If the do not give you entire satisfaction, we will return you the money you paid us for them, without question or formality. They come in threi sizes, prices 25 cents, 50 cenls and $1.00. Remember, you can obtain them only at our store The Rexall Store. F. G. Fricko & Co. J. F. Parker, 2021 No. 10th St., Ft.

From Wednesday's Dally. In the county court today ad ministration was granted in the estate of Fred Panka, deceased, an aged German farmer, who died in the vicinity of Louisville some months ago. The contest over the instrument propounded as the w ill of Thomas Slagle was commenced this morn ing, one witness, Mrs. Amen of Lincoln, testified, when a motion for continuance was filed by the daughters of the deceased, sup ported by an affidavit setting up that A. Slagle, of unknown post office address in the state of Washington, was a malerial wit ness to show the manner in which execution of the will was pro cured, and that, the contestants had not been negligent in trying o locale the witness, and that they believed they could obtain such testimony within sixty days. The continuance was granted and the deposition of the absent wit ness will be procured in the meantime. Pipes of all kinds from the best meerchaum down to the cheap cob. The largest line In the city.

Jake Miller, the fisherman who found Wagner's body, in formed the officers who first view ed the body that the circum stances pointed to foul play. When Miller first arrived on the scene, while out hunting that Sunday morning, Wagner's body was lying on its face and the hat was some distance away. When the train crew arrived the body was turned over and Miller placed the hat over the dead man's face and placed some stones on the rim to prevent the wind from blowing it off. A jury of Mills county citizens should have been called before the body was removed and all of the circumstances of the mysterious dealh of Wagner gone into while facts were easily recalled by those who last saw the deceased and his companions. If Hunter is the guilty man we hope the Mills county courts will punish him. Good Man for Treasurer.

NUMEROUS HOLLOWEEN DEPREDATIONS COMMITTED Those Who Tore Down Fences arid Tore Up Sidewalks and Such Should Be Arrested. From Tuesday's Dally. "A stitch in time saves nine,'' an old adage which applies with some force to the warning given to the small boys last night. The brick pavements and concrete walks and crossings ' on Main street were not disturbed last night, as they were closely guard ed by I he extra police, and being in the lighted district helped to protect them to some extent. Properly on' the alleys and in the dimly lighted districts did not fare so well.. And despite the ef forts of the mounted police, "toilets" were lifted from moor ings and tipped southward, fences were torn down and board walks ripped up. In some quarters of the city the youths indulged in the Jack-o-lanlern parade, with ticktac and shelled corn accompani ments. These were harmless di versions and cannot be criticised. Hut the unprincipled knave who would destroy property, break down fences and tear up side walks should be reported to the authorities and punished to the fullest extent of the law.
