A Tip
on the Sweater Coat proposi
tion If you need a sweater coat
now is the time to buy it. Per
haps the one you have will last
this winter and you are going
to wait until next fall to buy an
other, but say do you know that
some of the best colors are off
the market now and the few
fast colors that are still with us
have advanced considerable in
price? Hence the advisability
pf buying that sweater coat now.

A STRANGER GETS
IN BAD SATUR
DAY AFTERNOON
After Visiting Several Stores and Ex
amining Different Article:?, Slips a
llarndbag From Schmidtmann's.
Saturday afternoon a couple of
strangers arrived in Lhe city, and one
of these, a man named Cox, is
languishing in the county jail as a
guest of Sheriff Quinton, as a result
of his not being able to keep his hands
eff of other people's property.
It would seem that the man Cox
visited a number of stores pricing ar
ticles of different kinds and visiting
the clothing stores, where he tried on
several suits of clothes, but did not
get away with anything, so far as re
ported. His visit at the store of Wil
iiam Schmidtmann, however, proved
his undoing, and it was for swiping a
handbag from this establishment that
1-e is now resting in jail.
At the time Cox visited the Schmidt
mann store, about 5 o'clock, the owner
was out in the alley fitting on a har
r.ess for one of his customers and
his young ron, George, was in charge
of the store, and as Cox came in he
noticed him take a handbag from the
rack and place it ner.r the door as
George came up to wait on him. The
man inquired as to securing some re
pairs to a bridle, but after a few
questions as to what was needed the
man left and said he would look up
the matter later. As he left the store,
however, he wp.s soon to take the hand
bag, and George at once reported this
to his father, who, however, thought
perhaps the boy had been mistaken
end that the man had his own grip
with him, but later, on invicstigation,
it was found that the handbag was
missing and a search was ntarted for
the slick-fingered gentleman.
Will and Carl Schmidtmann then
started out to visit the hotels of the
city to see if it were possible to locate
anything of the missing grip and the
search of Will was rewarded by find
ing the handbag at the Hotel Riley
where it had been left. He at once
returned the grip to the store and the
boys then fc?t out to nab the man who
had stolen the bag. He returned to
the hotel shortly after this and in
quired for his bag, and Carl Schmidt
mann told him that he had taken it by
mistake and that he could have it by-
coming with him, and Cox and his
friend started out with the two
Schmidtmann boys and were finally
decoyed to the store, where the bag
was identified by Cox and he was then
placed under arrest by the police and
placed in the county jail.
This morning Cox was brought be
fore Justice Archer and a complaint
for stealing the grip lodged against
him, and to the charge he entered a
plea of guilty and a sentence of thirty
days in jail was imposed on him by
the court, as he was unable to pay a
line, and he was turned over to Sheriff
Quinton to be cared for. Cox stated
that he came here from Ottumwa
Iowa, where he had been in search of
a job as a "bell hop" in a hotel, but
being unable to secure it was en route
to Omaha when he stopped here to
look over the pror.pects for a job, an
could give no reason for his having
committed the act that he had an
was willing to throw himself on the
mercy of the court. He stated that
he was only ip years of age.
The second of the men was not
placed under arrest, as there was no
evidence that he had did anything out
of the way and he was not held. The
baggage of Cox revealed a great
many different articles of all kinds,
including several suits of clothes, a
camera and a number of records for a
phonograph, but it is not known
whether or not these were stolen.
METHODIST REVIVAL AT UNION
GOING ON VERY NICELY
From Saturday's Dally.
Rev. F. M. Druliner, who has been
conducting the meetings at Union in
the interest of the revival in the
Methodist church there, came up this
morning to look after his charge here
over Sunday. The meetings at Union
have been a great tuccess in every
way, it is reported, aad quite a num
ber have been converted to Christian
ity through the efforts of Rev. Dru
liner. The gospel teams from this
city have been assisting at the meet
ings at Union on Sundays when the
pastor has been compelled to stay here
to look after his church work. The
result has proven a great encourage
ment to the church in that place and
will be continued for a time. Rev.
Druliner is showing the strain cf his
long work in this line, as he has been
on the jump since the first of Novem
ber, when the meetings were opened

BUT ONE OR TWO
ARE AFFLICTED WITH
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
From Saturday's Dam.
Durimr the past week or ten day
there has been a great many reports
circulated in the city as to the num
ber of cases of contagious diseases
that were prevailing in the city, and
it is with pelasure that we can take
this opportunity of correcting the
wrong impression that so many have
rained as to the extent that any con
tagious disea-e has made progress in
this city. There is on file in the office
of the city clerk only six cases, and
these in only four families. Two of
the cases in one family is diphtheria,
while the other four cases are that ot
scarletina in a very mild form, which
is nothing unusual in a town of this
size, and with the energetic steps of
the physicians and the city authorities
to hold the maladies in quantine, there
is little chance of its getting started
on spreading. Those who start the
reports about the extent of these dis
eases should have investigated it
further before spreading the report
around and enlarging on it each time.

SIMILARITY IN THE
SIZE OF FAMILIES OF
BROTHER AND SISTERS
From Saturday's Dally.
It is not often in one family that
there is such a similarity in the size
of families as that which has occurred
in the families of the children of the
late George Sayles and wife, and with
all their children there has been a
striking and remarkable coincidence
in the fact that in each of the familie-J
of the children of Mr. and Mr. Sayles
there are two girls and one boy. In
the family of George R. Sayles of this
city, Mrs. W. II. Seybert of Cullom,
Mrs. Andrew Fudge of Covington,
irgima, and Mrs. Andrew Thomsen
of Cedar Creek, there is the same ra
tion of children prevailing, two girls
and one boy. It is not often that such
a remarkable condition exists in one
family in this county at least.
