n mall pouch and abstracting Its content !
Ills ball WBH fixed In the sum of $1,000 , I
default of which hu was committed to th
county Jail to await the action of the federal
oral grand Jury.
The mall pouch in question was stole
from the depot platform at l egan on TUBS
day night. The department was notified an
Inspector Kctchum detailed to work on th
case- . Wednesday morning Urjcr called o
the maor of Logan nnd turned over I
him a number of dratts and pciulon vouchci
which had evidently be n taken from th
letters contained In the stolen pouch. HI
story to the nutor was that he had foun
the papers lying In a heap near the Iltlnol
Central depot early that morning and In
brought them to the mayor , believing ho wa
the proper person to turn them over ti
The maor took the pipers and at once hei
word to Inspector Kctchum , who lost u
tlmo In having Drer placed under arrest
Dryer when cross-questioned told a nuni
her of rambling stories. He said that o
passing the depot Tuesday night ho saw tw
men , strangers to him , carrying off tl
pouch. His curiosity was aroused and 1
decided to follow them , which ho did to
point near the cemetery , where he claln
ho lost track of them. Ne-xt morning will !
passing the Illinois Central depot ho notice
a package of papers lying next the sldewall
Ho picked them up and seeing that they at
pcarcd to bo of considerable value took the :
to the ma } or.
Inspector Kctchum and Deputy Marsh'
McNaught made a seatch of the ccmeter ;
and hidden back of a tombstone found tl
missing pouch. It had been silt open fro ;
top to bottom and eveiy letter In It had bee
rifled. Those only containing letters he
been placed back , but the envelopes whlc
had contained the drafts and pension voucl
ers wcro nearly all missing. It Is not know
If any of the letters contained money. Win
placed under arrest and searched no mom
or anything that would Incriminate Dri
was found on him. Ho vvab brought to th
city late Wednesday night by Deputy Ma ;
shal McNaught and placed in the counl
Jail.
Jail.When
When Been at the jail yesterday Dryi
still maintained that he had nothing to i
with stealing the mallpouch and that ho h
found the papers near the Illinois Centr
depot. It Is the belief of the authorltii
that Drer , after rifling the contents of tl
pouch and securing nothing that could ha'
been of any value to him , became frlgh
cned and decided to return the papers , coi
cocting the story of having found them
cover up , as he thought , his offense.

been \lsltlug at Mr. Cartels and at Mrs

Mrs. Miller nnd family for their kindness
nnd assistance , believing that they did al !
they could to make Ethel comfortable dur
ing her lllnesb.
Dr B-ilIonger continued lo visit Ethe !
till the first day of January. We continue
to give the medicine until Sunday , Decembei
31 , when she was seized with a severe hlC'
coughing which Iho frlendb said were deall :
hiccoughs , and ns she retained no mcdlclm
on her stomach that was given we ceasci
to give the medicine. No more was thet :
give iihei The doclor called the next doj
and It was at this time thai Iho reporU
say that he loft her "In a cheerful condi
tion. " At two different times I asked the
doctor ) f ho thought she had appcndlcltii
nnd ho icpllcd that bbe did not. Ethel , 01
Monda } , January I/requested of her owr
accord thai the doctor be dls
charged. I Insisted that she sill
retain the doctor till she was fully satisfied
' that she could trust her case to the Lord
When Mr and Mrs S J. James called the
first tlmo they were not requested to pro }
with or for Ethel. The beocnd tlmo he
called praor was offered. The third tlm <
that he called Ethel was converted nm
I received n clear evidence that her sins
i were forgiven. It was by Ethel's own 10-
qucsl lhal Rev , James was called. I was
not acquainted with him. She had attendee
his meetings at the mission where mecllng'
were conducted Ethel was praed will

with her weio requested to use quletnesi
In prayer and company was not permlttei
to cntei the room while she was testing
. With the exception of one night she had gooe
1 rest and suffered no pain , though nt time :
she was quite nervous and restless.
I do not know that she called for a physi
cian after having discharged the jihysl
clan , though she did ask for medicine
On Friday , the day of her death , she seemec
hotter than at any tlmo and told those win
rimi > lo BCO her thai she was better. A ;
"different times after she wna prayed will
a ni ] bho would remark that the Lori
had healed her , whether for heaven or oartl
she did not know , but know that she vvai
the Lord's , to live for Him or to die ,
I The hour of her death came sudden nm

MIIMI'N IiiiiUKiirnt ,
In the course of his Inaugural address
Governor Shaw said
"Suppose we briefly take an Invoice ol
what wo have. Iowa during several of re
cent years could have annually furnished
every man , woman and child In the United
States a pound of cereals per day for KG"
days This Is a larger ration than Ihe
average people of Iho world consume. In
addition , wo would have potatoes and othci
vegetables , grapes by the caiload , apples
some } enrs by the tralnload , nnd other fruits ,
a million dollars worth ot canned goods
per annum , 2,500,000 eggs n da } , twenty-flu
carloads of honey , and all the beef , am !
pork , nnd mutton , nnd wool , and butter am :
cheese that can be produced on 8f > 00,00 (
acres ot pasturage , and with -1,000,000 tone
of hay. B } feeding some of Ihls grain we
are able annuall } to slaughter 1,000,000 hogs
nnd cnttlo worth $15,000,000 , nnd c\porl
5,000,000 more worth $65,000,000 , and ? 500-
000 worth of fnt sheep
"Wo can keep our people from freozlnj
with the product of Iowa mines of two one
one-half tons of coil per capita.
"Not only Is Iowa an agricultural state
bul she Is making a very creditable show
ing In manufactures. She shlpb woolcr
goods , spun and woven In this state , by tin
carload to the best wholesale firms it
Philadelphia and New York , bhoes by tin
caiload bo/ond state lines , manufacturec
lumbe-r into several , and cuat Iron wheel *
Into m or o than half the states of the union
She produces annually 1,000,000 pearl but
tons , and gloves and mittens by the car
load. Besides these all over the state siml !
faclorfts of different kinds -sprlnglnp
up , relatively o-t little Importance , and yel
In the aggregate worthy of consideration.
Itcut hiiK'ir Production.
"Her facilities for producing beet augai
are unsurpassed. The beet producing Hindi
of Europe cost per annum In rent and fertir
Izallon from $15 lo $20 per acre. Mosl o
Iho cane sugar lands cosl , including walor
qullo as much. Iowa lands require no ex >
pcnscs of this kind nnd produce beets o
unexcelled quality. Shall we have sugoi
factories ? The question must bo speedlh
decided. What though It requires $400,001
or $500,000 for each plant ? There Is or
deposit In the banks of Iowa today ovei
$100,000,000 , of w.blch more thin one-thlrc

"The evil , gentlemen , as I discern It , con

"Mnny methods have been suggested fo ;

which have coma these admitted evils
"Suppose wo adopt the policy so frequent ! ;
