PLUlYld b UrtHH I tii A PAkOLE 1'raseeutlug Witness Makes Affidavit the Prisoner Is laao cent. John Plumb, a young man of respectable parents, who at one time resided In In dianapolis, waa sentenced to tnree years' Imprisonment In the penitentiary at Fort Madison on his plea of guilty at the March term of disuict oourt In tills city of ttie charge of holding up and robbing an aged German, named Fred Uulh, In tha yards of the Milwaukee ral'road In this cliy. Yesterday Clerk Reed oi the district court received offlcttU notice from Des Moines that Governor Cummins bad suspended Plumb's sentence and that he had been released from the penitentiary. Plumb and two companions, ' Mike Shee han and Mike Fahey, were arrested on complaint of Goth, who charged them with beating and robbing him in the Mil waukee yards. Goth, who waa employed aa section hand by the Milwaukee, mad the trip from Marlon, la.. In a box car, In company with the three men arrested. On reaching the local yards they beat him Into Insensibility and robbed him of his savings. At the time he Informed the au thorities that Plumb was the man who beat him ao badly. Sheehan and Fahey succeeded with four others in making their escape from the county Jail in the summer of 1902 after overpowering Jailer Martin. Sheehan has never been recaptured but Fahey returned to hla former haunts In Chicago and waa arrested and brought back to Council Bluffs. Like Plumb he pleaded guilty to the robbery and was sentenced to four years in the penitentiary, whloh he la now serving at Fort Madison. The notification received here yesterday that Plumb had been released on suspen sion of sentence created considerable sur prise, as Goth in his statement to the county attorney accused Plumb of being the principal in the assault and Plumb, rather than stand trial, entered a plea of guilty. His parents did everything In their power to secure thetr son's release, but the authorities here declined to assist them In view of the fact that Plumb had pleaded guilty and the evidence clearly Indicated his guilt. The notice received by Clerk Reed yes terday conveys the Information that Plumb's release was granted on an affi davit filed by the prosecuting witness, Fred Goth, that Plumb "was Innocent of the crime." Plumb's parents lived at the time of his arrest In . Indianapolis, but since have moved to Chicago and the young man's parole provides that ha cannot leave Cook county, Illinois, without permission of the governor of Iowa.

NEW BUILDINGS FOR FAIR Legislature Will Be Aiked for Appropria tion for Fire Proof Etructnra, REPUBLICAN LEADERS IN CONFERENCE tat Candidates and Congressmen Meet, with State Committee to Talk Over Coming Cam paign. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Aug. SI. (Spcelal.)-Presl-dent Morrow of the State Fair association has returned .to his home in Afton, but before going Mated that in all probability the fair management will make an effort at the next session of the legislature to secure an appropriation for the erection of a new agricultural hall with a dairy build ing In connection, the same " to be thor oughly modern and fireproof. The build ings on the state fair grounds now are all wooden structures that have been In use fifteen years or more and are unBUlted to the purpose. The state must begin to re build them and do it better. The fair managers desire that the next step shall be the construction of a building such as that Indicated, and large enough to ac commodate all the purely agricultural ex hiblts. An appropriation of $10,000 or 150,000 would make a good start In this direction Tho association has directed that work of making improvement shall go on steadily with the surplus funds available now, and that this shall be done with the expects tlon that there will be a state fair next year. It Is the intention not to again omit any year on account of expositions or for other reasons. It is probable that Presl dent Morrow will retire next winter and will be succeeded by C. E. Cameron of Buena Vista county, the present vice presl dent of the association. J. C. Simpson, the secretary, is sure of re-election to his present position. Political Conference.

LAST OF THE OLD GUARD Mlssonrt Editor Prononnce a Pane gyric un Red Clond In III Sanaet Honrs, Red Cloud, chief of the, Sioux, Is dying. Hit frame shrunken, his skin shriveled, his arm palsied, his eyes bleared, his spirit broken, his power gone, his race, scattered, hla empire no more, the old man lies In a little tent one mile from the Pine Ridge agency in South Dakota. How' are the mighty fallen! This Red Cloud's estate now is a matter of a paltry ten acres ten acres of virgin nature. Farms hedge it about, but no plow has turned Its soil. Chief Red Cloud will die with reminders around him of the freedom of the one-time unfenced plains, with this little spot of wildernesa to recall the fair and limitless domain of which he was once lord. The government built him a house. But as old age came on he forsook It to abide In a tent. His only companion Is his aged wife, who Is his ruler and the real chief of the Sioux. When the squaw over bears so haughty a chieftain, then Is hu miliation complete. Now he seeks only to look out upon hls,en-acre kingdom and meditate upon the past. What a tragedy ia represented by this old man, and what a retrospect can he summon to mind! He knew the rich north west when the buffalo roamed there. . He knew the rolling plains and th silent for ests before the white man trod them. He witnessed the white man's coming. Ha understood that the white man's domina tion meant the gradual extinction of his race. By bravery and superior sagacity, In oonfllct with other ed men, he became a chief. By his determination to fight the whites' while yet any hope of victory re mained, he became chief of all the Sioux. And he fought desperately no man ever fought more desperately for thirty long years. Then he saw that he could do no more. His struggle meant only other and still other of his braves sacrificed. He buried the hatchet He signed the peace paper. That was In fact the end, for he kept the peace agreement His continued existence, doubtless, was a torture. If his life could have gone out when he signed away his title to his wide stretching prai ries, he would have been better pleased. The passing of the Indian was Inevitable But the wells of sentiment are stirred in contemplating how the red race was ground under the heels of civilisation. It Is such silent commentaries aa the dying Red Cloud that cause us often for brief moments to regret the cost of progress. But we know that regret Is Illogical, and that in fact the expiring gasp of tha aged chief will be a faint echo of the Indian problem whloh ao long perplexed the administration of the west.--Bt. Louis Republic. PROFESSOR HAD HIGH TIME His v Honeymoon Waa Not Paaaed Strictly According- to Pro- . gram Planned. ' Although this little sketin may sound like pure romance, Ita truth can be at. tested. The professor and his family are old Brooklynltes and this small comedy was played here not long since. The pro fessor, although still a young man, haa gained eminence in hla profession and a comfortable portion of this world's gooda. For many years he admired women en masse, but one fatal day he lost his equill brlum and was captured by a very pretty girl, whose summer prey he became. The engagement proved a brief on. After a visit at his house and a glimpse into his quiet methodical life the young woman decided she could not live his way and they separated mutually pleased. If truth were known. Now, the professor has a very pretty sister, hardly out of high school, whom he loves far above th love of most brothers. Indeed, his fiancee had been openly Jealous of pretty Joan. Therefore, when the professor found himself once more a free agent and guiltily complaoent under the offered sympathy of friends and relatives his heart turned to Joan and that light-hearted young damsel became tho owner ot the solitaire and then of all the other gifts returned from the fair one. Going on from this a great plan formed Itself within the head of the professor and he doubtless thought out th details while gravely demonstrating the Intricacies of Euclid to a respectful class at college. When the high school closed and Joan was "finished off" with honors he bought her the most bridal-looking outfit procur able at short notice, had her taught to do up her long braids and they started off on what he called a honeymoon. No lover ever gloated over his new treasure as the professor did over Joan. He beamed upon her through his glasses at every turn. And Joan met him half way. They took the bridal suite of rooms everywhere and he presented her with flowers every morning and sat In dusky corners at every oppor tunity. He enjoyed to the full many. of the pleasures of the honeymoon plus his freedom. Little' Joan had the great time of her life, for as yet her brother Is to her the most congenial companion the country can produce. As they stepped demurely from the Pullman when their train reached the Grand Central they were aa happy a couple aa every undertook a real honey moon. And the professor's life has been vowed to Joan- from that time on. Brook lyn Eagle. Reflections of a Bachelor. Money can talk an awful lot without bor ing us. A man has a lot more friends on his p..y day than he haa on theirs". Women enjoy being happily married almost as much as they do a weepy novel.
