Burglars renewed their activity In Coun
cil Bluffs Monday night and six residences
wera visited by them. With the exception
of the Jewelry taken from the Shuart res
idence the amount of booty obtained by
the prowlers wss small.
At the residence of 8. F. Shuart, 1013
8!xth avenue, entrance was effected by
prying open the window of the bath room
with some tool, marks of which were
plainly visible on the frame yesterday.
Here the burglars secured two watches
and two rings. One of the watches, as
well as one of the rings, was quite valuable.
Foot prints around the house in the mud
showed that the burglars had made a
thorough Investigation before deciding on
the bath room window. 1
The residence of C. D. Brown at 613
South Tenth street, was entered also by
the bath room window, but an alarm
clock ringing at 4 o'clock frightened the
burglara away and they made a hurried
exit, carrying with them Mr. Brown's
trousers, from which they secured 40
cents. The trousers were found In the
ysrd of G. P. Nelson's residence at 814
Seventh avenue.
An attempt was made to enter the resi
dence of Councilman' Peter Smith at 1115
Fifth avenue. While trying to pry open
a window the burglars lighted a match.
The light was seen by Mrs. Smith, who
screamed and the unwelcome visitors took
their departure. .
At the residence of William Nolan, 1007

three shutters and were then either fright
ened away or abandoned the attempt to
raise a window.

Fifth avenue was entered through a kit
chen window and mud on the kitchen
table under the window showed at least
one burglar had crawled over It. Burned
matches strewn on the floor of the kit
chen, dining room and parlor showed these
rooms had been visited by the burglar, but
nothing was found to be missing. Mrs.
Whitney, who was not feeling well, was
up a greater part of the night and her
coughing Is believed to have scared the
burglar away, as a pocketbook which was
on the parlor table was overlooked. A
steel knife sharpener which was taken
from the dining room was found yesterday
morning sticking In the ground at the rear
of the kitchen.
A member of the family awakening alone
prevented the burglars from carrying away
all the household silver from the resi
dence of Mrs. Irene Saunders at 1628 Ave
nue D. The silverware had been gath
ered from the drawers of the sideboard and
placed on the table In the dining room
ready to be tied up In a table cloth,, when

away.
The police are of the opinion that only
one man was concerned In the several

IOWA CATTLE IJI EXPORT TRADE
Shipper from Hawkeye State Able to
Realise on Deal.
IOWA FALLS la., Feb. 12.-(Speclal.)
Frank T. Jensen, a former lows newspaper
man and at one time editor of the Dysart
Reporter, recently experienced the novelty
of a trip to Liverpool with' a shipload
of export cattle and his views of the trip
are Interesting. The cattle aboard the ship
that he made the trip on, were loaded at
Portland, Me., the loading of the cattle
being much the same as Into cars from
chutes. The cattle are taken Into the hold
of the ship where they are either tied by
the horns or neck in stalls holding from
three to five head. The cattle are fed
regularly with corn and hay at the ship
per's expense, the owners of the ship pro
viding only water which is stored In the
hold as ballast and pumped as needed. The
trip over consumed eleven days. The ship
pn which Mr. Jensen took passage carried
736 head of cattle and 1.100 head of sheep.
No losses were occasioned among the
cattle and only two sheep died on the trip.
The live stock Is usually Insured while
enroute. The keepers of the stock find
plenty' to do each day of the voyage In
caring for the cattle and sheep, but he ex
perienced no hardships. The steamship
company furnishes the best of accommoda
tions for the passengers. Arriving at Liver
pool, tto cattle are turned over to a com
mission firm to whom they are consigned
and under the English laws must be speed
ily disposed of, and all Americas stock
slaughtered within ten days after reach
ing port. The shipment that Mr. Jenaen
accompanied was sold within six days of
arrival at Liverpool. No settlements are
made for American stock except at
slaughtered weights, all animals being
killed and dressed efore being paid for.
Mr. Jensen says that the returns from ex
port of Iowa stock proves remunerative for
IoWa stockmen who are willing to under
take the Independent shipment of the pro
duct of their yards to foreign markets.

the conviction of any guilty of criminal
carelessness In this line. Fred Kramback

shot by a hunter and three cows near Mas
sen a died as the result of eating too much
fodder from a field Into which they had
gone through a gate left open by hunters.

the Problems Confront
I . '"St It.
MARSHALL, Mich., Feb. 12.-Evehy avail
able seat was taken last night at the annual
banquet of the Calhoun County Lincoln
club, at which former Secretary of the
Treaury Leslie M. Shaw and Second As
sistant Postmaster General McCleary were
the principal speakers. Mr. McCleary, In
speaking on "Present Day Problems," do
voted considerable attention to the fact
that the auxiliary fleet carrying coal and
supplies for the battleship cruise' to the
Pacific sailed under many foreign flags
and he urged the building up of an Ameri
can merchant marine.
Former Secretary Shaw was greeted with
a burst of applause when he was Intro
duced. Address of Ex-Secretary Shaw.
After discussing some of the men who
have been presidents of the United States
Mr. Shaw said:
When Theodore Roosevelt took the- oath
of office he announced that he would ad
here to and follow out the policies of Ids
predecessor. Fortunately, these policies
were in full force and did not need to be
strengthened. Therefore, within forty
eight hours, to his lasting credit be It said,
the new president was inaugurating pol
icies of his own.
Universal prosperity and the sudden ac
quisition of wealth had. wrought sad havoc
with busl less morals. Love of power,
whetted by Indulgence, had led Irresistibly
to financial methods in some Instances
most reprehensible. The present adminis
tration has been most, admirably fitted
to the times. ' Notice has been served, and
service has been accepted, that In this
country the people are supreme, that the
revised statutes of the United States con
stitute a most wholesome volume which can
wisely be kept on the table around which di
rectors regularly assemble, and that In
the employment of counsel corporations do
well to select men who will see to it that
the operations of their clients are kept
well within the limitations of the law, lest
In their efforts to evade Ita spirit, they
Incur the penalties mentioned In the let
ter. In our evolution this has been one of
the questions that had to be determined,
and In my Judgment no president has met
the task that has come naturally to his
hands with greater courage or, more sig
nal success than has Throdore Roosevelt.
Fortunate will we be If we drift not away
from the high standards of clvio and busi
ness ethics to which we have attained,
and thus make necessary the repetition of
lessons which have been taught In mes
sage, in legislative enactment and in Judi
cial decree.

The admitted leader of the opposition
party, confident of his nomination at Den

announcing the unwlso policy of a foolish
Hebrew king: "My predecessor chastised
you with whips; If elected, 1 will chastise

surma to take tho position that tho knlfa
should be kept ever on the table, the whip
regularly cracked up and down the aisles,
during intermission, and tho revolver dis
charged through the open window, morn
ing, noon and night. He ' fails to realise
that excessive too frequent punishment is
as subvertive of discipline as laxity.
After reciting the vast resourcos of the
country and the need of expanding Its
markets, Mr. Shaw said In conclusion:
In the making of new laws let us adhere
to the Anglo-Haxcn policy of strengthening
tho weak places .perfecting that which is
found to be good? eliminating that which la
found harmful, and In all things. that are
liable to disturb or disrupt, move with
great caution. Somewhere between the ex
tremes of unrestrained business and com
mercial license and a system of strict
statutory requirements governing every
conceivable business transaction, there must
be a happy mean. That we may thereto
attain must be the wish of every patriot to
citizen, and to that end must be given the
best efforts of every loyal American.
