A young man named Benson, convicted yesterday of petty larceny in a justice court at La-Porte City, was brought here and placed in jail to serve out his sentence, ten days. He stole some articles from a livery stable. M. L. Cummins, the La Porte City druggist, rode to town this morning on his bicycle, a distance of 15 miles, in an hour and a quarter.

And he took this little jaunt before some of our stores were opened. To take a 15 mile ride before breakfast is not unusual for him. Jobbers of coal express great astonishment at the slowness with which local dealers send in their orders for coal. One of them in talking of the matter this morning, said that if there should be a blockade now there wouldn't be coal enough in this part of the country to supply the demand for a week. Ordinary seasons there is quite a rush in the coal trade at this time.

The saloon keepers are also taking a large amount of ice daily. This increased demand is telling somewhat upon the supply, and some customers have been notified that it may be necessary to cut them off in the course of another month. The unusual demands and the hot weather have made the daily consumption of ice much larger than usual.

K. Brenizer, nee Anne Fentiman, died at her residence in Lester township, north of Dunkerton, at 1 p. m. yesterday. Death was caused by inflammation of the bowels resulting from a rupture.

An operation wa3 found necessary and was performed about two weeks ago, but she did not improve as a result of it and died as stated above. She was about 40 years old and leaves a husband and quite a large family of children. The funeral will be held at the residence about 1GJ miles from Waterloo, at 2 p. m. tomorrow and the burial will be in Lester cemetery.

The deceased was quite well known to many in WTa terloo as she lived here for a time a number of years ago. She was highly respected and the sorrowing relatives have the sympathy of all her friends. Tinware and kitchen supplies cheap er than ever, at W. F. Eigiimey's.

Mayor Groat stated this morning that from the investigations made by the officers they were certain that the practice of "rushing the growler" is responsible for the fact that minors are getting liquors. Persons who are known to be of age have been in the habit of buying beer by the pailful and giving it to minors.

He instanced a case where a young man, not yet of age, had become drunk and was brought before him. The fellow could not pay his fine and his friends interceded and begged that he should not be put to work on the streets. The mayor knew that the same parties had been in the habit of "rushing the growler" and thus putting temptation in the young man's way, and he gave them a severe lecture, assuring them that if this practice was not stopped they would be given the benefit of the law. The recently formed protective association should put their foot down hard on this custom of filling every "growler" which is presented. The latest patterns in fall suitings, at R.

A tourist who had been selling fancy paper parasols, got on a drunk the other day and was set at work on the streets yesterday morning with the "jewelry" attached to his legs.

He protested that he would not work, but the officers were instructed that if he wouldn't work he should not eat. He put in the time all day sitting on the curb on La Fayette street, and whenever the officers would show up he would fall to work cleaning up the gutters. In thi3 way he did about 25 cents' worth of work and ate GO cents' worth of provisions during the day. When Officer Weil took him to his lodgings in the calaboose last night, he accommodatingly took hold of the chain to help drag the ball, but the tramp eased up by degrees, and before he noticed it, Weil was dragging the ball and the wearer was leisurely walking along behind him. The officer made him keep his part of the chain taut after that.

At this rate, it was decided that the fellow was a rather expensive "employe," and he was put at work this morning cleaning up the calaboose, in the hope that he would leave town, but instead of doing so he went to work industriously for a time.

CossxcR vi. dyaK 1 A1- Jyflfilv3 vty 'ov item 1 Wr f- Th Amrrim Trotting: Dam Reautiful llell and Her Descendants. So far as the average production of Fpeed goes and the transmission of power to impart tho samo from feneration to feneration, it is doubtful if the ejual of Beautiful Bells has been seen up to tho present day in tho ranks of American trotting brood mares. Thero are other famous matrons whoso get have done wonders iii one field or another, but tho Beantiful Bells family achieves triumph in so many directions and is yet in so formative a state that it really outranks all others when considered in the light of its present achievements and great possibilities. It should bo remembered that tho first foal of Beautiful Bells camo in 1880, and that she has never missed producing every season since that time.

A list of her foals will bo of interest and is as follows: Record. Sire. Electioneer. Rose Belle lH.S2....Pt- Bel 1883.... Rose rnont 1884 Chimes 18.s5....rieil Boy 1886 Palo Alto Belle.

1800. 1801.. Electioneer. 23 Palo Alto. Bird Bell Had Beautiful Bells done nothing more than give to tho world tho eight trotters that are comprised in tho above list, all but ono of them having a record better than 2:30, and tho exception being credited with 2:30 she would ho notable among her kind, but when it is considered that her sons and daughters have accomplished marvels iu tho way of speed production when tho number of their foals was taken into account it will bo seen that Beautiful Bells has more than one claim to greatness.

Among her produce there are two yearling record breakers in Hinda Rose and Bell Bird, and tho first named was also a 3-year-old champion in her day, being tho first trotter of that ago to beat 2:20. Her son, Bell Boy, that was foaled In 1885 and died a couple of years ago, has five in tho 2:30 list. St. Bel, her foal of 1883, has 15 in tho list, and Chimes, who was foaled 1884, is by long odds the greatest sire of his age in the world, as in addition to tho champion 3-year-old trotter Fantasy, 2:08, he has eight other trotters and pacers in the 2:20 list and a total of 15 that are standard by performance at the trot or pace. Hinda Rose, the oldest foal of Beautiful Bells, has never produced, but two other daughters of the old mare Alta Belle and Rosemont foaled respectively in 1881 and 1883, have already shown their quality.

Alta Belle had speed enough to beat 2:30, but for one reason and another was never put in tho list. Sho was bred to Stamboul, ono of the fastest stallions of his day, and the produce, a colfc called Daghestan, made a record of 2:25 as a 2 -year-old. Rosemont produced Mont Rose, 3-year-old record 2:18, and Sweet Roso, that as a yearling trotted in 2:25, although the performance was rejected by the American Trotting Register association and does not apear in the records of that organization. It is gratifying to those who believe in the superior ability of trotters and pacers that have publicly exhibited their speed when they are relegated to the breeding ranks to know that Beautiful Bells not only herself has a record better than 2:30, but that she was by The Moor, a trotter to tho mark of 2:37 and that had shown the ability to trot close to 2:30, her dam being Minnehaha, a very fast trotter that was ruined by injudicious handling while young.

Keep the Spring Clean. Too many of the sources of water supply of our pastures are contaminated by cattlo wading in the springs and dropping their excrements within tho basin in which the spring is situated, into which all looso material is washed by the rains of summer. Such contaminat- SPRIXGIIOUSE AJTD WATER TROUGH. ed water supply is highly undesirablo for any stock to drink from, but most decidedly undesirable for the use of dairy cows. Thero is almost always a descending stretch of ground or a descending open ditch from pasture springs, which permits the keeping of tho water supply pure.

The spring should be completely inclosed and roof ed over and the water conveyed by a pipe to a tub or trough below, as shown in tho accompanying illustration. Such a plan not only serves to keep the water pure at all times, but also to keep it cooler in summer and warmer in winter if the spring is ever used for tho winter watering of stock.

A gentleman represent ing the coal trade, who was in the city today, stated that he had recently traveled quite extensively in southern Minnesota and northern Iowa and he be lieved that, in spite of the drouth, the crops would give a very fair yield.

He said the condition of crops in southern Minnesota was good and that aside from the sandy land in northern Iowa, he thought the same might be said of the bulk of the crops in that section. Prices, he thought, were certain to be good this fall and he believed the farmers generally would get through in good shape. Fancy, new dried apricots, at Pinkerton's.

Bickley and J. II. Lessard as witnesses for the State in the preliminary examination of T. I). Burke for the abduction of Hay E'liott.

He stated that some of the testimony is not as conclusive in regard to the boy's identity as he supposed it would be. For instance, Mrs. Elliott got considerably mixed in regard to the color of the bey's eyes, ne also said that he had subpoenaed several witnesses at Clin' 01 to whom he showed the photograph -of the boy which was taken since he was taken to Marengo, and they said they were certain he was the same boy that Burke had at Clinton before Hay Elliott was stolen. We received the following from Marengo last night: WILL LAST ANOTHER WEEK. Marengo, Aug.

1G. The Elliott case is still in progress and there is no telling when it will close. The prosecution has not rested as yet and it is stated that they have a number of other witnesses. The evidence so far has all been in reference to the identification of the boy. The general opinion is that the case will last another week.

The Marengo Republican states that Mrs. Lucas is not confined in jail but is in the sheriffs charge. THE "MARENGO DEMOCRAT'S" STORV. Yesterday's issue of the Marengo Democrat contains the following resume of the case up to yesterday afternoon: "Mrs. Lucas was brought here Friday by Deputy Sheriff Murphy, who went to Independence and arrested her on the same charge as preferred against Burke.

She, we understand, corroborates Burke's story. The Heplers, of Waterloo, the people with whom the boy was found, are also in the city to testify at the preliminary hearing now going on before Justice Richardson. The hearing in the case against Burke was begun Monday afternoon, but is proceeding slowly. The court room is densely packed most of the time and the greatest possible interest is manifested in the proceedings. The witnesses so far examined are: Mr.

and Mrs. George Elliott, Rev. W. B. Phelps, C.

A. Cartwright, Mrs. Wing, S. B. McBride and Mrs.

James Farley. The parents swear positively to their identification of the boy, while the other witnesses testify to many strongly corroborating circumstances. T.he people here, while mostly believ ing that the boy is undoubtedly Ray Lliiott, as a general thing demand a full, fair and impartial investigation of the matter to the end that it may be stripped of all mystery or doubt. There is, however, an element, noisy out of proportion to its size, who indulge in wild and inflammatory talk about the defendant and his counsel, and this talk has led to reports in different parts of the county that lynching has been attempted. This is not true.

Mr. Lake's remarks in court yesterday anent this talk was just what was needed to sober up some of these peo ple and set them to thinking. Xo community can afford to have it said of it that a man cannot be fairly and impartially tried in it. The hastiness with which the case was pushed against Burke when he appeared here impelled the county attorney and Captain Hedges, who have been at work on the case ever since the boy was recovered, to withdraw for the reason that they felt that they had not sufiiciently completed their chain of evidence. Messrs.

Stapleton and Feo-nan have charge of the prosecution and Messrs. Lake and Wilson of the defense. While we lave ro reason yet for changing the opinion we have had from the beginning, that the boy here Ray Elliott, there are some mysterious phases to the case that need clearing up, and it should be done in a way that when the final determination is reached there should be no doubt left in any one's mind, and this can only be done by a thorough and impartial investigation. Excited street talk can never settle the matter. The fact that Mrs.

Lucas adopted a child from the Muscatine county poor house is established beyond question. If the boy here is Ray Elliott, then there is a child not accounted for. Let everybody possess themselves in patience, and be guided by the simple wish that justice be done all parties concerned." ANOTHER STORY. The Marengo Republican gives the story of the trial somewhat more in de tail. It says in regard to the testimony by the State's witnesses All the testimony so far has been in troduced by the State, the first witness being Mrs.

Elliott. She states the main proofs of identity of the child are certain marks, his actions and expressions; on his return being able to identify his own little coat, his brother Roy, and saying without any suggestion, "ou are my true mamma," certain things he received Christmas and talked about them, and other instances which make her sure of his identity. Mr. Elliott wa3 then sworn and corroborated his wife's statement, and says further, that the child told him his real name was "Ray Elliott" and that he was taken in a covered wagon and was playing at a sand pile when stolen. He states the child recognized its old home and said, "Papa, here is where we used to live." Mr.

Elliott took the child to the place where last seen by witnesses at the sand pile and the child pointed out the place, and other stated which he thinks make the identity of the child beyond doubt. C. A. Cartwright then took the witness stand. He testified that from long and familiar acquaintance, from the language, manner, expression and eyes of the child he was qnite sure of the identity of the child, and was pres Wells and cisterns cleaned and repaired.

47-lW The mayor was called upon this afternoon to adjust a neighborhood quarrel between parties living in the vicin" ity of the Diagonal viaduct. It is charged that two men named Behm and Eastman attempted to get into an altercation with a third party and went to his house for the purpose of calling him out. Considerable loud talk was indulged in and informations were filed against them charging them with disturbing the peace. A telegram from Clinton gives the following particulars of the death of a gentleman who was well known in Iowa railroad circles: "Word was received here to-day of the death, at Augusta, of Horace Williams, of this city, one of the directors and said to be the largest stockholder in the Xorthwestern Railway Company. Xq man was more closely identified with the early history of Clinton than Horace Williams.

Coming here from California in December, 185G, he at once became interested in the Iowa Land Company, which platted this city, and in 18G0 was elected rriient, which office he held until the company closed its work. Shortly after oming here he was made resident agent and manager of a wealthy Xew England syndi cate which invested largely in real estate and engaged in building railroads. He practically controlled the building of the Chicago, Iowa Xeb-raska Railroad, from here to Cedar Rapids, and with Hon. J. I.

Blair was the prime mover in extending the line through to the Missouri river. This road was leased and finally absorbed by the Chicago Xorthwestern." BEAU CATCHERS. The plain swivel silks in light tints are used for lining diaphanous toilets. The foundation skirt of summer dresses must be narrow- in order to be stylish that is, narrower than the outside. Very frequently on evening dresses of silk the huKe puffed sleeves are made of tulle, india silk, muslin or chiffon.

A pretty fashion is hat of having a plaited bodice of crepon cut down in the neck and around the arms to show taffeta silk of a deeper tint with very full sleeves of the taffeta. Very lovely are the open fronted Parisian tea govr ns in directoire style, made of flowered taffeta or china silk, and worn over petticoats and blouse vests of white or yellow guipure lace. Besides the fine French organdies and pin dotted swiss muslins that are in such favor for white frocks this summer, soft, sheer mull and the new persian lawn are both very popular. There is a growing tendency toward box plaited and kilted dress skirts. Sometimes the plaits are coufmed to the front and back of the skirt, which is gored and slightly gathered on the sides.

A trimming of inverted V's of narrow ribbon on the bodice, back and front, is i fashionable means of decoration. Skirts are correspondingly trimmed with long inverted V's, one inside the other, covering the entire front of the skirt. New York Post. CYCLING CHAT. A good wheel is like money in a bank valueless if you do not cause it to circulate.

With the ordinary cycle lamp the only chance the user of it has is to burn with indignation. What cycling legislation needs at the present time is a well organized common sense movement. A dealer with the very appropriate name of Mark Downey is advertising iu western papers to sell wheels at cut prices. What ails cycling government is that no sooner does a man become an official than he thinks his name is Clay when it is only Mud. After all, it is only right that the man who collects the installment bills on a rider's wheel should treat the rider with due respect.

"Wheelmen who use our goods are very much attached to them," is what a porous plaster company advertises in a recent race meet programme. "You're off your sprockett" is the elegant up to date method of conveying the information that you are troubled with wheels in your Sporting Life. t)RS. Chase Munger. 50S Commercial St.
