JUDGE IS LENIENT TOWARDS FRED PIPES Embezzlement Indictment is Quashed and He Will Get Off With a Jail Sentence After a conference between Judge Bollinger, County Attorney Neal and Attorney A. P. McGuirk representing Fred Pipes the young man who has been on trial in the district court for the last two days on the charge of embezzlement, it was decided, at 2 o'clock this afternoon, to quash the embezzlement charge against Pipes and enter instead one of breaking and entering to which he will plead guilty and receive a jail sentence.

This course was decided upon to save the young man from the penitentiary, as the state had a strong case against him on account of a written confession which he had given to Assistant County Attorney Murphy. Pipes has told the truth throughout and has given no trouble at all since his arrest. He is only 18 years of age and with the exception of the, offense for which he was indicted seems not to have been a bad boy. The Judge stated that he had used more leniency in this case than had ever before been exercised in the Scott county court house as the charge of embezzlement upon which Pipes was Indicted carries with it a long penitentiary sentence. TO CARPET DINING ROOM Neipp Miller Make Big Purchase For St.

HOLIDAY TRADE WILL BE HEAVY The regular holiday rush in the retail stores started Saturday and during the afternoon and evening a hustling, bustling crowd of shopoers Jostled and pushed each other about with the good natured indifference to aching muscles and tired limbs characteristic of the holiday season. In the afternoon a number of the local department stores -introduced the white haired old saint of Christmas eve, greatly to the delight of the youngsters who surrounded the mythical god of the chimney and stocking in hilarious glee, and took anything he happened to say as a stock phras to be repeated to parents and brothers and sisters.

The stores themselves were a blaze of light and color Saturday, evening, thousands of incandescenta being utilized to show more clearly the profusion of articles of every description and color displayed on the counters and shelves of the marts of trade. The Chrlstmajs stock of goods suitable for gifts is larger and more plentiful this year than ever before. The toymaker and designer have gone to the depths of the recesses of their art that they might produce original and unique creations to delight the eye and fill the soul with the joy of possession. The array of toys Includes miniatures of almost every conceivable object, and some of the mechanical designs are marvels, calculated to make the eves of the older folks as well as the little ones glisten with wonder. Local merchants expect an enormous Christmas trade in the next few weeks as the country in general is In a state of prosperity and the election of Theodore Roosevelt Is regarded by them as a sure sign of continued prosperity and correspondingly increased trade.

The way the holiday season opened up Saturday was another indication that the Christmas trade for 1904 will be record breaking and managers and superintendents of the big stores have taken the hint and are engasring extra clerks and taking every possible precaution to handle the crowds with facility. The stores will not open up in the evening until next week, but durin" that week nearly all of the local stores will remain open everv evening in order to glve the army of Christmas shoppers a chance to provide for all of their relatives and friends.

Putnam of this city. The pictures are hung in tha rotunda on the second floor of the building. This part of the structure is so constructed as to make an ideal art gallery and all of the conditions are such as to display the pictures to the most advantage. The photographs average about 16x 20 inches in size and they have been appropriately framed which adds greatly to their value. The Braun method of reproduction is the best known and the people who see this collection have the satisfaction of knowing that the pictures are as nearly like the original as they can be made.

The greatest names known to art are represented on the waUs at the library. Rembrant, Mlcliael Angelo, Millet, VanEyck, Velasquez. Raphael, Titian, Reni, VanDycke, Reynolds and Gainsborough are among those whose masterpieces were selected by Mr Put-nam for his collection. Reproductions of the most famous portraits and pictures of each master can be seen and enjoyed by anyone who cares to visit the exhibit. For the convenience of visitors, a card has been attached to each picture, bearing the title of the work, the name of the artist, the time of his birth and death, his nationality, the time the picture was painted and the location of the original.

WHAT IS LEFT TO GO FOR BOOKS The council will meet in a special session this evening to take action regarding the disposal of the remainder of the library site fund. After the lot had been purchased and Improved it was found that there was a balance in this fund and to date there is a surplus of $3,756.25. The council will meet this evening to discuss what is to be done with this and it is probable that It will be transferred into a fund for books. There is a big demand for volumnes on science and literature and such reading material that the library does not contain and the Pentlment seems to be that no better use could be found for this money than to supply the demand of the public for books of this description.

It seems to be very fortunate that this amount should come in just at the time when it needed for uch a worthy cause and it will result In niacin on the reading Shelves vol umes that would not have been secured for some time otherwise. The council will also consider the Clifton Hill plat which is that of the property recently purchased by M. D. Petersen from the Davenport sisters. The plat was filed with the city clerk today and It will come up at the meeting tonight for approval.

Ryan grot into two disturbances In Butktown Sunday night and as a result he was riven 20 days in jail by Mayor Phillips who sat on the police bench this morning In the absence of Police Judge Finger. Ryan imbibed too freely of the am ber fluid, went the red lights and is now due to have his Christmas festival with the sheriff.

He first called on the house operated by Daisy Berry in the lower part of the city, and as he seemed to be Incorrigible he was ordered out of the room. In going he struck Miss Berry and an emp ty beer bottle was promptly fired at his head. Ryan, however, was not satisfied and as soon as he reached the street, he began cannonading the place with bricks, and succeeded in breaking open the door. Officer Sanford was notified of the trouble, and began a search for the miscreant. When he found him, Ryan, who seems to have all the qualities once held by his namesake the pugilist, was in another scrape with Gus Schuldt at the tomalie wagon at second and Rock Island streets.

Schuldt was given 10 days in jail, and Ryan was sentenced as above noted. Herman Grothusen, who resides In the west end, fired off a few blank cardtrldges in order to scare one of his neighbors last night, and was locked up. When placed on the stand tagonist, ana ne promised mat were he released that he would never do it again. Mayor Phillips let bim go with a suspended sentence of 10 days hanging over his head if he again discharged firearms within the city limits. Officer Schleuter brought him to" the station, and the hearing was continued until 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.

MUST GO BACK TO PENITENTIARY Rudolph Hauschild must go back to Ft. Madison and serve out an unex- pired sentence. This is the statement of the officers and a warrant has been served on Hauschild at the stone pile where he is serving out an unexpired penitence Hauschild was sentenced to the pen itentiary in September, 1900 for five years on a charge of larceny from the person. He was paroled September 9, 1901 and would probably have been discharged had it not been that the officers claim he has been going wrong again. Some time ago he was arrested for sending in a false report to the officer and was given 30 days In jail.

Then the officers began to look up his record with the result noted above. OBITUARY Jaeger Jurgen H. Jaeger died this morning at 10 o'clock at his home. 1217 West Third street, after an illness of 10 weeks from rheumatism. The deceased was born in Holsteln.

WILL TAKE UP THE QUESTION OF ADJUSTING RATES Moonlight Lights Are Liable to be Dispensed With and Only All Night Ones Uaed The light committee, will this week begin the difficult task of preparing a rate for the city lights.

The question is one that will involve considerable investigation and it will probably be some time before the matter Is adjusted. The adjustment of the light rates comes as an order from the court and the city officials have the right to make the rates on the lights used by the city. The gas company, however, can accept the rates or not as it sees' fit and unless some understanding is reached between the city officials the matter will be again thrown back in court. The present rate which the company Is receiving Is $56 for moon light lights and $S5 for all night lights. There is some discussion, however, as to whether it would not be best to abandon the moonlight lights and have only those that burn all night This plan is being adopted by many of the cities the.

size of Davenport and is said to give much better satisfaction. SOCIETY MORGAN-REUPKE NUPTIALS QUIETLY CELEBRATED At the home of the bride's parents, Mr and Mrs Charles W.

PETER BLUM IS ARRESTED IN ILLINOIS TOWN Alleged to ba Ono Who Robbed tha Davenport Jewelry Store More Than a Year Ago Peter Blum, who is charged with the robbery of the Davenport Jewelry company's store about two years ago, has been arrested In Dwight. 111.

He was placed in Jail there under another charge, and communications between the county sheriff and Chief of Police Herzog proved conclusively that Blum la the man wanted in this city. Chief Herzog this morning delivered a warrant into the hands of Sheriff McAx-thur and the latter will leave for Pon-tiac. 111., in the morning to return with the prisoner. It will be remembered that about two years ago the Davenport Jewelry company's store, of which Chris Bo-denthin and Pottharst were the proprietors, was robbed in the midst of one of the worst thunder 6torms with which the city of Davenport was visited that year. The prime actors in the deed broke the plate glass window In the store, gained entrance thereby and got away with the goods without being caught.

Now Peter Blum is apprehended two years later in Illinois. He had with him at the time of his arrest a quantity of jewelry which is said to be the jewelry taken from the store. By the marks on some of the goods Mr Bodenthin identified it as the Jewelry which was taken from the Davenport store at the time of the robbery. Blum also had some nackties, silk stockings and other dry goods in his possession, and it is susnected that he has been connected with other deals since he visited this city two years ago. Sheriff McArthur will leave for the prisoner probably tomorrow morning.

If the latter refuses to come, requisition papers will be secured and the prisoner will be brought back here to stand trial. VETERANS HOLD ANNUAL ELECTION The annual election of officers of Txgan Council No. 1 of the U. V. U.
