Legal Status OF Otis,

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE state and war
departments to-day considered the legal
status of Otis In the Philippines. Yester-
day In the excitement attending the rati-
fication of the peace treaty many persons
lost sight of the fact that the treaty must.
before being binding, be ratified by both
the United States and Spain. In this con-
nection it was said at the state depart
ment to-day that, while the Americans are
still bound by the protocol, there is moth
ing in that document to prevent the Amer
lean commander from maintaining order
in the islands, and he, an fact, is COM
PEELED by the terms of the protocol to do

a New Money Order.

A new money order has been de-
vised and will be introduced by the
postoffce department about the
first of September. The present
form of money order is cumbersome,
unhandy and unsatisfactory. The
new order will be something after
hhe order of bank draft. The new
plan islto have the advice Ander the
money order and a sheet of carbon
paper between them SO that in fill
ing out the money order the advice
is made out at the same time the
order is dispatched. Attached to
the advice is the receipt, which will
be given to the remitter. Under
the present system no receipt is
given TO the purchaser. The new
order will not contain any notehed
edges to tear off, which has been a
source of annoyance to pOstmasters
and employees of the postOffice. 1t
is expected that under the new
system the fees will be cheaper as
the cost of making them will be less.

The Man Who Succeeds.

The man who makes a success of
an important venture never waits
for the crowd. He strikes out for
himself 1t takes nerve. 1t takes a
great lot of grit. But the man who
succeeds has both. Any one can
fail. The public admires the man
who has enough confidence in him
self to take chance. These chances
are the main thing after all. The
man who tries to succeed must ex-
Te;t to be criticised. Nothing i'm

Crop Report on Michigan
Wheat Yield.

years. The estimated average yield
per acre in the southern and central
counties is I bushels, in the northern
counties 10 bushels and for the state
s bushels. a large percentage Of
the total acreage was plowed up IN
the spring, and later many fields
were cut for hay. The total acre
age las, spring was 1900, coo acres.
With state average Of 5 bushels
per acre. this would Indicate crop
of ID, 900, 600 bushels. When other
factors are taken into consideration
however. crop of only 1000, 600
is indicated. The total number of
bushels of wheat reported marketed
by farmers in July was 595, 925, and
for the year ending August /, was

As compared with that of average
years, the condition of corn for the
entire state is 81. Conditions have
been favorable for oats, and good
crop has been harvested The
estimated average yield per acre
is b bushels for the state. The con.
dition of potatoes is 81 per cent for
the state, the southern being 93,

fed them and dined at the old gentle

full that the trouble was not yet over.

ECLIPSE OF THE MOON
0ttumwa People May Observe II Next
Saturday Evening.

People who failed to see the meteors
that astronomers prophesied would fall
few weeks ago, may next Saturday
evening observe practically total
eclipse of the moon and next to seeing
a shower of stars or total eclipse of
the sun this is the next best thing in
that line. One really nice thing about
the matter is that people will not be
compelled TO sit up until the early
morning hours to observe it as it is
prophesied that the occurrence will
happen early in the evening. The moon
will enter the shadow Of the earth
at about o'clock, Ottumwa time,
reach the maximum of observation at
about 1880 p. m. and will leave the
shadow of the earth at 1922 p. m.
The shadow of the earth will cover
almost the entire disc of the moon,
excepting small section, which, under
certain conditions may be altogether
invisible. If the atmospheric condi-
tons are favorable for observation the
obscured moon will appear as red
copper disc at the time Of the greatest
observation, owing to the diffused
light it receives from the rays of the
sun refracted through the atmosphere
of the earth. The eclipse will be Wis
ible in the United States, in Europe and
in some parts of Africa.

From TUESDAYS Daily

y
The propagation of typhoid fever
bacilli III the milk sold by a local milk
dealer was the subject that was upper
most in the minds of the city fathers
last evening when they convened as a
board of health. 1t was reported to
the board that milk dealer selling
milk in the city is unfortunate in hav-
ing typhoid fever in his family and
the inquiry presented itself as to whe-
ther or not any of the members of
for the utensils in which the milk was
kept, typhoid fever being communi-
cable disease. The railway gate ques-
ton was taken up by the council after
adjourning as board OF health and it
is understood that but one gate of any
kind will be placed at any of the rail-
way crossings. 1t may be stated al
most to certainty that the sense of
the meeting was to require the railway
companies to construct an automatic
gate at the Second street crossing of
the Milwaukee and to require four ad-
ditional watchmen to be employed at
the crossings between Iowa avenue
and Benton streets. Iowa avenue and
Market street are already protected
and it is understood that Vine, Jeffer-
son, Wapello and Benton streets will
be likewise safeguarded if the railway
companies and fine council can agree.
The council mu have taken the view
Of the railway panies that auto.
matte gates ars dangerous but il

ings it will show no disposition tc
evade the matter.
