MT. and Mrs. 0. II. Allen celebrated
the ninth anniversary of their wedding
day last Monday evening by inviting
a few Of their neighbors and friends
to nice little supper at their resi-
dence, 522 Martin street. The even
ing was passed very delightfully."- by
those present. They were the recip-
tents of several handsome presents.
Next week, commencing Sunday
evening, the Neill company will pre-
sent an original three-act comedy en-
titled "Matrimony," by Arthur James
Peglar, of Minneapolis. The play is
now in rehearsal, and appears to be an
exceptionally lively comedy, brisk and
lively in action, bright and sparkling
in dialogue, and full of original COM
edy situations The performance Sun
day night will be the first production
of this play on any stage.
From all indications, it is doubtful
if there will be any empty seats in
the Grand Opera House during the
coming engagement in this city of
Charles Hoyt's best comedy effort,
with all it's elaborate scenery and gor-
geous costumes, precisely the same as
produced at Hoyt's Theatre, in New
York, entitled "a Stranger in New
York. The cast is headed by Paul
T. Nicholson, Jr., who will be remem-
bered as leading comedian of the Neil
son Opera Company last season.
The popular, romantic actor, Robert B.
Mantell, will present his new play, "The
Dagger and the Cross in this city this
season. It is dramatization of Joseph
Hatton's famous novel of the same name
Secret Warrant and ether successful
plays, and it is claimed to be the strong
est that Mr.. Mantell has ever attempted.
Manager M. w. Hanley has surrounded
the star with a company of recognized
ability and the result will undoubtedly be
a performance Of great effectiveness. .

RETURN OF lowA,s soLD1Ens.
State Delegation Expects to Meet Them
on Their Return.


Des Moines, July 29.-The govern-
ment has ordered mail for the mem
bers of the Fifty-irst Iowa regiment
now in the philippines to be stopped
at San Francisco. This means the re-
turn of the Iowa troops within a very
few weeks. Adjutant General Byers
said Friday that he believed the regi-
ment will be started home from Mani
la within two weeks. He fully ex-
poets them to reach San Francisco by
the middle of September and at home
at least by the first of October.
At least the adjutant general, per-
haps the governor, and possibly dele
CATION will meet the boys at San Fran
cisco to welcome them home. 1t has
been suggested that Governor Shaw
and Adjutant General Byers and par
ty should meet the Iowa soldiers upon
their return, representing the state OF
Iowa, as an honor to the brave bows.
The matter can be arranged without
expense to the state except for the mil
itary representatives and would be an
appropriate thing to arrange.
1t is settled that the regiment will
be discharged at Sam Francisco. 1t is
probable, however, that all of the boys
will return to their homes in Iowa at
once. They saw San Francisco while
they were in camp there. 1t is thought
that THE Des Moines companies, A and
H., will come home as Organizations.
A royal welcome will be given them.

NIGHT p. o. SERVICE.
Is Heartily Commended by the Third
Assistant Postmaster General,

The third assistant postmaster gen
eral has issued general letter to
presidential postmasters, heartily COM
mending night postofiice service for the
benefit of the public, such as has re-
Gently been inaugurated at the Ottum-
wa postoffice. The letter refers par
ticularly to the registration of mail.
In addition to the registration service,
the sale of stamps and the delivery of
regular mail matter when called for,
the Ottumwa postoffice now issues and
pays money orders al the night win
dow, from to IL o'clock. These ex-
ira facilities are already greatly APP
preciated by travelling men, and the
general public who cannot get to the
postof1ice during the usual business
hours. As will be seen by the follow
ing letter. the providing of these spec
ial accommodations is optional with
the postmaster:
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Madden's letter follows:
For the Information of Postmaster
In the larger cities there are many
persons, especially in the transient and
working classes, who are unable. from
their hours of employment or other

station during regular business hours.
To meet the needs of these patrons,
postmasters at the leading postoffices
have arranged to keep their stamp
and general delivery windows open I'M
til late hour in the evening; and late
ly some enterprising postmasters have
opened up the advantages of the reg
istry system to this class of patrons.
by supplying the clerks at the night
stamp windows with a book of registry
receipts,and authorizing the receipt Of
matter for registration during the
hours which the stamp windows are
lsept open, proper safeguards, OF
course, being supplied.
The plan, according to reports, has
met >..,n much success, the results are
beneficial, and the department strong
fly approves of the scheme; and its
adoption, where practicable, and in the
direction of serving the public need, is
recommended; but is left optional with
postmasters. 1t is earnestly hoped,
however, that careful consideration
and perhaps a trial of the plan may
result in its application at every large
postotfice.
This Office wishes to be advised of
every instance of the putting of the
foregoing suggestion into effect.

PACKING HOUSE PICNIC.
Iowa Central Getting Ready to Handle
the Crowds.

Marshalltown Times7Republican: On
account of the eXyepysiop of the en-
ployes 81 The John. rMoir5ell & Co. pork
Grinnell. which is to occur on August
II, the Central is making arrange
ments already. An Ottdmwa estimate
bases the number of people to attend
the excursion as 1000, and figuring on
that number it will be necessary for
the road to solicit foreign, passenger
equipment, as the bulk of the COM
pany's equipment is regularly in use.
The company is arranging for twenty
six foreign coaches and intend running
trains aggregating thirty-five coaches
into Grinnell. The excursion is an an
nual affair, beirr picnic for the en-
ployes of the packing house and their
families. 1t seems each year the em-
.ployes are coming further north and
probably next wear they will visit this
city. Oskaloosa was the scene of the
festivities last year.

W. G. MARTIN RESIGNS.
Acting General Passenger Agent of the
Iowa Central Quits.

The many friends in this city of jo-j
vial Will G. Martin, formerly travelling
passenger agent of the Iowa Central,
but for the past year its acting gener-
al passenger agent, will regret to learn
that he has resigned his position with
that road. No more popular railroad
man ever made periodical trips to OF
tumwa where his frequent visits MAIDS
him countless friends among the bust
ness men and citizens. Speaking of
the resignation, the Marshalltown
Times-Republican of last evening says:

ing, VIII G. Martin, for little over a
year past acting general passenger
agent of the Iowa Central railroad. sew
ers his connection with the road.
Mr.. Martin says he takes the step
on account of his understanding as to
the feeling that has existed among the
New York officials to his original ap-
pointment, being, as he is, brother
of the general manager. In order to
help. if possible, smooth over some lit
tie difficulties that may have arisen, he
deemed it the best step for all concerns
ed to give up his position.
"Mr. Martin has now had charge of
the passenger department. one year and
one month, succeeding Thomas p. Bar
-ry, for many years general passenger
agent of the road. He has made a
good record and the earnings of the
department were increased $31 900 over
the corresponding year, and, in fact,
$4,000 over any previous year in the
history of the company since 1892.
although not an old man in years,
Mr.. Martin is an old railroad man. his
experience dating back twenty-four
years ago. His railroad career was be-
gun in 1875 at Pella, as telegraph
operator in the employ of the Keokuk
and Des Moines railway, now part Of
the Rock Island system. Strict atten-
tion to business and good work soon
secured him advancement to the posi-
and later on he received promotion to
be cashier in the local offices of that
road in Des Moines, and subsequently
local freight agent there.
Several years later he resigned his
position to take another with the com
pany that constructed an extension of
The Denver q Rio Granjle railway. and
upon the completion of the work he
took position in the city ticket Office
of the Union Pacific at Denver.
''From Denver Mr.. Martin went to
Central America in the employ of a
party of capitalists who sought to
build railroad in that country, but
the promoters failing to place their
bonds. the scheme was abandoned and
the party returned to the United

Paul E. Faust Accepts the Position of
Advertising Manager OF the Daven-

port Times.
|. Paul L. Faust has resigned the posi-
tion of advertising manager of the
Courier and accepted similar posi-
ton with the Davenport Times, and de-
parted last evening for his new field
of labor. Mr.. Faust is valuable man,
and the Courier will find it difficult to
replace him. 1t is now little over
two years, when, fresh from the halls
of the State University, he walked into
the Courier Office total stranger. and
asked for lob" As usual, there was
no Job" lying around loose, and Mr..
Faust was so informed. AS unusual"
Mr.. Faust did not take "no" for an
answer, but said, .Mr. Publisher, you
want subscribers do you not?" The
reply was, Eyes, certainly! A pub
Usher always wants subscribers" To
which Mr.. Faust replied, "Then, with
your permission. will go out and get
Them" And he did and each day since
Mr.. Faust has exhibited not only un-
usual industry and determination, but
has demonstrated that he is able to 'sdo
thinos." He has been with this paper
constantly since. and only leaves it
now to enter upon a larger field, that
will present still greater opportunities
for. the exercise of his recognized abil-
tiles. The Courier heartily commends
this young man of sterling integrity
and personal worth to the business
and social public of Davenport. He is
young man of whom we believe it
may be truly said. he can "carry a
message to Garcia"

BOTTLERS ON STRIKE
Fourteen Employees of silvers 8 Co.
Walked Out.
MEN WANTED $3.50 PER DAY WAGES

Member Of the Firm Says They
Have Places ali Filled and

From Tuesdays Daily.
Fourteen bottlers employed by the
local agency of the Schlitz Brewing
Co., conducted by W. silvers & Co.
went out on a strike this morning, de-
manding an increase of salary from
$1.OO to $1.50 a day.
ID. w. Jones is president of the Bot
tiers Union, which was recently or
ganized, L. w. Price, secretary, and
Chas. Dutton, treasurer. The bottlers
claim that they cannot work and live
for less than $3.50 day, and hence
they struck. The bottlers say they
have no idea of a failure in their strike
as large amount of the beer is soldin
mining camps and to the miners. These
miners are all union men, and the bot
tiers are confident that they will re-
ceive the support of the miners, and
thereby carry out their demand.
In speaking of the strike, George Sill
vers, member of the firm, said: 1--WE
were paying the bottle washers, boys
from IA to 16 years old, SIS per week,
and we were paying the bottlers from
Wv " PA pei NCCA. IuCN ulttlt d QeIIlduQ
of $1.50 for all work, and upon our re-
fusal to give it to them they went out,
fourteen in number, at 0 O'clock this
morning We have been expecting
such move, and prepared for it, and
fifteen minutes after they went out we
had everything running. All the bot
tier washers returned to work, and
one or two of the bottlers. The other
vacancies left were filled with new
men. We have discharged three Of the
leaders of the strike, and we antici-
pate no trouble as a result of the
strike"
The men claim that it was owing to
the discharge of these men that the
trouble originated. The movement
was started several weeks ago. The
company heard of it and discharged
these men whom they thought We're
the leaders. This led the others to
follow up and make the demand, which
was refused, and they struck.

THE NEW OWNERS.
H. f. Farwell Will at Once TAX
Charge of Long Distance Lines.
Erorp rrhurcdnysc na;1v

HI. F. FarWell Will at Once TAX
Charge OF Long Distance Lines.
From thursdays Daily.
II. +. Farwell, of Astoria, ILL.,, the
gentleman who yesterday purchased
the riohts, property and franchise of
the Ottumwa Long Distance Telephone
company and also the long distance
lines of the Ottumwa Telephone com
pany. of which mention was made in
yesterdays paper, was seen this morn
ing by a Courier reporter, relative to:
his plans for the future. Mr.. Farwell
will consolidate the two systems, and
personally superintend the business,
which for the time being will be con-
Quoted in the former Offices of the old
companM. 1t is the intention of the
new management to thoroughly over
haul all fhe toll lines and put them
in the best condition possible. Mr..
Farwen strongly favors the consolida-
ton of all the independent lines in the
state. The report that Mr.. Farwell
was negotiating for the purchase of
the local system of the Ottumwa Tele-
phone company was strenuously denied
by him this morning.
The transaction BY which Mr.. Far
well secured the above property was
one involving $11,50O, and represents
about $50 miles of line, besides the Of
flee equipment of the exchange. The
line extending from Eddyville to Ba-
tayia via this city, and formerly own
ed by the Ottumwa Telephone COM
pany, was decided to the Ottumwa Long
Distance Telephone company, for the
sum of $1,soO, which, deducted from
the $11 800, the total purchase price,
would represent the amount received
for the line and equipment, of the OF
tumwa Long Distance Telephone COM
pany, which is $9,7O0. The purchase
price, while considerably under the
actual amount expended for the con-
struction of the system, is considered
good price for the property. 1t has
not been paying investment, and is
said to be much deprecated in its
present condition. Mr.. Farwell has
ample capital to place the system in
first class condition in every respect,
and it is believed that as soon as this
can be done, it will be as good
a paying toll line as there is in the
state. j. G. Goddard, the former man.
ager of the Ottumwa Long Distance
Telephone company, accompanied by
his family, departed on Burlington No.
2 last night for Unionville, Ohio, where
they will make their future home. Mr..
Goddard has not decided on any def
mite business plans for the future, and
expects to enjoy vacation of several
weeks before engaging in anything
very actively.
R. l.. Harden and little daughter, de-
parted on Burlington No. 6 this af-
ternoon for Lewiston, ILL.,, to visit a
few days at the home of Mr.. Harben's
parents. Mr.. Harden has been acting
as secretary of the Ottumwa Long Dis
tance Telephone company for the past
two weeks.
