DIR. A. G. WILSON HERE.
Has Some Photographs and Letter
From His Soldier Son.


DR.. A. G. Wilson, of Tekamah, Neh.,
was guest yesterday at the home of
his sister, Mrs. L. L. Rogers, on North
Market street, and left on Burlington
No. last evening for Onarga, III, to
visit relatives. DR.. Wilson recently re-
ceived a letter from his son, Arthur
r. Wilson. who is a member of Com
pany L, First regiment, Nebraska vol
unteer infantry, which has now re-
turned from Manila. He also has several
large photographs of scenes about Ma
Mia. One of the most striking is that
of a block house in the interior of Fl.
Malata. San Antoine, showing the eff
feet of Dewey's fire. The destruction
wrought by the American guns on this
house can hardly be conceived. Anoth-
er picture is that of block house in
which the First Nebraska was sta
toned on the night of August 2, 1898,
when the Spanish forces opened fire
on it. The building as represented in
the picture is an old brick convent.
1t was completely riddled by Spanish
bullets. Another view shows the for
tifcations of the Spanish near Ft. San
Antoine.
Mr.. Wilson's letter is descriptive of
the homeward trip. 1t enters into the
details of an ocean voyage and relates
many incidents of a trip to Japan.

THE FAIR AND CARNIVAL.
Name and Date Chosen for Ottumwa
Street Fair.

l. : " -s~->'S - -Ss1
The "Ottumwa Grand Carnival and
Street Fair is the name selected for
the coming four days exhibition
which will be held in this city com
mencing Sept. 20. The name and ex-
act date of the street fair were decided
upon at meeting of the executive
board of the association at the city
hall yesterday afternoon mt o'clock.
The meeting was called to order by
Mayor 7. j. Phillips who appointed
program committee comprising Judge
Charles Hall. G. IL. Salisbury and j..
Frank Jersey. 1t has already been
decided to terminate the week'samuse-
ment with Il big street carnival. and
the remainder of the program will be
arranged and announced TO the pub
lie as soon as possible. The report of
the soliciting committee was present
ed at the meeting yesterday afternoon
and showed an amount nearly snifi-
cient to make the fair 4 success. The
committee will continue the work of
solicitation a few days and those who
are not listed among the donors to this
enterprise should contribute at once.
The fair will mean much to Ottumwa
and the extent of its success from this
on depends on the manner in which the
merchants of the city take hold of it..

Mr.. Gall was interviewed by IL cour-
Ter reporter this morning, and i'll ans
rer to a query, he SAID there was no
truth in .hs rumor that The Milwaukee
people were going to absorb the Iowa
Central system. He stated shat for the
past number of years this question of
purchasing the Iowa Central has been
source of conversation among rail
road men. and the road officials. The
reported increase in the price of the
Iowa Central preferred stocks, he said,
was probably due to an increase in the
earnings OF the company. When ques-
toned further on the subject of the
Milwaukee absorbing the Central, he
said: 1T may be that the directors
of the road have talked more favorably
of this matter lately, and this may have
caused the rumor. So far as / know
there is truth in it, and know moth.

FARMERS BUYING LOTS.
The Datn Addition BEGINNING to At

The Dain addition has commenced
to attract the attention of Wapello
county farmers. and already a number
of them have purchased lots therein,
They realize the Importance of secur-
inc this plant for Ottumwa and feel
called upon to assist in the undertake
ing. Aside from this phase of the
question, those who have investigated
the matter realize that money invested
in Dain addition property is ,judiciously
expended and can result in nothing but
good. While it is conceded that OF
1umwa will receive the greatest bene-
fit by the location of the plant here,
yet the farmers of Wapello county
should awaken TO the full realization
of what it will mean to them. The
Dain factory is a concern manufac:ur-
ing agricultural implements, such as
are used in large quantities in this
county. 1t is an industry employing
several hundred men the year around,
and is one that will build mp the city.
The effect of growing county seat,
will have a natural tendency 10 en-
hance the value of farm land in Wa
pello county and much benefits to the
farmers will result from The location
of the Dain plant in Ottap,wa. The
Importance of disposing of the remain
ing lots in the Dain addition before
the expiration of the time agreed upon
in the contract with the com
pany and the promoters of tie enter
prise of bringing the factory to OF
tumwa. is twofold. If the los are not
sold and Ottumwa thereby loses the
factory, the city will not only have
lost that which will add thousands OF
dollars TO the value of Ottumwa real
estate and afford permanent employ
ment for two or three hundred people.
Lut the city will have placed on itself
the stigma OF failure, and will dc M

getting anything of this nature in he
future. Dttumwa people, both north
and south of the river, who are conteai-

their purchases at once.

this city and the nearby seashores New York

Branch and Coney Island and the ferries to Staten
Island and or two other points makes very little

Franco and tho Spanish Debt.

yne eympathy Of great number OF the
French people with Spain during our late
war, and their hostility to this country.
were in various ways dlsagreesbly mani
tested to American citizens who came In
contact with them. The French also dis
played their friendliness to Spain and con-
f1dence in the success Of her arms by buy
ing largely OF her Government bonds at the
reduced prices to which they fell in conse-
auence OF her war with us. Spain, in re-
turn, showed her gratitude by continuing
to pay the French. as we'll as other foreign
holders OF her bonds, their interest In gold.
while her own citizens had to be content
with payment in deprecated paper or sill
yer currency.
Now that the war s over. and Spain has
nothing to gain from the friendship OF
France, she has announced that she will pay
the interest on her bonds In currency,
whether they are held by foreigners or by
Spaniards, will subject them to an in
come tax and will not pay any OF the prin-
cipal when it falls due. OF tho $500, oOO,-
600 thus affected, it is computed that
S27OO OO, 900 isin the hands OF Frenchmen
and Belgians, and the French Government
has, in consequence, seml-onlclally notineu
Spain that 1t would regret to see any tax
laid upon or reduction made In the coupons
OF the Exterior Debt" 1t has also pointed
out in friendly way that as the greater
part OF the Spanish securities are in the
hands Of French holders, such measure
would naturally make difficult any negotia-
tions with the French market should Spain
again be obliged to seek its assistance"
or course, Spain will reply that her pow
erty and not her will drives her to the step
she has taken, and her French creditors
will have to submit to the loss with which
they are threatened. The citizens OF this
country will not lament deeply their mis-
fortune. They will look upon 1t as they do
upon that which overlook the British sub
scribers to the Confederate bonds during
our civil war and will trust that 1t will be q
lesson for the future to foreigners not to
give aid and comfort to our enemies.

FRENCH HIDES FROM ENGLISH PORTS
Shipped Here as OF English Origin and
Thereby Escape Disinfection.

WASHINGTON. June 1.-The Treasury De-
partment has acknowledged the receipt from
the State Department OF a letter written from
Paris by tho United States Consul in that city,
saying that French dealers are sending hides
OF neat cattle the product Of France. to Eng
land and having them declared for export to
the United States as OF English origin. The
Treasury Department allows the i'm portation
OF hides without distinction from only three
countries. Great Britain. Norway and Sweden,
on account OF the fear that disease will be
transmitted.
II. therefore. says Secretary Gage In reply
ing to the communication from the State De-
partment. French moist hides have been
shipped to the United States from English
ports under the guise Of English abattoir hides
1t would seem that shippers have been making
false declarations that United States consular
officers in England have not exercised suf-
fcient care and watchfulness in the authenti-
cation OF invoices of such shipments. and
that the official veterinarians have either
their certificates without inquiry to the
laches would suggest that the attention OF
the consular officers be at once called to the
matter. with instructions to carefully scruti-
niZe all invoices Of abattoir hides and to refuse
authorization unless satisfied beyond a doubt
as'to tho English origin thereof and the cor
rectness OF the certificates OF the official veter-
inarlanS.'
