in 1899. The increase in freigth
earnings was over SO, 900, 900, while in
the passenger department the earn
ings increased nearly 81 ,OO0,0 The
increase in the cost of operating is

BUSSEY BUILDING.
Town Is Recovering From the Recent
Destructive Fire.

Bussey Press: Yesterday deal
was consumated which assures Bus
sey another brick block. Walter
Way bought of Al Morris his corner
lot on the burnt district for which he
paid $500, and on that and the next
one owned by Mrs. Lowman, and on
which the old post Office was located
will build magnificent brick block.
Work on the Improvement will be
begun Immediately.
1t is rumored that the corner room
will be built especially for the new
clothing firm of Kaufman & Selig-
man. Who is to occupy the other
one is not known.
This will be a great improvement
to our city. The disastrous fire,
which was so discouraging to many,
seems to have been a blessing, as
now better and more substantial
buildings are being put up.

WAS IT SUICIDE?
Strange Message Found in a
Bottle at Eddyville.

Has some one committed suicide at
Eddyville or has some one been en-
deavoring to perpetrate a joke on
that community, is question that
arose at Eddyville yesterday when a
mysterious message was found in a
bottle in Des Moines river near the
new Iowa Central bridge.
Superintendent of bridges and
building Mr. ]. F. Boilleau, Of the
Central, was at his usual duties at
the place yesterday. He was work
ing near pile of drift that had
lodged against pier of the bridge.
Noticing a paper in bottle that was
caught on the edge of the drift, he
called to one of the workmen to get
the bottle for him. 1t was pint
bottle that had contained whisky,
and on the inside was eafthat had
been torn from an advertising note
book. The leaf bore the following
message:
"April 9, 1900.
This Day Consine My Body to
the Waters of Cedar Creek. A Bro
ken Heart. Near Cedar Greek
Bridge"
There was no name signed to the
message and the writing may have
been done by man or woman.
So far as can be learned there has
been no one missed from the local
ity and it is thought that the mes
sage was intended for hoax. The
matter will be Investigated, however,
and if there is anything in the APP
parent gruesome disclosures of the
bottle it will be developed within the
next few days.

THE BATTLE OF SAN JUAN.
The Man Who Fired the First Shot
was Wounded Eight Times.

Buffalo Bills Wild West and Con-
gress of Rough Riders of the World
will exhibit in Oskaloosa September
Z. This organization is we'll known
in this city and the public are well
aware of the fact that what Messrs.
Cody and Salisbury promise they al
ways carry out. This season the ex-
hibition excels anything that they
have yet attempted in the way of re
producing historical facts. One of
the newest being vivid production
of the battle of San Juan, in which
the entire company of 900 persons will
participate.
In order that everything connected
with the production may be as nearly
correct as possible there have been
engaged a number of the celebrated
Roosevelt Rough Riders, who were in
the thickest part of the battle. Spe-
cial scenery has been prepared and a
miniature hill built from photographs
taken of the memorable spot. Among
the Rough Riders who will partici-
pate in the event is Tom Isbel, who
has the distinction of having fired
the first shot and who received in re-
turn eight bullets, all of which made
their marks on different parts of his
body.

First ward improves.

There is no locality in the city that
can show more marked Improvement
in the past five years than the First
ward. The past year has added to
the record of previous years and to-
day there is no ward of the city where
property is looking up in better way
than in this ward.
A few years ego the First ward was
looked upon as the least to be desired
as residence portion Of the city.
There were a great number of the
poorer class of the residences of the
city in the ward and some of the
residents were little in advance of
the poorest of the poor-houses and
shacks.
Some one came into the ward and
built a new home that was of the
better class. Then some one else had
an addition. This led another to
think that perhaps his residence
would be improved by coat or two
of paint and so a movement set in
for general sprucing up of the
ward. People began to see that there
were improvements and more new
homes and tenement properties built.
There was a demand for the neater
of the residence properties, perman-
emit improvements were placed in the
ward in the way of cement sidewalks
| and grading of the streets. The
poorer of the houses were replaced
by good homes and things have taken
q new form.
Property in the First ward is now
considered as good as old wheat and
it is notable fact that there is an
increased demand of the same.
Vacant lots are being picked up
| wherever they are offered and any
number of new residences are going
up. So great has been the change
within comparatively short space
of time that it has become a subject
of general interest,
