Meets ana MakeB Plans
From Fridays Daily.
Cedar Rapids Republican: ''Post-
master j. @. Saint, of Marshalltown,
Postmaster A. w. Lee of Ottumwa, and
Postmaster Gardner of Clinton, mem
bers of the executive committee of the
Iowa State Postmasters' Association,
were here Tuesday for the purpose of
making arrangements for the second
annual convention of the association.
This association was formed last year
and the first annual convention was
held in this city. It was quite large
ly attended and was very successful.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to hold the second annual con-
vention at Marshalltown on May 16
and II. A program was partially for
mulated and special committee con.
sisting of Postmaster Lee, of Ottumwa,
and Postmaster Junkin, Of Fairfield,
was selected to complete it. 1t is ex-
pected that two or three gentlemen
prominent in the postal service will
be at the convention and make address,
es. 1t is expected that the attendance
at the coming convention will be large
as it is intended to invite all the post
masters of the state to become mem
bers. Last year the membership was
limited to the posamasters of the free

THEY TELL IT ON HIM.
Omcer w. p. Gibson, of ST. zoe, Com.
pletes His Visit.
From Tuesdays Daily.

w. P. Gibson, of st. Joe, Mo-, who
has been the guest of members of the
Ottumwa police force for the past three
days, returned home this afternoon.
During his sojourn in the city Mr.. Glib
son was Showed" everything there
was to be seen, and when he left, con-
fded in the police his opinion. that OF
tumwa isn't such a bad place after all.
The police say that the evening Gibson
arrived in the city he refused to walk
up town on the walks, but got out in
the middle of the street. He after
wards explained that he did this thru
fear. He had heard that Ottumwa was
very wicked city and that the police
were very negligent of their duty, etc.,
and consequently the Missourian was
fearful lest he should be held up.
Mr.. Gibson's mission to Ottumwa was
for the purpose Of securing j. r. Raj
ston, a man whom the Ottumwa police
arrested last Friday, on Telegram pied
information from the chief of police at
St. Joe, charging Ralston with grand
larceny. The prisoner said he would
return with the officer, but afterwards
refused to go without the necessary
requisition papers. Mike Morrissey ac-
cuses Gibson of having entered into a
conspiracy with Ralston, whereby the
latter demanded requisition proceed
ings in order to permit the ''cop" from
St. Joe to remain in Ottumwa that
much longer and thus enjoy the hos
pitality of Chief of Police Williams,
Kent and the rest of them. Captain
Gray denies the charge made by Nor
rissey, against Gibson, and gives the
latter credit of being good man for
the city. John says in substantiation
of the assertion that Gibson wanted to
make so certain of his man when he
got here, that he came armed with a
big horse pistol in each hip pocket,
two pairs Of handouts; ''billy" and
twenty feet of new hemp rope. Be
that as it may, the Ottumwa police ar
rested the man in question, and Off
Ger Gibson remained until he could
lawfully take him from rhis state into
Missouri, where he says there is not
much doubt of his being found guilty
of the crime with which he is charged.
Ralston is said to have stolen number
of surgical instruments from surgeon
at st. Joe, Jan. 81.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The people of Ottumwa who hooted
the idea of Ottumwa's securing pearl
button factory when the same was
first mentioned in the Courier some
tome ago, may yet see the realization
of all that was proposed or predicted
at that time. A. Butcher, a button
manufacturer, of Muscatlne, who Wis
tied Ottumwa last summer and was
assured that there is sufficiency of
shells in the river at this place to war
rann the establishment of factory,
has been diligently at work ever since
to bring about the matter of removing
his factory from Muscatine to Ottum-
wa. He has experimental somewhat
with the Des Moines river mussel shells
and says he is quite certain that it will
be practicable to make buttons from
them. A number of business men of
the city are of the same opinion, jndg-
ing from the manner in which they
have taken up the matter. They have
made Mr.. Butcher proposition where
by fifty men are to each pay him SIS
as soon as his factory is in operation.
of six months after the first payment
~ 40 w ASSSifO q SCCOA0 pay lAShU VI
SIS from each of the fifty men, and
the annual payment of $50 will be con-
tinued for three years. That is the
proposition that the business men are
considering today, and many of them
have already signed it. It is viewed as
a very good compromise. There is no
bonus to get the industry, and on the
other hand ID represents a fund, made
in small payments every six months,
which will insure the establishment OF
the factory. Mr.. Butcher, under the
contract will come to Ottumwa, rent
his own buildings and defray all his
own expenses. Ottumwa will assist
him if he does all this. Mr.. Butcher
said this morning that he would have
the plant in operation by May 1, pro-
yiding this guarantee is made immedi-
ately, in order that he can begin the
work of moving his factory. He will
employ about forty-6ye people.

Pictures of Electricity

The photography of lightning is sci
ence's latest achievement. These are
called "electrographs," and are con-
sidered of great value in the future
knowledge of electricity. 1t is well
known that person struck by light
ming bears an impression resembling
a tree. The electrograph has proved
that this i., is because lightning itself has
a vivid impression wherever it strikes.
In this respect it is similar to the fam
GUS medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which also leaves its impression
that of health-upon every one who
ues it. This great specific is for all
stomach ills, such as dyspepsia, con-
stipation, biliousness, malaria, kidney
trouble, and all ailments which arise
from impaired digestion. 1t win not
offend the weakesa stomach.
