A New Bridge.

Brighton Enterprise. We have it
from official sources that the B.& w.
R'y will replace the high wooden
bridge over Henderson creek just
east of town with a new iron struc-
ture of standard strength and dimen-
sion. Work is to commence at ear
lest possible moment in the spring
and continue until the completion of
the bridge. A large amount of stone
will be used and our local quarries
should arrange to furnish it. Head
quarters for the workmen will be
here and the hotels, boarding houses
and merchants may expect to profit
considerably because of this fact.
The management of this popular lit
tie road is sparing no expense in put
ting it in first class physical condi-
ton. Roadmaster j. T. Sheahan has
full charge of the work of improve
ment and is doing excellent work.

Another View.

Over the signature of Business
Man" in Monday nights HERALD the
saloon element seeks to bolster up it's
waning fortunes by lot of cunning
ly devised fables, we'll calculated to
appeal to the pecuniary interests of
the voters.
They tell how many thousand dol
lars it costs to run the city and how
much the saloons contribute to this
fund. They bewail the depleted con-
dition of the treasury that would re-
suit from the closing of the saloons,
but forget to mention the fact that in
closing the saloon we remove the
cause of the great annual expense to
the city. They also forget to say that
for every dollar of revenue we get
from the saloon we spend S21 in car
ing for criminals, insane and poor,
caused by the liquor traffic, and this
comes from the highest authority in
the United States, Carroll d. Wright.
The writer of said article is also
much concerned lest some of the
buildings now occupied by saloons
would remain unoccupied if the sa-
looms were closed But to thought
full person it would seem that the
money spent in these places would
support an equal number of legitimate
business enterprises, and a whole lot
of women and children would rejoice
in the luxury of decent clothes and
moreover would have three square
meals a day.
The author of said article ignores
the moral side of the question, well
knowing he has no argument there,
and tries to tell US that the miners
will go 20 miles to Ottumwa to trade
just because he can get drink by so
doing, when it is quite apparent to
all that he will come to Oskaloosa
and spend his cash, (beer money and
all with our merchants.
But the voters will not ignore the
moral side of the question nor will
they consent to run the city any more
even partially at the sacrifice of
their dearest treasures, the boys.
They are rising in the dignity of out
ragged citizenship to crush out this
infamous traffic and to speak for
good, clean sober city.
Friends we invite you all to Join us.
Get in line and help push good
thing along.

Our ColOred Preacher.

Keota Eagle: A colored preacher,
Rev. H. s. Skanes, of Oskaloosa,
worked this territory diligently Satur-
day, collecting money for the build
ing of a church for his people at Os-
kaloosa and so we'll did he succeed
that his fund was increased by $40
and he went his way "happy and
shoutin" as he expressed his feelings.
He was gratified at the receipt of a
couple OF baskets of good things sent
to his wife as a present from Mrs.
Ora Taylor, who used to know her
at Knoxville. He took dinner with
Rev. and Mrs. Palmer, and altogether
felt as though he had been quite
handsomely treated by the good peo-
pie of Keota. If all negroes were as
intelligent as Mr.. Skanes the great
and terrible race problem that con-
fronts this people would be of quick
and easy solution. IL is only by such
work as he is engaged in-the edu-
cation the uplifting of the negro from
the depth of ignorance and helpless
ness in which he is groveling to a
plane of intellectually and useful
ness in citizenship somewhere on an
equal measure with the white-too
many of whom, alas, have no excise
to throw rocks at the black man-it
is only by such work that the race
question viii ever be settled and the
Eagle is happy to know that Keota
folks did so well by the colored
gentleman In his worthy enterprise.
BY this small mite they helped along
the final solution OF the great issue.

We're confirmed. An evening paper
states that 1t has reliable authority to
make public the fact that the division
of the archdiocese Of Dubuque has been
decided upon by Archbishop Keane, and
that Sioux City will get the new see;s
also that a council will meet in Du-

ers Cumerford. Of Lyons; Mclaughlin,
of Clinton; Burke, of Fort Dodge;
O'Dowd, of Independence; Carroll, Of
Dubuque; Johannes, Of Dubuque; Nc
Grath, OF Charles City. It is stated that
Bishop Lehman, OF Cheyenne, and Rev.
Father Heer, of Dyersville, are being
urged most for the new zee. The ap-
portionment of the two new sees to be
created has been left to the discretion
of Archbishop Keane and the suffragan
bishops. It is stated that the project IL

This would put Fort Dodge in the
Sioux City diocese. The meeting of the

day by his presence OF mind. Three men,
learning that a considerable sum Of
money would pass thru the little post
office at that place, entered the build

doing made noise enough to alarm Por-
ter. Instantly he opened the SAFE took
out the package Of money and slipping
1t into gunny sack tossed the sack into

covered him with guns. They could not
find any money. Ben Hatch, Jack
Hatch and Dave Tolliver are in jail at
Moab, Utah, charged with the attempt.

APEcUL1AR CASE.
Waterloo Boy lmpersonated Other
People and Used Vile Language
Over Telephone.

Waterloo, Nov. 23.-The case OF
Charles Colvin,: boy of Ii years, who
might easily be mistaken for 10 or 20
years old, charged with using obscene
language and with impersonating other
people, had q second hearing in the
mayors court yesterday. Among those
Colvin Is charged with mpersonating
iis City Marshal c. w Wetlaufer and.
Frank Pinkerton, of Pinkerton's gro
Gerry.
The story is that the young man
would go to telephones located at such
places as he could talk undisturbed and
his conversation would not be over
heard by any one except the one for
whom 1t was intended. Several estima-
BILE ladies' well known in social and
charitable circles We're made the targets
of the young mans talk and lady teach
ers employed in the West side schools
were often called to the phone only to
be insulted by vile language and jnde-
cent proposals.
Invariably the victim Of the telephone
saage would demand to know the
anne of the party talking. In some in
stances the Information was denied and
I In others the names of Wetlaufer,
Klingaman and Pinkerton We're given.
In nearly every case these gentlemen
Were known to the parties telephoned as
respectable gentlemen above any such
practice, and the Cedar Valley Te!e-
phone Company was notified, with the
| result that the young mans name was
discovered and the police notified.
Wednesday the young man wascaught
in the act Of telephoning to one Of the
teachers of the Emerson school build
ling. He used the name of Frank Pink
Ierton and endeavored to make date.
He was arrested and taken before the
4 mayor. A fine was imposed of $3.50 in
the case charging him with using OBJ
scene language and the case charging
him with impersonating others was
1continued. The young man had no de-
/ Tense, but was accompanied to the may
i org office by his father, who stated in
3Eopen court that he wanted his son pun
ished. He said that the boy had formed
La pernicious habit of talking badly
about every one and that he was nearly
4 beyond his parents influence. Mayor
4 krapfel sighed the matter in his minc
a and decided upon a novel punishment
for the boy. He had the names of sever
Il ladies whohad been insulted by the boy
i and inflicted as punishment that tn,
4 boy personally apologize to every lad,
X he had insulted and to bring line from
each one stating that he had made sucl
an apology. 1t is hoped that this pun
4. ishment will have a Wholesome effect OF
the boy.
