Home for Iowa consumptives.

A home for INDECENT consumptive
patients in Iowa is one of the possible
tiles of the near future. The next leg
islature will likely be asked to es-
tablish an institution for the isolation
and treatment of tuberculous persons.
The Iowa states board of health has
just issued 10000 circulars to be dis
tributed all over the state in an en-
deavor to arouse public sentiment to
the necessity of this enterprise. 1t is
stated that nine persons die daily in
Iowa of consumption. DR.. Corfu, a
member of the state board, says the
board is determined to educate the
people up to the danger in permitting
-consumptives to scatter the deadly
germ broadcast.

One hundred and siXty-three thous-
and nine hundred and fifty dollars has
been spent in South Ottumwa since
October /, 1899, for the erection of
new buildings on that side of the
river, except that $9,250 of this amount
represents the cost of additions to old
buildings and other improvements.
Casual observers are not cognizant of
the amount of work that has been
done during the past year in that thriv-
ing little city that can give any coun-
ty seat town in this section of the
country pointers on how to grow. 1t
is doubtful if the north side of the
river can make such showing, altho
there are no figures at hand to back
up the statement.
South ottumwa's Prosperity.
The South Side is growing. There
Is no mistake about it. Its prosperity
is apparent and with it's three bridges
spanning the Des Moines river, it's
numerous churches, it's manufactur-
ing interests and other desirable in
stitutions, it will continue to grow and
expand. Recently it was found neces-
sary to divide the place into two wards
SO big had the town grown and a few
years ago the department at Washing
ton needed the call of the citizens for
a postoffice and now two carriers dis
tribute mail from the station without
having to come to this side of the
river. The gas mains have been ex-
tended, the Odd Fellows have COM
pleted two-story brick building and
have another under way, which will
probably be completed next summer.
The prosperity has extended to the
churches, and at least four of them
have made extensive improvements,
81. Patrick's Catholic church has had
the interior remodeled and is plan
ming to install heating system, and
the Willard Street Methodist church
people have recently built an addition
to their edifice and completely re-
r.odeled the interior at the expense of
probably $4,000.
Amount of Building Done.
Many new residences have been
built in South Ottumwa since October
/, 1899. Many people who formerly
rented have built homes for them
selves; indeed, much of the building
has been done by this class of people
Notwithstanding this there are very
few houses to rent that are vacant.
With the completion of the Dain
plant a demand for dwellings came,
where most of the houses built during
the past twelve months have been
erected.
One year ago last August this addi-
ton was known as the Richards field
and was an eye sore to many South
Side people, But when the Dain
Manufacturing company decided to To-
cate in Ottumwa, this tract of land
was bought and plated The lots sold
rapidly and now the homes of many
citizens may be seen on what a short
time ago was a cornfield.

full and the following resume will give

WHERE IGNORANCE Is BLISS.
The Other Side of an Idol.

That's the carriage, Henry; the one
that just drove down the street. Every
Sunday night, just at duck, it waits on
the corner diagoually opposite our
house. for woman who comes from
some place in The block. A man gets
out Of the carriage. helps her in, and
they are driven away. I've found out
who the people are" and the invalid in
her low chair by the window raised her
pale face to her husbands habitually
listless one. With careless good humor
he turned toward her.
WELL" smilingly. how came you to
know"
"Felice found out all about"
"She leads life Of interrogation and
exclamation points, that pert little maid
OF yours" said he. There's no use Of
closing a door on a skeleton, il che is
near. Like love, she laughs at lock-
smiths"
"Yes, know she is curious, and I
often reprove her for it. but this time
the story is 80 interesting and pathetic
that listened"
THAT I'm going to keep urtil the
last. and see if you can guess. First.
Ill tell you all that Felice told me.
"She watched and found out from
which house the woman came. Then
she invited the attentions of the butler
of the family, whose overtures che had
hitherto repulsed. He is a man who
has long been in their service and until
he me: Felice, had guarded their secret
we'll. She frankly acknowledged that
he was tres diticile, but that, to her,
was no drawback. 1t only heightened
her epjoymsnt of the situation. By de-
grees, she learned this sad story Of the
daughter Of the family.
THE young woman has been engaged
to man of when her father and broth
er disapprove, for, although she was
very charming, they felt that the wealth
Of the family had something to do with
his attentions. He was forbidden the
house. She then made arrangements to
elope with him. He was to meet her at
this very corner, at this very hour, with
a carriage. They we're then to drive to
a minister's house to be married. She
felt that all would be forgiven her when
her father and brother realized her great
love for this man. and his great love for
her.
"She came to this appointed place,
and waited. Half the night she stood
in the shadow Of a neighbours house,

and strained her ears for the sound Of
carriage wheels. Then, cold, weary,
she crept back to the home she had de-
serted. She dragged herself up to the
steep marble steps leading to the front
door, and rang the bell. She gave no
thought to the surprise and constsrna-
ton her appearance there at that time
of the night would occasion. The but
Ter opened the door, and she attributed
his state Of apathy, il she thought at all,
to the fact Of his being a we'll trained
servant, rather than lack Of interest.
She was about to mount the stairs
leading to her apartments, when her
brother came out Of the library. He,
too, showed no curiosity at seeing her
there in the gray dawn in her outdoor
clothes. The sight of his pale. drawn
face finally aroused her numbed senses.
Like child, she held out her hands to
bin, while a mantle OF fear fell over her.
He drew her towards him, With the ten
derness he always showed her, led her
into the library, and closed the door.
There he told her, as gently as he could,
the terrible news.
Their father, seeing that he could no
longer ward off bankruptcy, had, that
afternoon, taken his own life.
"The poor girl tainted, and for many
weeks after that, the brother thought
that he was going to lose the only being
he had left on earth to love. The body
finally survived, but the tired brain
slept. Once week it awakened. Every
Sunday evening, just at dusk, she stole
from the house, came to this corner and
waited for her faithless lover. At first
her brother opposed her leaving the
house. but that caused her to become
violent. Their physician recommend
ed meeting her with a carriage, just
as the arrangement was made three
years ago.
"She leaves her home at the same
time every Sunday night. followed
by the faithful butler, who
sees that she reaches the corner in safety.
Her brother is there with carriage.
He alights, as the lover should have
done that terrible night, helps her in.
and they are driven away. That seems
TO satisfy her until the next week. when
the came proceeding takes place again.
"What became Of the man."
The butler told Felice that he mar
lied woman Of great wealth, who is an
Invalid. His wife adores him, but he
inds it necessary to be out Of town often
IN business. The butler admitted that
ne was considered fascinating by wo-
men.

RICH ORE PRODUCED
From Gold Location Held by Several

An unusually rich specim5 n of gold ore was shown in Bisbee by a profes- sional man of the town who is inter- ested in the claim from which the specimen was secured.
 The mine is situated, said the man, who was very rsticent, and for ob- viOus reasons, as he said, he was un- willing to give the exact locality at present. about six miles from here, and is in a position extremely eligible for working and the making of ore ship ments.
 The lead is clearly defined and the lode can be traced for a considerable distance, broken at intervals by un- even ground, but it can be easily taken up and traced again.
