NEW STREET CAR TRACKS.
City Abdomen Object to the Laying of

City Abdomen Object to the Laying of
st" Rails on North Court Street.
There is disagreement between
the city aldermen and the street rail
way company concerning the style of
rails to be on the new track on North
Court street, running out to the Gene
teIy. A few days ago when the street
railway company began laying the
track and putting down a sxty-pound
T rail, the street committee of the
council notified them that they had
expected that the regular tram rail
would be laid.
The company temporarily ceased
work but gang of men was at work
again Sunday putting down the r
rails. The councilmen have been eau
cusing on the matter and at the regu-
lar meeting of the council this evening
they will make recommendation re-
garding the question. These I rails
are slightly lower than the regular
tram raj and are unsatisfactory to
the councilmen in other respects

SAYS IT'S TOO MUCH.
Council Will Not Pay $4,000 for An
heuser-Busch Lot.

n6uScC-6uSCn LOIs
From all indications the proposed
city park on the ground north of the
union depot will have to be abandoned.
The Anheuser-Busch Brewing associa-
ton has profited by the time allowed
it by the law governing condemnation
proceedings, and has SO far advanced
the improvements on the property that
the assessed valuation, $4,000, is con-
sidered far beyond what the city is
able to pay for it.
The council met in caucus last even
ing and altho it's session was behind
closed doors, it is understood that the
conclusion arrived at was that the
city will guarantee $4,000 of the
amount necessary to purchase the
property in question, and if the citi-
ems of Ottumwa succeed in raising the
deficiency, the property will be pur-
chased Already $500 has been pied
ged by the citizens, thus leaving a
balance of $4,000 to be raised in this
manner.
Certain members of the coun-
Gil said this morning that
they did not anticipate that the
money would be raised, and thus far
no steps are being taken towards ac-
complishing that end. The people, or
at least several, have expressed the
opinion that $4,000 it too much for
the property, and there is much adj
verse criticism to the effort to raise
the deficiency on that basis.

cessful-Results of Voting.
The Catholic fair, which has been in
progress for over week at the Turner
hall, closed last Saturday evening, and
has proved to be one of the most prof
liable affairs Of the kind ever held in
the city. Saturday evening the hall
was literally packed with people. Sew
eral arti les We're awarded that even
ing, and much rivalry was displayed in
the contests. Dancing was a promi-
nent feature of the program and the
floor was continually flied with people
tripping the light fantastic" to the
music furnished by the Wapello Chief
orchestra.
The gold headed cane attracted
some attention, and after spirited
contest was awarded to A. c. Steck,
who received SO votes to Major Laceys

democratic friend wins out on some
thing.
Father OFarrell, pastor of st, Pat
rick's church is the owner of the silk
hat, as the votes proved him to be the
most popular pastor in the city. He
received 81 votes to Father Kelley's
10 and Father Floods s.
Two gold watches, which have been
the objects of much rivalry during the
entire fair, were also awarded Satur-
day evening. Miss Nellie Curry won
the watch offered for women, and the
mans timepiece went to Louis Schaub.

TRADE BOOM is AT HAND )
Dun's Review Predicts Revival After
the Election.

New York. Nov. 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
"The period of suspense is nearly
over. Business has been longing for
a free field in which to leap forward,
but restricted buying largely to wants
for immediate consumption. Some ev-
idence appears of willingness to take
speculative chances in the movement
of a fe wstandard goods, notably of
iron and steel.
1.-THE actual resumption of opera
lions in the anthracite coal fields has
added largely to the working force,
and the closing down of few small
steel plants is only in the nature of
concentrating operations at more adj
vantageous points and has not much
reduced the number of men employed.
The weather in some sections has IA
vored business, but at New York has
been unreasonable, accounting for
much of the loss of 1913 per cent in
bank clearings here as compared with
last year, tho the week shows a gain
of 2O.3 per cent over 1885,"
