By measuring the time required for it
to pass over short measured space. As
near TO the gun as practicable is one
screen. and a known distance away is sn-
other. Both are electrically connected
with an apparatus that records to the
smallest fraction Of second the moment
when the electric connection is cut. As
the ball cuts both connections, the time
il takes in traversing the distance is
shown. Usually the time measurement is
taken by noting how far a weight, released
by cutting the first screen drops before
the second screen is struck. ?. Many men
have announced formulas for it, and those
that proved practicable are not few. 8.
One has been advanced recently, but it
has not had thorough official tests.

PRESENTED With GOLD WATCH
MI. Turner of the Missouri Pacific
Meets with Surprise.

Last Saturday night Mr.. A. L. Turner,
master mechanic at the Missouri Pacific
round house in this city, was presented
with an elegant gold watch. Mr.. Turner
has been at the Missouri Pacific yards
for ten years and now goes TO take a
position at Kansas City. During these
years Mr. Turner has proven himself al
most indispensable in his position. and
while the men regret TO give him up. yet
they are glad that he has got position
more worthy of his ability.
The engineers, hremen and all OF the
men connected with the road who were
in the city conceived the idea that as an
emblem of their appreciation Of his good
fellowship and also as a remembrance
OF their feeling toward him. they would
present him with gold watch. All of
the men gathered in the freight house
and put out the lights. and sent a mess
age to Mr. Turner to come up TO the o.
fee Immediately. He, not thinking much
Of this. since he had got such messages
so many times before. came up. rs soon
as he came in the lights were turned on
disclosing a room fun Of men. This
rather surprised Mr.. Turner. but he was
a little more surprised when Mr.. A A
Reside, advancing toward him, said in
solen and almost angry tones: "Mr. Tur-
ner. you have wronged these men. You
have taken certain engines away from
their engineers and given them TO others.
An engine is sacred to its engineer. and
Won know II. You have changed mems
runs. You have done innumeraole wrongs
70 these. your loyal brothers. but We
herewith forget all this and TO express
our gratitude and compliments 70 you
We present 10 you this watch"
Mr.. Turner was much surprised, and in
4 few simple words expressed his a2preci-
alton OF the compliment

BOTH NOW READY
Davis and Burton Each Eager
for Debate.
WEBSTER MAY GET MAD
And Insist That He be Taken
TO the Auditorium.

Yesterday Webster Davis was heard
from, and he Is keen for debate with
J. R. Burton at the Auditorium in WITCH
tia this evening. Burton has been eager
for it ever since the idea was sprung
and will reach town today prepared &c
have it out. The state Republican com
mittee is urging it. The Democratic state
! committee has awakened and wants it
Charles Davidson, chairman Of the coun.
ty central committee. is trying his best
to bring it about.
But the local Democratic management
for some reason, don't want TO consent
TO a joint debate, insisting that Davis
won't have time enough.
About what will happen this evening is
this: Davis will come in on the Rock
Island train from the north; he will sniff
the air and be strung up for a joint de-
bate; his mind will be crammed with
supposed posers for Burton.
And then when some local Democrat
tells him that they have decided not to
have a debate, there will be a scene.
The chances are that Davis viii turn
to his committee on reception and say
in loud voice: Why won't there be a
joint debate?''
And then when some one tells him that
Burton was willing and the state COM
mittees were, and that the hall is ready.
and the time sufficient for two and a half
hours joint debate, the chances are that
Webster Davis viii grab UP his valise and
say: Take me TO the Auditorium. 1 am
not going TO be put in ridiculous light,
Take me 10 the place where Burton is.
I'll arrange the time with him.
If Davis does this, there will be joint
debate Burton expects it. The state
committees expect it. 1t is the talk of
the state. There is no valid argument
against it. And last night Chairman
Charles Davidson authorized this an
nouncement:
1--WE are still ready to arrange the joint
debate. All day tomorrow we will be
ready. We want the joint debate. We
will agree to everything in reason. We
will let Davis speak last 1t will only
take few minutes TO arrange the time
Both men are finished orators, perfectly
believe joint debate is expected Of them.
Let the local Democratic committee say
the word and we will have a political
meeting that will be memorable. II Mr..
Davis wants ii and Burton wants it. I
cannot see why tomorrow night we can't
have a big event pulled off at the Audi
forum. I hope the Democratic commit
tee will see its way clear to let Davis
come to the Auditorium and let US con-
summate an event the whole state is al
ready talking about
Mr.. Burton when he arrives will prob
ably also lend a hand in trying to bring
the debate off. He may visit Mr.. Davis
and urge him.
The crowd at the Auditorium tonight
will be a stenl-winder. If Davis doesn't
come TO the stage Burton will make a
speech anyway, and 1t will be fine Bur
ton is making a wonderful speech this
year. full of facts. facts that an auditor
carries away with him and thinks about,
statements which have meat in them.

No Coal in Poweshiek.

80. @. Harding, of Keswick, is
drilling a deep we'll for Reuben E..
Saunders on his newly acquired pos
sessions between here and Forest
Home" says the Montezuma Repub-
lican. she is down over 200 feet and
80 of this distance has been through
solid rock. He says he has found no
coal and no indications of any. He
has drilled number of wells in this
section and has never found even a
trace of coal except on the old Bogard
place near Forest Home and this was
only trace. He thinks that the near
er one approaches the coal belt in the
vicinity of the Evans mines the more
prominent this will crop out but he
doubts very much whether there is
any coal any nearer US than the pres
ent mines in Mahaska county. In
other words he doubts very much
whether there is any coalin Poweshiek
county, Notwithstanding the fact that
in all of the geological maps furnished
by the early Iowa biologists this sec
ton is rated as beinglunderlaid with
black diamonds"

Taft Commission House Discon-

The @. Q. Taft company, flor the
past few years having a branch OF
their Des Moines and Ottumwa bust
ness in this city has decided to dis
continue the business here and take
it to Des Moines.
The house in this city has not
enough territory in which to operate
with profit to the firm and for that
reason will be discontinued. e The
house will make the same territory
that is now made from this city from
Des Moines and Ottumwa.
Mr.. Frank Ludlow who has been in
this city as the manager of the local
business will go to Des Moines and
be in the Office of the company in
that city. We are sorry that the
company sees fit to remove the bust
ness from this city. 1t is likely that
the business will be taken up in the
near future.by other parties.

Evangelistic Meetings.

Yesterday was great day at the
Presbyterian church. There were
great audiences, great sermons and
great interest. DR.. Bulgin has been
accorded splendid hearing in Os-
kaloosa and it is noticeable that many
who are not church people and are
not habitually seen in religious SER
vices are coming out to hear the Cali
fornian evangelist and speak in high
est terms of his discourses. One said {:
"He makes me mad and then he makes
me cry" Electromagnetic challenged
unbelief as unreasonable and with
making impossible demands yester-
day morning. 1t was masterpiece
of logic and the conclusions were ir-
resistable. There was not a little
curiosity at the mer' g meeting in the
afternoon to see how he would main
tain his proposition that, eff man
has good character it is all God asks. "
He argued that Gods law is the
standard or measure of good moral
character and if man lives up to
that it is all God requires. The man
who does not live up to the!standard
needs the redeeming work of Jesus
Christ. At the local union meeting
and evening service the church was
full to the doors and several expressed
determination to lead a Christian
life. The lecture tonight is especial
ly for business men, but everybody
is invited to come.
