WILL START DRUG HOUSE.
Former Ottumwa Men to Open Jobbine

TFrom Wednesdays Daily.1

\EFOm wednesday Dally.l
The following concerning proposed
business venture of w. G. Jordan anu
Julian Harlan, of Des Moines, former
ly residents of Ottumwa, appeared in
the Des Moines Leader this morning:
s'W. G. Jordan and Julian Harlan,
who are at the head of the movement
for the organization of company to
esta blish in Des Moines a second whole
sale drur house, are meeting with SUCH
encouragement in placing stock that
they feel practically assured of success.
They have already received subscrip-
tions for practically all the stock they
care to place with investors and are
now seeking to interest a number of
retail druggists.
ssMessrs. Jordan and Harlan will at
tend meeting of the local branch OF
the state association of retail drug
gists this evening, at which they will
make statement of their plans and
hope to complete the work of placing
stock with retailers.
"Messrs. Jordan and Harlan expect
to control a majority of the stock
and to give their personal attention
to the business. Mr., Jordan was for
some time manager OF the business of
the Des Moines Drug company, and
only recently; disposed of his interests
to the Spencers of e0skaloosa. Mr..
Harlan has been credit man for the
Des Moines Drug company for several
| years and recently resigned his place
| to take up the work of organizing the
new company.

FROM W. M. REECE.
He Strongly Fayors the Acceptance of
MIR. Carnegie's Donation.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 81, 19(

Washington, D. c., Jan. 81, 1900.
Dear Courier: / desire as citizen
and taxpayer of Ottumwa to express
my views in regard to the recent prop
osition Of Andrew Carnegie to build a
$4,000 library in that city.
There is not only wisdom but justice
in some such requirement on the part
of the city as Mr.. Carnegie stipulates
as a condition upon which he will give
the $4,000. But we are confronted
with subdivision of section 1905,
Revised Statutes of Iowa, which limits
the tax levy 10 mill on the dollar and
that being the limit for library pur-
poses we could only raise about $4,000
per annum. That would cost the av-
erage householder in Ottumwa soc a
year for free public library.
| am in favor of going to the limit of
the law in accepting the donation. IT
the city council of Ottumwa refuses
to do all they legally can to secure
that library do not publish the fact
in the newspapers of Ottumwa ] beg
you for / am too proud of that thriv-
ing city to let the world know that we
neither have park nor public library
And to add the stigma that our city
council had defeated the only chance
we will likely ever have to get free
public library would be too damaging
for publication.
Yours truly, VIM. NJ. Reece.

The following from the Crawford
County Herald, of Charter Oak, tells
of the marriage of Miss Marie Ate
berry, of this city, daughter of DR.. and
Mrs. N. w. Attebery to Mr.. Edward
Goodfrend of Charter Oak: ed
ward Goodfrend and Miss Marie Atte-
berry We're married in the parlors Of
Hotel Hinrichsen last Friday evening,
Justice p. d. Mcmahon officiating.
The bride is the handsome and accom-
plished DAUGHTER of DR.. and Mrs. N. w.
Attebery, of Ottumwa, Iowa, and will
no doubt prove a valuable acquisition
to the young society of Charter Oak.
DR.. Attebery is president of the OF
tumwa Institute of Osteopathy The
groom is the resident manager of the
Goodfrend Dry Goods company, and
has been making Charter Oak his home
for more than year, during which
time he has made host of friends who
wish him happy and prosperous fu-
ture. He is a young man of unusual
business ability and is sure to make a
success. The ceremony was perform
ed in the presence of only few of
the most intimate friends, after which
several young people were invited in
and enjoyed delightful evening in
social entertainment. At 10 o'clock a
delicious supper was served to which
all did ample justice. Shortly before
IL the guests departed for their homes
with many well wishes for the young
couples future happiness"

MAY GO TO CHICAGO.
A Probability for Ottumyya Y. M. c. A
Athletic Team.

From the present indications it is
now more than probable that Ottum-
was \. M. G. A. athletic team which
defeated the association team from
Burlington in the first round of the
contest of the Central Section Athletic
League of the Y. NJ. C. A., Of North
America, in this city last Saturday ev-
ening, will have an opportunity of go
ing to Chicago to contest with local
team of that city in the semi-fnal
event. Secretary B. C. Wade and Ply
steal Director Hugh Jameson, of the
local association, have been in
formed of the manner in
which the teams in the sec
ond round will be paired, and they be-
lieve that Ottumwa will be matched
with one of the Chicago teams in the
semi-fnal event, no matter how the
second round terminates. According
to the pairing for the second round,
Ottumwa is made bye. That means
that she, will not be in the contest
which will occur sometime before Feb.
IL. Springfield, ILL.,, and Youngstown,
o., are paired for this event; Chicago
central and Chicago west side comprise
another competing pair, and the other
contest will be between Terre Haute,
Ind, and Decatur, Ill. The location of
the \competing teams as they are now
paired will, it is believed, certainly
throw Ottumwa with one of the Chica-
go teams in the semi-fnal contest
which follows the second round next
month. 1t is believed that Terra
Haute will defeat the Decatur team,
owing to the standing of the former in
the athletic world. This would practi-
cally insure the pairing of the Indiana
team with the winner in the Spring
| field, Ill.,, and Youngstown, o., event,
leaving Ottumwa to be paired with the
winning Chicago team.
The final scores in the several con-
tests of the first round have been re-
ceived by the local association. One
remarkable feature of the general re-
suit is that there is only 8 points diff
ference between the highest and low
est total.

COCK FIGHTING IN orrumwA.
Several Bouts Said to Have Taken
Place In the City Recently.
From Monday's Daily

Place in the City Recently.
From Mondays Daily.
Within the past two or three weeks
there has been number of cock
fights in this city. The last one took
place Thursday in certain barber
shop on Main street for the edification
of number of sports. AT a fight
some few weeks ago, local sports
bird was killed in the first round. 1t
is said that the owner of the bird
Thought he had world beater and had
been carefully attending to its condi-
ton for long time, even going so far
as to confne it in the third story of a
certain building near the business part
of town, where he provided number
of tin buckets and tin cans for the
cock to dig its spurs into. 1t is said
that the bird was confined in the third
story because the tin cans and buckets
made so much racket when the bird
hoped onto them in its efforts to fight
something. The bird was in prime
condition but the other fellows fowl
was better and killed the bird that had
been taught to fight the buckets, etc.
at the third dig of it's claws. The
second bout, it is said, was a more
gamy affair and afforded opportunity
for the sports to wager their money
during the contest.

5. 5. BYRUM in Town.
Gentleman ON whose Arm Skin Graft.
ing Operation Was Performed.
From WedneSf1av,s Daily

S. S. Byrum, of Sigourney, on whose
arm number of physicians of Ottun-
wa successfully grated several pieces
of cuticle from the arms of twenty
two young men of this city, mostly
members of the Elks, last spring, is in
town today consulting DR.. A. o. Will
Jams, who conducted the skin grating
operation. Mr.. Byrum's arm had heal
ed nicely and was getting along fully
as well as his physician anticipated,
until a few weeks ago during the ex-
IRENE cold weather he frosted the ten
der portion of the arm, and has since
been having some trouble with it. Mr..
Byrum, it will be remembered was
injured by the cars in the Burlington
yards in this city last June. He was
taken to the Ottumwa hospital, and
after several weeks the physicians de-
cided that it would be necessary to
amputate the left arm above The ell
bow unless the skin grating operation
was resorted to. The gentlemen above
referred to came forward and from the
arm of each a small piece OF cuticle
was removed and grated on the arm
of Mr.. Byrum. It was an operation,
which, at the time, received state wide
comment, and proved very successful.
Mr.. Byrum's hand and forearm are
very badly deformed as it is, hut he is
very thankful to the physicians of OF
tumwa, and the members OF Ottumwa
lodge B. p. O. p. that he is permitted
to use as much of the shattered mem
Der as he is. To look at the hand
one would not suppose that in its pres
ent condition it would be much of a
benefit to the owner, but the stiffened
fingers are much better than none at
all, and Mr.. Byrum says that he is
continually working them with the
hope that some day they will respond
more literally to his will than they DO
at present.
