Nick Reed, of EIdon, Buys the Wilson
Drug Store in the West End.
Nick F. Reed, of Eldon, who is prob
ably as well known in Ottumwa as he
is in his home town, has purchased the
drug store of J. g. Wilson, on West
Second street near Mclean, and taken
possession. Mr.. Reed is also owner of
a large and prosperous drug business
in Eldon, and will divide his time in
the future between Eldon and Ottum-
wa, managing both stores. Mr.. Reed
needs no introduction to Ottumwa peo-
pie nor recommendation from the
Courier. He is one of those live, pro.
gressiye young men who have gotten
on" in the world by hard work, push
and energy, and his coming to OF
tumwa makes one more strong addi-
ton to the list of Ottumwa's hustling
merchants.
Mr.. Wilson will take a rest for the
winter and expects to leave shortly
for Mexico and the south for an ex-
tended tour. Jim" as he is Familiarity
known, has been in business in OF
tumwa for many years and succeeded
in building up a profitable drug bust
ness mile from the business center
of town. The Courier hopes that Mr..
Wilson will come back to Ottumwa re-
cuperated and invigorated in health
and with no desire to permanently To-
cate elsewhere.

DELIVERY BOY HELD UP.

Waymen Saturday Evening.

waymen Saturday Evening.
From Mondays Daily.
George Shoemaker, q driver on one
of the delivery wagons of Stevens &
Phillips, grocers, on West Second
streets, was held up by two highway
men Saturday evening, a few minutes
before o'clock. The boy had Just
made delivery of groceries at the
home of w. s. Parker, on Sheffield
street, and was on his way to the store
When at a point between Clay and
Benton streets, on Sheffield, two men
stepped out of an alley, one coming
from either direction, and stopped the
horses. One of the men climbed into
the wagon, and ordered young Shoe
maker to hold up his hands. The boy
is only IA years old and was naturally
thoroly frightened. He promptly COM
piled with the demands of the high
waymen who preceded to search the
boy for money. The search was futile
as their victim did not have any mon
,ey with him, and because of that fact
the man in the wagon struck the boy
a severe blow in the face, and with an
oath sprang from the wagon. The
men took to their heels departing in
the directions from which they made
their approach. The men were strang-
ers to the Shoemaker boy, who says
that he had never seen them before.
He says both men were young and one
of them had a moustache and the 9TH
er wore no beard at all. Both men he
said were dressed very shabbily.

STORY BY TWO GIRLS
Formerly Lived in Ottumwa, But
Now Reside in Tacoma, Wash.
DEsCA. BE A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS.
Saw Two Rocks Which Greatly Re-
sembIe Grover and Mrs. Cleveland
Also Saw Image of an Enormous
Toad and Other Things.

Misses Bertha and Edna Stocker,
formerly of Ottumwa, but now of Ia
coma, Washington, write the Courier
concerning recent trip to the noun
tains, where they saw many things
untraveled lowans never beheld.
Among other things they describe a
river broken by succession of water
falls, but girl-like do not state for the
benefit of the nimrods whether the
stream is stocked with game fish or
none at all. They also saw two Pc
culiarly shaped rocks, which they say
bears marked resemblance to Grover
and Mrs. Cleveland. These and other
esting letter:
Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 15. 1900.
Ed. Courier:-Two Tacoma girls,
Misses Bertha and Edna Stocker, who
formerly resided in Ottumwa, have re-
turned from trip to the mountains
where their father is an engineer Of
the dynamo and concentration en-
gines. Our story of the trip might
interest our Ottumwa friends, and
here it is:
after we passed thru Snohomish
we came to the Stillaquamish river,
which is one of the most beautiful
streams in Washington. About every
fifty feet the bed of the river is broken
by falls and in some places it is sue
cession of cascades that extends as
far as the eye can see, with huge boul-
ders projecting above the surface OF
the water and lining the banks. At
one place in the stream we could step
across it. but just below, the water
spreads and forms wide stream.
when we journeyed on to Monte
Christie, we saw snow capped noun
tains all around with but one outlet
and that is by rail.
There is one mountain which will
permit climbing, from which Mt. Raj
nier and Mt. Baker may be seen. Still
a third mountain is named Mt. Toad.
One may see the image of toad sit
ting on large rock, and to our eyes it
was just as plain as anything we ever
saw. On another mountain, covered
with rocks, two large ones stand out
boldly. One of them looks like moth
ing so much as Grover Cleveland,
wearing a big overcoat with the collar
turned up, arms folded and barehead-
ed. Not far away, to all appearances,
stands second huge rock, which has
been Iikened unto Mr.. Cleveland's
wife. "She" has the appearance OF
wearing shoulder cape and long,
full skirt. Her head is turned so that
one can see but the back of her head
and the right side Of her face. 1t is
impossible to climb up where these
images are, but people have made
guesses as to their size. Some claim
that Mr.. Cleveland is fifty feet in
heighth and Mrs. Cleveland seventy.

Appropriately Observed at First M. e.
Church.
From Mondays Daily.
"Old Peoples Day" was observed
yesterday at the First Methodist Epis-
copal church. The room itself was
beautifully decorated with flowers and
autumn foliage, and the pulpit was lit
orally enveloped in bloom.
The attendance, especially of the
older people, was very large. Old
fashioned hymns were rendered, and
every part of the service was appro-
pirate. DR.. Il, p. Brush, pastor of the
church, delivered the sermon, on the
cubject, "a Gladly Old Age and It's
Grown of Glory"
The sermon was a beautiful tribute
to the older people. DR.. Brush brought
out the fact that Christian life brings
a glorious old age, and likened the life
and work of an aged Christian to the
crocus which blooms only when it's
foliage is gone. He made a strong ex-
hortation to all younger people to lead
Christian lives that they may reap the
pleasures of a devout happiness in the
sunset of life.

five. However they are about half
mile apart on very high mountain
just back of Monte Christie.
ours was a pleasure trip. Aside
from visiting two beautiful falls, we
climbed one of the mountains to the
glaciers where we skated and threw
snowballs. Think of that for last
Thursday noon. We took the day for
the trip and ate dinner at THE Pride
of the Mountains" one of the mining
camps where gold, silver and iron is
extracted from the ore taken from the
mines. We knew the superintendent
and his assistant and they invited US
next day to take dinner on the noun
tain, which we did. A fine meal was
in waiting when we arrived which,
with the pure water which flows from
the mountain top, made it an enjoy
able repast.
"The air is so rare and pure that we
felt but little tired after hard climb
of three hours. While we were on the
snow line we held our jackets on our
arms and were quite comfortable with
out them.
Very few trees on the mountain
sides, turn brown in the fall, most OF
the timber being hardwood, the leaves
of which stay green the year around.
"The ore from the mines is brought
down to the crushers in buckets Sc
curely fastened to cable which, in
some places, is 200 feet above the
ground. Three buckets make car
load.
"The ore is run thru the crusher
and into cars about 6 feet in length, 3
feet in width and 21h feet in depth.
Then it is taken to the concentration
where it is again crushed and sifted
out in eleven different sized pebbles
After it has been washed, the crushed
ore is loaded in box cars for shipment
to the smelter, each car being valued
at about $1,000.
ut is very interesting to make a
tour of the building containing the
concentrators and observe the many
ways of saving the precious metals.
1t is hard work, too; and then the
snowfall is so heavy the men are COM
PEELED to stay there for great length
of time. Five and six feet Of snow is
very common and it is said it has
fallen until it covered the ground to a
depth of 80 feet, thus compelling the
people to tunnel thru the snow in Or
der to pass from one house to another.
However, the snow does not last very
long in the canyons and melts very
fast.
Monte Christie has beautiful seem
cry. 1t is small place as yet, but
when prospectors are better satisfied
as to the value of the ore, it is expect
ed that the place will BOOM"
