COMMITTEE MEETING.
Manager Hamilton Calls One for To-
morrow.


morrow.
George Hamilton's reputation as a
successful manager is so we'll known
that he is already overrun with appli-
cauions by amusement enterprises who
desire to come to Ottumwa during
the week of the street fair, which is
to open in grand shape with Buffalo
Bills wild west show and perhaps a
speech by the redoubtable Col Cody,
himself, delivered the opening day.
Manager Hamilton has come to the
conclusion that Ottumwa needs a
street fair and believes that when the
people of this city see the way in
which he intends to start the matter
they too, will see that they sed it
| to advertise the town, help the mer-
chants (for it is to be managed in such
a way that twill help the merchahts)
and provide line of amusements that
will make it truly carnival week
Manager Hamilton suggests that a
committee of prominent Ottumwa
with him at ]. w. Gamers wholesale
house tomorrow afternoon at 3
o'clock for an exchange of ideas and to
get dow nto business, He suggests
and the Courier seconds the sugges-
ton, the name of Charles Hall, j
w. Garner, w. ]. Donelan, Frank
Clark, w. R. Daggett. Claude Myers
R. N. McElroy, ]. c. Manchester, and
indeed any others interested in the
town. Manager Hamilton will meet
these gentlemen, if they will kindly
consent to attend, tomorrow after
noon at 8 o'clock. He has taken the
names of these men because they have
always heretofore shown themselves
as progressive persons who put the
] welfare of the city first. Mr.. Hamilton
is aware that there are others who have
the same feeling and requests theil
presence also.

IT is NOT GOLD.
Mineral Found in South ottumwa Is
Pyrites Of Iron.

[From Wednesdays Daily.l
The South Ottumwa gold boom has
been knocked into a cooked hat by a
letter from Juergens & Anderson, of
Chicago, to R. S. Field, of this city,
in which the Chicago firm says. after
having made careful analysis of the
glittering mineral, that the supposed
gold dust is nothing more than pyrites
of iron.
Mr.. Field said today that it was not
often that this mineral is found in the
flakey form in which it exists in such
abundance in South Ottumwa. but
that it is generally in the shape Of
small cubes.
The result of the expert analysis
will not only dispel all illusions that
a new Eldorado had oeen discovered
within the very limits of this city, but
it will also afford those who have re-
NAMED skeptical an excellent oppor.
