Muscatine, Dec. 21-The p. NJ. Mussei

Gated last evening. This gift to the city
on the part of the wealthy and philan-

rejoicing since the project was first
mentioned, and now that the beautiful
building stands complete it is found 10

The dedication exercises last evening
were in the Methodist church, across the
street from the building. After the pro-
gram reception was given in the IL

take part in the exercises.
Among the speakers were johnson

Johnson Brigham. state librarian,
made some statements in his address
very suggestive for thought. Among
them was one with the idea that the
future home library is to be composed
of but few volumes of the solid litera-
ture accumulated in the past. a diction-
airy, an encyclopedia, a set of ones ia
vorite magazine and books given by
friends. The public library Will become
more and more the center of the intel
lectual life of the community, and there

WATER PIPES TAINTED.
Fort Dodge Water Consumers Having

Fort Dodge Water Consumers Having
Disagreeable Experience.
Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Dec. 21.-For the first
time in the history of the city the water
mains have become inoculated with
some foreign substance which is caus-
ing much distress to water consumers
and has rendered the water almost unfit
fer drinking purposes The taste is very
much like tar and of brackish nature
Superintendent Pray, of the water
works department., has spent two days
in trying to locate the trouble, but has
so far failed. 1t is thought to be due
to tarred oakum which was used this
summer in the laying of new main to
s. portion of the city known as Round
Prairie" Tarred oakum was used in the
joints instead of the plain oakum and
the water in the new mains was given
Il chance to come back into the other
mains recently when the pressure was
released for some purpose. The water
from the new main has now penetrated
almost every main in the city and the
proposition that now confronts the city
IS how will it be got rid Of.

Willard, who fell in with the thought.
and at the request Of the senator wired
Baker asking If he would accept the
place. Later Mercer was told of what
was contemplated and he, seeing good
politics in the SCHEME, to get rid of one
who might prove most formidable OPP
ponent for congress, heartily Joined Mil

Fourth of July and on the 18th Of Au-
gust last. Forty witnesses We're sub
poened, twenty-five for the defense

cution Frank Madden was discharged

Dyersville, Dec. al-Particulars have
just been received of the death by freez-
ing of young man named James
Plein, of Barkston, Delaware county,
several days since. The young man left
the farm house in the morning and went
out to the field to catch horse that he
wanted to use in hauling cornstalks to
distant part of the farm. Not return
ing to the house during the afternoon or
evening the family became uneasy and
instituted a searching party about 10
O'clock at night. All the farm houses
were visited. but no trace of the missing
man could be found. At 6 o'clock the
next morning. while one of the searchers
was returning home across the field. he
found the young mans body frozen stiff
in the field. A short distance from where
the body was found the snow was beat
en- down, where it is presumed Plein had
moved around, after being kicked by the
horse. The snow WAS covered with
blood stains and a trail of blood was LETT
where the injured man passed in his ef-
fort to reach the farm house. He sue
ceeded in walking some distance, but 1t
is presumed that he fell over stump
that was in his path and fell to the
ground, exhausted from the loss OF
blood. 1t is presumed that he renamed
after falling over the stump
and then froze to death.

which does not call for the purchase of
the plants which are to comprise the
combination outright, but rather an ex-

dropped very low. If the consolidation
is effected the business of the mills in
Fort Dodge will be conducted from one
office instead of four.

thought it best to keep the matter Sc
cret from the general public until the
work was completed. The result would
speak for itself and justly them in what
had been done. Fatal mistake. The tax
dodgers and their friends with their
hired assistants smarting with indigna-
ton and burning for revenge discovered
that the proceedings of the board rela
tive to the ferret contract had not been
published. All, here was their chance
to get back at them. How Well the tax
dodgers took advantage of this techni-
cal wrong and its results are fully
known by the result of a suit in court
and the decision of Judge Kenyon as
reported at the time in the T.-R.
The board, aware that they had made
mistake in trying to keep secret the
ferret contract, and fully aware that
certain papers in the county as we'll as
a large number of citizens We're raising
the cry of fraud, Doodle, ring, etc.
passed resolution to employ expert ac-
countants to so thru the records of the
county and make a full report CT the
condition OF affairs. Ii now appears
that the code makes no provision for
paying the expenses of such investiga-
ton and a large number are scoring
the board for going to the expense of
such an examination when no one be-
lieyes there is anything wrong or
crooked in the management of the va
rious offices OF the county. In justice to
the board ii can be said that no con-
tract with expert accountants has been
entered into and none will be. The
condition of the board is most la
mentable one. The malignant efforts
of a few coupled with the mfsunder-
standing of the many have brought on
a condition which is detriment to the
county and disgrace and threatened
disruption of the republican party and
reflection in the intelligence of our
citizens.

hospital, suffering with the smallpox.
Mr. Fiddler had been visiting at Mar

home but an hour when physician
pronounced Mr.. Fiddler i'll with small
pox. Immediate steps We're taken to
prevent exposure and the residence
where Mr.. Fiddler boarded was
promptly qlarantined and the patient
taken to the hospital. Owing to the
case having developed outside of the
city and there having been little chance
to expose others here no uneasiness is
felt regarding the further spread OF the
disease AS a further precaution the
board OF health has ordered Mr.. Fid-
dler's place of business thoroughly
fumigated III order that any germs that
might possibly Turk there will be killed
This case, like the others that preceded
