to care for the interests of the rail-
road men and provide desirable homes
for them in this city.

lOl llGlu Ill JnlS CITY.
From Wednesdays Daily
Some troubles appear in the way of
the committee of citizens appointed
Saturday evening to investigate the re-
ports that there are very few houses
in this city to rent. The committee is
composed of j. w. Neasham F. w.
Simmons and l. N. Mast, and these
three men have already received mott
fication concerning several houses for
rent and for sale in Ottumwa. This
is not the trouble, but it is that the
amounts asked are too high.
Ottumwa people, it seems. according
to the members of the committee, want
to make too much money from their
investments, and it is the general inn
preston that these men must lower
their rents or Ottumwa will not get
any of the men at all.
The committee has not as yet done
much active work as it has not been
organized long enough. However
judging from what has already been
done it seems that there are enough
houses here to meet the demand, and
that there are more than enough if the
prices are not lowered. A Milwaukee
man expressed himself few days ago
as of the opinion that he can live at
Kansas City or Coburg and have his
longest lay-over in Ottumwa and still
live with smaller outlay of money
than would be necessary if he moved
his family to this city, owing to the
high rents demanded by owners of
property.
Want Rooms.
The committee is making arrange
ments to meet some of the Milwaukee
officials before doing much active
work. However, one thing has all
ready transpired which opens UP
field for the owners of residences and
other buildings as well. A number of
the men for whom Ottumwa is bid
ding are unmarried, and these desire
rooms, furnished and equipped with
modern conveniences, such as steam
heat, bath, etc. The committee re-
quests that people. having such rooms
for rent shall notify one of the men,
bers of the committee.

Use TT. Madison Tracks

The plan now is to use the old Fort
Madison tracks from Sugar Creek to
the old depot, and connection made
from there to Main street with the city
electric lines. This way it would only
take the erection of about a block of
road to connect the two. This idea is
born out from the fact that the old FIT.
Madison road has been torn up to
Sugar Creek between Batavia and that
point, and leaving this track as it was
has caused many to wonder why it
was done.

always necessary to wait so long, for
the announcement of his impending

round of invitations to dinners, sup
pers, dances and other society events
all in his honor. He says he is not

Larner led in all three over Dr. Bayne and
was chosen on the third ballot by a vote
Of 70, DR.. Bayne receiving 6S votes
When the result was announced DR.
Bayne, in a graceful speech, moved that
Mr.. Larner be made the unanimous choice,
and this motion was adopted.

veying the greetings Of the society to the

Revolution, now in session in this city, was
