His name was NJ L. Tobin, and he
halls from Moulton. He is horse
dealer and liyeryman in that hustling
little town. He came to town yeSter-
day with an exaggerated idea of his
fighting abilities. After visiting sew
eral saloons he wound up at the Mil
waukee depot and went to sleep in a
seat Officer Black found him about
4 o'clock this morning and told him
to move on. He absolutely refused.
and began trying TO make Black feel
like Terry McGovern did after
Young" Corbett had gotten through
with him Thanksgiving day. The on
ly difference in the matter was that
it lasted but one round. and Tobin did
the McGovern stunt" Black used
his club with an abandon that made
Tobn sick at heart After he had
been battered into submission he was
taken to Jail and Dr.. Williams was
called and dressed his wounds He
only had 81 and the amiable physi-
clan took that to pay for his trouble.
This morning when Tobin was taken
into court he was still defiant and
whispered several threats as to what
he was going to DO to the man thai hit
him last night. Judge Moon booked
him for intoXication and fined him $40.
AS he did not appear to have any
available assets on his person, he was
turned over to Chris Myers and will
pound stone fer two days.

Two members of the South Side

ed vacation as q result of battle
which was pulled off between them in
the station late Saturday night Frank
Picker and William Decker are the
victims. From all appearances Deck
er was the winner III the battle of fis-

CARDS the positions of the men will be.
will not be known until the city council
acts on the matter. The tiremen say,
Picker, who had been off duty that
day, came to the station in the even
ing, in an intoxicated condition. About
10 o'clock he and Decker had some
words, which it is alleged led to a
fight, and as Il result Picller was
quite badly injured. Dr.. Box was call
ed and dressed his wounds after which
he went to his home. AS soon as
the matter was reported to Chief
Schmidt, he suspended both men in
definitely, and they can now bring
their case to the attention of the coun-
Gil if they desire to return to work.

A Good Location.

South Ottumwa is now a promising
location for bank With the growing
business in that portion of the city a
bank is almost absolutely necessary,
and the savings feature is an added adj
vantage, owing to the existence of the
Dain factory and other factories. the
employees in which will no doubt be
depositors when bank is located so
near to their homes whereas they are
not depositors in the banks on the
North Side because of the difference in
location. A savings bank encourages
the laboring classes to lay by their
money a small amount at q time. and
as the South Side is populated largely
by people who work by the day, saw
ings bank will no doubt prove a sue
cess there.
1t is MI. Cooper's plan to interest a
few citizens of Ottumwa in the enter
prise and sell some of the stock to
them, but to retain the controlling in
terest himself. There seems to be no
reason why the venture should not
prove a success and the news will be
gladly welcomed by South Ottumwa
residents.

The decision of the lower court is
affirmed. Justice Brown explicitly
said the opinion is not to be construed
as a justification of the export duties.
Justice White concurred in the result
but delivered an Independent decision.
Justices Dissent.
The chief justices, Justices Harlan,
Brewer and Peckham united in dis
senting opinion They held that the
duty imposed was export in character
and the fact that it was levied for the

its character. In his opinion, In the

FINE LYCEUM ENTERTAINMENT
sIayton Jubilee Singers Close the
Seasons Course

sIaytOn Jubilee Singers Close the
seasons Course.
Last evening at the Toler one Of the
largest audiences of the seasons Lyceum
course was present to be entertained by
the last attraction Of this year. and they
were most thoroughly repaid. 1t is a
nackneyed newspaper phrase TO refer to
a crowded house greeting any troupe,
and that enthusiastic applause resound-
ed. % but.it is no supererogation or mawk-
ish fIIlsome fattery to say that it certain
" was such an audience last night as
was completely in warmth of sympathy
with Their entertainment and We're not
slow to display their appreciation. After
q week OF excitement, when every one
was worn in mind and body; after a day
of trying weather and the promise of a
cold night, it is not less than significant
that this representative audience should
testify to the Lyceum management their
satisfaction with She season well selected
course ana the EFFORTS so bountifully
made to pie ase.
The attraction last eve was the cele-
brated Slayt3n Jubilee Singers, under the
management Of the Slayton Lyceum Blu
reau, and they are httngly considered
the leading colored concert company Of
America" The finely chosen program of
last eve was rendered in eac.. instance
with a dash and finish that proved the
whole nine members Of the company not
only are cultivated musicians of a high
order, but more than that, they take a
real genuine pleasure in entertaining and
pleasing their audience. The songs which
they so sweetly and energetcauy sang
were not at all of the ordinary minstrel
type. but rather the old-time jubilee
shouts, the rollicking campmeeting
choruses, and the softly rhythmic planta-
ton melodies, so dear to hearts which
have been attuned to the rich fun sentI-
ments of a section of our republic once
living under regime and civilization, at
Once unique and AL its own. The memor-
