OTTUMWA SHOOT.
Southeastern Iowa Gun League
Will be Organized.

Announcements have been receiv-
ed in the city for the Tenth Annual
Tournament of the Ottumwa Gun
Club, to be held at the South Side
Athletic Park April % and 26.
Twelve events have been placed
upon the program ofboth days.
In connection with the tournament
there has been a call issued for a
meeting of all the gun clubs of south-
eastern Iowa for April 25 for the pur-
pose of organizing a league, to be
known as the Southeastern Iowa
Shotgun League.
This call is made at the urgent re-
quest and solicitation of many of the
clubs of this district and is intended
to be made in the name of the clubs
desiring to thus organize.
The object of the organization will
be to advance the gentlemanly sport
OF trap shooting, promote a more
fraternal feeling among the gun
clubs of southeastern Iowa, provide
for league tournaments to be held an
nually or semi-annually, protect the
amateur shooter, enforce a more
strict observance of our protective
game law, obtain supplies cheaper,
and, in general, to make such pro-
visions for the benefit of the league
as the members may see fit.
The advantages of such an organi-
cation are manifest. Tournaments
will be held under the rules, regula-
tons and authority of the league at
such times and places as the league
may determine. This will insure a
successful and satisfactory shoot in
every way.
The manner of organizing, the
rules, bylaws, regulations, officers
and their election, and all the other
matters of organization, will be de-
termined by the clubs represented
at this meeting.
Each club shall send as many del
egates as possible and the ratio of
representation will be arranged at
the meeting in such a way as to be
satisfactory to all.

Out In Kansas.

Belleville, Kan, March %.
Dear old HerGld:-I left Carson,
Iowa, March 5, for trip through
Nebraska and Kansas. 1 arrived at
Belleville on the 5th. This is the
county seat of Republic county and is
very nice city of 1000 inhabitants.
The country from Lincoln to Belle
vile is as fine as one ever looked up
on. Very level with rich soil, but not
so sure of crop as Iowa. Here | met
several old Mahaskans among them
Lewis Beck who has a fine farm of
$50 acres; James Cunningham, who
is rnnning a 10 cents feed yard and
diary, fine business. Mr.. Cunning
ham contemplates moving to Oska-
loosa in the near future. Here l al.
so met w. G.. King, of Scandal, he is
an attorney at law and doing well,
From here l went to CORTLAND to see
my old friends Nicholas Marty and
Taylor Glasgow both of Mahaska
county. Mr.. Marty has 100 acres of
land and is doing well. Mr.. Glasgow
has 1901 acres of as fine land as one
wishes to see. Republic county is
fine country, but not so sure of crops
as Washington county. Mr.. Glasgow
is in the fine hog business and is do
ing well. Mr.. Glasgow and Mr.. Marty
took me out to kill Jack rabbits and
we drove through the stock fields in
spring wagon. l killed ten and
never got out of the wagon. 1t was
one of the finest hunts ever had.
From CORTLAND went to Concordia
where / met more Mahaska folks,
Joseph Foster, Port McCulley, Geo.
Dandy and Andrew Stoltzer. Mr..
Stoltzer owns 800 acres of land of the
best quality and has large residence,
barns and out buildings and is get
ting rich. All the above folks are
doing well. l was caught in snow
storm which blockaded the railroad
and was one and ahalf days getting
"a miles. At Morrowsville I met my
cousins Asbury Gaskill and sister
Martha Neuter. They left Mahaska
county in 1854 and we had not met
since. They seem satisfied with Kan
sas. i will start for Iowa March 26,
and will stop at Carson, Iowa. ex-
pect to be in Oskaloosa sometime in

forts. Money has been raised for this
work by furnishing banquets and sup
pers for,the different classes of the
college, commencement dinners, and
by socials given to the members and
friends of the institution. In this
way we have been able to help furn-
ish the association rooms of the col
lege by adding chairs, curtains and
raised and set aside for the compile
ton or furnishing of room for the
College Y. M. G. A. building, when
ever that may be. This latter object
was primarily our main purpose but
we have endeavored to help the as
sociations from time to time as the
case demanded. Any lady is entitled
to membership by signing the con-
stitution and paying small yearly
fee. The members find the auxiliary
has been a source of much social en-
joyment to themselves, as well as
financial profit to the college. From
time to time they have met socially
with the students, and feel that their
relationship with them has been of
mutual benefit and interest, and have
a strong hope, also, and intention
that this effort of mutual aid may be,
more perfectly carried out in the
future.
r. Il. o.
On Monday evening April /, the
P. E. o. will entertain their friends
at an open meeting at the home of
Mrs. Will Kalbach. This entertain-
ment coming on April FOOLS day,
will be looked for as humorous one.
For there is a humorous as we'll as
serious element in the P. E. o. life
and it is ever bubbling to the sur
face. Their work as a whole, is so
earnest and so prolific in results, that
many people are apt to think it all
scaling of the Alps of literature phil
anthropy and reform; but once inside
the charmed circle and one finds
new and refreshing mixture CT human
nature.

MAY BUY HARRIS-EMERY.
RumOred That FrankeIs VIII Buy and
Not Build

The Des Moines correspondent of
the Marshalltown Times-Republican
says: "There is much probability that
the burned Frankel department store
will not be rebuilt, at least by the
present firm for the purpose for which
it was used; for deal has been pend
ing ever since the big fire for the con-
soidation of the Frankel interests
with the Harris Emery interests. If
the Frankels can purchase the inter-
est of Captain Emery in the Harris
Emery firm, which is a controlling
interest, the Frankel building will not
be rebuilt as department store. Ul-
timately the Frankels will own the
Harris-Emery business. The deal has
been stoutly denied but is still pend
ing and may be closed any day. In
case 1t is closed the plans for cover
ing the ground occupied by the,
Frankel store will be changed.

WOMAN'S COLUMN.

Minnesota Club women were the
originators of the idea of establish
ing Rest Rooms in towns which are
the centres of trade with outlying
districts. These rooms are for the
benefit of country women while in
town, and are in charge of commit
tees of town women who can thus
promote social intercourse between
the women of country and town, and
the work has been quite successful.
Southern club women have also be-
gun to look after the interests of the
women who live outside of the towns
and institutions of this kind have
been established in Georgia, where
they are as much needed as in the
west. Minnesota club women went
still further and at their last state
fair the federation was hostess for a
week to theiwomen of the state. Be-
sides furnishing places for rest and
refreshment, the federation took
this opportunity to exhibit different
lines of their work, furnishing typ
ical programs, thus reaching class
of people outside the club member
ship. The women of that state are
also greatly interested in the protec-
ton of their pine forests and it was
at their instigation that a plan of a
national park in that district was
seriously considered. They have also
taken steps to have the matter
brought before their state legislature
and also before the proper authori-
ties at Washington, with very en-
couraging results. This, of course,
is a matter of interest to all club
women, especially of the western
states.
The new Methodist hospital at Des
Moines has established the first ward
for children that has been establish
ed in the whole state of Iowa. Will
not some society in this city start a
fund at.once for children IS ward in
our new hospital? The organization
that does this will be the one to re-
ceive more money than any other
for whose heart will not go out at
once to sick children and whose
hands will not drop money for this
purpose?

Industrial School

At the last session there were GA
scholars present, IL regular teachers
and officers and two supply teachers.
There were seven garments finished
and taken home. The scholars are
piecing quilt blocks to be made into
quilts and sent to the Des Moines
Orphans Home.
This is a two-fold work-they learn
to sew and also to give to others less
fortunate than themselves.
The appropriation for the indus
trial school was defeated at the an
nual school election, and the ques-
ton arises, where will the money
come from to run the school next
year. The women of this state may
vote on all questions of appropria-
lions at school elections, and women
of this city were sadly negligent
when they allowed other duties to
interfere with this privilege.
II the school has to close for the
next year, will women have learned
a lesson?
