The resort season Is over. All the
lakeside hotels are closed, and tn,
crowds have gone home to their offices
counting rooms, pulpits, schools ant
social and domestic duties. An occa-
ls!onal cottager remains to enjoy the late
fishing and the lovely fall weather, bui
the rush is over. 1t has been perhaps
the greatest season in the history OF
any Iowa resort.
Hampton.
The most important case thus far tried
IN the district court is that of Francisco
Guthriet VS.. the Mason City & Fol-
Dodge railroad. Mr.. Guthrie appealed
from the award allowed by the sheriff's
jury for damages for right-of-way thru
his farm. This case was tried to a jury
and resulted in fixing damages in the
sum OF $500, being an increase of So,
500 over the amount of the appraisement
by the sherifrs jury.

Work upon the new school buildings
has been greatly delayed by the inabill-
ty OF contractors to get material when
wanted. All factories are behind on or
ders owing to the large demands Of the
prosperous season. The parochial school
building is completed except the inside
finishing, but will not be ready for occu-
pancy for three weeks yet. The teachers

Dubuque.
A motorman on the Union Electric line
was so drunk one day last week that he
plunged of his car and took a header
on the street. An official Of the road
who was near ran over. believing he was
injured, but he was not. AS rule, 1t is
only sober men who are hurt when they
fall down.. The official told him that his
services were no longer needed and,
jumping on the car. ran it himself until
another motorman could be summoned.

Now that the voters OF Winterset have
voted the railroad tax asked for by the
Des Moines Southern Railway Company
by nearly unanimous vote and the
merchants and stock shippers have
pledged their patronage TO the road. It
would seem that the people have well
done their part in securing the proposed
road. It's up to the railroad company,
and the public would like to see the con-
struction OF the road begun at once, says
the Madisonian.

Plans OF the new hospital are on file
in City Clerk Fosters Office. They are
elegant and the Institution would be q
fine Improvement for the city. The Citi-
zen understands that the most that
stands in the way OF securing the tnsti-
tuition at present is the guarantee Of the
maintenance of the wards. 1t is sug-
gested, and the suggestion is good. that
the churches maintain the charity ward,
the K. p. lodge another ward, the Ma
sonic another, etc.
Waterloo.
The shipping of apples to Waterloo
has begun, one company receiving the
first car load Friday. They are Missouri
apples and are mostly Jonathans. with
a few Ben Davis and Missouri Pippins.
On the whole they are good, the seconds
being a bit wormy. Now that the ship-
ring has begun 1t will continue rapidly
and will last over a considerable period.
The car load received contained 175 bar
rels. A car runs all the way from 100
to $50 barrels. The retail price of the
apples received Friday was from $3.50 to
$3.50 per barrel.

The town was full of doubtful charac-
tiers of all descriptions last week, the
fair being the drawing card. Several
houses were entered but nothing OF val
ue taken, excepting that Mr.. Smith liv-
ing in Kingman's addition had $40 taken
by some one who forced an entrance
thru a window. and there were several
attempts made to enter houses that
proved abortive. The short change
