OTTUMWA PACKING.
Movements of Hogs Reported Lighter
This Week.

[From Saturdays Dailyl
Ottumwa has had a substantial adj
vance in the price being paid for hogs
in the local markets during the past
week. The quotations for the top
price 500 being paid in this city to-
day show an advance of thirty cents
over that of a week ago when the
highest quotation was $3.50. Though
there has been a substantial advance
in the prices there has been slight
falling off in the number of hogs mark
eted during the past week. The quail
ity however, remains good and porkers
are coming in of about the average
weight.

and messaged to the senate. and re-
ferred to the ways and means com
mittee.
The ways and means committee con-
sidered the bill today, and with but
two or three votes in oppositiin, re-
ported it for indefinite postponement.
The writer had his bill referred to
the military committee, composed
largely of ex-Union soldiers, who are
friendly to the measure, but learned
that it would have to go to the ways
and means committee, as it affected
the revenues of the state.
1t is useless to have the bill refer
red to the ways and means committee,
as it will surely meet the fate of the
Donahue bill. I trust that this expla-
nation will be satisfactory to Comrade
Brattain and others interested in this
matter. S. H. Harper.

encouraging report. Indeed, all that was
said and reported showed progress and
enthusiasm. and the need for more room
and more equipment was one of the prin-
cipal themes of the meeting
The proposition to go ahead and spend
$4,000 on a dormitory and trust to the
legislature to pay 1t, was discussed. but
1t was thought the part of wisdom not
to risk 1t. The scheme finally adopted
was to appoint a committee which will
employ suitable man to go to each
county In the state and get the commits
sioners' courts interested. Each county
will be asked for 500 and in return two
boys will be accepted from each coun-
ty. 1t is hoped that at least 5000 can be
secured from this source.

d. r. Morrisette hospitable home for
general consultation and conference
on the future of the work.

TUSCALOOSA

Tuscaloosa. January Observation-Disclosures
some time it has been feared that the
dispensary would have to pay the State
the same amount of license that the five
saloons paid in 1901, but a letter received
by Mayor Cochrane from State Auditor
T l.. Sowell makes the burden much
lighter for the city. Mr.. Sowell says:
las to your dispensary license, am in
clined to think that your special law, ap-
proved February q, 1901, will govern the
matter Of the dispensary license" If Mr..
Sowell is correct. instead of paying $1,000,
as was feared, only $500 will be paid by
STusSaioosa.

meeting with Mrs. Henry Bacon Foster
on Greensboro avenue last evening. The
lecturer for the evening was Prof. w. G.

School Days of U. s. Grant"
Professor Richardson and Ulysses Grant
were school boys together at the semi
nary at Maysville, Ky, the college which
was erected by Professor Richardson

listened to with marked attention. He
told of the great general as a school boy
how he hunted and played, and of the
times in which he lived, the debating So
ciety, the dancing master and many other
interesting accounts. From his school
days he reviewed Grants career briefly.
On the whole, the lecture was a valuable
contribution to literature. since the speak
er was personally acquainted with Grant
