Carroll.
E. NJ. Parsons has received full re-
turns from the 4.20o sheep he shipped
Ito Chicago last week. They were In
prime condition and topped the mar
kets every day they were placed on
sale. These sheep were fresh from the
range when he received them last sum-
mr. but with judicious care and feed
ing they were in shape when shipped
to compete with any on the markets.
Northwod.
The people of Northwood are in fa-
lvor of building an electric railroad
/ from here to Fertile. They are not
only in favor of the road. but they will
help build it. Several of the monied
men of the town have informed the
Anchor that they are ready at any
time to put some money into such a
road. Fertile is little over Is miles
lin straight line southwest of North
wood.
Oskaloosa.
Workmen on the new federal build
ing have resumed activity again even
lii the thermometer is below the freez-
ing point. The last course OF the Bed
ford stone has been placed and work
upon the brick work will soon be COM
menced. One man has been setting
frames and with any favorable weather
at all there win be considerable pro-
gress made in the building within the
next few weeks.
Abba.
Sheriff Doner arrested Jesse White
in Abba Sunday, wanted in Sioux
Falls, South Dakota on charge of
grand larceny. He was placed in jail
here awaiting the arrival of Sioux
Falls officials. He has been here for
three months in the employ of Charles
Ramsey handling one of his dray
teams. The Union reporter visited
White in the pail. He says this is an
old charge and there's spite work be-
hind it. He thinks he will be back In
Abba at work in short while. He haa
borne good name while here.
Ottumwa.
The Courier states that Ottumwa
will undoubtedly lose the opportunity
to secure an automobile factory unless
unforeseen occurs. The COM
mittee in whose hands the subscrip
tions for the bonus has been left is
disgusted with the treatment
1t has received. and will probably
make report within day or so that
it can not raise the necessary money.
This mean the loss of a weekly pay
roll OF at least $500. and the citizens
of Ottumwa are letting 1t slip thru
their fingers without an effort being
made to retain 1t. About $1,500 has
been raised already, and the committee
feels that this is about the best 1t can
do.
Clear Lake.
AS previously stated In the Reporter, |
the ladies of the Library Association
are very desirous of securing ninety |
nine year lease of the lot adjoining |
the city hall on the south. for the pur-
pose of erecting thereon a building to |
be used for the library. The city coun-
ell seems favorably disposed to the |
and at Its last meeting on |
Friday night, 1t appointed a commit
tee to meet with the Library Associ- |
ition and authorized this committee to
grant this lease under certain condi-
ions. 1t is very probable that this
meeting will result in a satisfactory
disposition of the question, and then
he ladies will at once begin the pre-
iminary work securing plans, ETC., TO,
heir new building.
According to the Press. scores and
scores of crows hang around the west
slaughter house, and cav and croak

irst vaccinated when six months old,
md 1t has never taken since, tho he
,ried 1t every time In his 60 years
practice when he treated case. DR.
Wickham yaccinates himself every
,ear, but it had not taken till this year
or 16 years. DR.. Eiskamp says 1t

o's. are not agreed as to that.
-eMars.
Roman Miller writes to his parents
hat he has been assigned to the Unit
ID States training ship Pensacola" off
san Francisco. He is much pleased
With the life and it's novelty and tells
# the routine and how he is learning

are provided is excellent and in the
vening, after work. the boys have
ccess to a splendid library The
and plays on shipboard every even
ng. One feature that appeals to Ro-
nan is the mode of settling quarrela
mong shipmates If any trouble
rises the two disputants are made to
ut on the gloves while the others
orm a circle and watch fair play.
