5 ADVERTISING IDEAS.

The surest index person can have
regarding the circulation Of paper
in any community, is the Want or
Classified column. The Want column
is the mouthpiece of the public; it is
an expression of the needs and desires
of all the people. 1t contains the best
kind of news, interesting, gossipy. Cir.
culation is everythin to the person
who uses the Want Column. The me,
dunn which gets his notice before the
greatest number of people is the one
which will bring him the greatest re-
suits. The public can not be misled
on this point Results are all that
count with the advertiser in the Want

I HlR TEEN FIRES
Unlucky Number Occurred in OF
tumwa During March.
MALICIOUS MEDDLlNG WITH BOXES
Chief Schmidt Finds That Some One
Is Gripping the Facilities of the
enthusiastically Report AS 1t
Will Be Made This Evening.

The city fire department responded
to thirteen alarms during the month
of March, according 20 Chief Schmidt's
report which will be made to the coun-
Gil at it's regular meeting this evening.
The work was punched during the last
week of the month, and the total loss
was considerable although the firemen
did their utmost in putting out the
blazes. One of the hardest battles
was with the McGovern house on the
railroad track near Union street. Here
the fire was not bad and the damage
not great, but the blaze was hard to
find because it was directly under the
roof and had to be reached from the
outside owing to the fact that the
house was filled with smoke.
Malicious Work.
Chief Schmidt has learned of some
malicious work which is being done by
persons unknown and which may cause
no end of trouble at some time if not
stopped Immediately He has found
at several times fire alarm boxes in
which the key holes were stopped with
clay or cloth and could not have been
used had fire broken out. He makes
a weekly inspection of all the boxes,
but even then he cannot keep the key
holes as they should be- Another
piece of mischief which Chief Schmidt
wants to stop is the practice of send
ing false alarms to the central station
and causing the department to make
needless runs. This was done on APP
ril / and the fremen went to the Mil
waukee junction This is not wearing
upon the men to any great extent but
lis decidedly hard on the horses Chief
Schmidt has offered a reward of $40
to anyone who is caught tampering
with the boxes or sending in a false
alarm, and intends to punish to the
limit the first case which comes to his
notice.

N. ". A. TALK CHANGE
Ottumwa Camps Have Been Asked
to Join in Movement.
FOR WOODMEN REFORM ASSOCIATION
Movement Primarily to Look After
Economy of the order-Many ex-
press Themselves as Opposed to Re-
adjustment of Insurance Rates.

The Ottumwa camps of the Modern
Woodmen of America have received a
communication from the Iowa camp,
No. SO, of the NJ w. A of Burlington
with regard to the formation of a
Woodmen Reform association in the
state of Iowa. Circulars have been
sent out by the Burlington camp to
the various camps throughout the state
asking their cooperation in this mat
ter. According to the present plans
delegates are to be appointed from
each of the camps of the M. w. A. to
meet in convention for the purpose of
formulating plans, adopting approprl-
ate resolutions and performing such
other as matters as will make the re-
form movement a success. This mat
ter it seems is meeting with quite gen
eral favor in many camps throughout
the state and it is probable that the
local camps will join in the movement.
The Burlington camps are DESTROYS to
get affairs started as soon as possible
and hope that the convention may be
called to meet within the next month
or six weeks.
Plans of Reformation.
The aims of the reform association,
as set out in the circular that has
been issued, are: First-The adop-
ton of such measures of economy as
can be adopted without injury to the
order. Along this line the reformers
will ask that the number of directors
of the order be reduced from five to
three, and that instead of allowing
the directors to reside in the various
sections of the jurisdiction, and
charge the order up with mileage
every time they go to Rock Island to
attend a meeting of the board, the
reformers will make it obligatory fol
the directors to reside in Rock Is
land during their term of service, and
devote their entire time to the good
of the order.
They will also ask for the abolition
of the Office of state and district lee
turers, ask that all head camp officers
be required to live at Rock Island, and
devote their time exclusively to the
good of the order. Other reforms pc
culiar to the order will also be asked.
The savings that will be made by
these reforms it is proposed to make
for the benefit of the members, an6
the reformers will ask for an amend
ment to the bylaws that will enable
the order to transfer all the surplus
in the general fund at the end of the

Mineral Springs.

Mrs. E. Harry, living near Miner
al Springs, says: Two facts i'm
pressed themselves on me from u.s.
ing Doan's Kidney Pills. First the
quickness and completeness with
which they produced relief; second,
the comparatively small amount of
the medicine required to cause that
effect. During the summer and
fall of 1897 and winter of 1898 ran
down physically and my back was
never free from heavy dull pain
which made me miserable. | pro-

ours to make this fact known

East Court Street.

Mr.. E. A. Holt, of 119 East Court
street, in the insurance business,
says: 81 had occasion to use Doan's
Kidney Pills for one of the symp-
toms of kidney complaint for which
they are recommended. If l had not
obtained positive results from their
use would not have any confidence
in the claims made for them, Meth
er would l recommend them to my
fellow citizens of Ottumwa. My adj
vice based on actual experience is,
if anyone suffered from inactive or
weakened kidneys do as did, go to
Will l.. Sargent's drug store, pro-
cure Doan's Kidney Pills, take the
as directed and they will endorse
that preparation as heartily as To-

year to the benefit fund,an use it for
the payment of death losses.
Want No CHANGE of Rates.

The most important object of the re-
formation is to oppose the proposed
plan of the reimbursement of the in
surance rates of the order as suggest
ed by the head camp officers, and to
formulate and submit another plan
which they claim is equally as prac-
teal and more equitable. The details
of this new plan are not given for
publication at this time, as it is
thought that the convention may
modify the same.
Reformation Popular.
The reform movement was started
in York, Neb., several months ago,
and is probably the most popular
movement that has been started in the
order. The greater number of the
camps of the order have taken very
readily to the movement and the re-
form element threatens complete re-
organization of the order at the next
head camp meeting to be held at In
dianapolis, Ind, in June. 1903.

Request of Miners for $1.7o Per Yard

Nrom MONDAYS Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Rumors of a threatened strike of
the employees at the mines operated
by the Phillips Fuel Co. at Rutledge
continue to float about the city with
great persistency, though from all
that can be learned the employees are
working today. From information re-
ceived from officers of the company
it has as yet received no intimation
from the mines that would indicate a
strike.
A New Mine.
The mine where rumor states that
there is a possibility of a strike is in
shaft No. 5, which is new shaft that
is being opened up by the company
and as yet is not ready wor working.
According to Henry Phillips state
ment there was request made by the
miners at this place a few weeks ago
that they be paid $1.70 for entry driv-
ing. The answer given by the com.
pany was that it would pay $15O ac-
cording to the Ottumwa agreement
and as result the case was taken
before the john executive board of the
operators nd miners.
The boa d decided in favor of the
company for ne $3.50 price and al
