fully, and the Importance of the dedi-
cation of the new public library de-
mands special day for the event.
Is Being Assembled.
The big cannon which will be re.
ceived in Ottumwa in short time is
probably at the. Rock Island arsenal at
present, being assembled in prepare
tion for setting up in this city. There
were a few parts missing and these
are to be supplied at Rock Island.
Captain S. B. Evans stated this morn
ing that there is no doubt that the gun
will be in position before the Fourth
of July so that ceremonies can be held
at that time. Major Samuel Mahon
will be in Rock Island tomorrow and
will ask that the work be rushed
A Valuable Trophy.
The government officials were loath
to part with the cannon because of the
fact that, as learned only after it had
been promised to Ottumwa, the metal
shield which is placed in front of the
gun for protection has been pierced by
a ball and shows very strongly the eff

during the battle at the mouth of San
tiago harbor. The Maria Teresa was
in the thick of the fight until she was
literally riddled, and the gun which
has been started upon its journey to
Ottumwa will be a constant reminder
of that memorable conflict. It will be
means also of teaching children OF
the city patriotism as well as keeping
historical facts before them.
The Ceremony.
The ceremony on the Fourth at the
cannon will be short and simple. 1t is
the plan to have two speakers, one tc
give history of the gun and nara
tive of the battle in which the Maria
Teresa was ruined by the American
war dogs; the other to deliver short
address in commemoration of the
event, touching upon what it means t.
the city and to the people. A band
will be in attendance to play appropri
ate national airs and at the end of the
ceremony flag will be hoisted over
the cannon.

Yesterday Afternoon.
IFrom Mondays Daily.]
Yesterday was the warmest day of
the season thus far, the thermometer
registering SO degrees, and the sis it
warm enough for you, and what do
you think of this for q hot one" fiends
were out in nualbers. The contrast
between the state of the weather
Thursday when the maximum heat
was 60 degrees, and yesterday when
the thermometer had risen 20 degrees
was most noticeable, and was the
cause of much discomfort to the people
in general. When the sudden change
in the temperature is considered, it
leads one to believe that a mistake has
been made this season, that the spring
weather people are wont to look fol-
at this time of the year has in some
manner been overlooked, and that sum
| mer has arrived on the scene a trife
early. The weather indications for to
| day predict heavy thunderstorms fc,

cooler weather will follow.

CLARK IN TROUBLE.
Former ottunnWa coIored Man Arrest
ed in Cedar Rapids.

= I. f. &
Spencer Clark, a colored barber who
formerly lived in Ottumwa, and whose
wife died In this city some years ago,
is under arrest at Cedar Rapids charg.
ed with incest committed upon the
person of his daughter, Tipsy, a ~
ye,ar-old girl.
The young colored girl appeared in
the police court of Justice Rail at Ce-
dar Rapids yesterday and told a story
such as is most revolving and abhor-
rent. About eight years ago she said
her mother died in Ottumwa and left
her mere child with two little sisters
as care to her father. She grew and
was just. beginning to wax into girl
hood when she says her father maze
her assume the relations of wife.
rather than a daughter That was
three, years ago. On two different oc-
casions she says they were forced to
leave different towns because OF the
showing of these relations. The family
came to Cedar Rapids last February
and have since made this their home.
Two little girls it is claimed will cor
robolrate Tipsy Clark's story which she.
repeated to County Attorney Glenn,
ans. The information was filed
and Clark was soon arrested. He was
very nervous when brought into court
and refused to plead until he should be
given an opportunity to consult an at
torneyl He was taken to lawyer by
Constable Carpenter.
The punishment for the crime ac-
cused ais provided by the code of Iowa
lis Imprisonment in the state peniten-
tiary for not more than ten years and
not less than one.

Joe Wilson, Jr., is the son Of Mr.

that last evening the mother, crazed by

1t is stated that young Hollander

little over IL years of age he has re.

Emother has many times pleaded and en-.

he has persistently refused to do so.
Only yesterday morning, it is claimed
tthat the marshall of Eldon met young
Hollander on the street and asked him
why he was not in school and advising
him to go, but received the reply that

RYoung Hollander is greatly stricken

CEREMONIES ON THE FOURTH
Arrival OF the Big Gun at o-tumwa
Will Be Celebrated as a Part Of the
Program for the National Holiday.
News Received Today.
From Mondays Dai

Z From Mondays Daily.
A feature which will add to the en-
tertainment in this city on July will
be the ceremonies attendant upon the
reception of the cannon recently pre-
scented by the government to the city
of Ottumwa. News was received to-
day from Washington that the big can
non from the maria Teresa" Admiral
Cervera's flagship, has been shipped
from the national navy yard at Wash
ington and will be stopped at Rock Is
land for an assembling of the parts.
Then it will again be started toward
Ottumwa. 1t is expected that the gun
will be in position in the city park be-
fore the Fourth, and those who have
the securing of the formidable weapon
in charge propose to hold short ser
vices of few minutes during the
Fourth of July celebration in honor Of
the arrival of the gun.
Library Dedication Postponed.
1t has been practically decided by
the board of library trustees that the
library dedication will not take place
in connection with the Fourth of July
celebration The building, it is
thought, will not be in readiness for
the dedicatory ceremonies before the
middle of July at the earliest, and the
trustees do not want to want to oper
the building before it is entirely ready
