7. D. FOSTER MAKES GIFT.
ottumwan Gives Substantial Supper
to Parsons coIIene,


T. D. Foster of this city, and mem
Der of the board of trustees Of Par
sons college at Fairfield, has formally
offered to the institution $4,000 to
be used as a part of the building fund,
upon the condition. that like sum is
raised In the state outside Of Fairfield.
Residents of Fairfield and friends of
the college are everywhere expressing
their great appreciation Of the gener-
GUS gift. Concerning the donation the
Fairfield Journal says:

that T. D. Foster has made a gift OF
$25 900 to the building fund of Parsons

ing Of an equal amount in the state
outside of Fairfield. This will be
done. The greater Parsons is an as
sured fact. If Foster has taken it out
of the region Of supposed doubt and
speculation and placed 1t on solid
ground. All can see this now. The
college has been deeply indebted tc
him in the past, but this generous and
timely gift exceeds anticipation. The
college authorities say they will have
to devise some new way to express
their sense of obligation to Mr.. Foste,
for this gift and all the things he has
said and done for the college. Tho
old forms seem inadequate. The cit
liens here are equally exhuberant
and whenever Mr.. Fosters name is
mentioned in our city it is greeted
with deserved applause

Colorado Fuel Magnate Appeals to Uni
ted States Supreme Court.
John G. Osgood, formerly a resident
of Ottumwa, now chairman of the
board of directors Of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company. will today make ap-
plication before Justice Brewer Of the
United States supreme court at Wash
ington to have dissolved the order of
Judge Caldwell appointing master of
chancery to conduct the annual meet
ing of the company to be held on De-
cember 10, with power to decide all
questions as to the stockholders rights
to vote and other question which may
arise at the meeting, according to a
Denver dispatch printed in Chicago
papers this morning. 1t is an appeal
from the decision of Judge Sanborn Of
the United States circuit court at ST.
Paul sustaining Judge Caldwells Or
der.
If the court sustains Mr.. Osgood's
contention it will have the effect of dis
solving the order appointing master
of chancery and will permit of the cleo
ton being conducted without any su,
peryisor from the courts. 1t Is under.
stood, however, that it will not be the
cause of postponing the election, as all
legal formalities have been compiled
with.

slctans that he must relieve himself of
public, work and cares II he wanted to
live and as life was more precious to
him than the offices in the gift of the
people he had concluded to follow the
doctors advice. According to this au-
thority, however, there Is no likelihood
OF Mr.. Hanna's resignlng with the
senatorship or the craftsmanship of
the national committee, though he will
not ask for reelection to either posi-
ton, of which his term in the one ex-
pires in 1905 and in the other in 1904.
Probably 1t is because OF the report
going out that Mr.. Hanna intends to
Immediately retire from public life
that he considers this last denial
necessary.
Senator Hanna's House.
One of the reasons for the birth of
the Hanna retirement rumor was the
fact that he does not intend to renew
the lease of his house in Lafayette
square in Washington this winter.
This house was formerly occupied by
the late vice president, Gar
rett Hobart, and the an
nual rental is $4,000 Mr.. Hanna
IeApldIHeu some TIME ago That he did
not care to pay this large amount in
view of the fact that his family will
not be in Washington more than two
months the coming winter.
The Smiths In the House.
Judge Walter l. Smith of Iowa, is
one Of quite a little list Of Smiths" In
the house, all of whom have come up
smiling after the recent shock of bal
loting. One fell at the first charge,
Henry G. Smith, Of the second Michi-
gan district having failed of renomina-
ton. Two other Smiths from that
state were reelected. George W.
Smith, of southern Illinois, also lost
out after long service as a republican.
Pennsylvania has sent a new Smith to
public life. Judge Smith, of Iowa, is
one of three Smiths in the house who
are famous as raconteurs, the other
two being George ]. Smith, of New
York. and Henry G. Smith, of Michi-
gan, The new Pennsylvania Smith
comes from town the name of which
is Punxsutawney, as unusual as his is

Effort Being Made to Recognize

tumwa RecentIy-object Of orsani-
cation.

An effort is being made to reorgan-
lie the local chapter of the Sons of
the American Revolution, which was
started in this city about three years
ago. There were thirteen members in
the chapter that was organized then,
since, however, one of the original
thirteen, George H. Wheelock, has
moved away from the city and another
member, Levi Hills, has passed away.
The chapter now numbers eleven
members. Elbridge D. Hadley, the
secretary of the Iowa society, was in
the city the latter part of last week,
and while here he discovered about
thirteen more men who are eligible to
membership. Several of this number
will join the society, and it is thought
that soon the membership of the OF
tumwa chapter will have doubled
when, it is thought, meetings will be
arranged and the chapter placed on a
sounder footing.

ocratic in 1898.
TBY H. J. MAHIN,1

(. Washington, Nov. 1s.-Iowa heads
the list of republican states west Of
the Mississippi river. And this is say
ing good deal, for the west has been
developing repblicanism at rapid
rate for the past several years. One
of the most significant results of the
recent election is the proof it gives
that the states west of the Mississippi
river, from having been nearly equally
divided in 1898, have become almost
solidly republican. There are fifteen
different states in that region, of
which the republicans carried eight
ea1s years ago and the democrats
seven. This year the democrats car
Sfied only one out Of the fifteen states.
The following table gives the MAORI
ties in each Of these states in 1898,

Four years ago the republicans hat

-Four years ago the republicans mad
q majority Of 74,S00 in these trans
Mississippi states, although they
carried only eight of them. This year
they carry fourteen and have major
ity of 27S,600. The total republican
majority has nearly doubled while the
total democratic majority has fallen
off to an insignificant figure. Another
way to test the growth of republican,
ism in those western states is to COM
pare the number of representatives of
each party elected to the Seth congress
in 1898 and to the 5Sth congress Just
chosen. Four years ago the republi-
cans elected forty-nine representatives
and the democrats nine, falling off
of three for the latter Notwithstanding
the fact that the number of represen-
tatives from that region had been in
creased by seven. The last election
again demonstrated the impossibility
of the scheme for union between the
south and the west. When number
of states in the south voted for Bryan
in 1896 it was hoped by the democrats
that this long sought for union was
about to be realized. But since that
time the west has drifted steadily
away from the south Today the west
is as solidly republican as the south is
solidly democratic and apparently like
ly to remain so.

Mr.. Hanna's Retirement.

In spite of the denial from Cleve-
land of Senator Hanna's purpose to
retire from active participation in poll
tics with the expiration of his term
In 1905, it is believed in some well in
formed circles in Washington that he
has firmly made up his mind to do so.
In point of fact Senator Hanna last
winter told one Of his closest friends
in the senate that he did not wish an
other term in that body and that at
the proper time he would let the peo-
pie of Ohio know that he did not.
He also told this friend that the talk
Of his candidacy for the presidency
was as unfounded as 1t was useless,
because he had learned enough about
the burdens and yeXations of the office
to realize that its woes outweigh it's
pleasures. Moreover, the senator said
that he had been advised by his ply

Reward Is Increased.

This morning Mayor Picker author
lied Chief Gray to increase the offer
of reward for the arrest and conviction
of the party or parties who assaulted
Mr.. Wagner, to $500. The reward at
first offered was 5000, half of which
was offered by the Ottumwa Turnve-
rein, Of which Mr.. Wagner is a mem
Der, and the other half by the city.
The city's share has been raised to
s400 now and 1t is hoped that this may
induce more vigilance on the part of
the public and outsiders in an attempt
to locate the miscreants.

The Virtues of Cold Water.

Lord Bulwer-I4ytton was pro-
found believer in the efficacy of the
water cure for everybody, but in
particular for overworked literary
men. Whenever he was tired out
and felt the need Of recuperation
he would go to a water cure estab-
hshment for few days, drink wa
ter in unlimited quantities and be
sweated and soaked until he had
lost half dozen pounds in weight.
When he felt sufficiently reduced,
he would go back to business or
pleasure, generally with horrible
cold, but under the conviction that
he had been greatly improved by
the treatment. lie even wrote a
pamphlet or book on the subject, in
which he assumed the ground that
water would cure anything if man
only took enough.

authorities They have dispelled
the silly notion that one kind of
food is needed for brain, another for
muscles. and still another for bones.

a particular part OF the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet,
