The City Will Pay $50 Re-
ward.

The Missouri Valley Fire De-
partment is experiencing all kinds
of trouble from the work Of some
would-be practical joker who has
busted himself during the past
few weeks in turning in false
alarms of fire, in almost every in
stance from alarm boxes in the
very outskirts of the city. The
last alarm was turned in last night
about Ii o'clock and was rung in
from box IL in Seatonville. The
frequency OF the false alarms has
caused the Department an end
less amount of annoyance and if
the name Of the person engaged
in the work can be obtained it will
go rather hard with that person.
The city of Missouri Valley will
pay the sum of $50 in cash for in
formation that will establish the
identity of any person turning in
a false alarm of fire.
We are told that the McKen-
ney-Ogden treasurer's contest be-
gan yesterday and another ex-
pense will be mads for the tax
payers. It is the opinion of a
good many citizens that Mr. Nc
Kenney can never overcome the
majority of Mr. Ogden. 1t is q
good way, however. for the in
cumbent to keep himself in office
a tritle longer, provided the board
finds in favor of the present him.
Attorney Kellogg is looking after
the interests of the man who was
squarely and fairly elected.
Dunlap Reporter.
The republican editors of this
county are queer. When Shinn
contested Skeletons election to
the Sheriff's Office it was patriotic
duty we'll performed. Every re-
publican paper applauded him.
When McKenney contests Og-
denis election they all howl that
it is a shame. Funny fellows,
these republican editors.

Tho New Yoar Welcomed

Last evening the beautiful home of Dr.. and
Mrs. Colt was ablaze with light to welcome the
member Of the s'nienta Club whom the mis-
tresa OF the home I'D invited to bid good bye
to the Old Year and welcome 'his son and heir,
who rode post haste and ca ne to take up his
own" A usual. . program had been arranged
for the evening's entertainment. As the Club
is wandering over the steppes of Russia and
through the bleak plains of Siberia this winter,
Mr. Anderson opened the evenings discussions
by giving very comprehs nsive talk upon that
period of Russia's formation which ante dated
Peter the Great. Mr. Dewell follow ed with
ten minute talk upon the mainr achievements
of the empire until the beginning of the Nine
teenth century. SDr. Sniff told of the progress
of Russias civilization, her arts, science and
literature. Mr.. Hosbrook spoke of the prot
able dominating policy of the Russian empire
during the present century. The intention of
the program had been that discussion should
follow the opening of each topic and the ladies
had pledged Themselves To keep quiet while
the men had the flor and donbtless they
meant to. but alas for the best laid plans of
interesting that all wanted to talk at one time.
The discussions were very lively and much en-
joyed.
At eleven pollock the call came to the dining
room. At each cover was found bunch of
carnations, the red to be worn by the ladies',
While the gentlemen adorned the lapels of their
coats with those of snowy color In the center
of the long table huge center piece of peculiar
construction was found, surmonnted by the
American flag, which was thanked by the Rus
sian standard. Many glances of curiosity were
directed toward the construction during the
feast and the mental conclusion of most was
that the hostess meant to represent Russian
fort, but after the guests had discussed the de-
liciou, menu and done it full Justice, and Just
~ the old year gave its dying sigh the hostess
babe each guest to pull at the silken cord which
radiated from the centerpicce to each cover
then the mystery was solved. THE pie was
opened" aud while the birds did not begin to
sing everyone around the table put in his
thumb and pulled out plum in the shape of
q souvenir, some useful, some grotesque, some
prehistoric Russian woman" Then the chimes
rang out as all joined hands around and gave a
welcome to the New Year. Jest and story then
filled an hour and when the year was enc hour

EDITOR DAILY TIMEs:-DEAR SIR
The Times is a weekly visitor
to our home and / assure you it liz
highly appreciated by me and all
the members of our home. From
our short acquaintance in your
city, and by the manly stand TAX
en- in the political field, and
considering the field in which it
is published, it is always well
come visitor to our home; and now
If you will grant me space in your
valuable columns, [ would like to
express my opinion and sympathy
and admiration for that hero of
Santiago, Admiral Schley, WHO
has just received the death knell
Of that Naval Bureau Clique who
has had it's petty vengeance, its
three long years of open conspira-
cy Of low cunning contemplate
scheming, and of brazen lying en-.
ding in victory for itself al aver
dict against the object of it's ha.
tired.
only voice the sentiment of ev.
cry patriotic citizen of the United
States, and every Democrat there
in, in demonstrating against the
treatment to which that hero has
been subjected by an unscrup-
.lus gang of rotten politicians who,
seeing that he was possibly an
availible eastern candidate for the
Presidency in 1899, sought to de.
stroy the honor and reputation OF
one of the most gallant heroes OF
this or any other age. Never has
justice and honor suffered great
er outrage than this; never have
political intrigue been prostituted
to baser ends of authority and
power won a greater victory.
The Naval Bureau Clique may
we'll gloat over it's triumph-it has
robbed a brave man of his laurels;
it has smerched a life story which
was above reproach; it has com.
PEELED two men of clean record and
fair name to forget honor and in
tegrity and justice, and to remem-
Der only the political power of the
men who babe them act, and it has
written into American History a
page which will dim the glory of
the greatest victory ever won upon
the high seas; it has sent to the
world this message: that an Amer.
lean officer may be a gentleman
and a brave man, and success
tul one, but he must bow the knee
to the clique at Westinghouse
must bow his head to official dis.
grace; it has left to the American
generations to come this lesson
that courage and honor and noble
achievements under the flag of our
country counts for nothing with
out political influence. History
repeats itself in national affairs;
the readers of The TINES need on
ly go back to the war of the late
rebellion when one of the bravest
and most talented generls of mod
ern ages, was summary dealt with

Regarding the Saloon Peti.
ton.

LlOus
This mornings issue of the Council
Bluffs Nonpsriel has the follng to say
regarding the fight resulting from the
circulation of the saloon petition in
this city:
THE consent petition for the opera
tioE of saloon in Mo. Valley is now
on file in the office of the county audi
tor at Logan. The business men who
had charge of the petition secured sew
enteen names more than the required
80 per cent. Out of the 500 voters, $3.50
signed the petition and it is said that
not over thirty of those who did not
sign are opposed to saloons if operated
under and according to the present
law. The petition from the start had
the support of the business men, the
commercial club and both daily news
papers. The only real opposition has
been from the Antl-Saloon league, q
few disgrunted politicians and three
ministers. An effort is now being
made by these parties to get the sign
ers to have their names removed from
the pc ition, but it is said with little
success"

The most healthful place in the
United States to live is Marion, Iowa,
according to reports received by the
Marine Hospital serv;cs from 1880
cities and towns having population
of LOCO OF over. Marion has popu-
'lation of A. O2 and there were only six
deaths in 1900, making death rate of
the phenominally low figure of l As
per 1000. The average of the death
rate IN all the cities and towns was
l747. 1t appears from the compila-
ition of the Marine Hospital service
that the state having the best record
for health last year was North Dakota
with death rate of only 6 60 per 900
populations. by far the most health
fnl of the populous states, however,
was Iowa, the death rate being III II.

Another Watch Party.

that though 1.-THE eye of the Old Year wos grow

they could not let him d G unmatched and so
they invited the Fourth Street Whist Club to
come and spend some hours in their beautiful
home and bid goodbye to the year as it passed
away. The entertainment of the evening was
whist. Each guest seemed to be in the best
playing mood and the evening was delightful
one. Near midnight most delicious supper
was served in two courses. The embellishments
of the rooms were palms and ferns and scores
OF waxen tapers twinklcd their little lights
from every mantel, nook and corner. Twenty
five guests were present. After the New Year
had been welcomed the gentlemen formed
smoking party and filled the smoking room
with the odors of the fragrant weed and the
ladies IN their part filled the air of the parlor
with peals of merry laughter they discussed
Thousand things dear to the feminine heart.

to few of her young friends. The young peo

dining room whose dainty attractiveness and
embellishments attested To the deft skill of
Mrs. r. O. Nils. In the center of this dining
table stood stately amaryllis in full bloom the
deep coloring of the blossoms contrasting vivid

for the very same purpose. No
greater man ever lived 10 modern
ages than Gen Geo b McClelland,
yet he WAS put under foot by a
political clique for his American
Patriotism, and ruthlessly led to
the slaughter pen at the dictation
of political robbers and designing
demagoges.
How about James A. Garfield,
our late lamented President, who
was struck down because he was
not recognised as one OF the Po-
Ilitical Clique, and the American
people tolerated this treatment of
our hero and endorsed it!
