October was a warm month. the
mean temperature during the thirty
one days was 81 degrees, which, consid-
ering the early frosts, nearly always
a strong feature of the second fall
month, shows that the thermometer
registered in higher figures than is u.s.
ually the case. The maximum temper
ature for the month reached the high
est notch on the twenty-second when
it touched the ~ degree mark, regis
tering the same mark on the three fol-
lowing days. The minimum tempera-
ture for the month was "a degrees on
October IA.
The heavy rainfall, which was eX-
perienced all summer has continued
into the fall months, although it has
slightly abated. During September
more rain fell, according to the rec
ords of Observer Albert Lager than
has fallen in any month since the To-
cal weather bureau was opened Dur
ing the past month. however. condi-

The heaviest downpour was from 1880

Ottumwa is to have the Postal Tel.

cording to a dispatch sent out today
from Des Moines, to the effect that G.
+. Fox, manager in Des Moines for
the Postal, has received notice that
work Will be commenced at once on a
line to lie constructed from Grinnell to
Oskaloosa and from Oskaloosa to OF
tu1nwa. Both Oskaloosa and Ottllm-
wa are row served by only the West
ern Union and the addition of the Pos
tai Office will be a great boon to bust
ness men and citizens in general.
Ottumwa has long been promised
the Postal Telegraph Co., and letters
have been sent repeatedly by citizens
70 the Chicago offices of that concern,
asking that branch be built into this
city. The answers have been almost
identical and to the effect that appro-
priations for additional lines We're be-
ing made continually and that OF
tumwa would probably be. in the list
| in short time That time has now
come and WITHIN year Ottumwa will
be well supplied with telegraph SER

| the Postal
Just how long it will take to CON
struct the line and put an Office into
working order in Ottumwa is hard to
| figure. The distance from Grinnell to

| from Oskaloosa to Ottumwa about
! twenty-five. This makes total of

fore an office can be established in
this city. in addition to the setting
of the poles. However, if large forces
OF men are put to work and the con.

were to, live on our farms for the term
of five years and at the expiration OF
| that time pay $3.50 per acre to the
government for our homes.
Wanted Free Homes.
After the lapse of few years we
saw it would be impossible for us to
! pay the specified price and in our dis
| tress we agitated for free homes. Our
agitation was carried on in the United
/ Stotnc ri oh
! tative, Hon. Dennis P. Flynn.
Mr.. Flynn introduced free homes

opposition, but our noble and patriotic
representative worked for the bill da.
and night until it finally passed ant
was signed by the lamented William

the people of my county on the posi-
bility of getting his bill passed ant
