A PROMINENT YOUNG MAN.

Mr.. Arthur w. Branham who has
been a resident of Ottumwa for the
past three years, left that city last Fri
day for Omaha, Neb., where he will
make his future home. Mr., Branham
was one of Ottumwa's' prominent
society young men and his many
friends regretted to see him take his de-
parture, he possesses good character
self reliance and a good disposition
which is something that all young men
should aspire for, and certainly per-
500 possessing such traits as these will
be very successful, which is the wish
of his many friends.

suit against c. A. Gay, manager
of the Victoria hotel, for alleged
violation of the Civil Rights law.
The preliminary ;s"set for the II
before Justice Aylesworth. AS
Chester Gay does not have
enough gray matter in his crani-
um to tell where it is located, it
is no wonder that he attempted
to violate the law of the state.
Such men as him should be sent
nearer the equator, and perhaps
the heated rays of the sun would
do his head some good, for it
needs fixing badly.
