LIFE ON GIBRALTAR.

Visitors Are RigidIy Examined and
Must Give Bond for Good Behavior.
The incoming steamer anchors in the
bay half mile from shore, passengers
are taken off in boats and before en-
tering the city they pass rigid inspec-
ton by the police, says a writer in the
Ledger Monthly, who ask number Of
pertinent and impertinent questions
The name. nationality, occupation and
mission of the stranger in Gibraltar
are entered in book; he receives a
card which entities him to the hospi-
tally of the rock for twenty-four
hours. If he desires to stay longer a
bond of $50. for good behavior will Sc
cure him immunity from molestation
for not more than thirty to sixty days
This permission, however, can, with
the proper kind of influence, be re-
newed many times.
The town is quaint, picturesque and
quiet, with its 10000 people, mostly
English and Spanish, though the mum

The garrison numbers about 5000 per

rock about $4,000. The soldiers are for
the most part, regulars brought home
from foreign service for rest and recu-

very crowded, as 1900 people live in

A WINNING EXPERIMENT.
One Stock Feed Which Farmers Rec
omrnend unanimously.

OHfpSHQ OndHirnOuSIys
"The best experiment station at
which to test the relative value of the
different stock foods is right on your
own farm and in your own stable" said
a prominent farmer Saturday. "The
real thing about a feed is how 1t works
on your own stock. What we want is
a feed that will make fat, muscle and
bone all at once and one cheap enough
so we can afford to buy it. was In
duced to try the Excelsior Corn and
Dat Feed sold by Henry Weber at 502
South Center street and / find 1t fills
the bill completely. 1t makes fat fast,
is great milk producer and is one
of the best things I have ever found
for young stock, either pigs or calves.
My neighbor feeds it to his dairy cows
to increase the flow of milk and simply
swears by it. I am feeding it to my
fattening cattle and one of the best
farmers I know buys wagon loads of
it for his fattening hogs. The best
thing about 1t is that we buy it at
S5 cents per hundred Then others
chimed in in praise of Excelsior Feed
All were buying it of Weber and all
were more than satisfied. Weber has
plenty of it, buys it by the carload and
can convince any doubter who will give
it trial. Either phone. Ask him
about it.

THE SOLDIERS BOUNTY FUND
Commissioner j. M. Parker Makes His
Report on the Case, Holding That
Those EnIisting After April !, 1864,
Not Entitled to a Share-Widows
Will Receive Husbands Equity.

Hon J. NJ. Parker, who was APP
pointed at the June term of the dis
trict court as commissioner of the SOL
diers' bounty fund, to ascertain and
share in the bounty fund, has made his
report, which Judge Burnham will act
upon shortly. The fund amounts TIC
$4,000, and was provided in the latter
sixties by the tax payers and for years
forgotten, until few years ago the
matter was recalled and efforts started
to have the money paid to it's rightful
owners.
Commissioner Parker has held all
parties enlisting after April l, 1864
under the last resolution of the board
of supervisors, are not entitled to share
in the bounty fund; also that all heirs
including the widow of a soldier who
would have participated in the distri-
button, if alive, should receive the
shares entitled to.
AS soon as the costs can be ascer-
tanned and deducted from the total
amount the order will be made by
Judge Burnham calling for the distri-
button among the 145 who are entitled,
as shown by the report of the commits
sioner. Clerk of Courts Knisely al
ready has the money in his possession

TEST WELL ABANDONED.
City Experimental Well VIII Not Be
Completed This Year Owing to Late
; race of %ho CAo1nn


ness Of the Season.
Some time ago the water committee
of the city council was of the opinion
that an experimental we'll should be
dug on the city property north of the
Iowa river, for the purpose of seeing
what might be done in case the screens
in the driven wells, from which the city
water is supplied, should become
clogged with refuse and the water sup
ply impaired.
This was ordered done and workmen
have been digging for several weeks on
an eight-foot well near the old one in
Pierce's Park. Owing to the lateness
of the season and the difficulty of Sc
curing men to continue the work it has,
for the time being, been abandoned.
The soil in that locality is SO completely
saturated with water that 1t was neces-
sary for the men to continually be in 1t
while working. A large pump was used
to empty the well Of water, but it was
of little avail. as the hole filed as rap
idly as the water was pumped out.
On Its property the city now has
3thirty-three driven six-inch wells, from
which the water used by the city is
pumped. Twenty OF these were dug last
season, and thirteen more We're added
this year Seven more are being dug
now, which will be completed in few
weeks. When these are completed the
line will include twenty.
The city is experiencing considerable
difficulty in the building of the North
Third avenue sewer. The work has
been pushed almost to the junction OF
Third avenue and Marion street but
owing to the soil being all sand, and
very full of water, the work has pro-
crossed slowly. The Britain & Co.
sewer, from the plant to the main sew
er, which was ordered built by the
council some little time ago, was COM
meneed Saturday. Several weeks will
be necessary to complete it.

cal High School Team at Waterloo on
Saturday.
The Waterloo high school football
team took Marshalltown on it's own
gridiron Saturday and trimmed her to
the tune of II to 0. Waterloo played
much the same game as she did here
three weeks ago, when the locals were
beaten by score of to 0. MARSHALL
town lost by costly fumbles, made at
critical moments. Marskalltown kicked
off in the first half and after five min
utes of play Waterloo made her first
touchdown, and kicked goal. She was
not able to score again in the half,
however. In the second half MARSHALL
town lost the ball on her own twenty
yard line and Waterloo ran it over
for the second touchdown, failing in the
try for goal. With but one more min
ute to play Waterloo again showed the
ball over her opponents goal for the
third touchdown and goal. Phillips, of
Marshalltown, and Edwards, of Water
loo. acted as officials. Bergen, of Mar
shalltown, and Mckinley. of Waterloo,
kept the time. After the game the Wis
iting team was entertained and given a
banquet by the Waterloo men, which
was greatly enjoyed by the visitors.
