CITY WANTS THE GUN.
ottumwa Will Get the Cannon From
Cervera's Fleet.

Last evening the first steps were
taken in the matter of securing and
putting in place one of the mammoth
guns which formerly graced Admiral
Cerveras flagship, the Vizcaya. A
meeting of citizens, which was held
at the city hall, was not largely at
tended owing to the fact that there
were several other affairs which de-
manded attention last evening, but
there can be no doubt that everyone
is highly in favor of securing this
monster trophy for Ottumwa if it is
possible, and the possibility cannot be
doubted when only about $3.50 is need
ed to pay the entire expense Com
mittees were appointed last evening
for carrying out the ideas expressed
by the gathering and it is expected
that only a short time will elapse be-
fore it is announced that the money
has been secured
Mayor PickIer Presides.
The meeting was called to order by
Mayor t. H. Picker, who had issued
the call for the affair when he learn
ed of the possibility of securing the
gun. E. B. Hill, Jr captain of Com
pany G, l. N. g., was made secretary.
Captain Evans Views.
Captain S. B. Evans, who has been
engaged in an attempt to get a gun
for Ottumwa for some time, was call
ed upon to state the conditions as they
prevail. He said that the Soldiers
Monument association of which he is
secretary, has in it's treasury about
$1,000 on interest, and he suggested
that money be raised as soon as pos
sible to about double the amount al
ready on hand, the money to be used
first for securing the gun which is Of
fered by Congressman John f. Lacey,
for the cost of moving and placing it;
second for building monument which
shall perpetuate the valorous deeds of
Iowa's soldiery in the Civil war.
The Item of Cost.
The cost of securing the cannon,
and even the monument, is not so
large that it dt.smays tne citizens even
for moment. Including the freight
cost from Washington. d. c., to OF
tumwa, the cement and stone founda-
ton for the gun and the bronze tab
let with inscription. it is estimated
that the cost will be no more than
$3.50, and possibly less
To Locate in City Park.
1t is the desire of those present last
evening that the city locate the gun
in the city park on Court street. 1t
was suggested thai the band stand be
torn down and cement and stone
foundation be laid in its place as soon
as possible so that when the gun
comes preparations will already be
made.
May Vacate Street.
AS suggested by. Mayor Pickler at
the meeting last evening the city
council may see fit to vacate the part
of Court street on the west side of
the city park for the benefit of the
public as part of the city park. The
mayor said that this had been men
toned to him several times of late
and that action would be taken on it
soon. This would make the city park
even more than ever an appropriate
place for the gun and the statue.
which it is the purpose OF the promot-
ers of the project to secure. With
the addition of the part of the street
mentioned, the library grounds on the
west, the city park could be improved
so that it would be even more than
now pleasant place to spend hot

OSTEOPATHY

The question is so often asked, what
diseases do Osteopaths treat. Lame
back, bachache, weak spines, spinal
curvatures, slipped and rotated verta-
brae, wry neck, lumbago, neuralgia,
cerebro spinal meningitis, rheumatism,
dislocated ribs, joint disorders, dis
eases of special senses, diseases of
childhood, bedwetting, cholera inran-
tom, ricketts,, whooping cough, nervous
disorders of all variety, diseases of the
circulatory system, diseases of the
gastro-intestnal tract 1t is indispu-
table that Osteopathy treats all dis
eases now known to the human family
far more successfully than medicine
with the exception of venereal dis
eases. If you are afflicted with any
disease it will pay you to consult

Opinion Of Court In Case Of
Letter Against Lyons
Handed Down.

The opinion OF the appellate division OF
the supreme court in the case of Joseph
Letter VS.. Louis Lyons on defendants pc
ttiion for new trial was handed down
today Defendant pleaded 10 plaintiff -
action or reployln 10 recover rotary mo-
tor OF the value of $500 non cepit;non de-
tinet; that he did not attach the property
in question. I'm manner ana form as al

the time when the taking etc, is suppos-
ed 10 be; and, that the property in the
goods replevled was IN one Edward c.

ON these pleas the plaintiff joined issue.

ing verdict The jury find that the prop

plaintiffs writ and declaration mentioned,
az the time OF the taking thereof. was IN
him, said plaintiff, and not in Edward q.
Warren, I'm manner and form as the
plaintiff has in his writ and declaration
complained"
Then came up on the defendants petit
tion for new trial on the grounds that
the verdict is against the evidence; that
the verdict is defective and that certain
rulings Of the trial court were erroneous.
Edward &. Warren entered into an agree
ment with Joseph and l.. u. Letter by
which a motor for which Warren had pa
tents were 20 be tested by the Letters.
The test resulted satisfactorily and the
work on the motors proceeded until War
rem thought il would he better to make
the motor somewhere else than al the
Letters shop in the north end Of this
city.
Warren managed 10 move the machine
without the knowledge OF the Letters 10
the dwelling house of the defendant on
Cranston street. Joseph Letter sued out
writ Of replevin and the motor was taken
from the cellar Of defendants house.
Judge Tillinghast who wrote the opn-
ion of the court most carefully reviews
the law on the five points raised. The
acceptance Of a surety company bond IS
held sufficient compliance with the stat
ute requiring the taking of bond to the
defendant with sufficient sureties in
double the value of the goods and chat
tells specified by the sheriff.
An exception was taken 10 the trial
judges charge relating 90 the defendants
liability even II he did not know that the
motor In question was I'm his possession
or under his control.
Judge Tilinghast says on this point:
I'VE think this contention is substantial
ly correct. IL Is a well settled rule Of
law that both parties TO an action are
entitled to a finding by the jury, upon all
the Issues properly submitted TO them,
and there is probably no form of action
where more exactness is required on the
verdict than In replevin.
A new trial is granted the defendant
unless plaintiff shall within ten days from
the filing Of the opinion submit TO a judg-
ment for the defendant for his costs on
his plea OF non cepit, That is the court
holds that while Letter proved property
I'm the motor there is no proof that de-
fendant ever took IL.
