said he did not care for the loss of
sleep occasioned, and neither did the
men, but the danger to the horses is
of the matter Had there been fire
in the West End, East End, or even in
the business portion of the city when
any of the false alarms was being an.
swersd, much time would have been
lost in reaching the scene and no doubt
much damage would have resulted
Happily there was no such occurrence
but the injury to the horses and the
mischief that might have been done
makes the offense serious one No
one could be found who knew anything
about the person or persons who turn
ed in the alarms. but should the Of
fender be located he should be dealt
with as would be any other criminal
dangerous to the public.
The New Department.
All of the men were on hand to take
their places Monday evening, with the
exception of Driver Higdon for the hose
wagon on the. North Side He was out
of town yesterday. but is at work
today. His place last night was
temporarily filled by Chauncey
Graves. Chief Stark, although he
has had no time to instruct
the new men regarding their duties be-
fore the alarms began coming in, was
well pleased with the alacrity with
which they responded Stark is an ex-
perienced fireman and was on the de-
partment as assistant chief in 1894.
Although the majority of his men are
new at the game of fighting fire he be-
lieyes that he will be able to present
an able fire department in a few
months. His assistant chief, Charles
Moul, has also had considerable ex-
perience and is a valuable man.

mencement of the college year. The
CLANS made. that if Mr.. Wright has
been accurately quoted, that Edward
3. Clark of Iowa will undoubtedly be
rendered some other position shortly,
and that year hence, when Mr.Wright
resigns, the shift will be made. The
impression seems to prevail that Mr..
Clark will ultimately accept the Office
of assistant secretary of the depart
ment of commerce. it being generally
understood that he may have that de-
sired position il he desires it.

To Farmers
and Others

We have just unIoaded a car load of
buggies, road wagons surries
and spring wagons. They are
the latest 1903 design built
in Michigan of the very best
material. We would be pleased to take
you up stairs and show you what we
have brought to Otutmwa for our pa
irons. 1t is generally known that we
have largest stock as we'll as the latest
improved machinery in southern Iowa.
Now we don't claim to have the largest
stock of buggies-in fact our immense
stock of implements make the buggy
department look rather small-never-
theless we have choice and we'll as
sorted line of buggies. We warrant
the buggies just as we have always
warranted our implements that is, give
you value received for every dollar you
pay for. Remember our long suit is
buggies, implements, harness, wind
mills, pumps and don't forget the bug
gies.
Very truly yours,
Geo. w. Davidson.

HOLD MONTHLY MEETING.
Members of Hospital Association Hold
REGULAR Business Session,

= =
The Hospital ASSOCIATION met at the
home Of the secretary, Mrs Alice Wa
terman, Wednesday for the regular
monthly business meeting. There was
full attendance of the officers and
committeeman. Much enthusiasm
was exhibited in the discussion of
plans for the enlargement of the hos
pital and for the increase in the facili-
ties for properly carrying on the hos
pital work. The superintendent and
corps of nurses are made to feel the
lack of proper Accommodations and ia
cilities every day. More private
rooms are needed as well as better fur
nishings for those in use. The p. E.
O. society has recently reprinted and
refurnished the room which is under
their care. Material for curtains and
muslins for towels and beds are very
much needed, and any one who has
any thing of the kind which they can
spare will confer great favor upon
the hospital management if they will
give it as a donation.
The people are also asked to stow
away articles suitable for the use of
the hospital at their rummage sale
which is contemplated for the early
fall.

The United States consul at Nichu-
wang, China, writes to the state de-
partment that the Chinese are taking
to the bicycle in increasing numbers.
The bicycle would become very gener-
ally used il the price could be brought
within the means of the natives and
some changes in construction be adopt
ed. The Chinaman is poor mechanic
and the machine should be so built as
not to get out OF order. The main
points are strength, durability and
cheapness in order to make the ma
chine sell in China. a native will sit
all day long on horseback or on cart
in so cramped a position that to for
eigner it would be simply unbear-
able, without murmur, and look
pleasant at night. The people of China
are not willing to pay cent for COM
fort or luxury.
The bicycle for China must be pune
tureless; the pedals must be hung
higher to avoid contact with rough
places and stones; must have the chain
protected against dust and must be
strong and heavy and cheap. A BIZ
cycle answering this description will
have a great run in the land Of the
pigtail.

Secretary Shaw is after the men
who got away with the old coins found
in the corner stone of the old mint in
Philadelphia. When the stone was
raised a glass jar was found which
contained half dozen coins-pennies
the finder says-but Secretary Shaw
has just suspicion that possibly
there may have been some gold coins
in the glass jar When the workman
uncovered the par with it's mementos
instead of reporting the find to the
proper authorities. he lugged it home
and proceeded to hand out the relics
according to his own sweet will. When
the matter came to the ear Of Secre,
tary Shaw, he asked to have an ac-
counting made according to law. 1t is
not believed there were any coins OF
intrinsic value in the jar.
