President of Martin Telephone
Co., Webster City, Finds 1t
Saves Labor

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, July 1S.-E. H. Martin
of this city, president OF the Martin
Telephone company, has found a new
and novel use for the automobile and
one to which that machine was prob
ably never before put. AS necessity is
the mother OF invention so too in this
case was need the cause of the new
machine. This new use in short is the
using Of the automobile as a tug for
pulling telephone wires thru the under
ground conduits Of the underground
telephone which he owns in this city.
Mr. Martin was riding his automobile
about the city yesterday overseeing
the various gangs he has working up
on different extensions. Mr.. Martin
is riding his beautiful machine great
deal OF late nor is this due to the fact
that he is the possessor of the finest
and largest automobile in the city, but
rather to the fact that just now he is
suffering from the results OF broken
ankle The matter OF the broken ankle
is story in itself. An irate farmer
came to Martins office to register a
kick upon the rural phone service, and
Mr.. Martin himself who met the farm
err in person in both verbal and a
physical encounter. The farmer was
mad-not angry-and heaped a torrent
of abuse upon Mr.. Martin. in the pres
ence and hearing of his half dozen
phone girls. Words flew high and
finally Mr.. Martin attempted to put
the farmer out. When the two reached
the stairway a terrific tussle ensued
and in the melee the genial telephone
president gave his ankle such a
wrench as to break it, in consequence
of which the automobile now works
overtime.
While making the rounds Of his tele-
phone gangs the thought struck him
that the manner of pulling wires thru
the underground conduits with wind
lass. as is generally done is an ex-
ceedingly slow method. After watch
ing the men at this laborious labor for |
a few minutes he called to the fore
man to hitch the draw wire to the
rear OF the automobile. The scheme
worked beautifully.
A short time ago this same auto was
used to furnish power for the phone
system in the city, while the battery
Of the latter was being repaired Mr. |
Martins methods are not patented and |
may be followed by any enterprising !,

the necessity for it come about.

Fair and Carnival planned.

Humboldt. Ia, July 1S.-There will
be no county fair held next fall by the
old association. which is considerably
behind in funds at the present, but a
number of Humboldts progressive
business men have decided to hold a
county fair and carnival combined,
next September which will put all other
celebrations of the kind held in this part
of Iowa In the shade. AS a starter,
5000 has been raised. The premiums
for displays will have q $500 guaran-
teed purse and this will probably be
added to. No amount of money and time
will be spared to make 1t a great show,
something that will give the people
continuous amusement. Horse races,
football games, gun tournaments, base
ball games, two of the best teams In
this part of Iowa will play every day,
athletic sports of all kinds and many
special features, will be some of the
attractions.
Should there be deficiency at the
close, a number of business men will
stand ready to make up any lack Of
funds, not over 5000.

MR.. STRUMpf'S CURE.

In Peoria, ILL.,, everybody konws Mr..

business takes him to New York City
frequently and on one OF these trips he
learned of a specific for the cure of
rheumatism, which he tred with such
unexpectedly good results that he is
anxious that others should know of it.
He says:

remedy for rheumatism, but during the
long years that I suffered from this dis
case never heard of but enc thing that
would cure 1t. tried 1t myself and
haven't had q touch Of rheumatism
since. In my case the disease did not
trouble me all the time, but at inter-
walls the pain was very severe and med
1cine did not seem to hsye the least
effect on 1t. On one OF my visits to
New York friend who had been cured
of rheumatism by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People advised me to try
them. He was SO enthusiastic that
did SO and the result surprised me, for
had almost despaired OF a permanent
cure. The pains began to disappear be-
fore had finished the first box and
three boxes completely cured me. That
was nearly two years ago, so you see
my cure was permanent. I recommend

ing has been uncomfortably crowded
for the past three years. AT a meet
ing of the school board it was decided
that new building was necessary.
Architect Robinson. of Cedar Falls,
who was consulted in regard to re-

gave it as his opinion that it would be
cheaper to raze the present structure
to the ground and use the material
in the construction of a modern and
capacious school building. There are
three school houses in the city and two
of the buildings have been crowded
beyond their capacity the last two
years.
