Mr. Reid one of the directors of the
United States Steel Corporation, was walk

after the dividend meeting, when the two
were joined by a mutual friend. The latter
was curious about the current rumors re-
garding steel.

general impression that the reduction Of
the dividend was prearranged.

Handkerchiefs and Mufflers.

MuffIers form important adjunct to
evening clothes this season. The gentle-
mans muffler is the thirty-slx-inch affair,
unstitched and unlined. Black and white,

Waisteoats and Ties.
Ties for evening wear are. as usual Sc
verely simple. Broad or pointed ends are
correct, the latter being something of an
innovation. Going into measurements

Waistcoats for formal or semi formal
wear are of washable linen and have pearl
buttons or buttons covered with the same
cloth as the waistcoat. There are many

Favors Steps to Purify City.

In his sermon Sunday Rev. Father
Hoppman told of the sin of Adam. and
Eve in the garden of Eden and the
retribution that was their lot; of the
sins of their descendants and their
humiliation when Noah and his chill
dren and grandchildren were the only
human souls saved from the deluge
In speaking of the vice that reigned
in Sodom and Gomorrah when that
city. together with its inhabitants were
wiped from the face of the earth in
the shower of hail and birthstone, he
brought out that the vice that ther
brough men and women to destruction
should be suppressed. and that in this
enlightened age chastity should be the
ruling virtue, and that all possible
steps should be taken to purify this
city from the taints of sin and degra
dation.

city council led to his nomination for
the office of alderman at the recent
ward primary.
w. E. Cook.
w. e. Cook, candidate for alderman
from the sixth ward, is one OF tbs
standbys of the republican party OF
Ottumwa and Wapello county. Having
been resident for the past ten years,
he is not only known to the people
of his precinct, but has a wide &C.
qnaintance throughout the city. Mr..
Cook was born in Lyons, Iowa, in
1851, where his youth and early man.
hood was spent About fifteen years
ago Mr.. Cook came to Ottumwa and
during the years since that time he
has been resident of this city. For
the past ten years MIR. Cook has been
in the contracting business in this city
and his years of experience and mark
ed ability has brought him into promi-
nence in his line of work. BY the ma
ture of his business, Mr. Cook has
been associated with the mechanics ot
this city and his dealings with them
has always been entirely satisfactory.
Since the advent of the labor organiza-
ton movement among the mechanics
of this city Mr.. Cook has been loya
| supporter of this cause and has always
shown willingness to confer with the
men in his employ as to their needs.
| Two years ago the republicans nCmi-
mated him as candidate for alderman
| from the sixth ward. That they have
not lost any of their former confidence
i is shown from the fact that they have
again selected him as their represent
alive for the city campaign this year
w. S. Humphrey.
Il w. S. Humphrey, who was chosen by
the republicans vi the seventh ward to
represent them for the ensuing two
! years in the council, was born in New

and spent his early youth with his par
ents in Ohio. The family moved to
Iowa when Mr.. Humphrey was a young
, man and settled in Wayne county
At this time Mr.. Humphrey had his
f first experience in the grocery bust
ness, when he secured a position as
clerk in a general store, continuing in
this capacity for four years. In 1883
he left the country store to take the
> position of transfer clerk for the Rocl
: Island railway at Eldon. He contin
ued in this capacity until 1888, wher
, he went to ST Joseph, Mo, to accept
. the position of messenger for the
> United States Express Co., which
position he held until 1893. in which
year he moved with his family to Soutl
y Ottumwa and engaged in the grocer,
: business. Mr. Humphrey has conduct
? ed his business in this city with more
= than ordinary success for the past tel

FAyORS POLICY OF SEGREGATION
Rector of st. Marys Catholic Church
From Pulpit Scores City Administra-
ton for Giving Vice the Official
Stamp of Approval.

'If almighty God did not let his mer-
cy for men rule, fear that Ottumwa
would share the same fate that was
melted out to Sodom and Gomorrah,"
said Very Rev Father F. w. Hoppman,
rector of ST. Mary's Catholic church,
Sunday morning in a stirring sermon,
in which the state of vice and corrup-
ton that exists in this city today was
condemned and the city officials ar
raigned for permitting it. The sermon
dealt with the sinful state that existed
in Old Testament times and the devas-
tation that followed in its wake; of
the destruction of Sodom and Gomor-
rah and all their inhabitants with hail
and birthstone, when not one righteous
man, save Lot, was found in the city.
When interviewed this morning by a
Courier reporter regarding the sermon
Sunday. Rev. Father Hoppman said:
"It must bring blush of shame to the
faces of good citizens. honest men and
virtuous women to be compelled to
pass the houses of i'll repute on the
principal streets of the city, and to be
forced to mingle with the inmates OF
these houses on the streets. heartily
