VISITED CHICAGO.

After visit to Chicago the editor
of the Hopkinton Leader gives the
following write up of the town :
"Chicago seems to be mighty big
town-bigger than Hopkinton by
several times, and is composed Of a
conglomeration of tall buildings,
dirty streets, SCOT and people. In
conversation with some of the towns
leading citizens it is learned that
while Chicago has never enjoyed a
boom like St. Louis and Water loo, it
has had steady growth that has made
it a commercial center of considerable
Importance. 1t is a division point
on the Milwaukee railroad, and that
of course means the employment of
hundreds of hired hands, who get
paid off every. month and spend their
money in the stores, making business
very lively on pay days. There are
several other roads running into the
town, affording opportunity for the
traveller to get out in short time
after his money is spent. 1t is for
tunate for both the city and the visi
tor that the facilities for getting out
of town are so good, for Chicago ha
no use for a man after his money il
gone.'

WILL DECIDE THE CONTEST.

!. HI. Anundson, a prominent lum-
Der merchant of Mason City, is the
representative of Congressman Haug-
en-, who will undoubtedly have the
decision as to who is to have charge
of the Charles City postof',e during
the next four years. Mr.. Anundson
was in Charles City last week and
listened to the claims of the various
candidates and their friends. Those
who aspire to the office and who pre-
sented claims for the position to him
were. Miss Jessie feeling, w. F.
Miles, Mr.. Werder and Mr.. l.. III.
Henry. The most serious opposition
seems to have developed against
Henry. Most of the friends of the
other candidates declared if theiI
Especial favorite could not win they
Awould be satisfied with any one ex'
,epting Mr.. Henry. Mr.. Henry,
however, had some influential friends
pleading in his behalf, and it IL
claimed he has a strong influence,
Mr.. Anundson would not give out the
least inkling as to the probable result
If the contest but the likelihood II
that it will be settled in few days

AN OLD COUNTRY TEACHER.

@. II. Smith, who is teaching in
the Douglas school southwest of town,
had visitor at this school last week
in the person of Orrin Haight of Ritz
vile, Washington, whom he was most

Haight was a pupil, and Mr.. Smith

HIS MONEY GONE.

Jacob Gardener, farmer residing
near Marble Rock, was the victim of
fixed" foot race, pulled off at Clin-
ton few days ago, and was swindled
out of $1,000, as he alleges by two
men named Sherman and Morgan. The
grand jury was summoned in special
session AT once and gang which has
been operating there for the past
several months, robbing, it is alleged,
scores of victims by fraudulent fights
and foot races, departed for parts un-
known. The identity of the men has
never been established. They came
to Clinton several months ago and
fitted up elegant apartments and lived
life of luxury.

ANOTHER SHELL,INDUSTRY.

We have again been permitted to
examine some rof those fancy watch
chains and ornaments manufactured
by Mr.. Nose Verdon, foreman in the
Capoli Button Works, and to say that
they are beautiful but poorly ex-

far been unable to keep up with the
demand for these articles made from
the Mississippi clam shells, and it

see a factory started Y ere soon for the

A MONEY MAKING CONTEST.

The piano voting contest at Web
ster City was won by the Elk's lodge.
There were cast 1850, 900 votes and
the Elks had majority over the Mac
cabees of 1873, 1888. 1t is estimated
that the votes represent the expendi-
ture of $205, 900 in seven months at
the nineteen stores in Webster City,
where the coupons were given. AS a
business venture the contest seems to
have proven a success. The piano
and Angelus which went with it were
valued at $780,

LOVE AND WAR.

The most effective and popular
drama ever written by an American
author is to be presented this evening
at the Orpheum by the Ellefords.
Shenandoah is the name of the pro.
auction, Bronson Howard the author.
Love and war, seasoned with patri'
otism, furnish the themes for the play,
combination which explains the
popularity of the production. The war
scenes, eliminating with Sheridan's
deathless ride to Cedar Creek in time
u change the rout of the Union army
into a victory, are produced in vivid
detail, Sheridan, horse, stage full of eX-
cited soldiery, correct scenery and all.
The love scenes are daintily handled
and the play has plenty of humor here
and there. 1t is pet production of
the Elleiord management, who may
well feel proud of their efforts, having
been publicly thanked by Bronson
Howard himself at a recent perform
ancc.
