The statements made in the
GAzETTE's editorial of August
nth, under the caption ga Po-
litical Document are self.evi-
dent and need no argument to
support them. The Times ad-
mits them, but offers as an ex-
cuse that the utterances Of the
GAzErTE-regarding the fnan-
cial condition of the county Just
prior to the time when Judge
Woodward went into Office and
at various periods during his ad-
ministration, as shown by the
semi-annual reports of the ceun-
fty oficers-'shave been widely
accepted. !" The GAZETTE ap-
preciates the compliment. 1t
feels that it deserves the conf
dence of the people of this
county, for it has always tried to
be truthful and conscientious in

In its Issue of March 18, 1909,
the TIMES said: ssWhen the
present administration took up
the reins of county government
last July (Ioo2), the amount of
warrants outstanding was $I8,-
542.82. Included in these were
a few warrants for which a call
had seen made, reducing the ag-

standing county warrants was
$6, 774.3 38. On March 81, 1902,
the estimated accrued interest on
outstanding county warrants was
500.
According to this report
compiled by Clerk Moses, for
which the court ordered that he
be paid $1o, the actual indebted
ness at the beginning of Judge
Waters administration was $22, :
oo6. 90, and the tho expenses of
the county during his first year
of Office were $27,48I.5o. If
we accept this statement to be
correct, Judge Waters must
have raised revenue equal to the
total of these sums in order to
cancel them. That is, he must
have raised $5o,44S.4I. Where
did he get this money? His levy
of IS mills on a tax roll of
81, 5o7, los would yield, allow
ing the court the benefit of cen1-
plete collection of taxes and re-
bate, $37,6o6. 81. Taking the
figures of this report and COM
pairing them with facts, we find
that the present court paid off
$12,842.14 of Indebtedness
with hot air.

THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING.
Mr.. and Mrs. Seymour Cfipman Celebrate
the Fiftieth Anniversary of their
Wedding Day.

the Fiftieth Annive rSary OF their
Wedding Day.
In these days of domestic in
felicity and frequent recourse to
the divorce courts, it is a Fl a>
ure 10 be able to announce II, 4 a
couple have lived in wedlocl lor
| so years 1t is doubly pleasing
TO state that their married life
has been SO happy that the hflIeth
anniversary of its beginning can
be made the occasion of a joyful
celebration, in which hosts of
friends esteem it an honor to be
permitted to take part. Such a
pleasure is ours, and such an &C
casion was celebrated al the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. Chipman in
this city last Friday night.
| On August IA, 1858, Seymour
Chipnian led Miss Prudence
Maxon to the altar at Strawberry
Point, Clayton county, Iowa.
He was a youth of 20, and she
was two years his Junior. The
young couple had scarcely ended
their honeymoon when the great
war of the rebellion began, and
Mr.. Chapman went to the front
in defense of the Union. Hap
PLY this dread season ended, and
the couple were again united.
They have met 1ife's vicissitudes
and pleasures together, and are
now happy and contented, sur
rounded by their friends and en-
joying the ccmpanionship of
their children.
To Mr.. and Mr.. Chipman, two
sons and three daughters were
born. Of these, Mrs. F. L.
Miller is the, youngest, her age
being 41 years. Besides these
children, Mr.. and Mrs. Chapman
have 23 grandchildren and one
great-grand-child, all living. At
Friday nights reception their
son, Clarence, and Mrs. F. L. !
Miller, of this city, and Mrs.
Simpson, of Portland, were pres
ent. The oldest son, Charles, is
in California, and the Oldest
daughter resides at Gilmore City, !
Iowa.
During the hours of the re-
ception, from 3 to 10 p. m., over
$50 guests were entertained by
Mr.. and Mrs. Chipman. The
home was tastily decorated with
plants and vines, and sfestoons of |
bunting hung from the branches
of the trees on the lawn. Chi
nese lanterns were literally dis
tributed and these threw a mel
low light over the many tables
where lunch was served to all
guests.
Mr.. Chapman met his friends
at the door aud received them
with a hearty handshake and
word of welcome. They passed
into the par1or, where Mrs. Chip-
man, as active and light of heart
as a girl of sixteen, made known |
her pleasure at their presence.
Here all registered, and after par
taking of the contents of thei
punch bowl, presided over by
Mrs. Clarence Chipman, passed
out onto the lawn where they
were served with lunch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chapman were
The recipients of many handsome
presents. The Shriners, of
which Masonic body Mr.. Chip
man is member, presented him
and his wife with a beautiful
loving cup. Upon it was in
scribed the names of the donors,
S. L. Kline, H. w. Hall, w. E.
Yates, S. L. Hayes, Rev. Mac
Lean. S. N. Wilkins, T. H.
Crawford, Capt. Harding and J. |

made fitting response and each

the loving cur.

Leaves Case open.

According to the statement of some
of the members of the church this
morning the action taken last even
ing leaves the question of the reter-
ton of the pastor an open one.
1t is alleged that those who oppose
the retention of Rev. Hastie will at the
next regular business meeting revive
the question concerning the retention
of Rev. Hastie. that it may be again
considered for the purpose OF reaching
a decision as to the best policy to pur-
sue for the good of the church.
Will Not Leave Church.
Though the 'disscnters" believe that
they have good grounds for their con
tention. it is stated that they do not
contemplate pushing their claims to
such an extent as to cause a serious
disruption in the church nor is it their
purpose to refuse to acquiese in the
decision that shall be reached.

a FALSE REPORT.
No Word Received Here That Henry
Petram is Dead.

A report was current in South OF
tumwa this morning to the effect that
a telegram has been received in Of
tumwa announcing the death of Hen
ry Petram in California, where he and
his family reside. Mr.. Petram left
South Ottumwa only short time ago
and is well known there and on the
North Side, and considerable uneasi.
ness was felt among his friends in this
city. A representative of the Courier
called upon Mr.. Petram's sister, Mrs,
John Mitchell, who resides on Finley
avenue in South Ottumwa, but she
stated that she had received no word
to the effect that her brother is any
thing but in good health and spirits.
She received letter from the PeJram
family yesterday, saying that all were
well and enjoying life in California.

had some sort of Office room in the
capitol to attend to the many matters
that came before him each day. His
desk in the house was piled high with
personal communications at the time
and gave ample reason for such a de-
sire. Such is the case with
about $50 other congressman. OF the
whole number only fifty-two have office
room in the capitol, and they, only by
virtue of being chairmen of commit
tees. This is undoubtedly one reas-
on why Congressman Cannon's bill for
a new Office building to be connected
on the house side of the capitol met
with such a favor. The senate has
large building nearby in which many
senators have Offices who are unable
| to secure room in the capitol, but the
quarters. The Office as described by
Mr.. Cannon (Which description was re-
| ceived with applause in the house,)
will cost about S4,000.000 including the
site, and is to be three stories in
height. 1t will have basement and
endorsement and subway connect
ing it with the capitol. 1t will contain
about 10000 feet of floor space and
from 324 to 400 rooms. In connection
with the Office building Mr.Cannon al
SO provides for improvements 70 the
capitol which We're mentioned in this
column some time ago. For this 81
100000 is appropriated which is to be
used for extending the west front of
the capitol. The extension would pro-
vide sixty-six additional rooms for the
use of the senate. house and supreme
court. 1t is thought. the work, if au-
thorized might be completed in three
years. Some do not want the supreme
court provided for in the extension of
the capitol but desire a new building
that will be monument to the country
and to this august body.
Major Rathbun, publisher of the
Marion Register, is spending several
days in Washington Mr.. Rathbun is
a regular visitor to the capital city.
He always stays at the National hotel
which was the first place at which he
ever stopped in Washington. At the
National they save particular room
for the major, and if it is occupied
when he arrives they vacate it. The
major has little to say about the Iowa
idea and was seen walking rapidly
through the capitol arm in arm with
Senator Deliver.
