a student of the college of law, pre-
sented a petition to the city council
last night asking that he be exempt
from poll tax. In his petition lie stated
his reasons why he should be exempt
from labor as provided for in the city
ordinance. He says: II am a large
and fieshy man Weighing 200 pounds
and have been so since the summer of
1901 except during cold weather. Il was
particularly overcome by heat In 1894
and 1901, and since then do not dare to
do manual labor or indulge in any but
slight bodily exertion for fear of being
overpowered by the heat. / have suf-
fered with violent headaches and dizzy
spells this summer. My work S all in

that to labor in the sun would be to
endanger my life | am able to prove
the foregoing statements. In witness
whereof have hereto affixed my sig
nature. The same was sworn to before
Henry Gegus.
At the conclusion of the reading Of
the petition deathlike stiffness per-
vailed in the council chamber. 1t was
the lull before the storm. Then coun-
Gilman Moon suggested that the petit
toner be allowed to work under a tree.
The council finally decided to allow Mr..
'Emmons TO work out his poll tax in the
winter by shoveling snow.

THAT the boys death had been caused

The Fittit home is near lake, to
which hunters from the surrounding
country come in quest OF game. 1t is
supposed that Richard had walked to

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Sept 1.-THE filing of a
deed today by l.. f. Armstrong, Of this
city, to the Plymouth Gypsum Com
pany marks the initial step toward the
construction of the largest independent
gypsum mill in the world. The deed
calls for thirty-two acres of land lying
d half mile south of the city limits, and
the amount involved IS $4,000. 1t Is
the largest amount called for by any
Geed filed by an individual so far this
year in Webster county.
The Plymouth Gypsum Company as
recently formed is corporation COM
posed of home capitalists. The capital
stock of the concern is 100000. The
president of the corporation, Mr.. L. E.
Armstrong, has been vestigating the
land for the past two years and is pos
Tive that 1t is underlai1 with an mex
haustlbie supply of gypsum rock. The
new company expects To be able to be-
gin operations in the way of Inanufac-
turing stucco by February of next
year. The necessary side tracks from
the main line of the illinois Central
road to the site of the new mill are
now being laid and the material for the
mill will begin to arrive in few days.
The company will spare no money to
make the mill the most modern in ex-
istence. The main building will be
seventy by 210 feet. The capacity will
be from 400 to 500 tons every twenty
four hours. A force Of ninety men will
be employed. The veia of gypsum
rock varies from twenty to twenty
eight feet in thickness and is found at
o depth of from f1fty-nine to sixty six
feet below the surface. 1t is regarded
as the deepest rock in this vicinity
The process of mining will be followed
the same as that used by the other
eight mills in operation adjacent to
the city. The main shaft will be seven
and a half by sixteen feet. The fact
that the company Is in no way con-
nected with any trust or combine is
regarded as significant.
