must be remembered that on each
journey the bird has the added work
OF catching an insect. Even so tiny
bird as the wren has been counted to
make 40 trips to and from It's nest
within 430 minutes, and the prey 1t
carried home consisted of insects
much larger and heavier than were
caught by swallows.

OFFERS HOSPITAL
Webster City. Iowa, Has Ore
That Woodn,an Society
Can Have.
DEDICATED TO THE SOCIETY
On Condition u Maintains Institution
Proposition TO Head
Consul.

j. ID. Porter. OF webster City, iowa,
was before the head counseI OF the
Modern Woodman order this morning
in advocacy Of an appropriation for
the maintenance i'm his home town OF
hospital dedicated TO the society.
The question Of a woodman hospi-
tai Is not n new one. IL has been dis
cussed at different periods OF the SO
ciety's existence. and has met with
favor in some portions OF the jurisdic-
ton. but the administration has never
been impressed with the practicabiiity
OF such an institution. for the reason
that there would be opened up a ques-
ton regarding the worthiness of ap-
pIicants that would develop features
that might involve the society TO al
embarrassing extent
Can Have 10 for Asking.
Out in Webster City there is a hos
pital that was built by a philanthro-
pist of that town. who made the pro-
vision in his will. The grounds and
buildings cost about $4,000. The es-
adjustment OF the hospital was on
condition that IL be maintained by the
Methodists of the state They have
carried IL along as well as they have
been able to-. but the last year there
was n deficit of $500. and the church
people are DESTROYS OF releasing them
selves from their obligation Mr.. Por-
ter has assurances that the hospital
would be turned over to- the society
II il agreed To- assume the support of
II. His idea would be for the society
TO employ a superintendent and such
assistants as were needed. and open
the hospital TO members Of the society
throughout the jurisdiction who are
sick or MANNED and without means to
care for themselves. Mr.. Porter's
proposition has been taken under con-
sideration by the head counsel. but ii
Is hardly probable that they will make
any favorable recommendation
Each Camp Cares for Own.
The principle that has been followed
by the Woodman society is for each
camp To- look out for its own members
II one is sick. or in need. he can turn
to- his feIlow-members. and they new
or fail to- extend him a helping hand.
II they are not able to afford required
aid. they call on camps in their imme-
diafe locality IL would be cheaper for
the society. II Is pointed out, IL IL
were TO assume to- look after tire des-
titute sick of the jurisdiction. to place
the member afflicted in a hospital in
the city OF his residence than to pay
for his transportation to an institu-
ton in some remote city.
But II is believed that some day the
society will establish a hospital-not
for the manned or temporarily afiiict-
ed. but for consumptives-

we have more good people than bad.

few minutes and did not close on the
midnight hour, there went up howls
that resounded through the hills and
valleys and mountains from one end
of our state to the other. and | reckon
you got reports up this far. There was
the cry of corruption, and the people
became aroused. A certain element
that had been defeated at the polls
was responsible for the agitation.
There was a demand for the resigna-
ton of the chief of police, but 1t was
not backed by public sentiment. Final
ly, the city council. to momentarily APP
pease the howlers, advised the chief
of police to surrender. His name IL

John presented his resignation. Ii
was accepted. Then the mayor told

filling of the vacancy at the head of
the police department. One alderman
arose and presented the name of John

and the people, the masses, not the
kickers, said amen. That is the way
we do things down in Memphis
"Then the disgruntled element start
ed a newspaper. putting 100000 into
the plant. They proceeded to tear the
city wide open. They did cause some
heartaches by prying into the personal
affairs OF the prominent men, and they
showed up the saloons and gambling
houses, but were not supported by pub
lie sentiment, and after the novelty OF
their sensationalism wore OF. they be-
gan to fall back, and they were forced
to give up the ship. The newspaper
plant was sold for a little over half

HOW THEY Do IN MEMPHIS:

Henry James Discusses Municipal
Troubles and Resignation Of
Police Chief.

Henry James. of Memphis, Tenn, a
leading wagon manufacturer of the
south, is in the city, the guest of w. A.
Rosenfield. president of the Moline
Wagon company. Mr.. James and Mr..
Rosenfield met in Chicago while they
were both there on business, and the
former came here to visit for few
days before going on TO Nashotah,
Wis, where he has a daughter in
school, and whom he is to accompany
home TO spend the Christmas season.
Down in Memphis they have been hav-
ing an interesting time IN municipal
politics, as those who follow the press
dispatches will remember. Mr.. James
was not in sympathy with the element
that was seeking to make scapegoats
out of the administration in power.
Memphis. he said, is not unlike any
other city of it's size in the world.

own a hotel in Peoria Ii will be the
finest they at present manage. Tom
Webb is TO build the hotel in Peoria.
Messrs- Montrose and McHugh have
come to an agreement with Webb and
have agreed TO take twothirds of the
new hotel. the company 10 lease the
lot for 80 years on valuation of per
cent. The lot is ~ feet on South Ad-
ans street and runs back to the alley
on Harrison. On this spot a structure
eight stories in height and containing
$50 rooms will be erected. 1t will be
fire-proof from cellar TO roof and will
be put up with all the elaboration of
detail that Mr.. Webb has shown in
constructing the Lud-a Rathskeller in
the basement and the best furnishings
that money can procure. Messrs. Mont
rose and McHugh have a number of
hotels under their control. They are
just building a new one in Cedar Rap
ids. which will be opened in a few
months.
They have long wanted a first-class
hotel in Peoria. and they have felt that
they would much prefer to put their
money in a new hotel than to refit the
National. Their lease. however. on the
National does not run out for four
years. This will give them plenty of
time to build the Cid, that is to be the
home of the Peoria house-to thorough
iy equip it and to get it running in good
shape. Mr.. Webb does not care to
run the hotel himself. and when Mes
srs. Montrose and McHugh offered to
take two-thirds of the stock. he acceded
to their wish. The details have been
mary papers will be drawn at once.
The new hotel will be faced with white
porcelain and will be a great ornament
to South Adams street and to the en-

be in the neighborhood of 100000 but
the parties do not intend to be deter

adjustment superior to anything thus
