LOOK OUT FOR CRAFTS.

People in this vicinity are warned
to look out for grafters who have been
operating in and near Webster City.
The scheme was to sell can of very
superior" baking powder for fifty
cents and to give as a bonus life-sizo
picture of the lady of the house or
some member of her family. Then, if
possible, the lady was coaxed into
having the picture colored, fifty cents
more, and then framed for fifty cents
or dollar more. The baking powder
was delivered at once and the pic
lures we're to be sent along as soon as
they were fnised. A few days ago
the pictures came and then the howl
went up. The pictures are merely
outlines taken from q photograph and
enlarged. There is nothing but the
mere outline and the pictures are
worthless, but the agent has gone and
the good hard dollars of the people
have gone with him. Webster City

Aiming to put an end to indiscrimi-

signed an agreement to refuse to enter
tain all such solicitations during

some such concerted action as this was
deemed advisable and has met with
universal endorsement. The following
agreement is posted on card in the
business place or Office of every one
signing the compact. with the heading (:

A couple of Wsverly young men
who recently set out upon cheap trip
to California arrived at their destina-
ton without having spent a cent for
their passage. 1t is said, however,
that events are transporting which, in
the end, will make their journey more
expensive than if they had travelled
on the "Sunset Limited" and enjoyed
dining and sleeping car entertainment
enroute. The lads in question made
the trip in refrigerator car loaded
with canned corn and destined for San
Jose. Previous to slowing themselves
away therein, they bored holes in the
roof for ventilation and sawed hole
through the floor for sanitary purposes,
besides making alterations that per-
mitted them a mode of ingress and
egress. When the car reached it's des-
tination its condition was reported
back to the company on whose road it
originated. AS a consequence the de-
tective of that company was in Waver-

effort is on foot to apprehend and
