Webster City. Feb. 15.-The biggest
surprise in the newspaper field which
has occurred in Webster City in many
years happened Saturday evening

Company to local capitalists. OF the

talized. Mr. HELEN now owns $4,000.
The remaining $4,000 is owned by To-
cal capitalists.
Mr.. futile probably will go west,
where he may locate. Long confine-
ment In the newspaper business for ten
years has somewhat impaired his
health. Mr.. futile took the Journal in
its infancy and has built it up to its
present standing.
This trade clears the newspaper at
mosphere in this city most decidedly.
Mr.. HELEN, who now owns the Journal,
Is in no wise interested in the Free
Tribune. The stockholders OF each
paper are different men, and the lines
of demarcation between them are now
clearly drawn. Mr.. HELEN has with
drawn his suit against the Freeman
Tribune, in which ne had attempted to
make that company open its Golfers
for the purpose Of paying dividends.

Fire Chief Messner. OF this city, when
asked why Iowa City did not bid for the

We do not want the tournament
under any consideration. Not that
Iowa City is too small u place in which
to entertain the boys. because we are
plenty big enough for that, but the
money necessary Is not forthcoming.
The people OF this city refuse to dig
up. and the tournament Is of such mag
nitude that It takes coin TO show the
boys THE right kind of time. It isn't
that we would not like to have the
tournament mere. but because we can't
afford 1t. Des Moines is slow in ex-
tending the glad hand because the
FUNDS necessary are probably not in
