City Library.

II IllSlC 10 etily OIlC lining III
our city which every citizen
should be proud of it is our city
library. The organization of
the entire library belongs to
the ladies of the Valley. In an
early day quite a number of
the ladies felt the need of some
public institution, educational
in form and object, for our
young people, and this matter
took form in an effort to secure
sufficient means to open a IL
brary.
The first effort was a failure,
not on the part of the ladies,
but from other causes not now
necessary to discuss. In after
years another effort was made,
and this time a partial success
was the result, but not having
means sufficient to equip and
care for public library, the
ladies hired a room and each
took turn in caring for the
library, but as the only revenue
accessible was the rent of
books, which was very limited,
on May II, 1881, d. M. Harris,
Mrs. Anna Schultz, Mrs. j. F.
Marsh, M. Holbrook and Mrs.
M. L. Hubbard proceeded to
legally incorporate said library,
and up to 1899 the same was
more a work of charity than
|otherwise.
The city council, after sever
al years, relieved the associa-
ton OF rent by permitting them
to occupy a room in the city
building free of charge, which
is now known as library room.
The next move in the history
of the city library was to trans
fer the same to the city, which
was accepted by the city vote
in 1899, but did not finally
pass into the city's hands until
August, 1899. The first trus-
tees under the city organiza-
ton was as follows: Mrs. Mary
A. Boies, Mrs. G.. G.. Lahman,
Mrs. Clara A. Davis, Mrs. A.
Bachrach, VIM. Fensler, H. N.
Warren, c. w. Kellogg, Mrs. B.
j. Moore, Mrs. Nellie G.. Hills,
C. H. Deur H. II. Dickman,G Geo.
P. Smiley, B. w. Carlisle, and
w. H. Fensler president and
Mrs. Graybill librarian.
Mrs. Clara A. Davis, secre-
tary, has been for the past ten
days rearranging the books,
numbering the same, and put
ting the library in order for
which she and her assistants,
Mrs. Mary Boies and Mrs. G. c..
Lahman, deserve the thanks of
the city.
By the catalog it is found
that the library contains about
$500 volumes of books, together
with many magazines, pamph-
let's, ETC.: and now we have
one of the incest little libraries
in Western Iowa, we'll filled
with good books, tables, shelves
and other conveniences.
The city council this spring
repalnted and repapered the
room, and now only lacks city
heat and we hope to see it put
in at an early date, which would
materially add to the conven-
fence and cleanliness of the Ii
brary room at a nominal cost.
And one other matter is
called to the attention Of the
city council. The city election
and general election is being
yearly held in the library room,
which is a wrong to the same.
With 5000 volumes Of valuable
books in the room with no per-
son to guard and protect the
same, is a wrong that should be
corrected, and the council room
be substituted for such pur-
pose. And with thanks to Mrs.
Davis for her valuable assist
ance, with the other ladies who
assisted in the work, the library

Shoot Seven Men.

Atlanta, Ga, June pa special
10 the Journal from Watkinsyille,
Georgia. says:
Six negroes and white man were
lynched by a mob here between = and
, clock this morning.
They were in Jail charged with as
saulting Mrs. Weldon Dooley, the
wife of prosperous farmer living
near here.
The report says that a white man
was also killed.
Nine men were carried to the scene
of the lynching but one miraculously
escaped death by falling to the ground
when the volley was fired and feign-
ing to be dead escaped.
The prisoners were marched to a
corner lot within 25O yards of the
Jail, and within the heart of the town
and were bound to fence with their
hands behind them.
At A command by the leader the
mob stepped back a few, PAGES, took
deliberate aim and fired yolloy
from rifles. shotguns and pistols into
the line of prisoners. Every man
in front of the mob fell at the first
yolley.
Within a moment or two after the
execution the mob was no where in
evidence. The strength of the mob
mas been variously estimated. The
taller declares that there were many
armed men. all wearing masks, who
appeared suddenly at the Jail door.
He says that it useless for him to re-
sist as their manner and numbers IN
dicated that a parley meant death to
himself. He delivered the keys to
tho mob, believing that it was better
to do so than to resist. which he was
told would result in dynamiting tn,
prison. The work was so quietly
done that the citizens of the tow
knew nothing of it until aroused b.
the volley of shots.
