TESTS OF KING DRAG MADE
Linn Street is Selected for a Practical
Demonstration of tho Work-Larse
Crowd Attends Saturday Meeting,
Every Township Of County Being
Represented.

Despite the adverse weather condi-
tons an enthusiastic crowd of 200
or more gathered in the east court
room Saturday afternoon and for more
lace expound the gospel of good roads.
Every one of the townships was repre-
scented by trustees or delegates and
the number Of prominent men from the
more distant parts Of the county was
noticeably large. After the lecture an
experience meeting was held in which
it was discovered that a drag similar
to the King drag had been in use In
LeGrand township for nearly fourteen
years, and everyone who had used such
drag or had seen one used was en-
thusiastic in its support. There were
u few friends Of the road grader who
had something to say, however. The
practical demonstration on Linn street
was witnessed by nearly the entire
crowd and was decided success.
The speaker who was introduced by
Mayor Ingledue. began his remarks
with the statement that all classes are
vitality interested in good roads. The
farmer that he may conveniently get
his produce to market. the business
man because good roads leading to
his town bring him outside customers
that he would not otherwise get, and
the railroad companies, each of which

possible traffic from the towns along

100000 annually levied and spent In
the state for road tax were entirely in
adequate asserted that the building OF
stone roads is out of the question at
present owing to the great expense Of
building and maintaining them, and
said that method had been evolved
whereby a first class road might be
made at trifling expense.
Mr.. Wallace then detailed the theory
of good road building. He said the
chief object was the expulsion Of all
vegetable matter from road dirt, crea-
ting conditions the direct opposite of
the requirements for cultivated field.

RUNS ONE NIGHT LONGER.
Base Ball Carnival Will be Continued
Tonight at Finklc's Hall.

Owing to the bad weather of last
week, which interfered with the base
ball carnival at Finkle's hall, the COM
mittee in charge of the carnival has
decided to continue it for one night
longer and this evening will end the
carnival for this year. The carnival,
owing to number of reasons, prin-
cipal among which has been the rainy
weather, has not proved the success
that it did year ago. In case the
crowd tonight is good about $500 will
probably be cleared above all ex-
penses.

| Warmers men halved the honors
with Ottumwa in the first two games
of the series on the latter's grounds
Saturday and yesterday by winning
the first handily, to 5, then dropping
the second by costly errors and mis-
plays by the score Of 8 to l. The
Grays close the series today, and move
on to Oskaloosa, where they open a
series Wednesday.
Barring the first two innings Of yes
terdays game the battle was an even
one, but during those two initial
rounds the Grays made enough errors
and misplays to put Ottumwa six in
the lead, and the handicap was too
great to be overcome. MIR. T. Greene
was designated to pitch the second of
the series, but while he pitched a good
game his support blew up SO early in
the game that it queered his efforts
and beat the team. After the team
settled down Ottumwa never again
had chance to score. The Grays
crossed the plate but once, and that
was in the eighth inning. The score
