Reach of All-splendid Collection OF
1000 Pictures Representing the
Works Of 700 Artists.

From Tuesdays Daily.
"While there are only a few who can
afford to purchase the original pro-
auctions Of the great masters, it Is
possible for us all to have an art gal

much pleasure from the study Of the
pictures as if they represented an out
lay Of thousands of dollars" said DR..

ture at the First Baptist church last
evening. He spoke on What Artists
Have Done to Express Art" and at the
close of his talk those present were
given an opportunity to enjoy 1000 pic
lures on display in the Sunday school
room.
DR.. MacM1nn is a pleasing speaker,
an enthusiastic collector Of works of
art and. held the closest attention of
his hearers through his entertaining
and instructive discourse. He said
that one object Of the lecture was to
interest all in making a collection of
pictures. an art gallery being within
the reach Of everyone. Many of the
magazines contain reproductions of the
work of the best artists of the day and
these pictures If mounted on suitable
material can be preserved and studied
with pleasure and profit during leisure
moments.
A Splendid Collection.
DR.. MacMnin's collection comprises
about 1000 pictures representing the
works of about 700 artists Of all
schools. The subjects are religious,
historical, idealistic, only nj class Of
art being unrepresented, the un.
adorned. In his lecture he used sev
eral pictures as illustrations showing
the difference of various artists in ex'
pressing the same idea and comparing
the works of the ancient Italian,
Egyptian and Babylonian artists with
those of modern painters.

SHIPPER ASKS $4,000.
Suit In District Court at BIoomfieId-
ottumwa Doctors Present.

Bloomfield, Jan. "a. The only case
on trial in the present term Of dis
trict court to which more than local
interest is attached is the suit of F. ].
Burrows against the G. B. & @. rail
way for $4,000 for personal injuries
claimed to have been received by him
at Donnelson in November 1908, by the
train coming back with unusual force
in making a coupling.
Burrows was a shipper of stock
which he was accompanying to Chica-
go. He was attempting to leave the
car, while it vas standing on the track
to see the stock, when the coupling
was made. He was thrown with VIC
lence against a seat and claims to have
been badly injured.
The company claims that the coup
ling was not an unusual one, but such
as any passenger on a freight train
might and should expect and that it
was not therefore liable, insisting that
a different rule as to care for passen-
gers on a freight train was applicable
from that necessary on a regular pas
senger. Alsott that Burrows was guilty
of negligence in attempting to leave
the car at the time.
Burrows claims that he was told by
the conductor that he would have am
pie time to go out and see his stock
and wa not therefore guilty of any
negligence in attempting to do so. 1t
Is On these points and the extent of
the injuries that the case is being
fought. The railroad company claims
that Burrows has %variocele, which ac-
counts for his condition and that this
has been of long standing and was not
caused by the injury
An unusual array of medical talent
is being examined on the question. DR..
Ruth Of Keoklk and Drs. Williams,
Herrick and Elerick of Ottumwa, be-
ing importantly witnesses in addition to
local physicians.
The contest is a hot one and bids
fair to be ono of the most bitterly
fought cases tried in this court for
some time. The case opened before
Judge Eichelberger a week ago last
Thursday and witnesses are still Civ.
ing testimony and will continue to do
SO for some days yet. The testimony
will not be all in before the middle OF
this week and several days after that
will be taken up in pleading causes.
The attorneys for the defense are:
Trimble & TTimble OF Keokuk, S. S,
Carruthers and Henry G. Taylor. The
case is being prosecuted by Payne &

With an excellent lot Of chunks,

last evening, went the fruits Of w. P.

tween Main and Second on Washing.
ton street, was attended by fully 1000
people and traffic In that district was
almost blocked the entire day.
The outcome Of w. p. Halls visit to
this city brought out the fact that he
will soon retire from the horse buying
business and enter that Of the circus,
having just recently purchased the
Walter L. Main big show. He has
possession Of the Main circus property
and will operate the show during the
coming season When 1t returns to
the winter quarters in Geneva, Ohio,
MI. Hall will resume his horse buying.
The following from Geneva tells
more concerning the purchase Of the
Main circus by Mr.. Hall:
Walter l.. Main announced this ev.
ening that ideal had been closed
whereby w. P. Hall, Of Lancaster, Mo-,
became the owner Of the Main circus
property, possession being given at
once. The consideration named was
100000. The sale includes all Of the
circus property, with the exception
Of horses, which will be returned to the
Hagenbacks, animal dealers Of New
York, and the large brick building
OF the winter quarters here, which
will remain the property Of Mr.. Main.
The latter expects to spend the coming
year In Geneva and Cleveland, rest
ing up after twenty-five years of circus
life.
a.Mr. Hall. the new owner. is cred
tied with being the largest horse
buyer In the United States, having
imported steeds for all of the big
circuses for years past. He owns a

barns providing about twelve acres of
storage room. The name Of Main
will still be connected. but Hall will

When approached by a Courier rep
resentative yesterday Mr.. Hall said
that next summer, Ottumwa would be
visited by him. He stated that the
Hagenback horses did not suit him and
that he would add to his show some of
the finest horses obtainable in the
world. His vast experience in the
horse business will doubtless be adj
mirably shown here next summer in
this department of his circus.

however, that 1t will be werded just
as the committee would have. a meas.

kuk people and the friends OF the wa

elsewhere as a triumph and ways and
means will begin at once to be dis.
cussed and acquired to accept and util.
lie the privileges granted.
1t is thought that the question will
come before the congressional COM
mittee at a meeting today, when the
matter will probably be settled as to
what action the committee will report,
