Building a Separate Home Seems
Somewhat Doubtful.

Special to Times Republican
Mason City, Nov. 1.--Grand Master
Snyder, of Marion, Trustees Johnson,
Of Bloomfield, Sharts, OF Davenport
and Crossley, of Mason City, chairman
ex- offtcio and members OF the Odd
Fellows Orphans home board are in
the city planning for the erection of
the new home. Little OF the detail
architects are here also In consultation
with the board and are submitting
plans. From the statement of the
members the old plan Of construction
will not be followed. The foundat ION
which remains Is not tit to place a
building upon and Ii the old plan is
followed a new foundation will have to
be laid. The construction has been
faulty. A blow of hammer upon the
wall as 1t stands resounds as though
the structure was hollow.
The board has agreed so far that the
heating plant will be placed in a sep
structure. The school room instead of
being In the main building will also
be separate. This much has been de-
termined upon That the building will
be built larger may he. doubtful unless
more money Is obtainable. The $4,000
which the g. and lodge placed at the
disposal of the board will be consumed
In the erection of building the size
OF the old one, making it fire proof
throughout. The architects make this
estimate, 50 IL a large building Is built
more money must come The old ma
terial, such as brick, ETC.. which was
believed could be used will have to be
discarded, unless 1t can be placed in
the heating plant or school building.
The architects say that 1t is off color
and will not in years and perhaps new
er conform In color to the new mater
ial used. For this reason 1t may all
be discarded as the trustees are de-
termined on beautiful structure so
far as money and plans will make it.
No effort at definite conclusion
will be reached till toward spring. 9th
err architects will be asked to send
plans and a thorough investigation OIL
the details made before brick will be
laid. The broken brick on the grounds
may be used, If ground. Tor filing to
aid in the fire proof material. In this
particular 1t is believed it will be as
good as crushed stone.
There is doubt that an old folks
home will ever be built. AT present
only ten age1 wards are in the care OF
tho home and not an application pres
ent from any part of the state. Chill
dren are offered but no indigents. 1t
Is the opinion OF many that the num- i.
Der of indigents will decrease rather
than increase and another home
would be an expense avoided by hous- /
ing young and old together

BEET SUGAR FACTORY.
Business Men Of Wavsrly Will Try to
SECURE location.

Spseia! to ,es-Republ!cAn.
Waverly, Nov. 1.-The business men
of Waverly have organized and are
taking active steps to secure pledges Of
sufficient acreage to bring here the
beet sugar factory which will be es-
tablished in northeastern Iowa ut some
suitable place. Our people have had
this industry under consideration for
a long time and have had the active
assistance OF one or more railroad
compares whose lines pass through
waverly. OF course, If all details can
be satisfactorily met, still we must ex-
pect little difficulty in securing the
5000 acres required for this purpose.
Our county is essentially a dairy and
stock county, and our Germans have
succeeded to such an extent in those
lines of farming that 1t Is very doubt
full whether they will consent to un-
dertake the beet sugar business, with
the employment OF additional labor
that it would entail.
A schoolhouse campaign, however,
will be made throughout the county.
and the interest Of the farmers fully
tested.

ATTACK FORT HAMILTON.
Soldiers Retreot-Brooklyn Threat
ened by Mosquito Fleet.

Mosquitoes have taken possession Of Bay Ridge
and Fort Hamilton. The police Of the SSth-st sta
ton and the soldiers at Fort Hamilton were forced
TO capitulate several days ago.
The mosquitoes appeared after the storm last
Sunday, and since then have increased so rapidly
that those living in the suburbs plainly show the
strain resulting from sleep lost in nightly battles
with the persistent insects.
]. G. Smith, of 73d-st and 4th-ave. planned a
heroic campaign against the pests. Last night he
poured several gallons of oil on the lawn and in
every room burned sulphur He said that Friday
evening the mosquitoes thick in his din
ing room that he at times unable to distin-
suish the different members of his family.
The mosquitoes have caused no end OF suffering
among the platoons at the Fort Hamilton
station. The newly whitewashed walls plainly
show mprnts of policemens shoes, telling sad
stories of midnight tragedies.
At Fort Hamilton the pest has kept the soldiers
awake for several nights. The haggar rd
from lack of sleep, and are hoping for easterly
wind to return the pest to the New-Jersey swamps.
The druggists reapng a harvest. Orders for
lotion coming in fast that the supply is
almost at its ebb The hardware stores have been
stocked with extra supplies of feather busters,
which are in demand by those taking active part
in the fight 70 rid their homes of the pest
That the afflicted cottagers have not yet burned
their homes is causing wonder among those living
outside the mosquito zone
