oTTUMWA PosToFFIcE TO HAVE
ADDITIONAL CARRIER SER.
VICE IN NEAR FUTURE.
Rural Route Inspector to Be In City
Thursday-Hert (. Mahon to Be
New Carrier in ottumwa-chanqe
In Routes to Be Made.

Postmaster F. w. Wilson received
word this morning that an additional
mail carrier had been allowed the OF
tumwa office and in the near future
the city will be redistricted and sew
eral changes made in the present
routes of the carriers. Bert E. Mahon,
senior substitute carrier will be the
new carrier.
Postmaster Wilson made application
for additional carrier service several
weeks ago, the rapid growth of the
city increasing the work of the car
riers until the size of the force made
it impossible to give as complete a
free delivery service as the city was
entitled to. With the additional car
rier the service will be greatly i'm
proved.
1t has not been decided Just where
| the route of the new carrier will be
established but as soon as possible the
city will be redistricted and consid.
cradle changes made in number OF
the routes. The Ottumwa office now
has twelve regular mail carriers.
Inspect Rural Routes.
w. F. Cleary, rural route inspector
will be in the city Thursday to inspect
the prospective Rural Route No. and
also to inspect the rural routes already
established and to recommend what
ever changes may be necessary.

MuLcT TAX DECISION.
Is Lien Again Property and Not a
Personal Obligation.

Des Moines, April 10--The supreme
court has decided in the case of Car
roll county against Theresa Ley as
administrator that the mulct tax is
not personal obligation as against
the owner of the property on which
the saloon business is carried on,
such as can be enforced by an action
at law.
The court holds that the usual
methods of enforcing loans on property
is by an action in equity. And. as to
general taxes, it has been held that the
methods of enforcing liens being pro.
vided by statute, an action at law can.
not be maintained against the owner
of the property to recover the amount
of the tax.
This is regarded as quite important
as 1t determines for all time that the
property and not the owner may be
held responsible fo- the delinquent
mulct tax.

College Ban on Briar Pipe In Iowa.

College Ban on Brar Pipe In Iowa.
Des Moines, April sl0.-The deadly
pipe is not good thing for college
students to look upon. Such at least
is the decision of the trustees of the
Morningside college at Sioux City
which has ordered the drawing de
signed for the Junior annual to be OBJ.
liberated and some new design pre-.
pared.
The offending sketch represents the
interior Of students room. The view
shows books scattered about with ath.
letic paraphernalia showing up very
prominently. In comfortable dress
ing gown sits a good looking student
pulling away at briar pipe. Wreaths
of smoke give the picture an artistic
touch. This is what offends the eye
of the Methodist trustees.

NEW INDUSTRY WILL BE START
ED IN oTTuMWA NEXT
FALL.
Expert Cutters and Desisners-Fac-
tory viii Be One Of Highest Stand
and In State and Have Room for
Storing Furs In Summer.

e. E. Bruins, manufacturer of all
kinds of furs, will open in the early
fall a complete and modern fur fac
tory in Ottumwa.
Arrangements have been made
whereby an expert cutter and designer
will be in charge of the work, one who
has had many years of experience.
AS the season opens there will be on
display an immense stock of furs,
made and unmade, such as it has not
been the pleasure of Ottumwa people
to see. The exhibition will occur
along about the last of August or pos
sibly the first of September, and a
most complete stock of furs of all
kinds will be shown In addition to
dries, such as heads, tails, frogs, but
tons. loops and every sort of trimming
that is essential for any repair work,
Preparations will be made during
the summer to receive the big ship
ments of furs and In preparing the
factory for the reception Of employees.
Cycling Furs.
The dyeing of fllrs is an art, which
is rarely understood by furriers, but
the expert who will be in charge is
competent to dye furs and success
fully set the dyes, SO that they can
scarcely be told from the new work.
Storing of Furs.
The storing and caring for
furs during the summer is task
that many people do not
understand. More furs are damaged
and many times entirely ruined by
moths during the summer than by ac-
tual wear. but If stored by experts and
cared for properly the expense of SO
doing would be far less than the re-
pair work that would naturally follow
any damage that occurs in this way.
e. 3. Bruins is thoroughly equipped
to take care of furs during
the summer. 1t is not enough to use
camphor or moth balls, etc., or to
place the furs in freezing tempera-
ture, for there is much more required,
as all furs should not be treated
alike. A technical knowledge of
each kind of fur is in
despensable in order to give proper
treatment which will cause furs to re-
tain their beautiful luster and keep
them in first class condition. They need
attention from time to time in order to
hCCp AlOluo uuu oluSA luSCSto 1AoAh
them.
There may be furs that look very
well short time which are not
durable and give no service, but the
stock which this fnrrier will place in
the store will be of the highest quail
ity and high grade furs only will be
put in garments made by this factory
People who desire furs made to spec
ial order can have them done ex
actly right in Ottumwa in the custom
department Of this factory, where all
kind Of new fur garments made to
measure will be turned out and guar.
anteed as represented. There will be a
department for remodeling and repair.
ing old garments and making them
over into new styles.
b. q. Bruins will have the entire SUI
pervision and personal control of the
store and factory and will give per.
sonal attention to all orders and over
see every garment that is made or re.
paired and see that all materials are
first class and are such as will
please the most exacting.
