a lumber merchant of Exline, arrived
in Ottumwa shortly after midnight

Des Moines June 12.--Offers Of set
Element in the famous 100000 suit
brought by the Modern Woodmen of
America against the bondsmen of the
late E. II. McCutcheon, the Holstein
banker, have been made and are now
causing considerable comment among
the upper administrative circles of the
order. The bondsmen have, it is said,
offered to settle the suit to recover the
100000 which was deposited in the
Holstein bank, which went into the
hands Of receiver, for just half the
amount.
This has been refused by the frater-
nal order since the attorneys for it
claim that the bondsmen are good and
perfect security. Such u condition
they believe, makes a settlement an
unWise step to take.

George Richards had an experience
last Friday while doing repair work for
the Northern Iowa Telephone Com
pany, which came near proving fatal.
He was at work on the South Side
on a telephone pole to which is at
tached wire which supports an cleo
trio light. This wire is not supposed
to be a live wire, but the insulators
on the lamp were out of place, per-
hitting the currents to pass thru the
supposed dead wire. Mr.. Richards was
not aware of this and when his arm
touched the wire lightly he received a
shock 1t burned thru his clothing and
into the flesh. Fortunately he was able
to get to the ground safely, but was 50
weakened by the shock that he had to
call a conveyance to take his home.

Council Bluffs June 12.-Financlaliy
the recent firemen's tournament which
was held in this city was great sue
cess for the committee who had the
affair in charge. Ten local cluZens
took the tournament in charge, guar
anteeinE the prizes and expenses OF
the meet. When the board OF control
of the firemen's association arrived In
this city prior to the tournament tnls
committee turned over to the officers
$4,000 for the prizes. Further than
awarding the prizes. the association
had no concern with finances. The
local committee took charge Of every
thing, paying all expenses and keeping
all of the receipts.
Prior to the tournament the local
committee solicited contributions from
business men to the amount Of about
$4,000. This was paid in cash by the
people of the city who were anxious to
have the tournament a success. The
executive committee having the tour
nament in charge solicited concessions
for the. driving park, receiving large
amount Of money for them. Under the
auspices Of this committee carnival
was put in the streets to keep the
people in Council Bluffs during the
evening. The committee received a
per cent Of the receipts Of the carnival
company.
On the last day of the tournament,
a heavy storm prevented the compile
ton OF the scheduled races. Prizes in
races not run amounting to 1855 were
demanded from the f1remens associa-
ton and this was paid to the executive
committee yesterday.
Competent judges estimate that the
number of spectators in attendance at
the races was at least $4,000 for the
three days. OF this, perhaps, SOC were
passes, and besides this all f1renlen in
uniform were admitted free of charge.
However, it is thought there wee 49,
900 paid admissions to the races. TAX
ing into consideration the amount of
money received from subscriptions,
from concessions, from the carnival
and from admissions it seems pr obable
that the local committee took ii $12,-
900 Of which about $4,000 will b. clear
profit for the committee.

coNTENTMENT.

Somebody tells me that We cannot
be both contented and energetic.
That contentment means idleness
and doanothingness, drowsiness of
mind and body.
That cOntented people, being con
tented, are willing to let things slip
along US best they may and do moth
ing to better themselves or their con
dItions.
While the people who are disc m
tented. being discontented, exert
themselves to attain greater things,
press forward forgetting the things
that are behind, and reaching for
ward TO what is ahead.
Or, again, says this somebody, peo-
pie who call themselves conteuted
may he only resigned.
They are wishing matters to be diff
ferent, but since matters are as they
are they resign themselves meeldy to
their hard fate.
OF course, there can be quintllGg
of words over the same idea, aad
much arguing over terms.
But the terms and the words are
nnlmportant. 1t is the spirit that
counts.
And there Is a spirit of content
ment that is neither slothfully sleepy
nor stoically, meekly resigned.
1t is a contentment that knows the
difference between = June apple and
an October apple.
1t is contented with June apple
in June, but it is not contented with
a June apple in october.
In June it is contented with the
pale green tiny fruit, but it expects
large, mellow. ruddy fruit by October.
1t is not contented with Juneness in
October.
In October it wants Octoberness,
