Standing of the Clubs.

BY hitting Tretter for three home
runs, couple of two baggers, and two
singles, Ottumwa had an easy time
grabbing away the postponed game
yesterday, to 5. and taking the series
two to one. With the visitors making
tremendous long drives over the fence,
and the Burlington bunch yelling for
the winners from the grand stand, the

final bout of the series.
While the total of the visitors HIS
was less than that of the home team,
the aggregate of the number of thu
bases exceeded similar number OF
like hits recently made on the local
grounds. Home runs Were the order of
the day, but as it fortunately happen
ed, the three only Melted four tallies.
Up to the time the Brownies first
scored that number was more than
sufficient for winning purposes. Ev-
erett, Hoffmeister and Flake all hit
over the fence. the latter's drive send
ing home Hoffmeister, who had pre-
viously scored Gagnier on a two-bag-
ger. While it was an apparently easy
matter for Ottumwa to hit Tretter's
delivery far into the outfield, the
Brownies had all kinds Of difficulty
with Grindle. They hit him often
enough, but eight of them died on
bases, while en- route home, which
shows when the hits were most needed
they could not be made. Only three of
locals five tallies, and it was only be-
cause of Grindle making a wild pitcn
when the bases We're full in the seventh
that the locals showed up close to the
leaders.
Before Grindle's bad break gave the
Brownies two of the three tallies talk
en- in the seventh, Spencer, Williams
and Corkill, by two doubles and a sin
gle, had scored two in the fifth.
In the seventh Grindle walked Spen-
Ger and Williams and Corkill filled the
bases by his single over first. While
Brown was flaming out, Grindle made
his wild pitch, Spencer and Williams
coming home. Baxter singled and
scored Corkill, but Mckee and Harris
flew out That ended the locals run

score, it then being 5 to 6, gave the
fanatics much hope. Ottumwa increas

eighth, and the hope went glimmer

Recent Arrest Of Hayward
Young Girls Likely to Cause
Revival of Dead Ordinance
WILL ASK COUNCIL TO HELP
If Council Can Be Induced to Appro-
pirate Small Sum for Pay of Special
Officer, Mayor lngledue Will Appoint
Dr.. Liebig to Patrol Streets at Night
and Make Arrests.

Recent arrests of two girls Is years
of age, who We're charged by the ponce
with being the keepers of an immoral
resort. and other deplorable affairs In
which school girls had suffered the
consciousness of being led astray, has
aroused Mayor Ingledue to action, ana
resurrection of the curfew law, long
since dead among the city ordinances,
may be the result. Mayor Ingledue is
in earnest In the matter, and If he can
induce the council to help, the ordin-
ance will become effective by the APP
pointment of special officer to see
that it is enforced.
1t is the purpose of the mayor to rid
the streets after 9 o'clock of girls, a
great many of them mere children,
who, il not already, are fast gong
astray.
Recent happenings In the police
court suggested his proposed action
and investigation convinced him that
boys and girls under is years of age
have nc business on the streets after
Q o'clock 1t is his purpose to ask the
council at it's meeting on May 70 to
appropriate a small monthly sum,
which he will use to pay Humane Offl-
Ger DR.. Rosa I4iebig. whom he will APP
point as special curfew officer, and
clothe her with the same authority he
gives the police officers. She will have
the use of the patrol wagon to scour
the outlying districts of the city and
gather up those who should be at
home The curfew bell would ring
again each night at 9 o'clock, and
the police will be instructed to take
charge of all those whom the ordin-
ance fcrbids being out at that time.
Mayor Ingledue says that the police
are unable, by reason of their restrict
ed districts, to successfully cope with
the situation, because it is not in the
business districts over which they have
surveillance that the mischief is done,
but rather in the dark side streets.
around school and church buildings
and elsewhere.

years of age, and leaves besides the

A Change
When Coffee
Is Left Off

1t is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as it is
for a whiskey or tobacco fiend to break
off, except that the coffee user can quit
coffee and take up Postum Food Coffee
without any feeling of a loss of the
morning beverage, for when Postum is
we'll boiled and served with cream, it is
really better in point of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur it is
like the flavor OF fine Java.
A great transforms ton takes place in
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee is left off and Postum Food
Coffee used, for the reason that the
poison to the nerves has been discon-
tinued and in it's place is taken liquid
that contains the most powerful ele-
ments of nourishment.
It is easy to make this test and prove.

CUNM|NS NOT |O ACT
Iowa Executive Committee Will
Not Serve on Lawson's Com
mittee to Handle Proxies
FINALLY MAKES DECISION
.Es DECISION
To Serve Would Mako II Necessary to
Lobby for Change in Insurance Laws
in New York, Position Which Gov
error of the State Could Not Take
With Dignity.

Des MGnes, Feb 15.-Governor
W. Lawson of Boston notifying him
that he could not serve on the COM
mittae suggested by Mr.. Lawson to
vote proxies held by him in the New
York Life and New York Mutual Life
companies and to do other things to
make such action effective.
The governor has two reasons for
not accepting place ON the corhmlt-
tee. 1t Is necessary under the condi-
tons as they exist, according to Law
son, for the legislature of New York
to pass two laws to make voting the
proxies referred to effective. 1t Is nee
essary to have law passed regulating
the voting by proxies and fixing date
beyond which proxies shall not be re-
garded as valid. Governor Cumnins
could not undertake to lobby for a
bill before the New York legislature
and a governor of one state could not
properly interest himself in the legis-
laticn before another, in this way In
addition the governor has not the time
at his disposal to give to the discharge
of the duties which will fall to the
committeeman who finally are select
ed.
Governor Cummins had signified to
Mr.. Lawson, in response to written
statements relative to proxy voting.
that he might be willing to act with
a reputable committee in the sole mat
ter Of voting proxies for men above re-
proach for officers or directors OF the
companies. Later Mr.. Lawson, visiting
here, explained the necessity Of the
passage of two laws in New York to
make his scheme effective. To UNDER
take to secure these laws in New York
is a commission which he could not
consider undertaking even if he had
the time.

Sioux City Club Women Say "Fuss'
Over Miss Alice is Undemocratic


Sioux City, Feb. 15.-Prominent
club women Of Sioux City, who have
been discussing the approaching Long
worth Roosevelt nuptials at their club
gatherings and afternoon teas, declare
that entirely too much fuss is being
made over the wedding, and, further
more, that the array of costly presents,
aside from being undemocratic, is all
foolishness"
..There has been undue show and
display" said Mrs. C. E. Robinson of
the Political Equality Club, "and it is
certainly poor taste. Cuba would
have done much better it seems to
me, if she had sent note expressing
her congratulations instead of giving
Miss Roosevelt a diamond necklace"
'sThe accounts of the wedding will
have bad influence on young and
uniformed girls" declared Mrs. H. I.
Brown. "They will get false ideas, and
perhaps try to initiate Miss Roosevelt
and the details of her wedding

Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Mills had sent a

Chicago, Feb. 15.-The demand for

have not been equal to the demand.
1t seems that the great bulk of the
inquiry is for something good and
with pretty strong weight. There is
a good attendance of buyers, and prices
are stronger all along the line, tho
most of the demand is for the selected
grades Eastern men are the principal
buyers. Recent sales of choice feed
ers have been up to $4.65 and some
were held at $40 Wednesday. Tues

MISSING OIL KING is FOUND.
Process Server Declares Rockefeller Il
at His Sons Residence.

Process server Declares Rockefeller l8
at His Sons Residence.
New York, Feb. 14.-John D. Rookie
Teller has been found, according to M.
e. I'almedo, the process server who
caught II. H. Rogers and who has been
after Rockefeller for several weeks.
But Palmedo has not served his sub
poena yet.
Mi Rockefeller is not hiding in the
shelter of the north pole nor in the
languorous shade of the southern
palms. according to Palmedos but in
the home of his son, the bible class
teacher, at Pocantico Hills.
Mr.. Rockefeller has been at Pocan-
tico uninterruptedly, it is said, since
january %, when he went up from
New York under cover of the night,
sequestered in the mansion of his son,
quarter of a mile from his own home,
unknown to the process servers who
have been camping out for three
at Tarrytown.
Is an Ideal Hiding Place.
Pocantico Hills is an ideal hiding
place. There are about 5000 acres
with steep hills. deep gullies winding
roads, thick woods and stone walls with
unexpected turns. John D. Rockefel-
Ter has a modest sort of home there
very plain but roomy frame buildA
ing, painted a dazzling yellow, resting
on a base Of fiery red brick, which
nestles at the bottom of the slope and
is easily seen from the public road
From the house three macadam
driveways run to the most remote
parts of the estate. One of them,
winding to the north, passes the home
of John D., Jr., mansion in the old
French renaissance style, the gabled
ROOT, of which, surmounted by tower
can be seen for miles around Its APP
proach is hedged with thickly growing
evergreen trees and at the front there
is g. wide circle in which is a flower
bed The house looks big enough to
accommodate regiment of process
servers 1t has great, staring windows
with heavy lace curtains.
Detectives Stationed in Tower.
From the house there is a clear view
of the surrounding country and the
tower affords a still wider survey of the
country. In this tower one of Rookie
fell'er's private detectives, it is believed,
has been on the watch for process
servers since January %. With this
espionage Mr.. Rockefeller has been
enabled, when the coast was clear to
saunter over the estate or indulge his
passion for golf on the nearby links.
Mo process man has been able to get
upon the golf links while he has been
disoorting on them because whenever
any one who has looked at all suspic-
ions has come around Mr. Rockefeller
has been warned and hurried trip to
the house has kept him safe from the
dreaded summons.
