The Medical union has won it's fight
against the telephone octopus in Web
ster City. Two months ago the tele-
phone company raised the rates for
medical men 81 per month. The doc
tors did not object to the extra dollar,
but they did object seriously to the in
justice, and as they have a union, the
organization took up the matter and all
members ordered out their phones.
The manager of the telephone company
who does not seem to be much of a
diplomat, began an aggressive fight up
on the doctors and advertised for ply
sicians to locate in Webster City. The
medical union responded by organizing
new telephone company. Finally the
union won out. The manager of the
telephone discovered that the public
was with the doctors, because the tele-
phonic service was really a much great
er convenience for the general public
than it was for the doctors. And SO the
octopus gave in.

They are telling pretty good one on
attorney V. r. McGinnis which happen
ed at Garden Grove the first of last
week when some Leon men were work
ing in that town securing signers to the
court house remonstrance. Gus Pryor
and Mr.. McGinnis called on Uncly Jim
Cherry, who is past eighty year of age
and whose eye sight is failing some.
Gus used every effort to induce Mr..
Cherry to sign, but was unsuccessful.
The next morning Cal Hoffman and Capt
Brown went down to his house, and
tried their luck. Mr.. Cherry listened to
their argument for some time and then
told them he had not signed the petition
and would not sign the remonstrance
and that Gus and some boy had been
down the night before, on the same er-
rand and Gus had tried to palm off the
boy as Mr.. McGinnis, but could not sue
coed for Uncle Jim said he had heard
about McGinnis and knew that he was a
man and not boy. Cal quietly inform
ed him that his boyish looking visitor
was really McGinnis, and then Uncle
Jim confessed the youngster had put
up some pretty smooth talk for just a
boy, but he still doubt whether it was
the genuine McGinnis who called on
him. But Uncle Jim finally signed the
remonstrance just the same.

A team hitched to load of hay and
driven by John Norton turned around
quickly in front of the residence Of
Jonathan Hamilton last Wednesday
afternoon, upsetting the wagon and
throwing the driver to the ground, but
he was not injured. The team and front
wheels of the wagon came down church
street at furious pace, and one wheel
rolled into the doorway of A. P. Olsen's
house and the other stopped in front of
the residence of Morris Benefiel. The
horses were caught in the east part Of
town.

ripped off in strips and her soul sent to

talked again and the party listened the

exploding all over the house. Moral

PRESENTED AT COURT
THE LoNGWoRTHS RECEIVED BY
KING EDWARD.

Mr. and Mrs Nicholas Longworth were
presented at court yesterday in London.
The royal circle was numerous, and the
procession of the king, queen and officers
of state was exceptionally brilliant. The
kings breast glittered with orders and
the queen wore beautiful jewels.
There is no doubt that interest In the
court for a majority Of those attending
centered GRIZZLY in Mrs. Longworth- She
was the cynosure of all the English court
danes not excepting the royal princesses.
Etiquette prevented conspicuous quszzing,
but the curiosity of those who had not
previously met President Roosevet's
daughter was expressed as far as possible
within the limits Of society's precepts OF
decorum.
Mrs Longworth passed through the or
deal with self-possession, and received the
special notice which the king and queen
and other members of the royal circle
markedly bestowed on her with modest
ease.
After the presentation King Edward and
Queen Alexandra passed to the supper
room and Immediately sent for Mr.. and
Mrs. Longworth to Join them.
The American presentations in the dipio-
matte circle, in addition to Mr. and Mrs.
Longworth. were Mr.. Frederick w. Whit
ridge American representative at the we'd
ding of King Alfonso; Mrs Whitridge and
Miss Whitridge Of New York, John G. A.
Leishman, American ambassador to Tur-
key, and Mrs. Leiahman; Mrs. Frederick
Benedict of Washington. Mrs John Drexel
OF Philadelphia, Miss Mathilde Townsend
OF Washington, d. c., and Miss Halle

PRoCToR's MEMORY FAULTY.
Cannot Remember to Whom He Paid
Bestgen's Contribution.

Eleven witnesses who testified yesterday
in Boston at the trial of Robert G. Proctor,
charged with the larceny of a campaign
contribution of s225 from John G. Bestgen
of Quincy, said that they had no recollection
of any contribution having been received
at the republican headquarters from Best
gen.
The defense called Proctor to the stand
He testified that he had been secretary to
Senator Lodge for thirteen years and was
still acting in that capacity. He said that
Bestgen in 1904, gave him money for the
republican campaign fund. Proctor did not
count it, but gave it at once to some one
at the republican state headquarters He
could not remember to whom he gave it.
After calling one more witness, former
Attorney General Herbert A. Parker, Proc
tors counsel, moved that the case be taken
from the jury as the government had not
offered any evidence to contradict the de-
PENDANTS claim that he had turned the
money over to the state committee.
Judge de Courcey refused the motion,
saying that 1t appeared to him that there
was evidence from which the jury might
draw differences tending to support the
charge against the defendant. Mr.. Parker
then made his argument.

BONFIRE OF CLOTHING.
Naval Uniforms Obtained From Pawn
shops DESTROYED.


Twenty thousand dollars worth of cloth
Ing was yesterday burned by the govern
ment on the recently acquired reservation
adjoining the navy yard at Norfolk.
The clothing was recovered from pawn
shops last December by Special Agent F.
H. Cutchins. The big bonfire yesterday
was the result of the failure of officials to
find the original owners. The burning was
witt essed by q large number of sailors.
many OF whom would have been glad to
possess some of the clothes and were will
ing to pay for them. Marines stood guard
over the big heap and not even a pair of
trousers escaped the flames.
The raids last year resulted from COM
plants lodged with the commandant of the
navy yard here that great quantities of
clothing, uniforms, and other equipment be-
longing to the Navy Department was being
sold to pawnbrokers here by sailors and
others connected with the navy yard.
An investigation was made by the detec-
tives, and In the raid which followed an
enormous amount of clothing, sold by sail
ors in violation of the law, was discovered
distributed among many pawn shops. The
pawnbrokers were tried and punished, but
most of the sailors who sold the uniforms
escaped, as there was no way to identify
them, and confession would mean impris-
