History of Brilliant Career.
Brig. Gen. Joseph Wheeler, who was

the association. His remarks are
complete as follows:
This subject upon which I am to
ispeak tonight is one of vast import
ance to the retailers of any city, and
on account of Ottumwa's location, in
the midst of great agricultural dis
trict, in the midst of the great coal
fields of southern Iowa, with no city
of Importance nearer than Des Moines
1t becomes pre-eminently paramount.
4, "OtumWa, with her magnificent
lstores and mamoth stocks Of mer-
lchandise, with the hottest competition
always apparent, should have the
Hons share of the business within a
radius of fifty miles. Are we getting
1T? Are we living up to our oppor-
jtunities? / say emphatically, No!
What do we need? Inter-urban rail
ways. SomeS will say factories are
the thing. Yes, good factories are
very desirable and we want all the
good factories we can get, but in
cities where communication is estab
lished with the country districts and
smaller tGss s ; ink odrban lines,
- ;sissee universally Ba
the very best business getters, and
one line going out from Ottumwa to
the right territory would be worth
more to the retail business of Ottum-
wa than a half dozen factories en-
ploying fifty or seventy-flve men each.
Take, for example, the proposed OF
tumwa-Oskaloosa line going via Eddy
Vile. 1t would pass through thickly
settled, rich agricultural country, put
ting Ottumwa in close touch with Ed
dyville, town of 1900 people; Chill
licothe, Kirkville, Givin, Beacon, La
conta and White City, another mining
town of 1,5O0 souls. Most of these
are very prosperous communities, the
mining camps in different towns en-
ploying a great many men. There
are several other camps of less impor-
lance, aggregating great number of
people, that should be brought regu-
1arly to Ottumwa to trade.
"This line would tap the Iowa Cen
trail at Eddyville and the Northwest
ern near there, neither of which roads
now have lines reaching ottumwa,
1, giving us freight as well as passen-
ger connections with these two roads.
also connecting us directly with an in
to Buxton, one of the largest coal min
ing camps in Iowa, having about 5000
population, marketing about $500 tons
Of coal per day. Besides, several
smaller mining camps, not now on any
outlet. This line would enable these
smaller mines to more easily market
their product, induce a larger output,
consequently working more men. In
developing this district in such a way,
Ottumwa being the largest city in the
district, could reasonably expect to

and taxes Aue on personally shall be
a lien on the real essate owned by the
owner of the personally, and as be-
tween vendor and vendee "such lien
shall attach to real estate on the
thirty first day Of December following

Representative Stoltenberg proposes
to make the statute read in this parti-
cular that as between vendor and
vendee call such liens shall attach
from and after the date of the levy
in each year"
The levy is made in August or
September of each year and there is
no reason why the statute should not
attach the lien until four or five
months later.
To Complete Historical Building.
One of the appropriations asked of
the legislature which will be given
without question is that relating to
the completion of the state historical
building. About .$150,000 will be
asked and given.
The building will then have
cost 100000 or so and will be great
monument to Hon. Charles Aldrich.
Mr.. Aldrich started this work In
1884. He came down from Webster
City that year and by permission of
the trustees of the state library oc.
cupied seat in one of the alcoves
of that department and established
his three or four autograph
cases In the library for the pleasure
and education of, the visitors. These
grew more and more numerous and II
became apparent that the collection
was of value and interest to the public
Mr.. Aldrich continued to improve il
and add to it and finally the execu
tive council gave him a room in the
basement Of the capitol. Then the
building which is about to be com
pleted was begun and year or two
ago he moved into the $4,000 wing
which has housed his collection since
then. Now the 100000 addition is
practically done and the Legislature
| will appropriate $150,OC0 more.
1t Is a great work for which Mr.
Aldrich has sacrificed his whole career
without hope of suitable compensation
therefor. Leon Brown.

ITO point to the cotton patch,
large and promising as the oppor-

minimize the great Importance OF
this vital question. Its solution
may not be equivalent to the solu-
ton of the race trouble, but II will
mean at least step towards that
end. II is the one way to improve
the government and public service
of cities and towns. II is a grave
law and order work. 1t is the old
way. probably the only way, to
secure a system of good roads. 1t
is means OF civic education that

great value and to produce whole
some indirect effects whose value
