Clothing Greatly Needed.

The demands made on the supplies
in the hands of the agent of the Or
ganized Charity Association have been
SO great with the approach of cold
weather and the opening Of the schools
that the store room is depleted. In
order to carry ON the work of prepar-
ing needy children for school the asso-
citation must have aid from the citi-
zens., Supplies in the way of clothing,
especially Shoes and stockings, are
needed at once. The greatest demand
is for clothing and shoes suitable FIR
children between the ages of 6 and II
years. Any one who has spare arti-
cles need go to little trouble further
than notifying the agent, Mrs. White
head, by telephone, and the goods will
be called for.
A meeting of the association will be
held next Monday evening at o'clock,
at the home OF the president, Mrs. w.
R. Forney. 500 North First street, and
the society would be lyratified with the
attendance at that time of every per-
son interested in charity work.

Hurt in Runaway Accident Near Den.
ison-Still Confined to His Bed.

Mr.. Dell McCord, of this city, who is
agent for the j. T. Case Threshing Ma
chine Company, is confined to his room
in hotel at Sioux City, suffering from
injuries received in a runaway acct
dent. While the injuries will not re-
suit seriously and Mr.. McCord expects
to be able to return home soon, he
narrowly escaped being killed.
Having business in the country
near Denison last Tuesday, Mr.. Mo-
Cord secured livery team and driver
and visited farm where threshing
operations were in progress. The
team became frightened at the ma
chine, started to run and threw the
driver from the buggy, the man taking
the lines with him. The horses ran
across the field and against wire
fence. The fence tore off the buggy
top and took Mr.. McCord with it, and
he was dragged in the top a distance
of ten rods and into another fence. He
was unconscious for some time, hav-
ing been injured on the head and cut
about the face, several stitches being
required to close the wounds.
Mr.. McCord went from Denison to
Sioux City after the accident, but has
been belfast since his arrival there.
He has informed his family here that
he will be able to come home within
a few days, however.

Frank Boyle, who for almost three
years has $50 successfully managed
the TT. Dodge club, of the Iowa State
League, Is to become Waterloo's man
ager. There is, however, dependant
clause in Mr.. Boyle's arrangements,
which make it necessary in case he
takes the team, for the present imam
cial affairs of the Waterloo CLUB to be
put on a sound basis. Boyle insists
that all indebtedness for the year must
be paid. and that the franchise for
next year be placed in the hands OF
responsible men. Otherwise he wishes
to have nothing to do with Waterloos
team. Waterloo. like other associa-
tons of the league, has had its finan-
cal difficulties this season. Another
of its difficulties has been incompetent
management of its team If In case
Waterloo can so arrange its financial
affairs this season, and retain the fran
chise with money behind il for next
year, the coming of manager like
Boyle would be a great help in base
