Miss Ella Adams, who recently re
turned from Goodrich, where she mas

information concerning the Claus fam

SELLS BIG BUNCH OF CATTLE.

Ex-senator Joseph Wallace Of EIdora,
Late on Market for First Time.
For the first time in his experience
as a feeder and shipper, ex-senator
Joseph Wallace, of Hardin county, was
late on the market with a consignment
of steers, and now knows just what 1T
means. Mr. Wallace arrived in the city
Friday evening on his way home to
Eldora. He shipped large bunch OF
cattle to Chicago Tuesday, expecting
them to be on Wednesdays market.
They were delayed in transit. and did
not reach their destination until
Thursday. The result was a poorer
market and consequent loss. Mr.,
Wallace had eight loads into Chicago,
three from Mason City and the other
five from his Gearing farm The con-
signment was all steers, 157 head av-
eraging around 1000 pounds. They
were all of Mr.. Wallace's own feeding,
and were lot OF desirable stuff. The
cattle brought from $3.50 to $40.
Mr.. Wallace will leave the first of
the week for Darlington, N. D., where
he is feeding a large number of both
cattle and hogs. Owing to the snow
blockades Of the north it may be that
he will not ship to st. Paul. as he does
ordinarily, but instead will seek buy
ers at Darlington, which affords q very
fair market.

street, came to the pony's rescue. and
hit the dog over the head with a shovel.

Clubs Will Circulate Petit
tions Over the County
SUPERVISORS NOT OPPOSED
Movement Begun by Federated Clubs
of the City Will Probably Result in
Rest Rooms Being Opened in Court
House-score Of Petitions Will be
Circulated for Sign atures.

A movement which originated with,
and is being promoted by the City

titions are to be circulated turnout the
county asking the supervisors to set
aside a part of the court house for
the use of the women of the county.
A woman prominent In the affairs OF
the federation is authority for the
statement that the supervisors are not
unfriendly to the movement.
1t Is even said that when approached,
one of the supervisors said that II the
federation would secure many sigma
lures to the petition, so that a demand
for the rest rooms was apparent, the
supervisors would do the rest
1T Is the purpose of the federation to
have more than score of petitions
sent out thru all the townships and
towns of the county. These petitions
are now ready for distribution, and will
go out in a few days. The demand
and need for a rest room, where wom-
strangers here may go for place to
rest and arrange their toilet, meet their
friends and have packages delivered,
are apparent.
The petition which has been pre-
pared, and which is addressed to the
supervisors. is as follows:
Believing that the wives and
daughters of this county are Jointly en-
titled to a portion of the commodious
building erected for the use Of the cit
liens of the county, we, the under
signed citizens, most respectfully ask
that a suite of rooms consisting Of one
or two rooms to be used for rest rooms,
with avatory and toilet rooms adjoin-
ing. be fitted up in the basement Of the
court house, and properly maintained
for the especial use of the women Of
the county and their friends.
This is an imperative need, one long
due, and one which the wealthy county
can well afford Therefore, we ask
that you give the matter your immedi-
ate attention and place at our disposal
the above accommodations at your ear
liest convenience"

Local Comment

An amicable adjustment of the diff
ferences between the board Of super
visors and the city council was reached
without difficulty this week, and the
action is commemorate. It is far bet
ter to arbitrate and adjust than to be
obstinate and fight. Legal entangle-
ments are expensive, to say the least,
and with the taxpayers footing the
bills of both litigants the sensible So
luton was in settlement out of
court.
The annual school election is now
ment has already been made to the
effect that President Click will not be
a candidate for reelection. Citizens
should now be on the lookout for. some
good man to succeed Mr.. Click, who
has made a most valuable member in
his nine years of continuous service.
Some good business man should be
willing to make a sacrifice of his time
for the benefit of maintaining the eff
ficiency of the schools. There is prob
ably no other public body to which
the cranks are SO likely to aspire. They
feel duty bound, regardless of personal
interest in the welfare of the schools,
to use a public position to whet some
AK. 1t will behoove the public to be
on it's guard, and for those who have
the good of the schools deeply rooted
down in their hearts, to bring out
some good man for director, stand by
him, and see that he is elected.

The Iowa senate has passed a bill
introduced by Senator Charles EckleS,
of this county, increasing the per cap
tia appropriation of the state to the
Iowa Soldiers Home from $14 to SIS.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
house will take a similar attitude to-
ward the bill, and the appropriation be
granted. Since the amount Of the APP
preparation was fixed at $14 nearly
everything in the way of supplies re-
uuired by the institution has risen in
price, and running expenses are there
fore greater This resulted in the per
capita cost during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1904, exceeding the appropria-
ton by s1.19. in 1905, SO cents; and in

r. Rasmussen, With an Interesting Ca
reer- Speaks on Stun Work.


reer. Speaks on Stun Work.
The congregation Of the Elim-Nor-
wegian Lutheran church had an inter-
esting speaker Friday night, in the per-
son of Mr.. r. Rasmussen, of Lisbon,
ILL.,, an emissary of the slum mission Of
Brooklyn. N. Y, who delivered a most
entertaining address on mission work
in the slums of the larger cities, espec-
tally as it referred to Greater New
York.
Mr.. Rasmussen has had an interest
ing career. and his conversion came
about by reason of a daring feat that
he accomplished, in company with
eleven other sailors, in crossing the
Atlantic in small boat in 1898.
The Norwegian people have always
contended, and are Joined in the belief
by many historians. that their hero,
Left Ericsson, son of Eric the Red, was
the real discoverer of America in the
year 1000, just 492 years before Col
un1bus is given credit for his voyage
and discovery. In refuting the claim
of the Norwegians, historians not in
sympathy with the Ericsson claim made
the statement that in the days of Left
Ericsson no boat was BUILT that could
withstand such a perilous journey.
This led to some daring Norwegians
making voyage just to demonstrate
that a boat of the 1000 period could
cross the Atlantic successfully. A boat
was built, patterned after and an exact
counterpart of the craft used by the
Vikings. 1t made the trip. even tho 1T
was perilous one, and landed without
mishap. On the journey Rasmussen,
who had been a Norwegian sailor for
several years, became converted, for
he saw what he felt to be the hand Of
a Supreme Power guiding the destinies
of the little craft that was struggling
in the immense waves, and was Oft
times in danger of capsizing. Since his
conversion he has been worker in the
church, altho a layman, and for the
past few years has been devoting his

evinced a desire to learn the railroad
business, went with his father to Mr..
Thaw's office for his advice, and to Sc
cure him place in the company's Of
fees. Mr.. Thaw advised young Feeley
to enter the mechanical department of
the road. because he predicted that the
future heads and officials of railroads
would spring from the mechanical, and
not the office departments.
Mr.. Thaw secured young Feeley a
place in the Altoona shops, where he
went to work, and learned the ma
chinist's trade. He remembers Mr..
Thaw as kindly and very lovable sort
of a man. Mr.. Thaw and Mr.. Feeley's
father were intimate friends. At that
time Harry Thaw had not yet been
born.
