A Proposed Water Supply.

The time is coming and that not far
away when this city must make some
arrangements for an adequate supply of
water for fire protection and public
uses. Ever since the Clarinda Poultry
Co. enlarged their big plant and added
an artificial ice plant and creamery
they have been hampered by the lack of
water and they have spent hundreds of
dollars in putting down surface wells
and have proven that wells can not be
secured here, and something must be
done.
There has been at various times some
talk Of constructing big reservoir and
recently A. M. Pryor in looking over the
ground found what he thinks is the So
luton OF the problem. In company with
H. G. Miller, of Clarinda, superinten-
dent of buildings of the Clarinda
Poultry Co. he has been figuring on
locating reservoir between the rail-
road tracks in the northwest part of
the city on the land owned by j. p.
Hamilton and j. A. Harris. Mr.. Miller
said dam could be constructed which
would create reservoir covering %
acres, and at d, rough guess estimated
that dam reinforced with concrete
could be constructed for about four
thousand dollars. The Clarinda Co.
would be willing to stand their share Of
the expense to secure supply of water
and it is proposed that the city
take hold of the matter and secure the
land which Mr.. Hamilton and Mr.. Harris
offer to sell at a reasonable figure,
and probably the railroad company
could be interested in securing water
here for their engines. The matter will
probably come up for discussion at the
meeting of the Commercial Club on
Friday evening of this week, and quite
number of persons have expressed a
very favorable opinion of the plan.
Something of this sort must be done
before long and it might just as we'll
be taken up and pushed to completion
at this time

Old Soldiers Entitled to Bounty.

On account of recent decision of
the court of claims and the treasury de-
partment, nearly every old soldier living
is entitled to an extra bounty of from
$25 to S10O for privates, and up to sew
eral hundred dollars for officers. A
pension attorney over at Washington,
Iowa, has been securing the allowance
of these bounties for Washington coun-
ty veterans and it is claimed that near
ly all soldiers of the Civil War are en-
titled to the bounty.
Every soldier who enlisted before De-
cember 1868 and served three years and
between April 1864, and July, 1854 and
served two years, or was discharged on
account of service no longer required,
or wounds received in line of duty, and
who have received no greater bounty
than $100, are entitled to additional
bounty. Additional allowance for
revenue tax withheld and for other rea-
sons soldiers of the civil war are enti-
tied to additional allowances.

sion in this City this Week.

e. church was held at the M. e. church

The Charlton District is composed of
thirty-six pastoral charges, but few of
them have not yet been supplied with
pastors for this year, there being nine
teen of the pastors in attendance.
The purpose of the district conference
was mainly evangelistic. Uually not
much business is t, ansacted at the fall
district conference, and the time is
spent mostly in consideration Of special
themes, the bulk of the business being
transacted at the spring meeting.
At the afternoon session Monday, af-
ter the devotional services, there was a
fine sermon by Rev. j. A. Ross, of Hum
eston, followed by the sacrament of the
Lords Supper. The various committees
were also appointed at this session. In
the evening there was sermon by Rev.

record as successful evangelist, made

THE WIZARD WAS A HIT.
The Singing of CoWley and the
Chorus was Pleasing.

The "Wizard of Wall Street" made an
unmistakeable hit at Forest Park yes
terday. People came through the rain
to see it and the house was we'll filled.
1t was the good natured crowd that
wanted little joliety, and they liked
the excitement of things happening all
the time. James Cowley, the principal
comedian, and his chorus made big
hit. "He Treated Me Right" pleased
the audience immensely. ''My Dusky
Rose by the chorus, in pretty cos
tunes, was one of the most effective
numbers that was encored. An appeal
ing thing about the show is that the
chorus is young and real pretty. They
do some graceful dancing and sing we'll.
Louise Powers Waiting at the Church"
was clever bit of absurdity. Enid
Delles Sis Hopkins song with the
chorus scored four como backs. Miss
Dele looked the part and acted it,
which gave her song good start-oG,
and she was amusing all through.
There is a pretty thing in the cleo
trical fire fly dance led by Louise
Powers. Girls in black and gold have
storage batteries in connection, and
then flash tiny electric lights in
their hair and about their dress as they
dance. There were several changes in
the effect, and the whole combination
was most attractive. Nellie Hartley
sang the FREELY song prettily, the rest
of the chorus dancing to it and posing.

IS CRUSHED TO DEATH
Samuel Raymond, Nephew of Capt.
J. D. Brown, is Instantly Killed
at his Home near Orient.

The following account Of the acciden-
tai death of Samuel Raymond, prom
inent farmer of Adair county, neph-
ew of Capt. D. Brown, of this city, is
taken from the Orient Independent Of
Oct. 24th. The deceased was also re-
lated to Samuel Farquhar of this city,
his wife having been niece of Mr..
Farquhar.
On Monday forenoon at about eight
o'clock, H. B. Farquhar received word
of the death of his brother-in-law, Sam
uel Raymond, living four miles east of
Hebron, in Madison county.
The accident occurred at about seven
o'clock in the morning when he was at
work with his son getting things in
readiness to place foundation under a
portion of the house that he had Just
moved in place from one of his farms
and had the same set on blocks at the
end against the house and on Jack
screws at the out end. The boy was at
work on the opposite side from his
father and did not know he was caught
beneath the falling building until he
heard groan and went around the
building to see what was the matter
and was Mortified to find his father be-
meath the building. He at once sum-
moned the neighbors, but his fathers
life was extinct long before help could
reach the scene of tragedy.
1t seems that Mr.. Raymond was at
work at one corner of the building and
wished to get to the other side started
to crawl under the building when the
iackscrews slipped, leaving the build
ing down upon him crushing the life
from his body. No bones were broken
and no bad bruises could be found
which would Indicate that just enough
weight rested upon his body to crush
the life from it. The parties who
moved the building had cautioned him
about the danger of the jackscrews
settling and slipping and it was this
that caused his death as everything
looked perfectly safe when he started
to go beneath the building.
Samuel Raymond was born in Des
Moines on January 19, 1865 and met
sad and untimely death at the age of
AZ years, months and II days.
He moved to Madison county with
his parents in 1868 where he lived up
until the time of his death. On April
Is, 1883 he was united in marriage to
Miss Amelia Farquhar, whom death
SAoilhSN esoouo OLA ySnlo dEO.
He leaves to mourn his death four
children, two sons and two daughters,
a mother, three sisters, SIX Brothers
and other relatives.
The funeral services were conducted
Wednesday by his pastor, Rev. Wolf
ington, from the First Congregational
church, of which he has been a faithful
and consistent member for twenty
years, and the remains laid to rest be-
side those of the wife who had gone be-
fore, in the Kivit cemetery.
1t is hard indeed to portray the sad
and untimely death of this man who
leaves four orphan children without
the guidance of father or mother to
lend a helping hand in the time of
need, but who must depend on the
| Father above to look after and lead
them on the righteous pathway through
| life.

An Automobile Livery,

Ray Layton and W. c. Stempel went
to Des Moines last Friday and returned
across the country Saturday in a new
Mason touring car which Ray pur-
chased last week. The new car is a
1908 model Mason, % horse power and
with higher wheels and larger body
than the Mason owned by DR.. HI. r.
Layton. The car has power sufficient
to take it over any road in the country
and Ray purchased it as an investment
and will keep it for hire at all times.
Parties desiring to rent the car for an
hours ride or for a trip to any other
town will be accommodated, and when
not otherwise in use Ray will probably
meet the trains at the depot and haul
passengers to and from the depot to any
part of the city. 1t is expected there
will be quite demand for the new car,
and in many cases it will be great
accommodation to the public.

Suicide at OsceoIa.

Charles Armstrong, one Of the wealthy
citizens of Osceola, committed suicide
last Friday morning by drinking car
bolic acid. Mr.. Armstrong attracted
national attention a couple of years ago
by fasting for thirty days, as he thought
he could cure his bodily ills by denying
himself all food. He survived the fast
ing ordeal although his health was not
improved. Since then he has been de-
spondent and had frequently threaten
ed to take his life. Some weeks ago he
divided his wealth, estimated at nearly
100000, between his three sons. He
was past 70 years of age and was a
prominent Odd Fellow.

Teachers Contract.

State Superintendent Riggs calls the
attention of all school teach, RS to the
fact that when they break their con-
tracts by quitting in the midst of a
term, without just cause, they have
committed a grave offense and are
amenable for damages. So grave is
this ofense from a moral standpoint
that the county superintendent would
be justified in Withholding his recon-
mendation to the State Board Of one
who has broken contract without
good cause. And the fact that the
teacher sees an opportunity to better
his condition, is not sufficient. The
teacher should keep to the contract
just as rigidly as he expects the board
to do in fulfilling their part of the
obligation.

home in that city on Tuesday morning
of last week, his death being caused
from apoplexy, being found dead in bed
when his mother called him to break
fast. Mr.. Fry was 81 years of age, and
was considered one of the most brilliant
