Royal NeIghhor. EasertaIn

Victoria Camp, No. 4ss, Royal
Neighbors Of America, had an
other royal time last Monday
night. II was the time for in
stallation Of their new officers,
and each member was given the
privilege Of bringing a guest 70
witness the services. The sfs
sonic lodge was in session in
their room above and az the prop
er time a committee Of Neigh
bors was sent up 10 invite them
to the feast also. The lodge
room Of the Neighbors was full
TO overlooking and the ~installa-
ton ceremonies, with Mrs. P. G.
Stonebraker and her assistant
Mrs. DR.. Delamater as the in
stalling officers, went of without
a hitch, and is being very highly
comphmented on every hand.
After some exhibition work By
the Neighbors everyone was invi-
ted to the banquet room, where
an elegant supper consisting of
turkey, ham, oysters, salads,
cranberry sauce, celery, pickles,
coffee, ice cream and cake, etc. /,
was served. After the feast the
people returned to the lodge room
and had a royal good time until
late. The committees having
this affair in charge deserve much
credit for the impressive and
neighborly manner IN which
everything was conducted, and
all those present are more than
anxious for the Royal Neighbers
70 entertain early and often.

The farmers who raised sugar beets

Nashua, Oct. 19.-Is honey mailable
The postmaster at Nashua thinks not,
after his experience of few days ago,
and the postoffice department has been
appealed to in hopes of barring this
sort of sweetness from the mails.
Someone at Farley, had mailed a
four pound box of honey to a patron of
rural route No. and in trtnsit the
comb had been broken. The Extracted
honey leaked out of the package and
smeared everything in the sack, some
letters being SO thoroughly covered
with the stuff that it was necessary to
wipe them off with damp towel be-
fore they could be sorted and placed
in the boxes.

Fenton.
Some of the farmers IN this vicinity
have adopted the plans of farmers in
Illinois and other eastern states in
cutting up their entire corn crop. Jacob
Walz has just finished cutting up his
crop of 60 acres and intends shredding
it early this winter. Thee. Bleckwenn
has cut up 80 acres and will also shred
his. In handling their crop in this way
all Of the stalks are made into first
class fodder and nothing grown on the
land is wasted The time is soon COM
ing when this will be uniform plan
in this vicinity.
Manson.
Swan Nelson struck a peculiar con-
dition of soil where he is putting in
his big tile ditch west of town. Near
the Central track the diggers, at a
depth of eight feet ran into a soft
muck that would not bear their
weight, neither could they throw it
out with a spade, on account of it's
soft, Shiny condition. With no foot
ing to stand on the diggers were COM
PEELED to quit work. It would not
do to lay the big tile in such soil, even
if they could dig by it, as they would
simply sink down into it and it would
be impossible to make them level
enough to carry water. A pole run
down into the mud found no bottom
He is in hopes that the tile already
laid will draw off enough moisture SO
the work can proceed.

Day, There
IMPROVEMENTS ON c. & N. w
The Company Has Been Doing consid-
cradle Work at Salt Creek, But 1t Is
Reported That Many More Improve
ments Will Be Made in the Vicinity
of Belle PLANE Next Season.
Special to T:mes-Repuplican.

Special to Times Republican.
Belle PLANE. Otc. 19.-It is reported
upon the best authority that all freight
trainmen on the Chicago & North
western main line, will have their lay
over at Belle PLANE, beginning the
first of next month. This is on ac-
count of the going into effect of the
sixteen hour law. All engine men or
freight trains already lay over here
This will bring at least 100 more rail-
way men a day into Belle PLANE. Some
of the trainmen are already looking for
houses. Some of them will rent rooms
and others will sleep in their way
cars. The hotels and boarding houses
here are now crowded to the limit, but
arrangements will be made to take the
best of care for the new men, and all
the other additional men which the
Chicago & Northwestern is constant
ly adding at this point.
With this change come authoritative
reports that many improvements will
be made here by the c. g. N, w. next
season. The company has been replac-
ing the old pile bridge on the double
track main line across Salt creek just
west of Belle PLANE, with a fine steel
structure and also raising the track
at that point. This is preparation to
extensive improvements in their
switch yards and terminal facilities
here, which will include extensive rails
ing of the track in the sag just west
of Belle Plaine, Strengthening the track
thru the deep cut just east Of here,
and many other improvements.
The present roundhouse is too small,
and will have to be replaced soon with
Il much larger one, located west of the
present roundhouse, which after the
new one is built, will be used as a
shop.
All these proposed changes are in
line and accord with the present pol
icy of the G.. & N. W. railway regard
ing Belle Plaine, which certainly seems
to be to make this point division head
quarters for all freight in form as we'll
as in fact. 1t is confidently predicted
that the main line and T. e. NJ. division
headquarters will be established here
within a short time.

Algona.
Algona merchants are having good
trade this fall. There is uniform tes-
timony that trade is good. Some of
our firms are reporting increased trade
over last years record. There seems
to be plenty of money in the coun-
try. Algona banks last month reported
total deposits of $938,913.69 as against
$724,632.9S year ago, an increase of
nearly quarter of million, or in eX-
act figures $213OS0.71. AS one bust

Forest City.
A fresh guy" who dropped into town
for short stay and who amused him
self by making ungentlemanly and
obscene remarks about little girls whom
he met on the streets, got what was
coming to him Monday evening. He
accepted an invitation to stroll about
the city with one of our young men,
who by appointment led him into one
/, of the byways Of our city, where he
was bounced onto and given a thor
ough hazing. He was taken to the
banks of placid Lime creek, disrobed,
and was made to do various acrobatic
stunts on grounds where the thistle
and cookie burs had thrived during
the growing season. It was case of
justice being meted out to one whom
the eye of the law had overlooked.
Ames.
The passengers on an interurban
car were frightened badly by what
might have been much more serious
incident. The car was behind time and
came around the curve to the bridge
at a forty-mil speed. A dozen or more
students on the bridge were able to
cross after they heard the car with
the exception of one young lady. She
was half way across, but knowing that
she could not reach the other side, got
down on her hands and knees and
crawled out on the cross beam. where
she held on for dear life. As the car
came closer she became historical and
commenced TO scream. Her screams
