South Side, but as the place grew and
the men crossed the river to make use
of the fertile prairie rather than at
tacking the forbidding hills, some way
to cross the river was needed which
resulted in the building of ferry

wide while the other streets were OF
the regular size. Many people of this
day and age have wondered why Mar
ket street is wider than the others
for two blocks. Every one knows of
the southern markets with wagons,
standing in long rows, their oranges,
bananas, beans, corn and potatoes
glistening under their native skies and
scorching from the intense heat of the
tropical sun.
1t was with this idea in mind that
the first pioneer, in building their new
city, made Market street 80 feet wide,
in order that the old southern market
might become established in the heart
of the new city The original idea was
to build long narrow market house
about 40 feet wide and reaching from
Main to Third streets, leaving a mar
row street on each side, where the
hucksters and fruit venders could
draw up their wagons, and there cry
their wares in true old southern style.
Although the street was laid out In
this way 1t was never used for Its
original purpose.
When the city of Ottumwa was laid
out few people would have dared to
prophesy that the high rough hills
that extended back from the river
would ever be the sites for handsome
residences and long streets. Ottum-
wa is beautifully situated for the
making of pretty town, with the
Des Moines river winding in and out
among the hills The main part Of the
town was planned originally to be on
tha north side of the DeS MOineS
From the banks Of the river there is
a gradual ascent for about one half a
mile, then broken by hollow from
which another ascent is made for an
other half-mile. A panorama of OF
tumwa is beautiful, with the busy city
below, while the river can be seer
winding along on it's way to the Mis-
sissippi.

FOR ENTERPRISE
A REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF
THE CITY SINCE IT'S BIRTH
IN 1843.
WA S LOUIS VILE
Laid Out on the Plan of Southern City
Due to Early Pioneers Hail
ing From South Ferry
Piled on River.
WA S LoUlsv VILE

Ottumwa has always been one of
the most enterprising cities in the
state Of Iowa. Its very name implies
given that name because of the deter
mination of Appanoose and his band
to make their home here in this
pretty spot against the wishes of Wap-
clio and other members of his tribe.
For the purpose Of securing the
town site and laying out the lots and
Streets a company was founded in the
spring of 1S43 under the name of
the Appanoose Rapids company,
which was composed of twelve men
who each took two shares in the
stock company.
AS soon as the county was thrown
open for settlement these men at once
selected the site for the proposed
town and on May 20, 1874 met at
place and entered into formal articles
of association. The name Ottumwa
was chosen for the town although it
had been called Louisville for some
time in honor of Louisville, KY, the
native state of the pioneers
For two years after plating the
village it grew but slowly. The town
consisted Of few stores with no
public buildings of any kind. In 1S45
new settlers began to come in and the
town started to grow. A mill was
begun and completed on what was
then known as the Mill Donation
between what is now Court and Green
streets along the river.
Want a Market Place.
AS has been said Ottumwa was laid
out by southerners and with the pict-
ure of their old home continually be-
fore them they planned their new
homes as they we're accustomed to see
their old one At that time there
were no streets running to the river
and Market street. running from Main
up to Third street was made SO feet

Generally speaking, there is less pecu-
ltarity to note about the Spaniard's dress
than with many others.
The Austrian and Hungarian participate
in the characteristics of the German, but
are more tasteful in the cut and finish,
suggesting a skillful blending of French
and German notions. On the other hand
the italian type is a Germanized French
style, so that you get more of the artistic
finish of the French in their clothing
than you find in the Austrian or Hun
garian.
The Norwegian and Dane are seldom
distinguishable from the Englishman as
far as his clothes are concerned, except
II be in preciseness that is apt TO sug-
gest stiffness in place of that ease and
grace which mark the English garments.
The colonial is invariably attired in
utilitarian garb, a tweed loung suit in
modified English style, cut for comfort
and made up for strength. He has no
desire for show, and cares little for deco
rations. so that he is rarely seen in
frock or morning cOat.-Tailor and Cutter.

ALWAYS REMEMBER FIVE "Ws"
BY This Injunction Sergeant Marshall
Has Cinched His Claim as
Philosopher.

Police Sergeant Marshall Is a philosopher,
a man Of parts and also a man of system.
The world talks of strenuous men and
admires those who rush about as active as
ants. Sergeant Marshall is not one of
these. but he gets. there just the same. He
does it by system.
when a man goes QUITO get a story or
for information 1 tell him to remember the
five VS." says Mr. Marshall.
This is the cue for the hearer to ask
what the five WIS are. Whereupon the
sergeant proudly elucidates.
"Who, where, when, what and why" he
says "When a man has inquired and Sc
cured information on those five points he
has all there is in any story. OF course,
there might be other facts which could be
added under remarks but they are of
secondary Importance"
This is the foundation of Mr.. MarshalPs 8
system. 1t is his own peculiarly. He didn't
get it through a correspondence school and
he doesn't charge correspondence school
rates for teaching II. 1t is free and who
ever wants 1t may take and use it freely
in his daily dealings.
