Dout CITY.

DoW City.
Meetings are still being held in the
Baptist church. Rev. LaReau was
expected from Denison but as he
could not come to conduct the meet
ings. the people here were fortunate
in securing Rev. Blackman of Sac
City. one of the veterans in the Bap-
fist denomination. AS showing the
kindly spirit among churches it could
be noted that the M. F. church held
no services last Sunday night so to
give large attendance at the Bap-
fist meeting.
The people of Dow City do not feel
that the Northwestern road is treat
ing them right on train service. The
passenger going west at 9 20 at Den
ison each night stops at all the
stations along here but Dow City.
Citizens wishing to come from the
east along the N w. have to leave
the train at Arion and walk to Dow
City. some two miles. The card
ought certainly to be changed in that
respect.
Ed. Chamberlain and wife were
Denison callers on Monday.
Mr.. Howorth is gaining and about
the house again.
DR.. Gannaway came in en- the
Illinois Central Monday night and was
given warm welcome by his friends.
We spoke of the new Masonic
officers last week. On Monday even
ing of this week the order had it's
banquet in the Whaley hall. The
Rudd brothers who run the restaurant
were asked to cater for the occasion,
and they did it most successfully.
They have charge of the banquet
given by the Odd Fellows on Wednes-
day evening.
The following is the list OF offers
installed by the Odd Fellow lodge on
Wednesday evening
G. M. Goddard, N. G.

F. c Buss. Sec.
Ed. Buss. Fin. Sec.
/ j. N. Bell Tres.
j. W. Wiley and Will Mcbride
have been down in the Texas Pan
Handle country. They saw some
fine looking land. Of course Pan
Handle lacks water and so such crops
as Iowa grows are not found there.
There is at last reason to think
that Dow City will have hotel. At
any rate our best citizens have organ
zed for that purpose. The articles of
incorporation have been signed and
sent to Des Moines with the follow
ing stockholders w. E. Fishel. A. H.
Rudd, N. K. Wilder. E. H. swasey.
w. c. Rolls. j. W. Howorth, Eugene
Virgins and Clair Butterworth. The
first officers are: Rolls. Pres. Rudd.
Vice-Pres; Virgins. Sec. and F'ishel.
Treas; Over 81 COO are now on hand.
That is what makes town. for the
citizens to work in unity for it's up
building. A good location has been
secured. A meeting is to be held on
Thursday evening at the Office of Mr.
Swasey to further plan in the matter.
In the past week there have been
many hog shipments, five or more cars
having lett town. On Monday the

50 05; Wheat 1880; Oats 43 Corn as /;
chickens Gets.
Mrs. David Walters who lives
north of town has recently returned
from visit with her brother at
Franklin. Penn. On the way back
she visited friends at Cleveland and
other Ohio places. returning home last
Thursday.
Messers Rudd and Huntington have
sold the roller skating rink to Mr..
Swatman the rural mail carrier. who
now has possession.
The highly respected Poitevin fam
lily living west of town has had a
sorrow about which their friends say
little. Your correspondent feels that
to settle further speculation in the
neighborhood it should be said that
one of the boys while temporarily de-
ranged in mind tried to kill himself,
by hanging. but was found and by aid
of the doctors brought to life again.
Friends of the family ask that the
incident may be considered closed.
and allowed to have no more publicity
than the mere statement of facts.
Mrs. Meta Williams is up from
Omaha on visit.
The supper served in the Cohen
hall Friday evening by the w. F. NJ.
