TO COLLECIANS
JEFFERSON COUNTY ATTORNEY
AND ALuMNUs GRILL STUD.
ENTs FOR LATE PRANK

Fairfield, Oct. 2S-(SpeciaD- D--Coun-
ty Attorney j. A. Huglin and Attorney
A. G. Jordan, an alumni Of Parsons col
lege visited the college yesterday and
read from the code of Iowa to the stu
dent body and talked to them regard
ing their forcible entry OF Library hall
Saturday night while show, by home
talent, was in progress. While no
arrest have yet been made the stu
dents were informed that they would
be given one chance to straighten the
matter up and If that chance was not
taken punishment would surely fol-
low. County Attorney Huglin SUBJ
nlitted proposition to them to the
effect that if each would pay % cents,
the price of admission, and promise
faithfully to forever refrain from such
performances in the future they would
not be prosecuted. They were given
until today to consider the matter
Immediately after the sessions a
mass meeting of the students was
held and the outcome Of it was that
each one should stand by the crowd
and the admission price would not be
forthcoming. Several well known law
yers, among them Hon. w. S. Allen
are trying to induce County Attorney
Huglin and those pushing the affair to
drop it, saying the whole thing arose
from a little college fun such as is al
ways had in the larger colleges.
AS sequel to the story John
Worth, author of the play that the
students gained admittance to Satur-
day night, and who was managing the
production as we'll as playing the lead
ing part, will likely be in the clutches
of the law very shortly as warrants
for his arrest are now out. He is
charged with larceny, having walked
away with new suit of clothes be-
longing to Oscar Miles of this city.
Miles loaned him the clothes to wear
during the production and after giving
the show here Saturday night and at
Batavia Monday night, Worth depart
ed for parts unknown.
Besides the clothes Worth took with
him a sparkler in the shape of a shirt
stud which he borrowed from the
manager of the opera house in Batavia.
While arranging his show for the
Batavia audience, Worth also borrow
ed other things such as boots, gloves
and scenery bits from the manager of
the house and he also forgot to return
them. A search warrant issued yes
terday and executed in the afternoon
revealed these things in the would-be
show mans trunk which was here.

PEOPLES PULPIT
Ottumwa. Oct. 2S. 1909

Ottumwa, Oct. 2S, 1909.
Editor Courier, Dear Sir
Good roads are more important to
Ottumwa even than interurbans, and
we need interurbans.
Cities on every side of us are inn
proving theis highways, namely Oska-
loosa, Fairfield, Washington and AL
bia.
Wapello county roads are worse
than any of these and roads in Center
township are especially in bad condi-
ton.
The Bloomfield road from the Dain
plant to the city limits Is disgrace to
the city. Farmers who live over four
miles from the city have worked on
this road to make it passable and it
is an easy road to make first class.
The road from the end of the pave
ment on Vest Second street has been
in bad condition for years. Is there
no fund for these streets? Why should
we expect the farmers to work the
roads when this city allows such
streets?
Ottumwa people must wake up to
the good roads situation and begin at
home. Let us make some drags and
start on our streets.
Let us make some more drags and
donate to farmers who are interest
ed. If they will use them.
Let us wake up. It's our business
to start this thing
Let US all pull together and not de-
pend on the farmers and the mer'
chants, but all classes of business are
or should be interested in this mat
| ter.
Money should be raised to push this
at once. Other cities are pushing this
matter.
1t is important. Let's get busy. Dc
your share and depend upon it good
roads will come.
They will not come by your saying
this is some one else's business. IT.
everybody's business.
Roads in every direction from OF
tumwa are in bad condition. Will yol
help to make change?
R. u. Ready.

PRESIDENT OF IOWA AssociA-
TloN IN IMPAssloNED SPEECH
AT CONVENTION URGES ApoP-
TIoN OF ENGLISH METHODS.
OLD WAY HAS NOT

ADVOCATES OF PICTURESQUE
METHODS POINT OUT THAT
LEGISLATURE HAS REFUSED
ALL LADYLIKE APPEALS.

Des Moines, Oct. 2s.-(Spec-
iaD-Elinore Gordon, state presi-
dent Of the Iowa suffragists, in an
iupassioned speech. urged the

English style.
Des Moines, Oct. 2S.-Whether the
suffrage women of Iowa will in the
future bear the title Of suffragettes
and be lined up with the English
militant wing of the suffrage organiza-
ton or proceed along former conserva-
tive lines in their fight for the ballot,
must be decided once and for all be-
fore the state convention closes Its
sessions in Des Moines Friday night.
That there will be two factions in
the state organization is not denied,
but after years of conservatism and
failure to win their cause in the legis-
lature the progressive faction of the
state association believe that the time
has come when more radical measures
must be taken These women are even
ready to be Jailed for the benefit of the
cause and to lead delegations of wom-
en- to the houses of the general assem-
bly, IL the occasion demands.
Mrs. Julia Clark Hallam Of Sioux
City, vice president of the association,
will lead the militant wing of the
organization and will make her plea
for more radical and picturesque meas.
ures to secure the ballot. She will dis
cuss the militant side of the suffrage
cause at length Friday afternoon.
The first note of warfare was sound
ed in the executive committee meet
ing of the association yesterday after.
noon. Although Mrs. Hallam would
not state the position she is to take
before the association it is well known
that she will make one Of the greatest
fights ever made before state con
vention for more progressive and mill
tant tactics.
To Solicit Funds.
The association will place superin
tendent In the field to solicit for q
Susan B. Anthony fund to be used II

EX-SLAvE AGED
95 YEARS DEAD
AMANDA FITZGERALD, BOUGHT
BY LATE HUSBAND PASSES
AWAY AT coRYDoN.

Corydon, Oct 2s.-) Special. )--Aman-
da Fitzgerald died at here home east of
here at the extreme old age of ninety
five. She was one of the first settlers in
county. Her husband H. NJ. Fitzgerald
died about five years ago. Funeral
services We're held at the Baptist
church in Corydon.
Tho death of Mrs. Fitzgerald calls
to the public's attention one of the in
teresting episodes of the early settle
rnent. Mrs. Fitzgerald was mulatto,
her mother being full blood African
and it was always supposed that her
father was a white plantation owner
although she never knew who her
father really was. Way back in the
Mrs. Fitzgerald and her mother Aunt
Rosie" married the former moved to
Wayne county, Iowa. Prior to this time
they all lived in Southern Missouri,
where the women were slaves and he
was poor white
They settled on one Of the best tracts
Of land in this county and gradually
became moderately wealthy. Aunt
Rosie lived until about 1880 and was
buried in the Corydon cemetery. She
never took much part in the social life
of the community but Mr.. and Mrs.
Fitzgerald wereealways highly respect
ed citizens, honest, capable and in
dIstrious
When the war broke out in 1860 Mr..
Fitzgerald was one of the first to en-
list from this county and served until
the close of the war, receiving an hon
orable discharge. He was brave and
faithful soldier serving the entire four
years is private.
The ces.th o1 Mrs. Fitzgerald is the
last chapter of one of those romances
characteristic Of the early settlement
days.
