NAMING nUust W nOuSe OduEd
In their final effort to swell the fund
OF the Six-Oounty convention the fire
men today will begin house to house
canvass Of the town. The plan de
vised bears the stamp Of originality
and will no doubt work out very we'll
The canvassers will leave at each
house a circular letter explaining that
more money is needed to meet the ex.
penses of the firemen's convention.
The family visited is kindly requested
to contribute money to the extent OF
it's ability.
Accompanying the circular letter is
an envelope addressed to the commit
tee, which the contributor is supposed
to use in forwarding his contribution
to the fremen.
The persons distributing the cirou-
lar letter and the addressed envelopes
will complete the canvass of the town
in a day or so. Next week they will
collect the envelopes. In the interim
the persons called upon will have
ample time to decide what they are
able to do in the premises.
The firemen expect to realize several
hundred dollars by this method. .

in the Lizard creek Thursday after
noon, and Chas. Hamilton, the Minne@
apolis 6 st. Louis employee who waH
drowned in the Des Moines whils

was kept up all day Saturday and far
into the night without success, but the
bodies of both the man and the boy
were recovered from the waters of this
Des Moines river during Sunday mora
ing. The bodies were brought to Fort
Dodge Sunday evening and on Mondayl
that Of the boy was taken to his foie
mer home at Pomeroy for burial. The
funeral of Hamilton was held at his
former home at Albert Lea today, the
remains being taken to that city thu
morning. 1t is estimated the distance
from the place where young Lowry
was drowned to where his remains
were found is close to twenty-five
miles, while the body OF Hamilton
must have travelled fully twenty miles
before it was discovered on Sundaf
morning about ten o'clock. There il
little telling how far either would have
gone down the stream but for tho
search of the Lehigh men, as the dail
being cold dreary and rainy therS
