HATS ARE TAHooEp.
Prominent Residents Of Webster City
Organize Unique Club.

Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City, Aug. 30-The latest
thing in Webster City is a Hatless
Club. The unusual heat of the past
week resulted in it's formation. o. j.
Henderson, a we]l-known local attor-
ney. started the fad and it's popularity
was almost instantaneous, resulting in
a real live HatleSs Club.
The members wear no headgear
Whatsoever Whether it be cloudy or
lclear, hot or cool. no one is allowed to
wear a hat. Persons who have tried it
for several days like the fashion so
we'll that they become enthusiastic over
1T and 1t is spreading rapidly. OF
course there are those who ridicule It,
These say that most of the members
are exposing their pates to the air in
the hope that the rays of the sun
will cause two hairs to grow where
formerly there was but one. Thus far,
however, this has not affected the pop
ularity of the club. The members ex-
pect to go hatless till about Oct. 1, or
such time as the weather begins to
grow perceptibly COOL endangering
colds.

Webster City, Aug. 30.-Telephone
mergers seem to be the order of the
day in Iowa. The Bell interests have
recently absorbed the independents in
Dubuque, Cedar Rapids Marshalltown
and Des Moines and 1T will not be long
before merger will be announced in
Webster City. Whether the Bell will
absorb the Martin independently, how
ever, or the Martin absorb the local
and rural Bell lines is question which
has excited no small amount of inter-
est. But it looks as tho in either event
patrons will have to swallow a dose
they have not been used to-the cut
ting off of free service within the coun-
ty.
There have been indications for soma
time that negotiations are on here be-
tween the Bell and Martin companies.
The announcement of f. H. Martin
two months ago that he expected to
dispose of his interests here and move
to Minneapolis was ample indication
that the Bell would absorb his COM
pany. But the fact that as yet he has
made no move toward leaving lends
color to the belief that he will pur-
chase local Bell interests. Neither
company will make statement. Mar
| tin, however, frankly admits a deal is
pending but will not say whether he is
buying or selling.
The Bell company's local exchange is
much smaller than Martins. Besides
his local exchange Martin owns many
miles of toll wires in Iowa. In order
| to compete with him the Bell COM
pany gives it's patrons free service tc
all points in the county over ruca
lines into the Bell exchange. 1t is
learned upon the best authority thai
when one company announces it's alb
sorption of the other-regardless o.
which does the absorhing-the merged
concern will cut out all free service .lnt
a raise in rural rates need not cause
any surprise. t

COTTAGE DYNAMITED
WITH FATAL RESULTS
One Negro Killed Outright
and Another Fatally
Wounded.

A cottage near the Heading sacto-
ry IN Hope, which was occupied by
negroes, was dynamited Wednesday
morning at about 2 80 o'clock by
un known parties, resulting in
wrecked building, one negro, named
Hill, killed; one named Charlie
Bowen fatally injured, and several
others badly injured.
The officers are at work on the
case, but have no trace of the parties
who did the work. 1t is alleged that
short time before the explosion a
bout twenty men were seen going ia
the direction ofthe Heading factory,
but no one paid any attention to
them at the time.
Governor Donaghey has offered
reward of 5000 for the arrest and
conviction Of the parties.
The affair is supposed to have
grown out of labor trouble between
employees and the management of
the factory. 1t was advertised some
weeks ago by the management of
tho factory, that negro labor would
be employed If the white employees
did not cease causing strife and
trouble, and short time ago these
negros were employed at the works.
This is one of the largest plapts of
The kind In the southwest and EN-
employed ABOUT 275 hands.
