While the cigars we're going the
rounds Toastmaster Clark arose aud
after few general remarks called
on w. T. Wilson to respond to The
History of the Volunteer Police
Force Mr.. Wilson prefaced his re-
marks by stating that he had no fault
to find with the regular police force,
that the chief and patrolmen were all
good men, but that things had come
to pass in Ottumwa where it required
more than a police force to protect
the women Of the city. He briefly
gave the history Of the organization
since it's conception, maintaining
strongly that the aim of the volunteers
was to aid the regular police when
needed and not to interfere with them
nor their officers.
1--WE want men with wives to love
and daughters to educate, to assist in
this movement and those are the very
men we have selected as volunteers.
We're going to stop this lawlessness;
| It. don't make any difference who 1t
elects or who 1t defeats, we're going
to stop it and the suspicious charac'
tiers have got to get We are going to

Postmaster F. A. Nimocks took oc
casion to vehemently emphasize Mr.
Wilson's reference to the mayors
proclamation ordering all vags from,
the city, before he entered upon his
toast, "Interurbans."
Mr.. Nimocks stated that the com
mittee pushing the interurban rail
road question in the city had raised
about $4,000 Of the $4,000 needed tt
begin actual survey work, and tha
there was yet needed $1,000 to star

of the matter better.

Kennedy Gets Guns.

Washington, D. G., Feb. 26.-The
house military committee has decided
to include two cannons for Fort Madi
son in the bill it will report granting
old war weapons to several cities.
Congressman Kennedy has been much
interested in obtaining these trophies

fort after which the town was named.
He was fortunate enough to get two
cannons of rare Napoleon type for
Fort Madison.
