WAY TO SAVE COAL BILL.
Mason City Men Invent New De-

An invention of a new heating
system for residences has just been
patented by Ira Knapp and w. H.
Gogle, of Mason City. Nine of the
boilers in connection with the new
system have been tested in residenc-
es here this winter and have sus-
tanned the severe tests. Twenty-Five
dollars worth of fuel for seven to
ten room house has proven the linn
it of expense for coal by the use of
the new system. One heated an
eight room house during the winter
at cost of Sill.
The boiler is made in sections,
each section not unlike in shape to
an inverted horseshoe. The char
acter of the iron put in, it's shape.
which makes it practically everlast-
ing and the ease with which it is
operated, has made it one of the
most popular heating devices ever
tried here.-Mason City Globe-Ga-

THOMPSON WINS MATCH.
Chica9Oan Wins Three Falls From
Alfred johnson of Madison
Township. Another Match
Tomorrow Night.

The wrestling match at Ru-
dolph's hall on Friday evening was
witnessed by quite a large crowd,
all of whom were well pleased with
the splendid exhibitions of wrest-
ling. Besides the main bout there
were matches between the falls by
some of the boys of the city who
have been under the training of D..
A. Mcmillan, and these were almost
as interesting as the main match.
In the main event T. Thompson of
Chicago was TO throw three times
in an hour of actual wrestling any
one of three men who might be
picked by Mcmillan, among his
pupils. He selected Alfred john
son of Madison township, and he
gave a good account of himself,
making Thompson work every min
ute to win the match. Johnson is
a strong, we'll built man, and a good
wrestler. He is a conner. Thomp-
son had much the advantage in
weight, and is much more expert
enced, and threw him in IL, 6 and
6 minutes, respectively. winning the
match
Another match has been arranged
for Thursday night of this week,
at the same place. Thompson agrees
to throw Alfred Thompson and Har-
ry Bucknell, each twice in an hour
of actual wrestling. Bucknell is
fully as good man or better than
Johnson, and it promises to be a
very close contest. There will also
be interesting preliminaries.
