INTERESTING FACTS.
ottumwa Merchants Will Meet Any
Quotations of Mail Order

Concerns.
Your attention is called to the an
nouncement of the McGavic Lumber
Co. on page s Of this issue. In this
you will find quotations on panel
doors and windows which meet the
quotations Of catalogue houses. When
you ruy from Ottumwa lumber men
they will sell you staple line OF
stock goods, at little less than you
pay catalogue house, and at the
same time you see the goods you buy
before paying for them. Also you
save the freight and the trouble of
writing and buying money order,
which must accompany an order when
you buy from any catalogue house.
Many people have an idea, after look
Ing at beautifully illustrated cata.
!ogues, that they can buy from these
concerns goods cheaper than you can
from your home merchant. This idea
Is not borne out by the advertise
ments of the local merchants, who
meet any quotation which you can
pick out from any mail order cata-
logue. There is another important
matter to keep before you, in con-
aection with your purchasing from

wish credit, the same will be extent
I'd to you. This will not be done in

FEAST IN THE CLOUDS.

Amateur BaIIoonist Will Entertain
Party at Luncheon Up AIoft.
A limited number of invitations is to
be issued by G. G. Fisher of Indian
apolis for perhaps the most novel en-
tertainment ever given in the United
States. He is arranging for luncheon
in the clouds. and his invitations are to
be sent to party Of six or seven who
he thinks will enjoy the event
The luncheon will be given in the
basket of giant balloon in charge Of
himself and G. L. Bumbaugh, a pro-
fessional aeronaut. Fisher was instru-
mental in having the Aero Club of
America select indianapolis as the
starting point for the great national
balloon race on June next.
A large balloon belonging to Bum
baugh will be used for the event. The
basket will accommodate eight per-
sons, and if any of the first timers feel
like eating an elaborate luncheon while
in the clouds the victuals will be be-
fore them. The feast in the clouds
will be given some time in May.

PREHISTORIC SAUSAGE"
Strange Discovery Made In Ancient
Bed Of River.

While some workmen were making
excavations in a new addition in the
northern part Of Columbus Ind, the
other day they found a substance at a
depth Of about six feet which resem-
bled sausage mixed with lard.
The ground had never been disturb
ed within the memory Of any one now
living, and it is believed to have been
the bed of White river at some remote
date. The substance found was soft
and pliable and could easily have been
cut into cakes and fried like latter day
sausage.
One of the workmen had dog with
him, and after the dog had shifted at
the prehistoric substance a few mo-
ments it ate a quantity Of the 'sau-
sage" The dog suffered no Ill effects
and would have taken more had the
man allowed it. The rest of the 'sau-
sage" saved was to be sent to q chem
list to be analysed.

observance Of Wednesday, commemo-
rative day, exercises will be held at
Columbia university, New York univer-
sity, Cooper Union, the University of
st. John and at other educational in
situations in New York and all over
the state as well. Aquatic sports and
contests are also to be features of this
day, with the official dinner to distin-
guished guests to be given in the even
ing. It is expected that this will break
all records for attendance among New
York dinners, the size of the dining
room being the only limitation. More
than 800 guests from outside of New
York city are expected.
The military display will take place
on Thursday, the chief feature of
which will be parade of $4,000 troops
OF the regular army and the national
guard, with sailors from the ships in
the harbor. The naval parade is the
feature for Friday, when the ships, led

Will proceed up the river, shifting the
scene of festivities from New York to
Newburg. At the same time it is pro-
posed a counter procession will leave
Albany for Newburg, where the two
parts of the celebration will unite, the
New York section returning in the
evening.
Saturday, the last day of the dis
tinctly New York city celebration, is
expected to be the greatest day of all
in popular interest. The carnival is
planned for every ones enjoyment, but
particularly the children. The celebra-
ton will eliminate in the evening with
carnival parade, consisting of NOV
ing allegorical tableaux, all the nation
alities represented in New York taking
part. Members of the commission say
it will exceed in beauty and interest
the carnivals Of Europe.
Brilliancy will be added to the gen
eral spectacle by the illumination O.
the fleet and the public and private
buildings and by a pyrotechnic dis
play. All the bridges across the East
river will blaze with fireworks through
out the evening, while at 9 o'clock
chain of signal fires will be lighted on
the mountain tops and other suitable
points along the whole river from it's
source to New York bay.
The rest of the celebration will be
held in the cities up the Hudson, for
which attractive programs are now be-
ing worked out, in most instances TAX
ing the form of an old home week.
