WITH THE WRESTLERS.

After two pOstponements in the last

met on the mat here, it was an
nounced that Chief Montour, the

Collias here some time ago, would
again meet the wild man on Friday,

Monday April II. This time the

Another change is made in the pro

popent, Montour being unable to fill
the date.
Since his appearance here Mona
hon has been all over the country,
meeting some good wrcstlers, and il
is said that he is NOW in better shape
than ever. When he was here the
last time he minated that he woull
go back TO Ireland soCn, but II seems
that he is still making dates in this
country. Mcmahon holds the middle

Collins has been filling some dates

HILL ON THE SOIL

James j. Hill, the railroad magnate,
has forceful way of putting the nee
essity of restoring fertility to the
soil "You can no more take wheat
from the soil continuously than you
can take money out of bank without
making deposits" he declares in max
ing an argument for a study by the
farmer of the relation of the seed to
the soil Mr.. Hill cites comparison
of the wheat yield in this and foreign
countries as an illustration of his
point. He says:
The present average yield of wheat
to the acre in the United States Is
1888 bushels. In England it Is 30
bushels, in Denmark, 50; In the
Netherlands, "a; and in Germany. n.
Yet in none of these countries are
soil and climatic conditions more fav,
orable for raising wheat than in the
greater part of the United States.
The trouble is that there is inexcus-
able carlessness in agriculture and a
blindness to best interests that is
astonishing.
Mr.. Hill believes in the certainty OF
a greatly increased population for the
United States within the coming half
century and problem he holds to be
more pressing than that of the tariff
banking or the trusts is how this in
creased population is to be fed.

SUCH A PARITY!

Mr.. Sparks, candidate for city solic-
itor on the democratic ticket, has
made the statement in confidence to
certain citizens who signed the petit
ton, that it was his personal desire
to sign the recent revocation petition
to close the saloons in Ottumwa, but
that he did not dare to do SO as it
would have been signing his political
death warrant. Do the people want to
align themselves with party which
is SO completely under the domination
of the saloons that member of the
party cannot do what he thinks to be
right? And if candidate will do what
he thinks is wrong in order to gain
the support of any element in his par
ty, don't you think that same element
would control his actions if he were
elected to office? Instead of stating
his views privately, Mr.. Sparks ought
to do what all the candidates on the
Republican ticket are doing, and that
Is state publicly where he stands in
this campaign.

ENTIRE STATE INTERESTED.

The Clinton Herald in IT'S leaulilS
editorial calls attention to the state
wide interest felt in the political cam
paign now in progress in OttumWa'
The Herald says:
"The entire state of Iowa is inter-
ested in the outcome of the effort be-
ing made by the citizens of OttumWa
to overthrow a government when mas
stood for a wide open town.
"a great state will rejoice exceed
ingly when the news is flashed owes
the wires that those standing for law
and order have won at OttumWa.
This bears out the statements made
at the meeting at the armory Tuesday
night by F. G. Orelup. Mr., Orelup
said:
Now, there's another thing that's
dangerous The papers all over the
country are blatant with civic condl-
lions here. There are three classes OF
people who read those papers. First;
the undesirables are always looking
for some place to go. Open towns are
getting scarcer every year and they
flock to the few left, in numbers.
"Second- the manufacturers look
ing for new factory sites, read those
papers. Are they going to move their
plant where lawlessness reigns SUI
preme? Third, thousands of country
people, who have farmed long enough
to retire, read those papers in an Ell
fort to select some city to move to
and spend their declining years and
educate their children Are they go
ing to come here, when Ottumwa has
that kind of a reputation q
The remedy is simple Give Ottum

conditions in Ottumwa and let bet

VISIT immense:
field OF GYPSUM
OTTUMWANS RETURN FROM
SOUTH DAkOTA-WlLL INTER-
EST LOCAL INVESTORS.

Immense fields of gypsum of the
rarest quality, not confined beneath
the surface, but in cliffs and hills
above the level Of the ground, were
the sights that met the eyes of R. R.
RamselI and Thomas Keefe, who
have returned, in company with Geo.
A. Clarke, president Of the Red Can
yon Stucco company, from an eX-
tended business trip to South
Dakota. The Ottumwa gentle
men, who are interested in the
Red Canyon Stucco Co., visited the
northern state representing prospec-
tive investors of this city. The Black
Hills Of South Dakota, in the vicinity
Of Hot Springs and Deadwood, were
visited and thorough investigation
Of the claims of the company, which
owns practically the entire natural
deposits of gypsum In South Dakota,
was made
Gypsum technically is sulphate of
lime, and Is used after having been
pulverized and calcined as plaster of
paris and hard wall plaster, and is
used, perhaps, in greater quantities
day than ever before as the result of
modern building. Gypsum is found to
certain extent in Iowa, and is at
present mined at Fort Dodge, where
the deposits are fast becoming ey-
hausted. There it is taken from the
earth at depth Of seventy feet, after
which it is dried and then prepared
for the market In South Dakota the
deposits visited by the local men are
the only natural deposits of any size
in this part Of the country. In these
deposits the gypsum is declared by
the state school Of mines assayer of
South Dakota as ninety-eight per
cent pure and is found on the surface
in beds from fifteen to seventy-five
feet thick. Mr.. Keefe, who has had
considerable experience in the use of
gypsum and it's advantages, is esthu,
siastic over the northern fields.
The Red Canyon Stucco Co. will in.
terest investors in this enterprise
with the object of building plaster
mill on the property, Mr. Clarke being
here at present in the interests of the
company. He is a former Ottumwa
resident, but is now engaged as an as,
sayer in South Dakota.

SHOOTERS MUST
PAY A LICENSE
WHEN RESIDENT HUNTERS LAW
is ENACTED, GAME WILL
BE MORE PROTECTED,

Sportsmen in Iowa will be required
to pay resident hunters license Of
81 when the measure now before the
legislature becomes effective. AL
though the original bill as prepared by
the state organization of sportsmen
has been ripped out Of all semblance
to its original form, there is little
doubt in the minds of those who are
working for game protection, that the
resident hunters license will become
law. This will be a great move for
ward as a large fund will be created
annually, to be used in carrying out
the provisions Of the fish and game
laws.
In view Of the fact that the original
measure has failed Of passage a bill
has been prepared and introduced
authorizing the seining of certain
kinds of fish along the Mississippi
river and other boundary waters Of
the state, and providing a license fee
therefor.
The bill provides that pound nets
shall not have less than half-inch
bar in the pot, fyke or hook hats not
less than IL inch bar in any part of
the net, gill nets Of not less than
three-inch bar; bait nets without
leads with front hoops not larger than
four feet diameter; the net to be not
more than fifteen feet long.
These nets shall not be used to take
bass, pike and crappies.
The other provisions of the bill are
much the same as those framed by
the recent convention of sportsmen
held at Dubuque.

SALOON QUESTION RESTS WITH
Tile GOIIRT

The whole saloon business is now
in the hands of the court.
Everybody knows that
If the petition before the court has
sufficient signatures there will be no
saloons whether Captain Emery or
Phillips be elected.
Everybody knows that.
If the petition before the court is
not found to have sufficient sigma
lures, then the saloons may open, AMI
neither Captain Emery nor Phillips
can prevent it.
Everybody knows that.
In other words voting for Emery or
Phillips has nothing to do with the
saloons opening or not opening, be.
cause the mayor has nothing to say
in the matter.
The mulct tax will be paid the city
just the same which ever man is elect.
ed, If the court decides that the sa,
looms can open-that is it will be paid
II the mayor enforces the mulct tax
law. Captain Emery will enforce this
law.
The city cannot collect mulct tax
no matter which man is elected if the
court finds the petition to have a suffi
Gent number of signers. Therefore
the increased tax or decreased tax sc
far as the saloons are concerned is
not an issue in this campaign
And everybody who stops to think
knows that.
If Captain Emery is elected and the
saloons run, they will be compelled tc
live up to the law. Open gambling
will cease and the lawless element
will no longer run the town
Has the present administration tries
to stop the bootlegging business?
Do they fool anyone by saying they
believe in law enforcement?
Captain Emery is not biennia
candidate for the place. Captain En-
cry is no crank, but he is not a be
