Cedar Rapids Republican: The
piece of statuary that Iowa has con
tributed to the national hall of fame,
also called the hall OF horrors, has
aroused the ire and the ridicule of
the New York Sun. Of all the effigies
of statesmen that have been set up in
that hall, the Iowa contribution is
said to be about the worst. 1t must be

DR.. Stafford, in turn, introduced the
first speaker of the evening, Rev. R.

marks, said: THE reason why | am
in favor of the brotherhood movement
is because the women and children

want a place in the great movement

Main Works Inclosed in Small Room
Under Lock and key--ls Not Un-
like Ye Grandfather's Clock of Ye
OIden Time Perfect Time Piece.

To ascend the cupOla OF the court
house and look at the workings OF the
big clock recently installed is well worth
the labor and time it takes. For be it
known it means the limbing of several
fights of stairs to reach the main work
ings OF the clock, and then going up
three sets of ladders to reach the big bell,
located in the upper reaches of the
cupola. From the main works of the
clock to the bell is 81 feet six inches, and
the cupOla il q large room % feet square.
The striking weight of the clock weighs
900 pounds, and the running weight
drops the scales at 800 pounds. These
weights pass down through a boxing,
the first named going to the first floor Of
the building. The clock is wound once
week, and to pull these heavy weights up
with crank is job to try the strength
OF d muscular man.
The main works are enclosed in
small room built around them, with a
door under lock and key, albeit windows
cate workings without going inside.
Stepping inside this room, which is large
enough to admit two or three persons,
is like lilliputian stepping inside the
castings OF watch and making a critical
examination of the cOgs, wheels, illumi-
mating regulator, and all and singular
the mechanical giant under inspection.
The pendulum hangs down nine feet
through the flooring in this little room,
swinging back and forth not unlike ye
grandfather 8 clock Of ye olden time, to
which hangs a big ball weighing SO
pounds.
The dial on the west side is slightly
damaged, showing the hole through
which the bullet passed when some On8
attempted last week to destroy the
works. 1t was a cowardly and bastard
Iy piece of business. As good fortune
would have it no damage was done ex-
cept to slightly shatter the dial, but the
wicked intent Of the culprit is manifest
just the same. Sheriff Carter said be
would give $50 to get mis- hands on the
wretch.
The big clock is regulated ss easily
and is no more trouble than an ordinary
clock would be, save the pulling up Of
the heavy weights by crank once

The farm was too lonely. So thought
Roy Phipps, the IA year-old lad of
OakesdaIe, arrested last week for shoot
ing into a crowd of boys while under the
influence Of liquor. He was arrested
and brought to Colfax. E d. Edredge,
OF the county auditors office, who lives
on farm five miles east of town, offered
to take Phipps, thinking it better than
to send him TO the reform echool. Judge
Garfield willingly suspended sentence and
the boy was taken TO the farm. He
staid one night. 1t was too lonesome.
He asked to be taken back to the county
jail that he might go to the reform
school. Of course he is now in the re
form school. 1t seems strange that a
good home, with plenty, independence
and honor in sight, should be cast aside
for the uncertainties of life to be found
in a reform school. 1t would be inter
esting to know something OF the boys
ancestry, environment, early training, if
he ever had any. The future of young
Phipps looks dark and fOreboding.
