OLDEST MASON IN IOWA.
William Round, of Washington, Has
Been Member Since 1645.

Washington. June 27.-Several ar
ticles in state papers have appeared
and give accounts Of the oldest mem
Der Of the Masonic fraternity in Iowa.

tory, or not enough, for we have as a
resident in Washington, the Oldest
member Of the fraternity in the state,

has been a member Of the Masonic
order for sixty-five years.
Mr.. Round was born in Wooster

moved to Ripley county, Indiana, in
1880. He was made a Mason in June,
1916, in Napoleon lodge, No. 10, at that
place. The following were the officers
at that time: David Idndley, w. NJ;
John L. McKasson, 8. W.; Aaron Pull
yer, J. W.; and Miles Mendenhal, sec
|retary
He moved to Washington county, In
this state, in the spring Of 1856 and at
once affiliated with Richmond lodge
No. 80, located at that time in Rich
mond, and served in that body, faith
fully, fllling many Of the important Of
fees. In August, 1895. he moved to
Washington, bringing his membership
to Washington lodge. No. rs, Mr.. Round

Margaret, Daughter Of Of Mr.. and Mrs
Ed seberu, Seriously Sick.
Margaret, aged Z, the daughter Of Mr.
and Mrs. Edward D. Seberg, 613 West
Linn street, is seriously sick Of cerebro
spinal meningitis, following an illness
Of a week during which time 1t was
impossible to determine the exact ma
turc of the disease. Cultures from
both the brain and the spine were
taken Sunday, and examination which
showed the trouble to be cerebro spinal
meningitis. Flexner serum was inject
ed at once, and second injection was
made this afternoon. The childs con-
dition this morning was improved COM
pared with Sunday morning before the
serum was used the first time.
A puzzling feature Of the case Is the
constant discharge from one Of the
nostrils, which, to the physicians in
terested in the case. is an entirely new
symptom in the disease. It indicates,
the physicians say. an abscess of the
head or brain which nature is draining.

ENDOWMENT ROW SETTLED.
Wesisyan University to Come Into
Possession Of $4,000.

WooIOyan Untv0f0ity TO Como INTO
Possession Of $4,000.
Mount Pleasant. June 27.-At an i'm
portant conference held at Peoria, Ill.,
Friday. the last chapter in the Ger
man college endowment matter was
finished. AS a result of the negotia-
ton there between President E. A..
Schell Of Iowa Wesleyan University of
this city and a committee representing
the German College at Warrenton, Mo-,
Iowa Wesleyan's share Of the German
college endowment Is to be $4,000.
such sum to be in the form of first
mortgage securities and to be turned
over without any conditions what
ever. The German College receives
SIS, 900 on the same terms.
This is the same division which the
arbitrating bishops announced two
weeks ago, but at that time they added
condition that the money which was
to be given to Iowa Wesleyan. was to
be deposited with the general church
trustees at Cincinnati, while the money
which was given to the German Col
lege was given outright. Iowa Wesley
an Representatives refused, to accept
this award. claiming that it was undue
discrimination and notified each Of
the arbitrating bishops and the Ger
man College trustees that unless all the
money was placed in the hands of the
trustees at Cincinnati or given out
right to both institutions alike. suit
would at once be entered for the en-
tire sum.
Since that time numerous confer
ences have been held between the in
terested parties eliminating in the
meeting at Peoria Friday, at which
time the above agreement was reached.
The entire trouble over the German
College endowment started two years
ago when the German College with
drew from Iowa Wesleyan and affill-
ated with a similar German institution
at Warrenton. Some $31.500 was in
volved and since that time there has
been a constant effort to adjust the
difficulty over the distribution of this
money. The matter was arbitrated be-
fore a board Of three bishops and a
verdict announced last August the
Germans objected to the award and
after many months of correspondence
and conferences, second award was
announced few weeks ago. This was
rejected by the Iowa Wesleyan people
and the matter has been finally set
tied at the conference at Peoria Fri
day.

DRouTH DESTROYING FISH.
Low Water in North Iowa Streams
Destructive to Einny Tribe.

Low Water in North Iowa Streams
Destructive to Finny Tribe.
Mason City, June 27.-The fish, in
habiting the rivers and creeks of this
section Of the country. are dying by
the hundreds, on account of the low
ness Of the water The banks Of Lime
creek are lined with dead fish and the
reports from surrounding sections
show that like conditions are existing
turnout northern Iowa.
The scarcity of fish has been sub
ject Of question among Mason City
residents Of late, and the reasons for
the scarcity have been asked for.
Lime creek is lower this spring than
it has been for years during this per-
iod. AS a result of this lowness OF
the water the waters have become
stagnant, causing the dying Of the
fish. The waters of Lime creek are
not flowing with sufficient force and
rapidity to carry away the refuse and
sediment which thus gathers at the
bottom, causing this stagnancy. The
sewers at this point empty into the
creek and are left by the slow flow
ing waters. These things contribute
to the Ill health OF the fish and are
causing their death at a rapid rate.

An active and rapid fire campaign to

installation Of sixty Ornamental street
lights, to illuminate Main street from
Third avenue to Second street, is to be
jbegun early Tuesday morning. Five
committees, one for each block, WILL

The special committee, of which S.
w. LaShelle, is chairman, with James

other members, and the directors OF the
club have selected the committees
which will do the work.
Committee For Each Block.
These committees for each of the five
blocks are as follows:

Hope To Work Rapidly.
Because the tenants in most cases
can be more readily and quickly reach
ed than the landlords of the business
buildings. pressure is to be brought on
1.-THE tenants first. 1t is realized that
tthe tenant in most cases would have
more influence with the owner of the
building than the committees. The SEN
timent is quite generally in favor Of
the lights, and it is hoped that sigma
lures to the contract will be secured
quickly as the city's contract with
Jones & Hovey provides that the posts
Unjust be erected and the lights INSTALL
ed by Aug. g..
With six lights to the block and fig
turing on the estimate secured for the
posts, the assessment for each twenty
foot business front will be about $36.
