Alderman Crisman, last night,
brought to the attention of the city
council the necessity of drafting new
building and plumbing ordinance in
Ottumwa. Under the present building
ordinance most any sort Of q building
can be erected and the city's only re-
course is to tear such buildings down
as do not conform to the ordinance.
There is need for building regulations
in Ottumwa, especially governing the
down town districts, and the new
ordinance should be modelled after the
best that govern other progressive
cities Of Ottumwa's size.

is a greater benefactor than he who

and beating. with horse CT his own

to be.

a fifth cousin. ought to have suited
Miss Betty as well as he did her
elders. But she had In full the family
inclination for her own way-more-

sight betwixt her and Joe Desha. They
had met half dozen times, yet were
betrothed. 1t was Betty's own doing
speaking out to the colonel. She had
not said word to Joe-in the strength
Of loyal love she meant to spare him
humiliation, since she knew he was
coming soon to speak for himself.
Seems like you'd have more pride
than even to speak to one OF that

wrathfully.
Betty shifted harder. 81 don't know

back, and though she still smiled

The colonel ought to have needed

gripped her arm, saying hoarsely as
he pushed her toward the stairway:
You'll go to your room and stay
there under lock and key-untn you

him, wrenching herself free.

SMALL BOY USES MATCH
Fire In the Home Of Thomas Faulds
Does Slight Damage This

An alarm turned in at 1890 p. m.
today from Thomas Faulds, 107
South Madison avenue, proved to be
a flre of slight consequence in point of
fire damage although smoke wrought
considerable cost to the occupants OF
the house. Mrs. Faulds In speaking OF
the fire stated that she supposed that
her son. Truman, aged 6 years, had
probably caused the Are. The boy WAS
the only person in the family who was
upstairs in the house this morning, and
his mother thought he had struck q
match and lighted the lace curtains.
When noticed by Mrs. Faulds the
smoke was pouring out OF the upper
floor OF the house. The damage found
to have been done after the fire was
extinguished was to the lace curtains,
window shade and woodwork about
the window in the room where the fire
was located.
