AN EFFICIENT
INSTITUTION N
TREATMENT FEA-
TUREs YEARLY REPORT OF
oTTUMWA HOSPITAL.

The report of the Ottumwa hospital
for the year ending July l, 1910, which
has just been returned from the print
er, tells few things that are of inter-
est to persons who watch the high
character of this institution. A feature
that stands out prominently in the re-
port is the fact that it takes much to
sustain the hospital and there is a
need for help to enable the work to be
carried on for the attainment of the
high aims for humanity's good that
are the end Of the associations ell
deavors. There are shown receipts
amounting to $17,07447. with an ex-
penditure of $16,656.4s in the financial
report. The operations performed at
the hospital show a high degree of ex-
cellence in the success of the surgical
department of the institution. One in
stance in the report is in cases Of ap-
pendicities operated upon. Out of "a
cases, 80 were cured and but one died.
In all there were 737 patients treated
during the year. Hospital days are
shown to have been 1896; days OF hos
pital service were 7,716, and days Of
gratutitous service numbered 1920. Out
Of the 1877 patients treated there were
81 deaths and 652 cured.

Achsah McHenry, wife Of Judge Will
liam H. McHenry of the Polk county
district court. died at the family resi-
dence. 29O1 Rutland avenue, at
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
An abdominal cancer from which
Mrs McHenry had been suffering for
more than a year, caused her death.
Since last January. when an operation
was performed at hospital in Rol
chester, Mimi, for the relief of her
trouble, Mrs. McHenry's condition has
been regarded as hopeless and her
death considered but matter OF
months or weeks.
Mrs. McHenry was one OF the most
prominent club women in Des Moines.
She was not only former officer In
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, but was prominently connected
with the state organization of the P. E.
o. sisterhood and the Des Moines
Women's club.
The funeral services will be held
from the family residence at 2:30
o. clock Tuesday afternoon. The var.
tous divisions of the district ccNrt will

tion will attend the services in a body.

NINE ELECTION
HELD TOMORROW
JOHN p. WHITE IoWAN WHO is
CANDIDATE 70 SUCCEED LEWIS
GIVEN SUPPORT.

Chicago, Dec. 12-Thirteen an un-
lucky number? Not for John P. White
of Oskaloosa. Ia, candidate for prcsi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America. Thirteen is Whites lucky
number. The annual election Of the
United Mine Workers Is to be held
Tuesday, Dec. 13.
He is president Of the Iowa district
of the miners, officially catalogued as
district No. 13. He was born June 13
1859, and he says that flumeral mas
played prominent part in his career.
He lives at 13 Fast High street and
was nominated by 1900 locals.
Duncan Mcdonald, secretary of the
Illinois district. said that White would
carry this state by 10000 majority, as
the Illinois men have not forgotten the
compromise agreement which Presl-
dent Lewis tried to force them to ac-
cept last summer.
"NVhite will have such lead in Illi-
nois and Iowa." said Mcdonald. that
he can afford to lose Ohio and the
anthracite district and still be elected
by large majority"
The insurgent slate is White for
president, Frank S. Hayes Of Spring
field for vice president and William
Green Of Ohio for secretary. The
organization has Lewis for president,
e. s. Mccullough of Michigan for vice
president and Edwin s. Perry Of Iowa
for secretary.

IN
FAVOR OF STRIKE
VOTES ARE COUNTED AND RE-
SUIT WILL BE GIVEN TO RAIL.
MANAGERS TO-DAY.

Chicago, Dec 12.-Counting Of the
strike ballots in the referendum vote
of locomotive engineers employed on
sixty-one western railroads was COM
plered yesterday. The result showed
that 1882 per cent of those who voted
favor a strike unless the demands for
higher wages are granted.
More than 10000 votes we're cast
out Of membership OF 80, 700 engin-
GERS. The result will be reported to
the railroad general managers today.
A conference will be held at time
and place to be designated by the rail-
road officials.

After the result of the vote is an

FAST RAINS
TO Be CHANGED
NOS. 9 AND 10 ON BURLINGTON
WILL NOT. RUN TO DENVER
ON NEW SCHEDULE.

The shortening of the fast through
trains, Nos. 8 and 10 on the Burlington,
is one of the things slated to happen
when the new card is issued by the
road December 1S. The two runs
which have been so popular for sew
eral months past, will be placed on a
winter schedule and terminate their
western route at Oxford Junction, Neb.,
at present the next passenger terminal
to Denver. This will take the trains
farther west than old No. 13, the train
which No. 9 succeeded, as it stopped at
Lincoln. The change will not. how
ever, make either train any the less
fast but rather faster as regards No.
10. The new card is not yet issued
but is expected to come out next Sum
day when the change will be made on
the two trains. No. will continue to
run if plans are not changed between
now and Sunday, at the usual time.
No. 10, however, undergoes a change
in schedule and Is shortened west OF
Ottumwa. East Of here the time is
heightened and a little more time is
given this train which is now quite
fast, to arrive at Burlington and Chi
cago. The new card is expected to
bring No. 10 into Ottumwa sixteen
minutes earlier than at present and
will arrive heresat 700 a. m. instead
of 7:16 a. m. 1t will arrive in Bur-
lington and Chicago at the same time
as is effective now.
The Chicago & Northwestern will
make similar changes on their road,
and the Rock Island has already made
reductions of one train each between
Chicago and Denver.
The effect will be curtailing Of a
part Of the Chicago and Denver serv.
ice through the winter months, when
passenger travel is at it's lightest.
There are number of other good
trains on the Burlington. now running,
which will be continued in operation,
and will handle the business in good
shape.

FIRM SUED BY CITY.
Mccarty Improvement Co. Made De-
fendant in Law Suit on
Contract

Because the McCarty Improvement
Co. is alleged to have not lived up to
its contract with the City Of Ottumwa,
suit has been fled with the clerk of
court claiming s1,552.32 as due the
city from the defendant firm. The
breach of contract alleged by the city
is that of the Market street paving,
which contract was made with the
paving firm August 23, 1904 to run
seven years. 1t will be remembered
that last summer during a severe rain
storm, much of the paving Of Market
street between Fourth and Fifth
streets was washed out The lack of
attention to the work of maintaining
the paving under the contract is the
charge made by the city.

ROLLER
REPORTS GOOD
YEAR FOR BANKS \ \ K
LOANS AND DISCOUNTS REACH
FIGURES THIS YEAR NEVER BE-
FORE EQuALLED; DEPOSITS
DOUBLED IN TEN YEARS.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 12.-Another
year of prosperity and solid growth for
American banks Is recorded in the
annual report of the comptroller OF
the currency, presented to congress
today. Not only the national banks,
which come directly under the control
and supervision Of the currency
bureau are included in the compre-
hensive review of banking conditions,
but state banks, savings banks, trust
companies and other financial institu-
tions, some 1880 others are repre-
sented.
During the fiscal year of 1910, the
combined resources of the 1000 ma
tional banks Of the United States grew
to approximately $1,000,000,OOO. on
September 1, last, their loans and dis
counts had reached the immense sum
of $5,4OO, 900 OOO-aIi amount never be-
fore equalled in the history of the ma
tional system since it's creation IN
1854 At the same time they were
counting nearly $30,000,000 OF over
drafts in their assets, a practice which
there is no law to stop. S
Deposits Double in Ten Years.
Combining all other banks in the
United States and it's island possess
sicns with those of the national sys-
TEN and allowing an estimate for
those not reported, it is evident from
the comptroller's report that the bank
ing power. of the nation has grown in
the last ten years from 1897 Of all
sorts of banks, with capital Of $1,15O,-
900, OOOO. and individual deposits Of $7,-
6ss,Oo0, 900, to more than $4,000 banks
with combined capital close to $4,000
100000 and individual deposits OF
nearly SIG, 6,O0O, 900 900, The deposits
have more than doubled In little more
than a decade. and In the same time
the combined loans and discounts
have grown to more than $4,000, ,OOO,-
900.
On the whole, it apepars from the
report that national banking con-
servatively conducted is a profitable
enterprise The net earnings OF the
1000 national banks during the year
were more than $154.00O,000, from
which dividends Of $1O5, 100000 were
paid at the rate of more than 10 per
cent on their capital. The government,
too, has profited from the existence OF
the national association for since their
beginning it has received more than
1902, ,OOO, 600 of which more than 81 per
cent has been for circulation tax on
the bank notes they issue.

POSTAL DEFICIT
GREATLY REDUCED
POSTMASTER HITCHCOCK INsaEs
E PoRTYsAYs TfIlssw IN, SPITE
OF HIoHER WAaEs. s Il

Washington, D. G., Dec. IA year
ago the fiscal records OF the postal
service disclosed a deficit OF $17,500,-
900, the largest in the history of the
country. In twelve months a reduc-
tion Of $11,5oo,0OO has been made in
this deficit, the excess of expenditures
over receipts as reported for the year
ended June 80 last amounting to only
$5.S48,566.S8.
This is one of the showings made in
the annual report of Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock
"The departments present policy, as
already indicated, Is to extend the
service as rapidly as is warranted by
increasing population" says the re-
port, and to accomplish its savings.
not by the curtailment OF postal
facilities, but by handling in more
systematic and businesslike manner
the constantly expanding volume OF
the mails In furtherance Of this
policy there were established during
the year over 1900 new postofic ces,
while the rural delivery system was
greatly extended by putting into
operation 515 new routes. traversing
altogether 1925 miles.
mot only were these numerous ap-
pointees placed on the rolls, but the
department made liberal increases in
the compensation of employees in the
service. About $1,750.000 was expended
in advancing the salaries of postofflce
clerks, while the compensation Of city
letter carriers was raised to the ex-
tent Of 81 ,226,000. Railway mall clerks
received increases of salary aggre-
eating nearly $25O,0OQ.
Urges Magazine Increase.
"Under present conditions an in
crease In the postage on reading mat
ter is not recommended. Such an in
crease would place a special burden on
a large number of second class publi-
cations, including educational and
religious periodicals. that derive little
or no profit from advertising.
For these publications, and also
for any other legitimate reading mat
ter in periodical form. the depart
ment favors continuation Of the
present low postage rate of cert a
pound, and recommends that the pro-
posed increase In rate be applied only
to magazine advertising matter.
'1n view Of the vanishing postal
deficit It is believed that If the maya
zines could be required to pay what 1t
costs the government to carry their
advertising pages the departments
revenues would soon grow large
enough to warrant cent postage on
first class mail.
