SPIRIT OF The
SEASON MANIFEST
SHOPPERS ARE cRoWDING LOCAL
STORES PURCHASING NUM-
ERoUs CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

The spirit of Christmas Is manifest.
Shoppers are busy; merchants are
busy; Ottumwa is busy; the railroads
are busy; everybody and every bust
ness that has any connection with
Christmas is, busy. Are you busy?
Ottumwa stores are CARRIED In
Christmas attire. Beautiful window
displays are conspicuous part and
remind one Of the approach of Christ
mas, and the days for Christmas shop
ping should not pass unheeded by a
single person. Let all be optimistic
and join in the chorus of Christmas
cheer.
Come out and mingle with the merry
Christmas crowd. Get busy. Be q
live one. There is room for you.
Don't wait another day. BY all means
shop this week. Next week is final
and the rush will be a jam.
It is important to shop this week
from every viewpoint; even from a
selfish viewpoint. If you shop first
you have first choice. II you wait, you
will not have first choice. 1t is up to
you to take your choice. Don't shop
at the last minute and then criticize
the merchant who has sold out OF
some particular thing you had decided
to buy. The article you want is in
stock now. Don't wait until. it is sold
and too late to recorder. The mer-.
chants are doing their part. The
largest assortment of Christmas goods
ever shown in Ottumwa are offered
and many special inducements are dis
played to attract early buyers.
Out of town shoppers are displaying
great wisdom this year by shopping in
advance Of the rush days and many
of them express amazement at the
magnitude of the Christmas stocks OF
the Ottumwa stores.
Anyway, do as much of your Christ.
mas shopping as possible before next
week.

WOMAN FINDS she
| LOVES PIGEONS
MRS. HAWKINS OF DIES MONIES
CANNOT RESIST coolNG OF
PIGEONS; FEEDS THEM.

Des Moil.es, Dec. 13.-One day Mrs.
John w. Hawkins Of East Twentieth
street, started ont to exterminate the
pigeons of her neighbc rhood.
The same day Mrs. Hawkins OF East
Twentieth street, same person pulled
last years bedding out of pigeon nests,
refurnished their winter quarters and
placed large portion of corn at their
disposal Thereby hangs a tale.
For the last six weeks Mrs. Hawkins
has been pestered almost to death by
pigeons. At least that is what she
told Councilman John MlcVicar, when
she planned her wholesale pigeon
slaughter According to h,r story
Mrs. Hawkins dwelling has been made
the roost for all of the pigeons OF the
neighborhood of a radius of many
miles. It was .dis+~acting, to hive SO
much billing and cooling going or under
her caves,
"What shall do. Mr. MacVicar l
Just can not have these pigeons bother
ing me So"
"Why, l do not know answered the
Superintendent of public buildings and
streets rather mystified. They can
not be shot, for no firearms allowed
within the city limits. Just capture
them"
And capture them she did. BY a
clever arrangement she left an attic
window open and threw. corn on the
attic room floor. The scheme worked.
BY a string device the window could
be closed from the outside. The pig
cons followed the corn trail. The
window went shut and the pigeons
were imprisoned.
Then what did you do with the
pigeons. Mrs. Hawkins?' The interest
Of the nearer of the story compelled
the interruption.
WELL" said Mrs. Hawkins, mus
ingly and rather shamefacedly, II let
them all 90 again"
'You don't mean it,"
Eyes. I do, You see it was this
way. When went into the attic, two
of those bothersome pigeons flew so
confidently in my arms and began to
COO so sweetly that just opened the
windows and let them all out. l
guess will have to be a pigeon keeper
this winter. That is all that l can
see before me with my foolish heart"

s Burlington, Dec. 13.-Vice President

Baseball association was visitor In
Burlington yesterday. Mr.. Schoenc

man. He desires to see Quincy re-
leased from the alleged thralldom OF
Central association baseball, but he
does not believe that anything can be
accomplished by an exchange of
personalities calculated to provoke
assault and battery. The movement
on foot at the present time to recon
slider the matter Of taking $4,000 and
permitting that town to be released
from the Central association promises
to result successfully.
We DESIRE said Mr.. Schoeneman,
Sin spite of all reports to the contrary,
to have Quincy make it's exit from the
Central association with the best of
feeling prevailing on both Sides We
admit there has been some acrimoni-
Gus debate on the subject and we re-
greet it. 1t was not necessary and has
no doubt delayed successful negotia-
TONS We do not blame the Central
association for being reluctant to part
with such good territory and we admit
that they should be compensated. We
feel that $4,000 is a fair and square
remuneration. We do not possess I'M
limited capital and do not think it is
fair for the Central association to i'm
pose a hardship on us. We will cheer
fully pay the $4,000 and get out if
permitted, with the kindliest feeling
for the Central association.
we're satisfied to remain in their pres
emit company. we could make baseball
pay a nice return next season, but the
sentiment against it is so pronounced
that the game would be farce and
the other towns in the league would
not make cent in Quincy. In fact.

for what it will bring"

Trapping q Tiaer.


The tiger is possessed at times Of an
almost supernatural cunning. a won
derful sense Of smell and a fine in
stinct with regard TO traps and the
like, which make him as difficult an
animal to take alive as any existing.
Sometimes he can be shared. but not
often. On one occasion the writer's
native Indian servant ran in in a
great state OF excitement to say
tiger was trapped in the jungle half
a mile away. and the entire camp, of
course, at once focked over to see the
prisoner. The trap was exactly on
the principle of humble mouse trap,
with a falling door, and built Of strong
timbers laced together with rattans,
The imprisoned tiger was a full grown
mate, and it would be dihicult TO
imagine anything wilder than his rage
as he roared and stormed and hurled
himself in futile fury on each part Of
the structure in turn. There he was
to stay until hunger had rendered him
manageable. the incident showing that
the tiger can be trapped, although not
often.-London Globe.

An IDOL With Diamond Eyes.

1t is a curious fact and one scarcely
known outside Of Russia. and there
hardly ever mentioned, that the IA
nous Orlofr diamond was once the
right eye Of the great idol Serringham
in the temple of Brahma. This pre-
cious gem was stolen at about the be-
ginning Of the eighteenth century by a
French soldier who had made a pre-
tense of being converted TO the Hindoo
religion in order to gain the confidence
of the priests and admission to the
temple. The FTenchman first sold the
diamond for $1,000 On the next turn
it was bought by a banker Of Con-
stantinople for $4,000. The banker
kept it until 1774 and then sold it TO
the Russian empress for $4,000 and
a life pension. The gem has been in
the Russion royal family ever since.
AS 1t is now set in the imperial scepter
OF Russia it presents a fattened, rose
cut surface and weighs exactly 194la
carats.

HAVE A CLUE
TO HIGH PRICES
Senate Committee Finds Out
About Relations Between
Merchants and
Manufacturers

WASHINGTON, April LIN the
search for the cause Of the present
high cost of living, the Senate inves-
tigators believe that they have at least
one cleu in the testimony given by
officers OF the Southern Wholesale
Grocers' Association. It points TO
manufacturers working through or
ganlzations of wholesale and retail
dealers as upholders OF unreasonably
high prices
The testimony before the commits
sion yesterday showed that while the
Southern association had only six hum
dred members il compiled and printed
a list Of 1900 wholesale dealers in the
southern field.
II was explained as TO teh southern
association that when a man opened
business with a manufacturer he sign
ed an agreement to stick 20 the regu-
lar prices. If he failed the moral
force Of influence" was brought to bear
but no effort il was said to injure
him in his business.
While these witnesses did not cover
the subject. the general information of
the committee is that the dealer who
is not "regulah" finds, in such cases,
that he does not get any more goods.
