FIRM WILL ADD NEW
SHINING PARLORS
Wilson & Ferrell, Poprietors Of
News Stand, viii Conduct
New Business.

4 Ii.la q Z F, < & y
Wilson & Terrell, proprietors Of
the news stand, are going to install
shoe shining parlor when they get
moved into their new quarters in
the Wilson building, which has been
undergoing repairs for some time.
BY the way their new quarters will
be very nice. A new and much bet
ter front Is being put in and the
place fixed up in good shape.
The shining parlors they expect
to put in will be the finest Of the
kind in this city. In the larger
cities the price for shoe shining is
I'VE cents, but here 1t has always
been ten cents. However, the news
dealers think they can shine at
metropolitan prices and still make
good profit and they will probably
adopt the nickle q shine rate. AS
soon as the new location is ready
for them, Messrs Wilson & Terrell
will move into their building and
will at once install two new shoe
shining chairs of the latest model.
They intend to keep the necessary
helpers to- attend to this part Of the
business in first-class manner.

Champions Of State.

The football championship Of the
state OF Iowa was settled Friday
at Iowa City, The state champions
are the east high school team OF
Des Moines. This fast aggregation
have lost but one game this season
and that was with the Lincoln, Me-
braska, team. The score Of this game
was II to 0 in favor Of the Nebras-
ka eleven. However, as that bunch
we're not, in Iowa the defeat receiv-
ed from them by the Des Moines
club did not spoil their chances for
the state cup. At the recent game
between the locals and the east end
ers of the capital city the score was
as to 0 in favor Of Des Moines. Al
though some OF the spectators con-
sidered this one sided the Webster
City squad made very creditable
showing against Des Moines. Dur
ing the first four games played by
the champs. the locals made the best
showing and held them down better
than any OF their previous oppon-
ents.

tuosity is Incredible. His biggest
cards were a number of List pieces,
which he wisely put at the end Of
the program. Here he was fully N

and domestic, have stated that the
present great List centenary cele-
bration throughout the world would
not have been practicable but for
CAM. who as pianist means so
much to the traditions of the mas

but it would only have been by driv-
ing to the side Of the road where
a temporary track has been formed
by the travelling public during the
past couple Of months. The super
visors and the cement contractor all
declare that barriers have repeated
ly been put up to turn travel in
that direction so as to prevent just
such accidents, but as often as they
have been erected the barriers have
been torn down and the lumber car
ried away by some persons un-

Never Said It.

Jewell Record: Last week Web
ster City newspaper printed story
concerning the Wilson auto acci-
dent between Jewell and Kamrar in
which the statement is made that
the board OF supervisors Of Hamil-
ton county are charging that the
auto driver drove out Of his way to
strike the ditch" across the road.
and also are charging other negli-
gence on the part OF the auto party.
and that therefore the board will
strenuously fight any effort to col
lect damages from the county.
When the story was shown to w.
D. Bonner and H. T. Wilson. OF
Jewell, two Of the three members OF
the board Of supervisors, both siren
uousiy denied having INDUCED in
any such talk. The hole. made BY
. washout OF the grade. not by re-
moval OF bridge as all the Webster
city papers reported, was squarely
in the middle OF the road. and the
auto did not have to go out OF Its
way to run into 1t. Moreover. the
two members of the board referred
to declare that they have not made
any claims to the contrary. No
damage suit had then been filed and
the members OF the board are not IN
the habit OF crossing bitches until
bitches are to be crossed. The auto

NOT GOOD
AS PAVING BRICK
That is What the Engineer Of the
Town Of Gary, Indiana,
Says in Letter.

A prominent Webster City man
who is interested in the question of
paving wrote to the city engineer Of
Gary, Indiana, few days ago, as
follows:
81 understand your city has sew
eral streets that have been paved
with concrete Will you tell me
just how you like them and have
they proven to be the best street
paying for the money that you could
get? Our city has used brick here
tofore, but expect to use concrete
il it is found to be the cheaper and
the equal of brick. We do not have
paving brick factory or a cement
factory to favor, so that it is simp-
ly question of which is the most
economical considered from each and
every standpoint"
To this inquiry the city engineer
Of Gary replied as follows:
''In answer to your inquiry of Me
18th inst, will state that the Coz
crete pavement has not proved to be
the best street paving for the money
expended, and has not proved to be
the equal Of brick. Trusting that
this information will be satisfactory.
Yours truly,
c. A. Williston, City Engineer.
