James S. Johnson, an experienc-
cd blacksmith, recently of Emmetts-
burg, has bought the l.. c. Gensman
shop on Des Moines street, and open
ed up for business last Saturday.
Mr.. Gensman sold out a few days
ago to Ed Hanson and now Mr..
johnson has purchased the shop and
will continue the business at the
old stand. Mr.. Johnson arrived in
Webster City on Watermelon Day
and has had this place In view as
a location for some time. However.
he could not arrange matters until
Saturday.
Mr.. Gensman sells out on account
of poor health, he having been con-
fined to his homo during the past
few weeks. He is one of the pioneer
blacksmiths of Webster City and 1t
will be a matter of regret among
his many old friends and customers
that he is forced to retire from ac-
tive work.

At Woodstock.

A Freeman-Tribune man spent a
couple Of hours in Woodstock Fri
day on business and was surprised
at the improvements made in the
town during the past two or three
years. Woodstock is one of the best
little towns in this section and is
quite an important business point,
especially as grain market. w. Fl.
vanNote. the rantankerous stand
patter of Fremont township, was in
woodstock talking politics, as usual.
He likes to go to Woodstock to talk
politics, as there are several other
standpatters there and 1t is quite a
treat to him to meet standpatter.
They are SO alfred scarce here IN
Hamilton county that Van must get
outside the county to find congenial
political company.

Honest Labor and High Grad,
Lumber

is all you need 10 build a home that
will defy time itself. Look at some
of the old frame houses that have
been standing right here at home
ever since long before you were
born. That's proof. isn't it? Take
it from US, when you go back on
proven material like this you are
surely tempting misfortune. What
is true of the lumber and workman
ship in these old houses should be
even more likely In house built
today with such improved mill
work as we have and the modern
methods of building used by our
leading contractors. The first thing
to rid your mind Of. however, is not
how cheap but how good, and then
let us talk 1t over with you and
show you the lumber, sash, doors
and trim we furnish. There's no
Place Like Home"

SUCCESS OF PLAY
IS NOW ASSURED
Cast in paul Revere" are Ready for
Dress Rehearsal Elks Play
Oct. 20.

The success of paul Revere" is
assured, as the cast are. all ready
in condition for the dress rehearsal,
which will be held in the armory
next Thursday evening. This play,
which is given under the auspices of
the local Elks, under direction of
John Wilson Dodge, promises to be
one of the best musical entertain
ments of the season.
About forty people will be seen
in the cast Of characters and chorus,
and the costumes, which are car
ried by the director, are said to be
some of the finest that have ever
been seen in the city in this kind of
play. Miss Helen Hulburt, who ar
rived in the city Friday, surpasses
all expectations of the management
of the production. She carries the
leading feminine part in a manner
that will be the cause of many cur
tain calls. Miss Hulburt is a
charming young lady and possesses
one of the sweetest voices that has
ever been heard in the city. The
local "Bills" consider themselves
very lucky in obtaining Miss Hull
burt for leading lady. Miss Cintha
Dodge, daughter Of J. Wilson Dodge,
will also be seen in the cast in the
role of Philis Paxton, part that
was created especially for her. With
these additions to the already
strong local cast the popularity of
the play is assured.
The price Of tickets to the enter
tainment will range from IS cents
to one dollar, aud may be obtained
from any of the local Elks, or at
several of the stores in the city.

A Visit From Peter.

Peter ,Maygard, the balloonist
and merry go-rounder, was on the
war path the other day, according
to a story which has leaked out.
Peter is not the man who was rob-
bed to pay Paul, but he feels that
he has been played several scurvy
tricks of late, and then some. The
Journal has been prone to stick
few pins into Peter and Peter final
ly concluded to call turn. Ac-
cordingly he made visit to the
regions occupied by the aforesaid
Journal and jumped upon the edi-
tor, figuratively speaking, with all
tours, Peter went down the stairs
several steps at a time and when he
entered the door, somewhat uncere-
moniously, "Tuck and Hage" knew
the time for an accounting had ar
rived.
II want to know who is response
BILE for the scurrilous articles
about me that have been appearing
in your sheet the last few weeks"
roared the excited Peter. "Tuck"
hemmed and hawed, ducked and
sidestepped, and lowed the paper
had said nothing derogatory to
the character or good name Of the
famous citizen Of Williams. But
Peter could not see it that way and
he brought his fist down upon the
counter with a resounding whack
that shook the very foundations of
the building and caused Tuck's
knees to crack together like rattle
bones in the hands Of an expert.
Finally Tuck shot out the door to
get a whit or two Of fresh air.
Then Peter glared at Carl, and Carl
looked mildly at Peter. Il want
this here sheet to treat me with
more consideration and dignity
hereafter shouted Peter. At that
particular moment Hage was ready
to promise almost anything and he
assured Peter that all would be we'll
in the future. With this assurance,
Peter withdrew and when Tuck, ;"
who had hid around the corner, saw
the manly frame Of the balloonist
disappear among the multitude
down Second street. he slipped back
into the office to see whether or not
Carl was still monarch OF the stu
alton and was happily surprised to
find that he was.

Is Still Improving.

Friends of the family will be
pleased 70 know that the little son
of Mrs. w. C. Parish, of Security.
Texas, who was so sadly afflicted
with infantile paralysis, is still rap
idly improving. Mrs. Parish is a
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Nee
ly of this city. She came here from
Texas to have her little boy treated
by DR.. Alex. McCracken. When they
arrived here the little fellow was
entirely helpless. They reached this
place on the 9th CT August and the
treatment was begun at once. The
Improvement has been such that the
little one can now run around and
play like anytchild in normal con-
dition. To. say that the parents and
grandparents are delighted hardly
expresses it.
Mrs. Parish says her husband will
probably sell their property in Texas
and they. will make their future
home in this city, they having re-
moved to the Lone Star state for the
benefit of her health, which Is now
much improved. Their old Hamil-
ton county friends will be glad to
welcome. them back.

There was probably never a time
in the history of Webster City when
so many good residences were in
the course of construction as at
present and never time when car
penters were harder to get. The
houses being erected this year are
of the better quality, costing from
$4,000 to $4,000. The demand for
town lots stimulated by the build
ing operations has advanced the
price, and the most desirable loca-
lions find buyers at $1,000. The out
look for next year is promising. The
construction of the new sewer pipe
factory and the addition and i'm
provements contemplated for the
old one, recently passing to new
ownership, insures an enlarged de-
mand for mechanics and conse-
quent increase IN the demand for
residences.

When President Harahan OF the
Illinois Central Railroad company
was displaced and succeeded by
Chas Markham, it was the cause Of
several changes over the entire >sys-
TEN. Among these is new color
for all the buildings owned by the
company.
The color that was first adopted
by the Illinois Central people when
their railroad was established waS
green, and for many years It has
been used by them as the of1cial
color. But at the change Of the Of
ficials which took place about .
year ago, new color was adopted
by them. which will be a combiha-
ton of dark red and yellow. The
body of all their buildings Will be
of dark red, while the trimmings
will be yellow.
This work has already started
and the different divisions on the
road have crews Of painters who go
from one city to the next and paint
the company's buildings. In a short
time the appearance of the property
belonging to the Illinois Central viii
have undergone a great change.

ceased submitted to a surgical oper-
alton f6 the removal of kidney

county. She was born near Pitts
burg, Penn, August ~, 1S4S, and
was married Oct. %, 1885, to Geo.

riage, Mr.. and Mrs. Olmstead resid-
ed here for about thirteen years, her
husband,a Hamilton county boy, hav-
ing been admitted to the bar here.

beautiful and exemplary Christian
character. During her long weeks
