the executive office I'm Lansing. receiv-
ed by Sheriff Rimley. who Monday

WORK.

soon be harvested. Both the Calumet
and Crystal Ice companies have large
forces of men at work cutting and

les will probably store more ice this
year than last.
Most of the ice for the Calumet Ice
company has been cut at tho Beaver
Dam and the quality is said to be ex-
ceptionally good. The warehouses of
the company have practically been
filed and attention Is now being given
to private orders. Several of the
markets are storing large quantities
Of ice this year, some of them having
experienced a shortage last summer.
Shipments of ice for the Crystal Ice
company are now being received over
the Copper Range road and at the
present rate very little time will be
required to fill the warehouse of this
company The Crystal Ice company
Is harvesting its own ice this year.
The present mild weather has in no
way interfered with the work and
progress has been even better than i'm
the colder weather.

mayed by the s to beating which
they received at the hands of the De-
troit Wanderers Saturday night. the
University of Michigan hockey seven

with Chatham and Tillbury aggrega-
tions and expect to meet them on the
coming Friday and Saturday evenings.

regular wings and several of their
best substitutes. They hope TO have
more opportunity for practice than
they have had for some time past and

Laurium Department

1t the celebration usually held on In
dependence day, and for a small ad-
ditional expenditure, an entertainment
of unusual merit can be provided.
AS mentioned in The News this
week, contracts have practically been
closed with the Parker Bros. Amuse-
ment company so that no difficulty
will be experienced in securing good
attractions for this occasion. 1t is be-
lieved that a number of local features
such as races and other attractions
can be worked up so that the carnival
will be well worthy OF the support of
the residents of this and surrounding
villages.

WATCH JOHNNY THOMPSON.
Invasion Into Middleweight Ranks
May be Important.

There must be something in the air
over in Australia that is doing Johnny
Thompson a world Of good and maxi
ing a champion of him. John always
was a bear to take lacing. and. with
the added weight that he has taken on
i'm the far-off country. he looks to be
the real goods when II comes to step
ping up near the middleweight cham
pionship. OF course John is a bit UNI
dersized for a middleweight. but when
one takes into consideration that Joe
Walcott, the demon OF them all. was
not bit over feet . inches tall and
Thompson tops Joe by a couple of in
ches at least, it would not be surpris-
ing If he would turn out to be another
annihilator of ambitious middles and
heavies like the Barbodoes wonder
when he was under the management Of
Tom O'Rourke.

HooDoo HANGS OVER FIRST.
Misfortune Follows First Baseman OF
Milwaukee Team.

Tom Jones is not superstltious
player. At the same time the former
Tiger cannot forget that a hoodoo
hangs over first base on the Milwau-
kee club, where Tom is attached.
About six years ago, Quate Bateman,
the first baseman. was stabbed by
Charley Dexter, another player. It
was only Bateman's remarkable con-
stitution that pulled him through.
Four years ago Pat Hynes. who was
signed to play first was murdered in
saloon row in st. Louis. 1t was
during the winter time. A week be-
fore he was killed he signed his Mil
waukee contract.
Dan Mccain. who played several
seasons for the Brewers, committed
suicide recently.
A less courageous man than Tom
Jones would think seriously before ac-
cepting a hoodoo job.

BOOST.N.F. REED
FOR PARTY LEADER
FRIENDS OF STATE CHAIRMAN
WOULD PLACE HIM IN OPPOSE
TON TO JUDGE WADE.

State Chairman N. F. Reed of the
democratic state central committee is
being boosted by his friends for ma
1ional committeeman for Iowa before
the democratic delegation, selected
next spring to attend the national
convention. The Reed contingent
from the sixth district is working to
displace the present committeeman
Martin J. Wade, because. it Is said, he
is reactionary and conservative, and
is attorney for the liquor interests. IN
speaking Of the announcement or his
boost for national committeeman, as
made in the Des Moines Register &
Leader today, Mr.. Reed said:
my attention was called to the edl-
torial of the Newton Herald which mas
formed the foundation to an article IN
the Register and Leader OF Des
Noines today and all that | wish TO
state is that whatever has been SAID
or done was without consultation with
me. but, l presume, through the good
intentions of my friends. l do not

ranks and / will not antagon1ze Judge

STILL CLAIMS No
JURISDICTION.
JUDGE MISUNDERSTOOD REFUSES
TO TAKE OVER POLL TAX
SUITS FOR THE CITY.

Despite the arguments Of City
Solicitor Tisdale in an endeavor to
show him that he possessed sufficient
jurisdiction, Judge L. c. Hendershott
still maintains that it is beyond the
powers conferred upon him by the
statutes of Iowa to take over the poll
tax suits of the city Of Ottumwa.
Solicitor Tisdale cited his authority on
the opposite contention several days
ago and Judge Hendershott states that
he has weighed every point thor
oughly and is still not convinced. Ha
states that suits on poll taxes ara
civil cases and since there is no penal
clause to the law or the city ordinance
it. is beyond his power to try the ac-
tions.
Heretofore justices of the peace
have sued in poll tax matters with
cost to the city. The city officials are
nav endeavoring to eliminate this cost
of suit. The trouble may be taken to
the district court for settlement.
