Return From Wall Lake.

Several local sportsmen returned
last evening empty handed from
hunting trip at Wall Lake. Though
they say there is a great abundance
of game at that place it is impossi-
BILE to obtain shot there, owing to
the shooting of mud hens and black
birds by so-called hunters. Sports
men who hunt in that vicinity are
getting very indignant over this
action and claim that if the matter
is not looked into shooting there
will be ruined, as the ducks soon
become SO wild that to get within
shooting distance of them will be
utterly impossible. Hunters are al
so complaining Of boys who go to
the lake to huut. but not having
the experience or patience of the
older hunter to wait until the game
gets within shooting distance, will
fire away in almost any direction in
order to anger the older men. This
is very dangerous practice and
some narrow escapes have been re-
ported.

BOYS and Girls Commended.

Superintendent Kelly delivered a
little speech to the pupils Of the
schools Friday afternoon in which
he praised them for their good be-
havior on the occasion Of their as
sembling in the court house yard on
Watermelon Day to receive Presi-
dent Taft. Prof. Kelly's commenda-
tion was we'll deserved. The fact
that the pupils met at the court
house and patiently waited until the
presidential party reached that
point, instead Of scattering over the
streets and following the party to
the city park, was an exhibition Of
good sense and orderliness on the
part of the boys and girls that de-
serves to be commended. Prof. KEEL
ly quite properly told the pupils
that he was proud of them and the
Freeman-Tribune believes there are
lots OF people in Webster City who
feel the same way over this matter.
The professor in his remarks very
reluctantly admitted that there
were many pupils, especially girls,
who liked to get into big crowd, a
perfect jam-where they can be
squeezed-and then all the boys ha
had! However, jokes aside. the
boys and girls of our local schools
did themselves proud in their recep-
ton OF the president and the occa-
sion is one to be remembered all
through their lives. The occasions
where the president of the United
States speaks to school children, as
he did in this city. are exceedingly
rare indeed.

The Northwestern First in the State
to File its Annual Report
With Board.
OTHERS ARE PRosPER1NG.

| Judging from the annual reports
of the railroads filed yesterday with
the state board of railroad commits
sioners, the two cent fare and other
legislation enacted by the legisla-
ture few years ago is proving a
benefit rather than a detriment ia
the roads
The Northwestern railroad is the
first of the big carriers operating in
the state to file its annual report for
the last year. It's prosperity is con-
sidered significant as means of
Judging the condition of the other
big railroads doing business in Iowa.
1t is believed that the reports of
the other important roads of the
state will show a profit account that
will compare favorably with that of
the Northwestern.
Along with the Northwestern S
report was filed the report of the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha railroad, which is owned by
the Northwestern. The subsidiary
line operated at net profit of
$3.50, S09.93. The total operating
revenue was $5,394,132.11. A total
of 626,697 passengers were carried
an average distance Of 1924 miles.
The tonnage of freight carried DUR
ing the year amounted to 1,115.SSS
tons.
The total mileage of the North
western in Iowa is 1,620.6 miles.
The total operating revenue for the
year was s21,905,475.64. The net
income of the road was $12,747,-
100.01, from this figure is deducted
the taxes and other items of expense
which reduce the profits to the fig
IRE mentioned previously. The
Northwestern carried 4,S4S,303 pas
|sengers during the year an average
distance Of 1850 miles. The freight
hauled amounted to 6,900,S53 tons.
The average haul per ton was 10a.78
m les. The freight revenue was
s11,641,140.65. The passenger rev.
enue was s1.S72.2S4.24 in Iowa
alone. Interstate, the passenger re-
ceipts amounted to $2,471,242.42.
The Northwestern declared a divi-
dent of per cent on common stock
and s per cent on preferred stock.

No matter whether or not luck
is essential to success we can all
do much to help ourselves by TAX
ing look into the future and fol-
lowing the old trodden path of
building a home. Success does not
necessarily mean the accumulation
of wealth-health and happiness are
also essential-and nothing helps
more to attain the latter than the
planning and building OF home.
It means the investment OF Your
money in values you know some

CONTAINS MANY
MUSICAL NUMBERS
Paul Revere, Musical Play to b,
Staged by Local Elks Lodge
on Oct. 80.

Two rehearsals Of Paul Revere
the musical play to be staged by the
local Elks, Oct 80, have already
been held.
This entertainment is under the
direction of John Wilson Dodge,
the gentleman who put the annual
play on for the Elks last year. The
production to be put on this year is
in three acts and follows the career
of the famous Paul Revere in his
midnight ride before the revolution
airy war and continues with him I'M
til that conflict closes. The writer
has woven into the production a
few of the historical facts concern
ing the career of this remarkable
character and it contains music
enough to make 1t especially attrac-
tive and one of the best of plays to
be put on by home talent. OWNS
to the fact that some of the parts
are quite difficult, the choosing of
the cast of characters has not yet
been completed, but Mr.. Dodge ex-
poets to have everybody in their
place by the last of the week.
However, the music has been dis
tributed and the chorus will soon be
in readiness for beginning the char
II
acter rehearsals. There are about
sixteen musical numbers in this en-
tertainment in which the work Of
the chorus will be the leading feat
ure. The music used in these num-
bers is all catchy and is the kind
you whistle on the street next morn
ing.

Home From Racing Circuit.

Geo. Levalley has returned home
with his fast trotting horse Deacon.
The racing season is nearing its
close and Deacon is through for this
year. This horse was considered
the best 2:20 trotting horse in the
state last year, winning eleven races
out OF fifteen starts and held sec
ond place in the other four. But
Deacon has been sick the better part
Of this season and had not been very
successful until short time ago.
However. as soon as he gained his
health he returned to his form Of
last year, winning the last seven Of
the races in which he was entered
and losing but one heat in that
time. The last two races were TAX
en- in Hampton and Waverly during
last week. Mr.. Levalley thinks he
win sell his horse, as he says he is
firing of the sport and is thinking
Of retiring from the racing field.

THEIR FIRST ANNUAL
MEETING IS HELD
Outing Club Session Adopt Resolu-
ton Fixing Number Of
Members at 1875.

The first annual meeting Of the
stockholders Of the Outing club was
held at the country club house last
evening and was attended by about
twenty-five members.
This organization has grown so
rapidly that resolution placing a
limit Of one hundred and twenty
five members was adopted by popu-
lar vote and owing to this fact class
G Of the membership rules was
stricken from the books. This class
was for the benefit of young men
between the ages OF twenty-one and
twenty-five who wished to become
members of the club. It was posi-
BILE for men Of this class to receive
membership in the club for an adj
mittance fee OF fifteen dollars and
membership fees amounting to ten
dollars yearly. But this did not give
satisfaction to the older members,
as the applicants in this class were
u { ! = . H
so numerous that the club was not
considered large enough to accom-
modate them. A vote was taken on
this question last evening and the
class will be discontinued. Howev-
er, the eight young men who had
already taken advantage of this Of
fer will be allowed to retain their
membership until reaching the age
of twenty-five.
The report of the financial COM
mittee was presented and the club
was found to be in excellent condi
ton in that direction. A new set of
bylaws was considered and will be
adopted in the near future.

A Rushing Business.

The two merry-go-round machines
which operated in this city on Wat
ermelon Day gave the commercial
league percentage for the privi-
lege, hence the league knows just
how much money the two received.
The league received little more
than $3.50. which indicates that
more than ten thousand rides were
taken at I'VE cents each. Az many
tickets were sold at the rate Of six
for quarter. 1t is likely that be.
tween eleven and twelve thousand
rides were taken. This means near
~ two thousand rides per hour for
the actual time the machines were
operating.

BIG BLOW UP ON
ILLINOIS CENTRAL
Thirty Thousand Gallons Of Case
line Goes up With Bang
Trains Delayed.

A tank car on one of the freight
trains on the Illinois Central ex-
ploded at Earlville, a station this
side of Dubuque yesterday.
The tank contained somewhere
near 10000 gallons of gasoline The
force of the explosion was strong
enough to derail and completely
wreck seven freight cars that were
stationed before and after the gas
car in the train.
AS result of the explosion the
track was torn up so that consider
able work had to be done on it.
Trains number twenty-one and
number five, the latter being the
Chicago train, due in this city just
before noon, had to be detoured over
the Great Western from Dubuque to
Waterloo, thereby causing both
trains to reach the city an hour late.
The telephone wires were also put
out Of commission by the explosion
and Illinois Central connections
with Chicago were cut off for some
time. There was no one injured by
the explosion.
1t is surmissed that hot box on
one of the trucks of the tank car
blazed up and ignited the gasoline.
