LECTURER IS VERY
HIGHLY COMMENDED
Prof. A. A. Weaver, Former Super
intendent Of Local Schools,
Writes Letter.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: | am I'M
der the impression that 1t may be
proper for me to advise your readers
to attend the lecture to be given IN
the Christian church by Albert l..
E3lair, on the evening of the 18th
inst.
Long years ago Albert Blair and
s.myself were schoolmates In New
2 York preparatory school. He was
then model and an inspiration to
all the boys, for all then were am
bilious to become orators, OF masters
of literature. Mr.. Blair was
Z friendly advisor and critic whose as
sistance was largely sought and
freely given.
Not all the boys became famous;
but several have won more than To-
cal credit as ministers, editors, or
lawyers; and / think none Of them
ever forgot to admire him who was
their pattern of eloquence in debate
or at exhibitions of oratorical skill.
Although / have not seen Mr..
Blair since my boyhood days, have
followed him with deep interest IN
his success as an editor and plat
form speaker in the great cities OF
the east where one must excel If he
secures renown. He stands with the
first in our country, in what he has
attempted to do. and he is the best
example OF self-made success among
those / have known.
/ hope all lovers Of word painting
in Webster City. and particularly
the high school students, may listen
to this man who has gained such
control OF language as to make 1T
appeal to mind and heart, with all
the sense of prose and the beauty OF
poetry.
His audience will see what he de-
scribes, and they will feel as he in
tends them to feel. He is master
Of English; and the effect of his
power will continue pleasure ana
a benefit in Webster City.
In the years Of my teaching many
OF my pupils have acclaimed one or
more of Blair's orations which / had
kept as treasurers.
This letter is unsolicited. / write
it to community that / cherish for
unnumbered fayors and pleasant as
u sociations, and about one who has
Remained dear in my mind since the
saays OF my boyhood.
/ am glad he is coming to my old
home. l wish / might be present to
add to his welcome. Possibly it may
be my good fortune to be there.

Falstaff Visits the City.

Ellsworth News: We took candi-
date Lakin up to Webster City Sat
urday to show him the town, but
that dod gasted main spring Of the
republican party knew more people
than we did. Gus showed his abil-
ity to run alright that day and II
he don't give the other candidates
merry chase it's because his wind
don't hold out. In changing cars at
Jewell, he got to talking with some
political shin kicker and the north
bound train pulled out. 1t got
pretty good start before Gus noticed
it and we'll give it to you straight
that the Jewell yard man put the
entire crew OF section men on his
trail to repair rails and relay ties.
The conductor told us in confidence
that Gus put up the prettiest race
against his train that he had ever
seen and he'd been on the road %
years. Gus passed himself twice in
making that run and each time he
wonderd who was In a hurry beside
himself. His coat tails stuck out
behind like the rudder of an air
ship and when he caught up with
the train there was not enough wind
left in him to push a quarter note
out OF ten dollar accordian. With
Art Hanson's and Grin Eittreim's
help we finally unloaded him at
Webster City and made an attempt
to show him through the principal
streets OF the county capital. You
men who know Gus by sight would
think that he could make more
money by using that face of his In
posing for the comic supplement OF
the metropolitan papers. but just
the same, Gus is popular with the
ladies. After we found that Gus
was better acquainted than we
were. we turned him loose to rustic
for himself and we took in the
sights. One thing we want to re-
mind you of Is that 1t showed like
time on Saturday and the sidewalks
OF webster City were slipperyer than
an insurance agent. Mrs. Falstafl
has expressed desire on several oc'
casions to move to the county seat
because she thought the ladies Of
that place wore better clothes. Il
may be, but we have been out or
the streets in Ellsworth on slip
perry day and wen be jumped up ant

tickled to death by the frosty end OF
ten inch icicle If we could notice
any difference in the wearing appar-
ell or the hosiery display by ladies
of the two towns. There Is some
thing queer about bob" Channer.
About two years ago we were up to
the county seat celebrating either
Christmas or the 4th of July, we
can't remember just which event 1t
was as we could only see half way
to the ground. We borrowed some
money of Bob" that day to do some
shopping in Fort Dodge and since
then 1t has been hard for us to find
"Bob'' at home. We paid him too,
but It must be that he thinks we
were just getting him ready for a
stronger pull. We also did pref
ty piece of Sherlock Holmes work
last Saturday. We saw "Jake"
Schroeder take lady across the
street from his drug store to a cafe
for lunch. Now we have never ask
ed any one who the lady was, but
we drew the deduction that she was
his wife. Why?. Because in step
ping from the pavement to the side
walk, he did not assist her. We al
so noticed that cake" had worn
glasses so long that they had turned
yellow. dad, Newman is begin
ming to take 6 great deal of pride in
being fire chief, as we noticed that
he had the fire team and paraphar-
MALTA parading in front of the store
about half of the afternoon. Frank
Robson is trying out a new hair
tonic. He used four sample bottles
on a marble slab and claims that it
has proven more successful than he
had hoped. He's going to sandpaper
his think tank next week and give
the tonic chance to work on that.
We visited all of the newspaper of
fees and asked few questions con-
corning politics. They didn't any of
them seem to know much more
than the law allowed. Like your
uncle Falstaff though, they were de-
sirous of seeing a good bunch of Of
flee seekers in the field this spring.
BILLY" Kearns has bought the
Crooked Creek railroad and is going
to beat Lehigh at baseball If he has
to wear the bloomin' old road out
going over and coming back again.
Mayor Sparboe sent word by police
Nickerson that the only way he
wanted to see us was in police court.
There isn't much danger of that be-
cause the blasted old drug stores are
so bloomin tight about their sleep
producers that when fellow gets
a quarters worth of witch hazel, they
mix it with wood alcohol. We have
been trying to find some reason to
knock on Webster City, but the only
thing we can think of just now is
the measly way the basket ball team
beat Eagle Grove. They scored 1O7
points to Eagle Groves 16 points.
The baseball season will soon be
here and then we'll knock all we
want to.

Fighting Woodward.

Atlanta, Sept 27-The Atlanta Jour
nal, on the of the local election, has
left its position of neutrality and
come out with a strong attack on
Jim Woodward, who is apparently re-
garded as the leading candidate for
mayor
The Journal goes after Mr. Wood
ward without gloves, and bases its
editorial on Mr.. Woodward's alleged
personal immortality and bad habits.
1t says in the course of the editorial,
ct is simply question of whether
mayor who has repeatedly disgraced
the city at home and abroad shouts
ever again be entrusted with that high
office.
"Wanton and notorious disregard of
decency in public and private life, y
are some of the other phrases that
occur in the editorial.

ATLANTA NEWS,

Atlanta. Sept. 27.-The exact num-
Der of houses which will be closed by
order of Police Chief Beavers Sunday
morning is 40. The exact number of
women who will be evicted from the
restricted district is 264.
These totals represents the extent
of the recognized restricted district of
Atlanta. The Men and Religion For
ward Movement, aided by local char
liable institutions, has undertaken the
work of providing homes for all of
the 264 women who do not elect to
leave the city. ,MfN Z
Some of Atlanta's best known soci-
ETY. women and philanthropic workers
accompanied the ministers into the
red light district yesterday afternoon
to talk with the women personally and
offer them assistance.
Present indications are that there
will be no likelihood of moving the
district outside the city limits and
continuing it's operation. County Po-
lice Chief Rowan and Sheriff Mangum
neither of whom sympathized with
Chief Beavers methods, have yet an
nounced nevertheless that they VIII
act in accordance with what seems tt
oe the strength of public sentiment
and will Immediately close up any
houses which may attempt to oper
outside of the city limits.
Charges made yesterday Afternoon
by spiteful property holders on Man
haitian avenue, alleging that severa
well-known hotels ought to be pulled
have failed to be substantiated ant
the man who made the charges, wht
has three of his own houses CLOSED
Sunday, has failed to bring forward
proofs of his counter-charges. H,
said that Men and Religion leader
had stock in some of the hotels h,

FEEL BULLY, TAKE
cASCARETS TONIGHT
A Ten-Cent Box Will Keep Your LiV-
err, Stomach and Bowels Clean, Pure
aGo rreSn Tor months.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and
foul breath-always trace them to
torpid liver, delayed fermentirg food
in the bowels or sour, gassy stom-
ach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out OF
the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes coz
gestion and that dull, throbbing sick
ening headache.
Salts, cathartic pills, oil and pur-
gative waters force a passageway for
a day or two-yes-but they don't take
the poisons out and have no effect
upon the liver or stomach.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the
sour, undigested and fermenting food
and foul gases, take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out of the
system all the constipated waste
matter and poisons in the bowels
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels clean and regulated fol
months.
