GOOD BASE BALL
SCHEDULE FOR COLTS
Manager Kearns Has Many Out o
Town Dates and Will Feature
Lehigh Here on Sept. Bird.

From the schedule of base ball
games arranged by Manager Kearns
of the Colts the squad will have an
opportunity to take in all the cele-
brations in this part of the country.
Owing to the class of base ball that
is played by the locals, the smaller
towns in this vicinity are anxious
for them to appear on their pro-
grams as a feature, and Mr.. Kearns
has signed several contracts. Among
them is Free-From-Care Day at Ellis
worth on August 21st; Sauer Kraut
Day at Ackley on August 29th;
Farmers Picnic at Stanhope on Sept.
5th and at Lehigh on Labor Day,
Sept. End. On the next day, Sept.
3rd, the Lehigh team will come to
this city for a game. Arrangements
are also being made for a game with
the Stanhope nine in this city.
Mr.. Kearns received a lette: yes
terday morning from the LeMars
team manager in which he offered
500 for the local team to put in an
appearance at their celebration
which Is taking place today. Ow-
ing to the absence of some of his
men at camp, Mr.. Kearns could not
accept the offer.

ers which facilitate proper firing
are rather expensive, but expert
ments in the factories and railroads
Of the east show that the saving Of
fuel far exceeds, in time, the extra
expense of these improvements, to
say nothing of the increase in the
life of varnish, paint, etc, on the
building in which the furnace is To-
Gated and those in it's vicinity.
To apply the foregoing conclu-
sions to the local situation, r good
many tons of coal will be used the
coming winter in heating the three
central buildings and probably the
court house, and yet a good per cent
of this fuel as conditions are now, is
bound to be sent up the big smoke

and court house across the way and
upon all other buildings In that dis
trict. But by spending a little more
on a better furnace and a mechani-
cal stoker suited TO the kind of fuel

saved on the fuel bill 10 much more
than pay the interest on the extra
money expended on these improve
ments. 1t is a subject at least well
worth consideration, not only by the
residents of the portion OF the city
injured by the stack, but also by all
interested in the economical expen-
diture of public funds.

CAPT. WILL +. SMITH
WRITES A LETTER
Iowa One Of the Grandest Pictures
/ Of Contented Prosperity
Man Ever Saw.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: Since
left Webster City last June my wan.
behring's have carried me over some
thing like 1000 miles of territory
and by your kindness I will give
your readers a rambling report OF
what I have seen and the country
through which I travelled. But be-
fore doing s want to say at the
very start that I have seen no part
of the country that equals Iowa It
is one of the grandest pictures of
contented prosperity and happiness
mortal man ever saw, and | believe
that Iowa today stands without a
parallel on the broad face of the
earth. There are some places that
stand close to it in general appear
ance Of prosperity-Illinois, for in
stance, and southern Minnesota.
These portions Of the country are
extremely prosperous looking, and
they are prosperous. They both
stand a close second to Iowa in the
way of good crops this year. But
when you come into Iowa there
opens out before you the perfect
picture of prosperity on every hand,
with no blurring spots to Offset it's
great beauty. 1t all looks good ev-
cry inch of it that I have seen. I
don't wonder at the prices of land
going up and UP by leaps and
bounds. 1t cant help it, for 1t
looks mighty good to an outsider,
and those who live here know what
it is.
| saw a good deal of northern IL
linois, as / went through it on two
different lines. 1t is a great corn
and oats state, and I saw a great
many fine cattle, horses and hogs.
The farm buildings are extra good,
and all the towns and cities are
wide-awake and on the jump. This
is true also of southern Minnesota,
clear up close to and around st.
Paul. They raise more cattle and
horses there than in Illinois, but
fewer hogs and fancy stock. 1t is
given over more to the growing OF
small grains and grasses, but they
can and do grow fine corn. 1t is a
most beautiful country, with both
level and rolling prairies, inter-
spersed with natural and artificial
groves, and containing many fine
rivers and some beautiful lakes. But
the prices of improved lands there
have not yet gone out of sight, and
good ones can still be had around
$50 per acre.
| was two hundred miles north
of Duluth--into the big woodland
/ will tell you what / saw up there
in another letter.
Yours truly,
Will F. Smith.

HIGH SCHOOL NEEDS
SMOKE CONSUMER.
Shall One of the Prettiest Blocks of
the City be Blackened
With Smoke?

Residents in the vicinity of the
old electric light plant have been
rejoicing in a summer OF entire free
dom from smoke emitted for the last
twenty years in such volumes of dirt
and filthiness by the old smoke stack
and they are now watching with
considerable feeling the erection Of
another dispenser of SCOT and ashes
over n of the prettiest sections Of
our city beautiful. The damage to
the buildings, foliage, inside and
outside furniture and clothing re-
sulting from a stack like this is well
known to the residents of this sec
ton. And it was hoped that when
the furnace was ordered for the new
heating plant for the central school
buildings some measures for the pre-
vention of this damage to surround
ing property would be taken. For
it has been proved conclusively in
the large cities and manufacturing
centers of the country that smoke
can be entirely eliminated from
stacks of this kind.
Furthermore, 1t not only can be
eliminated but it IS a matter of
economy to the plant itself to do so,
for a black cloud of smoke merely
indicates so much wasted or unburn-
ed fuel, flying up the chimney and
out into the air instead of being
transformed into heat or power that
can be made use of.
Since the cry Of the smoke gloom
ed cities has been raised consider
able investigation has been made by
private parties and by the govern
ment into the cause of smoke and
the best methods Of doing away
with it. These Investigations by ex-
pert mechanics, engineers and scien-
lists have resulted in the following
conclusions. Smoke represents I'M
burned portions of fuel varying all
the way from 20 to So per cent of
the fuel put into the fire place. The
varying amount of waste is due to
the different elements contained in
the kind of fuel used. Secondly. they
discovered by various experiments
THAT the amount of smoke can be
greatly reduced by proper methods
of firing and stoking. > Thirdly, by
various devices or scientifically con-
structed furnaces the various gases
and solid particles, usually eseap-
ing through the chimney, a be
held in the fire box until entirely
burned and the black smoke thus
consumed. 1t is true that these de-
vices including the mechanical stok,

COLONEL ON THE STAND
WARMLY DENIES CHARGES
Testifying Before Senate Committee,
Roosevelt Maintains Absolute
Freedom From Corruption.

Washington, Oct. 4,-Theodore
Roosevelt, for seven years president OF
the United States and candidate for
reelection on the national Progressive
ticket. occupied a witness chair Tor
three and a half hours today before
a senate Investigating committee de-
Tending his administration, himself
and his campaign associates against
what he termed infamous charges"
and "hearsay evidence"
He appeared before the committee
at his own request to answer state
ments made in August by John D.
Archbold that the Standard Oil COM
pany had given 100000 to the Repub-
lican campaign in 1904 under the i'm
nression that President Roosevelt
knew of and approved acceptance OF
the contribution Not only did Roose-
Welt DENY this, but he put into the for
NAL records of the committee sweep
inc denial that he had ever solicited
funds from any one while president;
that any money had been received by
the 1904 campaign committee with ex-
pressed or implied promise OF favors
from the administration: that eXces-
sive funds had been used in rhe 1894
or 1868 campaigns; or that money had
ever been Improperly used in his be-
half, so far as he knew.

In reference to the Hartman fund
of S24O.O raised in 1904, Col. Roose-
velt declared the statements Of J. P.
Morgan, George R. Sheldon and others
had fully corroborated his earlier
statements that this fund was raised
expressly for the New York State cam
naign and had not been solicited by
him for his own support in the light
for the Republican nomination.
"There was not one word spoken by
Mr. Hartman or by me having any
reference to any collection OF funds
for the national campaign" he said,
referring to his interview with Mr..
Hartman in October, 1904. "On the
contrary the request was from Mr..
Hartman that inasmuch as We had
annie funds for the national campaign
and as the, national campaign was safe
we could help him out in the State
campaign.
The sessions of the committee were
picturesque throughout. Col. Roose-
welt arrived at the committee room 10
minutes before the hour of opening.
His progress into the building was
marked with cheers from throng that
