HERRING IN MARKET. !.
Dealers Encouraged to Believe Len.
ten Supply Will Be Ample.

Shipments of fresh herring from the
fisheries in Florida waters, which were
held up by cold weather, have been re-
sumed and the. dealers at the 18th street
wharf are again receiving supplies. The
first shipment received. here in several
days, consisting of about 1900 fish, came
yesterday and there was another, small
shipment today, but from now. on re-
ceipts of the fish are looked for at the
fish wharf almost daily.
Within the next week or two the fish
will be coming from the Carolinas and
southern shad will also be on the market
in good quantities. Herring are selling
at from SIS to $3.50 a hundred, with good
demand. With the exception Of the her
ring there were but few fresh fish on
sale, but the supply of frozen stock is
ample to meet all demands.
The near approach of Lent and the
scarcity of sea food of all kinds is giving
the local dealers some uneasiness, but it
is thought that shipments of fish will in
crease soon and that there will be an am
pie supply at moderate prices.
Oysters are being brought here in the
shell in barrels from Norfolk and consid-
cradle shucked stock is also being re-
ceived to aid in meeting the demand

Hurried Departures.

Meantime Mr.. Schneider. was arousing
people from their beds. and the Winola's
population tumbled out on the street
without taking any too much time with
their toilet. Mrs. Sallie G. Jones, who &C.
cupies an apartment on the second floor,
had to be carried out on the sidewalk, as
she was ill. Others who made a hasty
early morning exit were Mrs. l.. G. Goode
of Cleveland, Ohio, a guest of Mrs. Jones.
and her son, Louis A. Jones, and Mrs
Annie Riggles and iher son Harry Men,
bers of the family of H. c. Davis, who
have an apartment on the fifth floor, are
in California.
The flames are supposed to have origi-
mated in an ash bin in the cellar. directly
under Mrs. Wilson's dining room. Hot
ashes, it is thought, caused the fire.
Practically everything in the dining room
was burned. The firemen kept the
damage confined to the one room.
The damage to the building Is estimated
at several hundred dollars. Mrs. Wilson
was unable to estimate the damage to the
contents of her dining room. She stated
that several valuable oil paintings. heir
looms and furniture were DESTROYED.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
While Repairing A Windmill Last
Saturday, Mr.. Groteluschen Fell
by Breaking of Ladder

While working at windmill work
last Saturday, Mr.. Louie Groteluschen,
the hustling hardware merchant of
Gray fell about 20 to 25 feet to the fro
zen ground and sustained the fracture
OF both legs. He was working on a
ladder we understand when it broke,
throwing Mr.. Groteluschen to the
ground, We trust that no internal
injury has been sustained.
During the last twelve months Louie
has had two other injuries from runa-
way teams and both times he was laid
up for some time. Mr.. Groteluschen
ls by far the best windmill and pump
man working anywhere at the business
and his services are constantly in de.
mand. We certainly sympathize with
our old neighbor and friend.

CHARLES HUNT
Billiard Men Organize State Body,
Elected Charles 0. Hunt of Extra.
President and Neal Barentsen

The billiard hall proprietors of the
State of Iowa met at the Savery hotel
in Des Moines last week and perfected
an organization for the better control
and enforcement of tine laws governing
their business.
Charles Hunt of this city was select
ed as the first State Presidents of the
new organization. The honor falls
lightly on hls shoulders for he has been
making study of the essentials for
sometime; when it occurred to him
that in organizing all the halls in Iowa
that are governed by the same law,
wedding out of the poorly controlled
ones, would increase the standard of the
better ones, and would be patronized
bya better element. Charley is a
booster and will make worthy head.
Neal Barentsen of Audubon was q
member of the Executive Committee.

a broken limb two years ago .during a
runaway, and later the amputation of
his foot above the ankle, is getting

been to. The sons and Mrs. Kpess
kept the farm worked up during his
sickness and recovery, the excellent
management of the affairs of the farm
have permitted the annexation of one
hundred and sixty acres adjoining off
of the Jacob Wagner tract. This
makes 2S0 acres now in the farm with
two sets of Improvements, Mr.. Kness
has rented the larger portion of the
farm with the home farm buildings to
Messrs Charles Baker and Herbert

their family, including the recent ar
rival, sweet little daughter, will move

and killed herself eating green corn.
Hearing racket, the wife ran out. up

cream into basket of little chickens,
drowning the entire hatch. In her
haste she dropped $25 set of false
