upon the top Of his head that he gave

His eyes looked out from behind half

slightest resemblance between the

THE NEW COUNCIL.

The Council which will convene en-
September 3rd, for the purpose OF or
panizing, will find number OF I'M
portant matters awaiting its attention
that will require careful consideration
unbiased by factional differences. The
delay in street Improvement work on
account of the uncertainty as to the
action of the Council in regard to the
question of Improvement out OF the
general fund. having been ended by
the settlement of this vexatious ques-
ton, it is now apparent that the
whole community is deeply interested
in the construction of modern streets,
and the incoming Council will have
an opportunity to accomplish a great
deal for the city in this particular.
The city is in need of modern high
school building and the last Council
purchased a site for this purpose;
the erection of the building without
unnecessary delay is an urgent need
that Council must Consider. The adj
ditional territory to be taken in under
the annexation proceedings now pend
ing, will involve an immense amount
of detail work for Council, includ-
ing re-districting the wards of the
city, providing school facilities, fire
and police protection for the annexed
territory, street improvement, laying
sewers and any number of things
which have not as yet been thought
of. If the incoming Council can ac-
complish the work already laid out,
our city will be given an impetus that
is sure to result in increased prosper
ity and business development. With
such a prospect in view it is to be
hoped that these factional differences
which have prevailed in the low
tl pOeltu 1Ul SthO w
the performance of the work of that
body, will give away to the more i'm
portant and pressing business of the
city. The harmony which marks the
the deliberations of the board
of aldermen is quite pleas
ing contrast to the Quarrels which of
ten tie up the business of the lower
board, and we believe that this is as
much regretted by the great major
ity of the members as by the citizens
at large. The opportunity for doing
good work for the city and its peo-
pie is too great to be neglected fol-
the purpose of perpetuating personal
or political differences that are past
and should be forgotten. The tine
has come when no one member OF
set of members should sound discor-
dant note in the general harmony that
we believe prevails for the up-build-
ing OF our city. 1t is time to lister
to the wants of the citizens and stor
this useless quarrel that seems t.
hear no sound save it's own dash
ings."

THAT STORY CITY
BANK FAILURE
Believed That Father of Missing
Cashier Will be Made Penni-
less by Losses.

Story City, April 9.-As the facts
are coming out in regard to the de-
falcations of Cashier M. J. Swan, of
tho Citizens Bank, it appears that
the bank will not be able to resume
business and that depositors will
lose heavily. Among the depositors
are young women who had entrust-
ed their savings of years In the
bank and these will suffer keenly
from the failure. @.
With the money borrowed during
the days previous to NJ. J. Swans
departure and the cash taken from
the bank, the cashier is believed to
have in his possession considerable
sum of money. Swan kept his board

A Good Suggestion.

Much talk as to what is to be
done with the dirt that is to be
taken from the street when the
new paving is started has been
heard on the streets. One of our
readers has recommended what
seems to be a very good plan for the
use of some of this soil. According
to his manner of thinking quite.
large amount OF the dirt could be
placed in the southeast corner Of
the public school grounds. Every
year during the wet season this part
Of the school grounds is flooded
with water. This season the play
grounds had water standing on
them for several days that was quite
deep. This would be an easy place
to haul it from the street and it
would be of great benefit to these
grounds.

Work of Electricity.

The strength OF the new high ten
sion electric current was demon
strated yesterday morning when the
limb of a tree in the rear OF the
First National Bank building rub
bed the insulation from one of the
wires.
Several people watched the pro-
cess OF the electricity. The wire
was strung through the tree and
one of the large limbs in bending
to the wind rubbed the covering
from It. The effect was instantan-
eous, a small stream of fire being
sighted by gentleman who happen
ed to be looking in that direction.
In less than ten minutes the big
bough was completely severed from
the trunk of the tree and fell to the
ground. As the wood was green II
Immediately stopped burning when
the wire did not touch 1t.

Company C Band.

The band recently organized by
company C and placed under the di-
rection OF Kit Johnson is doing fine
work. The members are coming out
twice week to practice and are
working hard and faithfully to give
Webster City good band for the
coming summer season.
But 1t has just one difficulty
which is troubling 1t especially now
and that is need Of more funds.
Plans are on foot to circulate sub
scription, list among the business
men of the town soon and 1t Is ex-
pected that all interested In hearing
some good band music on our streets
this summer will respond literally.
The boys are doing their part and
what they need now is TO feel that
the support Of the city is back OF
them. With. this support, there is
NO reason why Webster City should
not have a good band.

The Important Poultry Industry.

In the opinion of authorities who
have Investigated the question
there is no one department of the
farm industry which can approach
that of poultry raising in point of
profit. all things else considered.
The Iowa Homestead has for many
years maintained a department in
which all features Of poultry and
egg production are given attention
by men and women of extended ex-
perience both of the professional
class and farmers themselves. It is
said to be a fact that through the
efforts of The Homestead poultry
growing throughout the West has
made wonderful development dur
ing the past few years. The Home
stead should be in the hands of ev-
cry farmer. 1t Is dubbed with this

Marshalltown, April 9.-The con-
tract for thirty-three and one-half
blocks, or about 4S,50O square yards
of concrete paving, was let by the
city council this morning to Ely &
Carlson, of this city, for s1.O8 a
yard for the paving. There were
five bids, ranging from Ely & Carl
sons, which was the lowest, to
$1.24, the high bid The low bid

for $11S, were second low on the
bid for this years contract. Their
bid was s1.13k, Az cents under
