TRYING TO SMOKE
OUT H0N.f.P. WOODS
Word Comes From Des Moines That
Major Philpot Will Make
Vigorous Campaign.

Word comes from Des Moines that
Hon. Frank P. Woods, member OF
congress from this district, will
have to get off the fence or suffer
defeat. Major Philpot is going af-
ter his scalp in vigorous fashion In
an effort to knock him off the fence
astride of which he has been cling
ing ever since the nomination OF
Taft. The Des Moines report says:
"Shep" Philpot, as he is familiar
ly known, is planning a speaking
tour which will take in every coun-
ty in the district. He is denouncing
Woods as tool of the eastern
standpatters. and in his speech at
Fort Dodge recently he declared
that Woods is afraid to come out for
Roosevelt because if he does he will
lose his share of the appropriation
from the national congressional
committee campaign fund. Woods is
the Iowa member of this committee
This is the same committee against
which S. F.. Prouty rallied year af-
ter year. Prouty always claimed he
could have beaten Hull sooner if it
hadn't been for the help Hull got
from this campaign committee. 1t
was even charged locally that Hull
has secured as much as $4,000 in
one of his campaigns, though OF
course there is no way of proving
the figures. This same committee
is still in working order. William
Mckinley of Illinois, who was Taft's
campaign manager prior to the Chi
cago convention, is the chairman OF
the committee. AS a standpatter he
is not likely to sanction any distri-
button of funds to candidates who
come out for Roosevelt.
So Congressman Woods finds him
self between two tires-a strong pro-
gressive sentiment in his home dis
trict, and a stand-pat financial back
ing from the national COMPRESSION
al committee.

alton came he would be powerlese
to guide others. The way to restore
that lost joy is by the way Of full
confession of sins, and Willingness
to do something for God.
It was a strong plea and stirred
deeply the hearts of those who list
|ened.

good chorus and others are coming
to join. The singing is a great feat

a faculty for getting music out of
the songs and out of people.

thirty sharp. Everybody receives a

CHILD SWALLOWS H.
Silver QUARTER
Coin Lodges in Throat of Little
Daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Christensen.

Margaret, the three and half
year old daughter of Mr.>and Mrs.
Chas. Christensen, while \ playing
with, a silver quarter last evening
swallowed the coin and it lodged in
her throat. Local physicians at
tempted to extract the coin but
without success, and this morning
Mr.. Christensen, accompanied by
DR.. o. c. Buxton, took the little girl
to Des Moines where an X-ray exam
ination will be made. Mr.. Christen-
son is the auto liveryman at the
Hanson & Tyler garage.
Last evening the child's father
gave her quarter to play with and
she, childlike, placed it in her
mouth, unnoticed by her parents.
Shortly after that she was found to
be choking and for some time it
was not known as to what was
wrong. However, the absence of
the coin soon led to the discovery of
the little girls trouble, and a ply
sician was sent for. An X-ray ex-
animation followed. but the coin
was not located. Physicians worked
on the case all night, and as the
coin could not be extracted, Des
Moines physicians will be consulted.
It is expected that with the aid of
their. more powerful X-ray equip
ment the quarter will soon be locat-
ed and removed.

new MACHINERY
FOR THE LAUNDRY
Webster City Star Laundry Will In
stall $3.50 Worth of New
Machines. -

To handle their increasing bust
ness expeditiously and satisfactorily
Stevens Brothers, proprietors of the
Webster City Star Laundry, have
placed orders for new machinery to
the amount of $3.50. It is expect
ed to arrive in the city some time
this week and will be installed at
the earliest possible moment.
The new equipment consists Of a
fiat work machine, a product Of the
Triumph Laundry company of Chi
cago, costing $500, and water soft
ener and steam trap made by the
Wayne Manufacturing company OF
Fort Wayne, Indiana, at a price OF
$3.50. With these improvements the
local laundry will have it's working
capacity very largely increased. The
fiat work machine is designed for
sheets, towels and other plain iron
ing. The water softener is one OF
the most modern Of laundry, Inn
provements but lately put on the
market. This machine softens the
hardest water without the use of
chemicals. The local laundry pro-
prietors also own the laundry at Red
Oak and this new machinery has
proved successful in the establish
ment there, both as to speed and
the fine quality of work turned out.
The Stevens Brothers have been
located here but a comparatively
short time, but they have built up
a successful business, the quality of
work done by them being equal to
that of the best laundries

+. |. GREELEY Will
BUILD new S Store
Proprietor Of High Art Wall Paper
Store to Build Next
Spring.

| Frank l.. Greeley, proprietor of the
Greeley High Art Wall Paper Store,
first door west OF The Wilson is
planning to erect new brick build
ing next spring for his business in
order that he may. have much need
ed room for the accommodation of
his stock and trade. The building
will be built as strictly wall paper
store, with many of the fixtures
placed in the walls. AS yet the plans
are not complete, but the store will
be 100 feet in length, two stories in
height with a front of pressed brick.
For his show rooms Mr.. Greeley
will have selling booths patterned
by himself. This will do away with
most of the show racks that are gen.
orally used, as the stock will be con-
tanned in small cabinets. which will
be provided in each of the booths.
The idea of individual selling booths
comes from the larger cities. At the
rear OF the 'front.' or snow room the
stock part of the house will be locat-
ed. Mr.. Greeley will also install
some Of his own fashion of racks,
varnish and paint containers in this
part of the building. In the rear of
the building Mr.. Greeley will have
his work room and it will be large
and roomy. 1t is probable that he
may enter into the glass and picture
framing business when sufficient
room is possible for him to extend
his lines. The new structure will be
one of the best business buildings in
the city and one that will be cred
it to the town. Mr.. Greeley has been
in business for several years in this
city and has established a good rep
utation.

THE CONFESSION
OF THE PSALM|ST
Evangelist Nelson Preached to Good
Sized Audience at Baptist
Church Last Night.

A good sized audience was in at
tendance at the meeting last night
at the Baptist church. Evangelist
Nelson preached from the confession
of David in the 51st Psalm. He said
that one thing he especially liked
about that passage was that 1t was
the record OF an honest confession.
An honest confession Is rare thing
in any age. But here was man
who felt the wrench of sin so deep
ly that he humbled himself and made
clean breast of it. David did not
recite to the Lord the sins of some
body else but his own. People are
so willing to tell the Lord or some
one else the sins OF other people, but
mighty reluctant to confess their
own David knew full we'll that he
had lost the joy OF his salvation,
and that on account of his sin. \
sin need not be what We commonly
call great to rob us Of our JOY in the
Christian life. Any sin continued in
will accomplish the same result, Ev-
en- the sin of neglecting Gods work
and the house of worship will rob
the Christian OF his once while Joy.
so David prayed earnestly for the
Lord to restore the lost Joy that he
had had in his relation to God. Then
when that Joy was forthcoming he
would teach sinners the way OF sal
walton, but until the sense OF restor-
