Write Your Notices.

People who want to run notices in
the Freeman would save
much trouble and annoyance by
writing them carefully and sending
them to the Office instead OF relying
upon the telephone. Mistakes will
creep in in spite of all We can do,
but mistakes are much more liable
when the telephone is used than
when the article is written and
handed in. The Freeman-Tribune
will do the best it can under all cir
cumstances and will try to get tele-
phone communications in the paper
straight. but experience teaches that
many more mistakes occur in the
items sent in by phone than In those
written out and sent to the office.

HOLDEN PREDICTS
MUCH ROAD WORK
Thinks Iowa Will Make Marvellous
Improvements in Highways
Next Year.

Hamilton county is more interest
ed in road improvement at this time
than ever before in the history OF
| the county. ALI the people now see
the advantages of good highways
and are ready to bear the burden
! necessary to secure them. Nobody
will favor extravaganza or the need
less expenditure of money, but there
will be no complaint even of large
expenditures if the funds are judic-
/ iously used and every dollar made to
buy one hundred cents worth of good
roads.
J. w. Holden, of the state board
Of highway commissioners, announ-
ces that he is going to advocate the
making of preparations this winter
, so that next year will see the most
effective road building and mainten-
ance.
Mr.. Holden says supervisors
should put to work a patrol gang, of
which each man should have ten
miles Of road This man should be
equipped with three horses and a
road drag, and should be responsible
for keeping the road in good condi-
ton. He should drag and fill the
road, build culverts, keep waterways
open and make minor repairs on
bridges. Mr. Holden declared his
belief that this system will be much
more effective and no more expen-
|sive than the present hit and miss
plan.
Mr.. Holden insists that road build
ing should be taken out of the hands
of the farmers and put into those of
practical road builders who will de-
vote all their time to the work. He
declares the farmers should not be
compelled to do road work any more
than any other business man who
pays his taxes, and for this reason,
the roads now in the township road
systems should be put in charge of
the supervisors and the county road
engineers, because the township trus-
tees are invariably busy farmers who
have little time to devote to their
public duties. He thinks a law
should. be passed giving the super
visors power over all of the roads.

ILLINOIS central
Wins IN COURT
Jury Decides That Company is Not
Liable for Death of Miss
Flossie Maricle.

The jury in the case of Simeon E.
Thomas, administrator of the estate
of Miss Flossie Maricle VS.. the 1lli-
nois Central railroad company, re-
turned verdict yesterday for the
company. The trial was in the Fort
Dodge district court and was the Sec
.ond trial of the case, the first result
ing in disagreement. Miss Mari
Gle, it will be e1nembered by our
readers, was killed in train-auto-
mobile collision at Duncombe last
January. Two young men, both re-
siding at Fort Dodge, met death at
the same time. The automobile in
which they were riding was struck
by the fast train just this. side of
Dun combe, resulting in the death of
three persons occupying the auto.
The accident happened at, about ten
o'clock at night and the jury now
decides that it was due to the con-
tributory negligence of the auto
driver.

CITY COUNCIL IN
REGULAR SESSION
Spread Assessments for Curb and
Gutter on First Street
Other Business. "

The city council met last evening
and accepted the plot schedule for
the First street curb and gutter, also
ordering the assessment schedules to
be printed.
The agreements made with the IL
linois Central Railroad and the Chi
cago & North western Railroad COM
panies were read and approved by
the council and authority given the
mayor and city clerk to sign the
same on the part of the city. These
agreements were made with the COM
panies in connection with the large
north side sewer which will neces-
sarily cross the right-of-ways and
run under the tracks of both rail
roads. The agreements set out the
conditions under which this can be
done.
The usual amount of bills were al
so read and allowed, after which the
council adjourned until November
18th.

Slapped His Mother.in-Law.

A trial was conducted in justice
court yesterday and a Webster City
man was fined ten dollars and costs
for slapping his mother-in-law
1t appears that he had been
asked to leave his mother-in-law's s
house. as he had been making a
rather prolonged stay, and was told
to go to work. 1t appears he could
not agree with her and an argument
started. which ended in few
fisticuffs. The son-in-law claim
ed the mother-in-law struck
him first, while the mother
in-law declared that she was the one
who was slapped first. 1t seems that
the affair happened Saturday
and the man was arrested Sunday ev-
ening and brought before justice
yesterday morning. when the trial
was heard and the fine imposed. The
officers desire to conceal the identity
of the man.

TWO YOUNG men
UNDER ARREST
Charged With Burglarizing Stores at
Gilbert Station Week
~ Ago. .'*..

!. Chief Of Police Bingham yester-
day placed under arrest two young
men who have been making this city
their home for several months. Their
names are Tony Rosa and Max No
yak and they were charged with
breaking and entering store at Gill
bert Station week ago Saturday
night. 1t seems that the pair had
been to Des Moines for several days
and had started to beat their way
home with another party, but upon
arriving at Gilbert Station decided
they would investigate the financial
affairs of some Of the stores of that
place. They managed to break into
one store and found several dollars
in change and also took several
sweaters and some canned goods,
crackers and candy. The robbery
was discovered the next morning and
the marshal, having had glimpse of
the fellows the night before, at once
sent out a description Of the men and
they were discovered in Webster City
shortly afterwards by Chief Bing-
ham. He Immediately let the mar
shal at Gilbert Station know and yes
terday the marshal appeared with
a warrant for their arrest After
having placed them under arrest he
took them to Nevada, which is the
county seat of Story county, where
they will no doubt be bound over to
the grand jury and stand trial for
their crime. They stated that they
did not know the third party, but he
only stayed in Webster City over
night, leaving next morning for Chi
cago. Under the charge for which
they will be indicted they will prob
ably be sentenced to ten years in
the state prison, as that is the pen
atty for the offense which they COM
mitted. The chief Of police found
that the men had some of the goods
with them when arrested and one of
them confessed, stating that Rosa
had stood outside the store and kept
watch while he and the other party
had been in the store stealing the
goods.

Looking for Location.

There is considerable speculation
on the streets the past few days in
regard to report that a grocery
man from Des Moines was in the city
last week with the expectation Of
looking up a location for a suburban
grocery store. From the report it
appears that he was running a sub
urban grocery in Des Moines, but a
short time ago disposed OF his store
there and wishing to enter business
in a smaller town came to Webster
City to look over the prospects in
this city. What the gentleman S
opinion Of suburban grocery in
this city was is not known, as he
refused to commit himself, but stat
ed that if he decided to locate in
Webster City he would very probably
build building in the spring in the
southwest part Of town.

Taken from his sermon last even

Church of Christ:
There are false teachers, hirelings,
who would rob the Lord Jesus Christ
of his glory and the Gospel Of its

Some people consider it a favor to

God is not the author Of sin nor

Jesus Christ is the great source of
life.
If there is anyone who needs the
prayers of Gods people. it is the
rich man.
Outside of Jesus Christ there is no
salvation for the soul.
Some criticise God for permitting
sin.
Some men will turn away from the
kingdom of Jesus Christ because
they do not understand the mysteries
Of that kingdom.
Don't criticise God for something

new CLAY PRODUCTS
PLANT IS RUM0RED
Webster City Parties are Promoting
Project-Clay is Being Tested
in East.

Fort Dodge Messenger: There is
possibility that an eastern firm
manufacturing clay products may de-
eide to locate at Lehigh, according
to a we'll founded rumor. Minnie A.
Wilson and her son and E. P. Prince
of Webster City have been buying up
surface rights of a large acreage at
LeEigh and it is said that they are
negotiating with certain eastern
people. Within the last few days
these people have secured 1900 acres
of land at the cost of $4,000, from
Samuel Mcclure, who keeps for him
self the mineral rights of the prop
erty.
During the past few days one
hundred tons of clay have been sent
out OF Lehigh by the Willson-Prince
combination. The majority of this
is going to the east and if the clay
produces good ware In the eastern
factories it is thought another plant
at Lehigh will be built.
The land is part of the Crooked
Greek holdings which was secured
some time ago by Mr.. Mcclure. When
asked concerning the rumor of the
new clay products plant Mr.. Mcclure
refused to make statement. Prince
and Wilson are both out of the
state and nothing definite could be
learned.

RAILROADS ASK
HIGHER Rates
o.. - f'' '
Homer A. Miller, Formerly Of This
City, Writes Article Dis
cussing Matter.

! Des Moines, Nov. 1O.-The atti-
| tude of the railroads in regard to
the proposed rate increase may be
found, in part at least, by a quota
Iowa National bank of this city,
| written by Homer Hitler, who Is one
of the directors of the Northwestern
railroad. AS the rate increase is
destined to be live issue very soon
the attitude of those who would fav-
or the increase is worthy of cOnsid-
Grafton. After referring to the in
creased earnings and steady prosper
ity of the railroads, the Iowa Nation
al circular of advice says:
"The new freight schedule of the
eastern roads, showing an average
increase of about 5 per cent on all
shipments, except coal, grain, etc,
will receive consideration at the
hands of the interstate commerce
commission during the coming
month. The commission has retain
ed the services of Mr.. Brandeis, Of
Boston, to advise with it after hear
ing arguments of counsel for the
railroads. The contention of the
railroads is that the cost Of mater
ials they use is higher, the average
wage Is higher and freight rates
lower, than formerly. All of this is
true, but it remains for the commits
sion to decide whether the railroads
are entitled to additional gross rev.
enue per ton mile or whether the
same result can be accomplished by
further curtailment and economies
by the railroads themselves. If
these economies are to directly affect
safety and service, the public will op-
pose them instead of opposing the
increased rates which the railroads
claim they need and must have in
order to increase the efficiency of the
service and pay the interest and div
idends on their outstanding securi-
, ties. In the last analysis, the public
at large pays all the freight, and the
same public owns the railroads Sc
curities. A careful comparison of in
terstate rates with interstate rates
would indicate to the layman that
interstate rates are appreciably
higher in proportion to the service
rendered, than are the rates charged
on interstate shipments. A general
readjustment of freight rates would
benefit the entire country could it be
accomplished and would at the same
time benefit the railroads and their
owners. The railroads also insist
that they are entitled to $15,000,-
900 more from the government for
carrying the mails than they are be-
ing paid because of the tremendous
addition to mail tonnage brought
about by parcel post"
