Getting no Salary.

Some of the Webster City council
men have been having considerable
fun at each others expense over the
fact that they are working now and
have been for some time without a
salary. Under the law, councilmen
are allowed only $50 a year as COM
pensation, and this is supposed to
cover about twenty-five meetings,
but with the added work of the past
several years the fifty dollars was
soon used, even at dollar meet
ing. However, the council at pres
ent are an unusually hard working
lot of men and as no one who is
elected to the position expects any
substantial reward, from the city, for
his work, it has lately developed in
to huge joke among the local alder
men.

would AFFECT WEB
STfR CITY OFFICE
Democrats Want to Gust Republican
Deputy Postmasters, Now Un-
der Civil Service.

If the democrats in congress sue
coed in getting deputy postmasters
stricken from the civil service, as
they succeeded in getting United
States marshals and district attor-
neys taken from the classified lists,
the Webster City postoffice will be
affected and Assistant Postmaster
Geo. w. Best will be required to
walk the plank. However, Senator
Kenyon and other representatives of
the people at Washington who be-
lieve in the principle of civil service
reform are fighting the efforts of the
spoils hunters to undo the good
work in behalf of good government
that has followed the extension Of
the application of civil service. The
people of Webster City would regret
exceedingly to see Mr.. Best displaced
on account of politics. He is very
capable and has served the people so
we'll and faithfully that everybody
is his friend. The democratic plat
form pledges the democratic party to
civil service, but that doesn't seem
to make much difference with the
partisan leaders in congress who see
only the stake of Office as the reward
of party success

Sore at the Central.

Fort Dodge, which apparently
thinks the railroad system of the
United States was made and is OPP
Grated for its special benefit, is very
sore at the Illinois Central road for
not putting on some extra trains to
accommodate that city. The people
are having themselves interviewed
by the newspapers and some of the
things they are saying about the Hill
nois Central are really shocking.
They are even threatening to boycott
the road. Yet the train service of
the Central is admirable for Fort
Dodge. Shoppers from that city can
come to Webster City on the train
that gets here at 1888 in the morn
ing, do their trading and get back
home about ten o'clock. Or they
can come in the afternoon at sos,
make extensive purchases at our
stores Of the higher grades of goods
not carried in the Fort, and return
home on the evening train. With
such accommodations as that it Ii
difficult to understand why the Fort
Dodge people are kicking, unless II
Is through force of habit.

SALVATION ARMY
FEEDS SEVENTY
Gave Fine Christmas Dinner at Their
Hall on Seneca Street-Plenty
For All.

The annual Christmas tree and
dinner held by the Salvation army of
this city was given as usual in the
Army hall on Christmas day. A big
dinner was served at noon, to which
the seventy people present did full
justice. Many of the viands for this
annual feast were donated by the
merchants of the town, to which adj
ditions were made by housewives, of
cooked food such as cakes and pies,
bread, etc. In the evening a pro-
gram of songs and recitations by the
little ones belonging to the Sunday
school conducted by the Army, was
given, which was followed by a
Christmas tree upon which were
gifts of candy and nuts for the sixty
little children. Substantial gifts of
clothing were also given. Capt Wal
lace reporting that $50 worth of
clothing was given out. Money for
part of the clothing was donated by
popular subscription, and the re-
mainder made up by merchants who
made special prices to Capt. Wallace
on the clothing. 1t is desired through
these columns to thank all those who
were directly or indirectly helpful in
providing this treat for the poor,
which is so looked forward to by the
children, on whom the burden Of
poverty always rests more heavily.
Especial mention is desired of the
Elks and business men, who aided
literally in money and merchandise.

Mrs. Mary l.. Ribbey has filed a
petition in the district court asking
for a divorce from Frank l.. Ribbey.
The petition alleges that the defend
ant is cruel; that he has beat, bruis-

children; that he has also attacked
them with dangerous and deadly
weapons; that he is also an habitu-
al drunkard and makes vile charges

TREE q YEARS OLD;
l6 OR Is inches HIGH
japanese Curiosity-May be Seen at
the Hamilton County State
Bank.

One OF the most interesting of
Christmas presents was received this
year by L. A. McMurray and may be
seen in the Hamilton County State
Bank. 1t was presented to him by
Mrs. McMurray, and is a Japanese
pine tree twenty-one years old, which
only reaches a height of about six
teen or eighteen inches. The trunk
is grey and gnarled and aged look
ing, and the whole bears about as
much resemblance to large pine of
the forest as a midget human being
does to man of full stature; the ap-
pearance of age is there but the lit
tie dwarf has not been permitted to
grow beyond a certain size. The
dwarfing of trees is an art peculiar
only to the Japanese and is elabor-
ately explained in horticultural his
tory. Books bearing on the subject
are hard to find, however, and the
theory of hearsay only, is known to
Mr.. McMurray. That is, that for a
season, the young tree is placed
roots upward in the soil and the top
of the tree planted; another theory
advanced has been that the tree at
some critical period, has been "bled'
in horticultural language, and the
life giving sap allowed to escape.
However the manner of producing
this curiosity, it is a pretty evidence
Of the wonderful knowledge possess
ed by our little brown brothers over
the seas, of the habits and vagaries
of trees and flowers. A note from the
Japanese florist in New York City,
where the gift was purchased, is
fastened to the tree and gives the
following lucid instructions as to its
care. Perhaps the American florist
in Toxic, would, if compelled to give
the instructions in his best Japanese,
not make better showing.
Glow care the garden water ev-
cry day expose on the sun and fresh
air keep moist all way"

Adding another triumph to it:

Famous Players Film Company, re.
sponsible for the productions Of
Queen Elizabeth" with Sarah Bern.
hardt, "The Prisoner of Zenda" with
James K. Hackett, "Tess of the
D'Urbervilles" with Mrs. Fiske, has
now presented Lily Langtry, univer-
sal stage favorite and world-famed
as one of the greatest emotional act
resses of the day, in a tense dramatic
play, Ellis Neighbours Wife,"
The role provides her with one Of
the strongest characterizations of her
illustrious career, and her vigorous
portrayal is strengthened by a story
teeming with intense suspense and
appeal. A good woman's unswerv-
ing faith in the man whose name she
has taken, her courageous devotion
to her husband when she learns he
has been faithless, her nobility and
loyalty in her willingness to sacrifice
her life for his, are suggested with
out resorting to hysterical exaggera-
ton, but rather by means of care
full and precise delineation.
Mrs. Langtry's art makes the film
preach a powerful sermon. At the
matinee and night, Deem

Dedicate New School,

Ellsworth News: The dedication
of the new school building tool
place Monday afternoon in mos
BETTING manner.
Hundreds ! f people were presen
to take in the exercises and felt wei
repaid for attending.
The new school building was opel
for inspection and many took adj
vantage of the opportunity to fine
out what some of the advantages
would be by sending their children
to school in Ellsworth. They found
that the childSwould find every com
fort in the new school house that
could be found in the most modern
homes.
They found that the building was
not only a beauty from outside ap-
pearances but it was convenient in
heat, light and ventilation from the
inside.
1t is practically a fire proof build
ing and is one of the most substan'
tial structures in this village.
And with a building in Ellsworth
that will meet every requirement for
years to come it was only to be ex-
pected that the people should turn
out in great crowds to listen to the
dedication exercises.
From beginning to end of his talk
Mr.. Deyoe kept his listeners inter
ested and told them that what he
said was from actual knowledge, and
not from hearsay or from what he
had read.
In the evening, Prof. d. M. Kelly
superintendent of the public schools
of Webster City, gave an address in
the auditorium of the new building
and standing room was at prem
ium.
Prof. Kelly had formed an outline
for his address of the evening, but
upon his arrival found his subject
was not what he wanted to use anC
he made chit and miss and miss
and hit" address.
But from the attention he receiv'
ed during his address and the favor
able comment made by his listeners
at the close, his address was vel
taken.
Mr.. Kelly admitted that a mixet
crowd of children and parents was
the hardest kind of proposition fol
him, but those who heard him, think
that if he can please one kind of {
crowd any better than he does {
mixed crowd. he must be a good talk

Can't Shoot Quail Until
Twentieth Of November
Confusion as to game law is corrected.

Sportsmep Of Georgia have been
considerably disturbed over the re-
cent incorrect statements in some
of the state newspapers Of the game
laws Of Georgia, particularly that
relating toquail hunting. Some have
published statements saying the
open season for quail begins Sep
TENDER /, when in truth it begins
November 90. 1t was formerly No
vember I, but was set back twenty
days.
Following is the list Of dates Of
the open season and the bag limit
as taken from the state game laws:
Quail, Dove, Turkey and Flowers
November 30 to March T.
Snipe-December to May +
Woodcock and Summer Duck
December to January 1.
Deer September | to December
I.
Cat Squirrel August | to JAM
uary /.
Migratory Duck October | to
January /.
Quail, Woodcock, Summer Duck
and Ployer Twenty-Five in any one
day.
Doves and snipe-Forty in one
day.
Deer (bucks only)-Three in any
one season.
Turkey (gobblers only)-Tlree
IN any season.
These laws are being rigidly en-
forced and Lee county game war
den, while believing in being true
sportsman, also contends that the
laws must be enforced and twill be
to the advantage Of the hunters to
obey them.
