CHANGES AT THE
K MERCANTILE STORE
Hardware Stock Moved to Basement
Grocery Shelves Increased
in Number.

The Mercantile company are max
ing several noticeable, changes in
the rounds Of their spring house
cleaning this year. The entire stock
of hardware is being moved to the
basement, in order to make room
for the increased business in the
grocery department, which requires
more shelf room. The hardware will
be arranged on the west floor of the
basement together with the large
line Of kitchen utensils already in
stock. On the east, the floor space
is entirely taken up with the china
ware department, to which has been
added during the past week nearly
a carload of new dishes in glass and
good grade china.
A new candy case has also been
ordered for the confectionery corner
and the soda fountain has been en-
tirely. renovated and fixed up for the
coming warm days.
On the upper floor a ribbon case
has been installed for the better
display of the enlarged stock of rib
bons, and this makes the ribbon
counter mach more attractive in ap-
pearance.

RAN RUSTY IRON
THROUGH HAND
p T. TEnn of Duncomhs Sustains
Serious Injury While digging
for Old Tile.

p T.. Flynn, a banker at Dun.
eGmbe, was the victim OF very
psinful accident at his home yester.
day. MIR. Flynn was about to have
some tile put in his place in thai
town and was out in the yard dig
ging with an old shovel to find
where his old drain left off. The
tool was an old one and the rotten
handle gave way under the pressure
exerted by Mr.. Flynn and the iron,
which was pretty thoroughly rusted,
ran clear through the thick part OF
his hand. The small particles OF
rust were deeply imbedded in the
flesh and the ugly wound was diff
ticult one to dress. 1t was found
necessary to take the man to Fort
Dodge and an anesthethic was ad-
ministered while the doctors work
ed over him for two hours. During
his absence in Fort Dodge the fam

the outcome OF the accident

900 Miles in 26 Hours.

Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Neel, who
recently returned from a winters
visit in Florida, made the trip from
New Orleans to Chicago. distance
of 900 miles, in &c hours. This in
deed seems like eating up space at
a rapid rate. Mr.. and Mrs. Neel re-
port most delightful return Jour-
ney. They stopped at several points
of interest before reaching New Or
leans, visiting a week at Pensacola
and a day each at Mobile and Jack
At New Orleans. Mr.. Neel says
they took a little pleasure trip in
one of the sightseeing boats and as
they sailed along the top Of the
levee they could just see the roofs
of the houses built on the street
below them. Their landlady inform
ed them that evening that her resi-
dence was nine feet below the river.
And yet Mr.. Neel says he did not ey-
en- dream of food.

Running Along Top Of Stock Cars
and Falls Between Them
Is Rescued by the Night
Waterman.
ACCIDENT HAPPENED THIS A. M.
Was About Ready to Accompany
Shipment of Stock to the
Chicago Market.

Garfield D. Carpenter came very
near falling a victim to fatal ac-
cident in the railroad yards in this
city this morning about $50. Mr..
Carpenter had been in town yester-
day loading stock for shipment and
this morning had taken a last look
along the tops of the cars toward
the coach before the train started
upon it's trip to Chicago. In some
way his foot slipped and he fell be-
tween the cars. The nightwatch-
man happened to be in that vicinity
and hearing the sound of grooming
came to the rescue before the train
started. Mr.. Carpenter was pulled
from the track and taken to the
home Of, his sister, Mrs. c. l.. Briggs,
on Water street. Physicians we're
summoned Immediately and every
thing done to relieve the sufferer.
After careful examination it was
found that no bones were broken
but one hip injured. There were
also several slight wounds about the
body and case of hernia as a re-
suit of the fall.
Mr.. Carpenter has been unusually
unfortunate the past year or so, hav-
ing been injured in runaway a
little over year ago. His many
friends hope that his present condi-
ton may not develop into anything
any move serious than it now seems
to be, and that his recovery may
be as speedy as possible.

WAS A GOOD WEEK
FOR FARM WORK
About Ninety Per Cent Of Seeding
has Been Finished-Corn
Planting, Etc.

The past week was, as a whole,
favorable for farm work, and over
the larger part of the state, rapid
progress was made in sowing small
grain and blowing for corn. Work,
was, however, retarded in the north
western counties by heavy rains on
the 23d and oath, which were fol-
lowed in all sections by light to
heavy frosts on the last three morn
ings of the week.
About 80 per cent of the seeding
has been finished, and the remand
err will be completed within the next
few days. In the northwestern
counties, where the rainfall was the
heaviest and field work seriously re-
tarded, considerable of the acreage
intended for oats will be reserved
for corn. The early sown grain is
up and shows a good stand. Grass
is growing nicely, and in some To-
calities stock is in pasture. Fruit
trees are still in fine condition.
Plum trees are in blossom in the
central districts and all fruit buds
are beginning to swell in northern
counties. The spring pig crop is
reported to be short in many local.
tiles and especially where cholera
was prevalent last year.
The indications at the close Of the
week are favorable for rising tenn
perature, and with warm weather
corn planting will begin during the
coming week.

REPRESENTATIVE HERE TODAY.

Mr.. Arthur, a represent tive oi
/ the Capital City Film Manufactur.
ing Company of Des Moines, was in
the city today making arrangements
for placing our City Beautiful in the
moving picture world.
Mr.. Arthur proposes to make
1000 feet or more Of moving pict-
ures of this city. This VIII mean at
| least $4,000 exposures taken in and
around the business district, chief
ly though including portions of the
residence district and all public
buildings.
The film will be divided into
three sections. The first will pre-
sent the slogan of the commercial
league and similar material, follow
ed by picture of a train just en-
tering the city limits, its arrival at
the station, passen gers getting off
and on and the departure The
sightseer will then be taken for a
drive about the city, passing in re-
view the business sections and all
important public buildings, and at
least one attractive residence por-
ton
The film viii be left in the hands
of Manager Hyatt of the Orpheum
theatre and viii be accessible to the
commercial league any time they
see fit to use it. 1t will certainly be
a very valuable advertising asset,
aside from the pleasure which the
citizens win receive from thus re-
viewing the city in moving pictures.
The movement is part of a state
wide enterprise which will include
all of the large cities Of Iowa and
the more attractive small ones, SO
that Webster City is especially hon
ored in this selection. 1t will be the
only town in this county to be Wis
tied by the Des Moines company.
Among some of the cities already
included in the movement are DAY.
export, where 1000 feet of pictures
were taken; Perry and Abba re-
eeiving a finn of 400 feet each,
and several large stock farms in
southern Iowa. Des Moines Of course
is also represented and many other
cities viii be visited during the next
few weeks.
The company expect TO reach
Webster City within few weeks
and the film should be ready for ex-
hibition by the last of May. Ea
The best Pathe moving picture
camera is used by this company, and
good clear film is assured.

All members of the city council

due form.
Frank A. Huddlestun appeared
before the council on the part of the
Webster City Commercial League
and requested that additional hitch
ing racks be secured for the use of
farmers and others driving teams in
and out of the city. This matter
had already been taken up at a pre-
vious meeting and the committee
had started negotiations for secur-
ing the use of some vacant lots near
the business district of the town.
These arrangements will probably
be completed this week and the To-
cation decided upon in few days.
W. 0. Mcconnell asked permits
sion Of the city to cut down and re-
move An earth embankment on
Boone street near his home. This
matter was referred to the commit
tee on streets and alleys.
The bonds of Murray McMurray
and Varick C. Crosley, newly ap-
pointed park commissioners, were
accepted and these officers duly in
stalled. Louis Follett, also one Of
the commissioners, will file his bond
later.
A new rate schedule from
the electric light and power plant
was presented by Superintendent
Mullins and referred to the commit
tee on ordinances with instruction
to embody the same in city ordi-
nance and prepare it for publica-
ton. The new schedule is somewhat
lower than the old one and will be
especially welcomed b. the, large
consumers of power.
The usual grist of bills was al
lowed and the city fathers adjourn
ed to meet again on May 5th.
