STOLEN 0VERC0AT

r 90 r'.i-.. ~, ',h.,E" =

Sheriff Nelson is looking for the
stranger who is wearing an overcoat
stolen from a ditching. camp near
Jewell. 1t seems from the report
that the stranger drifted into camp
and asked for work which was given
him, but after two or three days he
decided he would move on and was
given his pay. No attention was
paid to the strangers leaving until
yesterday evening, when it was dis
covered that an overcoat belonging
to a ditcher by the name of Jenson
was gone. The sheriff was notified
at once of the theft and is at pres
ient looking for the man who took
the coat. This is the third attempt
to steal an overcoat in the county in
the past month and it seems that in
every instance the thieves are
strangers. The chances are that if
this thief is brought to justice he
will be given the full sentence and
the stealing of overcoats will be dis
couraged.

Meet Again Friday Night to Take up
and Consider Resolutions of
Necessity.

The city council met last night
and proposition which was present.
ed by the Freeman-Tribune Publish
ing Company in regard to city print
ing was read and upon motion was
left to the claims committee for fur
ther consideration and action.
The specifications for the con-
struction of sewers in Webster City
was presented by the city engineer
and adopted by the council and fill
ed in the office of the city clerk.
The current bills were then read
and allowed after which the council
adjourned until Friday evening
when resolutions of necessity will be
taken up to cover the large amount
of Improvements which are planned
for the coming year. These improve
ments will cover good many blocks
of paving as we'll as curb and gutter
ing. This early action will place the
city in a position to start the work
on time in the spring and finish be-
fore cold weather next fall.
Webster City freeman., 1913-11-25
The Right Way,

The city council is to be commend
ed for getting at the preliminary
work for next years street improve
ments SO early. Last season the pre-
liminaries were allowed to drag
along until spring and the bidding
for the work did not take place until
late. This, it was claimed, was one
of the reasons for the high prices
paid for paving and curb and gutter,
as it was stated that many of the
contractors had already secured all
the work they could do and did not
care to take on more. Next years
street improvements will be under
the new law, which gives just relic.
to corner lot owners.

Webster City Couple Fail to Get
Marriage License at Fort
Dodge.

Fort Dodge Chronicle, Nov. 20
Sidney Miller, who halls from Web
ster City, and Miss Wilda Davis,
whose home is also at the Hamilton
county capital, will continue for the
present to abide in single blessed
ness. This is contrary to their in
tention when they came to Fort
Dodge Saturday afternoon and pre-
sented themselves to Deputy Clerk
H Heileman with a request for a Ii
cense to marry.
The intending benedict was very
youthful in appearance for a man
claiming to be 81 years old and the
years of his partner were manifestly
under the limit. The age Of the lat
ter was given as II, and as the
couple had not provided themselves
with the parental consent, Mr.. He'll
eman refused for the time being to
issue the document they sought and
gave the usual blank form of con-
sent 10 the marriage of minor. The
| young man returned a couple of
hours later .th a paper which bore
no resemblance to the form which
they were told to have filed. That
it was very clumsy fake was appar-
ent from the writing, which was all
in one hand, including the alleged
signature OF the young woman S
parents. Mr.. Heileman again eX-
planned the necessity to have the
right blank filled in proper form and
Along about ! o'clock at night the
deputy clerk was called to the office
over the telephone and young Miller
put into his hand the form which
had been given him. He said he had
driven to Webster City in an auto
mobile and hoped it would be all
right this time. The blanks, how
ever. were filed in in the same hand
as the previous paper and the names
| of the father and mother written
with the same pen and ink as that
used in the other blank sections. The
certificate also purported to bear the
iurat of John Refill, but that too,
was plainly forged in the same hand
as the rest of the writing. The pa
pc bore no seal. Miller explained
that Refill was a Webster City JUS
tice Of the peace.
Mr.. Heileman refused in emphatic
terms TO be made the victim of Il
clumsy fraud. Miller left the office
in hurry when he found that a
charge of forgery could be brought
against him. What later became OF
the couple no information is at hand.

L. H. soURs SAID

Paragraphs taken from his SER
mon last evening on Proving Your
Title" Acts. 26-1O:
Some people think that the minis
ters of the Church of Christ make 1t
easy for a person to get to heaven
That all they want is to get them
under the water and that is all there
is to 1t.
- The Church of Jesus Christ stands
for holiness and perfection as reveal
ed in the Scriptures.
1t is beautiful thing to be
Christian and be in close commun-
ion with God.
When Jesus Christ comes to this
world, | believe He will demand that
everyone of you prove your title to
your home in Heaven. Can you
prove your title? Can you establish
your claim to those mansions in the
skies?
turned to God and are you doing the
works worthy of repentance?
Some say, why yes, my title is
clear. My name is on the church
books and | pay twenty-five cents
year to church expenses. | have at
tended every funeral for twenty-five
years. and I gave an old pair of
shoes to the ladies to send to the Or
phans. When the folks were sick
, across the street | gave them two
quarts of skim milk. When | was a
baby my folks had me baptized.
Why, / guess my title is all right
This Is the kind of life great
many church members are living to-
| day, and I want to say that if you
are banking on an eternal home in
heaven on this kind Of life YOU
will miss out.
We sing Lord l care not for
riches" yet we wear out the Indian
head on the pennies getting all we
! can. We sing "All for Jesus and
you cannot get some folks to give
| two minutes of their time to the
| Lord. Again We sing Jesus, I my
cross have taken, all to leave and
follow thee" and we rob God Of
time, money and talents.
There is nothing so nauseating
as stingy man. Stingy with his
time, his money, his talents.
g. 1t is just as hard for a stingy man
to get into heaven as a rich man.
Sometimes I believe some people
shrink up early in life because they
are so stingy. Why, ] have known
church people to sell picked eggs
for fresh ones, and a deacon in GER
tain church was so stingy that when
he wanted tea he would go and ask
for samples rather than spend thir-
ty cents. and do that six months in
the year: and by this time he may
be so stingy that he is trying to put
lightning bugs in his bees so they
can see to make honey by night.
| want to say that it is nothing
against the religion Of Jesus Christ
because there are men like that in
the church, and when an outsider
says he Is as good as that crooked
corkscrew of man, he is bringing
himself down to pretty low level
There is nothing on earth any
meaner than a hypocrite.
A hypocrite in the church needs
repentance and a hypocrite is abso-
luteIy no excuse for anybody CT ticis-
ing the church and staying out of it,
You can never get through to
heaven without repentance.
Men and women in the church,
and out OF the church, repent
