The Yankee Robinson shows that

circus that has been in Ottumwa for
two years and from the crowds on the

believe that there had not been snow

councilmen Answer Attack.
In reply to the assertions Of the
mayor, Alderman Mcdaniel said that
Leeny was at the city hall to get cir
Gus tickets. Mr.. Bremhorst asked Mr..
Leeny how much actual work he per-
formed on the board Of review, and fol-
lowed by saying that it was generally
understood that Mr.. Leeny did not
want to go to the packing plant.
In supporting the assessors increase
of the Morrell plant Mr.. Mcdaniel
showed the taxes paid by competing
packing houses in the state saying that
Morrells paid more than any institu-
ton in this vicinity. Mr.. Mcdaniel
also said that Leo Stevens, a former
Ottumwan, now in Des Moines, was
endeavoring to get the Morrell people
to remove to Des Moines
c. o. Taylor remarked that no one
present was dissatisfied with the Nor
ren plant assessment. but he said that
much dissatisfaction would be felt If
the council did not accept the bond
offered In lieu Of the increases. He
called the councils attention to the
vast difference between farm and city
taxation, and argued that what he and
the balance of the bond subscribers
wanted was the privilege Of providing
the city with more money than would
be raised by the increases, but at the
same time not be compelled to pay into
the county and state funds some addi-
tional taxes. Mr.. Mcdaniel said that
the county needed the money as we'll
as the city. a.
The meeting then adjourned.

In raising the assessments already ha
met with criticism"
Dissatisfaction Felt.

Mr.. Lewis said that the committee
present had the good of the city at
heart. He said that all citizens de-
sires to protect the boys in the east
end and at the Dain plant, but he eau
toned the council not to forget the
boys and girls who are employed by
the thousands In the business zone Of
the city. Mr.. Lewis stated that there
were more men and women employed
In the business houses Of Ottumwa
than In all the manufacturing plants
Of the city.
w. w. Cory voiced strong objections
10 the increased valuations and he
urged that the board accept the cash
bond in preference to the tax raise.
II want to tell your honorable body
that j have been in Ottumwa ever
since 1t was a village and In all that
time / never saw such dissatisfaction
with the town and conditions. II you
fail to accept this pledged money IN
preference to the raise In taxes there
will be great deal more dissatisfac-
ton. Let us get together and all pull
the same way Mr.. Cory urged the
board to accept the cash bonus in pre-
ference to leaving the valuations as
they now stand. The bone and sinews
Of the town are protesting and trust
that you will do what is right closed
Mr. Cory.
G. O. Taylor spoke before the board
along the same lines as did Mr.. Lewis
and Mr.. Garner. He saw no reason
why the board should not accept the
money, in lieu OF the increased taxes.
Mr.. Taylor maintained that the city
was not deriving all OF the money from
Increases in valuations and he urged
that the pledged subscriptions be TAX
en-. "Our county and state tax are suf-
ficiently high now and | see no rea-
son why we should pay MORE" said
Mr.. Taylor in closing.
Mayor Leeny Heard.
Following Mr.. Taylor's remarks May
or Leeny voiced a vehement criticism
OF Councilmen McDaniels and Brem-
horst and Assessor John Peck for the
manner they persued raising the taxes
OF John Morrell & Co. Mayor Leeny
said: II want to tell you gentlemen,
right here that you haven't all got the
same treatment. l am sorry to say
that the conditions under which you
have all been assessed are not the
same. This morning Gene Mcdaniel
and Bremhorst and Assessor Peck
went to the Morrell plant and raised
their assessment and they never told
me they were going. Mind you, r.
didn't know they were going. They
slipped one over on me, but don't in
tend to be the goat up here. I was
elected fairly and squarely and 1 don't
intend to stand for anything like what
happened this morning. You all look
alike to me, and believe in raising
n. d. Fosters taxes exactly the same
as do you. I respect T. D. Foster
as should ever law-abiding citizen. He
is our biggest man and we owe him
respect, but I am heartily against the
actions pulled off on me by Bremhorst
and Mcdaniel this morning"
Mayor Leeny maintained that he
had asked the commissioners to have
Assessor Peck list the packing plant
over three weeks ago, and he charged
the councilmen with advising Mr.. Peck
not to visit the Morrel plant until yes
terday. He called upon Mr.. Peck to
substantial his remarks, but the a.

Tulsa Okla, Oct. 19.-Having dis
covered that ghouls have been at work
in the place, a guard has been placed
over the old Creek burying ground,
six miles northwest of this city. Here
are buried some of the most noted of
the old-time Creek leaders. Lately it
was found that a number of graves
had been opened. This aroused great
feeling among the old-time Creeks liv-
ing in this part of the state and the
county was appealed to for protection.
There is talk of inclosing the old bury
ing ground with a wall with but a
single entrance and a strong iron gate
that will be kept locked. Many of the
victims of the famous Green Peach
war, in 1881 are buried in this grave
yard.

STORE ENTERED
SUNDAY MORNING
WESTHEIMER & DAu5E'S STORE
ENTERED BY BREAKING GLASS
IN THE FRONT DOOR.

The dry goods store of Westheimer
& Daube was buglarized Sunday NOR.
ming sometime between 3 o'clock and
daylight. Entrance was gained by
breaking the plate glass in one of the
front doors. Some $l2 or $lj in
money was taken, some socks and
some ties We're missing, and probably
few other pieces of merchandise.
The cash register in the grocery de
partment was hammered until it is
probably ruined, but it was not open
ed There was no money to amount
to anything in the register and had
the burglar succeeded in opening il,
he would have been not much the bet
ter off.
The burglar first tried to open the
back door. 1t was barred from the
inside and the windows were also
heavily barred with iron, and after
this attempt, it seems, that
the burglar decided to go to the front
door to make the entrance 1t is
believed if the entrance had been
made from the back way, that more
would have been taken.
While the fellow was on the in
side, he took time to eat a can of
salmon and also opened a can of
corn. A box of matches was found in
he store.
