NO REUNION TO Be
HELD This YEAR
Conflicting Dates Responsible-Too
Late for an Outdoor Meeting,
it is Thought.

Editor Freeman-Tribune: For the
information Of those interested, the
officers and executive committee Of
the Hamilton County Soldiers Re-
union Association hereby announce
that there will be no reunion held
this year. Owing to conflicting
dates it was found impraticable to
hold the meeting in the early part
of September as had been intended
and now it seems too late to have an
outdoor meeting, and many of the
Comrades do not favor the idea Of
an indoor meeting. We hope that
those Comrades who have so greatly
enjoyed these reunions in the past
and who will be disappointed at oar
failure to get together this year viii
appreciate the difficulties that have
been encountered by those in charge
of arrangements and accept the de-
cision to postpone our meeting until
next year as the best that could be
arrived at under the circumstances.

wins THE GAME
Our High School Team Defeats New
Providence Academy Team
in Football Contest.
SCORE FINALLY STOOD 81 TO 0
New Providence Team Outclassed all
Along the Line by Webster
A.. ~'~-- City.

The foot ball game played in this
city Saturday between the high
school team of Webster City and
the New Providence academy team
of New Providence, resulted in a de-
cisive defeat of the academy team.
The home team outplayed the visi-
tors in every way, gaining ground
at all times and their own goal was
never in danger. The visitors were
hardly as heavy, nor as fast as the
high school men, and in most of the
game. were on the defensive. Five
touchdowns, goal being kicked four
times of the five, and a drop kick,
made the score at the end of the
game 81 to 0. Each man on the
home team showed Improvement ov-
|er his previous playing. Gilmore, at
left half, made a ninety yard run in
the last quarter for touchdown,
making the most spectacular play of
the game. Harold Lane was substi-
tuted twice in the game, going in
for a play in which he attempted to
drop kick, succeeding in making one
from 25 yards. No man on the home
team outplayed his fellow players.
while the quarterback and the right
half for the visitors, were entitled to
the largest share of the credit for
holding Webster City down to the
final score.
Following are the lineups of the
| two teams:

A Correction.

1t seems that the Freeman Tribune
was informed in regard to the
purse recently taken by mistake
from the Birdsall millinery store.
The purse was left carelessly by its
owner upon some packages belong
ing to Mrs. Grace Holzer, who in her
hurry picked it up with her pack
ages and took it to her place of resi-
dence. AS soon as she arrived at
the house she told the lady with
whom she is living, of the presenl e
OF the purse and at once started on
her way to take it back to the store.
This is all there was to the occur
renee and these seems to have been
no reason for any suspicious against
any one, as there was nothing mys-
terious about the happening in any
way. The purse was simply taken
by mistake and the lady who took il
returned it Immediately upon dis
covering her error The Freeman
! Tribune is glad to make this Correc.
ton, as 1t realizes an injustice was
done and that Mrs. Holzer, though
| her identity was unknown at tht
time, was put in false light.

IS YOUR PAVING AS

The city council has spread the
assessment for the paving and curb

feel that their assessments are too
high or who believe there has been
any irregularities or inequalities in
the work. to make their objections
in writing to the city clerk not later
than the 2Sth of the present month.
Then the council will meet on the
evening of November 3rd TO consider
such objections and make such
changes or corrections as may seem
equitable. 1t is understood that

Ioines conference.

MONIES conferences.
At the service Sunday morning
the evangelist spoke from Isaiah
40:31, putting particular emphasis
upon the last part Of the verse
which afirms that they that wait
upon the Lord "shall walk and not
faint" His thought was the value
of "the dependable man."
In the evening he preached on the
Parable of the Great Supper, and
the excuses offered by those who
were invited to the feast. The ex-
cuses offered by most people for their
failure to meet their religious obli-
cations were frankly characterized as
lies. There were several conversions
at the evening service.
There will be services each night
this week except on Saturday even
ing. The services will begin prompt
at 1880. The popular mems chorus
lead in the singing, and will fur
nish special numbers. The public is
cordially invited to participate in
these meetings. Come early and en-
joy the song service.

FARMER SHOT AT IN
ROSE GROVE TOWNSHIP
Carl Halverson Gets a Bad Scare
Officers Have Not Been
.' Notified.

There seems to be some one In
Rose Grove that is inclined to be
handy with firearms. Whether 1t
was through hatred or carelessness
is not known, but one farmer Of
Rose Grove township received bad
scare few nights ago from the ef-
fects of being shot at. Carl Halver-
son had been lying on the lounge
and at bed time arose to lock the
house. When he reached hall door
and was closing it shot was fired,
striking the door within few inches
of him. AS he was unprepared for
an emergency OF this kind he, with
his family, went to neighbors and
spent the night. 1t hardly seems
possible that this could be the work
of some one intending murder, but
on the other hand 1t seems improb-
able that any one would be on the
road or in the yard with a firearm
at that time of the night carelessly
handling a gun. Nothing had been
heard before nor was anything heard
after that one shot. The county au-
thorities have not been apprised of
the facts, as Mr.. Halverson has no
idea who was the miscreant and does
not wish to stir the neighborhood up
until he has some inkling who took
the shot at him. Such cases, if
caught, should be dealt with severe
ly, as the average citizen wishes to
be able to walk to his door without
a possibility of being shot.

Nothing Over WASHINGTON

In the primary department OF one
of the local sunday schools Sunday
the teacher was trying to impress
the greatness Of King Solomon, on
the plastic minds of the children and
said, Remember. King Solomon was
the greatest man who ever lived.
An eight year old boy was bit scep-
teal about the greatness OF the dead
and gone king and remarked, We'll,
he wasn't the first president anyway,
Washington was that"

Game a Disappointment.

The base ball game played in Fort
Dodge Sunday between the Des
Moines Western League team and
the Fort Dodge Independents was to
the fans Of this city a flzzle. But
one regular Des Moines player was
on the field while the rest of the
team were pickups and men from
the Hopkins Bros. team of Des
Moines. Fort Dodge won by a score
of 5 TO i. The fans of this city who
attended were disappointed and
while the game itself was fair the
people expected to see league team
on the field as advertised instead OF
a bunch of pick ups from throu ghout
the state.

.tions and alley intakes are going to
ask the council to give them some
relief, which the council will prob
ably do. There has been a number
of property owners relieved who
made objections in the past. The
Funk estate was allowed a liberal
reduction on corner lots, as were the
Masons, and M. l.. Mccullough also
secured a reduction. 1t is only a
matter of justice for the council to
equalize these matters and there is
no reason to believe that they will
not do it If the subject is properly
brought before them at the right
time. The individual property own
er should stand upon his rights in
these matters. To protest against
an unfair assessment doesn't mean
that one is opposed to such improve
ments. 1t simply means that he
wants each citizen to bear his equit-
able share Of the cost.

the same restrictions should apply to

OUR PAVED STREETS
IN BAD CONDITION
A Better System Of Cleaning is Need
ed-The Flushing Method
a Good One.

A day like today shows the urg-
ent need of bigger street cleaning
force or a better arrangement OF
cleaning appliances. Leaves and de-
bris collect. in every corner and
these, together with old papers and
dust, make a paved street look worse
than the unpaved. Other cities have
used the flushing system on the
streets with telling effect and with
far less danger from flying dust and
disease germs than by the old way
which merely makes a great dust,
and only disposes of the larger
refuse. AS the city acquires NOR e
paved streets there should be more
and better methods of street clean
ing which is Systematically arrang-
ed. Then our city would be as we'll
ordered and swept on one day as
another. The flushing system would
also serve to keep the hydrants in
better order in times of fire and two
birds might be killed with one stone
