COMMISSIONER IS
DOING GOOD WORK
The Roads Leading Into the City are
Being Put in the Best OF
Condition.

Not many of the citizens of Web
ster City realize the large amount OF
work which must necessarily be done
each year on the streets. Also but
few realize the extent of streets and
roads which come under the street
commissioners work. The entire
township of Boone, with quite a few
miles of road, and the streets OF
Webster City, must be looked after
each year and be kept in good cond1-
ton. The street commissioner at
present is hoping that winter may
hold off for at least a week more, so
the finishing touches may be done to
the roads leading into town from the
east and west. Several roads have
been graveled this fall and it is hop
ed to finish those that are now being
graveled, before snow flies. The road
running east and reached by cross
ing the Bank street bridge has been
graveled as far as the old Edwards
farm. And the road running north
from the Carpenter corner has had
eight hundred loads of gravel plac-
ed on it. The road on the west side
of town, which was newly made this
fall, is also being graveled. Consld-
cradle trouble is found in the street
commissioners department in get
ting labor, as there are only one or
two laborers that he can depend on
each day. Then there is also many
loads of dirt to be hauled away
where water and sewer connections
are made under pavement. The city
must replace the pavement SO it will
be properly laid, and this also de-
solves upon the street commission
er's department.

ONE O'CLOCK LUNCHEON.

Mrs. S. O. Osborn entertained
eighteen ladies at one o'clock Satur-
day. A delectable three course
luncheon was served, the large table
presenting a beautiful appearance
with a bouquet of rich red carna-
lions and dainty smilax as a center
piece, under which was a mirror
plateau. Red ribbons were laid from
the center of the table to each cover
where dainty name cards, embellish-
ed with turkey pictures, were found.
The afternoon hours are being spent
over sewing.
Mrs. D. Lier of Des Moines was
out of town guest.

SEVEN ARE IN
JURED when TWO
trains COLLIDE
Burlington Freight Train Hits Rock
Island Passenger Train Near
Packing Plant.

Des Moines, Nov. 2S.-Seven per-
sons were hurt, none fatally, in a
collision at the crossing of the Rock
Island and Burlington tracks near
the Des Moines Packing plant, early
yesterday morning.
Miss Iva l.. Shull of St. Paul was
the only one seriously injured. She
suffered a broken leg.
The wreck occurred on the valley
division of the Rock Island and
railroad men declare dense fog was
responsible for the accident. Half
the coaches of the Rock Island
passenger train No. 81, southbound,
had crossed the Burlington tracks
when extra freight train No. 1908,
westbound, plunged into it. The first
Pullman was struck squarely in the
middle and thrown over on its side.
The rear Pullman plunged into the
freight engine, which had plowed
half way across the track and was
derailed. The fact that the Pullman
which was struck was of steel con-
struction probably accounts for the
fact that no lives were lost.
Railroad officials declare it will
require a joint investigation to de-
termine the responsibility for the
wreck and an inquiry will be con-
Quoted at once.
