Wanted. a Band.

Any band desiring position
would do well to apply to Colonel
Hyatt of the seth regiment. The
regular band of this regiment was
mustered out few days ago and
since that time Colonel Hyatt has
been considerably worried to find a
band to take their place. There has
been more or less trouble with the
band which was in Des Moines and
which was attached to the seth regi-
ment, as last summer they wished
to be mustered out on account of the
military duties and pay conflicting
with the musicians union with
which they We're all affiliated. A
company of fifty-eight men would al
SO be acceptable to the regiment, as
they now have only eleven compan-
les and one more company would
probably be of more importance than
regimental band.

New Road Nearly Graded.

Quite number of people have
taken interest in the new road be-
ing built on west Second street. The
crew in charge OF the large oil tract
or which belongs to the county ex-
peCted to finish their work on the
road last week, but on account of bad
weather and the engine needing ov-
erhauling the work was not COM
pleted. However, very probably it
will be in a day or so. The firm
which sold the county the machine
have sent an expert mechanic here
to overhaul the engine and place it
in perfect shape so that the work
may be done at an early date. The
county has nothing to do with this
work, the city officials hiring the
county crew and engine TO help build
the road. Those who have been on
the road and inspected it state that
it is exceptionally good One can
now drive straight west on Second
street until directly south of the east
line of the Helmick farm, thence
north across the Illinois Central rail-,
road, thus avoiding the dangerous
overhead crossing on Fair avenue.

w. II. Cook.

Ellsworth News: When one hear
Webster City mentioned, he can al
most imagine that he sees w. H
Cook prancing up the street, pinl
whiskers carefully curried down,
I red necktie fastened to his thora!
and a cutaway coat strapped upol
| his Herculean anatomy.
! No one knows just how old Mr.
Cook is, as all of the earliest recol
lections Of the pioneers are that thu
first they ever knew of him was tina
he was husking corn in a wheelbar
row and trying to turn the vehicle
into some musical instrument.
If The ever was born he undoubted
ly had a Jews harp in his mouth
an accordian in one hand and cello
in the other. He's music from be.
ginning to end and il the grim reap.
er ever manages to get a strangle
hold on him, he can do it best by eX.
IRENE changes Of atmosphere, as nc
one is doubling but what he is con-
structed upon the same principal as
a piano.
We defy any one to talk to him
for five minutes without hearing
him mention music and when he
gets to talking music he uses words
that would tear the mouth of a rub
Der doll.
He tells of the beautiful strains
of great singers, and we know they
are under no greater strain than
some of the young ladies who wear
a 16 inch belt on "a inch waist
line.
He tells of the warblings of Jenny
Lind, the rumblings of Caruso and
the ramblings of Cole Younger.
He mikes music with his meals
and he dreams music in his sleep.
He hates a bum note worse than this
community hates bum editor. He
loves good music like doting moth
er loves her wayward son and he
stays right in line with the up-to-
the-time-of going-to-press music.
He sells pianos for living and

Mr.. Cook is a ladies man, and
though he has never made the re-
mark, there are no doubts floating
around that he would have made a
mighty good follower of Solomon
we have just about forgotten wheth
err Solomon was the man with many
wives or the fellow that had the
coat of many colors.
If Mr.. Cook has saved all the
money he has worked the Hamilton
county newspapers for in advertis
Ing his concert, he is worth at least
n million dollars, but as they were
always a losing proposition. finan-
cially, it may pull his valuation
down to five hundred thousand.
But anyway, Mr.. Cook enjoys a
good business, good time and
good wife. Please take notice that
he enjoys them all and when they
quit making music. w H. Cook will
sure go out of business.

talks music to his customers to keel
the rheumatism out of his jaw. He
also deals in monographs and con
cert courses and takes the profits OF
the former to make up the deficit OF
the latter.
When on full feed, Mr.. Cook
weighs 1877 pounds and stands .
feet 10 in his wooden pajamas. He
could weigh much more, but loses SO
much of his eating time, looking for
some one that will listen to him eX-
plain the latest classical overture,
written by an artist with their
name way up toward the top row
on the ladder of fame.
He will start his story in andante,
usually applying the soft pedal, and
in the treble clef As he becomes
warmed up to his subject he pulls
out the allegro stop and ends with a
staccato expression.
Besides being a lover of music.

A Quiet Evening.

Friday night was probably one
OF the quietest Halloweens that has
ever passed in Webster City. The
boys did not seem to care to raise
the disturbances that have been
Nightmares to the citizens of this
city in past years. Several years
ago the night of Halloween was
made hideous by whistles, bells and
other noises and it was no uncom-
mon thing to see steam tractors,
hayracks and other vehicles being
rapidly propelled through the main
streets. These pranks seem
to have passed out of vogue and the
youngsters are satisfied to pass the
evening at parties or in other di-
versions which do not keep the old
er people in a state of expectation.
While there were few parts of
town which show that the night
was not entirely forgotten, in COM
parison with other Halloweens not
much damage was done

POLICE FIRE INTO THE MOB

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 3.-Tht
indianapolis Traction & Termina
company, whose men went on strike
Friday night, attempted to run its
cars yesterday, but gave up when
notified by superintendent of Police
Hyland that the police would be I'M
able to prevent bloodshed unless
the cars were withdrawn. Joseph
johnson, striking motorman, was
shot and wounded by policeman
who fired into the crowd that surged
around the first car to be sent out
Two cars were taken from the
barns, each filled with policemen
but the crowds packed around them
so tightly they could not be moved
Soon after the shooting of Johnson
they were ordered back to the barns
Governor Ralston in a statement
last night charged that the city au-
thorities were not doing their duty
in falling to provide police protec-
ton. He refused a request of May
or Lew Shank for state troops, de-
claring the mayor had full authority
and power to provide sufficient pro-
lection to run the cars.
In an attempt last night to rush
the Louisiana street car barns,
where the imported strikebreakers
are quartered, Isaac Fleischer, "a
years old, a strikebreaker from
Philadelphia, was fatally shot in the
neck and died on the way to the
city hospital. Fleischer was shot by
one of the men in the barn, who
was firing into the crowd from a
second story window.
The police had the streets around
the barns roped and when they let
down the rope for an automobile to
pass, the crowd rushed through.
The strikers and their friends
pushed past the police and as they
approached the barns, they We're
met with a volley of shots. Fleisch-
er fell almost at the feet of Police
Sergeant Sanders, whom he was
helping to stop the rush. He was the
only one hit. The mobs then start
ed for the Washington street barns,
but were met at the labor temple
by Milton l.. Clawson, an attorney
prominent in labor circles, who per-
suaded them to dispense.
One hundred and fifty strikebreak-
ers from Cincinnati were expected
to arrive last night.

JUDGE WILL REDUCE
ALIMONY IF RAINES
PAYS $720 ARREAR S

Robert T. Raines, a local accountant,
will be forced to pay his former wife, Mrs.
Leonora Raines, 1920 before March l if
he hopes to modify an altmony judgment
rendered against him in superior court
twelve years ago.
Superior Judge Bell today issued an Or
der in the Raines case in which he ruled
a modification of the court judgment of
1900 If Raines settled a permanent ali
mOny judgment of S720 The order of
1900. a judgment for temporary alimony
of $500, was reduced by Judge Bell to
$500
Mrs Leonora Raines, formerly Miss
Sheehan. of Atlanta, is at present in Par
is as a correspondent for American news
papers. The defaulted alimony judgment
held by her husband was revived in SUI
perior court year ago, when Raines re-
turned to this city with his second wife.
Raines then sought to enjoin the col
lection of the alimony but the su-
preme court decided that the superior
court orders were binding.
Several weeks ago he appeared before
Judge Bell and asked for a modification
of the old order for temporary alimony
on the grounds that the collection of so
large a sum would be unjust to his pres
ent wife and family
