MERR|LL.C0. IN
NEW BUILDING
BRANCH OF OTTUMWA WHOLE
SALERS AT CRESTON MOVES
INTO LARGER QUARTERS.

Creston, Nov. Although the stock
of the J. II. Merrill Wholesale Grocery
| Co., a branch of the Ottumwa firm
has been in the process of being NOV
ed from the old location on North
Pine street to the handsome new quar-
tiers on West Adams street for sever
not transferred till Tuesday and now
the firm is in entire possession OF
their new building.
The new wholesale house is one Of
the best of it's size in Iowa, and is a
credit alike to Creston and southwest
Iowa. The building is 30x12O feet in
size and four stories in height includ
ing the basement. The foundation is
very substantial, being constructed sc
strongly of reinforced concrete that
| it will carry additional stories on tor
of the present building should the in
creased business of the firm in the
next few years call for more hooI
space.
The walls of the basement are en-
tirely of reinforced concrete, while
those above the ground are OF hollow
| tile and brick. The whole building is
very strongly built, the Orders and
joists being equal to double the ordin
airy loads that they will be called upon
! to carry. The roof is of five ply tai
and gravel, Barrett specifications.
The office which is 1920 feet IN
size, is located in the front end OF
the building, and is q very neat place
in which to transact business, being
entirely up to date in every detail. 1t
is well lighted in the daytime by large
windows in front and side, while IL
Elimination is furnished at night by
handsome electric lights of the semi
indirect type.
In the basement may be found the
canned goods and all groceries sub
iect to freezing, which will be effect
ually protected from the cold by be-
ing stored there. The heavy grocer.
les are all to be found on the first
floor, which is also the floor on which
all goods are unloaded into the build
ing for distribution to the other floors
by the elevator. The shipping room
is also located on this floor. On the
second floor may be found the cereals
and other light goods that sell rapid
ly. while on the top floor are the
good that move rather slowly. Shelly
ing for broken packages occupies the
south end of the second floor serving
the double purpose of display OF
goods and storage room for small
quantities.
The big elevator is one of the fea-
lures of the new building. 1t is a
Hollister-Whitney elevator of the over
head type. In size it is 6xS feet, and
has capacity of $500 pounds. 1t is
equipped with all modern safety de-
vices, including the semi-automatic
gates, automatic top and bottom stop.
and is operated by electricity.
Manager Ben Glew of the Creston
Office of the company is more than
pleased with the building furnished
him to handle the firms business and
we'll should he be, for few more mod
ern and better arranged wholesale
grocery houses can be found in the
entire state.

NEARLY 500; KENNEDY. HAS
SMALL PLURALITY.

Fairfield, Nov 4.-Eighteen of the
nineteen precincts in Jefferson county
gave Connolly a plurality over Cum
Minis of 1888. Hamilton leads Clark by
494 and Kennedy, republican candidate
for congressman, shows plurality OF
1872 over Whitaker. Ball the present
representative in the state Legislature,
running independent, defeated Ready,
democrat and Fulton, republican by
100. The three present district court
judges lead the judicial ticket with
Calhoun next and Cornell at the bot
tom of the list. The returns on the
judicial ticket are less complete than
on the regular tickets. The third ward
in Fairfield, normally republican, is
yet to be heard from and Kennedy is
expected to increase his lead.

CALLS MAN HORSE
THIEF; is SUED

Iowa City, Nov. 4.-To be called a
thief, especially horse thief, is
worth $4,000 as golden balm to
wounded feelings and reputation, &C
cording to Homer Curry, who has sued
Thomas Brennan, a farmer, of Hills
for that amount. Curry alleges that
Brennan circulated and caused to be
published the slanderous and libelous
declaration that he Curry had stolen
a horse and driven away with it,
whereas, in reality, Curry only used
the horse for legitimate and author
lied transportation purposes. Mr.
Brennan is one of Johnson county's
best-known farmers.

tend, whence the seat of Belgian
government went from Antwerp
when the fall of Antwerp was
certain. Now the Belgian capital
has been moved to Havre, France
The royal family, excepting King
Albert, has gone there.
German Positions Strong
The German positions in Belgium
are as strong as those along the
Aisne river in northern France, ac-
cording to press dispatches from the
seat of war In addition to the forti-
fications at Antwerp they have pre-
pared REINFORCED concrete works
heavily mounted with guns, extend
ing from a point east of Louvain to
a place north of Vilvorde, on through
Alost and thence to a point southeast
of Brussels.
There is also a continuous line of
Notifications from Liege through Ma
muir and Mons to Valenciennes. Thus,
should the German right retreat, it
would be powerfully protected unless
the works were forced beforehand
Trouble for Holland.
The fall of Antwerp placed Holland
squarely between the millstones of
British and German interests. For
Antwerp to be of any use to Germany
as a base for naval or aerial opera
tions against England the kaiser must
control the mouth of the Scheldt,
which is altogether in Dutch hands
There is little possibility that Ger
many will be able to secure Hollands
consent to the use of the mouth of
the Scheldt in order to make Antwerp
naval port. Such acquiescencc
would be followed by disastrous con-
sequences to the people of the Dutch
kingdom. They would be considered
participants in the war and a British
fleet would blockade all Dutch ports.
The present plight of Holland is bad
enough and a blockade would mea
practical starvation of the kingdom.
