The choir of the Congregational
church, assisted by Mesdames Whit
ham, Mueller and Pote, gave de-
lightful party Friday night after
choir practice, at the Dr. Pote home
on Water street, at which Miss Clara
Lane, a bride of next week, was the
honored guest. In spite of the
drenching rain there was a good at
tendance and the evening was spent
with music accompanied by much in
formality.
During the evening Mrs. Pote
brought in a large clothes basket
full of parcels, which she said had
been raining down for Miss Lane.
These parcels proved to be useful
kitchen utensils accompanied by Or
iginal verses, which were read amid
laughter and applause. In the bot
tom of the basket was a solid silver
fork, a gift from the ladies aid So
ciety of the church as a mark of the
esteem in which the recipient is
held. Late in the evening, ice cream
and cake were served.

Has Secured Fine Team.

C. w. Marvel has been the cyno-
sure of all eyes lately while
driving his fine pair of matched
black PAGERS upon the streets. He
purchased this team week ago
while in Illinois, near Bloomington,
and returned Tuesday with this fine
team. Both are registered animals
one, King Templeton, being two
year old colt. A few critics of good
horses have adjudged this colt to be
as fine and we'll bred colt as there
is in the state of Iowa. The horses
are each broken for single and team
driving and are certainly a pair Of
beauties. A fine well-matched team
seen upon the streets is the eXcep-
ton in these days of HudsOns, Ov.
erlands and-Fords, and attracts a
good deal more attention than one
of these automobiles.

FIRE ESCAPES AND
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Webster City's Two Story Houses Of
Learning are Not Perfectly
Supplied.

The laws of Iowa do not require
fire escapes upon two story school
buildings. 1t requires them upon
any place of amusement accommo-
dating 800 people or over, but upon
school buildings which contain from
200 to $50 little folks, and which
are two stories high, no fire escapes
of any kind are required.
There are two story school build
ings all over the state-primary
buildings in which from $50 to $50
little tots from five to ten years of
age are confined during school
hours. In some Of these the heating
apparatus is not located in the
building, thus in a measure reduc-
ing the possibility of fire. But
while the absence of heating plant
reduces the probability of fire, it
does not eliminate it and it is al
ways present in two story buildings.
In the primary school building in
this city there are two flights of
stairs leading from the second to the
first floor. Each flight is broken by
a landing and each flight ends at
the bottom with the backs of the
stair cases to the exits. Should
fire ever break out below the stairs
and the staircase be enveloped in
binding smoke, it is doubtful If
many children on the second floor
would reach safety. Occasionally
readers are Mortified by reading of
the burning of a school building
similar to the one which burned in
Cleveland, O., few years ago. The
accounts usually show that children
are like frightened sheep in time of
fire, and are not easy to get out of a
burning building. 1t is not the high
school pupils alone which we must
safeguard from fire, but the little
to our state laws for protection of
school children from fires, requiring
the placing of simple fire escape
on all two story primary school
buildings, then would the danger to
little ones from this source be les
sened. Perhaps the best example of
a fire escape for children on record
is the one used by the state school
for the blind at VintOn. These are
hollow tubular stair cases, with the
stairs left out and a sliding strip OF
metal inserted, as if a screw were
to this hollow screw-like tube, and
the child sits down and slides, as he
would on sliding board such as are
in use on children's Fairgrounds.
The hollow tube will accommodate
children as fast as they can enter
and sit down. The hollow screw is
entirely of metal and in fair wealth
er is used as plaything for the
children to accustom them to the
sensation, which is a pleasant one,
as the incline is SO gentle that they
do not gain the velocity they would
on a straight slide. The escapes are
ideal for children in general, wheth-
err blind or not, and should be plac-
ed upon every two story primary
building in the state.

The Shoot at Des Moines.

Thirty shooters were entered in

141 and Hoon third with 140.

To Build Hard Surfaced Roads.

The commercial club at Fort
Dodge is making preparations to
build forty miles of hard surfaced
roads out of that city, ten miles in
each direction, and it is planned to
build the one on the east as far as

Chronicle says that within fifteen
days a mile of this road will be I'M
der construction leading from Fort
Dodge east on the Hawkeye high
way. The good roads committee OF
the club has been working on this
for some time and has submitted to
the board of supervisors a PROPOSE
ton which was accepted. The road
will start at the Great Western and
Interurban tracks and will be used
by the city as sample of good
roads after they are drained and
graded. If this sample road proves
the Commercial club
hopes to raise by popular subscrip-
ton a fund of $4,000 to be used
in cooperation with the county to
build about forty miles of such road,

Of Fort Dodge, commencing at the
