any citizen should keep account of the

Iowa City, July 13.-Oh settlers Of
Johnson county will hold their annual
reunion and picnic at the city park on

A program similar to that held in
former years is now being planned.
Saturday afternoon good number OF
settlers gathered at the park to finish
work on the log cabins which was
started there last year. The cracks
between the logs were chinked and
the logs pointed up so that now little
remains to be done before the cabins
are complete and ready for the re.
union in September.
Among the visitors at the park with
the old settlers was s. T. Hartman of
Lisbon who Is visiting in the city. Mr..
Harman was born in Iowa City. Oct.
Is, 1910. His father was a mason and
ne constructed the inner walls of the
old capitol building. Mr.. Hartman

relics Of the early days of Johnson
county ire preserved by the settlers.

.O77UMWA ENJOYS
B0UNT|FUL Rain
! SOME DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY
ING THE DOWNFALLS.

Ottumwa and vicinity we're visited
by three separate showers Sunday
with total rainfall Of 1.21 inches. The
showers coming after the excessive
heat of Friday and Saturday when the
mercury bulb ran up to 100 and above,
was a decided relief to people in the
city and boon to the farmers. AS one
Wapello county farm owner expressed
it: The rain was worth thousands OF
dollars" to them. The first of last
week a heavy rainfall was enjoyed but
the dryness Of the earth at that time
and the extreme heat since that time
soon used up the usefulness Of that
shower.
The downfalls Of Sunday came dur
ing the morning, afternoon and even
ing. A shower about 9 O'Clock was
followed by a heavier fall between IL
o'clock and noon Between 4 and D
o'clock was the time for the second
big shower and the third was shortly
after the supper hour in the evening.
Some damage was experienced by dlf-
ferent residents of the city. About l
a. M lightning struck a chimney on
the residence of F. G. Buxton, 237
North Walnut avenue. and several
bricks were knocked off the top. Short
ly before 4 O'Clock. at the beginning OF
the second storm, lightning struck the
new home of G. D. Citizens on Fellows
avenue. Here, the house which Is the
newest one in City View addition, was
subjected to a freak of lightning. It
struck at the comb of the roof and
took zig gag course down, knocking
off the plastering in several rooms.
damaging the foundation in several
srots and did some damage on the in
side of the front door. Mr.. Citizens
places his loss at about $500. The
telephone companies experienced some
little trouble from the lightning and
wind and the rain caused cable pc
longing to the Ottumwa Telephone Co.,
to sag and fall. In the country districts
no extensive damage has been reported
although the corn was bent over con-
siderably by the heavy wind.

for, made it out, heading the column with
the Senior Captain and following the line
of seniority and grade right down to the
newest corporal in M troop. Equipped
with this official roster the committee
hurried to the home of Miss Winder and
filed out the invitations, which were neatly
sealed and delivered by Miss Winder's
youngest brother, who went from tent to
tent at dusk distributing the highly deco
rated bids to the Elkton ball.
"That's mighty decent of them girls to
give dance for US" the Senior Captain sug-
gested to his adjutant as he sat shaving
himself by candlelight, in his wall tent.
cts refreshing to come upon a place that
has sense and taste enough to give an ex-
elusive officers ball."
Just remark upon the fun eight of us'u
have dancing with the whole feminine popu-
lation,'' put in the boyish-appearing Lieu
tenant Benton, acting troop commander
of K.
t'That is if the confounded enlisted men
don't appropriate beforehand nine-tenths of
said female population and keep them away
from the Dance" growled the pessfmistic
Adjutant The success of the enlisted men
in monopoliAng everything feminine at BIZ
vouac stations had been grudgingly noted
by him only too often.
"The invitations say nine O'Clock, but
suppose it's only decent to allow half
hours delay" said the Senior Captain,
washing away the lather and applying
talcum powder literally.
Over at Sergeant Major Brainerd's tent
there was a simultaneous and largely similar
conversation going on.
cts good of them girls to get up

Haynes was saying. "This is where the
officers get left out again. wonder if
they've been invited any place tonight
Say, what time was it we was to be there,
Brainerd?"
Nine O'clock" replied the Sergeant
Major, who was engaged in whiSking the
dust from his service uniform. Dancing
is child's play, but don't mind going just
to break the monotony when we're on
hike of this kind" he added.
"We'd better go at eight-thirty so as to
be there in plenty of time" suggested Cor
poral Boopey.
The feminine populace of Elkton and
contiguous territory was already on hand,
looking its very best, when the non-Com-
missioned officers of the second squadron
put in appearance, half an hour early.
They were most agreeable lot, too, albeit
a little timid But an hour suf1ced to put

resentment barely occurring to him. But
he encountered an unexpected obstacle to
the best possible fulflment Of his mis-
sion.
"Go2" exclaimed Miss Winder, when he'd
told her it was necessary for him to leave at
once. She'd been his intended partner for
the first and last dances, and had been max
ing herself particularly agreeable to him in
the bargain.
eyes, ma'am," he explained quietly.
There's been a mistake some place. This
IS an officers dance and we're only men.
Them's the real officers just come in.''
Miss Winder was an impulsive miss with
highly developed sense of justice and no
understanding of Army etiquette. IF you
have to go on that account, I'll just 60
along, she pouted.
And that same spirit infected the Others
of Elkton's feminine populace when the
young women learned, in quiet words, that
their heroes must leave.
"Well, I'm not surprised in the least"
growled the Adjutant by way Of relieving
his feelings and the situation. The Senior
Captain appeared on the verge of stroke of
apoplexy. For as the non-commissioned
officers, hats in hand, filed soberly from the
Nall, edCn was accompanied by ms intended
partner for the first dance. When the pro-
cession had become one with the darkness
without, there was one solitary female figure
remaining She sat demurely near the
musicians stand. Now, she couldn't have
been day over forty, and the Adjutant, a
most imaginative youth, vowed to himself
that she looked for the world like the K
troop cook in disguise and needing a shave.
The Adjutant, having in addition a slight
sense of humOr, was the first to recover.
There appears to be some consolation
left us anyway" said he, gIancing without
enthusiasm at the forlorn figure across the
hall. cts up to us to reward her for her
loyalty in remaining" he added. We can
dance with her according to seniority. You

The Senior Captain, recovering himself,
stepped CALAMITY forward.
