Don't fail to see Jolly Joe at the
Baptist church, Feb. 25th. GODS
Should the Lid Be Put On2

Fort Dodge has been talking over
the matter of hiring police matron
to look after the younger children
who roam the streets at night. The
matter has been discussed in this
city lately in regard to some public
dances which have been held here
and at which it is claimed little or
der was kept. 1t is impossible for
the police to see that all dances are
kept in order, as their other work
does not allow it. 1t has been claim
ed by some who have attended a
few dances that some of them would
not be allowed in Des Moines or
other larger cities Of the state.
Whether the people deem it of
enough importance to place ban
on undesirable dances or not Is not
known.

THE C|TY-CARTH
CASE SETTLED
Judge Wright Holds That Lot is Of
Sufficient Value to Bear the
Assessment.
From Saturdays Daily.)

Just after the noon hour today
Judge Wright delivered his opinion
in the Garth-City case. 1t will be
recalled that the point in dispute
was the value of the lot and the
benefit accruing to it because of the
Des Moines street pavement. 1t is
a corner lot on Boone and Des
Moines streets. The cost of the paw
ing on Des Moines street, the long
way of the lot, was assessed a little
less than $3.50, the exact amount
the Freeman Tribune cannot recall.
Under the law an assessment for
more than ,25 per cent OF the act
ual value of the property cannot be
levied for such improvements in any
one year, hence the lot in question
must be worth about $4,000 to bear
the assessment for the paving put
down last year. Witnesses. for the
plaintiff testified that the lot is
worth from $1,70O to $1,000, while
witnesses for the city generally put
the value at right around $4,000.
From the judgment rendered by
Judge Wright it is apparent that he
took the view that the lot is worth
at least enough to bear the assess
ment put upon it by the council.
The assessment for paving on Boone
street in 1912 amounted to a little
less than 5000, hence the total as
sessment for paving against this lot
is about $3.50.
Mary L. Ribbey was granted d.
vorce this morning from Frank Rib
hey. This case was tried yesterday
and was one of the hardest fought
divorce cases that has been tried in
this county for years.
Mamie Seamonds was granted d.
vorce from Frank w. Seamonds and
was also allowed alimony.
Today the court has devoted its
attention to the Stratford sewer
case in which some of the citizens
of Stratford have taken recourse to
the district court to stop the pro-
ceedings of the city council of that
place in contracting for sanitary
sewer.

MANAGER kEARNS
IS GETTING BUSY
Expected That Webster City Will
Have Another Good Team
This Year.

h. Manager Kcarns is about to start
signing players for the coming base
ball season. One man has already
signed for workout. His name is
Anderson and he is residing near
this city. Upon applying to Mana
ger Kearns he stated that he had
been playing with the Canadian
league for the past five years. So
far this is the only application that
has been made. Manager Kearns is
in correspondence with Steffen, the
fast Ackley catcher, and also the
three Cedar Falls players who were
so we'll liked here last season. Some
of the old stand-bys who may be re-
lied upon to make an appearance as
soon as the season opens, are Sucher,
B. Dodge, Berggren and Moose. 1t
is deeply regretted that Logan Cor
bin, the most reliable second base
man Webster City has ever had, has
decided to move from this commun-
ity. However, Anderson, the Cana
dian star, is second baseman and
will be tried out at this position.
Casey Coffin, who is with Sioux City
this year, will be farmed out to
Webster City if he does not make
good in the Western league. The
prospects for first class team are
fine and the fans are planning on
having the very fastest semi-pro
lineup in the state.

HUMAN HERD BOOK IS
NEEDED, SAYS DOCTOR
Eugenics Advocate Thinks Peo.
pie Should Have Pedi-
grees Recorded.

Battle Creek, Mich, Jan. 12.-An
fugenics registry office for the pur-
pose of developing human thorough
breds was one of the suggestions OF
Or. j. H. Kellogg, of Battle Creek,
speaking today at the National Con-
ference for Race Betternlent.
1T only takes four generations to
make a thoroughbred when the prin-
liples OF eugenics have a fair chance
to operate" said DIR. Kellogg. I'VE
a registers for horses, cattle, sheep.
pigs, cats and dogs. If a lady wishes
o establish the standing of her pet
poodle, she car do so by appealing to
IN official record and the puny canine
may lift its head above it's fellows as
born aristocrat, but nowhere on
larth, as far as I know, is there to be
..ound a registry for human thorough
preds.
The hope is entertained " the
2.emberS of this conference that one Of
he results of the meeting may be the
establishment of such a registry. In
iced, it seems the time has fully come
when an eugenics registry office
lhould be established in which may
re recorded infants who are born under
,ugenic conditions and perhaps also
he names of persons who in person
md pedigree are able to measure up

Berlin, Jan. IA complex con-
ft%itutional question concerning tho
tight of the German empire to tap the
Eources of evenue of the individual
Federated states has been raised by
Count Iorck Won Wartenburg, on be-
half OF the conservatives in the
Prussian house of lords. where it is to
be debated tomorrow.
The Interpolation to be brought for
ward demands that the Prussian gov

1ermining by the empire of Prussia's
position through the shifting of the
constitutional guarantees to the dis
advantage of the individual states
The arguments advanced by the con

ton of several of the states has been
Invaded by the provisions of some of
the recent imperial armament and
financial legislation and particularly
That the rights of Prussia have been
overriden by the imperial authorities.
