Old Settler Heard From.

Old time neighbors have received
word from Webster City pioneer
Mrs. Talman Wiltsey-who is now
located on the Pacific coast. Mrs.
Wiltsey is in her Goth year. She
does her own work, makes garden,
and writes a legible and entertain
ing letter. Mr.. and Mrs. Wiltsey
came to New Castle in 1854 They
located at once and built log cab
in on the site of the large red barn
on South Superior and Ohio streets.
Soon after-1S57-th house now
owned by Frank Bonebright was
built, and was occupied by the
Wiltsey family for many years. The
native lumber used in its construc-
ton was the first sawed in the mill
on East Ohio street, the old Chase
mill site, much of which lumber
oak and black walnut-is as sound
as when put in place by w. S. and
w. I. Worthington, the builders.
Mrs. Wiltsey tenders her regard
to all inquiring friends and neigh
bors; expresses her joy in life and
the tone of her letter is both hope
ful and happy.

The Private Kindergarten.

The private kindergarten to be
conducted in the south central
school building during the summer
by Miss Marjorie Murphy, had it's
first session yesterday morning. The
attendance was good, many mothers
taking advantage of the mornings
session for very young children.
Work such as is taught the young
sters of the regular winter session of
kindergarten is being taught these
children. Games of all kinds are
played and many little marches and
such things are enjoyed, accompan-
led with music. The little folks are
taught many pretty little songs, too,
and on the whole, find the morning
session much too short for their work
and play. Miss Murphy will no
doubt have large class of little
folks during these warm months.

"A GREAT: GAME

City.

Most Interesting and Finest Game
OF the Season-Fans Wild
With Enthusiasm.
8 TO 4 IN FAVOR OF LOCALS

| There were big doings at River
side ball park yesterday afternoon.
The game was between the fast
Newton team and the White Sox. 1t
was the greatest contest of the sea-
son, one of the most intensely inter-
estlng games ever witnessed in this
city. 1t was anybodys battle until
the ninth inning when Berggren
trotted across the home plate, bring
ing in the winning score for Web
ster City. The teams were very ev-
emily matched and the enthusiasm
among the fans was at the boiling
point The White Sox struck their
old time gait of last season and ev-
cry man on the team played ball.
Only one error was chalked up
against the local boys, while Newton
mad three. Huston pitched for Web
ster City and after the first two in
nlngs was in fine form. The game
ended 9 to 4 in favor of the White
Sox.
Newton started things in the Sec
ond inning, making two three bag
gers and bringing in score.
In the sixth inning, the two first
men to bat for Newton went out on
flies. The third walked and Walsh
damned out home run, bringing in
two scores. In the last half of the
sixth, Severoid for the White Sox
singled, followed with a single by
Ludeman; Richards also singled. fl
ling the bases; Corbin followed with
another hit, scoring Severoid: Lude-
man was thrown out at the home
plate; Richards scored, but Corbin
was put out at third base.
In the last half of the seventh in
ming, Webster City made another
score. tieing the game. Moose, the
hrst man up, was hit by pitched
ball; Berggren struck out, but Hus-
ton pounded out a three sacker,
scoring Moose.
In the ninth and last inning, New
ton went out in short order. For
Webster City, Moose singled; Berg
gren made bunt, reaching first
base, but Moose went out at second:
Huston singled; Emerson was caught
out on fly to deep center, allowing
Berggren to cross the home plate
with the winning score after two
men had been put out. Ludeman, at
short, made the star play of the
game in the fourth inning, when he
speared red hot grounder across
second base with one hand while on
the run and threw out the batter at !
first base. 1t was surely a great stop.

THE iowa WEATHER
AND CROP REPORT
Conditions Fairly Favorable ali Ov-
er the State-Too Much Rain
in Northwest.

Des Moines, June 16.-Conditions
during the past week were unusual
ly favorable for the growth of vege-
tation. The average temperature
was about s degrees above the norm-
al, and all parts of the state receiv-
ed copious to heavy rains. Most too
much rain has fallen in the northern
and western districts, and as a re-
suit field work has been delayed and
small grain is getting too rank.
However, in the south central and
southeastern districts, where
droughty conditions have prevailed
during the past month, the rains
will be of great help to all crops ex-
cept hay, which will be light. Corn
has made phenomenal growth and,
in some localities, will average knee
high. Oats are heading in ali Sec
tons, and in the southern counties
are filling well, although the straw
will be short. In the northern and
western counties some oats were
lodged even before they began head
ing. Much clover and alfalfa hay
was put up during the week.

dition to needle-work and pleasant
conversation, Mrs. J. N. Garth en-.
tertained her club sisters with an
interesting and instructive talk
concerning the visit made by her
family in Southern California dur
ing the past nine months.
The family went west by the way
of Yellowstone Park and Seattle,
where they found many Webster
City friends. They took a four-day
steamer trip from Seattle to Long
Beach and spent most of their time
in the vicinity of Los Angeles and
Redlands.
Mrs. Garth found California most
delightful as to climate, people, nat
ural scenery, and in fact in every
particular, and her informal talk
was highly entertaining and thor
oughly enjoyed.

Barn Raising,

Williams Enterprise: Thursday
was barn raising day at the Edward
Sweedler home north of town. The
barn that Mr.. Sweedier has put up
is about the only barn of it's kind in
this part of the state. This barn is
built in sections and each section is
raised to place and mortised. The
barn is large one being 40X7O feet
with 20 foot posts and hip roof.
The floor is all cemented and the
building very conveniently parti-
toned. A double driveway runs
through. Mr.. Sweedler claims that
this is the only way to erect a barn
so that it will hold together life
time.

GUILTY PARTIES
ARE APPREHfNDED
Perpetrators of Many Burglaries
Have Been Caught and Will
: be Punished.

The parties who have perpetrated
the various burglaries in the bust
ness district during the past two
months have been apprehended. Of
ficers have been on their track for
several weeks and it will be a gen.
eral relief to all to know that the
offenders are under arrest and will
be prosecuted for these thefts.
The guilty parties are Clarence
Ludlow, aged 16, and Charles Beck
ner, aged IS, who have confessed to
having entered and burglarized the
Mason hardware store, the Lewis
restaurant, the E. Edwards store,
the Ferndell grocery, Thompson's
barber shop, and the Fred Hahne
printing office, which has been en-
tered several times. Another young
man, Carl Leopold, is implicated,
but to what extent has not yet been
learned.
While the public deplores the fact
Of these crimes, and sympathy will
be felt for the relatives and friends
of these young men who must pay
the penalty for wrong doing, it is to
be hoped that their apprehension
and confession will prove warn
ing and a lesson to others who thus
far have escaped the arm of the law.

Chicago, June 16.-Wheat lower
on liberal offerings of new wheat.
Foreign crop news somewhat poor
but has no effect. Market feels the
need of outside demand and while
bears are selling slowly on decline
the tone continues heavy. Prim-
airy shipments of wheat for two days
are small. Wheat news from north
west and Canada is excellent. Corn
crop is making one Of the best starts
ever known outside the drouth re-
gions of central west.
Eastern cash corn demand is slow
but position Of July and Sept corn
is in line with western news. Pro-
visions declined on the June 18th

They were liberal increases of
