TAKES
WELL PLAYED GAME
Company G Basket Ball Team De-
feated in a Well Fought
Contest Saturday.

Saturday evening at the armory in
this city the Ellsworth Giants and
the Company c basket ball teams
played the fastest game ever played
in this city. Quite a large crowd
was present and every one who wit
messed the game was we'll satisfied.
Only two points was the margin by
which the Ellworth men won. At
the end of the game the score stood
twenty-five for Ellsworth and
twenty for Webster City. While the
game at times was quite rough, both
teams seemed satisfied with the
showing they had made. This marks
the first defeat for the local men and
Ellsworth still remains undefeated.

COMPANY c MAY
co TO SPARTA, Wis.
Likely That the Divisional Nationa.
Encampment Will be Held
There This Year.

1t is being rumored in national
guard circules that this years en-
campment will be at Sparta, Wiscon-
sin. Several years ago three of the
Iowa regiments, including the fifty
sixth, encamped at the government
reservation about nine miles out of
that city. This year the divisional
headquarters of the national guard
hopes to have one of the largest ma
tional guard encampments ever held
and troops will be encamped at
Sparta from all the northern states
in the Mississippi valley. This would
probably incluGe Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North
and South Dakota and possibly
states even farther east and west. In
case this kind of an encampment
would be held, the fifty-sixth regi-
ment would undoubtedly be brigad-
ed with the regiment from North
Dakota and one from South Dako-
ia, as the brigade in this state is ex-
pected to consist of the three south
ern regiments in the state. While
no dates have been set, guard offic-
ers in the city are of the opinion
that the encampment will be in
August. The majority of the men,
bers of the local company would well
come an opportunity of again leav-
ing the state for an encampment, as
they have the privilege of witness
ing other regiments at work The
encampment at Sparta several years
ago, which the local company at
tended. was the most instructive
they have attended for many years.

SHORT COURSE
NOW IN SESSION
Grain Exhibits on the First Floor of
the Armory and Live Stock
Exhibits in Basement.
STARTS WITH BIG ATTENDANCE.
The Domestic Science Glasses Will
be Held in the Methodist
Church.
STARTS WITH BIG ATTENDANCE.
(From Mondays Daily.)

The Hamilton County Short
Course started this morning with
a very good attendance. At ten
o'clock the doors of the Armory were
opened for all students who wished
to attend and the general plan for
the weeks work was talked over. All
grain exhibits will be held on the
first floor of the armory, while the
live stock exhibits will be held in
the basement. The domestic science
classes will be held at the Metho-
dist church. -...
In the live stock classes at one
O'Clock this afternoon a lecture was
given on stock judging, especially
horses. Exhibits were also made of
unsound horses, emphasizing the
more common unsoundnesses. In the
grain classes the first year students
worked on corn while the second
year classes in grain discussed Sc
lecting seed, preparing seed bed and
caring for crops of oats and wheat,
exhibits being made Of good and
poor qualities Of these small grains.
Quite great deal Of interest is be-
ing taken in the course and this
year will probably have larger at
tendance than ever before.
Tomorrow afternoon from four to
six and the evening from seven-thir-
ty to nine Professor Bishop will give
an entertaining lecture on domestic
science, which will be of great inter-
est to the women, as Prof. Bishop is
in this line of work. The
lecture will be free to ticket holders
and ten cents will be charged for
others. The officers of the course are
hard at work and hope to make this
one of the largest and best courses
held in the state this year.

STRATf0RD wins
POINT FOR Sewer
The State Board Of Health Approves
the Plan for Sewage System
in That Town.

Register and Leader: Stratford
town of 600 inhabitants located
seventy-tive miles northwest of Des
Moines, won an important point in
its fight to secure better sanitation
yesterday when the state board of
health approved the plan for sew
er system to be installed in that
town. For several months the peo-
pie of Stratford have been fighting
bitterly among themselves, half in
favor of the sewer system and the re-
mainder opposed to it.
Backed by the state board of
health, c. G. Peterson, mayor, and
the town council passed a resolution
of necessity for the improvement.
Last night bids were opened and a
contract will be let, in spite of the
fact that the enemies of the project
have secured writ of certiorari
calling for review of the proceed
ings in the district court Feb. Il.
The fight in Stratford Is illustra-
tive of the contest which must be
waged soon in every town in Iowa
where there are no sewer systems.
Lafayette Higgins, sanitary engineer
of the state board of health, declares
that in every town in Iowa between
thirty and fifty years old where sur
face wells are depended upon for
drinking water the water is unsafe
for use, owing to surface pollution.
He asserts that wells will answer
the purpose for period of years,
but that after twenty-five or more
years the pollution from the surface
seeps down so that the wells become
permanently contaminated. Then
the towns must install water supply
systems and sewers, he says.
Stratford several months ago had
three cases of typhoid fever which
were traced to the use of surface
well water. Mr.. Higgins was sent
to the city to make a sanitary sur
vey. He took samples of water from
fifty-five wells in different localities
of the town. OF the fifty-fve wells
he found that only three were fit for
service. In the other fiftytwo wells
the water had from three to fifty
times the impurities permitted in
safe drinking water. The engineer
then called the attention of the
town council to the situation. He
suggested that plans at once be
made for a sewer.
The sewer project was unpopular
with half the town, but in the face
of opposition the town council went
ahead with plans to make q healthy
city of Stratford. Plans which were
drawn by X. c. Gaynor of Sioux

THE PR0CRESS|VES>
HAVE A MEETING
About Twenty-Five Respond to the
Call of the County Chairman,
r. W. Della.

At two o'clock Saturday afternoon
about twenty-five members of the
progressive party held a meeting in
the court room. The meeting was
! presided over by county chairman
Della. Mr.. Della gave short ad-
dress, stating that the meeting was
| for the purpose of getting the town
ship committeeman together to con-
tinue the progressive movement, fill
any vacancy among township COM
mitteemen, perfect an organization
and win as many changes in party
affiliation as possible, besides secur-
ing victory for the party. He also
stated that he hoped that the pro-
gressives present might start cam
paign to get recruits to the progress
sive party with a hip and hurrah
and to try to place progressives in
state and county offices. Dr. Nc
Cauliff then placed a motion before
the house, asking that the chairman
name a committee Of five on resolu-
tions and that the chair act as one
of the number. The chairman then
named DR.. McCauliff, DR.. Slater.
Professor Hall and B. F.. Keltz
While the committee were writing
resolutions. roll call of the town
ship committeeman was taken, when
it was found that only three were
present. The committee on resolu-
tions then reported and the sub
stance was as follows:
I'VE, the members of the progress
sive party in Hamilton county, find
that the old parties do not stand
FOR true progressive principles due
the American people.
The committee then recommended
that a full state and county ticket
be placed in the field for this fall,
pledging themselves to the support
Of these tickets. The resolution was
adopted, although one progressive
member was looking for nigger in
the wood pile. as he Immediately
arose and asked if the state ticket
mentioned in the resolution covered
district candidates, and the reply
was that it did. Dr. Slater then
gave short talk. recommending
that progressive literature be sent
to each voter in the county, and
stated that the newspapers We're not
giving the new party an absolutely
fair deal, as they did not wish hap
penings in other states to become
known in their home communities.
DR.. Della gave a few brief re-
marks, stating that while at the
state convention he and DR.. Slater
pledged the sum of SIS towards the
state budget to help in the fight this
fall. Prof. Hall was called on for
short talk, which was ably given.
Professor Hall has been urged to be-
come a candidate for representative
on the progressive ticket and there
was considerable talk of his candid
acy at the meeting.
