Another smashup occurred Sunday
night about six o'clock in front OF

was driving east on Second street,
collided with a horse and buggy
driven by Ben Wilson, who was 60

side of the street and it is presumed
that Segar supposed he would turn
out and give him the right of way.
Mr.. Segar was also on the south side
of the street and crash resulted
which brought nearby residents to
their windows.
The horse was knocked down and
for moment bystanders thought
the animals legs were broken. They
soon found, however. that its legs
were In just as good working order

Mrs. Emma Ruegnitz, mother o1
Fred c. Ruegnitz, passed away Sat
urday afternoon at three o'clock fol-

tion. Mrs. Ruegnitz had been g
great sufferer with diabetes. During
her illness she had also suffered sew

such strong constitution that the
fourth stroke, which occurred about
ten months ago, did not prove fatal
Her daughter, Miss Emma Ruegnitz

proved too great. Since then she
had been at the c. B. Stoddard home

TO HEAD OFF AD-
VERT|S|NC FAK|RS
Fort Dodge Merchants Join in the
Movement to Protect Busi-
ness Men.

The business men of Fort Dodge
have fallen into line to put cen
scrship on the travelling advertising
fakir. The advertising schemes OF
the transient solicitors are a con-
stant drain upon the business men
in the community and the larger
part of the money expended in this
way brings no returns to the adver-
tiser. Webster City business men
when solicited by transient adver-
tising men should at once refer them
to the Commercial League for the
endorsement of the vigilance COM
mittee who have been appointed by
the league to investigate all PROPOSE
tions of this kind. If the scheme
submitted is a good thing, the o. K,
of the league will assure the bust
ness men that it Is not simply q
hold-up and then il they desire tc
invest they will know they are moi
throwing their money away.
In speaking Of the plan Of the
business men OF Fort Dodge the Mes
senger says:
Fort Dodge retailers have entered
into an agreement with the Retail
Merchants Association not to bu,
any sort Of advertising from any 50

IS THROWN FROM
SADDLE HORSE
Miss Nellie Miller is Unconscious for
Nearly a Half Hour as Result
of Fall.

Miss Nellie Miller, daughter oi
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Miller, who re.
side in the 1900 block on Second
street, was thrown from her horse
Saturday and rendered unconscious
for nearly half hour.
Miss Miller was riding the horse
she usually rides, which is spirit
ed animal, and was in front of the
Fred Heiden home on First street
when she was thrown. She has no
recollection of what happened,
whether the horse became frightened
or whether it slipped and threw her.
She was taken into the Heiden home
and cared for until a physician ar
rived. Her injuries include dislo-
Gated jaw, cuts upon the head and
other bruises, and she had high
fever all day yesterday, suffering
also from nervous shock. She is
better today, however, and more SER
ious results are not anticipated.

licitor until the secretary of the
Commercial Club has given a writ
ten endorsement of the advertising
scheme. If the secretary finds the
scheme is not productive of results,
the avenue to soft" business will
thus be closed. Several thousands
of dollars will be saved to the merch-
ants under this plan.
Solicitation by outside people who
have secured the backing OF some
local organization is particularly re-
sented by the retailers. Merchants
know that class of advertising Is not
productive of results, yet hate to in
cur the illwill of the society back
of the scheme. Hence exorbitant
rates for this advertising are paid In
many cases. The business man un-
derstands generally that the solicit
tors will get the big end Of the ad-
vertising receipts viii, the local So
ciety will get but small percent
age Of the money.
The statement issufd today by the
retailers association declares the
merchants in mahy cases would
rather make an out and out dona-
ton rather than purchase advertis-
ing represented to them as valuable.
The many calls upon the merchants
have made them feel the need OF
calling a halt.
The rule adopted applies to every
sort of advertising, including daily
papers, theatres, bill boards and
