Silent Mr.. Woods.

Britt Tribune: Some one asked us
the other day if we thought that
Frank P. Woods would ''be put up"
to start out" for congress again.
No we don't. We are sure he
won't be "put up He is self
putter up" "a self-starter." He
don't wait for any one to "crank"
him. He just whirls on his heel
and the wheels begin to move.
Franks explosions are all "intern-
al" He just screws down the muf-
fer, loosens the dowhang and let's
'er slide without air brake or COM
preston clutch. Soft pedal, cushion
tire, non-whizzer, silent but swift,
nothing doing in noise or red fire,
just slickery like grease on the buck
saw or soap suds slipping into rat
hole or playing perhaps on the banks
of the Ohio.

Inadequate Equipment.

The city's fire alarm equipment.
in the opinion of many citizens, is
very inadequate. In town the
size of Webster City the fact that
only ten alarm boxes have been
placed for the convenience of the
people is proof enough that this
matter has not been properly han
died. At least twice this number
would not be too many, as the west
part of town past Grove street has
no alarm box ct all. This part of
the city is growing fast and with
the extension of the water mains
this summer, the people of that part
of town should be given the same
protection as the more thickly pop
ulated localities. More new equip
ment for the firemen, especially
chemical engine, is badly needed.
The firemen make no pretense of be-
ing able to do much in case SER
ious fire would start in the business
section, and while the firemen have
done good work heretofore, the time
is liable to come when with the
equipment now in use they will be
absolutely helpless.

May 20 to Dayton.

Professor F. C. Runkle, who for
three years has been principal of
schools here, was elected superin-
tendent of the public schools at Day
ton, at a recent meeting of the
board.
The professor has not accepted
the proposition at Dayton but unless
the board here does the proper
thing, he will do so.
Mr.. Runkle is responsible in a
large measure for Ellsworth's new
and modern school house as we'll as
for consolidation of schools.
He has put every effort in max
ing the school a stronger one in ev-
cry way, and has succeeded. At
present he is working for an accred-
tied school and If the board can be
made to see that such a school is
necessary here, Mr.. Runkle will feel
that he has done much good.-Ells-
worth News.
Prof. Runkle is we'll known in
webster City and has many acquain-
tances here who would regret his re-
moval from Hamilton county. A
few years ago he was connected
with the management of the Web
ster City Chautauqua and made
numerous friends among all classes

should the one million Woodmen
who have, by practically unanimous
vote, registered their disapproval OF
the Chicago plan and rates, vote to
return to office the advocates and
sponsors of this plan?
Delegates to the county camp are
now elected. Every Modern Wood
man should make it his personal
business to see that these delegates
are Informed as to the issues. The
reelection of the present head offic-

Chicago plan and rates. Therefore,
it is up to every Modern Woodman
who is opposed to the Chicago plan
and rates, to see that the county
camps instruct the delegates elected
to the state camp, to refuse indorse-
ment to the reelection of any of the
present head officers

Uses Stove for Safe.

Fort Dodge Messenger: Mrs. Fred
Hasselbring, Jr., has lost her belief
in stoves as good banking place for
money. Last Sunday before going
to the German Lutheran church of
which she is a member, she put
about hundred dollars in currency
and bills in the stove. This was
surely a much safer and TO say the
least more original place than
stockings, mattress or the sugar
bowl. No Grant thief would ever
seek there.
After church, there was big din
ner to get, and the fire was started
for preparation of the meal. Even
in these days of high cost of living,
no family sat down to a richer
spread than one boiled and baked on
green backs. Late in the afternoon,
came the memory of the money and
then CONSERVATION reigned. The
silver part of the hoard was i'm
mune. but the bills and checks were
badly singed if not totally burned.
However, the remnants have been
sent back to Washington, and it is
thought will be redeemed.
On Saturday Mr.. Hasselbring, who
is a coal dealer, had been collecting
and was too late to take the fruits
OF his labors to the bank.

mere lot some years.
Up to the time of his, appointment
as district judge D. D. Chase had
been the county's attorney, but on
his promotion to the bench, in Feb
ruary, 1866, the board of supervis-
ors appointed D. D. Miracle as it's
legal advisor.
These were times when the in
ternal revenue assessors and collect
ors were prevalent, and when deeds,
notices, contracts, receipts and in
deed nearly everything that a stamp
would stick to, had to be stamped.
D. D. Miracle was appointed deputy
United States assessor. Col. Chas.
A. Clark also was appointed deputy
collector, but it was at time when
President Johnson and the republic
cans in congress were radically OPP
posed to each other on reconstruct
ton measures and Mr.. Clark refused
to serve, and as indicating the bitter
hostility towards the administra-
ton, we quote from Colonel Clark's
letter refusing the appoin tment as
follows: 81 desire to maintain a
reputation as loyal man and a re-
spectacle citizen. Serving under An
lrew Johnson at this crisis, I could
