Pictures on Exhibition.

Miss Florence Burnell of Milwau-
kee, a former resident of this city,
has received honorable recognition
of her ability in camera work by re-
ceiving request from the Eastman
Kodak company to place upon exhi-
bition two of her fine enlarged pict-
ures in their exhibit, which is now
being held in one Of the large show
windows of their kodak supply store
in Milwaukee. This is a signal hon
or, as the work of thousands of cam
era "fiends" is submitted for admit
lance to the exhibit. Miss Burnell
did very fine work with her camera
while a resident of this city, having
at different times exhibits of her
pictures in the show windows down
town. All the work, from taking
the picture to developing, printing
and charging, is done by her, and
for this reason the honor is of added
interest,

MOTOR SERVICE IS
WELL PA ] |l
Travelling Men are Taking Advant-
age Of 1t-Can Save Much
Valuable Time.

The trips by motor over the Crook
ed Creek railroad are proving sue
cessful. Many travelling statesmen
and others have already taken ad-
vantage of it. The company make
two trips from here to Lehigh daily
and should the service demand it
they will make three. The motor
car started on the first trip at 1880
yesterday morning and arrived in
Lehigh at $3.50. 1t started on the
return trip at 1890 and arrived
here at 1920. In the afternoon the
motor left at 1880 and arrived back
in this city at $50. The motor SER
vice will run daily from now on and
the hours will be the same as herein
given. To the business and CONNER
cial traveller this motor service is
going to be fine thing, for with
it the traveller can make the town Of
Lehigh within a few hours, where
before it has taken day.

In the District Court.

While the district court has not
adjourned for the May term there
has been little doing the past few
days. On Saturday Judge Kamrar
listened to the attorneys in the case
of Hon. l.. S. Coffin of Fort Dodge,
who is asking permission to give
away large sum of money to rela-
tives who are dependent upon him
and also to pay some obligations he
has contracted. A demurrer was fl
ed by attorneys Kelleher and O'Con-
nor and Robert Healy, appearing for
the guardian, in which they deny
the right to the ward to ask for any
such settlement. They also deny the
right of the guardian or the ward to
take any action which will deplete
the estate, the income of which only
being at their disposal. Attorneys
Files of Fort Dodge, and F. F. Fa-
vile, of Storm Lake, argued the de-
murrer on the part of Father Coffin
The court asked for briefs on the
case to be introduced before next
Saturday night. Judge Kamrar's de-
cision will probably be rendered next
Monday.
Court will be held tomorrow when
some motions will ha hoard nv The

State of Iowa VS.. Henry Taylor
was the title of a case tried in JUS
tice Biernatzki's court yesterday

the school house and left his load.
He then returned to where Mr.. Tay-
lor was. Upon nearing Taylor the
latter began throwing clods, one of
which struck Lemon in the face.
The jury found the defend
ant guilty and the justice assessed

WEBER CASE BE-:
FORE CITY COUNCIL
Council Gets Opinion Of Three Diff.
ferent Attorneys, Martin,
Boeye and Covil.

At the regular meeting of the city
council last night the first question
considered was that of the lawyers
opinions upon matter which has
been occupying the attention of the
council for a week or more. DR.. For
est F. Hall about a week ago pre-
sented his bill for medical services
to Fred Weber, who was so severely
burned in an explosion at the city
power house about two years ago.
This bill is for something over $500.
There was some question raised as
to whether a city council has legal
right to pay such bill. 1t was de-
cided to refer the matter to two at
torneys, Wesley Martin for DR.. Hall
and A. N. Boeye for the council. The
opinion of the attorneys differed
Mr.. Martin asserting that city has
the legal right to pay and Mr.. Boeye
that it has not. The opinion OF a
third lawyer was necessary, so that
of w. J. Covil was obtained, which
was that city council has no legal
right to pay such a bill. No case
of the kind is known to have ever
occurred in the state. This being
the situation, the following resolu-
ton was passed: THAT the opinions
of A. N. Boeye and w. J. Covil, at
torneys for the city, regarding the
DR.. Forest Hall bill for care for Fred
Weber be placed on record and no
payment of said claim be made at
this time"
Mayor Valentine then reported to
the council that DR.. Forest Hall had
verbally resigned his position as
health physician of the city and the
mayor appointed DR.. T. F. Desmond.
City Engineer Currie presented a
form of contract from Clark E.
Mickey of Lincoln, Neb., an expert
chemist, and who is to take charge
of the analysis, testing and super
vision of the inspection of the con-
struction of the paving for the COM
ing season. On motion, the mayor
was authorized by the council to en-
ter into contract with Mr.. Mickey.
Current bills were then allowed
and the meeting adjourned until
May 25th.

MANY improvements,

There never was time in the
history of Webster City when more
improvement in the residential dis
tricts was going on. 1t appears that
every fourth or fifth property owner
is doing something to improve his
property. Porches are being built
galore, a number of new residences
are in course of construction, innum-
cradle houses are being painted,
many additions are being built,
numerous sidewalks are being put
in, a number Of houses are being
raised and better foundations built,
lawns are being improved and many
other betterments are being made.

An Entertaining Talker.


Mrs. Ida Vose Woodbury., of Bos-
ton, field secretary of the American
Missionary Association, who is on
her way to the state association of
Congregational churches in Mar
shalltown, stopped off here Sun
day and spoke morning and evening
in the Congregational church. She
also occupied part of the Sunday
school hour with an interesting talk.
Mrs. Woodbury's address at the
morning service was of especial in
terest, her subject being "The Test
of Democracy" Democracy is on
trial for its life in America today
and if we fail, the speaker said, the
theory will be doomed the world ov-
er. Aside from the many problems
which confront the United States as
a melting pot" for alien races, Mrs.
Woodbury. thinks the negro question
is one of the biggest of all. 1t is
easy to contribute to the work of
Outstanding, educating and civiliz-
ing the foreigner while he Is in his
own country, but when he resides in
the same block with us, the problem
becomes an entirely different one.
There are fifteen millions of negroes
in America and the birth rate is
three hundred and fifty every TWEEN
ty-four hours. John Temple Graves
has advocated for twenty years that
we exterminate or deport them. AS we
can do neither, it is incumbent upon
us that we educate and Christianize
them. This is the only solution of
the negro problem. And the negro
race has made more progress since
it was freed from slavery in this
country, in proportion to its popula-
ton, than the white race has made
Mrs. Woodbury., who has been a
worker among the mountain whites
of the south, gave many anecdotes
stories, etc, of these people. Their
ignorance before the churches and
schools of the association to which
she belongs were established among
them, almost passes belief. Mrs
Woodbury. is a very entertaining
talker and was greeted with good
audiences.

THE iowa WEATHER
AND CROP REPORT
Conditions Favorable in State as
Whole-Excessive Rains in
. Some Sections.

Des Moines, May 19.-Unseason-
ably cool weather prevailed during
most of the past week. Frost occur
red in nearly all parts of the state
and freezing temperatures are re-
ported from the western counties,
but no damage was done except to
garden truck. Excessive rains, ac-
companied in some localities by hail
and high winds, occurred in the GEN.
trail and north-central counties on
Sunday night and Monday morning.
In the areas of heaviest rainfall field
work was delayed for one or two
days, and considerable damage was
done by rain, hail and wind. But
for the state as a whole the condi-
lions were favorable for field work,
and at the close of the week fully
four-fifths of the corn area had been
planted. In the southern districts
much of the early planted corn is up,
shows a good stand, and is being
cultivated. The soil is generally in
good condition, but rain is needed
in the south central, southwestern
and northwestern counties. The
prospects for small grain and fruit
are still promising.

THE FAMOUS EDISON
TALKING PICTURES
Exhibition is Witnessed by Two
Packed Houses at 0rpheum
Theatre Last Night.

Edison's much talked about talk
ing, singing and dancing pictures
were presented last evening to two
capacity houses at the Orpheum the
atre and thereby gave Webster City
people the opportunity to see and
hear what all New York City has
been enjoying for months past. Edi-
son may we'll claim the title of wiz
ard. Wonders come and go with the
opening of each new day, but few
remain to stand the test made by an
eXacting public. New forms of
amusement are always in demand
and the successful ones are those
that can stand the test of critical
New York audiences. When Edison
announced that he had perfected an
appliance whereby he could show life
motion pictures that would repeat in
perfect tones the voices of the prin-
cipals, many smiled at what seemed
an impossibility. The performance
last night convinced those present
that the great inventor had added
another jewel to the crown he wears
as Americas most gifted and amaz-
ing citizen, The auditor is astonish-
ed at the magnitude Of the scenes
and the number of persons in the
spectacles arranged for reproduction
on the screen and with every word
spoken by the many principals, one
can readily understand the surprise
and thrill experienced by the audi
ence. Nothing like these moving
talking pictures have ever been seen
and heard in this city.
Manager Hyatt has secured re-
turn engagement for next Tuesday
evening, May 26th, when an entire
new program will be given. The
pictures will be presented in the
armory opera house, as it is believ-
ed the Orpheum theatre will be in
adequate-as it was last evening"
to accommodate the crowds Of peo-
pie who will want to attend the eX-
hibition.

Those Auto Horns.

Can anyone explain why so many
horns are unmusical? Mechanical
ingenuity has invented some of the
most wonderful contrivances known
to man by which musical and other
sounds pleasing to the ear may be
produced Some of the motor horns
have a soothing effect. They sound
three or four notes in a chord and
are very pleasing. However,. the
squawk of a choked chicken or the
below of a dying calf come nearer
the exact sounds of many of the au-
to horns. 1t is startling enough to
attempt to hurry across the street
in front of an oncoming automobile
without the added terror of a screech
from the approaching car which
raises the hair. Hunters used to
wind their horns in old songs and
poetry; does no one wind a horn
now? If Gabriel uses a horn on the
las. day such as one commonly hears
on automobiles, the effect ought tc
be instantaneous.

Some Auto Stunt.

According to press dispatches,
Charles Hines, residing near Newell,
has pulled off the best auto stunt OF
the season. He was riding along the
highway when his auto skidded, left
the road and turned completely ov-
er. The machine kept on going when
it landed right side up. Mr.. Hines
was thrown about twenty feet when
the car turned its somersault. He
picked himself up, took after the
vanishing auto and caught it before
it was damaged. He climbed into the
seat and drove home without losing
more than a minutes time. Such
performances are very hard to pull
off and it is not advisable for the
average driver to undertake them.

ICE CREAM MAKERS
MUST Be CAREFUL
Pure Food Commissioner Puts Ban
Upon the Unbaked Cone
Unfit for Food.

w. B. Barney, dairy and food COM
missioner, has placed a ban on the
use of the unbaked ice cream cone.
He says they are not fit to eat. Deal
ers in ordering supply for the sum-
mer are warned against making
contracts for this class of goods.
There are two methods of making
ice cream cones. BY one method the
cones are moulded and baked in met
al forms, BY the other method the
cone is moulded in forms and dried.
This method does not burst the
starch granules as no heat is used.
A product of this nature is not prop
erly prepared for eating. 1t is indi-
gestible. The sale and the use of
the unbaked cones will henceforth
be objected to by the food authori-
ties of the state.
Operators of cream stations, of
which there are 1000 in Iowa, will
receive instructions from the state
dairy and food inspector to clean up
their establishments and keep them
in a sanitary condition during the
summer season. The department
will require that wherever cream is
held for shipment, proper arrange
ments shall be made to keep 1t
sweet.
Since the supreme court has ruled
the ice cream standard law to be
constitutional, the ice cream manu-
facturers will need more cream than
they did in former seasons, it is
said. The product must be richer in
butter fat In the summer months
when the production of cream falls
off the department fears there will
be attempts to get by with lower
quality than the law requires.
There are 500 creameries in the
state Special instructions regard
ing the sanitary arrangements of
these establishments will be sent
out. .,
