The Ottumwa Courier if last night
says: John A. Southwick who lives in
Cskaloosa, was singing and begging
at Court and Main streets this morn
ing Miss Sarah A. Brown, secretary
of the Associated Charities passed
along and stopping, asked the man II
he had a permit from the mayor to
beg upon the. streets. He said that he
did not and didn't need any. He final
ly showed Miss Brown one from the
city administration at Oskaloosa. A
telephone call there threw a little
light on the situation. The man has
been a regular patron of the Social
Service league there for some time
That place is willing TO take care OF
him but is having trouble keeping him
there.
After a little persuasion he promis
ed to 20 back to OskaloOsa this morn
ing When he arrived at the station
however. he said he was on railroad
ground and that no one could toucE
him. Inquiries showed that the Off
Gals of the company had not giver
him a permit TO beg there, When M
became a little too saucy Miss Brown
called upon the city police and Officer
John Stark took the man to the sta
ton where he is being held this after
noon, singing TO himself and declar
ing that he will take his case to the

COLLECTION OF TAXES
Big Sum Taken In, But Not Quite
as Much as Last Year.

County Treasurer, T. L. Graham
and his deputy Frank Wright have
been ION the jump" the. past week
with the last installment of the Sep
TENDER taxes due and everyone wait,
ing until the last minute. During the
last three days of the rush there was
hardly an hour when from twenty
five to thirty persons were not wait
ing at the office. The months work
has been closed up and the collection
for the month OF September is $l7S,'
06S.30 This is a slight decrease from
the total collection booked for the
same month last year, but the de-
crease comes from the fact that Mr.
Graham has installed new system
whereby the taxes are all written up
months ahead of time, and when you
go into the Office now to pay your
taxes you will wait only a few nom
ents, just long enough for them to
turn to the receipt, date and sign II
and the ordeal is all over. Where, be-
fore the receipt had to be wri .
descriptions copied. different school
districts looked up, etc. Last year,
with tn old system. they were unable
