Better Lighting System for Cresco.

The City of Cresco has closed a con-
tract with the Cresco Light, Heat &.
Power Co. for an entirely new lighting
system for the residence part of the
town, and also for electrical pumping
at the city water works. The electro
lier system for the business section will
not be altered.
At present, there are 80 32-candle
carbon lamps in the residence district,
which will be replaced by 100 25O-candle
power Mazda Tungsten lamps, so that
instead of a red streak, a brilliant,
white light will be diffused by the
street lamps. The additional lamps
will be used to extend the present serv-
ice in the outlying parts of the city.
At present, the city is paying 10 cents
per kilowatt for current. Under the
new contract the price is cents, bring
ing the cost for increased service and
better lights to practically the same
amount now paid.
One of the lights will be placed on
the top of the new water tower. At
height of 135 feet, it will be visible at
nights for long distance.
The contract also provides for pump
ing the city water, and the city officials
estimate that there will be saving of
about $1,000 per annum under the new
method. However, the new plan
will necessitate quite change
in the machinery in the
water plant, large part of that now
in use being practically worthless from
long use. The change will cost the
city about $4,000, and will be made i'm
mediately, the contract calling for the
installation of the new we'll pumps and
a fire force pump by November lst.
When the work is completed Cresco
will be one of the best equipped cities
of it's size anywhere both as regards
lights and fire protection.

The Scotch Band Plea.e..

''The Kilties" played to two good
audiences at the opera house last Satur-
day, the evening audience filling nearly
the seating capacity of the house. The
band furnished good music and plenty
of it, although in our estimation the
band was no better than Kryl's or any
of the Chautauqua bands that have vis-
tied Cresco. However the bagpiper
gave touch of novelty to the program
and he was extra good if we are any
Judge of the skirl Of the pipes. His
dancing also called forth generous ap-
plause, as did the singing of the Scotch
songs and the ballads by their tenor
vocalist. Mr.. Thomson is to be thanked
for his efforts to bring such a good at
traction as ''The Kilties" to Cresco,
but we believe that this child of old
Scotland must have had considerable
difficulty ''a speakin' an talkin'' =
with some of the Frenchmen and Itali-4
ans who made up part of the band.

District Court in Session.

The October term of the district
court convened Monday afternoon, and
had its time occupied until Wednesday
afternoon with probate and other mat
ters, when a jury was empaneled in the
case of the Adams Seed Company, of
Decorah, against the Chicago Great
Western, Philadelphia & Reading and
Wabash Railways.
The grand jury, consisting of Albert
Wallace of Albion, T. S. Davis of
Forest City, Joe Svoboda Of New
Oregon, Joe Shimek of Howard, John
Warburton of jamestown, c. A. Fosse
of Paris, and C. B. Hall of Oak Dale,
held short session, adjourning Tues
day afternoon. They refused to indict
the four young men accused of entering
the Eckstein home near Chester, deem
ing the evidence insufficient, as the tes-
timony of the boy at Eckstein's was
practically unsupported. The grand
jury returned an indictment against
Charles Barnes, the Lime Springs boot
logger, who plead guilty on Wednes-
day morning and was given a fine of
$500, in default of payment to be con-
fined in the county Jail for period of
80 days.
The case of the State of Iowa VS.
Harry Hall was dismissed on motion of
the prosecuting attorney, as he deemed
there was insufficient evidence to es-
tablish the case. The main witness for
the state has been discredited.
Among the probate matters disposed
of, the one of greatest public interest
was one in the case of the estate of G.
T. Watros, deceased, where petition
was filed asking the removal of Mrs.
Elizabeth Watros as Administrative.
After day spent in taking evidence,
the case, on advice of the judge and
with his assistance, was settled by all
the parties and long course of litiga-
ton averted, as part of the agreement
reached included the dropping of six
cases already commenced in the How
ard and Winneshiek courts. In the
settlement reached, Mrs. Watros re-
signs as Administrative and E. R.
Thompson is appointed administrator
under bones of $4,000. Neither Mrs.
Watros or her attorney are are to re-
ceive. any compensation for services
rendered estate, and the attorney fees
of petitioner are to be paiAs ls the es-
tate. Allowance of claims of Viola
and Amy Wstros and N. A. Black
burn by administrative are each set
aside and claims agreed upon in origi-
nal agreement of Viola Watros for
$25OO and Amy Watros for $500 are
ratified.

Well Build Good One Next Year.

The band stand erected by the band
boys in the court house square served a
useful and worthy purpose during the
summer months, but now that the sum-
mer concert season has closed, we sug-
gest its removal. AS permanent ad-
dition to the city's public structures, it
hardly measures up to the standard of
our opera house, library, churches and
schools.

Portland, Me, Aug. 15.-The battle
ship Kentucky came up into the har-
Dor this afternoon and took aboard
the Portland and Rockland companies
of the naval militia for their annual
cruise. She sail to the south as soon as
the militiamen had gone aboard.
At l Saturday afternoon 81 members
of the Bird division of the Maine Naval
Reserve arrived from Rockland to join
the list and End divisions of Portland.
They marched down to Portland pier
expecting to set sail at once; but with
the other no they were forced to await
the arrival of the delayed sea fighter.
Their spare time was spent in putting
on last touches in the preparation of
their kits and hammocks. Then during
the evening they were allowed to do as
they liked so long as they reported to
Lieut.. Commander Dyer Sunday morn
ing.
1t is estimated that $50 Maine boys
will leave on the cruise which will oc-
cupy II days. They will be joined by
other contingents just as large from
Rhode Island and Connecticut. The
daily routine followed will be the same
as that which the sailors of the Unit
ed States navy are forced to carry out

DEFENSES OF THE UNITED STATES IN DETAIL

ating an efficient military reserve-a
body Of men who have been given a
thorough military training in the short
est possible time and then returned to
their industrial pursuits.
With the reserve system the army
would be a school graduating a steady
procession of trained soldiers. all
pledged to defend their country if it
is assailed. and ready for service at a
moments notice.
Your committee also Endorses the re-
peated recommendation made to Con-
gress by different administrations for
providing adequate reserves of arms,
armament, ammunition and all classes
of war material. These are needed as
badly as reserves of men. Both are so
absolutely essential in any adequate de-
fensive arrangement as to make their
provision imperative. If an order were
placed for field guns at the outbreak of
war four to six months would elapse
before delivery of the first battery could
be made. The militia needs BIG of these
guns to complete its equipment We are
$50 guns short of the estimate of the war
department for field guns to equip the
Immediately available trained force
deemed necessary to meet and check the
| first efforts of an invader.
Shortage Of Ammunition
"a similar alarming shortage exists in
ammunition for field and siege guns. OF
! the total amount recommended by the
, war depa rtment as necessary to supply
an adequate first line of defence until
! the manufacturing industries of the coun-
| try could get in shape to meet the de-
rand, lass than % per cent. has been
provided.
| The shortage Of ammunition extends
| also OF our coast defences. The war
| department plans call for the ammuni-
ton necessary for only one hours FIR
! ing. yet this modest requirement has
not been met. The amount actually
| available for the guns in some of oul
most important sea coast batteries is
sufficient for only 30 to 40 minutes fir
| ing.
! Finally, your committee hopes tina,
| special attention may be given to this
the last Of its recommendations. Sc
| long as the secretary of war-the mar
primarily responsible for the efficiency
and economical administration of thf
service-has no hand in the preparation
| Of budget on the floor of the House
Of Congress, while the men who fine
advantage in spending the appropria
tions in extravagant ways have such a
voice as we'll as a vote, just so long
will our national defensive arrange
ments be woetfully out of proportion to
| the money expended. AS a first step
toward making our military system
highly and permanently efficient a
budget system should be adopted in
our national administration similar to
u tina which exists in substantially all
other civilized countries"

Washington, Aug. 15.-Findings or
the court of inquiry which investigated
irregularities in examination and rec
itations at the Naval Academy with
disciplinary action approved by Sec
rotary Daniels were made public to-
night at the navy department. Two
midshipment, Ralph H. Nelson. Jr., OF
Peekskill, n. y, and Charles M. Rea-
gle of Wellslville, Ohio, are dismissed
from the academy. Twelve others are
ordered disciplined in verifying degrees.
The court, appointed by Secretary
Daniels last June, submitted unani-
nous report. All discipline reconrnend-
atoms weer approved by the secretary
and the dismissals were submitted and
approved by President Wilson.
Sweeping changes in the method of
conducting examinations were recon-
mended by the court Among them were:
That the practice of giving out dope"
or advance information should be abol-
ished unless heads of the departments
issue it by memoranda. thus insurfng
that all receive it in equal amounts and
in the same form.
That examinations should not be made
so long or so difficult as to make the
dope" system necessary for great pro-
portion of a class to pass examinations
satisfactorily.

KAISER WILLING TO
CONSIDER PEACE IF
ALLIES MOVE FIRST

Paris, Aug. IA dispatch to Four
nler's News Agency from Rome says
that the German Emperor, in answer
to the peace letter of Pope Benedict
XIV, declared his Willingness to ac-
cept peace negotiations provided the
nations with which Germany was at
war made the first overtures.
Austria made a similar reply to the
Pope's letter, the dispatch adds.
Pope Benedict's appeal for peace adj
dressed to the beligerent nations, was
issued July rs, the anniversary of the
opening of the European war. 1t asked
why a direct or indirect exchange of
views could not be initiated in which
1.-The rights and Just aspirations of the
various peoples could be aconsidered as
far as possible, and thus put to an end
the terrible combat, as has been the
case previously under similar circum-
Stances
The letter invited the true friends
of peace in the world to extend their
hands to hasten the end of a war
which for year has transformed Eu-
rope into an enormous battlefield" and
declared that he should be blessed
who first extends the olive branch
and tenders his hand to the enemy in
offering him reasonable conditions of
peace.
