In every business undertakins-every-
thing from college to a fve-and-ten-
cent store-a boOkkeeper is needed.
Whether times are dun or lively. no
matter how methods of business vary.
there must always be bookkeepers and
accountants. So, although booRkeep-
ing is not one of the professions that
at present draws large numbers OF wom-
en- recruits. IT is nevertheless one thar
offers as sure and as steady occupa-
ton in all parts of the country. in sea-
son and out OF season, as any that 4
woman might choose.
Every profession has its ups and

The one most important point we
wish to impress upon every person
who is about to invest in furniture, is
our object in extending credit.
The whole idea. the one purpose
of our credit system is to enable peo-
pie to buy the class of goods in which
there is the most real value.
No one ever found it economical
to put cheap" furnishings into a
home. They never look well-never
wear well-never give you a mo-
ment's pleasure.
How much better it is to come
right to us and select the furniture
that will give you comfort. and
pleasure, and year after year of sat-
isfactory service.
Don't wait a day. Come here at
once and see how easily you can af-
ford the nice things by arranging
for small weekly or monthly pay
ments.
Good values cannot be bought for
less money than we ask. and you'll
find the price on every article in fig
ures you can read. We charge your
purchases at these plainly marked
prices. without notes or interest.

ENGINE AND SEVEN
CARS OFF THE TRACK
Freight Train De-Railed Near the
Des Moines Street Railroad
Crossing.

A north bound freight train was
derailed Saturday morning about 6
o'clock on the Northwestern right of
way near the Des Moines street
crossing. The engine and about sew
en- cars were de-railed, presumably
by the spreading of a rail and it was
two hours and half before the
track was clear. This necessarily
delayed the north bound passenger
due in this city about z o'clock
which was unable to leave until
nearly 9 o'clock.
So far as could be learned, no one
was hurt or injured by the accident
1t was impossible to learn the exact
details of the wreck, owing to the
questionable policy pursued by the
company, which admits of it's EN-.

ALDERS0N'S ARREST
IS NOW EXPECTED
Whereabouts of Man Who Stole
Parkhurst & Lavender Car
are Known.

S. S. Parkhurst and family, who
left this city week ago Sunday for
Madison, Wis, for the purpose of re-
covering the stolen Parkhurst &
Lavender Buick car which was To-
Gated near that city about ten days
ago, found the machine in fairly
good condition with the exception OF
a broken spring which any cross
country driver is likely to have. AL
derson had been seen about the
streets of Madison before the car
was discovered at some distance
from Madison, where Anderson had
run out of gasoline and had driven
the car up into a thicket beside the
road. Here it had remained for two
days before it was recognized as an
swering the description of the stolen
car from Webster City.
Definite information regarding
the whereabouts of Anderson has
been found and MS arrest is cOnn-
IDENTIFY expected within a few days in
one of the large cities Of that section
of country.
Mr.. Parkhurst made very good
time both going and coming, al
though on the way north and east
he encountered about seventy-five
miles of mud. He left this city at
$50 a. m. on Sunday and arrived in
Madison at 7:50 o'clock that even
ing. The full distance is 3O9h
miles which made very good time in
fourteen hours.
Verne Black, who is employed by
Parkhurst & Lavender, went up to
Madison and drove the Buick car
home while the Parkhursts drove in
their Hudson.

Central.

A message to the Freeman-Trib-

that during Saturday nights down
pour a big hail storm struck in the
vicinity of Newell and extended
east to Tara, the first station west
of Fort Dodge. The crops in a strip
of country eight miles wide along
the Illinois Central railroad are re-
ported as completely ruined by the
pelting downpour of hail.
There was no damage done in Ft

the fields in the surrounding coun-
try not yet harvested were badly
blown down.

lens are financial and international
The new Republic is striving to ge
onto the single gold standard of fin
ance. The secret of the fall of tn
old monarchy was lack of money
The old order tried hard to rais
money on a loan from the old Tarta
aristocracy but failed; hence, said NJ
Poon Chew wittily, Cream of Tartar
failed to raise the dough-" The lect
ure was full of delightful quips ani
quirks which were hugely enjoyed
by the audience.
DR.. Ng Poon Chew is pro-German
on the European war on the princi-
pie that if he met in the woods one
wolf fighting six, he would pray that
the one might lick the six because
then he would only have one wolf
to deal with! AS matter of fact,
all nations of the world have count
ed China legitimate prey except the
United States, and the lecturer gave
us credit for our Chritian forbear-
ance. Ng Poon Chew does not love
the Japanese, and he says that the
new China will become unChristian-
ly militaristic in order that she may
hold her own against the military
Organization of the world. The lect-
ure was remarkable for its informa-
tional quality, and was one of the
very best from this platform.
At the close of the lecture on
China, Uel w. Lamkin spoke ably on
the public school system of the Unit
ed States. 1t was a fine talk along
more or less familiar lines, but it
suffered from the fact that it was
placed after the audience had sat
through an already long program.
Professor Lamkin is an able speaker.
His points were clear, his manner
earnest, and the reforms suggested
were desirable.

"Ross Crane" in one of the most en-
joyable and unique Of entertainments.
Mr.. Cranes line is chalk and clay.He
makes chalk talk and clay speak, and
the easel is a sounding board for his
sane and happy philosophy of life.
Ross Crane may not know it, but he
is a poet. He talked while he put
his sketches on the easel, and there
rippled from his tongue pretty views
of men and things. He called his
lecture Strawberries and Prunes but
it might better have been named, A
sketch-poem on the right uses of the
imagination. He was very clever
with his colored crayon and still more
clever and fascinating when he turn
ed to modelling clay. Out of a lump
of soft clay, as though he were new
creator of men, he modelled the face
of Mark Twain, and he finished his
clay program with a life-like portrait
of Uncle Sam. With a deft turn of
his hand he plucked off Uncle Sans
beard, and, 10! the calm patient face
of Lincoln looked out upon the audi
ence. Ross Cranes chalk sketches
and his soft statuary mark him
among the artists, but the Freeman
Tribune enjoyed even more the phil
osophy of life which fell from his
lips the while his hands worked
their magic in chalk and clay.

TWO HOUSES STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING
Chas. Harnmitt and AL Moore Resi-.
dences on Bank Street Suffer
Damage.

Saturday night at 1890 o'clock
a. m. began one of the hardest rain
storms of the season. 1.41 inches Of
water fell. 1t was accompanied by
violent wind and electrical storm
which in this vicinity broke branches
of trees and blew out electric lights
and telephones.
/ About o'clock bolt struck the
Mrs. C. NJ. France house at $40 Bank
street, occupied by Chas. Hammitt
and family. Mr.. and Mrs. Hammitt
were sleeping in an upper room and
had, few moments before the light
ming struck the house, removed their
baby from it's little bed and taken it
in bed with them. The bolt of cleo
tricity struck the side of the house
just under the caves, tearing out a
hole two feet square just above the
baby's bed and throwing plaster and
splinters all over the room.
The occupants of this room and
the one adjoining were stunned by
the shock and knew nothing of the
occurrence for some time. When they
regained consciousness the room was
filed with smoke and the smell OF
sulphur, although the wall was not
on fire.
A strange thing about the bolt,
was the fact that it entered at the
corner of a shed porch much lower
than the caves of the house and rip
ped off shingles, evidently running
along piece of tin at the joining of
shed room to the main part of the
house, to the spot in the side wall
where it tore out hole. The house
hold goods are insured, but the house
itself is not, so the cost of repairs
will be a total loss to Mrs France,
who resides in Woodstock.
At the same time the Al. Moore
residence, first door west of the
Hammitt home, was struck, the bolt
entering the roof and coming down
through the attic, wrenching the at
tic door off and hurting it across the
bed in which Mr. and Mrs. Moore
lay sleeping and setting it against
the opposite wall. Here the bolt had
egress at the corner of the upright
portion of the house where it joins
the kitchen. Shingles were literally
sprinkled over the lawn adjoining
and the upright support of the house
splintered. The occupants of this
house were also stunned for some
time. and upon awakening thought
the room was full of balls of fire
which seemed to be darting here and
there through the darkness. The loss
on the Moore house is fully covered
by insurance.
Both families were i'll all day Sun
day from the effects of the shock,
suffering severe headaches, although
today they are in their usual health.
