for fomenting strikes in munitions
plants in the United States.
William Warm, editor of the Hun
garian paper Szabadsag, who prepared
the memorandum outlining the plan
for interference with the munitions
plants, which was approved by Am
bassador Dumba and was the basis for
the request for his recall.
1t can be stated on good authority
that this government will either ask
for the recall of Capt. Won Papen or
hand him his passport; that it will
cancel the exequatur of Consul Gen
eral Won Nuber, and will refer the
case of Warm to the proper depart
ment for such legal action as may fit
his offense.
The case of Ambassador Dumba
himself again became one of serious
consideration for the government, prin-
|cipally because the correspondence re-
vealed he had made comment on the
president referring to his "self-willed'
temperament, and he discussed the
presidents relations to Congress.
In this connection the important dis
covery was made today that Ambassa-
dor Dumba had asked the State De-
partment to arrange for his safe
passage home, and that his request
has been held up by the administra-
tion for reasons not fully revealed.

FORMAL OPENING
OF THE BIG STORE
Webster City Mercantile Co. Holds
Successful Opening in Fine r
New Quarters.

! IN spite Of unpleasant weather, an
enormous crowd was present Friday
night at the formal opening of the
Mercantile store in the Syndicate
block on east Second street, between
the hours of 1880 and 10 O'Clock. The
store needed little interior decorat-
ing, as shelving, fixtures and goods
were alike clean, new and attractive.
The display windows, however, were
splendidly arranged and lighted, new
showings in filmy laces, embroideries
and white goods vieing with dainty
bits of underwear and lingerie.
1t is estimated that between 1900
and 1900 people visited the big de-
partment store that evening and ad-
mired the beautiful displays of white
goods and ready-to-wear articles
which were out for inspection.
In the suit and coat section, the
arrangement of the suits, coats and
gowns is perhaps more ideal
than in any other store in
the city, as the lighting facilities
make the showing of the articles COM
paratively easy for both clerk and
customer.
About 500 carnations in red, pink
and white were given away, the sup
ply being exhausted early in the ev-
ening. DeFrance's orchestra played
during the evening and was station
ed in the rest room, which is COM
fortably arranged in the rear Of the
suit section and separated from the
main store with a lattice work. This
room is for the convenience of both
clerks and patrons of the store.
In the meat and grocery depart
ment the goods We're attractively ar
ranged and the bright, cleanly aspect
of this section is a valuable asset to
the store.
The shoe and mems ready-to-wear
section is neatly and compactly fur
nished and expressions of admiration
and approval were heard on every
hand concerning the general appear
ance of the big store.

WEBSTER CITY, wATUEsDAY, MARCH %, 1915.

addressed the audience, expressing
the hope that a similar gospel team
might soon be organized here. She
also wished to impress upon the list
eners that not every one that called
"Lord, Lord" should enter into the
kingdom of heaven, but she that
doeth My will''-that the first ster
was bravely begun by public con.
fession of Christ, but after that
works must follow.
The last speaker upon the program
was Floyd F. Miles, city treasurer of
Des Moines, who made an eloquent,
earnest appeal for those of the audi
ence who had not accepted Christ to
do so now. He has himself been a
newspaper man, a police reporter,
and has lived in thirty-seven states
of the union, besides Canada and
Mexico. He stated that he had seen
rather much of the world and it's
seamy side; had, with his wife, seen
the society life of a city in it's SPAR
kle and it's dregs, and that the only
life to live was the Straightforward
Christian life. We brought nothing
into the world, and naked shall go
hence. "There are no pockets in
shroud." The audience was request
ed not to applaud at the end of his
appeal, but to aid by prayer and per-
sonal work in the work of inducing
people to make the public confession.
Several came forward during the in
hymns sung, and few af
ter the close of the services.
On the whole it was a great day
for all concerned and the meetings
will no doubt have a far reaching re-
suit for the cause of Christ.

HAM TALKS OF RATES
Head of the Illinois Central Railroad
Passes Through Webster
City.

A special train, known as the
"President's Special" passed through
this city on the Illinois Central road
Friday afternoon on an observa-
tion trip. The train was composed
of five coaches and several high Of
ficers of the road were among the
party, including President c. H.
Markham. On arriving in Fort
Dodge, President Markham was in
terviewed by the Chronicle, which
says:
President Markham, in brief in
terview, stated that this division Of
the Illinois Central would receive an
addition to it's mechanical equipment
if the railroad could find money
enough to pay for it. The freight
and passenger rates of Iowa are en-
tirely too low, he said, and some
thing should be done about it. "The
supreme court and other high author
ities," said he, "have gone on record
with the opinion that the increase in
rates now sought by the railroads is
warranted. While we are doing a
good business in this territory, it is
only small portion of our system.
The other divisions are not doing
well on account of the disturbed
business conditions which are the re-
suit Of the European war. Though
other businesses in times of depres
sion are permitted to either increase
the prices of their commodities or
curtail their service, the railroads
are prevented from doing this by
law and the public expects the same
service as before at the same rate.
Though it is costing us money we
have maintained the same passenger
mileage as before the war and will
continue to do so as long as it is
possible"
The members of President Mark
hams staff who accompanied him on
this inspection trip are T. j. Foley,
general manager; A. E. Cliff, general
r. w. Bell, superin-
tendent Of motive power; A. F.
Blaess, engineer of the maintenance
of way: J. NJ. Barrowdale, superin-
tendent of the car department; A. F.
Baldwin, chief engineer, and J. l..
East, of the loss and damage bureau.

bank |NSTALLS
WONDERFUL MACHINE.
First National Will Exhibit New
Mechanism in Lobby of Their
Building.

The First National Bank has just
added remarkable machine to it's
equipment. A machine that posts
ledgers more neatly, quickly, and ac-
the work. People who are not ac-
quainted with the inside workings of
| a bank, will not fully realize the
great advantages of machine work
over hand work in posting to the
ledger. The big advantages of US
ing the machine is the saving in
time and in the Improvement in the
appearance and legibility of the
ledger sheet. The big city banks in
New York or Chicago save at least
fifty per cent in time by the machine
method and the First National Bank
will save at least that much time.
Then, too, there is no possibility of
an error, as the machine cannot
make a mistake. g,
Heretofore the clerks when post
ing to the ledger had to just make a
list of checks on each account, then
a list of deposits, add each list sep
arately and then substract to get a
balance. This is all accomplished in
one operation by the new machine.
One of the remarkable features of
the machine is that it automatical-
ly detects and marks overdrafts with
minus sign. When the checks eX-
ceed the deposits no result can be
printed unless the lever is in the
''substract' position. The machine
automatically adds the deposits to
the old balance and substracts the
checks as they are listed. The new
balance is computed and proved
simply by taking a total. The saw
ing in time means something to the
patrons of the bank, for this will be
devoted to the Improvement of the
service in all departments of the in
stitution.
The machine was purchased from
the Burroughs Adding Machine Com
pany of Detroit, and is known as the
Burroughs ng-Subtracting Ma
chine. 1t is the result of much time
and money spent by the Burroughs
91-man-power invention department
to find a machine that would sup
plant the unreliable human brain in
work that has to be absolutely cor
rect in every detail. 1t prints dates,
adds old balances and deposits, sub
stracts checks, computes and prints
balances, and automatically detects
overdrafts. All the operator has to
do is to put down the amounts. All
further mental effort is eliminated.
There is no human being who can
list and add a long column Of figures
at the same time with absolute aC-
curacy, but this machine does it.
They will have two of these ma
chimes in their lobby Saturday for
your inspection.
