MAKES FORTUNE
IN OLD JUNK

Fort Dodge. Nov. 22.Tom Rob-
inson, iof the frm,.of Robinson RroAs..
junk dealers, wore smile yard
wide Saturday. Why shouldn't he?
After Shaving and pinching for three
years to accumulate pile Of old iron
covering an acre and half OF
ground and extending into the air
sixty feet, Thursday he sold the pile,
1900 tons in all, to a ,manufactur-
er in the east, realizing about $780,
900.
Tom didn't bank on the war when
he started accumulating old stoves,
boilers, scrapped railroads, etc. 1t
was the low price that caused him to
hold on. hoping he could obtain at
least enough profit to pay for the la
Dor of breaking it up. At last the
market scared and old iron reached
the highest figure in decade SO the
brothers dumped.

Two Auto Accidents.

Sunday forenoon a motor cy-

rapidly up Second street west and at
the Wilson hotel corner he struck
the III. b. Mckee Buick car as it was
being driven south on Des Moines
street. The cyclist was thrown clear
of his machine and momentarily
stunned but sustained no worse in
juries than a cut and bruised head
and face. His machine had the front
wheel badly smashed and a few 9TH
er breakages also. The. Mckee car
sustained a broken left rear fender
and minor scratches.
Yesterday a. m. as c. w. Marvel,
accompanied by J. e. Quackenbush,
was driving his runabout south
around the corner by the United
Brethren church the car skidded on
the slippery pavement and ran into
the curbing, breaking the right
front wheel. Neither of the men
were thrown from their seats and no
other breakages occurred.

WAS A MOST FAVOR
ABLE OPENING
Evangelistic Services Begun at
Methodist Church The
Initial Meetings.

~ The evangelistic services at the
4 Methodist church opened under the
most favorable circumstances Sun
day morning. The weather was fav-
0rable and the auditorium was well
filled. Mr.. G. p. Edwards had charge
{ Of the music, and early woA his way
into the hearts of the people. His
solo, Don't you hear the bells
a. ringing?" was greatly appreciat-
ed and his leading OF the chorus and
congregation in singing was all that
could be desired. He expressed him
self as being we'll pleased with the
response OF. the chorus for the open
ing day.
Mrs. Kennedy sang at the close of
the sermon, "Christ is all" the con-
gregation joining in the chorus. She
also offered the closing prayer, and
led the Epworth League service in
tuc cVCAAuS. III hIl JIlcSc dCIitlIlco
she proved herself helpful and in
spring.
The evangelist, H. D. Kennedy,
spoke three times during the day. He
preached in the morning on PauIs
words, ''This one. thing do" adj
dressed a workers meeting at 81
o'clock and preached again at the
evening service on Dayid's victory
over Goliath. He is decidedly orig
inal in his preaching and his quaint
statements Of the Scriptural teach
ing drove home the truth in very
convincing way. AS q preacher Of
the Word he possesses more than or
dinary ability. Both Mr.. Edwards
and Mrs. Kennedy sang solos at the
evening services. This will be an
attractive feature every evening.
Services will be held at the church
every night this week except Satur-
day.

COSTLY FIRE AT
S. B. BA!IR HOME
The Blaze. is Discovered by a Neigh
Dor While Family are Away
From Home.

Another costly fire occurred in
this city Sunday night at 8 o'clock
which, if it had been discovered five
minutes later, would have surely de-
stroyed the S. B. Bair home at the
corner Of Wilson avenue and Di-
vision street. The blaze was discov-
cred by G. Z. Atkinson, who lives
next door to the Bair home and he
turned in the alarm. The Bair and
Ferrell families, who occupy the
home, were out for supper at the w.
b. Bair home on west Walnut street
and were summoned at once to the
scene.
Mr.. Atkinson is Of the opinion
that the fire started from the cook
ing range, the bottom Of which had
burned or rusted through unknown
to the family and let the fire onto
the floor, burning through into the
basement. The blaze must have been
smoldering for some time prior to
bursting into flames for the position
of the conflagration was confined
mostlyfto the woodwork of the base
ment and the wall between kitell-
en- and parlor.
Entrance was secured by breaking
in windows and the flames extin-
guished with chemicals and water.
Excellent work was done by the fire.

ARE GUARDED BY Dogs.
Only Sixteen Overcoats are Allotted
to More Than -Four Thousand
Captives.

London, Nov. 22.-The British
press bureau has published the re-
ports of James w. Gerard, American
ambassador to Germany and meni-
bers OF the embassy staff in Berlin
relative to the condition of British
prisoners OF war in the camp at Wit
tenberg, Prussia.
Lithgow Osborne reported that his
whole impression Of the camp au-
thorities was utterly unlike that
which he( had received in every 9th
er camp he had visited. Instead of
regarding their charges as honor
able prisoners of war he stated they
apparently regarded them as crimi-
nails whom q regime of fear alone
su1Rced to keep in obedience.
-All evidence of kindly human
feeling between the guards and pris-
oners was lacking" said Mr.. -Os-
borne, "and in no other camp have
/ found signs of fear on the part of
the prisoners that what they might
say to me would result in suffering
for them afterwards"
"Upon my arrival at the camp l
was not received by the general who
acts as commandant, but by major.
'-There are over 1000 prisoners in
the camp, of whom 27S are British.
Among these 1 found only sixteen
overcoats. The men, on the whole,
are insufficiently clothed.
''Two prisoners informed me that
the conditions in the camp had un-
questionably improved in the last
few months; that the first of the
year when an epidemic of typhus eN-
listed, the camp conditions had been
indeseribably bad. They said they
then implored the German authors
ties to put the British soldiers in
barracks by themselves as this was
the only way to prevent an outbreak
of the epidemic which had been
brought to the camp by Russians.
This request was refused on the
ground that the British should learn
to know their allies better. Largely
because of this fifty British military
prisoners and nine civilians died Of
the disease.
"My impression of the camp as a
whole was distinctly unfavorable.
The entire atmosphere was depress-
ing. principally due to the fact that
nothing appears to have been done to-
wards bringing about any organ
ization among the prisoners them
selves which would mutually benefit
