Fort Dodge, Ia, Jan. 19.-Alonza

man reforms and the instructor OF
James A. Garfield, died at his home
near Fort Dodge. He was SO years

Father Coffin, as he was known

A number of years ago he estab-
lished the Railroad Temperance asso-
citation. which afterward was merged
into the Railroad Young Mems Chris
tian association. Another one of his
philanthropies was the establishment
of Hope Hall on his farm near Fort
Dodge. the object of which was to eff
feet the reformation of e~x-convicts.
subsequently he gave farm land te
the state w. c. r. u. for the location
of Benedict home, a refuge for faller
girls. He helped also to establish
home for disabled and infirm rail
road men at Highland Park, Ill. HI
was a liberal donor to many colleges
Once he was a member OF the state
railroad commission and later was
the prohibition candidate for govern
or of Iowa.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Jan. Especial: The
allies in Belgium and France and the
Russians in Poland are both making
progress against the opposing forces,
according TO latest official statements
issued from Paris and Petrograd.
The Germans who are endeavoring
TO advance on Warsaw, seemingly
have been held in check. while Rus
sian advance columns have stormed
and captured the important pass of
Kirli Baba, leading from Bukowina
into Hungary.
The Turks in the Caucasus have
met with another disaster in the
neighborhood of Kafa-Urgan, advices
from Tiflis assert, the Eleventh Turk
ish corps being routed and all its ar
tillery captured.
Regarding the operations in the
Caucasus, an earlier communication
issued al Petrograd, said that the
F~ifty-second Turkish regiment had
been overwhelmed by a bayonet at
tack and that in the retreat of the
Turkish troops. the Russians took
more than 5000 prisoners and a
vast amount of stores.
Much of the fighting in Belgium
has been done along the region OF
Newport and Lambarrtzyde, where
the French claim to have forced the
Germans to ~evacuate their trenches
in the Great Dune. There have been
engagements also al various points
along the great line extending TO the
German frontier and in the Argonne
the Germans claim TO have secured
the advantage, although the opera
tions have been hampered by heavy
storms. A German official statement
places the losses to the allies during
the past four weeks in the west al
about $50, 900 men and at the same
time fixes the German losses at less
than one-quarter of that number.

: : BUSINESS Change
vi. g. DRAKE DISpOSES or HIS
FARM IMPLEMENT BUSINESS
To FRANK PITZER.


a deal has been completed whereby
M. G.. Drake sells his extensive farm
implement business to Frank Pitzer.
Mr.. Pitzer takes over the large ma
chinery warehouse and lots, corner
VanEps avenue and Fourth street,
and the large stock of farm imple-
ments, the deal turning around $780,
600. Mr.. Drake engaged in the i'm
plement business about three years
ago after completing a term of four
years as county auditor, and by in
dustry and good management he has
built up a thriving business in his
line, second TO nom other in this sec
ton. Discussing the matter this
morning Mr.. Drake expressed appre-
citation of the generous patronage he
had received from the farmers OF this
section since engaging in business.
Mr.. Pitzer. successor to the bust
ness, has been engaged in farming
and stock raising on an extensive
scale the past several years, seven
miles west of the city on the Lake
Herman road. He owns choice farm
ing land in that locality and also
farm land elsewhere. Desiring to re
tire from the farming business and
yet in the prime of life as a business
man, he has taken over this well es-
tablished implement business as a
line suitable to his taste.
Messrs. Drake and Pitzer with as
sistants commenced today the work
of invoicing the stock which will re-
quire several days as the stock is
large.
AS to his future operations Mr..
Drake has not yet decided. But it is
not his intention to remove from
Madison and Lake county, where he
has resided practically all his lire
and where he has been successful as
a farmer, in an official capacity and
in commercial business.
Mr.. Pitzer will be welcomed to the
business circles of the city. He is
already well known among business
men as a progressive business farm
er-and there is assurance from his
cordial manner that he will be equal
ly progressive In his new undertak-
ing.
