for the Courier scores.
Another change was made in the
Courier lineup yesterday. Malony pc

which he played that bag was one OF
the most interesting features of the
game. Triangle" grabbed everything
coming his way in beautiful style and
gave a great imitation of the leader OF

the MYRTLE street lagoon. While boats
have been the proper thing around the
park the past week, the river is falling
rapidly now and the park will be in
good shape in few days Bond has a
great team over at Bloomfield this year
and the game will be one Of the most
interesting affairs staged at the local
play lot in some time. "Chief" Connell
the full blood Indian pitcher whom
Bond secured from Green's Nebraska
Indians, will probably do mound duty
for the Bloomfielders, and this should
be an interesting feature of the game.

CHANGE IS MADE
IN REALTY FIRM
D. D. SMITH AND G. NJ. CLARK
SUCCEED TO OWNERSHIP OF
NORTON g. SMITH BUSINESS

A change has been effected in one
of the oldest and best known real
estate firms of Ottumwa and south
eastern Iowa. d. D. Smith, tor seN
eral years associated with Charles e.
Norton, the partnership dissolving
very recently upon the retirement OF
Mr.. Norton from the business, has be-
come allied with G. NJ. Clark in the
new partnership known as Smith 4
Clark. Mr. Smith Is one OF the best
known real estate dealers in this
vicinity and was junior member of the
recently dissolved partnership of Nor
ton & Smith. G. M. Clark, or George,
as he is best known, who joins Mr..
Smith in the new firm, has been a resi-
dent of Ottumwa for two years and
formerly resided in Chillicothe. For
several years past he has been identi-
fed with successful real estate opera
lions in this and other localities.
The alliance of the present firm may
offer market for the possible tardy
transfer, as it is understood they will
buy and sell land, do general real
estate business, offering to the ex-
change market stocks of various kinds
with the aim of aggressiveness and
assured continuance of honorable
treatment.
Ottumwa is now conceded to be
one of Iowa's attractive markets for
the outside operator in exchanges, and
the new firm of Smith & Clark has
featured in many former creditable
deals in this line. The business
policy of the firm has been outlined
as sufficiently elastic to embrace the
effort to produce growth of real
estate values, the promotion of local
interests, and the determined effort, in
general, to get the needed things
done.

Finally he broke down the door of
cell and found within monk who had
a war map on which were annotations
of military value.
All three monks joined in saying
the upper story of the monastery was
empty and not in use, but the lieuten-
ant started an investigation which
showed that on the upper floor there
had been set up near window large
reflector for signalling, Here also two
more monks were found and all were
taken into custody.

order in the world, and taking in
twenty-seven nations of the world. He
said that over 100000 members were

His text for the short talk which he

of the first cerse Of the first chapter
of the first book of the bible. "In the
beginning God" These were the
words which he used to show that ev
erything had sprung from God. The
speaker said that In any great ques-

answers why and history answers
what, but to the question, ''Who?'
there is only one answer, God"
