a Topeka man returned from Call
fornia brought back as his most vivid
impression of the sights, the swarmS
of school teachers who are in San
Francisco attending the fair. 1t is
supposed that no occupation so pro-
claims itself as teaching school, and
the man, having the reputation of be-
ing an accurate and observing judge
of womankind, was asked what he
thought of them. He thought they
were the best looking women he saw
in San Francisco; that they wore good
clothes and powered their faces if they
thought it improved them to do so.
His opinion is in line with that of
Helen Dare. of the San Francisco
Chronicle, who writes:
Perhaps it's only natural-with all
this agitation in favor of the pretty
school teacher as a sort of constitu-
tional right of the American school
child-that the lay members of society
should be acutely interested in the
looks of the schoolmarms, now so nu-
merously ''in our midst

Miss Martha Willis WEEDS.

The bride is we'll known here,
having lived for many years in this
city. Since the family went to

SMALL BLAZE AT MRS.
/. ]. ARTHUR HOME
Firemen Called Out Last Evening
Smoke was Discovered Pour
ing Out Of Roof.

B.~ L Il g j q, =.
The fren1en were called out last
night about 6:2O o'clock to the Mrs.
H. J. Arthur home where smoke was
seen pouring out of the roof. The
fire had been discovered by Mrs.
Arthur's son who saw that the roof
was in a blaze. The fremen were
very prompt and careful in throw
ing water, SO that little damage re-
suited from water and the flames
We're quickly extinguished. A good
sized hole was burned in the roof,
however, and the damage will
amount to about 5000. The cause
of the fire is unknown, as no fire had
been built in the furnace during the
day, and SO far as could be seen the
wiring was not defective. Spontan-
eons combustion is the only thing
which might have caused the flames
which apparently originated in a
pile of old papers. The loss is fully
covered by insurance.

Airship Again.

E. A. Weeks of Eagle Grove, who
successfully made the trip from his
town over this city to Boone, last
Tuesday morning, passed over the
city again last night about 7:40
O'Clock. The evening was beautifully
calm and still and the aviator was
able to make the flight much higher
than he did as he went south. He
was apparently over a mile high and
this time it was impossible to read
the name which is painted upon the
bottom of the bird of passage, and
which was plainly read by people in
the city last Tuesday as he went ov-
err.
The buZzing of the engine could
be clearly heard and full view was
obtained of the aircraft which look
ed like a huge insect in the sky as
it crossed the city from southeast to
northwest. Mr.. Weeks made two
flights yesterday at Madrid, where a
celebration was held. His rate OF
speed as he went south over this
city week ago was a mile and a
quarter minute and to beholders
last evening he seemed to be going
faster than he did last week.

Circulating Petitions.

1t is reported that number of
petitions are being circulated today
asking the council to submit the
question of adopting the city man
ager, plan to vote of the people.
The Freeman-Tribune has not seen
any of the petitions and is not in
formed in regard to just what they
contain. 1t is said that many are
signing them.
There has been quite sentiment:
here in favor of the manager plan
for some time, especially since its
successful operation in Dayton,
Ohio, has been more or less discuss
ed in the newspapers and other pub
LEGATIONS. The new law providing
for the city manager plan went in
to effect on the 4th inst. 1t is re-
ported that Waterloo is also taking
steps to have the question submitted
there. Many of the progressive
towns of the state will probably
adopt the new method within the
next few years.

At the end of the 9Th inning it wa.

At the end of the 9Th inning it was
declared draw. The young unmar-
ried men, smarting under their de-
feat by the married men in the "tug
of war;" issued challange for a
game on the ball diamond. Needless
to say the same was accepted. The
crowd could see both teams meant
business. and already the rooters
could be heard offering advice CD
to all and sundry. Attorney G.. D.
Thompson of this city umpired the
game and kept order. ''Play ball."
shouted the crowd-and the game
was on. Early in the game it was
easy to see the cold boys" were to
meet their Waterloo. The way the
young fellows danced around their
former victors was both amusing
and gratifying to most of the spec
tators. The veterans were outclass-
ed and totally defeated. The un-
married had their revenge. This
closed the events of the day. Every.
one had enjoyed themselves, and de.
clared Saturday, the 3rd, was the
best "4th" they had spent in a lons
time.

Big Crowd at Iowa Falls.

The celebration in Iowa Falls yes
terday probably drew the largest
crowd of Webster City people of any
celebration around here. Every east
bound train during the day was
loaded to overfiowing with passen-
gers and it is stated that between
thirty and forty autos from. this city
took pleasure seekers to Iowa Falls
of cars were stuck in the mud
Among the other attractions at the
Falls was an aviator from Grinnell
