Dr.. smith Closes His Work.

Rev. ]. B. Smith, d. D., closed his
evangelist meetings at the Baptist
church Sunday night. and returned
overland to Waterloo Monday. 1t was
hoped that he could remain another
week. but work in his home field de-
manded his presence. The men Of
the church we're planning to give a
reception for the evangelist tonight,
but an important meeting connected
with an evangelistic campaign in
the church OF which he is pastor
could not be postponed.
DR.. Smith spoke at six services
Sunday, and he appeared to be as
vigorous and forceful in his closing
sermon as at the beginning OF the
day. In his sermon Sunday night he
discussed the Deity Of Christ and
presented Him as the Rock upon
which His church is built, and the
only Savior--the Son Of God IN
whom even the greatest sinner may
find forgiveness and regeneration,
and walk in newness Of life."
At the close Of the sermon seven
responded to the invitation to accept
Christ, making total OF about thir-
ty for the past week. The freewill
offerings for the meetings, as Tar as
reported. amounted to $20s.

SAYS PLATE is
GENUINE ARTICLE

Fort Dodge, Nov. 15.-The lead
plate, dated 100 and bearing a Lat
+ in inscription, which was found last
summer in "boneyard hollow" on
the J. B. Black farm near Lehigh,
has been discovered to be one Of
three similar plates distributed in
the Mississippi valley by the French
explorers to prove their right to the
country.
Edgar Harlan, curator Of the Iowa
Historical Society, was in the city
last week and spent day in the
hollow looking for further evidences
and historical material. He has had
photographs made Of the plate and
these have been sent to different
scholars throughout the country.
The inscription is in very crude Lat
in. Father Hennepin's name appears
in it, but Mr.. Harlan feels it was
not written by him, as in his writ
ings, the best Latin or French ap-
pears.
On the opposite side Of the inscrip-
ton is rudely drawn shield and q
aeur de lis, while the name Louis
18th is at the top. Mr.. Harlan is
much interested in the plate and be-
lieves that it is not only authentic
but a very rare specimen.

Regarding Hunters Licenses.

A number OF inquiries have lately
been received at the ONCE OF the
county audsof regarding the age ),
which licenses may be issued to boys
or young men. The law distinctly
states that no license for hunting
may be obtained in this state by q
person under eighteen years Of age,
except by consent OF the parents. No
boys without licenses, even when ac-
companied BY parent or older per-
son In possession Of license. are
permitted to hunt. The limit Of the
age Of IN applicant therefore IL not
except without the consent
Of parents. Some Misunderstanding
has existed In regard to the liberty
enjoyed by boys with firearms hunt
ing In company with their elders and
It was thought wise to investigate
the law upon this point.

TALK OF REDUCING
NUMBER OF WARDS
Two Plans Have Been Suggested
One for Three and One for
Two Wards.

4 Since the recent special election
in this city anent the adoption o
the city manager plan there hal
been some discussion of the advisa
Ibility Of cutting down the number o.
wards from five to two or three, thus
materially reducing the cost of elec.
tions. Under the new system ward
lines count for little, as all members
Iof the council are elected at large
It is not now part Of the political
game for a councilman to get all he
can for his own ward. That policy Of
tentimes induced councilmen to vote
for something in another ward not
needed, (but which the councilman
of that ward wanted done because it
would be political asset), in order
that the Compliment might be re-
turned when demanded. This policy
has in the past been more or less
expensive to taxpayers and 1t is a
good thing that It has been relegat-
ed to the rear by the adoption Of the
city manager plan and making each
councilman the representative Of all
the people rather than the represen-
tative Of only ward.
An election in Webster City costs
right around $500, or approximately
$50 to the ward. Hence II two CT
the wards were Topped of the saving
at each election would be not far
from $3.50. That is worth while
and II 1t can be accomplished with
out seriously discommoding any con-
siderable number Of people it might
be wise to do it. One plan is to make
two wards Of the entire city, making
Division street the boundary line.
All that, section Of the city south Of
this street would be one ward and
all that section north would be an,
other. Then there IL smother plan'
that contemplates three
wards. This plan would put all Of,
the western part Of the city, say
west Of Prospect street, into one
ward, all that part lying north OF
Division street and east Of Prospect
In another one and that part lying
south Of Division and east Of Pros
pect in still another. OF course the
population Of the various wards
ought to be considered and efforts
made to get them as nearly equal as
possible.
This is q matter that Is worthy
the consideration of the people. toI
The end that majority sentiment may
govern.
