CONSCIENCE WORKS
ON OWNER OF WATCH

Iowa Falls, May 29.-An accusing
conscience seems to have prompted
some farmer living near this city to
remit $40 to T. M. Mara at Estherville
as partial restitution for watch that
Mr.. Mara claims to have lost while at
work in South Dakota thirteen years
ago. Mr. Mara is roadmaster for the
M. & st. L. road and was with a con-
struction gang when he lost the watch.
How the repentant man came into
possession of the watch Is not stated
in the note that accompanied the re-
mittanoe. The remitter of the con-
science money stated he would send
the balance this fall and that the $40
was to be considered as partial pay
ment on the missing time-piece.

STRAIGHTEN ROAD
IN MAHASKA COUNTY

Oskal0osa, May 29-The county road
engineers are starting an important
improvement on the New Shar-
on Oskaloosa road, in the straight
ening of the channel of Middle creek,
preparatory to the building of new
concrete bridge at that point. The
creek makes large horse shoe bend
just as it crosses the road. and this
has been largely responsible for the
excessive overflow in rainy seasons.
The Strengthened channel will give q
more direct flow to the stream. The
dirt from the excavation is being
used in grading the road at that point.
When the bridge is completed it will
take the place of the last wooden
structure on the road between here
and New Sharon.

LOCAL CAPITAL TO
BUILD new HOTEL
PROMOTERS FROM OUTSIDE WILL
NOT BE ASKED TO HANDLE
THE PROJECT.

The new hotel proposed to be con-
structed in Ottumwa will be built ny
a. local company say the men who are
interesting themselves In the project.
There Is no intention to employ profess
sional promoters to construct and H.
nance nor secure tenant for the
building after its completion, according
to those who have the project in hand.
They say that they have confidence IN
Ottumwa business men to handle the
hotel matter as local company and
the stockholders expect to do this. The
plan to have an outside company de-
voted to building hotels come here and
furnish architects, builders, tenants
and to finance the project would re-
lieve the local capital interested from
much OF the work connected with the
enterprise, but 1t would also entail
considerable expense which the stock
holders might save by doing the work
themselves This Is the plan now
meeting most favor as the men pro-
noting the hotel matter say that the
amount saved from promoters fees
can be applied on the building and bet
ter results follow even though 1t means
more work for them. Should an out
side firm be given the handling Of the
project as first intended tho local men
would have the task of raising the
money and they feel that they can
do the rest just as well.
It Is expected when the money is in
hand to be able to find builders, archi-
tects and tenants who will be ready
and willing to seize the opportunity
when they know the money is avail
able. With the control of the project
in local hands, the men who will have
the matter in charge say they believe
they too can easily arrange for the
bond issue and the financing OF the
new hotel. The plan is along different
lines than heretofore considered and It
is believed that with the money raised
the company will be organized to deal
with tenants and builders.
The meeting called for Tuesday
night promises to be well attended and
a goodly number OF the citizens will be
present. A committee has been engag-
ed for the past few days preparing for
the meeting and has the agreement of
many men to attend. There will be
no subscriptions solicited Tuesday
night. However if anyone present at
the meeting desires to invest in some
shares, they will be given the oppor-
tunity for a number of men have ex-
pressed themselves already to the ef-
feet that they will make known the
number of shares they expect to buy
in the new hotel company.

PALESTINE SAFE
FOR JEWS AGAIN

New York. May 29.-Persecution of
the Jews In Palestine has entirely
ceased, according to information re-
cefved by the American Jewish COM
mittee and made public today. The
greatest sufferers in Palestine at pres
ent, the committee was informed, are
the members of the Catholic religious
orders whose property, it was stated,
has been seized by military author
tiles. Economic conditions were re-
ported as bad, as strict blockade pre-
vents imports and there was an in
vasion of millions of locusts which
were destroying the grain.

Stunted City Worker-

The stunted city worker has been
discussed recently in a remarkable
paper by an English inspector of fac
tories. He contrasted the figures of
the height and weight of 2.74a men
reared in such Industrial centers as
Sheffield, Birmingham, Gateshead,
Newcastle and Swansea, working at
indoor occupations, with those of 400
navvies, iron workers and salmon fish
ermen, born and bred in rural dis
tricts and accustomed to outdoor call
ings.
He found that the average height Of
the indoor workers was five feet. five
inches, and the average weight 10
stone. The average hight of the out
door workers was five feet, eight
inches and the weight 10 stone 4
pounds.
Scotsmen were the tallest, and ma
tives of County Kerry the heaviest.
he declared that a considerable pro-
portion of the working population
was being .artffcially stunted to a
grave extent
He expressed the opinion that de-
ter1oration was largely a matter of
poverty. Tea did more than was sus-
pected to undermine the constitution
OF the industrial classes.
