OT7UMWA AFTER
MODERN HOTEL
WAPELLo CLUB HAS SUCH PRO-
JEcT UNDER CONSIDERATION.
RAlNSBARGERS BACK TO PRISON
Fire In Furniture Store in Angus
Causes $1,000 Loss, Partially In
sured-creston Man Suicides,
Attributed to Sickness.

Ottumwa, April 21.-If the enthusi.
asm displayed at the meeting of the
Wapello club can be taken as a cri.
tericn, there is a good prospect for
Ottumwa to be among the Iowa cities
that have built or will build modern
hotels in the near future. The pro-
posal laid before the adjourned ses-
sion of the annual meeting at the club
would give Ottumwa an up to date
hostelry with floor devoted to, the
Wapello club as a home, the struc-
ture to cost about 1915, 900 or $3.50, 600
aside from the site which Is the pres
ent home of the club. .
The proposal offered in discussion
contemplates seven story hotel
structure Of wholly modern construc-
ton. 1t is 168x19S in ground dimen-
sions and is st" shaped with the
greater length facing Second street
The seventh floor will be given over
to the Wapello club for its quarters
and will be equipped in an up to date
and convenient manner to suit the
needs of the club. The materials con-
templated are brick on a concrete
base and trimmed in stone or terra
Gotta and absolutely fire proof.
The supporters of the project for
the hoteiclub combination say that
$4,000 to $135,000 to be raised by
local capital will supply the hotel.
The proposition made the committee
by recognized financial and building
concern in Chicago is to secure for
the promoters a loan for one-half the
cost of the building and grounds. If
the local capital can be raised ottum-
wa can thus obtain modern hostelry
that will be worth $275, 900.

of the engineering commission in charge of the

your regular salary just as if you were at work
for the period OF one year. There are no questions
asked, no legal action required, no lawyers fees;
nothing but an examination by the government

WHY HOT WATER MAKES THE
DIRT Fly

EDITOR sTAR-Id like to AJAX why hot water 10 better to
clean away dirt than cold ~ster7 ELLA O.
If you have had much to do with fighting
dirt you know that the chief cause of dirt is oil or
fat which makes grease, and grease, whether it's
on our clothes or hands or on the dinner dishes,
simply catches all the dust that's going. Now, oil is
liquid fat. Heat changes most solid things into
liquid ii changes the solid or half solid fat into OIL
and OIL of course, runs off our hands, or the Dishes
or out of our clothes just the same as water would.
Cold water would not change the fat into liquid;
that's why ii isn't as good as hot water to clean
away certain dirt
If there's no fat or oil in the dirt il matters
very little whether the water used to clean il away
is cold or hot

There was no reason except humanity which
compelled the secretary of the interior and Pres

is little different from the private employer.
He is not running his business for PROFIT,
but for SERVICE.
He is going to produce government railroad
at THE COST OF PRODUCTlON-neither more
nor less. Whatever II costs to build that railroad
he will pay, and he regards the accidents which
will occur in work of this kind as a PART OF THE
COST, which the public, and not the unfortunate
employe, ought TO pay
The public is to use and own the road, and II
men are to be called upon to give their limbs and
possibly their lives, in its construction the public
must pay them or their widows or dependents.
The compensation is small, il is true, but ii is
infinitely better than nothing, and Uncle Sam is
