MORE WIRELESS STA
TONS IN THIS CITY
At Martin Telephone Office and E
H. Martin and R. L. Sterl-
ing Homes.

Webster City is soon to have sew
eral new wireless stations which
will make possible the interesting
study of the wireless. E. H. Martin
and r. l.. Sterling Of the Martin
Telephone Company are planning to
soon place stations in the telephone
Office, the Martin residence and the
Sterling home. These will be con-
nected with the station at the Dun
lap jewelry store and an attempt
will be made to give and receive
messages here in the city.
The wireless code differs from the
Morse code which is used in tel
egraphy in several characters and
is simplified in some ways while
more complicated in others.
This will make several wireless
stations in the city, but as yet only
one aerial wire which is over the
Dunlap store. The temptation-so
the people in the Dunlap store say
is to listen and play with the fas-
cinating toy much Of the time and
their work will not admit of their
spending too much time with it. AS
yet, Mr.. Dunlap and his assistant
are only able to tell the time which
is given out from the wireless sta
ton in Illinois, but as has been writ
ten before, messages have been re-
ceived by an expert operator who
passed the store one evening and
who listened for awhile at the wire.
Two years more will see many Of
these stations over the city, for there
are boys and young men who are
intensely interested in the new tele-
graph and will by that time have
stations Of their own.

FAREWELL SURPRISE.


At the Odd Fellows hall in Blairs-
burg, on the evening of Feb. 18th,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Buick were CIV
en- a farewell surprise by the Re-
bekahs before their removal to
Webster City. Mr.. end Mrs. Buick
were presented with set of silver
orange spoons as a rem entrance of
the occasion. Dainty refreshments
were served and an enjoyable even
ing spent by all.
A very pleasant surprise was al
so given Misses Leona and Ethel
Buick on Friday evening when
about forty of their friends from
harrisburg and surrounding coun-
try called and took possession Of
their home, four and half miles
southeast of harrisburg. The even
ing was spent in games and music.

pink ribbon was twined around each
candle holder and stretched the full
length and breadth of the table. The
electric light chandelier, directly ov-
err the table, was entWined with
green crepe paper. The color scheme
of white and the delicate shades Of
pink and green was further carried
out with name cards attached to the
drinking glasses, the individual
crocheted nut baskets and also the
opera sticks, three of the latter be-
ing tied with pink ribbon and stand
ing at each plate.
At the conclusion of the luncheon
the guest of honor was summoned to
the front door. Thinking it was
probably the person who usually
calls at a given hour on the evening
of such a function, she was not slow
in obeying the summons. However,
large market basket was all that
was in evidence when she reached
the door. This basket occupied her
time for quite a while, there being
concealed within it many packages
-beribboned and very mysterious
looking. These contained miscellau-
eous gifts for the bride-to-be. An
hour was spent socially and~ after
this the guests dispersed to their
homes.

hurled his anathemas at the moder
ate drinker. A good thing in tn,
hands Of evil men can be Influenced
but an evil thing in the hands O.
evil men cannot be Influenced. Mr.
Martin mentioned the fact that one
cannot touch off D barrel of dyna
mite by degrees, but one touch Of {
match is sufficient for vast destruc.
ton. The convivial spirits with
which saloon is surrounded is an.
other thing which argues for it. A
glad hand is always extended at a
saloon Church clubs should emu
late the spirit of social welcome
which is given to strangers who are
within their gates. Here Mr.. Martin
closed with the reiteration that the
only way to bring the cause of tenn
perance to higher ground is to make
it a part of high Christian charac-
ter.

early in February in Waterloo. May
or Ingledue was "wet" mayor OF
Marshalltown for two terms and is
candidate for reelection this
March upon the dry platform. He
also gave few interesting. statis-
tics upon Kansas which has been a
prohibition state for several years.
He read a letter from H. L. Litch-
field, formerly of this city, now of
Waterloo, in which the early results
of the prohibition measures recent
ly passed in Waterloo were set
forth at length. The improvement
in physical, industrial and social
well-being of Waterloo was empha-
sized by Mr. Litchtield.
Dr. E. E. Richardson then gave a
short talk upon "Alcohol and the
Human Body" This was necessarily
cut short on account of the lateness
of the hour. Any use of alcohol is
always deteriorating upon the hum
an body. 1t lowers the resistance
and overworks the heart. Doctors
all agree that pneumonia when con-
tracted by an alcoholic is sure to be
fatal. Insurance companies look
askance upon the moderate drinker,
as we'll as the habitual drunkard.
N. J. Loring closed the evenings
program with few remarks upon
the temperance situation in Europe
which has been such a surprise to
America. The prohibition measures
taken by Germany and Russia and
the few steps taken toward that end
by England, were alike commended.
The evening was pleasurable
and profitable occasion for all who
attended.
