much enjoyed. Prefacing the pictures,
Mr.. Shortess spoke of the political stu :

what disastrous results they believed
would follow il the islands were given
their independence without government

Still Suffers-Additiona Snow Adds
Three and One HaIf Inches to Total.

Despite the continued snow and
wind turnout the night and his morn
ing, delays in train service were not
nearly as bad today as anticipated.
The NJ. & ST. L was handicapped all
day Friday, and train 102, due south at
$50 in the evening, did not leave here
until after 9 Friday night. No. g., also
south bound, due at 4:01 this morning,
was about three hours late, while No.
10, going south this morning. was only
an hour and half behind time, and
left about 10: so.
The north bound trains were from a
half to an hour behind schedule. The
Northwestern thru trains Jared much
better than on Friday, and got thru
with little loss OF time. The one ex-
ception was train 10, the Eastern ex-
press, due here at $40 in the morn
ing. This train was hopelessly stalled
in Nebraska, and was scheduled for
las this afternoon, eight hours late.
Story City Branch Suffers.
AS usual the Story City branch
Jared the worst of any of the trains.
The branch managed to get down here
Friday evening, and even made the
return trip, leaving this city about
$50. This morning, however. when
the train left Story City, it soon be-
came stalled in the drifts. and the lat
est reports were 10 the effect that
here was no prospect Of getting out. No
snow pillow was availa BILE this morning,
and unless one is secured this after
noon, the branch may not get in until
late tonight.
Great Western Gets Taste.
The Chicago Great Western expert
enced a taste Of the storm Friday night
when its No. g. thru train from the
north, was SO far behind time that it
was annulled. The train Is due here at
9:1S at night, but came in about S
this morning, scheduled as the first
section of No. 1, due at $40 a. m.
Due to the high temperature and the
absence Of sleet, the telegraph wires
were not affected during this storm,
and communication was not cut off at
any time. Travel was light on the To-
cal trains of the Northwestern and NJ.
& st. L. Friday night and this morn
ing, the people evidently preferring to
stay home and take no chances Of be-
ing compelled to spend Sunday stalled
in the snow.

For Park Commissioner. .

Louis Follett today informs the
people of Webster City, through the
columns of the Freeman-Tribune,
that he is a candidate for re-elec-
ton as a member of the board of
park commissioners. The commits
sion was created two years ago and
Mr.. Follett was appointed by the
council as one of it's members, there
being three commissioners. The
council certainly made a good selec-
tion and it is likely the people will
re-elect Mr.. Follett at the coming
election. He is we'll fitted for the
place, possessing in marked degree
the qualifications for a position ol
this kind. He is worthy in every re-
spect and would appreciate an en-
dorsement by the people.

WEBSTER CITY teams
ARE BOTH DEFEATED
High School Debaters Lose to Spenc-
er-Basket Ball Team De-
feated at Algona.

The high school debating team
comprised of Miss Louise Swanson
and Messrs. Anthony Sparboe and
Merville Gilmore which went to
Spencer Friday noon to compete
with the Spencer high school debat-
ing team, were the losers in the de-
bate which occurred that night. The
teams were very unevenly balanced,
the Spencer team having as one of
its members a young minister with
a year or two of experience upon
the platform. Whether or not he is
a member of the high school or only
upon the debating team was not
learned The rebuttal which was
given had also been prepared entire
tly and learned by the Spencer team,
while that given by the Webster
City team was all extemporaneous.
Our representatives, however, made
an extremely creditable showing and
ably upheld the dignity OF the local
high school.
The high school basket ball team
which went to Algona and compet-
ed for honors on Friday evening
were also defeated by score of 35
to 25 in favor Of Algona. The bask-
ct ball team returned Saturday af-
ternoon while the debating team re-
turned Saturday evening.

judges, 80 held public office, includ-
ing one vice-president of the U. S.,
3 U. S. senators, and a number of
governors, mayors, and members of
congress.
The sermon emphasized the need
of eternal vigilance in looking after
the welfare of the child. A child
does not need correction all the
time, but it does need guidance,
teaching, right examples and good
surroundings. Prevention is better
than cure. A poem was read show
ing how the people of certain city
first arranged to put an ambulance
down in the valley to pick up the
injured who had fallen from a dan
gerous cliff, but afterward learned
the superior wisdom of putting q
fence around the cliff and cutting
off the business of the ambulance
, down in the valley
But what if the child goes wrong
in spite of the most careful train
ing? Samson went wrong, though
his life was carefully looked after.
But this is the exception 70 the rule.
Here the sermon took up the old
saying that preachers boys are bad,
they never amount to anything"
This was pronounced shallow Ii
bel, and long list of noted men was
quoted, who had achieved eminence,
Notwithstanding the fact that they
were the sons of ministers. In this
list were such men as Holmes, Ten
nyson, Lowell, Morse, Field, Beech
er, the Wesleys, Bancroft, Emerson,
Senator Dolliver, President Wilson,
Justice Hughes, the Wright broth
ers, any many others.
Considering the fact that all
these must necessarily represent the
sons of protestant ministers, and
the peculiar handicaps of the minis
ter's boy, who naturally thinks it
absurd that he should be expected to
be the only boy of the community
to practice what his father
breaches" the record is good one.
The list was given, said Mr.. Kamp-
hoefner, not in the spirit of boast
ing, but to show that early training
along right lines was effective.
Sometimes ministers have to set
things right, and it is time this
hoary-headed lie were nailed

THE WORST STORM
OF THE SEASON
Electric Light, Telephone ard Tel.
egraph Wires are Down-Limbs
Blown From Trees.

The storm of Sunday and Mon
day was the worst In the his
tory OF this vicinity this winter SO
far as damage to traffic and to cleo
trio, telephone and telegraph wires.
Rumor says there is blizzard rag
ing in the vicinity of Norfolk, Neb.,
with the temperature at % degrees
below zero. If this Is the case resi-
dents of this vicinity are indeed
fortunate.
The damage sustained by the city
to electric wires is less than to any
other lines of wires. The force was
out this forenoon in the city repair
ing wires and transformers which
had been burned out.
Real danger was present Sunday
night to pedestrians in all parts of
the city from the falling limbs OF
trees. The heavy coating of ice en-
crusted the trees in a coat of mail
which easily snapped off the limbs
of trees in the gale of wind.
A large limb was blown from a
tree at the northwest corner OF the
central school building and anoth-
er from a tree in front Of the LeTi
Cottington home. Another was
blown from tree in front Of the
DR.. f. E. Whitley home on First
street and from the trees in front or
the r. B. Spielman home on Water
street. Smaller limbs of trees were
blown from trees all over the city.
The greatest damage of all is sus-
tanned by the telephone companies.
Today the Bell telephone company
have a force of twenty men in the
city and vicinity working upon the
lines. There is no toll service and
no rural service. Some of the wires
are encrusted with ice an inch thick.
The wireless station in the Dun
lap iewelry store is entirely out OF
commission. One of the guy wires
which held the metal pole erect on
top of the building broke Sunday
night about $3.50 o'clock and the
metal pole is bent over at right an
giles.
The rest room was comfortably
filed with women yesterday who are
employed down town and VINO
brought lunches to eat in that COM
Portable new resting place. Cocoa
was made by the aid Of the hot
point electric heating apparatus and
the room presented the aspect moi
Of a social function than anything
else.
Such day is hard on the deliv-
cry boys and the coal team drivers
who are about the only drivers ont.
