FOR USE OF ALL WHO DESIRE.
A Good Thing on Account Of Unset
tied Condition Of Water
in River.

| At meeting of the park commits
sion Friday night, 1t was decided
that Son account of the unsettled
condition of the water in Boone riv-
er, which for, the past two years has
lduring the summer months been in q
muddy and turbid condition due to
frequent rains, permanent swim
ming tank. will be erected in Noko.
mis- park for the use Of all who de-
lsire.
Experienced swimmers may use
1.-THE strong current Of the river for a
swimming pool but women or chill
dren are in. danger in the waters OF
1.-THE river when 1t remains so high.
For this purpose the park commits
sion, with the need of the public at
heart, has decided upon the above
course.
The low swale existing in the park
| just north of the middle section has
lbeen selected for the location of the
tank. which will be of cement
construction with bottom cover
ed with sand. AS the work
proceeds it will readily be ascertain
ed whether or not clay may be struck
during the excavation, for il the
commission Is SO fortunate as to find
clay. this will be used instead OF
concrete as a foundation of the pool
with sand on the bottom.
The dimensions OF the swimming
tank will be about so feet by $50 in
length with the depth varying from
1 foot to feet. II is the plan to
have running water through the
tank, furnished either from the riv-
er, or by pumping system. Work
will begin at once, or just as soon as
men and teams can be secured for the
work of excavation.
A swimming pool has been needed
| in the city for long time. Young
hoys will swim and the uncertain
current of the river, which has been
| high for so long time, has made
swimming for young boys a danger

lin no wise change TIE plans for "a
dam across the river, which will al
so make good boating point, as
well as an excellent place for aquatic

Rev. Nanngeopa, Strange Crusader
for Christ, Arrives in Webster
City From the East on
Foot.
TRAVELLED ALL OVER WORLD.
Found ON Island Of Mauritius During
Fearful Yellow Fever
scourge.

A strange and unusual Crusader
of Christ arrived on foot In the city
on Saturday from the east, having
travelled in this manner all over the
earth, claiming up to date the great
lumber of 112,202 miles. His name
is as strange as his pilgrimage
Rev. Harrabellio Aleckamousa Mar
angeopa-and his home is--the
world. From here he will continue
his pilgrimage west.
y Rev. Marangeopa is Malay mis-
sionary who has chosen this unique
method as the best way for the
spreading of the gospel throughout
the world. A Malay by birth, Euro
peanized by education, this mission
ary is by reason of his travels as cos
mopolitan as one Of his calling
should be.
He has taken literally the mean
ing of the words, go We therefore
into all the earth, preaching the gos-
pei to every people," and with the
Scriptural injunction as his slogan,
he has obeyed.
Possibly few who bear the honored
title of missionary" are better
equipped than this man, who has q
speaking knowledge OF twenty-seven
different languages and dialects
with the exception of Russian, rep
resenting the tongues of lands he has
visited. The Russian language, he
admits, was too much for him.
Fatherless. motherless, nameless,
he was found by the Sisters Of Mercy
on the west side of the island, Maur-
titus, in 1871, the year Of the fear
full plague of yellow fever upon
this island. Then an infant he was
found wailing among the dead bodies
of fourteen of his relatives who had
undoubtedly succumbed to swift
death by the fever. One month lat
er he was taken to Manchester. Eng
land, by Hon. Joseph e. Widger. who
saw to it that the small orphan boy
at the proper age was put through
the public schools of that city, later
finishing the four years course in
theology in Hulme College and grad.

what was coming and literally went
up into the air when. as the gun was
fired for the last lap, Porter was six
lty yards in the rear with twelve rum
lners ahead OF him. Slowly but sure-
Nv he passed one after tho other Of
these and made the goal in Won
derful burst OF speed which was one
Of the most spectacular things Of the
day! The audience went wild with
enthusiasm. The beautiful big sill
yer cup Porter brought home with
him is today on display in the OPP
penheimer & Bermann window
where all the other trophies won by
the Webster City high school are
displayed.
Greenwood last year won fifth
place in discus throw and Saturday
brought his record up to third place.
First place; in the United States is
still held by Gilman of Urbana, Ill,
who has held the place for q few
years. The fact, however. that
Greenwood brought his previous rec
ord up. is presaging enough for fut-
|ure work in that line. Greenwood
will hold first place in the United
States In another year or two. is, the
