John Kelly is Knocked Down by
Northwestern Engine on Des
Moines Street.

John Kelly, prominent ant
wealthy farmer for many years re-
siding near Duncombe, now resi-.
dent of this city, was the unfortun.
ate victim Of an accident which oc.
Cured about II o'clock Saturday a.
m. in the vicinity of the Des Moines
street crossing of the Chicago &
Northwestern tracks. Mr.. Kelly is
an elderly gentleman and totally
deaf, his inability to hear probably
being the cause of the accident
which resulted in his attempt to
cross the tracks at this point.
A box car which was standing on
one track obscured the view of the
other track on which an engine was
switching, with the result that Mr..
Kelly was knocked down by the en-
gine striking him in such manner
as to break both bones in the left
forearm and at least ono or more
ribs. H. F. Strachan, agent for the
c. & N. w. here, assisted the injur-
ed man to the Des Moines street
news stand, where the railroad ply
sician, DR.. F. e. Whitley, and DR..
T. F. Desmond were called. Mr.. Kel-
ly was at once taken to the latter's
home on Elm street.
Mr.. Kelly is a brother Of Mrs.
John Hanrahan and an uncle of
Mrs. Desmond.

REST ROOM COM
M|1TEE IS CHOSEN
At Meeting Of Woman's Christian
Temperance Union Matter is
Decided.

At a meeting of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union on
Thursday afternoon the manage
ment Of the Webster City rest room
was formally taken over by the w.
C. T. U. The fact that this organ
ization first made active solicitation
among the merchants Of the city for
funds for it's support, It is meet
that the work should now revert to
the union. After due consideration
of the project and in view of the
fact that w. c. Pyle has undertaken
to raise money enough among the
citizens Of the town for the rooms
support, the ladies decided to recon-
mend rest room committee con-
sisting of Mesdames Alexander
Groves and w. j. Zitterell and
Messrs. Arch Foster and w. G. Pyle.
With the exception OF Mr.. Pyle, the
parties named served upon the old
rest room committee during the past
two years.
The committee at once appoint
ed Mrs. ]. c. Robson for the COM
ing year as matron of the rest room.
Mrs. Robson has served splendidly
as the matron of the room and has
done much which comes outside the
scope of, her official duties.
It has been thought advisable to
ask for donation Of $50 in one dol-
lar amounts from the women of the
city-or the men-if they care to
give Hundreds of women have us
ed the room and been grateful for
it during its existence. One dollar
from each is not q large amount and
will be gratefully received with due
credit for the, same. either by one
I the committee, Or ~ the matron
Of the room. Any bank in the city
will be glad to receive the one doll
lar or fifty dollars II it can be given.
Each day the amount received will
be announced.

Farm Sale Advertising.

A recent issue of the Jefferson,
Ia, Bee, contained total Of $40
inches of farm sale advertising, the
largest amount Of this class of ad-
vertising ever published in any Iowa
newspaper. The Glidden Graphic
says in commenting on the above
fact:
"The progressive farmers Of that
district are learning the value of
printers ink In telling the pros
pective buyer about their sales. The
time was but few years ago when
a farmer thought he was getting ex-
travagant II he spent 81 for news
paper space for his public sale be-
sides the usual 100 bills. Now he
considers the bills worth little and
realizes that from $40 to $40 spent
on newspapers is one Of the best in
vestments he can make. One extra
bidder at his sale often pays the
bill several times over"

of Interest to Mauy,

Interesting news to those working

LARGE AUDIENCE
. HEARS DR.. SHATTUCK
Advance Man for Bromley Cam.
paign Delivers Sermon at Con.
gregational Church.

A large audience attended the
union meeting at the Congregation.
al church Sunday afternoon. DR.
B. H. Shattuck, who precedes the
Bromley party in their evangelistit
campaigns, delivered a simple but
effective sermon and the service in
its entirety was an interesting one.
Many supposed that Rev. Shattuck
would give his auditors talk on
1.-THE methods and work contemplated
in this city by Evangelist Bromley
and his helpers, or a description of
the big meeting they are now carry
ing on at Bay City, Mich, but the
speaker evidently thought an evan
|gelistic, sermon was more appropri-
ate for the occasion, as only meager
reference was made by him to these
subjects.
Some one has said that the most
interesting thing in sermon is the
man behind it. However that may
be, little personal reference to Rev.
Shattuck and his work will no doubt
be read with interest by the people
Of this community. Mr.. Shattuck
began his public career as slum
worker and student of sociology in
the great cities. Later he spent
some time among the miners, moon
sinners and feudists Of the Virginia
mountains. He was prominent in
the six years fight to make West
Virginia dry, and was secretary of
the west Virginia delegation in the
committee of one thousand which
journeyed to Washington to ask for
the National Amendment. When
the Ohio fight was on, he was call
Cd to COncinnati and addressed both
OF the great audiences gathered TO
hear w. ]. Bryan. In West Virginia
DR.. shadduck is best known az the
person who visited the hidden dives
Of the capital city in disguise, prov
ed they were there and demanded a
clean up. The mayor, insisting that
the police were helpless, offered DR..
Shadduck the job Of police chief and
when the preacher accepted, the pol
iticians forced the mayor to back
down and clean up the city rather
than be shown up by a preacher.
Two union prayer meetings will
be held during this week and both
will be led by DR.. Shaddrck. The
first one will be in the United Breth-
rem church this evening, and
the second one in the Baptist church
evening. These meetings
will begin at 1880 and everybody
|s cordially invited.

new PROVIDENCE.
WINS FOOTBALL GAME
Visitiag Team Defeats Local High
School by Score Of
Il to 0.

The Webster City high school foot
ball eleven met their second defeat
Of the season Saturday afternoon at
Riverside park, the victorious squad
being the visiting eleven from New
Providence. The local eleven was
heavily out-weighed by the visitors
and in addition proved unable to
cope with the simple plays and for
nations which were displayed by
the invading aggregation.
The first half resulted in score
less tie, neither side being able to
advance the ball for anything like
consistent gains. During the third
quarter, however, beautiful for
ward pass thrown on the fourth
down enabled New Providence to
dash across the goal for the first
tally. From this time on, Webster
City's line slowly but surely crum-
bled and second touchdown was
added shortly before the final
whistle.
ironing for Webster City was far
and away the star of the game on
either side. The Webster City team
was gaining consistently during the
third quarter until Gus was fore
ed to retire from the scene Of con-
fiict.
The next two games are away
from home, next Saturdays contest
being at Humboldt. The next local
game is scheduled for November 14th
with Eldora.
