IMPROVING THE
C|TYS POPULATION
Jim 1nman, Angered at the Laws
Demands, Takes Himself to
the Capital City.

| One Jim Inman made a voyage on
Saturday to Fort Dodge where the
brand of whiskey is infinitely better
than any which might be obtained
in Waterloo, Des Moines, or else
where, for it makes man entirely
forget all his cares and tribulations.
One thing it does not do, however,
that is-it does not keep him out Of
trouble, for as soon as he returned,
to Webster City, he was arrested for
being drunk, intoxicated and under
the direct influence of liquor.
This being the case, he was plac-
ed in duress vile, there to suffer the
slings and arrows of an outrageous
fortune until evening, at which
time he besought Justice Tucker for
an interview. The justice, being of
an unusually obliging disposition to
all guests entertained at the city's
expense, made him call. Upon fur
ther request, the trial was held at
once and the fine of SIS given. Up
on the payment of the fine, Mr.. In
man spoke almost scathingly of
Webster City and vicinity. even
threatening to shake the dust of the
streets from his feet and leave for
more congenial surroundings-even
Des Moines.
Accordingly he left for Des Moines
on the night train and unless he suf-
fers like reception there, will un-
doubtedly make that city his future
home. Mr.. Inman had been employ
ed in the country near this city
working upon ditch and everything
had gone smoothly until Saturday.

SENIORS WIN The
Big CLASS HUIhT
Junior Glass Never Been Successful
in the Hunt in High Schools
History.

One of the biggest annual affair.
of the school year was pulled of BY
the Junior and Senior classes of the
Webster City high school Friday
when the class hunt took place. New.
er in the history of the schools ha,
the Junior class found all of the hid
den Seniors and history repeated it.
self Friday night. The class was d.
vided into groups all of them hidden
between Division and Boone streets
and Wilson avenue and Prospect
streets.
Finally, after one group of the
Seniors had been traced to their hid
ing place, the hunt was declared of
and one hundred and three students,
forming the two upper classes,
marched in snake dance fashion from
the high school building down Des
Moines street to the Vienna restaur-
ant where the losers banqueted the
other class. The high school faculty
was also an honored addition to the
feast.
The Vienna Cafe was elaborately
decorated for the occasion with the
high school colors of purple and gold.
Golden rod and wild sumac leaves
were used in profusion about the
cafe and two long tables were glist-
ening in white and silver for the
student body, while the faculty oc-
cupied the side "Pullmans'' which
were also tastefully decorated. A
dainty two course oyster supper was
served. At the close of the banquet
the senior class president Ben Brett
enkamp was called upon for a
speech, but instead, directed the stu
dents in the singing Of number Of
high school songs. After these and
the vociferous giving Of many yells,
the classes dispersed having expert
enced one of the most delightful of
many such meetings.

RECEIVES s100
FOR A HUNTING DOG
Dr.. R. W. Pote Disposes of One Of
Finest Pointers to Texas
Gentleman.

DR.. R. w. Pote has sold one of
his fine hunting dogs, handsome
animal three years old, to H. P. Lath-
rop of Talacois, Tex, for the sum of
500. This is fancy price for
hunting dog and naturally the doc
tor feels that he made a good bar
gain. Mr.. Lathrop had the dog last
spring training her for field work
and the above transaction was the
result of his several months work
with the animal.
The dog has pedigree several
yards long and is considered one of
the blue-bloods of the, hunting dog
race.

IOWA GUARD IA MAY Be
BACK NOVEMBER |.
Gen. Guy E. Logan Recommends
That They be Returned to
Fort Des Moines.

Des Moines, Sept. 23.-Capt. c. B
Robbins of Cedar Rapids, who was ii
Des Moines Friday to consult Adjt
Gen. Guy E. Logan, while on his wa!
home from Brownsville on a thirt!
day furlough, declared that in hi
opinion none of the Iowa troops viii
be sent home before Nov. l..
Adjutant General Logan yesterday
made a recommendation to the wal
department that the Iowa regiments
be sent back to Fort Des Moines in
stead of Camp Dodge, when the time
for mastering out arrives.
The use of Fort Des Moines is fav.
ored as the soldiers will be able tc
use the steam heated barracks in.
stead Of being forced to camp in
tents at Camp Dodge. AS the regi-
ments will be moved from Texas
where the temperature is high, to
Iowa where the winter weather is
more severe, the military department
feels that a tent camp would result
in serious effects on the men. Many
soldiers might contract pneumonia
and some deaths might follow, the
officers say.
1--WE have been hoping that some
of the Iowa regiments would be sent
back home under the recent order of
the war department" said Captain
Robbins. '"The new rule is that for
every new regiment which reaches
the border. one of the regiments
there now, shall be sent home. We
have noticed that SO far the regi-
ments which arrived at the border
first. are being sent home first.
"The Iowa regiments were not
among the frst to reach the border.
Unless the department. departs from
the plan which apparently is being
followed the Iowa men may not get
back home under this order.
we udu Uccu uOplA6 hIuoI lAC
government would begin gradually
withdrawing national guard regi-
ments from Texas. However, there
have recently been some disturban-
ces in Mexico and "the military men
are wondering whether the border
guard will be lessened to any great
extent until it is quiet again beyond
the border.
eve exchange shots quite often
with Mexicans across the Rio Gran
de. Every once in a while Mexi-
can will hide along the opposite
bank and open fire on a sentry. We
have instructions to fire back and we
do it. So far no one has been hurt
on our side. Park Findley of Des
Moines recently took several shots at
a Mexican who opened fire on him."

ANOTHER V|ADUCT
ACCIDENT OCCURS
- e
Cedar Falls Auto Crashes Into Rail.
ing on Bridge in Northwest
/ Part of Town.

Y AS Mr.. and Mrs. o. J. Grau and
daughter, Miss Christine, were mo-
toring into Webster City Friday
en- route from Storm Lake and New
ell to their home in Cedar Falls, they
had an accident. Mr.. Grau, who was
driving big Buick, in going up the
short turn to the viaduct over the
Illinois Central in the northwest part
of town, crashed into the bridge rail-
ing, damaging the car considerably.
The radiator, tenders and lights
were badly demolished. None of the
occupants Of the auto were injured.
The car was left at garage here for
repairs and as this will take some
time, the family went on home by
train. The railing on the viaduct has
been considerably strengthened
since previous accident there not
long ago, otherwise these parties
might have broken it loose and
plunged off the bridge.
There certainly ought to be some
thing done to improve conditions at
this point. There have been quite a
number Of accidents there, enough to
establish the fact beyond peradven-
ture that it is the most dangerous
place for drivers in this vicinity. OF
course drivers who are familiar with
the situation are in little danger of
accidents, but strangers coming in
to the city from the west are threat
ened with serious injury and possi
BILE death.

WHAT ABOUT A new
SCHOOL BUILDING?
People Of Webster City Ought to be
Giving Careful Attention to,
This Question.

1t has been quite evident for q
year or two to people who have TAX
en- the trouble to inquire into the
school situation in Webster City
that it is matter of but a short
time until this district must erect a
new school building. The schools
are now overcrowded and many OF
the teachers have more scholars than
they can successfully handle. This
is not economy and is very unsatis-
factory from every right point of
view. When the high school build
ing was erected several years ago
the mistake was made of not look
ing far enough into the future. In
stead Of expending $4,000 at that
time the district should have put up
a structure worth at least $150,00O.
Had this been done the school build
ing problem in Webster City would
have been settled for at least fifteen
or twenty years. It can never be
settled permanently as long as the
town continues to grow and we all
want the town to keep right on in
creasing in size and Importance.
The Freeman-Tribune is heartily
in favor of a new school building,
but is just as heartily opposed to
any improvement worth less than at
least 100000, and believes the
district would be justified in erecting
one worth from $150,0O0 to $780,
900. Our schools are now costing
us approximately $4,000 year, but
they are worth every cent of it, and
more. The Freeman-Tribune is not
disposed to seriously consider the
cost, SO long as the money is needed
and is judiciously expended. Not
penny should be wasted. 1t is the
waste and needless expense at which
taxpayers complain.
The way to build permanent i'm
provements of this character is to
raise large share of the funds by
bonds. The money can be secured at
approximately per cent, thus inter-
est on school building worth $780,
900 would cost the district $4,000.
Then there should be sinking fund
created to take care of the bonds
when the building is worn out. In this
way the taxpayers each year would
bear their proportionate share of the
burden and they should bear no
more, no less.
Let the people of the district talk
the matter over and be prepared to
vote upon the question of bond is
sue at the next school election next
spring. The Freeman Tribune hopes
the mistake of building structure
not large enough will not be repeat
ed. Nothing less than 100000
should be considered, and an expen-
diture OF 100000, If that amount
seems necessary, need not frighten
