pleased to know that he has secured
q very desirable position.
HIS NERVE FAILED HIM.
Yesterday Henry Fink, the Des
Moines street blacksmith, appeared
before Justice Biggs and said he
wanted to swear out search war
rant against the residence occupied
by City Attorney Chauncey Weaver,
as he believed the festive and offic-
ious Chauncey was engaged In the
nefarious though profitable business
OF ''bootlegging" and il there is any
thing on earth which Henry despis-
es, it is a bootlegger! But when
Squire Biggs had filled out the blank
warrant and told Henry to subscribe
his name and swear to it, the would
lbe refcrmer lost his nerve, went out
for fresh air and hasn't returned yet
I This was a narrow escape for Chaun-
cey. but being forewarned is fore.
armed, and he now probably has his
tanglefoot beyond the reach OF such
Jealous temperance workers as Mr.
Fink. E
| J. r. White has bought the home
on Boone street, known as the A. II
Counts residence, and will take pos
session on April 1st.
Rev. c. p Boardman prefaced hi!

When the Paper is Late.

Had you been in the Freeman
Tribune Office Tuesday evening from
about SIS to 5:45 You would have
realized that Freeman-Tribune read
ers want their daily paper on time.
One of the carrier boys, of course
from no fault of his, was retained
after school until 5:45 and conse-
uuently did not get started upon his
paper route until that time. He de-
liyers lO2 papers and at 5:15 the Of
flee telephone began to jingle in re-
sponse to calls from subscribers who
wanted to know why the paper
hadn't been delivered. By actual
county forty-three out of the 102
subscribers telephoned the office and
lodged complaints. That is Just
what we want them to do when they
fail to get the paper on time. we
have eleven carrier boys and you
can imagine what a Juror 1t woulc
kick ur all over town were they al
detained at school at the same time

1t is held by some that President
Wilson'S army plans would, if car

is reported from Des Moines that in
the opinion of Adjutant General Lo-
gan that if the continental army
bill is passed in its present form
without provision for federal pay
for the national guard and altering
the status of the guard with respect
to national service-the national
guard will be killed. This" says

Gets Editor in BAD.

Dannebrog (Neb.) News: An edi-
tor up in the northeastern part Of
the state is in bad on account of the
writeup Of wedding. The bride
groom was named Gum and his
father Abram Gum. The girls name
was Smith. The editor turned in
the copy to the Office boy the last
thing before going to press, then
hurried to the train to be gone two
days. When the paper was printed
the article was headed S"Gunn
Smith" and went on to say that the
bride was arrayed in a dress OF
white mule" instead of white null
and she carried a large nose" The
editor wrote that the groom was a
we'll liked son of A. Gum, and the
boy set it up, THE groom is wall
eyed son of gum" The editor has
never been able to square 1t with
the Gums and Smiths and all OF
them quit taking the paper.

Ten or eleven years ago there was

pecial interest has been taken in
this class of improvements for the

them to the loyal support of all.
Catalogs of band instruments
have been sent for and all necessary
equipment will be secured as soon
as possible. Each member of the
band will furnish his own instru-
ment, thus assuring a more active
interest. taken than if the instru-
ments were, owned by the organiza-
! ton and to be used by anyone who
might want to take part, only to
drop out at time that would Grip

We plead not Guilty.

Stanhope Enterprise: We under
stand that certain newspaper in
Hamilton county circulating in this
vicinity is making a 25 cent rate
to agents to secure new subscribers.
We don't care what the object is, II
is not fair to other papers. While
we are on the subject we want to
say that publisher of newspaper
entering the territory of another pa
per, and by quoting rates and other
means, seeks to take away the bust
ness that rightfully belongs to the
contemporary, is not fair or honest.
One paper has as much right to ex-
list as another and ought to have eX-
elusive right to its own territory.

George Visits Chicago.

Woodstock Eagle: George Strever
was in the Windy City with stock
last week and when he returned he
looked something like jeff did when
Johnson got through with him. To
some of his friends he said in con-
fidence that he supposed if he said
he was from Iowa that the Chicago
thugs would think he was Frank
Gotch and forget they wanted his
roll and hit for the tall and uncut.
To others he is alleged to have said
that he ran into the business end OF
refractory steer and got severely
kicked. Others report that George
told them in all seriousness that an
electric sign fell on him. Georges
friends all swear that as far as ap-
pearances go they can readily be-
lieve that all of these catastrophes
happened to him.

Hands off the Vacuum Trap.

The Central Heating company
wants to inform its patrons that
they must not interfere with the
vacuum traps on the end OF radia-
tors. Some heat users have been do
ing this. They have unscrewed the
vacuum trap in the expectation OF
getting more heat, not having
enough radiation to warm the rooms
in this severe cold weather. But
when one of these vacuum traps is
opened it Immediately disarranges
the entire system and the engineer
at the boiler room at once knows
that one of the traps is open. 1t let's

Continuing the dispatch says:
His statement lends color to the re-
ports current in national guard cir
cles all over the state, that the gov
ernor will be asked to muster out
the national guard if the continental
army billgis passed. General Logan
refused to state whether he would
make such a recommendation, but
he did say:
Personally, can see no object
in maintaining the national guard if
the Garrison plan goes through"
The Iowa National Guard is ready
for national service of any kind, on
instant notice.
''''The entire brigade can be mob
ilized in Des-rMoines in twenty-four
hours, or if there is need of greater
haste, I can mobilize them by regi-
mentA in eight hours, ready to leave
the state" rIs

Logan continued, lis in the same
state of unpreparedness that exist
ed in 1898. The Iowa National Guard
was modified in Des Moines on the
day following the declaration of war
against Spain, and there it stayed
for weeks, awaiting orders from the
war department" Fra
General Logan explained his plan
for mobilizing the guard in eight
hours. He would mobilize the infan-
try regiments in Fort Dodge, Des
Moines and either. Dubuque or Ce-
