American and Mexican troops and
 leads the way for a friendly adjust
 ment of any difficulties that may come
 up in the future. By it's terms the
 evacuation of American troops from
 Mexican territory will be gradual,
 with no time limit to hasten their leave taking, and with the understand ing that they arc to have full CO., operation of the Carranzistas in hunt ing down any bandits in Northern Mexico. This insures protection to
 the American border towns and at the same time leaves our troops plenty
 of leaway to chase Villas gang
 One glance beneath the surface of things shows that all this is indeed d real triumph. It requires but little reflection to show that ever since
 the day our troopers went over the border there was ever present
 the danger of American inter- vention in Mexico, something that
 meant long drawn-out warfare, with
 the loss of American soldiers and
 the worry and fretting of the
 populace. Except in one instance,
 at Parrel the American troops
 have not been harrassed in their
 pursuit of Villa. The de facto gov-
 ernment then promptly disavowed any
 intention of hindrance. When it is
 taken into consideration that the
 American soldiers have been cam-
 paigning in the mountain passes of
 Mexico for almost two months, shoot
 ing and killing off bandits here and
 there, it is surprising that a more
 serious uprising of the Mexicans has not been encountered. It all goes to show that the American officers have convinced the thinking class in that rebel ridden country that the United States is not looking for spells, is not making an attempt to seize any ter ritory south of the Rio Grande, but is on a sincere and honest mission,- the protection of American life and property.
 Our state department has acted wisely in granting certain concessions to General Carranza. The old man is in a peculiar position and must save his face with the people of the coun- try over which he presides. When he 1 asked for reciprocal permission to | send troops over the American border | in pursuit of bandits, it meant noth- | ing to us; but 1t carried all the inn | By acquiescing, the American govern | met pinned a rose on the lapel of the l General and decorated him in the eyes < of his people. Otherwise his prestige l chance for a break came when Car l ranza demanded for political reasons, | that the American troops be taken 1 out of Mexico, since the object of l their invasion had been accomplished. ] It required no little skill to smooth 1 over the situation at that point Now seems in a fair way to be brought to a glorious end, with the re- aUOnS between tne two COuntTleS placed on a more even keel. Car 'anza will probably follow the course of President Wilson and approve of he agreement between General Scott l and General Obregon. In due time, when it is fully established that Villa has been put to death, or when he is captured, if he still lives, the Ameri- can soldiers will come back across the border and the whole affair ended.

BOY HURT IN RUNAWAY
Verne belong Thrown From Buggy
on R.R. Track

Verne belong, a student of the To-
cal high school, whose home is south
west of the city, was painfully in
jured last evening in a runaway &C
cident. Young belong was driving
home from school or First avenue
west, when his horse became fright
ened, and started running down the
c., B. & Q. tracks. belong was
thrown out of the buggy and struck
his head upon a rail. The forehead
was badly bruised, an elbow wrenched
and arms and hands scratched and
bruised.
The boy was taken to the Oska-
loosa Hospital, in an unconscious
condition, but soon after arriving
there, he regained consciousness
Just how bad he has been injured is
not fully determined, the examination
failing to reveal internal injuries.
Few saw the accident, and are able
to tell just what happened. That
the boy was not more seriously in
jured is remarkable, for the force
with which he was thrown against
the rail was terrific 1t is said that
the horse stepped on him in passing,
but no bruises have been found on
the person

SEWERS And FLOODS
Lengthy Discussions are INDUCED
in by City Council

! OsEaloosa city council had a long
| drawn out session Monday evening
the second regular of the month, and
the greater part of the time was spent
in caucus, adjourned from the council
chamber and behind closed doors, to
consider the status of the work on
the septic tank, sewage disposal plant
and sewer extension northeast of the
city. The contractor had asked for
a statement Of work completed, esti-
mated, and city engineer Horace
Hawkins did not desire to give this
unless so ordered by council resolu-
ton or instruction. Both Messrs.
Hawkins and the contractors agent,
M. Tibbetts, were called into the
committee room for consultation. The
statement was authorized as desired
by Nj. Tibbetts.

effort to secure relief for the place,
but thus far has not been able to OBJ

Ottumwa, Oct. II. - Although he
has been appealing. through all the
channels of the United States depart

months, Edward D. Mattison, wealthy
Minneapolis broker, has finally had
to come to the Wapello county Jail
to serve the three months sentence

Mattison and his wife arrived so
that he might begin his time today.
Mrs. Madison will remain in Ottum-

1t was on April 4, 1916. that Acting
Judge Thomas c. Munger gave Mat.
tison a three months sentence and a
fine, of $500. The money has long
ago been paid. 1t was the Jail SEN
tence that the defendant tried to side
step. His attorney, Judge William
Macon of Chicago, has been here
many times during the past half year
trying to make some arrangements
for his client to be released. An
appeal even went to U. S. Attorney
General Gregory. But the efforts
were in vain and on the courts order
he is in Jail.
