Chris Ottosen Here.

Chris Ottosen of Humboldt county
arrived in the city today to renew
old acquaintance and make new
ones. Mr.. Ottosen is a candidate for
congress to succeed the Hon. Frank
P. Woods and is well pleased with
the outlook. He says the people OF
the district, or many Of them, be-
lieve it is time to give new man a
chance and he feels that this element
is now in the majority. The one
regret that he has, is that he didn't
get into the contest sooner, but he
and his friends were expecting eth
er Senator Larrabee Of Fort Dodge
or Senator Chase of this city to be
a candidate. If Mr.. Ottosen had
time to make thorough canvass Of
the district there would be no ques-
tion of his nomination, Is the judg-
ment of his friends, many of whom
believe he will win any way.

A Phase of Modern Efficiency.

A. E. Welch, travelling salesman,
in conference here recently with
Young & Clifton, =, distributors of
"Certain-teed" products, had this to
say of advertising: "It is a phase
of modern efficiency. 1t adds to the
buyers information. He is the one
most benefited. 1t suggests to him
things of use, comfort, convenience
or pleasure. At a glance he can tell
If the things fit his needs or wishes.
A second glance tells him where they
are to be had. His time, his efforts
and his money are thus saved. He
is a more efficient buyer. Every
buyer-and everybody is buyer
should read informative advertising,
because it pays. Mr.. Welch's house,
the General Roofing Mfg. Co., is one
of the large national advertisers.
That it has paid them is we'll evil
denced by the fact that out of every
five rolls Of roofing sold, they claim
one is "Certain-teed." .,.-

& THE DECLAMATORY CONTEST.
The evening was devoted to The
presentation of medals to the victor
ious athletes, and to the annual de.
|clamatory contest of the association
In this event, each school is allowed
one representative, the different
speakers. being divided into three
classes -oratorical. dramatic, and
humorous--according to the nature
|of the reading. The winner of first
place in each class is awarded gold
medal.
Miss Maud Melvin, representing
Webster City, read humorous Sc
lection entitled '"The Patterson
Twins and Jakey." Miss Melvin won
second place in the local contest last
fall, and this was her first appear
ance in interscholastic work. From
beginning to end, her presentation
was of a finished nature which held
the audience completely, her por-
trayal of the five varying characters
in the selection being worthy OF a
much more experienced speaker. The
decision of the judges, which accord
ed her the gold medal, met with
general approval, although the rep
resentatiye from Mason City was a
close second. Eagle Grove and Fort
Dodge finished third and fourth re-
spectfully in this division.
Miss Melvin is Freshman and
has three more years of contest work
before her, which gives much prom
Use for the future.
Miss Melvin's trainer has been
Mrs. d. c. Chase, Jr., and the vic
tory OF Saturday evening is one
which also gives much credit to Mrs.
Chase for efficient coaching.
The judges of the declamatory
contest were Supt. E. w. Goetsch of
Spencer, Supt. o. S. Won Krog of En-
metsburg, and Prof j. Roy Struble
of Charles City.

west of Webster City, which occur
red at Phoenix, Arizona, Sunday
Mr.. Neese, in company with his wife
and a trained nurse-Miss Ruth
Conklin-left this city four weeks
ago for Phoenix, hoping that the cli-
mate might restore him to health,
but the change did not work the de-
sired effect.
The deceased has been in poor
health for about one year and last
December was taken much worse. In
January he was taken to Chicago
where an operation was performed
in an attempt to save his life. Here
he remained four weeks and was
brought home only to show no inn
provement in his condition. Later
he was taken to Arizona but the ef-
fort to stay the ravages of the dis
ease proved useless. tuberculosis OF
the bowels was the direct cause OF
his death.
Mr.. Neese was about forty-twO
years of age. He leaves a wife and
an adopted son, the latter about fif-
teen years old, to mourn his demise
The remains, accompanied by the
wife and Miss Conklin, will arrive
in this city on Wednesday, having
started on their long journey Sunday
night.

IN ELREN0, OKLAHOMA
Pioneer Settler Of Hamilton County
Passes Away at Age Of
Eighty.Seven.

w. H. VanNess, pioneer settler
of Hamilton county who went to Ell
reno, OKLA, to live four years ago,
died Friday night after short ill
ness caused from his advanced years
he was eighty-seven. His daugh-
ter, Mrs. q. S. Talcott Of Williams,
and son, Ned VanNess, a lawyer in
Algona, were summoned to his bed
side but did not arrive until after he
had passed away.
Mr.. VanNess was well educated
man and lived on farm in Rose
Grove township for many years. Fol-
lowing the death of his wife, many
years ago, he left the farm and made
his home with his daughter, Mrs.
Ta1cott and family, on another farm
south Of Williams. In an early day
Mr.. VanNess crossed the plains to
California. At that time there
wasn't single residence between st.
Joseph, Mo-, and Salt Lake City. He
remained in California for about
eight years and at the breaking out
of the civil war enlisted in the Union
army and served faithfully till the
end of the conflict. While in the
service he received a serious wound
on one of his hands. He settled near
Williams some time after the war.
A rare collection of Indian wear
ing apparel, beads, ETC.. was given
the Kendall Young library by Mr.
Van Ness over ten years ago. This
which is kept in one OF
the cases in the children's room at ,
the library, was made by Mr.. Van
Ness in the early days and some OF
the articles date back to very early
Indian times.
Z For many years W. H. VanNess
was one Of the leading men Of the
community in which he lived. He
was an advanced thinker and active
in all movements for the advance
ment and betterment of his fellow
men. He was man of clean char
acter and high ideals and was liv-
ing encyclopaedia Of the times and
through which he pass
ed. 1t was genuine pleasure to
listen to Mr.. VanNess tell of his
Journey across the western plains
and to recount the many and varied
he had in the pioneer
lays. He was an ideal citizen, faith
,r and husband and measured up to
he full stature of man in all the
'elations Of life. His was a we'll
spent life and he leaves a record
hat is precious heritage to those
eft to mourn his taking away.
