OLD WATER TANK IS
REALLY COMING DOWN
North Siders Breathe Sigh Of Relief
Central to Erect New
Water Tank.

After years Of arguing and per-
suadng on the part of residents OF
the north side, the Illinois Central
is finally preparing to tear down the
unsightly water tank that has so
long INSTRUCTED the view of resi-
dents of north Des Moines street. All
the material has arrived for the con-
struction of the large new steel wat
er tank which will be erected Ito
feet west of the present structure. AS
soon as the other tank is completed
the old, one will be torn down. The
new structure will be similar to the
city tank. An underground pipe will
extend from the new tank to the
place now occupied by the old water
tank where a penstock will be erect
ed for the convenience of east bound
trains. A penstock will also be
erected near the new tank for the
convenience of west bound trains.
Workmen will begin the building of
the new steel structure at once.

Justice Renders Decision.

Justice Biernatzki this morning
rendered his decision in the perplex-
ing love affair whose tangled skeins
two young bachelor attorneys of the
city have, for two days been trying to
unravel with but little success. All
details of the affair having been
dwelt upon at length in yesterdays
Freeman-Tribpne, it is only neces-
sary to state that by decision of the
court, the young woman in the case
is allowed to retain all jewelry and
gifts given to her by her one-time
fiance, who has since married anoth-
er girl. This is no doubt perfectly
satisfactory to everybody concerned
with the exception of the young
man who brought action against the
young woman for the return of the
gifts.

SCHOOL BOARD INAUCU-

near Manson, had for the past three
years been operating a farm near
that place belonging to E. E. Valen-
tine and was valued and trusted
manager of the farm. Mr.. Schertz
leaves wife and nine children to
mourn his demise. Miss Schertz has
not yet returned from Manson where
she was called the afternoon of her
fathers death. The Manson DEM
ocrat says of the accident:
''Mr. Schertz had rented the AL
bert Wentd farm, five miles south Of
town for next year and had gone
there to do some blowing, when the
heavy rain came up and he sought
shelter in the barn. He and Fred
Perth were standing in the open
door when the flash of lightning
came which caused the instant
death of Mr.. Schertz. Medical aid
was summoned at once, but life was
extinct"

Jitnevs to Fight,

Fort Dodge, Oct. Sort Dodge
jitney bus drivers will contest the
recent jitney bus ordinance which
was passed by the city council a
short time ago. This announcement
was made by local jitney men last
Saturday when asked if the new or
dinance had gone into effect yet.
An interview with several of the
Fort Dodge jitney drivers reveals the
fact that they are in favor of the
bond clause in the new ordinance,
and that they will recognize the IL
cense fee.
''But we do not want the city to
tell us where we can run and where
we cannot rum" said one man.
The jitney bus men believe that
they have as much right to run as
the takes have and that they should
be allowed to run in districts rather
than on scheduled streets. If the
city demands that the schedule clause
be enforced jitney men say that they
will turn their jitney bus lines into
taxi lines and carry passengers for
the same fee that they are charging
now.

.|NFANT|LE PARAL.-
YS|S NORTH OF
THE CITY AGAIN
Six Year Old Child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bert Lee, in Cass Center Dis
trict, Has Disease.

The fourth case of infantile par
alysis known to exist in Hamilton
county is located on the Bailey farm
near Cass Center church. The six
and half year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Bert Lee has the disease in
mild form, only the face being af-
fected. The child has been i'll for a
week, the illness starting with what
seemed to be an attack sof bowel
trouble. Her condition is improving
in a satisfactory manner and the
White Fox school, which the child
attended, has been closed and fun
igated.
The condition Of Lorene Marvel,
one of the twin daughters of Col.
and Mrs. c. w. Marvel, is today
about as yesterday. The little girl
seems to be holding her own and the
paralysis has at least not extended
any further than in one limb. The
parents are very hopeful and are
anxious to believe that the worst is
over.
Charles Baker, the nine year old
boy, who with his mother, is confin-
ed in the detention hospital on the
county farm is doing splendidly. He
is now able to walk. with his moth
er's aid, and can speak as we'll as ev-
er. His appetite is good and he is
happy and singing all day long.
The child and his mother are now
moved into the new frame house and
are very comfortable. The mother
in conversation with the Freeman
Tribune this morning said-"Yes, it
is pleasant and comfortable in the
new quarters, but awfully lonely!"
When asked if she had reading
matter or magazines, she said she
had a few magazines, but could use
more. There would be no harm and
a great deal of pleasure for Mrs.
Baker and the sick child, if motorists
could remember to take a few maya
zines, or little fruit, or some other
delicacy in their cars as they drive
out that way, and leave the things
upon the premises. Mrs. Bakers at.
tention could be attracted SO she
could get the things and her loneli-
ness would be greatly relieved.

A Queer Find.

While taking an old soda foun-
tain apart which has been stored in
his barn on Walnut street, J. E..
Clark found the dead body or skele-
ton of a "critter" in the bottom of it
that puzzles everybody who has seen
it. The fountain used to be on duty
at the old confectionery stand Mr..
Clark bought several years ago west
of the gas Office and conducted by
him for some time. The "varmit"
is about ten inches long and how it
ever got into the bottom of the foun-
tain is a mystery. Mr.. Clark thinks
he may send it to the professors at
Ames college. 1t is now on display
in the front window of this Office.

Board Authorizes Supt. D. M. Kelly
to Secure Trained Nurse
for an Indefinite
Period.
TO WATCH HEALTH OF PUPILS
City Schools Closed Today and all
Rooms to be Disinfected
and Fumigated.

The members of the school board
met last evening in regular session
and the ordinary routine business of
allowing bills took up the usual
amount of time.
The board voted to dismiss the
city schools for today, on account of
the one case of infantile paralysis
which has made its appearance
among Webster City school pupils,
and to thoroughly disinfect and FUN
igate each school room in every
building.
The most important feature of last
evenings meeting was the discussion
of the matter of hiring school
nurse. The board, after weighing
the matter, decided to authorize
supt. Kelly to hire an efficient train
ed nurse for an indefinite period for
the Webster City schools. Her bust
ness will be to keep the pupils in
health and to detect each symptom Of
i'll health, at once to isolate that pu-
|pil, and at any time to make sugges-
lions to be given to the children's
parents for the health of the pupils.
This news will be the most graft
flying which has emanated from the
school board for some time. The hir-
ing of school nurse has been a sub
ject much discussed in this city and
often recommended. Defective teeth,
tonsils, eyes, ears, etc., and anyfoth-
er disabilities will be detected by the
trained eye of the nurse, to say moth
ing of the detection of contagion
among the, children. 1t is the. pur-
pose of the superintendent to secure
a nurse who has had large expert
ence in isolation wards in the large
hospitals and who is quick to observe
symptoms of physical arrangement
Parents will appreciate the posi-
ton of the head of the schools at
this trying time when the most
dreaded of all contagious has made
it's appearance among the children
The weight of the responsibility at
such time is heavy upon his Shout
ders and he has pondered earnestly
the best and the wisest thing to do.
To close the schools is to send the
more than a thousand children
broadcast into the streets and yards
of the town, with possible one half
of the entire number watched care
fully at home for symptoms of ILL
ness. and the other half let run to
take care of themselves.
To keep the schools running as
usual, with trained eye upon the
children, to each day watch the phys
ical condition of each child, seems
the West thing to do and Supt. Kel-
ly should receive the support of each
parent in this decision.
Meantime, there is one thing
which is recommended everywhere
by state boards of health as a pre-
vention, and that is the spraying of
children's Threats and nostrils, three
times day, with a one per cent So
luton of dioxygen and water. Other
wise keep up the resistance of chill
dren; give them plenty of plain sub
stantfal food, regular baths and
plenty of sleep. Above all, let par
ents avoid worrying frame of mind
about the disorder which will Meth
er come nor go with worrying about
If

THE women WANT
A CITY FEDERATION
City Club Life Starts in Earnest
Movement on Foot to Federate
the Clubs.

The club life of Webster City
starts in earnest this week. Practic-
ally every study and social club is
now in full swing and the winters
work promises to be most interest
ing. The most important thing
claiming the attention of the local
clubs is the subject of city fedora
ton. For years at intervals the mat
ter has been talked Of, but the de-
mand is now general. There are nine
federated clubs in this city, beside
another nine or ten which are not
members of the state federation.
The good which might have been
done with the club women of the
city working as one body toward
some purpose for community welfare
is impossible to be determined. The
rest room proposition might never be
allowed to go by default if city
federation of women rose as one
woman and asked for it., Other
towns of the state with less num-
Der of clubs have a city federation
and do things worth while.
1t was clearly demonstrated dur
ing the preparation last spring for
Better Baby Week, how hampered
were the movements of the different
clubs because OF lack of organization.
| It is selfish spirit which would
keep each small circle Of women in
her own little clique, and exclude
those women, so many of whom are
so capable, so energetic and so help
full, from joining the city federation.
Perhaps the cooperative spirit,
which seems to be eluding every or
ganized body of people in Webster
City, whether civic, church or social,
would have it's birth in federation
of the club women here. At any
rate, some sort of public meeting is
to be held in the near future, hav-
ing as it's definite purpose the feder-
alton of the club women of Webster
City and every woman with the COM
munity pride and welfare at heart
will rejoice to aid in bringing this
thing about.
A woman's club is an essential
thing and something to be reckoned
with anywhere, by city. council, city
school board, or any other organiza-
ton. Are conditions unsanitary or
over crowded in city schools, then
see how much Of that sort of thing
the woman's club is going to stand
for. Is questionable amusement
coming to the city, watch woman's
club and see how quickly the promo
tiers of the amusement find 1t more
profitable to go elsewhere. Is there
need Of a rest room and money to
support the room within reach of
public officials, then see how much
influence a federated club can bring
to bear upon the proposition. 1t is
not question of expediency in this
city-that question has long ago
been settled. 1t is simply question
of club leaders and presidents bring
ing about a meeting and arranging
plans to federate. What should be
done, may be done, If there is defin-
lite and united action in that direc-
ton.
