Assist in Cleaning Up City.

Fort Dodge. Nov. 23.-At a mass
meeting held within two hours of the
publication OF the account Of an at
tack 10y an unknown negro upon two
young white girls, representative col
Ored men Of Fort Dodge resolved 10
do all in their power to rid this COM
munlty OF undesirable negro men ana
woman and infamous resorts which
were run 10y and for them.
The prumptneSs of the action. the
eamestnc>s displayed by those who at
tended the meeting. and their earnest
desire for the good opinion and re-
spect of the white population, all is
deserving of hearty Commendation
1t is believed that the great majority
Of the colored population here are de-
srous of being good citizens and are
more anxious than the white people
are to have disrrputahlc negroes VINO
would disgrace themselves and all OF
their color kept out OF here.
In reporting the action Of the meet
ing 4 member Of the committee said;
We are passing over without discus
sion the possibility that in the darkness
the young girls who were attacked on
the railroad track might be mistaken
n believing the assailant was a negro.
In the night and in an excited condi-
ton such mistake could occur. But
we do not want TO raise a question
which might seem 70 be a defense OF
an unknown scoundrel OF our race. No
punishment could be too severe to meet
our approval for such crime no mat
ter what the color OF the villain may
be- But we do want TO ask ali good
people to believe us and not encourage
sweeping condemnation which might
iniure those who are innocent and who
want 10 do the right thing"

The Purpose of the British Drive

While there is great rejoicing at the
success Of the Britishm drive into the
German lines toward Cambria the
strategical result or even the military
purpose is not yet clear and the bent
Informed war correspondents are sus-
pending judgment as TO its real I'M
portance Whether intended Tor THAI
purpose or not It follows naturally that
any break in the German lines OF such
magnitude would tend to relieve preA-
sure upon the italian front and tho
situation there Is admittedly very
grave. It would tend to occupy Ger
man troops and guns that might other
wise be used against the Italians or at
might even force the recall of troops
already sent there. The attack OF the
French Just started can have the same
effect.
SO far In this war the big battles
such as the attack Of the Germans at
Verdun and that OF the English at the
Somme have been considered unsuC-
cessful to the side which assumed the
offensive because It's armies were un-
able to break thru its enemy'S lines
and sweep them back over vast areas
as the Germans have recently done 70
the Italians It was not until this
summer when a small thrust here and
another there compelled the Germans
70 perform a so-called "strategicaF
retreat that It appeared that these
local drives or wedges a few miles al
time had really accomplished any
large result more than the wearing
down Of German man power
This break Of the Brtons thru the
Hindcnburg line may have beeen In
tended only as a local attack to Keep
the Teutons busy and have succeeded
beyond even the expectations OF the
British because OF the complete sur
prise 10 the Germans or possibly pc
cause Of declining German morale.
Again It may have some strategical
purpose In cooperation with the
French attacks recently begun which
can not be foreseen now but when
may result later IN an enforced
"strategical" retreat Of the Germans
If this Is the purpose It has the pos
slbiIity of a combined operation by the
English and French to compel gem
eral retreat of the Germans between
Vcrdun and Lille and the evacuation OF
practically all Of northern France.

Combination sales frequently result
in the sale OF more food stuffs than

The jamestown base Is a new &C

was purchased at cost Of sl.600,o0O
and twice that amount IS being spent

The jamestown base and the train
ing sta ton at St. Helena, within the
city limits of Norfolk, can accommo-
date more than 10000 men preparing
for service in the navy.
The men are kept in training at the
naval base for four months. At the
end of that time they are ready for
service on a warship. They are given
the rating Of second class seamen. So
far as possible the men, after they
are thoroughly drilled. are given work
they are best suited for. While all OF
them get the same rating after their
''graduatioh" from the training camp,
many advance rapidly as they develop
skill in the work OF the trades they Sc
lect after getting on board ships.
For instance, men who wanted to be-
come machinists or flremen are trained
on shore for those trades, and when
they get on board ships they are given
third class ratings OF machin lists, fire.

 The Indian killed the goose in 1898, and found six grains of wheat in it's crop, he said. He planted the grain, and harvested a small handful of long bearded wheat, unlike any ever seen here before He continued to plant i, and gave seed to his neigh bors
 Last year he exhibited a sheaf of wheat at the Interstate fair in Spokane Washington. and there he saw similar whea: from Saskatchewan Canada. The exhibitor told him he had obtained his seed from a sack of wheat brought from Russia in 1897.

MINING AND DREDGING
 EDITION POSTPONED

in answer to numerous inquiries re- L.tivc to the Nuggets annual pnblica- ton, the Mining and Dredging Edition. tho publisher announces that the journal win not appear this fall. After |. survey of the situation it has been decided to publish the magazine in the Spring shortly before the opening of navigation and this rule will be fol- lowed in issuing all future editions. The great press of business during the fall months has at all times rendered the task of publishing the ma gaZlne pne of great difficulty. Not only Is it hnrd to find time to secure the neces- Slry information but in haste and rush marking the last days of the season it is practically impossible to cover he field thoroughly as is desired. It has been the aim of the publishers at all times to make the ma gazine as full ly comprehensive of the local field as possible, overlooking no item of infor- nation relative to the mining condi- tions and activities of Seward Penin- sula that would be of Interest to the public. Although attaining a fair de- gree of success in this respect in the past, the magazine has at all times fallen short of what was desired ow- ing to the impossibihty of entirely covering the field during the late fall. Under the new plan 1t will be possible to fully accomplish this purpose. By issuing in the Spring the publisher Will have ample opportunity to thoroughly cover every field of endeavor and also avoid all inaccuracies due to haste and te absence of time In which to verify the information secured.
 As in previous years. the Nugget re- quests that readers who possess photos of late mining operations or other views illustrative of the industries and activities of this section klndly per- init their use for illustrative purposes. Views contributed will be carefully preserved and returned to their owners after half tones are made therefrom.
