NEW CHAIN LErrER GAME.
lowans Receive Rsqussts For ~ Cents
TO Buy Ansstheties.

Webster City, March 30.-A brand
new chain letter proposition sweeping
westward from New York, has reached
Webster City and bids fair to be as
successful as the 40 cents for q 81
shirt" chain letter, which recently
swamped the Minneapolis postoffice
with mall. This newest chain letter
is thoroughly up date. 1t asks q
contribution Of "a cents to a fund to
purchase anesthetics to use In the hos
pitfalls Of the allies in Europe.
Each person who receives the letter
is asked to contribute "a cents and
to write four letters to four friends,
each Of whom, in turn, Is to contribute
this amount and also write four
friends. A form letter is sent, which
each person is asked to use. The
money is to be sent to Mrs. Elizabeth
Whitman. superintendent Of nurses,
21S Second avenue. New York City.
Tie proposition may be a legitimate
one. No references are given, however.
and the natural inclination Of many
here is to doubt it. Each person who
gets this letter, is also asked to write
on separate sheet the names of the
last forty persons to whom the letter
has been sent, which list might easily
be mistaken for references.

motorcycle on which he was riding
was struck by an auto driven by Louie
Kolliff, OF the Wide Wake shoe repair

on Federal avenue. The latter driver
is said to hare been going at a good
rate Of speed and the fact that Lester
was thrown to one side Of the street
when his motorcycle was struck was
the only thing that kept him from be-

cycle was carried several rods before
the auto was brought to standstill.

Fred Phillips farmer living on
Jack Jones' old place about six miles
south OF Algona, met with serious ac-
cident that will probably cost him his
left arm. He was over assisting a
Fneighbor who lives on the place
formerly occupied by X. Aarvig. While
passing wood he slipped. and was fall
ing into the saw. In order to protect
his body he threw his arm against the
saw. with the result that his hand was
terribly mangled, both bones of the
fore arm severed and the flesh torn
and mangled. Mr.. Philips came here
from Eagle Grove about five years ago.
He is GO years OF age, but in excellent
health and no doubt will stand the
shock. He was brought to the hospital
and his son Perry. who lives in Mime
sofa sent for. He was expected on the
afternoon train. when an examination
was to be made to see if the hand could
possibly be saved.

Railroads declare that common labor
Is already becoming scarce for the
spring work. despite the small amount
OF work that Is being done by other
railroads. There will be no extensive
constructions on local divisions, rail-
road officials said today. Roadmaster
Rodgers OF the Illinois Central said
yesterday that as soon as the frost
was fairly well out Of the ground they
would put about 1000 men to work to
clean up the right of way The Illinois
Central has no construction work to
do this summer. They will center their
efforts on keeping the right Of way in
condition. Probably the biggest con-
|struotion work to be done in this
vicinity will be the new railroad shops
that are being built in Eagle Grove
this summer. The Chicago and North
western railroad is constructing these
shop at a cost of $4,000. The cost
OF railroad labor this year will be
from 171s cents to 20 cents an hour
Railroad men declare, however, that
they can not employ the required
amount Of labor at that price.
