The Ottumwa Sun ( weekly ) was estab- lished in June. 1890, by S. B. and 11. C. Evans, and prospered until it was incorporated. The Morning Sun, a daily morning paper, was es- tablished in 1894, and although it attained a circulation of nearly 2,000 as a daily edition, yet the enterprise was not profitable, and the daily was suspended. The Sun was continued as a weekly until July, 1897, when it was con- solidated with the Democrat.
The Independent, as a weekly, was estab-
lished May 26, 1899, by S. B. Evans. It is what the name implies, politically.
The Saturday Herald ( weekly ) was estab- lished May 27, 1899, by R. H. Moore. Mrs. Moore is assistant editor.
A GLANCE AT MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.
There are a number of small factories in Ottumwa, but it will be our purpose to note only those that employ a large number of peo- ple, and have been potent in building up the town, giving it the prestige of being one of the leading manufacturing cities in lowa.
Among the most notable of the early fac- tories of Ottumwa is the Johnston Ruffler Com- pany, which had a very humble beginning; in 1872, however, the company erected buildings at a cost of $48,000, and entered upon the manufacture of sewing machine rufflers on a large scale, supplying a great part of this coun- try and many European cities. The patents finally expiring, the manufacture of these de- vices declined, and the Ottumwa Iron Works developed. This factory supplies all manner of iron machinery, making a specialty of min ing hoists and steam engines.
The most important industrial and com- mercial enterprise in the city is the Morrell Packing House. The peculiar advantage, Ot- tumwa offers for a great packing house were first brought to the attention of T. D. Foster. through Hon. J. G. Hutchison, on board an Atlantic steamship. Mr. Hutchison was re- turning from Europe and Mr. Fester was Off

his way to .America to seek a location. It was a most fortunate meeting for all concerned, as it resulted in inducing Mr. Foster to investi- gate, and he was satisfied. The great English packing house began operations here in 1877. A disastrous fire took place July 12, 1893. and the plant was almost destroyed, but it was re- built on a larger scale. It is one of the largest exclusively pork packing houses in the world, with a capacity of from 4,000 to 5,000 hogs per day, employing over 1,000 men on the average during the year. The Morrell meats find a market in Norway, Sweden, Great Britain, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy and Switzerland, and, of course, an extensive market in America. Agencies are established in New York, Boston, Memphis, San Francisco and in several other American cities. A detailed description of the great plant appears in the sketch of Mr. Foster, which is in another part of this volume. Mr. Foster takes great interest in all public enter- prises and gives freely of his means to aid all things that contribute to the good of the city and county.
The Janney Manufacturing Company was established in July. 1899. This factory mant :- factures the Janney Common Sense Corn Husker and Fodder Shredder, the Janney Corn Planters and Grinders, and other agricultural implements and machinery. The plant is in- stalled in a number of extensive brick build- ings, and employs 150 men, exclusive of the office force and traveling agents. A detailed description of the plant appears in a sketch of Mr. Janney in this volume.
The Dain Factory was established and be- gan operations early in January, 1900. The buildings are in South Ottumwa near the Wa- bash Railroad. These buildings are extensive. This establishment manufactures hay stackers, loaders, land rollers, shoveling boards, hay rakes, feed grinders and other agricultural im- plements. About 150 men are employed.
On April 20, 1891, the Hardsocg Manu- facturing Company was incorporated for the manufacture and sale of mining tools. These implements are acknowledged to be superior to any other kind and are used in all the prom- inent mines of the United States. Martin Hardsoeg, the president of the company. found- ed the plant. A more detailed description will be found in a sketch of Mr. Hardsocg, that appears elsewhere in this volume.
The Ottumwa Box Car Loader Company began operations about two years ago, and about a year ago erected a building, in which the plant is installed. The product of the plant is a machine for loading box cars with coal. It is the invention of Henry Phillips.
THE LIBRARY BUILDING.
On January 6, 1900. Andrew Carnegie of- fered to give $50,000 for the erection of a library building in Ottumwa, coupled with the condition that the city should by tax or other- wise contribute $5,000 annually for the support of a library. This proposition was accepted or ratified by the people at a special election held September 4, 1900. On October 1, 1900, the following persons were nained as trustces

by Mayor T. J. Phillips: J. T. Hackworth W. A. McIntire, J. J. Smith, S. P. Hartman, F. W. Simmons, C. M. Myers. C. P. Brown. George Withall and D. E. Chisman. The ap- pointments were confirmed by the city council. On October 3. 1930, the trustees mct and or- ganized by electing J. T. Hackworth, presi- dent : S. P. Hartman, secretary. Steps were at once taken to procure a site for the building and to secure plans for the structure, which was to be completed January 20, 1902. The plans of Smith & Gutterson, of Des Moines, were adopted on May 15. 1901, and the contract for
the building was let. The main building is to be 13.4 by of feet, with annex of 38.1 by 27.4 feet, to contain books ; the design is classic, but does not conform exactly to any of the different orders of architecture. It may be considered as Italian Renaissance, or an Italian soften- ing of the Greek-Doric order of architecture. and has a grand effect. The contractors for the work are Bartlett & Kling, of Galesburg. Illinois : the immediate direction of the work is under George Withall, superintendent for the trustees, and R. B. Teeter, superintendent for the contractors.

CHAPTER X
OTTUMWA AND ITS MUNICIPAL OFFICERS
OFFICIAL ROSTER OF THE CITY OF OTTUMWA -- - NAMES OF THE DIFFERENT PERSONS WHO HAVE HELD ELECTIVE AND APPOINTIVE OFFICES-THE POSTMASTERS OF OTTUMWA.
Following is a list of city officials for the past fifty years, from the time Ottumwa was . and a full set of city officials.
organized as a village in 1851 up to the present. The list contains many names that have since become famous in city and state affairs, and it shows that some of the most substantial men the city contained were at one time or another at the head or participated in its government. Ottumwa was organized on May 20, 1844, and the site for the city selected, but it was not un- til 1851 that the town was incorporated and a set of officials provided for. When the site for a city was first selected it was given the In- dian name of Ottumwa, but later it was changed to Louisville, in honor of Louisville, Kentucky. This name was kept but a few months, when it returned to the old Indian name, which it has had since.
George Gillaspy was the first president of the board of trustees or mayor, as the office is known at present. Since that time Ottumwa has passed successively through all the stages of a village with its board of trustees, until to-
day it is a city of the first class, with a mayor
