Two YEAks.-Chas. McGlassOn was
sentenced to two years at hard labor in
the penitentiary by Judge Ryan on FRI
day morning. having been found guilty
Of malicIously threatening the life of
his paramour, Miss Anna Cook. When
the prisoner was arraigned for sentence
his attorney raised the objection that
one of the jurymen, Jacob Weintz, was
not an American citizen and therefore
McGlasson was entitled 10 q new trial.
The argument of this question occu.
pied all forenoon, but the objection Was
over ruled by the judge. 1t appears
that Mr.. Weintz was born in Germany
and came TO this country with bis pa
rents when four months old. AS his
fatherdied shortly after their arrival, he
never took out bis natnraiizatIo papers
consequently the. son was not a citizen
on that score. Il was proven. however,
that Mr.. Weintz had voted for the past
So yeas, had been soldier In the Unit
cd states service, and was citizen or
the state OF Nevada at the time il was
admitted into the Union as . stats.

George Godfrey, of the wholesale
fruit store, in his usual pleasing man
ner remarked: "A new use has been
found for bananas which will greatly
add to the value of that fruit. In several
places in Central America -four is now
being made from bananas. which under
a chemical analysis is found to contain
more nutrimept than rice, beans or
corn. A mandatory on large scale

Joseph G. Oppenheimer, president of
the board of trade, is a firm believer in
Oskaloosa's future growth and thinks
everybody should take an interest in
the upbuilding of the city. "One Of
the best ways to do this" says he, sis
to buy everything at, home. Where
you put the fertilizer the grass shows it.
Where you throw your trade the busi-
ness shows it. Trade given to the pro-
ducers of Oskaloosa means prosperity
for the institutions that will make it a
good city for all. We should all be
made to realize that a city is a corpora
tion in which every citizen is stock
holder; that every citizen is interested
in all things that go to make prosper
Gus and growing city. A home insti-
tuition, whether it be one of produc-
ti0n or trade, should be an object of
good will with every citizen; be should
give it what he has to give in the way
of PATRONAGE"

THE RAMBLER.

AS the bad roads and weather put a
damper on business the early part Of
the week, The Rambler improved his
opportunity of obtaining short talks
with number of prominent men about
town: at looks to me as though peo-
pie, and especially business men would
learn to put no other than Yale locks
upon their houses" said MIR. l. M.
Gibbs, in speaking about the large
number of stores that have been entered
lately. at is next to impossible to
pick Yale lock and as there are but
two keys to each lock one can feel safe
that he knows where they are. Before
putting Yale lock upon the door, our
office was opened several times by keys
that belonged to other locks, but since
that time we have not had any trouble"

II know statistics are considered dry
matter for newspapers, said Supt. 0. c..
Scott, "but in looking over recent
standard publication L could not help
comparing Iowa with some Of the other
states. Alabama, Arkansas, Missis-
sippi, North Carolina, Georgia, South
Carolina and Iowa, all have in round
numbers about one million and half
population, and the following Is the
number of teachers in the public
schools of each state, given in round
numbers: Alabama, 1900; Arkansas,
1900; Mississippi. 1900; North Caro-
lima, 1000; South Carolina, 1000; Geor-
gia, 5000; Iowa. $4,000. Thus it will be
seen that in the first six states given
there are 22O00 public schools, while
Iowa, that ranks only even with them
in population. has 1000 more public
schools than all six of them put to-
gether. This makes grand showing
for Iowa, as education is the founda-
tion of our form of government, as
well as the basis of all that is good and
grand in the lives of individuals"

The twenty-five mile race, from st.

Cities, will, from all indications, eclipse
all other cycling events that have ever
taken place in the Northwest. The
contest was proposed by some of the
leading local wheelman some few weeks
ago. and the idea was enthusiastically

Minneapolis. A meeting was held on
Friday evening last by the st. Paul Cy-
Gle club. at which definite plans were

trance fee has been fixed at 80 cents. 1t
was at first decided to make the fee 81,
but upon further consideration the
amount was placed at so cents. As the

who enter are requested to give their

THREE CASES DECIDED.
One Against Capt. Snider AM
: Another Arainst Tim Byrnes.

One Against Capt. Snider and
Another against Tim Byrnes.
: Verdicts were returned yesterday in
three hotly contested suits. which oc-
cupied as many judges of the district
court the major portion of last week in
trial.
April 90, last. Charles N. Prouty, of
Spencer, Mass, made an application for
a receiver for the firm of NJ. l.. Hal
lowell Jr. Il Co. and Samuel z. Snider,
of this city. Capt. Snider at that time
made a statement that the claim Of
$4,000 was largely fraudulent. On
the trial of the case before Judge LOch-
rem Prouty testified he had purchased
S21,O00 of Halloween & Co.'s notes of
turned in as part payment for the same
S1S,562 of claims against the insolvent
corporation of Potter. Lowell d Co. The
jury cut the claim from $22, 900 to ST.
1856, for which amount Judgment was
returned.
The dispute in the Flynn family,
which has been in the courts previously,
was heard by Judge Pond. The squab-
bic arose over certain certificates of de-
positS held by L. II. Flynn,
deceased. Bridget Flynn, a sister
of the dead man, claimed these
deposits had been indorsed by her
brother Oh his death bed and given to
her. On the other hand, James and Pat
rick Flynn. two SONS Of the deceased,
claimed the signatures were forgeries
and stopped the payment of the money.
The jury found tor the sister for 81 $50.
The previous trials resulted in the disa-
greement of the jury.
Judge Canty adjudicated in the suit
Of Rosa Boas against Tim Byrnes ct al.
Mrs. BoaS claimed that two years ago
she gave Tim $4,000 to invest for her.
When called upon to settle up, lin
gave note for the amount signed by
his father, Daniel Byrnes, and due
in 1895. He also gave number of
other notes for lesser amounts, which
were to be credited as they became due,
to the account of the big note. These
notes were likewise signed by Byrnes
senior. but he refused to pay them on
maturity. Thereupon Mrs. BoaS sued
Tim and Daniel ON the big note for
81 .2I0 interest now due. The jury gave
her verdict for the full amount of her
claim

liot, who took the case under advise
ment, and will render a decision next
Tuesday. The case has excited con-
siderable comment, inasmuch as on the
decision hinges the right of the street
railway company to levy taxes upon
licensed house movers, who, in per-
forming their business, find it neces-
sary to cross the tracks, after having
procured the necessary permit from the
building inspector.
Mr.. Pratt testified that he had noti-
fed Manager Hiele, of the street rail-
way company, that he proposed to cross
its tracks, and requested that the nee
eSsary precautions be taken in regard
to the trolly wires. Manager Hiele told
him that he would charge him $40 for
crossing the tracks, which MIR. Pratt de-
clined to pay. However, he promised
to send his men and look after the wires.
The result OF the whole thing was Mr..
Pratts arrest, as has already been
stated in the newspapers. Manager
Hlele stated to the court that under the
provisions of the building ordinance:the
street railway company is entitled 10
charge hOuse-mOverS who move build
ings over their tracks, in order to pay
for the cutting and subsequent splicing
of the wires. The $40 barely covered
this expense. He denied that he told
Mr.. Pratt that he would send men to
look after the wires.
