Thos. Larson Buys a Hardware
Store at Eldora.

Thos. Larson has given up his pos
ition here, and has gone to Eldora
where he has associated himself in
the hardware business with Geo. E..
Gilman under the firm name of Lar
son & Gilman. Mr.. Gilman is vet
eran merchant there and has a fine
location. In taking in partner he
cast about for a responsible young
man to whom he could trust his in
terests in the store, and the choice
fell to Mr.. Larson. Mr.. Larson takes
a half interest and will have almost
complete management of the bust
ness. He is capable young man,
and no one who knows him doubts
that full success will crown his work.
For seven years he has Ebeen a
trusted employee of the Huber & Kali
bach Co. of this city, and in a bust
ness way as well as socially his
friends are legion.
This makes three young men which
Oskaloosa has furnished Eldora re-
Gently, Mr.. Larson, Fred Esgen and
Elmer Wilson. They are all of the
salt of the earth, and young men
with whom Oskaloosa parts very re-
luctantly. Success be to all of them.

THE SEARCH STOPS.
The Right Thing has Been Found
An Oska1oosa Citizen Shows
the Way.

Once more we are indebted to a
Oskaloosa citizen for public state
ment that throws more light on a
subject of ever-increasing interest.
People have been deceived by false
misrepresentation from time i'm
memorial No wonder they are skep-
teal of all claims endorsed by strang-
ers, residing in far distant parts OF
the Union. 1t is no longer necessary
to accept such endorsements, for
local citizens are giving their testi-
mony, and tits an easy matter for any
reader to investigate the correctness
of such evidence as the following:
Mr.. David Robertson of 1870 G.
avenue east, carpenter by trade says:
Every spring. during the months OF
broken weather had more or less
kidney trouble There was consider.
able pain in the small of my back
over the kidneys and those organs
showed distinct evidence of being
disordered. On the look out foI
something to relieve me saw Doan's
Kidney Pills advertised to cure all
ments similar to mine. 1 went tC
Blakeslee & Heinzman's drug store
and got box. They proved to be
the right thing in the right place and
their use amply verified the claims
made for them were true. After us
ing all the pills in the box my back
bothered me no more"

Impressive Ritualistic Service
By Woodmen.

There was a Monument UnyeiI-
ing" Sunday afternoon at the Forest
Cemetery in accordance with the
ritualistic requirements of the Wood
men of the World lodge, at the grave
of sovereign Woodman w. E. Green.
The.service was quite elaborate and
impressive and was attended by sew
eral hundred people, lodge members
and friends of the family of the de-
parted. = -- '~r.. - sKJss t----ea-ssSa
ga parade was formed . att the
Woodmen Hall at 2:3O o'clock that
was headed by the Iowa Brigade
band. Then followed the members Of
the lodge and the relatives of the
deceased and others in carriages.
There was quite large turn.outEof
the LWoodmen ofKthe World. The
procession went directly to the For
est Cemetery where the monument
had been erected at the grave of the
deceased brother. 1t was draped
in the national flag and was at the
center of web that was formed by
stretching cords to designate the
formation of the lodgemembers when
they assembled at the grave where
all the ceremonies were conducted.
Assembled at the grave there was
some sacred music by the band and
then II. A. Gum, who is the state
organizer for the order, conducted
the work of the ritual. The flag was
removed from the stone revealing
a handsome granite monument.
Love, honor and remembrance"
were the tributes of the brothers and
the stone was anointed as is the GUS
tom according to the ritual.
There was brief but appropriate
address by Rev. Orr Campbell, who
spoke of the work that was being
done by the lodge. His words were
closely followed by the assembled
multitude.
w. E. Green it will be remembered
died very suddenly and Unexpectedly
of heart trouble on April rs, '99. 1t is
the custom of the Woodmen of the
World to erect a monument at the
grave of each departed member and

committee, and before he came dowr
senta message to Mayor Carter Harrison
requesting that he be not expected 10
shake hands with the members OF the
committee. The admiral explained this
request by saying that he had had so
much handshaking on Saturday thathls
hand panied him severely. Mayor Van
WICK acted as the escort of the adj
miral throughout the day.
At 10 a. m. Mayor Harrison and the
members of the Chicago committee
were received by the admiral In the
ballroom of the hotel. Mayor Har'
rison, in a few words, presented an In
yitation to the admiral to visit Chicago
at any time convenient to him, request
ing, however, that If possible, he be
present at the laying of the corner
stone of the new post office, October 9
Forced to Decline.
In response Admiral Dewey expressed
his appreciation of the honor conferred
upon him, but said he would be com
PEELED to forego the pleasure of visit
at this time. After his visit to Wash
ington he would go to Vermont and
take much needed rest. He had great
regard for Chicago, and regretted his
inability to visit that city now. As the
admiral left the room there was burst
of applause, and he turned and waved
q salute with his hand as he disappeared
behind the heavy curtains.
Mayor Harrison expressed himself as
we'll pleased with the reception given
him and the committee. When asked
if he thought that Admiral Dewey
would go to Chicago, he looked sur
prised and said: go, of course he will
Didn't he say he would go some time
That's all we care for-to get his prom
Use to GO whenever he pleased"
The corridors of the Waldorf-Astoria
were thronged all day with people anx'
ious to catch even glimpse of the great
admiral. Early in the morning they
began to come in, and they were com
ing and going all day. But none oil
them was given the pleasure of seeing
Dewey. He was not down in the cor
ridors of the hotel at any time. When
he was escorted to the room to meet
the Chicago delegation he was taken
down a private stairway and returned
the same way. In every conceivable
manner his movements were guarded to
keep the curious crowd from getting
near him.
