BUSY POST OFFICE.
Christmas Registry Business
Greatest in History Of City.

The skaloosa post office has broken
all previous on the volume of Christ
mas business done in the registry de-
partment.
There was a great increase last year
over previous years but the end of
the century record is one that will be
talked of for years to come. On Sat
urday and Monday the business re-
quired three persons working with all
possible dispatch from the time the
registry window opened in the morn
until its close in the evening, to
handle the business.
The record for the year shows that
SO more packages were registered
this year than ever before. This
record may show a number of things.
First the growth of the registry de-
partment of Uncle Sans service
with the general public, next the
general prosperity abroad in the land
by the increase in the number of
Christmas remembrances sent away
and again it tells of the increase in
the number OF people in the city and
the great business done through the
Oskaloosa office.

A "LCNG" FARM.
Peculiar Condition Arising out of
Abandoned Railroad.

Brighton Enterprise: When the
Rock Island railroad company de-
serts it's right of way between Brighton
and Perlee, there will be a farm of
100 acres reclaimed for agriculture,
which has for nor than a quarter of
a century been devoted to other uses.
The farm will be ten miles long and
six rods wide and includes some of
the best land in two counties. The
title to the new property is compli-
Gated, as each separate piece of the
original right of way will revert to
the n who decided it for railroad
purposes only. AS soon as it ceases
to be used for that purpose the pre-
vious deed becomes effective again.
In most cases the original grantors
are dead and the old farm has changed
hands, but that will not effect the old
title, and the heirs OF the grantors
will claim the land. In some cases
this will amount to considerable, as
much as ten acres being taken from
one farm, and this land is now worth
from $50 to 500 per acre. The ques-
ton is, what will these heirs do with
their newly inherited fortuneP They
can hardly farm these inaccessible
strips of land, but may sell to adj
joining owners who IA thus square
up their farms again.
The first man at this end Of the
route to recover his land will be
Capt. l.. /. washburn, whose 16 acre
patch in the corporation was cut in
twain by the railroad taking some
thing over an acre Of ground. This
strip however may be retained blythe
railroad and used as a switch to the
egg house and stock yards.

BERT GRILL DEAD.
Found in Dying Condition Near
Kankakee, Illinois.

The body of Bert Grill was brought
20 this city on Christmas day and
taken to the home Of his father,
George Grin, and burial was made
from there Wednesday afternoon at 2
O'Clock.
The death Of the young nan was
the result of a railway accident, the
cause of which is somewhat of a
mystery. Grin had been working in
Kankakee for some time past. His
wife, a former Kankakee girl, was in
oskaloosa and had written to Bert to
come home for Christmas. He had
purchased a suit of new clothes, new
hat, new shoes, new outfit complete,
and with the goods securely wrapped
in a bundle had started for his home
in this city. He took the "side door
sleeper' route from Kankakee with
the probable intention of saving rail
road fare and boardt d a freighttrain
that left Kankakee for the west at 8
O'Clock in the evening. He was found
at the side of the track Monday morn
ing about 6 o'clock at a point about
two miles out of Kankakee. He was
thought to be dead and the and was
reported to the authorities. The
chief of police of that city and the
coroner went to the spot and the
senseless form of the man was picked
up about s O'Clock. He had evident
ly laid unconscious during the bad
storm of the night. There was a
broken arm, a hole in the head where
it had struck a stone or some sharp
object in the fall from the train, and
there were numerous abrasions and
scratches of the skin. A short dis
lance from the place where the body
was found the package containing
the new clothes and furnishings was
picked up. There was no coat or
vest on the body when found. This
fact leads the police to think that
perhaps the man vas in a a with
tramps and that a quarrel was started
in which Grill pulled off his coat and
vest and was afterwards thrown from
the car.
The body was searched and in the
pocket there was a letter found, 1t
had been written by the wife from
Oskaloosa and it was by this means
that the body was identified. The
chief of police started with the body
for Oskaloosa by the first train in the
effort to reach the home of the man
before he died. As the train pulled
into Abba Grill gasped to or three
times in an effort to catch breath, a
SILVER passed over his features and
he was dead. The body was turned
over to the undertaken at Abba and
the chief of police came to this city
to make known the facts concerning
the case and to learn what he could
Of the deceased.
The deceased leaves a wife and a
babe several months old. Interment
was made in forest cemetery.

him to bed and induced sleep with an
Opiate.
When he woke next day, he looked
around him in bewilderment. Then the
events of the night before, came back to
him, and he remembered where he was.
Looking at his watch he found that it was
almost noon, and he scrambled out of bed
and into his clothes in a hurry. As he
was running down stairs, two steps at a
time, he met the doctor, who cried, laugh
ing
Hold on, young MIN, not SO fast. Stop
and pay for your nights lodging" Tom
knew the jovial doctor and liked him, and
answered gayly:
"Pay nothing. You know Icouldn't pay
for my funeral. I'm always broke. But
tell me what has happened this morning"
Happened, about what? ?" said the doc
tor, feigning ignorance.
"Oh you know, very well. Now, don't
keep me in suspense" pleaded Tom.
So the doctor told him. Soon after the
two men had been put in with Clayton, the
watch heard a disturbance and going in
had found the wounded man odrsing and
unbraiding Clayton for getting him into
the business. In the morning the smaller
one of the burglars made a full confession
and told how Clayton had found them and
asked them If they wanted to make a good
haul, telling them that there was a lot of
money in the safe and "only a kid" to
guard it. They had succeeded in crawling
in at a back wind ow and the rest followed
In going around the Jail the next morn
ing the marshall found lying underneath
the window of the Jail corridor q lot of
old papers, and inside of them was a great
part of the stolen money. The rest was
found scattered around in dark corners
of the corridor. The manager evidently
had looted the safe himself, and then plan
ned a burglary to hide his crime. The
contents of the safe, when examined, prov
ed this to be the case.
But all his efforts were of no avail, and
he was sentenced to five years in the pen
itentiary. The presldent of the company
came out at once and after getting ac-
duainted with the facts in the case, and
arranging things at c., by appointing
a new manager, returned to the east and
took Tom along. A good position in the
home Office was given to him, with the
prospect a steady advancement. The news
papers we're full of the affair, and painted
Toms GOODNESS and courage in the highest
colors. He was worshiped as q hero by
every one with whom he became ~acqSAintz
ed in his new place, and altogether he had
a very nice time of it. His chum, in his
next letter, referred to the adventure as if
it we're a huge joke, and said
"Well, Captain Tommie, you always,
were a mean man to tackle and this surely
beats anything you ever did in college"
