Jury GO TO FRANKFORT.
Go to Look the Ground over Where
GoebeI Was shot-Youtsey to
BE Tried Next.

Georgetown, KY, Aug. 1.-THE
sixth week of Powers trial began
Monday morning with a number of
witnesses for the prosecution in re-
buttal remaining to be examined. b.
w. Bradburn, member of the reward
commission, was the first witness
called Monday.
Bradburp testified that of the S.
900 drawn by the commissioners out
of the fund appropriated by the legis-
Iature only about $4,000 had been ex-
pended, and said that no money had
been paid to any witness who had
testified in the case and that no agree
ment of contract existed between
the reward commissioners and Whar-
ton Golden, Robert Noaks, w. II. Gull
ton or any other witness.
The testimony in the Powers case
was concluded at noon. The court

AN ORPHANAGF.
Plans to Convert 0skaloosa Col,
lege Property Into an Indus
trial Home for Children.

Negotiations are in progress for the
establishment of an industrial home
for children in the city of Oskaloosa
The plans as formulated would con-
vert the Oskaloosa college property
west of the city into home that would
be under the possible management
and direction of the Benevolent AS
socia lion of the Christian church.
There is branch of the association
in st. Louis and home at Jackson
vile, Ill. and another home is sought
for in some Iowa City. Oskaloosa
offers advantages and opportunities
to be had in no other city in the state,
and it is very probable that the board
of the association will take favorable
action on the Oskaloosa property.
The college property is in bad re-
pair and will require several hundred
dollars to put it in tenable condition.
Something should be done with the
property at once TO save it from the
decay that is making great inroads
on its value.
The Oskaloosa school board would
find the building an excellent invest
ment for the school district. The
building would make fine school
property and would give the relief to
that part of the city west of the Iowa
Central tracks that has been demand
ed for some time. Several classes of
the schools we're taken to the college
building during the spring term on
account of the crowded condition OF
the other buildings, and it was found
that the place was in all ways fitted
for the purposes of public school.
There could be no better use made of
it.
The official board of the college has
made no definite settlement as to the
future use OF the college property.
There is an incumbrance on the place
that the board Is making earnest eff
fort to wipe out. They have been
successful In paying some Of the long
outstanding obligations against the
property and think that in short
| time they viii have the place in shape
80 that II will be possible to do some.

A HARD STORM.
Wind and Lightning do Damage
Tuesday Morning.

A very severe electricalgand wind
storm passed over the city about 4
O'Clock Tuesday morning. The storm
clouds were very similar to those Of
Sunday evening and like them also
came from the northwest. There was
ahigh wind accompanying the cyclon-
ic cloud and the play of the lightning
was incessant. Crash after crash
came and several places in the path
of the storm were struck.
The residence of EdlRMason on
North II street was struck by light
ming and quite a little damage re-
suited. The occupants we're consid-
erably shocked and shaken up but
were not injured.
Barn Burned.
John Pilgrim, living west of Beacon,
sustained a serious loss, caused by
the storm. Lightning struck his barn
and the fire that followed consumed
the building and contents, including
a lot of grain and one horse.

COLORED SOLDIERS.
Call For Negroes to Serve in the
Gallant Twenty fourth.

Des Moines, Aug. 1.-The following
is an order just received by wire by
Lieutenant Sweeney, at the local
United States army recruiting station:
"Until farther orders, make enlist
ments of desirable colored applicants,
fitted for tropical service for theTwen-
ty-fourth infantry, destined for the
Philippines. Send recruits to Fort
Harrison and send Geographic reports
on all enlistments for the Philippines
at end of each week.
(Signed) WARD,
Assistant Adjutant General"
This call for colored troops has
caused some little surprise in army
circles, for the colored regiments are
usually well filed, with many appli-
cants always ready to fill the vacan-
cies. The Twenty-fourth regiment is
now at Harrison, Mont, where it was
sent to recuperate after the campaign
in Cuba during the Spsnish-American
war. The regiment was one of the
foremost in the charge at FL Caney,
and lost more officers and men in
killed and wounded than any other
regiment in the islands. 1t is said
that colored soldiers are the best in
the world, and that when once coll
ored man joins the service, he rarely
leaves it.

COUNTY POOR FARM.
Mr.. C,wnie, of Board of Control,
Makes Official Visit.

John Cownie, member of the State
Board of Control, was in town Mon.
day, and in company with Supervisor
Hambleton, Auditor Cruzen and Re-
corder Harold went out and inspect
ed the Mahaska county poor farm.
The chief object of his mission was to
determine whether the incurable in
sane and others usually kept at the
regular state institutions, were re-
ceiving proper care at the county
poor farm. While Mr.. Cownie did
not give an official report he intimated
that the unfortunates were being sat
isfactorily cared for and that they
would be permitted to remain. He
said while they did inot receive the
care from nurses and attendants that
they would at the asylum they were
granted more freedom and had more
pleasant surroundings, which made
up for any lack of attention. Then,
too, the state institutions are crowded
with patients just now, SO that ad-
missions are made only in necessary
cases. The Board of Control has been
vested by the legislature with abso-
lutte power and they can order patients
to the state institutions whenever
they see fit to do so.
There are at present about thirty
inmates at the poor farm, fifteen of
whom come under the Jurisdiction of
the Board of Control. These fifteen
are being cared for at not to exceed
Sc 90 each per month, while at the
asylum the county would have to pay
SIC. 90 each per month. This effects
quite saving to the county. Mahaska
county already has nearly fifty pa
tients at Mt. Pleasant ......-
During the winter there were forty
nine patients in the poor farm, and
the institution lacked less than 81 900
of being self-sustaining last year.
Many of the inmates do good work,
and as a rule all are contented.

thought to be serious; but he became
worse. AS soon as the seriousness of
the attack was realized, messenger
was dispatched to the neighboring
camp of Gov. Lounsberry for doctor,
and he was on hand in half an hour.
Mr.. Huntington died without regaining
consciousness, not more than three
quarters of an hour having passed be-
tween the attack and his death. Mrs.
Huntington and Mr.. Huntington's Sec
rotary, G. E. Miles, were at his bedside
at the time of death.
Early in the day of Monday, Mr..

Vate steamer, the 0neonta; and he re-
marked to friends that he was feeling
unusually well.
