Appropriated Cash.

A lad who gave his name as Daniel
johnson was tried before JudgeDewey
Friday afternoon on a charge of grand
larceny. The young man confessed
to the theft of S42.25 from George
Trunbell, of No. 1902 B avenue west,
who had taken the lad in to give him
a square meal. Johnson was a sort
of a tramp and told 80 clever a story
of dead parents and abuse by grand
parents that the sympathies of Mr..
Trunbell were moved and he was hav-
ing the lad do some chores about the
house. The boy found chance to go
through pair of trousers belonging
to Trunbell and he distracted there
from 1925. He left the place but
was soon missed and the loss discov-
cred. The matter was turned over to
the police am the lad arrested at the
Rock Island station as he was about
to board train for Rock Island. He
was sent to the Reform school at Ell
dora, and was taken there by Sheriff
VIM. Cricket.

HOME TELEPHONE.
Material Prosperity Shown by
New Subscribers List.

There has recently been published
from THE HERALD presses new
list of the subscribers to the Home
Telephone Exchange. There is now
in the exchange 525 instruments and
there are orders for more instru-
ments that cannot be filled at the
present time on account of the lack
of board room in the central office.
There is a new board ordered and
will be delivered in the city within a
few days that will have a capacity of
100 additional phones. This is the
largest exchange in the state for a
city the size of Oskaloosa. There is
a continual increase in the demand
for instruments and if the present
rate of increase is maintained during
the summer they will have another
hundred board placed in the office
before the year is over.
There is considerable out side work
being done on the exchange at pre-
sent. New and heavier poles are be-
ing substituted for the old and re-
construction is going on in all parts
of the city. The new work is in the
hands of the efficient and pains tax
ing superintendent William Dins-
more and much of the prosperity
that is now being enjoyed by the ex-
change is due to the efforts and the
work OF this gentleman.

No Game Friday.

1t had been arranged that the Os-
kaloosa Base Ball Club would in
augurate it's season in game Friday
of this week. This is the date of the
field meeting between Penn college
and Drake University and as the
club wishes in no way to conflict with
the college, the date of the game will
be postponed until the Monday fol-
lowing.
That Oskalossa will support base
ball team of the amature sort is not
doubted. Much of the Beacon pat
ronage of the Beacon-Pekay ball
games comes from this city and if
the Oskaloosa boys will get team
that will put up fair sample of the
national sport there will be large
support from the city.
Oskaloosa had base ball experience
in the summer of 1887 when we had
the Central Iowa league and when
there was SO much in cold cash spent
in maintaining some so-called pro-
fessionals for few weeks at the ex-
pense of public interest and dollars.
The city has never quite recovered
from that shock and it will be little
backward in giving it's support to
club until it is satisfied that things
are on a different basis.
The Oskaloosa Club has been start
ed and there are young men in itwho
will make it a winner. The one thing
needful isIa good pitcher and the club
is now in correspondence with num-
berio men who are willing to come to
the city
1t is likely that the first game of
the season will be with Abba
