FEAR HE is DEAD.
Monroe County NIan Way Have Been
Killed I'm n Wreck.

Abba, Dec. 10.-The relatives in
this county of Jerry O'Brien are very
apxious to learn of his whereabouts
Jerry was working at Alton up to the
time of the recent wreck. Since that
time he has disappeared and many
letters that have been written him
have been returned as uncalled for.
At the time of the wreck the papers
stated that Tom O'Brien, of Chicago,
had been killed, but the disappear
anee of Jerry leads many to think he
was the person who met his death.
His parents reside at Lovilia and
they are much worried over the
matter.

THE COUNTY FARM.
Excellent Administration OF Affairs by
steward III. GOsneII.

The board of supervisors made a
trip of recent date to the county poor
farm, which is in charge of Steward
Hiram Gosnell and his excellent
wife. Everything was found to be in
the most satisfactory condition and
the exceptional manner in which
things have been managed by Mr..
Gosnell has been text for general
comment for some time past.
This year on the farm has been one
of greatest prosperity all round.
There have been abundant crops
raised and to such an extent that the
farm has been rendered self sustain
ing. Vegetables sufficient for the
support of the inmates during the
winter are in the cellars. There are
potatoes, beets, turnips, squash,
pumpkins, beans, cabbage etc.
Herds of cattle and stock have been
raised and will be marketed in due
time. There is sufficient food, hay,
corn and oats for the keeping of all
the stock on the place. The farm
could not be in better shape. There
will be telephone line built to the
farm which will be great nonven-
fence both to Mr.. Gosnell and to the
county officials.
A member of the state board of
control paid visit of official nature
to the farm not long ago and tt q
gentleman was more than surprise
at the condition of the Mahask a
County farm. He seemed almost
extravaganza in his praise of the farm
and its management. He asserted
that the farm was the best that he
had found in all the state and that
all other counties could pattern after
the Mahaska county institution. This
is another feather in Mr.. Gosnell's
cap.
The inmates of the farm are seem
ingIy contented with their surround.
ings and the attention given them.
There are a-number of very difficult
charges in the home that must be
under constant careful watch, Mr..
Gosnell's success in the care of these
cases is little less than wonderful.
His work is entirely satisfactory to
the board and the county at large.
He is without question the right man
for the position that he is so ably
filling.
