WoRKMEN ARRESTED.
Iowa Central People Antagonized at
Hampton.

G. W. Sewers, general attorney
for the Iowa Central, returned to the
city Monday evening from Hampton
where he was called to investigate a
rather peculiar cas- in which a mum
Der of Iowa Central workmen have
been made defendants.
1t seems that there is a disposition
on the part of a number of people in
Hampton to antagonize the Iowa Gen.
trail and the work thatit is endeavor-
ing to do in that city. The city has
required the Central to rebuild it's
stock yards in the city and it became
necessary that some of the work of
remodeling be done on Sunday in
order to accommodate a number of
shippers and stock men who desired
the use of the yards. With utter dis
regard for the demands of the emer-
gency Or the great Improvement that
the Central had planned, some of the
townspeople fled information and
swore out warrants against the work
men engaged in the work and all
were arrested. Bonds yer furnished
for appearance and the trial of the
cases will be heard Friday.

Kenworthy and Dolliver Stir up
Gotham.

New York, Sept. 1s-The New York
Press today says:
Republicans invaded the Bowery
last night and a good sized East Side
audience listened to campaign
speeches by Judge Kenworthy and
Victor E. Dolliver, both of Iowa, in
the Bowery headquarters of the the
republican club of this city.
Mr.. Kenworthy said that in the
west New York was loved not be-
cause of the republican vote in the
city, but because of the tremendous
republican majorities that came down
to the Harlem to overwhelm Tam
many. No missiles were thrown at
the speaker for this declaration.
81 am a republican and believe in
the republican party" he continued,
because it is the party thatldoes not
depend upon disaster and ruin to OBJ
tain power and control. l have ex-
pected that the democrats would try
to convert the Galveston disaster in
to a campaign issue against the re-
publicans. If the democrats get into
power they will repeal the Dingley
tariff bill and resurrect the Wilson
bill. No workingman wants that
done. The last thirty days of the
campaign of 1896 was a fight for the
honor and life of the country and l
do not think that we intend to des-
troy the good we have DONE"
Mr.. Dolliver spoke of the money
question. He said the balance on
the credit side of the national ledger
was a conclusive argument why the
Mckinley administration should be
continued in power four years more.
1--WE have dealt free silver a death
blow" said Mr.. Dolliver, that is
survived only by Bryan. He went
into the silver business some time
ago without visible means of sup
port. He energies with a big stake.
But nobody blames him for scraping
the cream off the top. He has done
it at the expense of the democratic
party, and in so doing has placed
the party in a bad way. Under re-
publican rule the country has pros
pered. The workingman now goes
home to his wife with his wages in
money that is sound, money that is
honest the world over"

NEW HOTEL,
Modern Guest House to be Erect
ed near Iowa Central Depot.

There is every prospect that there
will be a new hotel in the city of Os-
kaloosa. 1t will be located on the
lots recently acquired by the Iowa
Central, east of it's tracks on the
north side of High avenue There
has long been a demand for a rail-
way hotel in the vicinity of the Gen.
trail and there is promise that a new
and neat house will be erected yet
this fall to supply the demands of
the road and it's employees. If the
house is put up, as there now seems
reason to believe that it will be, this
city will be made the stopping place
for the Central passenger trains.
The new house will furnish breakfast
and supper for the passengers of
trains No. 1 and 2.
If the place is erected it will be
n of the greatest improvements
that has been made in that part of
the city in years.

THE HORSE SHOW
Opening Performance Marred by
an Accident.

Prof. o. r. Gleason, the renowned
horse tanner, opened a weeks ex-
hibition here last evening. A large
audience was in attendance but just
as the performance was fairly start
ed, a long tier of seats containing
nearly 500 people collapsed and
precipitated the occupants to the
ground. Those on the upper seats
fell a distance of s feet and a num-
Der of persons were injured. The
accident caused so much excitement
that the show was postponed and
tickets were returned to all in at
tendance.
The performance is being given on
the vacant lots Immediately west of
the H. L. Spencer wholesale grocery.
The seats that that fell we're built
against the building. The entire
structure swayed to the north and
came down with a crash.
Among the injured we're:
Mr.. and Mrs. M. HI. Blanchard,
badly strained and bruised, but no
serious results feared.
Miss Pearle Reigle, limb badly hurt.
Thought at the time that bones were
broken but this proved to be untrue.
Miss Ada Porter, back strained.
Miss Porter had to be taken home in
a carriage and is still confined to her
bed. Injury may prove serious.
A long list of people we're bruised
and had arms and legs scratched
and strained, but so far as can be
learned none of them are seriously
hurt.
Prof. Gleason had only partially
finished tanning n horse when the
seats fell. but the exhibition thus far
was of sufficient merit to interest all
and astonish those familiar with the
difficulties of training unruly horses.
He had taken a horse that was given
to lunging and one that would not
stand while the driver got in and out
of the buggy. In a few minutes the
animal was convinced a master
had hold of the reins, and he be-
came perfectly quiet and gentle,
standing united while drums and tin
pans were beaten all about him.
Eight horses were on hand the first
night and al excellent entertainment
is assured. Prof. Gleason is known
as "America's King of Horse Tam
ers," and his horsemanship is truly
wonderful.
The seats will be rebuilt and will
be thoroughly tested and inspect
ed by competent judges, so that there
need be no fear on the part of any
one to attend the performance The,
grounds are nicely lighted, and the
entertainment is first class. The
seven men with Mr.. Gleason are all
, gentlemen, and are courteous and
efficient in their several capacities.
The falling of the platform was an
unfortunate affair. Prof. Gleason
contracted with VIM. Burnside &
} Son, and the work was done under
the supervision of Capt. Woodruff.
1t is hard to attach the blame to any
one as all parties concerned, in their
Judgment left nothing undone to
make the seats secure. Both of the
Burnside families and the two Wood
ruff families were present and were
on the seats at the time, which is
evidence that they felt sure the work
was we'll done.
