One Chas. Whitsell took a horse
and buggy Sunday afternoon that he
found standing at the Congregational
church and was the property of fl.
w, Lyman. The man was in an in
toxicated condition and he found that
he could not manage the horse so he
called an acquaintance to assist him
stating that he had secured the rig at
the Quaker Livery. The friend took
the lines and drove the fellow out to
the edge of the city thinking to sober
him up bit before taking him to his
home. When Mr.. Lyman missed his
property he went to the police and it
was not long before Whitsel was ar
rested and placed in Jail and the rig
was returned to the owner. Whitsell
was called before His Honor, Mayor
Wray Monday morning and was
sentenced to thirty days in Jail. This
was the mans second offense.

Burlington Gazette: There is no
argument so infallible in determining
the absolute and rigid honesty of a
member of the United States senate
as by the amount of his earthly riches.
The entire estate left by John H. Gear
both in real and personal property,
amounts to less than $1,000. For
fifteen years he served in the con-
gress and senate of the United States.
In congress he was an important
member of the committee on ways
and means, a position which, in the
hands of some, leads to enormous
wealth. For years he was chairman
of the senate committee on Pacific
railroads, another position in which
the temptation to make the slightest
departure from the rigid paths of
rectitude meant a colossal fortune.
John II. Gear died poor man. What
better argument could be used2

M. Kenneth, only son of Mr.. and

and 81 days. Coos. Prime came from

two children, Mrs. Marie Bartlett and
M. Kenneth, born at Pleasant Ridge,
Madison township, February %, 1888,
where NJ Kenneth first entered school
and Sunday school, and was bright,
studious little boy. He moved with
his parents to suburban Oskaloosa in
1892 and entered the grade school
and had almost completed the High
school course. He was well known
and had many friends. He was con-
scientious member of the Y. M. O. A.,

service during his illness. He ex-
pressed a desire to the family that
the pastor of the First Presbyterian
church should conduct the funeral
service and that Company F of which
he was member, should have charge
of the burial.

The Knieppe craze of walking
barefoot in the dewy grass at early
morning, has been supplemented
with an innovation by two of Oska-
loosa's popular young ladies. They
were observed Thursday evening
after the hard rain, with raised skirts
and bare feet enjoying promenade
in the mud along a portion of North
Second street. Mud baths are known
to be beneficial to some forms of
rheumatism, but it was not thought
to be beautifier of young ladies'
pedal extremities.

THE NEW MINES.
Fifty Years Supply of Coal in
Sight at Buxton.

The Des Moines Leader the other
day contained the statement that the
mines in the Muchakinock field were
playing out, and that the Northwest
ern railroad was running short OF
coal supply in Iowa. The Leader
may know pretty well what is going
on in Des Moines, and guess at state
house happenings, but 1t is woefully
ignorant.of the Muchakinock field of
coal.
The old field in the immediate vi
entity of Muchakinock is good for
several years yet, and the new field
of 5000 acres which has just been
tapped by shaft No. 10, viii supply
the railroad with it's present de-
mands for the next fifty years. The
coal is of excellent quality, and the
veins are of the thickest and best in
Iowa.
The new town of Buxton, which
will eventually supplant Muchaki-
mock, is already quite village, and
is the freshest and brightest munich
pality in this section. The wood
work of thirty houses is already
complete, and as soon as they are
plastered, will be ready for occu-
pancy. Seventy more win be built
at once by Henry Wetherell, who
has the contract to erect one hum
dred of them. The houses will be
complete in every way and viii be
comfortable and commodious. They
were designed by F. e. Wetherell,
who also drew plans for the new
store building, which viii be 44x120.
with an Office addition 4Ox4O.
Shaft No. 10, Of which VIM. CAL
vert is pit boss, is moving along
nicely and will prove model mine.
The entries are now being driven
and two shifts of men are pushing
the work with dispatch. Though
only the necessary amount of coal
is being removed to set timbers, ETC.,
the output is already about 30 tons q
day. This coal is being hauled by
team to Lovilla, pending the compile
ton of the Northwestern extension,
which is being pushed with all pos
sible speed.
The work on the new shaft and
town, together with the building of
the railroad and telegraph and tele-
phone lines, is giving employment
to hundreds of men and teams and
the country from Muchakinock to
Bluff Greek is studded with camps of
workmen. The entire aspect of the
country in that section will be
changed, and long before show flies
the big switch engines of the North
western will be pulling coal over one
of the most complete railroads in
the state. Two big bridges will be
necessitated, oneto cross the Iowa
Central and Rock Island tracks and
Muchakinock creek, all in bunch,
between Givin and Eddyville, and
one across the Des Moines river
above Eddyville.
The entire investment, including
the coal land and development and
the railroad, will reach well up to
the million mark, and proves pretty
conclusively that the Muchakinock
coal field is not going to play out
this summer anyway.

SUICIDE
Jessie Jones Drinks carbolic Acid
But Still Lives.

Miss Jessie Jones, colored, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Jones, residing
at No. 41s Forth Fifth street, took
carbolic acid this morning with in
tent commit suicide. She had diluted
the acid to such an extent that the
dose was not fatal and the PROF pt
attention of physicians will probably
save her life.
The cause of the, act cannot be
learned. The girl will not talk and
will not answer question that are put
to her. The parents of the girl are
at a loss to understand the actions of
the girl. There has been no note of
explanation left by the girl that has
been found and they know of no
trouble that would cause the child
to commit self destruction.
The girl went into the kitchen
about o'clock this morning and
prepared the dose in a tin cup. A
little brother of the girl was in the
kitchen and saw sister drink some
thing that made her lips turn white.
He asked what it was and then the
girl started up stairs in staggering
manner and went to her room. A
little sister saw that there was som e.
thing wrong as also did the mother
who followed her to her bed room.
The girl sat on the bed with her eyes
closed and would not talk. The
mother acted promptly and soon had
Drs. Fitch and Terrell at the girls
bedside and they administered anti
dotes that will bring the girl around
all right.

Warrants were issued from the Of
fee of Justice Stanley Monday m orn-
ing for the arrest of Pearl and Ray
Brown charged with malicious mis-
chief. On June 80, "Billy" McKin-
ney drove to Mauch Chunk to the
post office and the lads charged with
the misdemeanor were discharging
fire crackers and throwing the same
beneath the team mentioned. Mr..
Mckinney asked the boys not
to do so as it was frightening his
horses but they paid little heed to
his request and continued to fire the
crackers. The animals became
frightened and ran away breaking
the carriage to which they were
hitched and damage to the amount
of 500 is said to have resulted.
