The Oskaloosa herald., 1900-08-30


w. o. Green, a brother of F. E.
Green, was seen. Hell s in the grocery
business and is enjoying his share OF
the prosperity of the city.
Frank Crater was found managing
a soda water establishment and has
a responsible and desirable position.
Monday following the party went to
Colorado Springs and about the first
persons seen there were Mr.. and Mrs.
George Bentley formerly well known
here. Mr.. Bentley is not in the best
of health. Mr.. and Mrs. Ward we're
also found at this place. They are
the proprietors and managers of the
Eiks Hotel, and are having about all
they can do at the present time.
The Will Howar party consisting
of Mr.. and Mrs. Howar and others
were seen. Mr.. Howar is getting
better rapidly and feels but little eff
feet of his recent sever illness.
Mr.. Terrell, a cousin of Thomas
and George Terrell, of this city, was
found. The gentleman has quite a
business in prospecting for miners.
John and ]. P. Jackson were found
in a mining and real estate business,
and they have prospered in the bust
ness that they have built up in that
city.
Then there was a very pleasant trip
to Mauitou where we're seen Mrs.
Frank Fitch, Eda Haskell, daughter
of Mrs. John Cowan, Mr.. and Mrs.
D. Davis and Mr.. and Mrs. Wiley,
who are in the west sojourning for
their health. All are having a pleas
ant time and are reluctant to think
of the home coming. From this place
there was a very delightful trip taken
to the Garden of the Gods, Cave of
the Winds, the Iron, Sulphur and
Soda Springs.
The Pixies Peak trip was of inter
est to a number of the crowd but
Mr.. Boyer contented himself with 60
ing only part of the distance and
then taking a glass, a spy glass, and
looking at the top and the people
moving thereon. Mr.. Boyer states
that all of these things are most in
teresting and beautiful sights to the
fellows that have been raised on the
prairie.
Colorado City was a place OF inter-
est and some delightful people are
to be found there in the persons of
Capt. j. w. Allen, an old ~veretan,
who is a prime entertainer. Mr.. and
Mrs. @. E. Corroran and DR.. God
frey r also excellent and most es-
Unable people of the city and they
extended every courtesy to the Boyer
party and gave them every attention
possible. The party went to Spin
ney and the Cascade took in the
flower excursion THAT is went to a
place where there r wild flowers
the year around Mountain
Falls, Cheyenne Canon, Seven Falls,
and the grave Helen Hunt Jackson
were seen. The visit to Cripple
Greek was interesting in the ex-
treme. Here is the place where the
mountains have been fairly honey
eombed by the miners in their search
for new strikes. The great Indepen-
dent mine was seen. Trip was taken
on the line of Colorado Midland rail-
road and was a pleasant journey.
And then down at Pueblo there was
another surprise. Here was seen
Col. Fred Wormley who was known
in this city in the hotel business with
Mr.. James Asher. He was 30 rejoiced
to Q his friend, Mr.. Boyer, that he
had no hesitation in running up to
him and giving him an embrace that
would have done credit to a returned
Philippine soldier creating his sweet
heart after several years separation.
Mr.. Wormley is hale and hearty and
is very glad to hear of his old town
and its people. He has retired from
business and is enjoying life as best
he may having won for competence
in that western state that will afford
him all the advantages desired.
Back to Denver again the party
found Mrs. E. P. Bolton and her
daughter Miss Dell, who will be re-
membered by many Oskaloosa peo-
pie. Mrs. B. is running a rooming
house at No 1904 Stout street and the
party were at her house during the
greater part of a week. The lady
has lost none of her graces during
her residence in the west and has
added considerably to her averdu-
pois, weighing in the neighborhood
of $50 pounds. Her daughter Miss
Dell, who was always a very attrac-
tive girl has developed into a very
charming young woman.
During this weeks stay in the
capital city it was developed,that the
Oskaloosa girls were greatly in de-
mand by the western gentleman and
Mr.. Boyer in all kindness would give
the home boys a tip that they will
have to get a move IN themselves or
the prizes will be lost. The warning
may even now be too late and if
some Of the school teachers do not
stay in the west it will not be long
before they will return to that state
for permanent residence. That is il
appearances are to be taken for any
