MAHASKA COUNTY.
Mrs. Semira A. Phillips History of the
County Ready for Distribution.

Mrs. Semire A. Phillips History of
Mahaska County and its people has
been received from the publisher and
is now ready for distribution. The
book is a splendid work of history,
fast and "Reminiscences of the people
of the county. The matter is written
in sort of story form and is inter
esting from the start to the closing
chapter.
Mrs. Phillips was over two years in
the preparation of the work and in
the course of the narrative she has
mentioned more than a thousand peo-
pie who have been and are of the city
and county. The writer tells of many
things of interest, from the first fire
in the city and the famous bear sup
per at the Downing hotel in 1913, to
the more recent events of the history
of the day.
The book has about 400 pages. 1t
opens with the year 1888 and closes
with beautiful tribute to the authors
dead son, Quincy. The book will be
of living interest to all who have had
part in the formative days of town
and county, and we predict a demand
for it that will soon exhaust the edi-
ton.
The book will sell for 50. 90, and can
be had at the residence of the author,
No. 316 South Market street. 1t is a
valuable work and should be in every
home in Mahaska county.

ATTEMPTED HOLD UP.
Two Young Men Defeat the Purpose of
Two Burly Tramps.

Floyd Grill and Frank Cummings,
two young men living east of the city,
were held up Saturday night about
midnight at the east end of High
avenue by a couple of burly tramps.
The holdup was rather an attempt,
however, for the young men Caught
on" to the purpose of the ruffians
and whipped up their horse with suf-
ficient energy to get away from the
fellows. The young men continued
their course east to the turn in the
road, crossed north to the Iowa City
road and came back to the city and
reported the matter to the police.
Officer O'Brien went to the scene of
the trouble and on looking around in
the vicinity of the attempted hold-up
stumbled over the fellows lying fiat
in sort of ditch at the side of the
road. They were evidently waiting
to attempt an entrance into some of
the residences in that part of the
city. When discovered they pre-
tended to be in beastly state of in
toxication and would answer nothing.
Officer O'Brien, however, used his
discourager of hesitancy and the fell
lows were marched to the city bastile
at the point of gun. They soon re-
gained perfect soberness and in
pleading for their liberty stated that
they belonged to the Forepaugh-Sells
Brothers circus and that they were
just waiting to catch the trains
through this city en- route to Mar
shalltown. They may be the parties
who went through the Montgomery
and Dunsmore residences. Officer
O'Brien is to be congratulated on his
plucky and determined stand before
the fellows and the successful capture.

B. & W. ACCIDENT.
Two Men Killed at HedrIck Saturday
Evening.

Hedrick, June 3O.-Two men were
instantly killed by Narrow Guage
passenger train No. % at the cross
ing about block west of the station
here this evening. The train was
slowing up for the station about $50
when two men in a farm wagon
started across. They paid no heed
to the warning signal, and drove
right in the face of death. Engineer
Ed Mohr, of Burlington, was at the
throttle, but the distance was too
short to stop the train, and the en-
CINE struck the wagon with full mo-
mentnm.
Both men we're thrown out, the
wagon was demolished and one of
the men, Oliver Mckinney, was killed
instantly. The other, whose name
could not be learned, died within a
few minutes. Conductor Willis
backed the train to the scene of the
accident and the dead bodies were
taken in charge by the station agent.
An inquest will be held Monday.

uncle, informed Miss Weeks of the

BIRTHS AND DEATHS.
Variations of Population as Told by
Official Records.

The statistics of the births and
deaths in the county for the past year
have been made up in the Office of
County Clerk r. K. Davis and the
following figures are cleaned from
the reports.
There were 571 births in the county
during the year 1899; 2S5 of these
were males and 2s6 were females.
There were seven pairs of twins born
OF all this number but three were
named Dewey"
There were only 200 deaths re-
ported for the year, but the clerk has
reason to believe that the report is
not complete. For instance there was
but one death reported for the city
of Oskaloosa during the months of
January and February, and but 26
deaths are reported from the city for
the entire year. OF the 200 deaths
reported lis were males and SO were
females.
