Prof. q. d. Jones of Emporia, Kan
sas, who was in the city for a num-
Der of days last week and who Of
ficiated as one of the adjudicators
on music at the Christmas Eistedd-
fod, held in this city on Christmas
Day, is an enthusiastic supporter of
the Eisteddfod idea and he states
| that the Oskaloosa annual festival
can be made State institution that
will bring choirs into the city from
all the better cities of the state. He
claims that there should be larger
field of competition and that there
should be larger prizes offered
for the greater numbers on the pro-
gram. He cites the Hutchinson an
nual Eisteddfod in support of his as
sertions.E The Eisteddfod in this city
was started!as result of the Worlds
Fair Eisteddfod, and it has grown in
size and,interest until there are now
four days of theIevent devoted to the
competitions. All the larger business
men of the city are interested in the
work, for in the Eisteddfod they
recognize factor%that brings into
the city more:people and the result
ant spending of more money than
does anysother affair of the year. 1t
is an institution that attracts people
from allTparts of the state and is
worthymoreIto town than a state
fair wouldibe. There are prizes of
five hundred dollars on the chorus
competition in this Eisteddfod and
the institutional IS never yet failed
to pay expenses. TheImanagement
is under the direction of stock COM
pany composed of the business men
of the city, and Mr.. Jones sees no
reason why the same thing cannot BIO
brought about in this city if the bus
inesslmen can be brought to see the
benefits that will derive from a sue
cessful stock management.
Oskaloosa has been very liberal in
her supporter the Eisteddfod, both
as to cash and patronage, and Oska-
loosa is the place, therefore, where
the Annual State Eisteddfod should
be held. 1t is matter that should be
taken up Immediately, an organiza-
ton perfected and thoroughly ad-
verified over the state.

slant Death.

John ID. Nelson, No. 1116 First Ave.
west was seriously injured Friday
night about $3.50 o'clock at the coal
chutes, and indeed very narrowly
escaped death. Nelson, who is en-
ployed in the Iowa Central round
house, went with the engineer of the

CINE. One of the pockets of coal
came down into the tender before
Nelson was ready for it and he was
buried under four tons of fuel that
came tumbling out of the pocket.
Nelson was doubled up and his limbs
were terribly twisted and he suffered
much pain before he could be released.
The engineer was powerless to help
Nelson without assistance and he
blew the engine whistle for help.
Nelson was partially paralyzed and
is quite severely injured. He was
taken to his home and is being wait
ed on by DR.. Clark.

NO FISH WAY.
Bonaparte Dam Case Decided
Against State.

Ottumwa, Dec. 3O.-Judge Eichel-
berger to-day rendered his decision
in the famous Bonaparte dam case,
holding against the state. This means
that the Meeks' Brothers will not be
compelled to put a fish-way in their
dam at Bonaparte on the Des Moines
river. 1t was held that as the dam
was purchased from the state, and
that it stands to-day as it did when
sold by the state, the state has no
right to demand the improvement.
The case is of interest to everybody
in the Des Moines valley.

PETTY THIEVING. There is an un.
usual amount of pilfering and petty
thieving being done in the city and
the police seem powerless to stop the
work of the parties concerned. Coal
houses and wood sheds are entered
and fuel isGtaken, almost in wagon
loads; barns and other out buildings
have been ransacked and things of
value have been taken. There seems
to be no security against the thieves
for locks have proven no barrier to
their work. Some of the people who
have suffered repeatedly on account
of the thieves assert that there will
be some one with load of shot in
their flesh some night if the visits are
not discontinued.
