Fine Apples Lost

The directors of the Farmers In
stitute are wroth over the loss of a
bushel of apples that were shown at
the court room during the week. The
apples were reserved from the sale
for the use of Mr.. W. D. Titus on az
count of favors rendered the insti-
tute. The gentleman placed the ap-
pies in a side room to save them
from the sale. The apples have dis
appeared and the directors are en-
deavoring to discover who may be
blamed for the disappearance. There
are number of people under sus-
picion. If it is discovered where the
fruit went it will go hard with the of
tenders. There have been several
people placed under suspicion of
having partaken of the fruit, but
where the blame is to be placed is a
question. The apples were the prop
erty of Hardin Tice and were the
finest that have been grown in the
county during the season.
1t is said that Cap Woodruff assisted
in the consumption of the fruit. Jim
Glass, j. t. Timbrell, J. o. Grant and
even Judge Scott are said to have
partaken OF the excellence of the
apples. But the fact remains that
the apples are gone and cannot be
found, and Mr.. Titus will have to
wait for another institute before he
will have another chance to get so
fine a collection OF apples.

during the year. His retention in the
position will give general satisfaction
and meet with general approval.
There was quite large attendance
of oskaloosa people during the sew
eral sessions of the meeting. The
citizens are always welcome. They
were very much in evidence at the
auctioning of the apples.
The personnel of the Madison
choir is Mile Cruzen, soprano Cora
Coffin, alto; Prof. Stevens, tenor and
Nick Vanderlinden, bass.
Tho attendance at the Institute has
been the largest in the history of the
organization. There were over one
thousand people crowded into the
Kalbach hall at the oratorical con
tests and the daily attendance has
averaged about 600. This is better
than the state institute.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. W. W. Montgomery has re-
turned from Wright, where she was
called Thursday by the death of her
niece, Nellie Grace, little daughter of
Mack and Anna Montgomery. The
little one, only months and days
old, after four days of suffering from
spinal trouble, was called to a more
beautiful home above, where the an
gels are, and where there is no more
suffering or pain. The Lord needs
such little gems to make up his jew
els. 1t is hard to give these precious
ones up when they have such pros
poets before them, but the Lord Civ
eth and He taketh away. These pre-
cious ones cannot come back to US,
but we can 60 to them if we live to be
ready when He calleth for us to come
home. What great joy there will be
in that meeting in Heaven. May we
ever be ready for the call. The fam
lily have the sympathy of the commun-
ity in their bereavement.
