HONOR THEIR DEAD.
Woodmen of the World Unveil
Five Monuments.

Sunday was ''unveiling day" with |
the Oskaloosa lodge of the Woodmeu |
of the World. After special services
five monuments in Forest cemetery,
at the graves of departed sovereigns,
were unveiled.
There is provision in the laws of
the order for the erection of a monu-
ment at the grave of each departed
brother. Within the past eighteen
months four monuments have been
erected in Forest cemetery for the
lodge and one of the deceased broth
ers of Oskaloosa lodge lies buried in
Eddyville. 1t was to formally unveil
these monuments that Sunday, Octo-
Der 20, had been set aside by the
lodge and special services arranged
for.
A large attendance took part in the
services. The parade was formed at
the Woodman hall, and headed by the
Iowa Brigade band the line of march
to the cemetery was taken up. There
were about seventy.fve brothers of
the Oskaloosa lodge in line and dele
gates from the lodges at Ottumwa,
Fremont, Leighton, Bussey and Sears
boro raised the number of members
in attendance to over one hundred.
W. J. Anderson, of Des Moines,
| state deputy of the organization of
Woodmen of the World, was the mas
ter of ceremonies of the day, and it
was under his direction that the rit-
ualistic part of the service was car
ried out. 1t was a beautiful and i'm
pressive service and was witnessed
! by large crowd that had followed
the procession to the cemetery or that
was in waiting.
Rev, Sleigh, of Omaha, had been
secured for the memorial address and
it was one that will be ever present
in the minds of all who heard it. The
address was delivered at the grave of
the lamented Thomas Davis, ex-dep-
uty sheriff of Mahaska county.
The names of the departed brothers
for whom the unwilling was observed
and the handsome stones given as
markers to their last resting place
we're: Harry L. Edwards, DR.. Horace
G. Parry, Thomas Davis, Hugh A.
Gum, Harry Richardson.
Harry L. Edwards was Inferred in
Eddyville and the service over his
grave was by proxy.
Harry Richardson had membership
at Cedar Rapids and was brought to
Oskaloosa for interment. The Oska-
loosa lodge acted for the Cedar Rap
ids lodge in the unwilling of this
monument,

RICH LEAD FIND.
Another Source of Wealth in
Proud Mahaska.

While having a deep we'll sunk on
his place in White Oak township,
John Quigley. struck a vein of lead
ore twelve inches thick. The lead is
located in a rock trata, us feet un-
der ground and il said to be as thick
a vein as is usually found. Mr.. Quig-
lev sent some of the ore to Chicago
to have it assayed, but the report has
not been made public. 1t is signifi-
cant, however, that some of the Of
ficials of the Northwestern Railroad
together with some Chicago capital
lists came out in a special car and
stopped at Qutgley's place and made
a thorough Investigation. Causal
prospecting has revealed the fact that
the vein covers a large area and is
valuable. If paying lead mines are
opened there, Tioga is likely to be-
come an important town on the map,
and the manifold riches of Mahaska
county viii be augmented by new
source of wealth.

SMALL BOY SUSPECT.
alleged Theft and Fraud PeTpetrated
by YOuBgsGer.

A quiet search is being made about
the ty for a small boy who seems
to show quite tendency toward
thieving. A lady left pocket book
at the Hedge Wilson store few days
ago to have it marked. The boy in
question came in shortly afterwo rds
and after he had left it was
noticed that the pocket book
had also disappeared The clerks
are sure no one else was in the store
and that the pocket book was lying
in plain sight on the counter. The
boys name could not be ascertained
but an accurate description was given
Of him and a search was instituted.
The same day boy answering to
his description brought music book
into the Covel store claiming that
the clerk had given him the wrong
one. The change was made but it
was afterward found that the book
returned had been used some time
and was full of pencil marks and
o. her scratches. Nothing has result
ed from the search as yet.

B. & w. AGGRESSIVE.
Builds a Track ON a Disputed Right
of Way

Burlington, Oct % A great sensa-
ton has been caused by the Burling
ton & Western narrow gauge road
building a track on the right of way
granted by the city council to the
Muscatine North & South railroad.
1t Is claimed the move was intended
to block the new road from entering
the city, while the B. & W. officials
contend they are simply occupying
an old right of way granted them by
the city council in 1875. Much indig-
nation is expressed by citizens and
many threats we're made of tearing
up the tracks. The matter will lead
to litigation, but will undoubtedly be
adjusted in satisfactory manner to
all concerned.

OVERCOME BY HEAT.
Engineer Cation Frustrated While at
Work at Lacey.

with all the extra work done on
the Iowa Central there were no &C.
cidents of any kind to trains, not
wheel being off during the day, says
the Times Republican. One Of the
engineers, Tom Cation, of this city,
became overheated at Lacey, and
was brought to this city on No. 3, at
1:15 this morning, and removed in
an ambulance to his home, 307
West Nevada street. Engineer Cation
went south on first 81 Sunday after
noon, pulling Conductor Clifford.
When Lacey was reached the dump
CRATE of his engine fell down and he
was working to fix it. The excessive
neat, smoke and fumes of gases were
too much for him, and he became
Frustrated. He was very i'll, even to
the time of his arrival home, but his
condition is reported greatly inn
proved today.

FINISHING WORK.
Improvements to Central Road
bed About Completed.

II good weather continues, as the
present prospects indicate that it will,
Nov. is will fnd the Iowa Central
railroad Hxed in the best condition
for the onslaught of the storms of
winter that il has ever been in its
history. By the 18th prox. it is es-
timated that all of the 100000 worth
of Improvement in trackage and road
bed will have been completed, that is,
all that has been laid out for com
pletion this season. The conditions
for it's completion have been of the
most favorable kind, and, in fact,
nearly every thing is under compile
tiou now About the only work that
is dragging is that on Lacey hill, a
twenty seven-foot cut, one mile in
length, now in progress. The work
of cutting down the Dillon Hill is also
not quite finished, but will be some
tune betw, en- the 1st and 10Th of
November. This cut is 2 300 feet long
and six feet in depth. With the New
burg hill all completed, and all ready
for ballasting, which will be begun
on Wednesday, this gives the Central
a roadbed with no grades whatever
between MarshalItown and Griunell.
There is still, however, one bad grade
and that is the ruling one on the
north division, known as School
house HILL" six miles and fraction
in length and running all the way
from the G. & NJ. junction, just out of
Grinnell, to Searsboro. The grade is
a steady one, running north, and is
full of curves. That work won't be
touched at all until next season, and
to obviate the difficulty the building
of track around the hill, tor use
until it is cut down, il contemplated.
If such is done the building of be-
tween six and eight miles of track
will be necessary Another matter
that has been looked after carefully
by the road department is the widen
ing of all cuts, which always cause
trouble during the winter months by
filing with snow and blockading
trains. Besides the widening of the
cuts all have been di ched for drain
age, so that the spring rains and
melting SHOWS will not cause a soft
| track.

who recently removed to this city
from What Cheer has been the cause
of this great change. The young lady
is a talented mueician. a graduate of
the musical department of the Con-
vent of the Sacred Heart at Omaha.
She was engaged to teach a couple
of pupils at the town going there
two times a week. First this one L.
sired to have instructions of the
young lady and then that one solic-
tied her assistance until now she
finds herself fairly overwhelmed with
musical pupils and has class num-
boring seventeen persons and several
new applicants. There are Dung folks
and old folks, married and single
who are eager for the music and
among the most likely students are
a couple of little colored pupils who
are showing marked improvement
and progress in their work. The
young lady is much pleased with her
class and speaks in complimentary
terms of the work being done by a
number of the students.
