The project for putting lot of money
into the Des Moines river between Des
Moines and Ottumwa is looked upon by
many as visionary and the projectors as
little less than insane. The commercial
bodies of this city have been urged to
take it up and father the enterprise, but
they are not likely to do so. The condi-

ly for years a we'll to do farmer and
stock man of jefferson township,
Mahaska county, but now in the mer-
camille business at Selden, Kansas,
drove over to the new town of Bux-
ton. Our first stop was at Eveland E,
at the hospitable home of Thomas
Moore, where we enjoyed a splendid
dinner and a two hours stay with
this pleasant family. Eveland is a
coal town with one store and the
post office; Mr.. Johnson is the oblig-
ing Nasty and runs the store. There
are about twenty houses in this place.
They have a daily mail and a switch
running from the Q. & N. W. rail-
way. From here a short drive
brought us to the new and beautiful
coal town of Buxton, named after
the superintendent of the mine. We
found the neatest and largest town
ever seen in Iowa. There are over
200 houses, including store, offices,
barns, ice house and all kinds OF
necessary buildings to make a first
class coal town.
The first gentleman we met that we
knew was II. A. Armstrong, better
known as Hobe the leading fast horse
man for years at Muchakinock. He
informed us that he was making ar
rangements to move to Buxton. We
called at the company store to see
our old friend w A. Wells, but he
was in Chicago buying goods. Our

days. A dress was dress In those
days and one Sunday dress was con-
sidered sufficient for the whole year,
and longer, if not outgrown, as w8s
also the case with "bonnets"
Girls hats were never even dream
ed of and should one have suggested
the idea she would have been quick
ly stigmatized as "bold piece" in
deed. How fondly / remember my
little white dress with its small sprig
of berries and how glad and happy
was for the privilege of attending
Sunday school, though our way was
not without its risks and dangers,
esp ecially from the rattlesnake.
Armed with a stout stick to kill
snakes and to brandish in the face of
any believing leader of the grazing
herd we might meet on our way, my
little brother Laban and l would set
out on the old Buffalo trail across the
pasture to the cow path through the
prairie grass, long, coarse stuff that
waved far above our heads, on our
two mile walk to the little log school
hou SO nestled among the trees on the
hill. Our Sunday school met only in
summer time, and always went
barefoot until within few yards of
the door, when from a package I'M
der my arm would unroll my white
stockings, embroidered ''pantaletts"
and morocco slippers and in the
shade of a certain wild cherry tree
beside the road would don them and
soon come forth fully clothed Shoes
like dresses were not to be had for
the asking and my precious "mo-
roccos" were far too dainty for so
long a walk. At the return start the
divesting process was enacted under
the same friendly tree after others
travelling the same way has gone on
a little in advance. Where is the
child of today would attend Sunday
school under similar circumstances
The world is wide and of that little
Sunday school band, some have
drifted toward it's four corners. Some
went out to battle and never return
ed, while the teachers almost without
exception have long since exchanged
the cross for the crown. Others yet
abide in the selfsame hamlet as time
honored citizens and are gray headed
grandparents this many day.
OF my class mates, my beloved
friend, Mrs. Susannah Gayheart Else
has for thirty years been resting with
the saints, and our teacher Mrs.
Eliza Johnson, was near the same
period called to her reward.
Two still reside near the scenes of
their youth, Mrs. Eliza Pomeroy and
Mrs. Elizabeth trout, who will bear
out the testimony given this day

The court house steps was the scene

Carver was standing with some other
men discussing President McKinley's
death. He seemed to make light of
the tragedy somewhat and said that
he was but common man. Hundreds
of men had been shot and died and
this was no greater death than others.
He stated that he would defend and
uphold Czolgosz against mob violence
as quickly as he would any citizen of
the United States. Jake Spates and
Henry Tullis engaged in the argu-
ment and took exception.to the state
ments made by Carver. Spates want
ed to lick Carver and offered to put
the money upin Jack Hensyl's hands
that he could do it. Carver made
some remark upon this not to the
liking of Hensyl, who Immediately
proceeded to use his fists upon Carver.
Hensyl was taken off by friends who
endeavored to quiet him but he re-
turned and took couple OF parting
