A AND O%SKALOOSA.
Trouble Between the two Colleges
brought TO an end.

Des Moines Capital: The announce
ment that at the annual election of
trustees of Drake University, held at
commencement time, the alumni of
Oskaloosa College of the years pre-
vious to 1881, will vote, has more in
terest in it than might be supposed
from the bare statement. The old
feeling bet ween the school never died
out, until the college at Oskaloosa
died itself, gatter graduating its last
scholars in June of 1898. 1t was then
eighteen years since some of the
founders and leading men of the
college decided their work could be
carried on to greater advantage, If
the seat of learning were situated in
Des Moines.E Being under the con-
troll of the Christian churches of the
state, Drake University vas from the
first generously supported by the
members of the church, and it was
thought that the college at Oskaloosa
would gracefully give way to the new
and better school. But there was
some bitter feeling engendered,
which ranked in the minds of some
of the residents of Ossaloosa, who
naturally wished that the school with
it's benefits to the community might
be kept in their town. So, though its
resources, faculty and attendance
were greatly crippled the college
struggled on until it was able to
struggle no longer.
When articles of incorporation for
Drake w%ere!taken out it was one of
the specifications that all alumni of
the year 1881 and previous should be
considered as alumni of the univer-
sity. Owing to the feeling that has
all along existed, and the fact that
the college received scholars, advan-
tage of theIprivileges of alumni were
never sought mol were they thrust
upon them. Since the feeling has
died out with the lives of the ones
who supported the smaller school
and the college is itself defunct, the
alumni will be received in full fellow
ship, as it were, among those OF
Drake. They will be urged to be pres
e 1T at the annual meeting this year,
when business of Importance will be
transacted relative to the endown-
meat fund, and the two trustees
allowed from the alumni will be
chosen. Oskaloosa college was in
existence just twenty years, before
the division came, and there were on
it's roster of graduates some two
hundred ames Some of these have
died, or their addresses are unknown,
but it is expected that alarge addition
will be made to the alumni of Drake
by their presece in June.

IOWA MINERS.
Effort to Introduce Politics I'm COnven-
ton Turned Down.

Ottumwa, Feb. 23.-The miners
convention was in session but a short
time yesterday. None of its commit
tees were ready to report, and after
listening to speeches from James Bos-
ton, member of the national board,
from Illinois, and a communication
from a local socialists society, in
which they asked to be allowed to adj
dress the meeting, the convention ad-
journed until 9 O'Clock to-day. The
socialist application was turned down
with a hard thump, the convention
stating that it was here for work and
not to mix up in politics. Last night
the delegates were entertained at a
banquet, at which the leading citizens
of the city were present and several
toasts were given.

FURNITURE STORE.
Shoemake & Nelson Will Open
in the Phinney Building.

M. L. Shoemake, of this city, and
Alb Nelson, of Evans, have formed a
partnership to date from March 1sr,
and will engage in the furniture and
hardware and stove business, hand
ling both new and second hand
goods.
The new firm has rented the west
room of the Harry Phinney block
and will use this place for the new
stock of furniture. The room now
occupied by Mr.. Shoemake will be
devoted to stoves and a stock of gen.
eral hardware, miners tools, sup
plies, etc.
Mr.. Nelson, the junior partner of
the business, is well known in the
county, and especially in the wes-
tern part, having been located in the
mining work in the west during the
past eight years.
Mr.. Shoemake needs no introduc-
ton to the people of the city. He
engaged in business in the city of
Oskaloosa in 1858, opening a little
grocery store on the corner of the
square now occupied by the Oska-
loosa Dry Goods Store, and he has
been in business of one line or an
other ever since that date.
1t looks as though business was
moving west on First avenue, as
well as in some other directions.
The new firm will have the best wish
es of many friends in the city.

HOSPITAL MEETING.
Board Appoints a Committee to
Fully Investigate College
Proposition

There was a meeting of the Ma
haska County Hospital Board Friday
evening in the supervisors' room in
the court house, and the proposition
of the Oskaloosa College trustees
was thoroughly canvassed. There
were opinions concerning the propo-
sition pro and con and there were
various opinions as to the course
that should be pursued with refer
ence to the very generous offer of
the college people.
There is no question as to the value
of the land offered, but there is con-
siderable diversity of opinion as to
the building itself 1t was almost
the unanimous opinion that the
building was not suitable for the pur-
poses of a hospital, but it is very
possible that it could be suitably ar
ranged.
Mr.. George Sewers, of the Iowa
Central, vas present, and talked
upon the question and through his
words the determination to have a
hospital in the city was given addi-
tional strength. He stated that he
had been making the hospital ques-
ton a special study since the medical
department of the road had been
placed under his supervision and
that he had arrived at the conclusion
that the best place for the establish
ing of a place for the care of the
company's charges was at Oska-
loosa, and he therefore was very de-
sirous of seeing the hospital plans Of
the city carried to an issue.
1t was finally decided that there
should be a thorough investigation
made of the property that is placed
at the disposal of the hospital peo-
pie. 1t is desired that something OF
the cost of remodeling the place and
putting it in fit shape for a hospital
be known, and to that end the work
will be carefully directed.
The committee appointed was as
follows:
John R, Barnes,
Sam Baldauf,
j. O. Barringer,
Geo. w. Sewers,
E. II. Gibbs,
M. O'Carroll,
F. E. Wetherell,
W. O. Sheppard.
The committee will make a very
careful investigation into the project
from a business standpoint and re
port at a meeting that will be hello
some time next week.
1t appears that interest in the hos
pital is continually on the increase
and that the plans fostered by the
Woman's Club are soon to bear fruit

Tramps Fight.

A couple of "Weary Willies" en-
gagged in a hand to hand encounter in
the south Iowa Central yards Friday
evening yer who should have choice
place for a free ride. The scrap was
fast and furious and knock downs
were scored on both sides and blood
was credited to both contestants.
Meantime the train pulled out and the
vags were left. They finally shook
hands and went off arm in arm in the
direction of the old pork house, as
good friends as though there had been
no show of physical proves.

NEGRO BITTEN BY a MOCCAs1N,
Fangs Sunk Deep Into Thumb While
at Work,

A vicious highland moccasin scored
yesterday morning with negro farm
hand, 81 Ross, as it's victim. Ross was
taking up fodder on the Johnson place,
two miles from the city, when the snak c
struck him upon the thumb. The
highland moccasin is one of the most
venomous of snakes found here, and
the negro's arm began swelling i'm
mediately. He suffered intensely from
the wound but bound it up and came
TO town to consult q physician.
