The county court has taken an OPP
tion on the Jack Evans farm in Nor
gan district and will buy the place be-
I Iefe very long ana use ii as a poor
farm. The price agreed upon for the
four hundred acres Is tifty dollars an
facre making the farm cost the county
twenty Thousand dollars. The option
was taken on Wednesday evening.
Commissioners Harner and Jenne.
wine were empowered by the court at
the last session TO act and they have
done so. A special meeting Of the
court will be called within the next
few weeks and the same will be con-
summated.
The present poor farm Is In Cass
district. 1t contains fifty acres.
The buildings. are Too small to accom-.
modate al who desire to be cared for
in the institution and fully as many
are left outside as are included with
| In its walls.
| Under this policy 1t has cost the
county great deal more TO care for
the poor than ii they were all togeth-
er. The total expenditures for The
poor OF the county amounts to about
six thousand dollars a. year, Commits.
sioner Harner says that the interest
on the value of the new farm will be
one thousand year and the place car
be operated at a cost TO the county oil
about two thousand more so that a
saving OF three thousand will be ef-
fected.
Possession of the new farm will be
taken IN April first and large hall
for the accommodation OF the poor
will AT once be begun. The removal
OF the inmates from the present farm
will take place before next fall
There IS timber enough on the place
which has been optioned to furnish
the needed lumber La the new house.
The structure will be OF brick but viii,
i'of course require a great deal Of lum-
Der as we'll.
It Ii Intended to sell the present
poor farm. The county has been Of
fered one hundred dollars an acre for
it but they think that they can get
twice as much as there are thre veins
OF coal under it and the surface Is
valuable. The construction Of the
new railroad will also influence the
vale OF the farm materially.
There are forty or more inmates of
the county farm and as many more are
being cared for outside OF the institu-
ton.

seems TO be, if ones olfaetory nerves
register correctly, very bad.
a prosecuting witness in case
that is on the docket for this term of
the court, appeared in the court room
in very badly intoxicated condition
Wednesday. Fortunately for himself
perhaps, the attention Of the officers
Of the court were directed elsewhere
during his entrance and exit from the
rOom
Sheriff Greenberry Barrickman's-
sounds through the court
room ike the rumble of thunder near
at hand; and the peculiar partof the
thing Is, that bis face the while. Is as
clear and placid as any summer sky.
One is not even sure that he did it,
unless you are looking at him when
the thing happens. A woman who
had some business in the court room
Wednesday after hearing the Sheriff's
thunder for the first time, and not in
terpretlng the meaning of the sounds,
regarded him very intently and with
great curiosity for some time, evident
ly under the misapprehension that he
was afflicted with some peculiar and
terrible malady.
The patience, affability, impartial
courtesy, and the simple dignity with
which judge j. NJ. Mason meets the
difficulties exigent to the disposition
of the many and diverse interests that
appear before the circuit court, is adj
mired by all.

Place Among the airls.
Since the advent of the girls into
the University of West Virginia
they have been crowding the young
men to the wall and taking many Of
the honors which before that time
we're claimed as the inalienable
property OF the lords of creation.
The men have had TO dig to keep in
sight of the women in the class room
and a decided improvement in class
standing has been manifest.
Not only have they gone into the
class room, literary societies and
other channels of University activ-
ity and taken the laurcls- but at
last they haye entered the list for
pre- eminence in something that has
all along been considered the do
main OF the men They have be-
come hazers
Isn't it dreadfu1g But really they
have. One of the lovely maidens
who is hunting higher education
has imbibed some knowledge that
has not been put down in the cata-
logue and for which she had no ma
circulation card. She was made to
do various stunts at the behest of O
party Of young women
1t is whispered that they made
her remove her shoes and stockings
and wade through box of mortar.
1t was very mortarfying to the dear
young thing. Her tootsie-woot-
sizes looked awful when she had fin
ished this charming act but the end
was not vet.
Taking her hair down in company
and forcing her TO sing until even
the hazers tired of the melody were
the next. things on the program.
Then the tormentoes relented and
allowed her to go home Whether she
removed the mortar or whether she
went home without removing it is
not related.
The idendity OF the hazer or of
the hazers could not be learned but
the recital of the evenings doings
was overheard by a mean newspaper
man who has taken the public into
his confidence in telling this story
of how the girls have been melted
to follow in the footsteps Of their
brothers who do not always set the
most commemorate examples.

the outlook at the university,
president Puriuton Is the right
man 10 the right place." said he ssiust
as everybody who knew him felt sure
he would be. The attendance is very
considerably increased SO far, and In
dications are more than favorable for
a greater increase before the end Of

sensions that have handicapped the
institution heretofore have all disap-
peared and everybody Is pulling one
way to make the school one OF the

CIRCUIT COURT.
Grist of Business at Temple of
Justice.

Everything is new Down to Business
Indictments Presented BY the Grand
Jury-Several Unimportant Cases
Disposed of-The Chicken Case De-
cided.
The case which claimed the greatest
amount OF interest in the circuit court
durino Wednesdays session, was the
trial b. jury OF Jesse Johnson, charged
with assault and battery by William
Morris. All of the interested parties
live near or in SteWartown.
The trouble, which brought about
the placing of Johnson on trial for
assault and battery, also furnished
the Grand Jury through witnesses of
the affair, with what they considered
enough evidence TO indict Lee Cole
bank for assault and battery, and
William Wilson and Harry Gasteel for
furnishing liquor to minor The
prosecution was In charge of Prosecut-
ing Attorney Chas. Goodwin. and the
defendants interests in the hands of
Cox and Baker The entire matter
from the beginning to the end, from
the testimony of all concerned in If,
was of the most trivial character, and
while a very mild breach of the Peace
may have and did actually occur, and
the law violated technically, no seri-
Gus disturbance really took place.
Six witnesses appeared for the de-
fence, and five for the prosecution, all
of whom gave their version Of the
boyish row that took place near Stew
artstoWn. The testimony OF all of the
witnesses agreed SO far, as that two
parties met on the road home, that
some blows were struck and that f.
nally the beligerents johnson and
Morris with their partisans separated
and went their various ways. Morris
with other witnesses appeared before
the Grand Jury at the June term of
court and the indictments as stated
above were presented. The whole
thing might be likened to game of
tag which having ended Ia some one
touching some one else last, Of course
he that was touched last was it-and
that ought to have ended the game.
AS it stands, the jury in the case de-
cided that the boy who got the other
one down twice wasn't it. The other
cases, were dismissed upon the recon-
mendation of prosecuting attorney.
GRAND JURY.
The grand jury Wednesday evening
presented the following indictments;
George Murray, assault with intent
to kill. Felony
Lloyd Morris, carrying a revolver.
Misdemeanor.
Harry Lennon, cruelty to animals.
Misdemeanor.
L. w. Conway, selling revolver to
minor. Msdemeanor.
Christopher Carrico, trespass to real
estate. Misdemeanor.

HOLIDAY APPEAL.
To the Generous Citizens of OsI6aIoosa,
Iowa.

The Dalvation Army of this city mp
peals for contributions of clothing,
shoes, fruits and toys for the poor
children in Oskaloosa.
The holiday season is near at band,
and generous impulses SHOULD, and
will fill the minds and hearts of those
who have and to spare. Let Is re-
member the little ones who are poor
and without fault of theirs, are large
ly deprived of the influence and the
pleasures of the gifts they should re-
ceive. On behalf of the helpless ones,
the Salvation Army, through the
agency of Capt. and Mrs, Ernest T,
Omann, by personal visitation TO
various homes in the city, have found
that unless aid is given, as urged in
this appeal, Christmas will not bring
it's gifts to them, but will only be a
reminder that they. are alone and ne
elected, while others have plenty.
This appeal is made from actual per-
sonal investigation, and the needs are
many. Give clovhing, shoes, fruit
and toys, so that the Salvation Army
may have upon it's Christmas tree a
generous gift to each one of these
needy ones, and you will do much for
them, and not depreciate your own
store. Any contributions will De
called for by mailing a card to Capt.
Omann, or can be left at tire Salvation
Army Hall, 500 High Avenue West.
The Army would like to nave some
cash contributions to provide for
things it will of necessity have to buy.
Remember a little from you means
much to us. These are your people
and your generosity is enlisted in
their behalf The Army will have it's
tree on Monday evening Dec. 30th, so
as not to interfere with the other
churches, and the generous public is
cordially invited to be present, and
see what great good is done among
the little ones in the humble walks of
life.
Yours sincerely in behalf of the
poor children of Oskaloosa.
Capt. and Mrs. Ernest Omann.
