The funeral services of the late
Christian q. Halt were largely attended,
his pastor, Martin l.. Peter, officiating.
Mr.. Halt came to Indiana in 1866 and
with the exception of about three years,
he lived on the farm where he died,
since that time. Mr.. Halt moved into
the woods west of where Lspsz now
stands. by his industry he cleared cne
field after the other and at the time of
his death he owned one of the best
farms in North township. His loss
will be felt. He was regular attend

borhood good neighbOr.
His mortal remains were laid away

ANOTHER HOLD-UP
Farmer is Relieved of Watch
and Money.

A farmer of the county sold his
farm last week and came to the city
to settle the matter. He took a drop
too much Saturday evening and went
to places that he would not have
gone to under other circumstances,
SO claims the victim. In some way
and at some time during the spree
the victim made the acquaintance of
a woman. The next chapter in the
story shows the farmer in a justice
court swearing out a warrant for the
arrest of the woman on the ground
that his gold watch and some money
had been taken. The woman in the
case was found, arrested, pleaded
not guilty, and in default of bond
was sent to Jail.
In the meantime the farmer reports
that his watch and his money have
been found and returned to him. 1t
is said that the return was made
through the, agency of a gambling
place. The farmer is greatly DESTROYS
of having the matter kept quiet and
it is likely that the case will be dis
missed.

PREPARE TO LEAVE.
Foreign Governments Getting Ready
to Reduce Their Forces
at Picking.

Peking, March 4.-The American
preparations for departure are going
actively forward. All supplies. except
enough for two companies, have been
packed and marked for Manila. The
British plans contemplate a summer
along the Pei-Ho and a general with
drawal of forces to India. leaving be-
hind by next winter half a battalion of
Welsh fusiiiers as a legation guard in
Picking, together with an Indian regi-
ment to guard the railroad. The Ger
mans show few signs of intention to
depart, but they are endeavoring to sell
$4,000 American and Australian horses,
as well as a quantity of camels. 1t is
reported that the French intend TO
Withdraw most of their forces, leaving
one infantry brigade, a regiment of
cavalry and some artillery to protect
the French legation and to guard the
lines of communication. A part of this
force, it is understood, will be en-
ployed to guard the Franeo-Belgian
railroad from Peking to Pao4ting-fu.
In French military circles it is freely
asserted that the French intend to send
a force to be stationed permanently at
Hankow and to guard the other end
Of the Lu-Han railroad, 100 kilometers
of which have been completed. More
definite information on this point is
awaited with anxiety by the British,
who regard such an intention with Sc
rious misgiyings. because calculated to
bring about complications with the
Yaug-Tse v~ieeroys, if for no other rea-
son.
The japanese have decided to with
draw their troops during March and
to replace them by 1000 fresh troops,
500 Of whom will be posted here. AS
a result of the conspicuous diver
gence in the attitude of the powers,

ginning.

siderable damage to the wood work.
The loss will be in the neighborhood
of $500 with partial insurance. The
flames caught the corner of the Dun
can photo gallery next north and
there was a slight damage there.
The fire alarm was sounded a little
after II O'Clock midnight Sunday
morning and the fire company was
called to the colored restaurant on
@ street north of the old Bump livery
barn. This fire was also started by
the flames that originated in a leaky
gasoline stove. The prompt action
of the owner of the place Mrs. Matt
Stapleton, saved the place and there
was very little damage aside from the
loss of a bed quilt.

HOSPITAL ACCEPTS.
Will Take Oskaloosa College for
a Site.

At a meeting of the Board of Man
agement of the Oskaloosa Hospital
held in the court house Friday night,
it was unanimously decided to ac-
cept the Oskaloosa College building
and grounds as a site for the hospit-
al, paying therefore the~s1 500 asked
by the college.
The report of the examining COM
mittee was made by Architect F. E.
Wetherell and it was to the effect
that the ground and salvage from the
old building would be worth from
81, 900 to $4,000. His idea was that it
would be best to tear the old building
down, and rebuild a more modern
structure from the old material. The
roof floors and plastering would have
to be new in either case, so that for
the additional cost of rebuilding a
more suitable structure could be had.
AS the building now stands there is
no basement, a thing that is abso-
lutely necessary in a hospital. The
old building could be torn down and
the brick all cleaned for about 5000.
The cost of a new structure would,
all told, be about $40 900 less the
salvage from the old building which
would be from 50, 900 to $4,000. No
plan for building was decided upon,
but the Philanthropic Department of
the Woman's club was empowered to
begin the work of raising subscrip-
ton for the enterprise. This organic
alton already has $1,000 in bank and
they started the subscription with
that amount. This will be used in
buying the new site.
Two committees were then ap-
pointed, one to have the Board in
corporated under the state laws, and
another to confer with the Board of
Supervisors relative to having a
county department or interest in the
new institution. The committee on
conference with the board was made
up as follows: E. H Gibbs, G. w.
Sewers, DR.. Barringer, F. E. Weth-
erell and Father O'Carroll. On in
corporation: Judge Blanchard, w.
r. Lacey, Liston McMillen and CIV.
Sewers.
The secretary vas instructed to
notify the trustees of Oskaloosa Ool-
lege that their offer had been accept
ed and the meeting adjourned.

BUILD NEW ROAD.
Rock Island Will Have New
Line to Trenton.

1t has been practically decided that
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railroad will begin the construction
of a new line between Eldon and
Trenton, Mo-, as soon as spring
opens. The purpose Of this new
line is to shorten it's Chicago-Kansas
City route to an ex tent where they
can successfully compete with other
lines. When this cutoff is completed
the Rock Island will have as short a
line between the two commercial
centers as any, with the exception of
the Sante Fe.
For the past year engineers have
been at work between Eldon and
Trenton surveying a proposed new
line, and now it is stated they have
practically decided upon a route.
The new line will branch off from
the present road at Eldon, running
in a southwesterly direction, taking
in Bloomfield and Moulton, in Iowa,
and Unionville and Harris in Mis-
souri,. The new line will reduce the
mileage about 30 miles, and this is a
great factor when the time of getting
a train over the road means many
thousands of dollars.
1t is NOT the intention of the Rock
Island, by any means, to abandon
the old rood from Trenton to Eldon,
and it is stated that at least one
through Chicago train would be run
over that line each day. The fast
trains, however, would be run over
the Q road and fast freight would
be handled exclusively on the short
line. The Rock Island has an ex-
tensive stock business in southern
Iowa and northern Missouri, which
it a i'll afford to lose, and it is GER
tain that the towns which may be de-
prived of the fast service will be well
taken care of.
