New Hardware Firm.

j. Frank Hamilton has purchased
an interest in the hardware business
that has been owned by the Hubbard
Hardware Company, and the firm
will hereafter be composed of father
and son, A. A. and j. F. Hamilton,
and will be known under the firm
name of Hamilton & Hamilton and
will continue in the former location
of the Hubbard Company at the cor
ner of Bigh avenue and A street, the
location of the old Haw & McPherrin
hardware store.
The change in the firm will be noted
with much pleasure by the many
friends of the young man In the city
and in the county at large. He has
been before the people in business
way for a number of years and his
strict attention to business detail and
his general pleasantness have won
for him hosts of friends who will not
fail to call upon him at the new loca-
ton.
The senior member of the firm needs
no Introduction. to the people of the
city or the county. He has been in
business in the city for a term OF
years that has given him acquaintance
and prestige. The father and son
have been associated in a business
way before in way that was agree
able to all concerned and the renewal
of the former relations will seem much
like entering an old home.
The public in its dealing WITH the
former firm found it always enter
prising, reliable and trustworthy. 1t
was the Hamiltons who gave Oska-
loosa its fret up-to-date peoples
hardware store and they intend 10
continue doing this in the future, to
have a store that will contain goods
demanded by the general public and
to have them for sale at prices that
will not be prohibitive.
There has been need for store of
this sort in Oskaloosa for long time
and it shall be the earnest endeavor
of the Hamiltons TO make their place
the popular resort Of all VINO are
looking.for reliable and honest goods
marked in an honest way.
The Hamiltons invite all friends and
former customers to their new place.
Come to the new store and see what
they have. Get acquainted with the
store and the stock and feel at home
once more,

IN MISSOURI.
Gesman Bros. Tell of Splen-
did Lands In Charlton Co.

George Gesman, who has been in
Charlton County, Missouri, looking
after listed lands in that part of the
state grows enthusiastic about the
situation there in letter to his
brother, N. j. Gesmap, who is in this
city looking after business matters
here.
He says the land is as fine or finer
than Iowa land and is to be had at
prices far below that of choice Iowa
land. A number of Oskaloosa peo-
pie are going to the section to secure
farms.
George sent home some samples of
the grain that is grown on this land
and the same are TO be seen at the
Chas. @. Pike drug store front. One
sample of an early variety has two
large ears to the stalk and will go
fully one hundred bushels to the acre.
1t is a common thing to see fields
with the corn twelve and a half to
fifteen feet high. The wheat harvest
is now in progress and the yield is av-
eraging As and As bushels to the acre.
There is hardly If any of the crop
that will go below thirty bushels to
the acre. The quality is of the very
best.
Land is being purchased rapidly in
hereabouts and the prices are ad-
vancing steadily on all farms. Prices
are now FIVE to ten dollars higher
than they were sixty days ago and
they are advancing daily. The best
farms are being picked up rapidly by
home seekers and those who desire
to invest their money. 1t will be no
trouble to sell every piece of land
that we have listed and II any of our
people are contemplating purchasing
lands in this part we would advise
their coming here Immediately for
the bargains are being picked up
rapidly.
Several Des Moines men have been
in the locality and have made pur-
chases of large tracts Of the land.
Henry Wallace, of "Wallace's
Farmer" has just bought another
large farm here, and others from the
capital.

GONE TO HIS REWARD
DR.. VIM. Beardshear OF Ames
Dies This Morning.

Des Moines, Aug. 5.-Dr. William
Nj. Beardshear, president OF the Iowa
State College at Ames, and former
president of the National Educational
Association, died this morning at his
home from the results of nervous
prostration.
DR.. W. M. Beardshear was born
near Dayton, o., in the year 1s49 and
spent his early life in Montgomery
county. At the early age of IA, hav-
ing obtained all the education pos
sible under the limited advantages OF
the country school, he enlisted in the
volunteer infantry of the army OF the
Cumberland and served faithfully as
a private until the close of the civil
war.
In 1875 he graduated from Otterbein
University and spent two years at
Yale. After leaving Yale he began
his career as minister of the gospel
in his native state, moving from
there later to take the pastorate OF a
Congregational Church in Connecti-
cut. In June, 1881, he was elected
president of Western College at To-
ledo, Iowa, where he remained about
eight years. Under his administra'
ton Western College made phe-
nomenal growth
In 1855 he was rendered the office
of superintendent of the Des Moines
public schools, which he accepted,
serving in that capscityfor two years.
About this time the trustees of the
Iowa State College were casting
about for president for that institu-
ton. They thought they saw in DR.
Reardshear the necessary qualities
and the results Of his work at that
institution show that they were not
wrong. From a small school, known
chiefly as training school for farm
boys, with an attendance of 400, it
has grown and expanded until il is
now known as on of the best technic-
al schools in the west; has an exper-
Iment station that is well known on
two continents, and enrolls 1900
students annually.
He was married in Ohio in 1878 to
to Miss Josephine Mundhenk. He is
survived by his widow and five chill
dren, the eldest of whom is Mrs. L
M. Chambers, of Denver, Col.

been expected by his friends in this
city for many months, particularly
since the death of his son, Frederick
D. White, of Syracuse, lin July, 1901.
DR.. White win be 20 years old in No

The agent called and rang the front-door

through a basement window.
There he saw n man standing in one
corner looking at the floor, apparently Gb-
sorbed in thought
Suddenly the man in the basement looked
up and saw the agent peering in. 4 mo-

and asked the agent what he wanted.
The latter replied that he wanted to see
Mrs. Bartholin. Bartholin told the agent
