ChaSe'S Theater.

The appearance next week of Captain
Woodward's performing seals and sea lions
at Chase's will undoubtedly excite greater
public interest in polite vaudeville than any
other sensational novelty that has appeared
at the avenue play house this season. The
remainder of the program, fully worthy to
encircle the chief sensation of the season.
Will comprise AL. Shean and Charles L.
Warren, Gus Williams. the Onllaw Trio.
FRANK Gardiner and Lottie Vincent, Tim
Mcmahon and Edythe Chappelle, Dillon
Brothers and Mignonette Kokin. Captain
woodward calls his exhibition The Circus
OF the Sea-" because of it's diversified
character. 1t Is the one act in which am
pnlolans furnish entertainment. Captain
w woodward has demonstrated that these fin
ny monsters possess degree of intelligence
making it possible for them to follow in
struct1ons and obey directions SO far as to
go through amusement evolutions. The
amusement public has witnessed what the

NEED OF A HOSPITAL.
New Evidences of the Demand
For an Institution.

Emmatt White is lying dangerously
on First avenue west, of pneumonia,
and his condition has been considered
critical. DR.. N. R. Hook is in charge
of the case. Another young man named
Mr.. Morgan has been quite severely i'll
at his room over the Ed. Howard gro
Gerry with typhoid pneumonia. He has
been under the care of DR.. Miller and
is convalescing at the present time.
Both of the young men were working
in the city and were without care or
attention for time. A nurse was Sc.
cured through the advice of DR.. Hook
for Mr.. White.
These cases have made more appa-
rent than. ever the crying need of
hospital in the city. The patients had
to be kept in their apartments, where
there were almost no conveniences and
where everything was at a disadvan-
tage.
Another case that would have been
taken to a hospital was that of DR.. ].
T. Coveny. Absolute quiet was requis.
lite in the treatment of this case and
it was almost impossible to get it in
the apartments where the sufferer was
placed. TIE sister of Doctor Coveny
Mamie, of Clinton, who has charge of
the case, states that had there been a
hospital in the city she would have
taken the patient there for treatment
and me advantages offered by such a
place.
DR.. w. S. Windle stated to a Herald
man that he had now three cases that
could not be properly handled for the
lack of accommodations such as hos
pital would provide. Two of the cases
were operations that could not be per
formed at the present time because
there was no hospital in the city.

A FORTUNATE FIND.
An Illinois Daughter In Poor Circum-
stances Uncovers Her Dead
Mothers Fortune.

The old adage that truth is stranger
in Abingdon the other day, when Miss
Christine Norman discovered a sum of
money, amounting to 81, 800, which had
been left by her mother, Mrs. Anna
Norman. The old lady, who was very
eccentric, died short time ago, and
money for the funeral expenses was
subscribed by the people of the town,
as the mother and daughter had lived
for years in the most abject poverty,
the daughter dong washing to support
the two, reports the Stark County (Ill.)
News.
After the death of the old lady Chris
tine began to examine the effects left
by her mother in the house. Among
other things in the house there was
box that the old lady had guarded with
great care for years. The box was
made of solid iron and fastened with
two strong locks. When the chest was
at last opened joyous sight was that
which met the gaze Of the daughter
and those who were assisting her in the
investigation. Gold. silver and paper
money were found in large quantity.
Much of the gold was made 40 years
ago, and the paper money was of spe-
cies long ago gone out of use and re-
called by the government. This sum
of money was taken to the bank and
placed on deposit in trust for the
daughter. who has worked so hard all
these years to care for her mother.

EASTER SPORTS.
Annual EEg-ROlIinG Festival ON
White House Grounds.

Washington, April 1.-The green
sward back of the white house was
alive Monday with swarms of chill
dren, who, with baskets filled with
brightly colored eggs, entered with
zest into the annual Easter Monday
egg rolling carnival. The sky was al
ternately bright and overcast, but
neither contingency seemed to affect
the spirits of the young jewellers. The
attendance was not confined to chill
dren, for a great many older persons
were present, some keeping a watchful
see a pretty sight. The throng was
thoroughly cosmopolitan, all sorts and
conditions of children mingling freely
in the fun. The grounds were open
from nine o'clock in the morning until
sunset. The Marine band gave con-
cert at four o'clock and brought to
close thoroughly enjoyable day for
the younger generation. The presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt and their
children, together with a number of
friends, appeared on the portico of the
white house while the crowds were
on the grounds, and the former was
kept busy in acknowledging the many
salutations he received from the little
ones. The party remained on the por-
tico until the gusts of wind and a
threatened shower drove the multi
tude to shelter.

n. l.. Company

Mr.. and Mrs. H. w. Dorman were
given pleasant surprise last evening
by company of 0skaloosa ladies and
gentlemen. Mr.. Dorman has been in
the city a number of months in the
interests of the l. X. L. Mining Com
pany. A large block of stock has been
subscribed in this city, and DR.. A. J..
Hunter was made vice-president and
director of the company.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dorman were engaged
to meet Mr.. c. Winter and his wife at
the Asher restaurant at a certain hour,
and upon their appearance at the place
they found the dining room occupied
by about twenty-five ladies and gentle
men who are stockholders in the COM
pany of the l. X. l.. mine. The affair
was total surprise to Mr.. and Mrs.
Dorman.
A splendid dinner was served In
courses and the occasion proved de-
lightful in every sense of the term.
Following the menu, few talks were
called for, and a number responded.
Vice-President Hunter made a pretty
little speech, and was followed by Mr..
and Mrs. Dorman, G. Winter ami
others

Michigan Coal Miners Strike.

Saginaw, Mich, April 2.-The strike
of the Michigan coal miners ordered
several days ago, after the conference
between the operators and miners
failed to agree on a scale, began Tues
day and 1000 miners are out in this
county. Almost the same number of
men have quit the mines at Bay City
and in the St. Charles district. There
was no demonstration Tuesday, the
men simply staying away from the
pits. The Owosso Coal company last
Sunday signed the scale offered by the
men and theirs is the only mine oper-
ating.

MAY BROADEN AGAIN
Rumor That Burlington & West
ern Will Improve.

j. B. Bolton is in receipt of inform
alton that the Burlington & Western
will build spur to his coal field
located west of town. This revives
with a new emphasis the rumor that
the cons ru ,tion of the switch is the
first step in the building of the con-
Meeting link from this city to Tracey,
and that the track is to be made
standard and complete new equip
ment put on. This rumor has been
so often sprung and as often denied,
that it has not created any great
sensation this time.
The building of the switch however
will likely come this summer as the
road is sadly in need of coal supply
at this end, having to haul all their
fnel from Illinois, and the new field
is an inviting proposition.
If the other improvements are
made it will give the system direct
line from Burlington through Oska-
loosa to Des Moines.

BUTCHERS COMBINE.
Sunday Marketing and Late
Hours Seem Doomed.

The meat market owners of the city
and their helpers have been having a
high time since Sunday and out of the
agitation something is likely to come
about that will entirely do away with
the Sunday opening of the butcher
shops, The butchers helpers held a
meeting on Sunday and as a result
seven of the men formed branch OF
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of North America.
Sam T. Hobbs. who is a leader in the
Ottumwa association, was present with
the Oskaloosa men, and it was through
him that the union movement was
started. The seven local workers be-
came members of the Ottumwa Local
No. 144, as there were not enough men
in the city to form an independent
association.
Two of the things that the new asso-
citation seeks to do is the direct benefit
of both proprietors and helpers IN
earlier closing on week days and no
opening on Sundays.
The shops will close their doors
against the sale of merchandise at 8
o'clock in the evening. Saturday nights
the shops will remain open until mid
night, but no goods will be delivered
after s o'clock in the evening. If such
plan is adopted by the market men
it will work to the advantage of a class
of men who have been working on long
time for many years. The public will
easily be able to accommodate them
selves to the new order of things if the
action is finally decided upon.
Following the inauguration of the
helpers union, the proprietors Of the
Oskaloosa shops thought they would
take a hand in the business, and &C.
cordingly the market men met Tues.
day evening at the L. r. Geneva shop
with the helpers to discuss the closing
problem. 1t was the general opinion
that one should not close unless all
closed and agreements to that effect
were considered.
Charles Strohmeier struck the pOpE-
lar idea when he stated that the market
men should organize the Oskaloosa
Butchers Association. The object of
the organization should be mutual pro-
lection. When butcher becomes a
member of the association he pays into
the treasury a fee of fifty dollars.
This amount of cash is to stand as 4
forfeit in case the individual shop
breaks over the agreement that is to
be signed by all concerning the closing
of the sale of goods. Charles objected
to the idea of bonds or other securities
put up as a forfeit He insists upon
cash, claiming that the cash forfeit
will keep the members of the associa
ton more in line with their agreement
and make them less liable to be in
clined to break over. To recover on q
bond there must be a suit. with ex
pense and fees. To pull down cast
| forfeit will be less trouble.
A meeting of the Oskaloosa butchers
| is called for Thursday evening and T. ;
matter will be brought up again foi
the consideration of all parties inter
eSted.
