DOES DOUBLE WORK.
When Coal is Hoisted Mine Cars
Are Operated.

What Cheer Patriot: II. d. Baker,
of the What Cheer Fuel Co. has one
of the most original and unique eys-
TENS for hauling coal up a steep hill
in the Co.'S mine near town that has
ever yet been invented. 1t works
successfully too. A rope runs from
the shaft to the bottom of the hill
and around sheave wheel in the
stump, under the cage. When a trip
Of six or eight cars is hooked on to
the tail rope and the other end of the
rope ia hooked to a ring in the bottom
of the cage and as the cage is hoisted
the trip is hauled out to the bottom
of the shaft. The empties are let
back down the hill by reverse pro-
cess, thus doing away with one engine
and engineer and making a piece OF
rope and one sheave do the work OF
S2500,00 outfit without cent OF
extra expense for operating. The
Fuel Co.'S. mine is running upwards
of $50 tons of coal day now. The
vein they are working is from 90 to
feet in thickness and of exception
ally good quality.

SELF MADE MAN.
kerwln's Rise From Water Boy to
Trainmaster.

The Railroad Employee, leading
trade journal, says of a former Oska-
loosa man:
1.-THE possibilities in railroad life
for any young man who possesses
grit and determination to succeed
are illustrated in the career of Mr..
E. E. Kerwin, who has recently been
appointed trainmaster of the L. & 8.
Division of the G. r. r. of N. J. with
headquarters at Mauch Chunk. Mr..
KerwiD began bis railroad career
when he was ten years of age, as
water boy to a section gang at
Turner's, on the Erie railroad, and
afterwards worked as a track laborer
at the same place. Young Kerwin,
however, had ambition, and it was
not long before he had learned tele-
grapby, and secured a position as
operator and agent, under Mr.. @. w.
Bradley, at that time general super
iptendent of the West Shore railroad,
where he remained for some time,
when he went West and allied him
self with the Iowa Central, where
his ability was soon recognized, and
be rose to telegraph train dispatcher,
chief telegraph train dispatcher and
eventually trainmaster, which posi-
ton he left to accept bic present one
with the New Jersey Central Mr.
Kerwin is young man of pleasant
address, a rai'roader in every sense
the word implies and the employees
of the Central have found him to be
the right man i'll the right place.

PEOPLE SATISFIED.
New Sharon Pleased With Iowa
Central Plans at That Place.

New Sharon Star: George Sewers
and other representatives of the Iowa
Central were in town last week, and
signified it to be the intention of the
company to build a bridge 20 feet
wide over the track at the Martin &
Younkin brick and tile works, a "a
foot bridge at the east Market street
crossing where the new depot is to
be erected lat the old stock yard site.
These propositions were laid before
Mayor Carr, and he submitted them
to meeting of citizens Saturday
evening, and proved acceptable. 1t
was also decided to ask the company
to erect a platform on north Main
street and stop the Newton passenger
trains there, which would be a great
accommodation to travellers, as it
would save them being hauled through
town that they might walk back.
The company will likely do this, as
it is to their interest TO please their
patrons, and we have noticed that
railroad companies are apt to do that
when request is properly presented.

NEW CITIZENS.
oskaIoosa Secures a Popular Red
Oak Family.

Concerning the new opticiao who
is coming TO Oskaloosa, and who has
leased the Walter Campbell home on
North Eighth street, the Red Oak Ex-
press says:
PROF. Mayne Arnold, the optician,
who mas been In Red Oak nearly two
years, announces his appro &C hing
departure. Prof. Arnold Is probably
more generally known in this and ad.
joining counties than any man who
has resided a like length of time in
ked Oak, This is because of his per-
sistent advertising both in the news
papers and by placards anu posters
There are few persons living within
twenty miles of Red Oak who have
not seen his advertisements or heard
of him. IL is probable that during the
last two years be has sold more
glasses than any other opticiau has
sold in Red Oak in ten years. Nor
have we heard any complaint from
his patrons. On the other hand many
have gone out of the way to commend
his work. The fact is a man who de-
votes his whole life to fitting glasses
cannot help but acquire skill in that
profession, and that is what Prof.
Arnold has done.
During his stay ia Red Oak Prof.
Arnold has been the most extensive
advertiser in the town. Consequently
he hes had considerable business with
the newspapers. We have found him
to be scrupulously prompt in making
settlement and pleasant gentleman
with whom TO transact business. We
wish him success wherever he goes, -

Miss Davis, of Cedar Falls viii
Have Charge of New Work.

Miss Davis, of Cedar Falls has ac-
cepted position in the schools of
this city and will have charge of the
new department of drawing which
will be installed this year. She will
teach this branch in all the ward
buildings and in the High school Civ
ing lessons to each, twice or three
times week. Arrangements are be-
ing made so that she may be able to
visit the High school every day but
these are still incomplete. Miss
Davis has been in the art department
at the State Normal for some time
past and has also taken a special
course in Chicago University. She
comes we'll recommended and will no
doubt prove an excellent instructor
in this line of work. Drawing was
introduced into the schools here
some time ago but for the past few
years the department has been
dropped. Its reinstatement is great
improvement in the course and the
department should be made of equal
importance with the music division.
