MOST PITIFUL CASE.
Incident That Urges the Need of
Hospital.

A case of unusual sadness that has
come to the notice of the Aid Societies
OF the city proves a most forceful
argument in support of the need of a
hospital in the city.
A little girl between the age of Eve
and six years OF age lay seriously i'll
of whoopipg cough and pneumonia.
The parents were poor, almost to
restitution. Home comforts were an
unknown quantity and the necessities
OF the sick room were not to be
thought Of. The directions of attend
ing physicians could not be followed
out and the little sufferer grew worse
from day to day. The ladies OF the
Aid Society heard of the case and
came to the assistance of the family.
A pitiable condition of affairs was
found to exist. The child was per-
fectly helpless and sick unto death.
When one of the ladies gave the little
girl bath she found that the patient
had been permitted to lie in her own
filth for period of a couple of days
unattended and uncared for. In
struct ons left for the care of the
child had been disregarded because
the mother did not understand or did
not know how. The child died. Had
a hospital been at command in the
eitv the little one would have been
removed thereto and received treat
ment such as would have, in all prob
ability, saved the little life. This is
but single case of many that occurs
in the city in the course of twelve
months. 1t is almost crime for a
city the size OF Oskaloosa to be with
out hospital. There is a, respons-
Utility in such matters as these and
municipalities like individuals are
open to criticism and liability.

WASH DAY.
Mayor wray Starts Out to Clean Up the
city

Mayor Wray has ordered general
cleaning up ofthe city'sbad places and
the start of the work caused consider
able trouble in Moketown Saturday
night and Sunday. Lottie and Sis
Taylor, colored, were arrested for
keeping disorderly place. A couple
of white men informed the mayor
that they had been called into the
house by the girls. This the girls
deny. The evidence against tn Q girls
was heard with the result that
Mayor Wray imposed fine of $4,000
and costs against them but the fine
is remitted II they will leave the city
Immediately. Other colored people
were called up, upon charges of
street walking and living together
out of marriage, contrary to law,
These charges were in turn denied
and the husband charged with the
last offense. Although not able to
produce his marriage license he
stated that he would get the proof of
the marriage records at Ottnmwa
where the marriage took place.
Then Miss Jackson, one of the
colored women who had been called
before the mayor, filed informations
against some more troublesome ones
and further settlement is expected to
be made.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Engineer at 'PekaY Meets with a
Serious Accident

Eddyville Tribune: j.. A. Riley,
the popular engineer at the Pekay
mines, met with very serious acct
d3nt Sunday that came near being
fatal. He was cleaning the dynamo
when he slipped and his hand was
caught between the commutator and
brush, which was running at about
175 revolutions per minute. There
were several men in the engine room,
who Immediately shut down the en-
glnes, thereby saving Mr.. Riley's
life, as he was being slowly drawn
into the machine. Had they not
been present it would have only been
few moments until Mr.. Riley would
have been torn to pieces. AS it was
he sustained very severe injuries,
his hand and arm being badly torn
and laccrated.
Chas. Bollabaugh, the prominent
young farmer east of town, met with
a very serious accident yesterday.
He was feeding wood into a steam
wood saver when in some manner
he slipped and threw his hand against
the saw and received very bad cash,
that will permanently disable that
member.

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Aftermath of thel Big County Affair
Last Week.

DR.. Stalker stated that the Mahaska
county institute was the only institute
in the state that he knows of that
was run in the right way. 1t was by
far the best and most successful of
any organized today and was the
best in many ways. One Of the
reasons for this state of affairs is the
practice of every one taking part in
the program and in the discussions.
All have an interest in the work
planned and laid out and it is a YER
liable school of instruction the value
of which cannot be over estimated.
Doctor Stalker ''just happened to be
in the city" on the day of the chill
dren's contests. He became interested
and decided to stay during the next
meeting and the result was that the
gentleman remained during the en-
tire program.
1t has not yet been determined
what to do about the meeting place
for the institute of next year. An
nouncement of any decision of the
board of directors will be given to the
people through the columns of THE
HERALD and county press generally.
1t was announced during the insti.
tute that Seth Miller who took the
premium on yellow corn was soon to
remove from the county and take up
his home on his new farm in Warren
county.near the little town of Nor
walk. His many friends in this
county will regret the change that
takes Mr.. Miller from the commun-
ity but will wish all prosperity in the
new field of labor.
The competitive exhibit this year
was made up of only about fifty ex-
hibitors on the entry list including
every class of premiums. 1t is safe
estimate that the list will run well
over one hundred next year.
The oratorical contest next year
will be something to talk about. The
interest in this department of the
institute has had wonderful growth
and the method of holding township
contests to determine the local repre-
sentative tends to keep the interest
alive during a season.
Miss Floy McCready, the teacher
of elocution who has been connected
with the training of number of the
contestants won laurels in having
tutored all winners of frat places.
The audience at the Tuesday after
noon contest was determined to hear
from the lady when it was ascer-
tanned that she was present in the
house and selection or two from
her was demanded. The pieces given
showed the powers of the young lady
and she was roundly applauded for
the work done.
The kindly help of the business
men of the city of Oskaloosa is ap-
preciated by the management of the
institute. They added many prizes
to the premium list and did much
that was in line of direct support of
the enterprise.

DAVID HARUM."
Local Decentralization of the Popular
ReaIIstIc Novel

Agent McConville, of the Cudaby
Packing Co., has been ordained with
a new title, that of David Harum."
The christening came about by the
similarity of ability in trading horses.
When Mr.. McConville's predecessor,
Mr.. Hirsch, was here, he secured a
team of horses on debt. The team
proved to.be an elephant on the Com
pany's hands, until partial relief came
by the demise of one of the trotters.
The other continued to hold down q
stall and grew fat while the Company
paid the freight. One bright day last
week several Hebrew horse traders
came along, espied the animal and
concluded he would be a bonanza in
their business. They asked Mr.. Nc
Conville to try the animal but the
agent wasStoo busy. They came the
second time but he was still occupied.
The third time they made a straight
offer of $50 for the animal and the
deal was closed. Of they went in
high glee, but their Joy was of but
short duration, as the. horse soon be-
gan to puff like locomotive. They
came back to Mr. McConville and
wanted to trade back-but that was
the agents unusually busy time. They
then carried the matter into court
and charged the meat dispenser with
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. Mr.. McConville declares his
innocence and up-to date Re holds
the $50 while the other fellows are
buying the horse feed.
