says: 1--WE arrived in Eugene, Oregon,

SHADE OF HAMLET.
Shakespeare Department Of Woman's
Club Takes up Study.

The Shakespeare class Of the Won
ans Club met last evening at the
home of Mrs. Frank Christie, and
the study of Hamlet was commenced.
Owing to the inhaling of smoke dur
ing the fire at the Duffln house where
she has rooms, Miss Mae j. Evans
lungs and throat were in no condition
to lead the class, of which she is di.
rectress, so Miss Jessie Reid was ap'
pointed to conduct the reading. A
most pleasant evening was spent and
much profit was derived from trailing
the shade of Hamlet in its nightly
walk. Hereafter the class will meet
at the homes of the different mem.

hospital purposes. The heating IA
cilities are such that it is with diff
Guilty the apartments for the patients
can be kept comfortable. With these
and many other hindrances the good
women OF the hospital association
have been contending with courage
and marvellous patience for a number
Of years.
In city the size of Ottumwa, the
absolute necessity for a well-equipped
hospital is apparent to the most cas-
ual observer. Never week passes
but that emergency cases OF more or
less serious nature are to be taken
care Of. Sickness among the people
of the city is often of such a nature
that hospital care is necessary.
People who have heretofore taken
little notice of the work of the hos
pital, have become interested by the
discussion of the past few weeks.
This interest should not be allowed to
wane. The people Of Ottumwa
should keep this question prominent
ly before the public, and should unite
for the purpose OF devising ways and
means of providing this great need
and seeing to it that this city has q
good, substantial and modernly
equipped hospital"

ENGINE RUNS WILD.
Work of Crazy Man Excites the
Rock Island.


Rock Island.
During the temporary absence of
the fireman at the round house in
Council Bluffs an unknown man
boarded Rock Island engine No. SO,
which had just been run across the
turntable, and pulling the throttle
open, leaped off.
With the lever in the forward mo-
ton, the huge machine started. Fast
gaining Roadway, it raced down the
side-track and boiling through two
split switches, gained the main line.
With steam Kissing from the pop
valve and the exhaust hurting a col
umn of fire and smoke into the night
air, the flying engine raced over the
rails eastward. Almost before the
yardmen realized what had happened
the fleeing engine had disappeared
round a curve, going at express
rate.
1t didn't take long for the operator
at the Bluffs to notify the dispatchers
at Des Moines that a wild engine, with
no one on board was tearing down
the main line under a full head OF
steam.
The dispatcher ordered the signal
board displayed at all stations as far
east as Atlantic, and warned conduc
tors of all trains west of that point
to get "in to clear" real quick. A
switch engine was sent in pursuit
but it was case of sending the tor
toise to overtake the hare. The
switch engine ran nine miles, and
was approaching Weston, when the
wild engine, having exhausted its
steam, was found standing at rest on
the track. It was fired up and
backed into Council Bluffs in time tc
bring the east bound Denver train
out on time. '.. *.

CHRISTMAS.

Though Christmas comes each Veal.
1t means too much ever to be stale
In religion, it celebrates the best part
of the Christian faith, new joy that
came into the world. AS a noiiday,it
is the season of expansion, generos-
ity, leading others lives. Cold reas-
on would say that the best time for
making gifts was when necessity
called, opportunity invited, or i'm
pulse urged, but Christmas throws
reason to the winds and opens the
arms of faith and profusion once each
year. The shops are loaded with gro
tesque and useless toys-useless,s save
to give little human beings joy. Many
poor soul pinches for the sake OF
doing some guerdon of it's love, and
is, perhaps, the better for the sacri-
fee. Wear this for me, no words
mean more, and of all gifts, as the
American genius said, the best is a
portion of myself. Therefore, the
poet brings his poem; the shepherd,
his lamb; the farmer, corn; the min
er, a gem; the sailor, coral and shells;
the painter, his picture; the girl, a
handkerchief of her own making"
Alas, for us, who can give only what
we buy; and yet even that car
ries our emotion, for 1t is chosen low
ingly. Certainly the principle Of the
widows mite holds true in Christmas
giving as in charity, for all depends
upon what it means to the giver.
Who has not been moved by receiv-
ing the tribute of child--a bit of
paper, tooth, or curl,-comic or pa
thetic,-in way that he could be
touched by no carelessly choosing
Croesus? So no wagon load of city
roses can carry the perfume of the
heart as it is borne by the blossoms
which the giver's hand has culled or
his slender purse has shrunk to buy.
Christmas,t he season of giving and
rejoicing, helps us all to part of the
spirit after which the day is named;
the child with his joy, the rest of us
with charity and the love Of man.

in one life!-Collier's Weekly.

Whoever has neglected to read
that poem of James Bert Smiley, au-
thor of st. Peter at the Gate, has lest
treat, and with slight variation l
will repeat a few lines.
1t so happened that a minister and
one of his flock died at the same
time and both went to Heaven to-
gether. Coming before the gate OF
st. Peter, the minister introduced his
friend and said: This soul has bark
ened unto me all the days Of his life.
He never smoked, or took drop for
his stomach's sake, never attended n
circus, show or dance, cards never
soiled his hands, on Sunday he was
promptly at church or Sunday school,
and the balance of the day he read
the Bible and prayer book. During
the spare hours of the week he occu,
pied himself with religious literature
and singing doleful songs. He used
to lie like trooper, but I forgave
him for that before we started on
this trip. vouch for him, no further
investigation is needed on your part"
well, we must be going our crown
to win,
So open the door and we'll pass In
st. Peter sat quiet and stroked his
= STAFF,
But, spite of his office, he had to
laugh.
Then said, with frey CLEAN in hia
eye,
Who's running this gate, you or I?'
And then he rose in his stature tall
And pressed button upon the wall
1 And said to the imp who answered
i the bell
Escort this preacher around to hell
Il
Then st. Peter looked and turned
i about
And said, HE has tortured that sin
! ner for all there is out"
And the sinner thought his show was
slim,
And wondered what Peter would dc
i to him.
Then st. Peter looked at him and
i said:
-
mo wonder the man hasn't got any
hair,
To live so long without having a
i lark.
Ho, Angel Gabriel, give him harp
A jeweled harp with a golden string
Please, sir, pass in where the angels
i sing.
i Gabriel, give him seat alone,
j One with a cushion, and near the
throne;
i Call up some angels to play their best
Let him enjoy the music and rest,
See that on finest ambrosia he feeds
He's had about all the hell he needs
1t isn't just hardly the thing to do,
To roast him on earth and the fu
j ture, too"
Are we drifting away from tho
Father and the Son? Not by AM
means. When the end is near we
like to have the minister come and
tell us those consoling words thai
Jesus spoke to the sinner at the
cross: To-day thou shalt be witt
Me in Paradise"

THE NEED OF The HOUR.

Ottumwa, like Oskaloosa, is carry
ing on a campaign for the erection
of hospital building. Under the IT,
tie of "Ottumwa's Greatest Need"
the Courier makes these timely sug-
gestions which apply equally to o.
kaloosa as to Ottumwa:
"Of all the needed public institu-
tions none, at the present time, is of
so great necessity in Ottumwa as a
thoroughly equipped hospital. The
realization of this need has been i'm.
pressed upon the people of Ottumwa
more fully than ever before by the
recent discussion originating with
the women of the Ottumwa Hospital
association regarding their plans for
the building and maintenance of such
an institution in this city. The ag1
tation of the few past weeks has
served to call the attention of the
public to the totally inadequate equip.
ment with which the members of the
association have been conducting a
hospital
The surprising fact is, that those
in charge of this work have been en-.
abled to do as much as they have In
caring for the sick and providing for
the emergency cases. Leaving out
of consideration the location of the
present hospital. there are many dis.
advantages TO its use as such, and the
excellent work already done has been
due to the painstaking efforts OF
those in charge.
Limited as to room, still greater
handicap has been experienced in the
work by the lack OF all conveniences
that combine to make efficient hos,
pital service possible. The building
is difficult OF access. The arrange
ment Of the rooms in the present
building is poorly adapted to use for

Elroy, in charge of the Bank of Col
fax since the suicide of George D..
Woods, the cashier, has prepared a
preliminary report on the condition
of the bank. His statement shows
that the bank is solvent and creditors
will be paid. The liabilities consist
of $475,000 of deposits, from which
should be deducted $4,000 which is
owed to George and Alex Woods,
partners in the bank and sole owners.
The assets consist of $4,000 of bills
receivable, $4,000 in overdrafts anu
$4,000 cash. In addition to this
there is the bank building worth $6,-
900 and real estate owned by the
partners estimated to be worth $780,.
900. The receiver estimates that
there will be shrinkage of probably
100000 in the notes due, owing to
large losses Of creditors of the bank
but even at the worst the bank can
pay out in full, and It Ii likely it viii
