Of the elevated tracks Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad IN Wilmington by
December 1.
This statement was made this morn
ing by an official OF the road who said
the work Of filing in beneath the
tracks from Landlith to the Brandy
wine bridge was now progressing
rapidly. 1t has already been almost
completed to Vandever avenue and
now the most important thing is the
completion of the bridges over Van
dever avenue, Fourteenth street and
the Brandywine The first two will
not require much time, but the ma
sonry work on the big elevated bridge
over the river viii occasion great deal
of work and will of necessity have to
be done more slowly. 1t is the inten-
ton, however. OF the contractors to
have il finished before the cold weather

CONGRESSMAN WYATT AIKEN,
Third Districts Congressman Is Well
Known and Popular In the Nation's
Capital.

up OF the new members of the Fif-
ty-eighth Congress-, which is now in
extra session, has the following to
say of the Hon. Wyatt Aiken. rep
resentlng the Third District of
South Carolina:
The name of Aiken is an old
and honored one in the House OF
Representatives. For ten years the
third district of South Carolina was
represented by D. Wyatt Aiken.
Now. after lapse of years, the
son, Wyatt Aiken, "democrat, of
Abbeville," comes to fill the seat
that was his fathers. Mr.. Aiken
comes to Washington we'll equipped
for a Legislative career, although
this is the first public office he has
ever held. He is fully acquainted
with Washington, however, having
spent much of his time here when
his father was in Congress and hav-
ing since been a frequent visitor.
lie IS known to the men who have
been III Congress for long terms, to
the older correspondents and at
taches Of the House, and is not by
any means strange to congressional
customs and parliamentary proce.
dure
1.-The new Representative Aiken
gives his vocation as "farmer," and
declares he has always been such.
He was born December Id, 1863,
and was reared on a farm in bbc-
vile county, S. c., in the section
now embraced in Greenwood coun-
ty. He received a common school
education at Cokesbury and after
ward III Washington, where he
came when his father was elected to
the House.
while in this city Mr.. Aiken
acquired short hand, his efforts in
this direction quickly bearing fruit,
tor in January, 1884, he was ap-
pointed official court reporter for
the second judicial circuit of his
native State. A year later he was
appointed to similar position on
the eighth circuit, a position he
has Since held, Notwithstanding
his connection with the courts in
this official capacity, Mr.. Aiken
did not relinquisl the title Of farm
er. He took then and takes now a
keen interest in everything pertain
ing to agriculture, and is sure to
prove stauch friend to the farmer
while in Congress.
"When the war with Spain was
declared, the martial spirit of his
toretathers took possession of Mr..
Aiken, and he volunteered his ser
vices in the humble capacity of pri-
vate in his home company, the Alb.
beville Volunteers, which was mus
tered into the service of tie United
States at Columbia May 10, 1893. |
The company became known as
Company a, lst South Carolina
Regiment of Infantry. 1t was not
long before Private Aiken was an.
pointed a battalion adjutant by
Governor Ellerbe, and during al
most the entire time of his service,
Mr.. Aiken acted as regimental
qnartermaster. He was mustered
out of the service with his regiment
at Columbia November 10, 1908.
"Previous to his recent election
to Congress Mr.. Aiken's nearest
approach to public Office was as
delegate to several State conven-
tions. At the elcctien he received
5,oS2 votes to 59 cast for his repub.

are SO many pities included in one
large pity, it is simply too bad.
The last presentment of the grand
jury brought to light all of those
pities which have reference TO.
1t IS an awful pity that there has
been such reckless expenditure of
the county's public funds, putting
the county $22, 900 in debt; and
this, III connection with the fact
that we have had as little public
Improvement as have known for
considerable while. 1t is not de.
sired to open up any more fire on
Supervisor Schumpert. If this had
been the intention the game could
have been started long since. MIR.
Schumpert's employees on the pub
lie works have tried to exonerate
him of part Of the charges made
against him by the grand Jury, but
this does not lessen the county's
debt one particle. The taxpayers
have got to foot the bill lust the
same, and the cry, "overburdened
with taxation' is going to be heard
before the debt is paid. The peo-
pie don't mind paying out money
when they CAN see that thew are
getting value received but every
taxpayer has right to complain
when he sees that his money is
being wasted. We had GOOD

The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1903-10-22

Two years ago when Mr.. Foehlin-
ger was candidate for coroner, the
Herald advocated his election ON the
ground that he would be an efficient
and economical official. Intervening
events have proven the claim, and as
all must agree, Mahaska county
never had more capable man in the
position. Mr.. Foehlinger is an under.
taker of years experience and pop
ular business man of the city of Oska-
loosa. His candidacy for reelection
meets with general favor among the
people of the county. .,..
Chas. Foehlinger was born in
Kretuznacht, Germany, January II,
1850. The parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Foehlinger, removed with their fam
lily to America in 1S53,and three years
later to Iowa and Oskaloosa, and it
was there that Charles received his
early education AS soon as he was
cid enough to earn wages he went
into a furniture and undertaking es-
tablishment and has since followed
that line of work excepting very
few years. He entered the store OF
Miller & Harbach and served them
three years He was out of this line
of work about three years while in
the employ Of Levi Hambleton in the
grocery business. His excellence as
workman in the other line of work
was well known and he was offered
an opportunity to connect himself
with the ]. B. McCurdy furniture and
undertaking business and he remain
ed in the service of this house for a
period of 1871 years. He then start
ed in business for himself and estap-
