NEW AUTOMOBILE.
Little" McNeiII Gets a Winton of the
1904 Model.

The new auto car of w. A. Mcneil
arrived in the city Sunday and was
unloaded today. The car is a hand
some 1904 model of the "Winton"
make. 1t is one of the largest and
best cars made this year and is sup
posed to be as near perfection in this
line as can be attained The car is
monster, weighing between twenty
five hundred and three thousand
pounds. 1t is run by double engine
and is capable OF speeding at fifty
miles an hour.
A new feature of the machine is a
canopy top, making it possible for the
machine to be entirely enclosed as a
protection against storm. The car
is handsomely equipped with all of
the 1904 features and specialties. The
heavy canopy covering gives the ma
chine a massive appearance. 1t is
certainly handsome vehicle and
one that will attract attention any
where.

MISSIONARY BOAT SOLD.
The Christian Brethren Dispose of
Their Floating Temple.

Clinton, March 21.-Ihe magnifi-
cent steamer built here two years ago
by a religious sect called the Chris
tian Brethren, of which l.. T. Nichols,
of Minneapolis, was the leader, has
been sold at Chattanooga, and will
no longer be known as "the mission
airy boat" The boat cost about $780,
600. When it left Clinton there were
about seventy-five on board, who
lived on the steamer, On which were
fitted up workshops where men lab
ored to support those ON board. The
boat was fitted up to accommodate
200 persons and this number was liv-
ing on the megiddo when she was
sold, several children having been
born on the boat
The boat was built for the purpose
of navigating the Mississippi river
and its tributaries. In the summer
the boat was in the north, while the
winters were spent in the south. The
boat stopped for several days at the
large cities and towns and meetings
were held in a great tent.

PROF.ARNOLDTOLEAVE
TUSCALOOSA in THE
NEAR FUTURE.
He Will Give Scientific Examina-
tions of the Eyes Free up to the
Time of His Departure.
Blessings Brighten as They Take
Their Flight.
Prof. Arnold's Time in oskaloosa
Reduced.


For reasons which will be found
hereafter, Prof. Arnold will not re-
main as long in Oskaloosa as previ.
ously advertised. Professional men
sometimes experiment. and attempt
new departures, much the same as
business men do, and as sometimes
occurs to both, the experiment is NOT
success.
Prof. Mayne Arnold has tried Ito
;him) a new method of conducting his
business while here, which is this:
He reduced prices largely from one
third to three-fourths on his superior
glasses.
His Reason. The Professors mag
nificent stock of goods (the largest,
by the way, carried by any optician In
the world) represents the accumula-
ton Of life time devoted to hard
work, and at his age of 20 years, he
can not reasonably expect to live
long enough TO sell them at retail,
one pair at time, carefully adjusted,
except by securing an enormous mum.
Der of customers.
The same reason will also explain
why instead Of as heretofore, in oti1.
er cities, charging from FIVE to TWEEN.
ty-five dollars for scientific eye test
ing, he has made examinations for
Oskaloosa absolutely free.
Now while the Professors business
has been fairly goods and would doubt
less have been thought phenomenally
large by most of those engaged in the
same speciality, Prof. Arnold frankly
confesses that it has not quite equal
led his expectations.
The writer has no adverse criticism
in regard to those who prefer to IN
trust their eyes to INSCRIPTIONS ped
dlers, new beginners or other botches
and thus risk injury to their sight.
Their eyes and their money are their
own and it Is undoubtedly their priv
ilege to patronize whom they please.
1t is also true If business in Oska.
loosa is not sufficiently remunerative
to meet the Professors views, the
world is large, facilities for transport
tation are numerous and good, as also
cheap.
Consequently, with malice toward
none and best wishes for all, Prof.
Arnold will probably shake the dust
from his feet and depart from Oska-
loosa about April 8, If not sooner.
Those who are undecided whether
or not to. avail themselves of what
will probably be the best opportunity
for poor eyes in Oskaloosa for the
next fifty years take notice, and gov
ern themselves accordingly"

BROTHER IS DROWNED.
Sudden Bereavement Comes to A.
c. Dack of This City.

A. @. Dack, Of the Dack Hardware
company Of this city, received a tele-
gram Sunday telling OF the death Of
his brother, Lawrence DacK, at Abel,
Sunday. The brother departed by
the first train for the home in Abel
The following special from Abel gives
the particulars Of the sad affair:
Particulars of Accident.
Abel, Ia, March 2S.-Lawrence
Dack, aged about twenty-five years
was drowned in the mill pond at this
place yesterday. Dack and com
panion, Clarence Macy, were rowing
on the mill pond in light skiff. They
had taken the light craft and were on
the pond for a little pleasure trip.
Macy was propelling the craft with a
single paddle and was sculling here
and there about the pond through the
broken ice that floated on the surface
of the water. How young Dack fell
into the water is not known. He was
in the stern of the boat and Macy had
his back turned. He heard a splash
and turned to see his companion
struggling in the water. Dack could
not swim and Macy fastened to get
the boat turned SO as to reach him.
Dack was reached by the skiff but in
the effort to get him into the boat the
light craft was overturned and the
rescuer was also thrown into the
water. The boys were quite dis
lance from the shore and Macy, who
is an athlete of some little repute, did
everything in his power to save his
friend. He was encountered by heavy
clothing and pair of boots which in
stantly weighted him down and he
had a struggle to save his own life.
He sank twice and just by chance
grasped a branch hanging over him
from the bank and managed to pull
himself out. He glanced back and
saw Dack in the middle of the pond.
He sank from sight almost immedi-
ately and the body was recovered
some hours later in ten feet of water
by Macy's brother. Macy was the
only witness of the sad affair and he
is SO shocked by the occurrence as to
be unable to give a clear account of
the happening. The mother of the
boy heard OF the accident and was
soon at the shore of the pond. She
was almost crazed by the fate of the
lad
This pond has claimed quite a num-
Der of victims. The body of Isaac
Thompson was removed from its
waters but few days ago. He had
been missing some time and is sup
posed to have committed suicide.

guests entered the hall they were
confronted by a ladder leaning
against the side of the wall and the
way some avoided going under this
breeder of misfortune was quite
amusing. The ladies shook hands as
they met on the stairs, for fear of
bad luck, and when they CHANGED to
glance in the mirrors about the par.
lor they smiled sweetly at each other
for fear of consequences did they do
otherwise. The maids of the com.
pany were particularly cautious in
their movements about the house for
fear of overturning some article that
might have blighting influence up
on their matrimonial prospects dur
ing the year, and so it went during
the entire afternoon.
Refreshments garnished with four
leaf clovers were served and it was
resolved at the close OF the meeting
that all omens had been of the pro-
pitious sort for the meeting had been
held under star,-the P. e. o. star.

BIG HORSE RECORD.

Day.

Grinnell Gazette: r. j. Baker, or
Oskaloosa, one of the best known
horse buyers in Iowa, was in Grinneli
again last Saturday and succeeded in
purchasing Go head of good horses
and mules. 1t is indeed surprising
the interest which is being directed
towards the horse business in this
part OF the country. Mr.. Baker is a
thorough horse man and can size UP
horse and strike a bargain with its
owner in a very short time. 1t is re-
ported that five horses were bought
from different parties in almost as.
many minutes. The prices paid
were very good considering that
many Of the horses bought were more
or less blemished. The farmers OF
this section received more than S.
600 for the animals sold last Satur-
day, as high as $500 being paid for a
single horse and $3.50 being paid for
