test primary of it's existence.
"There are seven candidates
for the Republican nomination
for Sheriff in Tyler, and they are
all indulging in a merry war for
election" said Mr.. Hardman.
There are two candidates for
Prosecuting Attorney, and both
these men are indulging in hot
fight, too, so that things are pref
ty interesting down our way"

question as to who really secured
the majority in some quarters.
Mr.. Hartman said that while Te-
ter got the majority of delegates
in Sistersville, Dawson got all OF
them in the country.-Wheeling

GREAT UNIVERSITY
81 FOR OSKALOOSA
NATIONAL INSTITUTION MAY BE
LOCATED HERE.
LAND FOR SITE is OPTIONED.
Iowa Definitely Chosen For Its Loca
ton AS Being the Most
Centrally Located State
in the Union.

A religious organization, known as
the National Holiness Association OF
America" has for the past FIVE years
contemplated the establishment of a
National University. The question
has been discussed at It's meetings for
those years and in June, 1904, at a
regular meeting of the National Asso-
citation it's establishment was decided
upon and Iowa chosen for its location,
it being the most centrally located
from a national standpoint. At the
same time the Council, representing
the National Association, appointed a
committee to select suitable loca
tion within the borders of Iowa.
In connection with the university
it is proposed to secure enough
ground to erect thereon a pavilion
with a seating capacity of at least
ten thousand for the purpose of holo
ing annually a National camp meet
ing; also to provide suitable Duild
ings for the purpose of transactine
the business of this great organization
from a central point.
OskaIoosa is Favored.
Oskaloosa has been visited by this
committee. One hundred and twenty
five acres of land adjoining the city
limits on the east Of Oskaloosa has
been optioned. The State Holiness
Association of Iowa is in a position
and now pledged to donate fifty thous

THE PARKER CARNIVAL.
Amusement Company Desires to Re,
turn to oskaIoosa.

J. H. Hien is in receipt of a letter
from J.. A. Darnaoy, who is now man
ager and part owner of the Parker
Amusement Company, stating that he
will be here in few days to look
up the prospects of exhibiting in Os-
kaloosa again next summer. Mr.. OAR
naby, it will be remembered, was with
the company last year, but at that
time had charge of only two or three
of the attractions. He has since DC
quired half interest in the concern,
and will be general manager this
year. The company this year has a
larger show and carries many more
free attractions than heretofore. Car
nivals under due restriction furnish
lots of amusements and attract many
strangers to the city.

the championship and protect my

pion of the world and mean to retain
it."
Nelson Says Roche Favored Britt.
81 had all the best Of the fight"
said Nelson. Britt was breaking
ground and holding on continuously.
Referee Roche made no effort to
break Britt except to give me the
worst of it. I will night Britt again
under the same conditions for $4,000

cree. I believe he is the only referee
who knows when a man has won or
lost" ,#
Betting Brisk. ~
Betting was brisk all day. In the
morning bets were registered at the
odds of 10 to Z, with Britt the favor
ite. Later on, however, owing to the
volume of Nelson money ODDS chang
ed to 10 to 8, with Britt favorite. Just
at ring time the betting was even.
1t was reported tnat Battling Mel
son had placed about $1,506 to $4,000
on himself at odds varying from 1U
to s to 10 to 9. Britt, on the other
hand, placed but a modest sum on his
own chances of winning, being con-
tent to strive for the purse and gloIy
which victory would bring.
The PreIinninaries. #ss
Two preliminaries were worked OFF
prior to the main event. Tom Moran
and Frank Delile of the United States
army met in a four round contest at
130 pounds, while George Herbert and
Jim Baywards (colored) entertained
the crowd in scheduled eight round
go.
Delile was given the decision over
Moran at the end Of four rounds oi
tame fighting.
In the second preliminary George
Herbert was given the decision ovel

Mechanics Pavilion, San Francisco
Dec. 21.-At the end of the twentieth
round, Jimmy Britt, of San Francisco
and Battling Nelson, of Chicago, fight
ing like a pair of bull dogs, the gong
sounded the end Of the contest and
Referee Roche unhesitatingly placed
his hand on the Californian as the
winner of the contest. In the closing
rund Britt was puching the Chicago
boy all over the ring, but his blows
lacked the sufficient force to put a
quietus upon his is,opponent. The fight
was an exemplification of how much
punishment a human being can en-
dure and not succumb.
At several stages of the fight Nelson
was badly punished, but he always
kept gamely up to the firing line and
all through the twenty rounds he fore
ed the fighting. In one or two in
stances he had Britt in distress, but
Britt's excellent generalship and the
advice of his seconds saved him from
going too close to the danger point.
Referee Roche announced that ht
gave the fight to Britt on cleaner hit

The house was one OF the larges
ever seen in San Francisco, and it Il
estimated that the fighters will divide

Ioosa and Mahaska county will accom-
plish this result.
The Holiness Association.
A word as to the association bring
ing about this great educational insti-
tuition. In the first place 1t is non
sectarian. A. it's last meeting which
was neld in Des Moines in June, 1904,
there were twenty-six denominations
represented. 1t is national in its or
ganization and influence, there being
now more than thirty states Of the
union with regular organized societies.
1t is the purpose of the organiza-
tion to elect two university trustees
from each of the states where the Ho-
liness Association has an organiza-
tion and to provide a regular univers-
ity fund for the support of the institu-
tion. In, this manner every state into
and through which this movement has
permeated will bring to Oskaloosa and
Mahaska county its wealth.
No Local Affair.
The idea of a local college is ridi-
culed by the Association behind this
institution. 1t is Of national import
and this means much to any city in
Iowa.
1t is not necessary to attempt to
say what such an institution would
mean to Oskaloosa. Let each and ev-
cry person put his shoulder to the
wheel and secure this university.
Commercial Club Active.
The, matter has been presented to
the Commercial Club of the city in a
definite way and solicitations will be
made by committee during the week
between Christmas and New Years.
Quite a number of the prominent bus
mess people of the city have been
seen and talked to concerning the
proposition. 1t meets with general
favor and assistance has been prom.
ised from a large number of citizens,
Benefits Would Be Many. s..
In addition to the university and
tabernacle buildings there would be a
large administration building erected
possibly in the city, IN which would
be located the business of the associa
ton and wherein the national officers
would have their offices. 0skalooss
would be the center and the head Of
the business of the national associa
tion. People would be brought here
from all parts Of the country and the
benefits to the city can hardly bt
over-estimated. Aside from the per
manent increase in population which
the university would bring to the city
and the annual gathering of hundreds
Of students, the national camp meet
ing would bring several thousand peo
:. pie within the city every year.

A Crop Of eo,ooo,oo Bushels Of
Wheat Will Be the Record
Of 1904.

Inc results OF the tnreS1luS IN
Western Canada are not yet COM
pleted, but from information at hand,
it is safe to say that the average per
acre will be reasonably high, and a
fair estimate will place the total yield
of wheat at 60,0O0,000 bushels. At pres
emit prices this will add to the wealth
of the farmers nearly $60,000,000. Then
think of the immense yield of oats and
barley and the large herds Of cattle,
for all Of which good prices will be
paid.
The following official telegram was
sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Min
lister of the Interior. to Lord strath-
coma. High Commissioner for Can

that under conditions of unusual diff

reaped and is now secure from sub

aggerated. The wheat Of Manitoba
and Northwest Territories will aggre-
gate from fifty-five to sixty million
bushels. The quality is good, and the
price is ranging around one dollar per
bushel."

the United States will knock at the
doors Of Canada for its bread. Rail-
road men see such a day. it may be
hoped that statesmen also will see It,
and arrange their reciprocities while
they may do so gracefully. Americans
