THE WRESTLING MATCH.
Heavy Weight Champions Entertain
at Base Ball Park.

The first of series of outdoor ev-
ening entertainments was held at the
base ball park Friday evening. The
attraction was a wrestling bout be-
tween Farmer Burns and Frank
Gotch. the heavyweight champion
wrestler of the world. The crowd
was small, but some pleasing work
was seen.
A couple of amateur preliminary
events were seen. The Howell broth.
ers boxed five rounds and proved won
derfully clever with the gloves.
An amateur wrestling bout between
Messrs. Thompson and McGlumphy
proved very interesting. The young
sters went at the work with terrible
energy. Thompson secured the decis.
ion, securing the three falls in fifty
seconds, one minute and five seconds,
and in three minutes.
Gotch won three falls from Burns
in a very pretty contest, in which
some clever and scientific work was
seen. Gotch proved himself man OF
wonderful strength and skill. He
won the first fall in five minutes and
twenty seconds. Burns took the sec.
ond in twelve minutes and six sec.
onds. Gotch claimed the third and
fourth in fourteen minutes and three
seconds.

BOOK STORE CHANGE.
Mrs. CoveI Sells to Mrs. Hugg and
Miss Ryan.

Mrs. H. D. Covel, who since 1884
has been in business in this city, has
sold her store and good will to Mrs.
A. A. Hugg and Miss Lucille Ryan,
and possession has been given. Mrs.
Covels book store is decidedly part
of the Oskaloosa business world ana
has been made so by the thrift and
excellent management of the lady at
its head. The regret is general that
Mrs. Coyel and her sister, Miss M. G.
Billiard, are to leave us for SUMMER
lands, where fruit and flowers and
climate abound, and the hearty good
wishes Of a host of friends and ac.
quaintances go with them to the new
store which is ready for them in Fer
nando, California, twenty-one miles
northwest Of Los Angeles. They ex-
pect to remain two weeks longer in
this city and then go for visit at
their old home in Dubuque. Enroute
to California they VIA stop for a Wis.

MINISTERIAL COLONY.
Wives of Preachers demonstrating
Claims in Dakota.

their little snacks far away from civ.
ilization. They have a Sunday school
in good working order and are MAX
ing pleasant outing of their home
stealing. Several shacks are built
close together so that there is no lack
of companionship. -.
The lady is the proud possessor of
a string of ratt1es from a rattlesnake
which she herself killed, and she has
the distinction of being the only wom'
an in, Ne party that has accomplished
the feat. Once the horses got out
and there they were a party of lone
women, miles from anywhere, with
only the great blue sky above and the
miles and miles Of prairie about them.
Another time while out driving, a
party of ladies', of which Mrs. .Hud-
dleston was one, met a great shaggy
wild buffalo, face to face. The day
before he had chased man, but even
dumb brutes are gallant to woman,
and so Mr. Buffalo pretended that he
did not see them and never raised

ness of the plains must be a Keller,
and is so considered by those fortu-
nate enough to be demonstrating In
South Dakota. The wife and daugh-

known members of the party. The
wife and daughter. Miss Fife, of Ell.

happy company. All are known to
many friends in this city, especially
among the Methodists.

ALMOST KILLED.
HIT ON HEAD WITH SHOVEL,
An Italian Laborer at Searsboro Deals
Deadly and Unexpected Blow
His Victim Rendered Uncon-

saulted Friday evening at Searsboro
by an Italian track worker. He was

ing. Even now he is irrational and
can make no statement as to the
cause of the assault made upon him.
The assailant was arrested at Sears
boro and was taken to the jail at
Montezuma, where the preliminary
hearing will be held. Nicola was
brought to this city and taken to his
home where every attention was Civ
en- to him. Railway Physician Bar
ringer is in attendance.
George Mccormick, one Of Nicolas
brakemen, saw the assault. Nicola
was id charge of a work train that
has been doing work in the neighbor-
hood of Searsboro. The hour was
near closing time for the day and
preparations were in progress for the
return to this city with the train
Nicola was walking at the side of the
train. * "dago" suddenly stepped
from behind car and struck the con-
ductor on the top Of the head with
the heel of shovel. The blow was
terrific and Nicola sank to the ground
without a word. But in his uncon-
seriousness he seemed to suffer great
ly and his means and cries as he was
taken home were distressing.
No cause for the assault is known.
1t is possible that Nicola had some
trouble with the fellow at some pre-
vious time, but this can not be known
until the injured man can make some
statement. The man is severely hurt
and the outcome of the injury can not
be stated at the present time.

for light on this point. Even the re-
ports of the Russian losses are so
guarded that scarcely anything has
been added to the store of knowledge
concerning development of modern ma
val warfare.
The Baltic sea fleet and personnel are
very dear to the car, who proudly re-
views it more frequently than is usual
with monarchs in such matters. The
sailors are fine-looking fellows, broad
shouldered, and as a general thing
BEARDED they are the equal of any 9TH
er nation in seamanship and are as
brave as the Cossacls on land. These
men may find fighting at home, how
ever, as it may not be expedient to join
the Red Sea squadron in view of the
threatening cloud of war gathering
nearer home.
Dispatches from important capitals
of Europe indicate unrest among the
great powers hitherto holding aloof
from the epoch-making clashes in the
east, and hereditary hatred between
the Briton and Muscovite seems to find
excuse for quarrel over the English
expedition into Thibet and the charge
that Japan has received more than pas
sive friendship ever since hostilities
commenced There is greater activity
in war preparations in England, Ger
many, Denmark and Sweden than at
any other time since 1880, while even
Spain is hurriedly recuperating her

These French-Canadian inhabitants OF

The furnishing of the shanties of the

does very well for week or two of va

The Russian navy may be said to be

the Spring and Summer Will Bring.

ways | know of utilizing odd lengths of
chiffon, jet. embroideries, ETC. Some are
cut rather like the old-fashioned Zouave,
and are extremely becoming with the
wide kid bands which We all love, owing
TO the fact that they make the waist
look quite two or three inches smaller.
Then there is the question of using
lace. The lace coatee is permissible on
ever so many occasions, but with sale
remnants it is question of cutting your
coat according to your cloth. Therefore,
according to the amount of lace at your
disposal, you can have short coatee, a
three-quarter length coat, and, for even
ing wear, long Overcoat of lace and
chiffon, fully as long as the train of
your frock. The latter will probably
not be made out of a sale remnant.
Net is a good substitute for lace, but it
requires a chiffon lining Then there are
pretty grenadines which always seem TO
be offered at such extremely moderate
prices. These are charming for the
loose empire teagown which is always
in vogue, with it's wide knotted sash of
oriental satin or crepe de chine, or girdle
of gold or silver.
One of the illustrations is of simple
frock for early spring to be made in dark
green Pirle-finished cloth, these Prize
finished cloths will not spot or cookie
with the rain The bodice is finely
stitched and made with sloping Shout
ders, while the skirt is perfectly plain.
The incest waist belt you can possibly
have will be one in soft green suede,
matching exactly the color of the cloth,
and finished in front with large square
buckle of dull gold.
A Partisan friend sends me the follow
ing points from that gay fashion center:
The short bolero continues to gain
favor. Corduroys and very narrow
striped velveteens are worn, the skirts
made a trottoir, and braids and buttons
being the only permissible trimmings
on the charmingly becoming little
boleros.
Every one seems so glad that the
bolero is again revived, and there can
be no doubt that the average Partisan
figure looks much better when the waist
is@defined, with a pouched effect above
it, especially with the short skirt and
the plain Breton sailor hat, worn well
oN ar the face, softened with the draped
lace veil
Most of the new short skirts are
trimmed with graduated bands of satin.
