TOO FREE WITH A GUN
JOHN Grub Lands in Jail for Shoot
ing Ed Turner.

One John Grub INDUCED in some
reckless shooting in a crowd Friday
night, gathered at the Turner black.
smith shop, and new lies in jail
charged with assault with intent to
kill. Ed Turner was hit by one of
the bullets but not badly wounded
a company of between twenty and
thirty men had gathered at the Tur-
ner blacksmith shop on High avenue
west after the adjournment of the
ward caucuses TO have a key of beer
and social good time. 1t seems
that the affair was a sort of invita-
ton doings and the attendants at the
gathering were for the greater part
those who had been asked in. John
Grub, it is said, ''buttea in" without
invitation and seemed TO be looking
for trouble Some one Of those pres
ent at the time was making sort Of
speech about something and another
one Of the party attempted to stop
him. This started an argument
Grub was standing on the outside of
the crowd and by the side of Lon
Stringfellow and near to Ernest Cur
ry. Ed Turner was standing at some
little distance from the trio and rest
ing his hand against the side of the
shop. Grub took exception to some
thing that was said during the argu-
ment and pulled out gun and com
menced shooting He stuck the re-
volver fairly into the face of young
Stringfellow and pulled the trigger.
The ball just grazed the side of the
boys face. A second shot followed
the first and the ball struck the side
of the index finger of Turner as he
had his hand planted against the side
of the wall Stringfellow jumped on
to Grub, threw him down and tried
to get the gun away from him. The
men struggled on the floor while the
crowd stampeded and got out of the
place in the twinkling of an eye, al
most. Grubb sprang to his feet and
bolted after the crowd and got away
into the darkness. He was arrested
later at the home Of Minnie Grubb
Information against the fellow was
sworn out by Ernest Curry before Es-
quire Stanley. Grubb's bond was
fixed at five hundred dollars in de-
fault of which he was sent to Jail.
Turner is not badly hurt. The bull.
let cut the side of the index finger
and took out a chunk of skin and
muscle of the finger, and the wound
required some attention, but will
cause no serious inconvenience.

Women's Kidneys,

Women are more often afflicted
with kidney disorders than men, bur
attribute the symptoms to diseases
peculiar to their sex, while in reality
the kidneys are deranged. Nervous.
ness, headache, puffy or dark circles
under the eyes, pain in the back, are
signs of kidney trouble that must not
be ignored, or serious malady will
result. Foley's Kidney Cure has re-
stored the health of thousands of
weak, nervous, broken down women.
1t sops irregularities and strengthens
the urinary organs. 1t purifes the
blood and benefits the whole system.

On account OF extreme WSdehSA
conditions and resulting sickness the
past month, our report shows a fall
ing off in the average daily attend
ance. While 1891, given in the
table, is l31 short of the average In
October, it is good enough, every
thing considered, to indicate a grow
ing public sentiment in regard to reg
ular attendance at school.
The fact, as shown in the state SUI
perintendent's report, that Oskaloosa
ranked first among the nineteen or
twenty largest towns and cities Of
Iowa in it's school attendance last
year should inspire just and reas-
enable pride among our people in the
town and its schools.
In the Oskaloosa Herald of Feb.
18th we noticed the following which
will bear repeating: "A glance at the
statistics shows that tine cost of tut
ton ranges from $1.63 per month In
Muscatiae to $2.96 in West Des
Moines. The average cost of tuition
per month for each pupil in the Oska-
loosa schools is SITS. Only three OF
the cities in the table given educate
their children at a less cost, while in
fifteen the cost was higher" (Nine-
teen leading cities were given.)
Continuing the article says: mo
other city in the state has as large
an average attendance at the public
schools as Oskaloosa. Sixty-two
children in every 100 (from to 81
years of age) are attending the pub
lie schools regularly. Fort Madison
makes the poorest showing with only
81 children in every 100 OF school age
in regular attendance" See page SO
of state superintendent report for
these and other statistics.
Our schools are among the best in
the per cent Of attendance on the en-
rollment and on the average number
belonging. No other schools in the
state so far as we know can approach
Oskaloosa in the smallness of it's tar
dy record in recent years. These
facts are the more encouraging be-
cause they are not ancient history,
but indicate present growth and ten
dency.
The rooms reporting no hardness
last month were Nos. /, 2, 7, and 10
in First ward; Nos, and in Second
ward; Nos. 2, 8, 4, 5, 6, Z and s in
Third ward; Nos. 5, and in Fourth
