Y. M. c. A. DEDICATION
The New Building at Buxton is
Opened to the Public.

Buxton, Iowa, July 6.-The new Y.
M. c. A. building, given to the people
of the Buxton mining camp and town
by those interested in the Consolida-
ton Coal Company, was dedicated in
an elaborate service on the evening
of July Fourth. The dedicatory SER
vice was interesting and inspiring and
in itself had an influence over every
one of the eight hundred or more
souls gathered together in the large
auditorium of the building for the &C.
casion.
The building is not yet completed
in some of the minor details, but the
work of furnishing had so far pro-
crossed as to make the dedicatOry
program possible on the day of the
nations birth.
The people of Buxton are proud of
this new institution that has been set
down among them and the occasion
keenest interest. The progress OF
the building has been eagerly watch
ed by the town as a whole and much
of the enthusiasm engendered during
the weeks of the buildings construc-
ton had centered in the dedicatory
services which were to give this new
institution over to the uses of the
people for whom it was intended.
The large auditorium was crowded
to its fullest capacity On the evening
of the fourth, and many who sought
entrance could not be accommodated
More than eight hundred people were
seated and standing in the room.
Program.
L. E. Johnson, the new secretary,
who is to preside over the building
and guard the interests of the assocIa-
ton, was chairman of the evening.
He presided with grace becoming
the occasion and made a most excel
lent impression with all who attended
the services. The program was rath-
err extended and elaborate, but it was
interesting in every detail and was
carefully followed by the large audi.
| ence.
Excellent music was furnished by
the orchestra and the band of Buxton,
an organization of which the people
of the place are justly proud. SeIec,
tions by these organizations were fol
lowed by the singing of America
led by the band.
The dedicatory prayer was offered
by Rev. J. w. Somerville, of Oska
loosa Methodist Episcopal church.
Responsive reading by the audi
ence. The 91st Psalm being the one
selected for the purpose.
Then followed the singing of 9
hymn and an appropriate invocation
offered by Rev. Williamson, of Bux
| ton.
| The Buxton band played sacred
medley and Ben G. Buxton followed
in making a formal tender of the
building and the property to the as
sociation to be held and used for tn,
purposes set forth by the association
as long as the town of Buxton SHOULD
endure. Mr.. Buxton was brief but t,
the point, and his talk was POSITIVE
!, both in manner and terms.
Il Secretary Johnson made the forma
acceptance of the tender, voicing il
large measure the gratitude of tn

a Great Game on the 4th.

A Great Game On the '4th.
Oskaloosa Quakers again evinced
their ability to play good ball Monday
afternoon before a crowd Of almost
fifteen hundred people. They defeat
ed the fast Ottumwa Standpat gang,
out-playing them several times.
Twelve innings were necessary, but
the Quakers in that time won the
game several times. Fast bail was
seen on all corners and the big crowd
got the full value of it's money, and
showed their appreciation of the
work in amost enthusiastic manner.
Oskaloosa was hitting Converse
safely, but they were not punched
enough for an earned run. The first
run Of the game was made by Ottum-
wa. Dunlap walked, was advanced
on Curtis sacrifice and came home
after Beaver was caught out in deep
center by Bradshaw. An error on the
part of third base let in another score
in the ninth. Teal got a hit and adj
vanced on Converses safety. But
for this bobble the score would have
been on, two in the ninth. This run
tied the score and the Quakers had to
hold the visitors down for three more
innings The home lads made their
first two in the eight inning. Brad
shaw was hit by Converse and walk
ed; Donahue singled. Then came
Moody and made a two-bagger that
brought in the runners, one with an
earned run. Joe Zalusky brought in
the winning run. He made a two
base hit in the twelfth and earned
his run on a splendid drive just in the
right place and at the right time by
Bradshaw.
Fred Bridges pitched a somewhat
remarkable game. His delivery in
the innings after the ninth was ter
rife and the batters striking at him
were guessing and trying to keep out
Of the way of the shots. The balls
were so hot that even Moody, Oska-
loosa's heavy catcher, had difficulty
in holding him. This caused a pass,
ed ball on a third strike of Converse
in the eleventh inning and he got a
chance to stay on first, after having
struck out, and there he died
Bridges won his game, but it took
long and hard work to do it. The
boy has had many admirers here be-
fore, but he made host of new
friends yesterday.
Kensel made as pretty a piece OF
in-field work all through the game as
has been seen here this season. He
performed one difficult feat that
brought forth a tumult of applause
The play was made in the twinkling
Of an eye and two Ottumwa men were
down and the side out. Kennedy hit
terrific drive that started out be.
tween short and second. 1t was q
fast and furious and hot enough fol
-three& hags. But Kensel was there
He had just time to leap into the all
and stretch forth his left arm
Wha x! went the ball into the left
hama, but there it stuck Spencer
who was on first, started for second
He saw the catch Kensel made, al
most fell down in his effort to stop
AS Kensel touched the ground he
shot the ball to Donahue at first and
Spencer was out by fifteen feet.

OFFICER SAVES LIVES.
Policeman Chas. Watson, of Waterloo,
Rescues Two Women.

Waterloo, Ia, July 6.-Charles Wat
son, of this city, is the hero of the
police force today. In fierce fire
early this morning the officer made
his way twice through suffocating
smoke to the second floor of build
ing and at danger of his own life res
cued Mrs. S. Rozen and Mrs. A. E..
Flint, both of whom had fallen in a
stupor from the effects of the smoke.

An Inspiration to Others.

Concerning OskalOosa's rally to the
Courier says: Holding down the
bottom rung of the percentage ladder
as if with an unrelenting persistency,
the Oskaloosa club mas never been
without the heartiest support of its
fans, and now when the news comes
that this spirit which has prevailed
from the beginning Of the season, is
to continue until the end, it carries
with it much more than it expresses.
1t means that the maiden year of the
Iowa State league will pass without q
hitch that the sport next year will be
elevated materially and the. prospects,
therefore, for an increase in the
leagues finances more than bright.
Under the tutelage of Playing Mana
ger Donahue the Oskaloosa Quakers
have shown some little Improvement,
although they are far from strong in
some of the most essential depart
ments. With an increase in the treas
ury of the association, however, g
canvas for better material will be
made, which will undoubtedly result
in a change in the percentage column
eventually. Let the enthusiastic spir
it of the Oskaloosa fans be an exam
pie to the local members of fandom
The Ottumwa association is in a fail
condition, but the sport should be
more heavily patronized considering
the ball played by the Standpatters
and what one receives in return fol
the admission fee"

Ottumwa, July 6-The first of the
first three games of the second half

recorder of the conVocation. and at the
same time it was ordered that a COM
mittee of three be appointed to ex-
anime the credentials of those claiming
seats in this convocation. These
Knights were Sir Leander Ransom,
Sir John S. Graham and Sir George

presented the following report, which

nobly striven and is still a 1ourishing
lodge. It's officers and members may
well feel proud of the splendid record
that il has made. Brother Saschel
Woods, the first master of the lodge,
died in 1854, and the Grand Lodge, in
recognition of his worth and useful
hess, erected a monument, thus per-
petuating the memory of the first
master of a Masonic lodge in this
State.

organizing a grand commandery of

At this time there were three char
tered anderies-California No. l,
which had membership of fifty-three;
Sacramento No. 2, with sixty members
enrolled, and Pacific No. 3, with but
seventeen members all told. The total
number was 130, while in January, 1904
there were forty-two chartered COM
1nanderies and some 1899 members. So
you see the growth of the Knights in
this State has not been slow nor has
il been forced.

his life in 1853, shot TO death by Piute

and worth.
A charter, bearing date OF November
9. 184S, under the name of California
Lodge No. 13, was issued by the Grand
Lodge of the District of Columbia
This charter authorized Brothers Levi
Stowell as worshipful master; William
Van Voorhies, as senior warden. and
B. T. McDougall, as Junior warden, to
open and hold lodge in the city OF
San Francisco. In conformity with
this authority, Brother Stowell opened
the lodge in San Francisco in October,

On January 81. 1849, the Grand Lodge
Of Connecticut issued a charter grant
ing full power TO Brothers Caleb Fen
ner, as worshipful master; James w.
Goodrich. as senior warden, and Elizur
Hubben. as junior warden, to open and
hold q lodge in the Territory of Cali
fornia. In conformity with the au-
thority granted, lodge was opened
by Brother Fenner in the city of Sac
ramento, under the name of Connecti-
cut Lodge No rs.
Besides these three regularly char
tered lodges, there were two others
New Jersey Lodge. located at Sacra-
mento under dispensation granted by
the deputy grand master of the State
of New Jersey; and Benicia Lodge, un-
der a dispensation from the Independ-
ent Grand Lodge of Louisiana.
On the 18th day of April, 1850, pur-
suant to notice duly given, delegates
from the aforenamed lodges assembled

delegates from Western Star Lodge,
No 9S Of Benton City, were Brothers

Brother Charles L. Gilman of San
Francisco, a past grand master of
Maryland, was chosen as chairman of
the convention and Brother B. d. Hy-
am as secretary. Under what is known
as the American Doctrine" it was nee
essary that there should be present the
representatives of at least three reg
ularly chartered lodges in any State to
entitle such State to establish a Grand
Lodge. Consequently New Jersey. Lodge
and Benicia Lodge. not being chartered
lodges, could not participate in form
ing the Grand lodge of California; the
delegates were, however invited to
take part in the deliberations of the
convention.

any record of the reason for this
