CREAMERY ASSURED.
STOCK ALL SUBSCRIBED AND
COMPANY WILL ORGAN
IZE AT ONCE.

Another new enterprise and in
dustry. for Oskaioosa is assured.
The new creamery 'is a go". The
success OF the gentlemen soliciting
the sale Of a block Of stock Friday
was complete. The stock offered for
sale was disposed OF readily and the
incorporation Of the company will be
effected in a few Gays. The an
nouncement of the officers Of the
company will be made next week.
1t is the plan to get the plant in
operation at the earliest possible mo
ment and the organization OF the
company will be perfected as soon
as possible to permit the erectionof
the necessary buildings and the in
stalling of the necessary machinery
The building will be near the pow
er station of the Oskaloosa Light,
Heat, and Traction Company and it
will derive its power therefrom.
The new building will be a substan-
tial brick affair and will accommodate
a plant of good size.
The work of soliciting the local
field was accomplished by Mr.. Mil
Ter of Omaha, who has been in the
city in the interests of the Western
Creamery Company of Omaha. Mr..
H. E. O'Neill, who was in the city
at this time, has given the matter
what assistance he could. The third
member of the party was Mr.. John
Metzger, who will have charge of
the new plant.
The enterprise is taken up eager
ly by Oskaloosa business men, who
have been given opportunity to in
vest in a piece Of the stock. The
feeling has prevailed for some time
that Oskaloosa was the right point
for the location of the creamery.
The point was the securing of a
mar who had knowledge Of the
management and the working Of a
creamery. Such a man is possessed
by the new company and there a
be no question Of the success of the
enterprise.

SCORED BIG SUCCESS
Elks' Minstrel Profitable to Lodge
in ALI Ways.

The Elks' Minstrels under the d.
rection of Frederick Howe, had al
most as large an audience last night
as they entertained upon the first
evening, and the people were again
well pleased with the performance
The entertainment has been success
full in every way and the boys have
given one of the best home talent
shows ever seen here.
Mr.. Howe put the show on the
stage after ten days of work with the
people taking part. 1t seems almost
beyond btgffef that so greattah amour,
Of work could be accomplished in sc
short a time, but the show itself is
the proof of the claims made by Mr.,
Howe as to his ability to accomplish
such a feaA The Elks together with
Mr.. and Mrs. Howe are to be congrat
ulated upon the Oskaloosa success.
The entertainment of last evening
was enlivened by new jokes and quite
a number of changes. The song:

show was new, almost, in other re
spects. Among the soloists, Mr.. &c
Larson scored a decided nit agar
with his tenor ballad, and the young
ladies in their dance work were
roundly applauded. Each vas pre-
scented with a handsome bouquet o.
roses. The airship sailed in agar
successfully and unloaded its pre-
cious freight upon the stage. /
made a pretty picture.
The Hawkeye orchestra handled
the orchestrations of the music ant

Ed Bowen presided at the piano. He
has worked with the boys since the
first rehearsals and the time was a
his dictation.
Bob Grail last evening did a mono
logue before the curtain between acts
that was not on the previous evening
and he made quite a hit in his work
The people Of the city patronizet
the entertainment well and were
pleased. The Elks will receive as
their share Of the net proceeds after
all expenses are deducted, $358.07.

GOV. PEABODY
KEPT HIS WORD
CARRIES OUT HIS PLEDGE AND
RESIGNS HIS OFFICE.
MCDONALD is INAUGURATED
Colorado Thus Occupies the Unique
Position Of Having Had Three
Governors in Space Of Less
Than "a Hours.

Denver, Col, March 1S.-The bargain
made by leaders of the opposing re-
publican factions of Colorado to take
the governors chair from Alva Adams
and to seat in it Lieut.. Gov. Jesse f.
Mcdonald after permitting James III.
Peabody to hold it for one day, was
carried to a conclusion late Friday
afternoon. In fulfllment of the agree
ment which he made before theAgen-
eral assembly decided the gubernatorial
contest in his favor, Gov. James Fl.
Peabody resigned the Office in which
he was inaugurated late Thursday
afternoon. His resignation, Of which
W. S. Boynton, of Colorado Springs.
had been custodian since Wednesday,
when it was written, was filed in the
Office Of the secretary of state at APO
p. m. .M. .. ".s
Mcdonald Sworn In.
James Cowie, secretary of state, i'm
mediately certified Gov. Peabody's
resignation, and Lieut.. Gov. Mcdonald
was then sworn in as governor by Chief
Justice Gabert. There was no further
ceremony. Gov. Adams was ousted
and Gov. Peabody installed by the gen.
eral assembly about S o'clock Thurs
day afternoon and Gov. Mcdonald was
sworn in before 5 p. m. Friday. Thus.
in a space of less than "a hours, Col
orado has had three governors.
Lieut.. Gov. Mcdonald reluctantly
takes the chair which Gov. Peabody
resigned after forcing Gov. Adams out.
The lieutenant governor has taken no
part in the bitter fight over the gov
ernorship which has been waged ever
since the election on November 8. He
absolutely refused to aid his friends
in the legislature to have him made
governor, and az presiding officer in
the joint assembly he made several
rulings against the movement In his
behalf. Senator Arthur Cornforth,
president pro tempore of the senate,
becomes acting lieutenant governor by
the elevation of Lieut.. Gov. Mcdonald
to the Office Of chief executive.
Tired of the Turmoil.
Gov. Peabody transacted practically
no business of state while in the Office
Of governor. He received many callers
who urged him not to resign and also
many messages Of the same import by
telegraph and telephone. 70 all these
he replied that he did not care to hold
the chair. He said that he was tired
Of the worry and excitement of his
contest and wished to go back to his
bank in Canyon City. Half a dozen
members Of the National guard pa
trolled the corridors about the execu-
tive chamber during the day as a
guard for Gov. Peabody.

NEW REBEKAH LODGE
Rosebud Number SIS Installed at
Wright by Mrs. Ellis.

Rosedale Lodge No. sos, Daughters
of Rebekah, has been duly installed
at Wright. Mrs. LIMA Ellis, of this
city, instituted the new order. She
went via Cedar, and from there she
was taken to Wright by team. New
er was there a merrier crowd than,
those VINO met her. Some from
Kirkville, some from Rose Hill and
many from Fremont. Headed by
their captain and several musicians
with their musical instruments along,
they soon reached their destination.
The gathering was for the purpose
of instituting a new Rebekah lodge IN
the town of Wright, iowa, with Dis
trict Deputy President Columbia Ellis
as instituting officer. Nothing was
left undone. Fremont lodge confer
red the Rebekah degree in a very
creditable manner. Mrs. Ellis with
the assistance of some of the FIRE.
mont ladies' installed the otncers and
declared Rosedale RebrkaR Lodge
NO. 900 regularly Ills tlLuLSu anu
launched for business. 1t was very
pleasant to Mrs. Ellis 10 be there, as
some of the gentlemen had been her
school directors over twenty-four
years back, and several who were in
structed by her in the mysteries of
the Rebekah degree had been her
pupils in school over twenty-five
years ago; and how grad this lady
was to meet so many who had been
her girl and boy friends in years
gone by, whom she had not seen for
SO many years. AT the close they
were taken to the hotel where ele-
CANT refreshments were served, max
ing all visitors wish Rosedale Re
bekah Lodge would soon invite them
again.
Their prospects are t1attering for
n of the best growing lodges in the
district, starting with a membership
of t~wenty-nine. The kindly feeling
one to another makes one safe In
saying they will prosper If they weary
not in well doing.
