COMPANY TO MEET
Sister Concern Of LiIIooet to Hold An.
nual Meeting.

nual Meeting.
Iowa Falls, Feb. 20.-The Hawkeye
Gold Mining company, an erstwhile
product of this city that has been
transplanted to Cedar Rapids, is now
to have it's inning and resident stock
holders in this twin sister of the fam
GUS Lillooet are just in receipt of no
tees of the annual meeting Of the COM
pany, to be held at Cedar Rapids on
March 16. Every notice is accompan-
led by an urgent request to the stock
holder to be sure and send proxy in
the event he cannot himself attend
the meeting in person.
Four men prominent in Iowa have
consented to act for such stockholders
as cannot attend the meeting and
these are Judges Emil McClain and
Horace e. Deemer of the state judi
ciary, Ex-Governor Frank D. Jackson
and G. B. Pray, both we'll known Des
Moines citizens. These gentlemen are
said to be heavy stockholders in this
company, which sprung into existence
when the stock of Iowa-Lillooet was
touching the high places.
The Hawkeye company was sprung
ny uleu WHO udu DSSu largely luIST-
ested in the Lillooet company and the
stock of the new company was all COB
bled up by anxious stockholders in a
few hours No sooner was it on the
market than it went to a premium and
like the Lillooet holdings was rated as
a "sure thing" and those in on the
ground floor" were congratulated
With the collapse of the Lillooet,
however, and its resultant tale of woe,
the Hawkeye company suffered from
the reaction and became involved in
some litigation, the adjustment of
which will be heard in the next term
of the federal court. Geo. T. Hedges,
the we'll known real estate promoter,
of Cedar Rapids, is secretary of the
Hawkeye company and succeeded B.
B. Bliss, who was one of the promoters
of both mining ventures. At the an
nual meeting of the Hawkeye COM
pany to be held next month a new set
of directors will be chosen and other
business handled that will determine
the future of the company, which has
a claim on the Frazer river in the Brit
ish Columbia and is incorporated I'M
der the laws of the kings domain.

VAN BUREN, COUNTY FARMERS.
Interesting Institute Just Concluded at
keosauuua,

Keosauqua, Feb. 90 - The Farm
ers' County Institute was in session
Friday and Saturday at the Congrega-
.tional church in this place. The at
tendance was the largest had at sim
liar meeting of that body in Keosau-
qua. The roads were good, farmers
could come in sleighs and the weather
was not cold. However, the bulk of
the attendance was from the immedi-
ate neighborhood Of this place. There
were several farmers present from
more distant parts of the county but
not as many as should have been. nor
as many perhaps. considering condi-
ton OF wind and weather as the Off
GERS of the association expected. Hon.
Jos. S. Trigg the well known agricult-
ural writer of northern Iowa, now of
the State Register, was here during all
OF the sessions and to his active part
taken in the exercises is due much of
the success of the meeting. A number
OF goood papers were read before the
meeting and these brought out inter-
esting and at times lively discussions.
L. L. Campbell had paper on
Theory and Practice in Road Work; :"
e. F. Pittman on Bee Culture;" Rev.
H. A. Ingham one on "The Farmer as
Factor in Political. Social and Com
mercial Life" Garfield Strait one on
Seed Corn Selection" and others
Mr.. Trigg addressed large audience
Friday evening and besides made sew
eral other interesting and instructive
talks to the institute. To say that it
was a profitable meeting as we'll as a
pleasant one, for farmers and all other
attendants is simply expressing what
is the general talk.

FAVOR HARPER.
oskaloosa Grand Army Men unani
nous.

\
Captain S. H. Harper, in his contest
for the position of department COM
mander of the Iowa Grand Army of the
Republic, will probably have the unan-
imous support Of the delegation from
the Oskaloosa camp to the annual en-
campment which meets in that city
during the month of May. Concerning
a recent visit made to Oskaloosa by
Captain Harper, the Herald of that city
has the following:
Captain S. H. Harper of Ottumwa
was host at a dinner party given to
several friends Of Phil Kearney Post
G. A. r. of this city, at Hotel Downing
last evening. The affair was a quiet
one, but was most enjoyable There
were present, Colonel McNeill, Major
Loring. Commander Gentry Of Phil
Kearney Post, Robert Kissick, H. w.
Gleason, w. R. Cowan, j. B. McCurdy,
S. ]. Dutton and G. Woodruff.
Captain Harper is prominent as q
candidate from Cloutman Post of OF
tumwa for department commander of
the G. A. R. in Iowa and was in the
city yesterday looking after the inter
ests of his candidacy. Captain Harper
has been honored by the state senator
ship from Wapello county and was a
strong supporter of the Grand Army
bills which were passed by the legis-
lature during his service.
Since it is entertaining the state
encampment of the Grand Army in this
city the local post will go to the en-
campment without being pledged to
support any candidate and the twenty
two delegates will vote as they see fit.
Ordinarily the delegates would be in
structed and the number of votes will
make considerable figure in the to-
tai result of the election.
ut is declared by army men in this
city that Captain Harper will probably
have the unanimous support of the To-
cal delegation"
