MRS. HAWK ALSO HURT
Further Developments in Spring
Creek Shooting ARRAY.

A new chapter in the shooting af-
fray at Spring Creek in which John
Hawk punctured his neighbor, Edgar
Vests right ear, was developed Fri
day evening when the officers, armed
with warrant for Mrs. Hawk, found
that lady belfast from the injuries
received in the scrap of the morning.
She claimed to have received injuries
on the side by blow which rendered
her unable to leave her bed. The
woman will be brought for trial later.
Hawk was arraigned before Justice
Bacon in the afternoon and released
upon $4,000 bond, pending the pre-
liminary examination on Tuesday
next.
West was held in Justice Prichett's
court on warrant charging the theft
of the $4,000 over which the trouble
arose, and also upon a warrant charg-
ing assault with intent to commit
great bodily injury. Hawk has an
injured hand which received it's
wound from some heavy, blunt piece
of metal with which it was struck.
According to authorities, indications
point to probability of West having
had metal "knucks" which he used in
the scrap. He is held On bond Of
$4,000.

TOO NASTY CLEAN.
Soap and Bathing Are Detrimental
to Health.

Chicago, April ST don't believe
in soaping Some people are better
without bathing, and l am sure too
much bathing is not good
In these words DR.. Mary A. Sey-
mour startled the Promotion OF
Health Club last night with her reply
to DIR. Cornelia Clafiins advice to
take two baths day with liberal use
of soap.
I'VE are not dirty enough" declared
DIR. James c. Price, who joined in
the discussion. THE fact is, we are
too clean. Children are not dirty
enough. In my, practice 1 have no
ticed that the greatest sickness ana
the largest number of fatal cases are
among those who use soap and are
over-particular about bathing. We
ought to eat more mud and clay. The
trouble with the present generation
is that it doesn't eat its peck of dirt a
year.

West, too, is under arrest, charged

three dollars, out of which the trouble
grew. West this morning found an
anonymous note upon his doorstep
charging him with the theft. This
he claims, the Hawks wrote, and they
deny. He Immediately went to the
Hawk home and declares he was met
by Mrs. Hawk, who held a revolver IN
her hand and the old man, who car

says, started to graz the gun, and mis-

CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK FOR
BUSINESS AS SEEN BY
BLACK DIAMOND.

Chicago, April S.---1'he Black Dla-
mond, official organ of the coal I'M
dustry, reviewing the western trade,
today says:
Conditions in western bitum,nous
trade continue more or less draggy,
with prices on car service coal or
fered at Chicago and other points
on the lowest basis or the season.
In the domestic sizes of coal appar-
entity there is no demand, and the
supply on track is increasing, with
the result that some very great sacri-
fees have been made on the part OF
shipping companies to dispose ~
product which has accumulated with
them. Losses sustained by shippers
of some of this product amount to
as much as fifty cents a ton over tho
cost Of production, including car ser,
vice charges, which have accrued III
the meantime. This shows the state
of trade, but as soon as the present
accumulation of the domestic blum
nous Goals are cleaned up it is an
ticipated that the market will show
some tendency toward recovery.
"On the steam grace of bituminous
coal run-of-mine from both the west
.ern and eastern fields continues OH
a low basis. This is particularly true
where the coal is drawing car serTIee
and where market has not been
found for it. Production in the lead
ing districts is at a low point, how.
ever, and in many instances does not
represent the operation of the mines
more than one day in two weeks.
Under these circumstances, as soon
as the present spring accumulation
is cleaned up and the market is re-
stricted to the newly mined coal,
there ought to be a recovery or price
to at least the basis Of cost"

c. A. R. SOLICITATIONS
Everybody's Help is Needed for the
Big Encampment.

Oskaloosa is soon to be called upon
to extend the open hand of hospitality
as never before in the history of the
city. Our people viii be host to the
state encampment of the Grand Army
Of the Republic. The entertainment
of the great gathering which will pc
with us will be no easy matter, and
the resources Of our patriotic citizens
is to be tried to its capacity. Every
available room to be had will be re-
quired to make possible the shelter
ing of the thousands of visitors who
wiz throng the city during the days
of the convention. 1t will be neces-
sary for Oskaloosa's citizens to enter
tain the boys even to the point of in
convenience. The entertainment is
not gratuitous, but will be paid for at
the usual rates. Lodging and break
fast will be desired by those entertain
ed. If other meals are furnished, well
and good, but those arrangements
can be made with the parties to be
entertained But if you cannot fur
nish any meals and some available
rooms, open these to the visitors.
A committee of oskaloosa business
men will call upon the citizens for the
purpose of securing the names and the
numbers of all those willing to fur
nish entertainment. A systematic
house to house canvass will be mace
and they should be received with
open arms" as it were. Now is the
time to consider how many you can
entertain 1t is proposed to sleep two
in bed of ordinary size. Have your
calculations made to take as many as
possible when the committee calls up
on you at your home, This will help
the committee along.
Some have expressed doubt as to
the ability of the town to entertain so
great d crowd as that OF the Grand
Army encampment, but the business
men and the men who have the man
agement of the affair in hand are con-
tiient that the homes of Oskaloosa viii
be opened freely and generously, and
that the places desired can be easily
secured. The business men on the
committees appointed to care for the
detail work that is necessary in con-
nection with the encampment are Civ
ing freely of their time and labor to
make a success of the encampmenU.
Often they are leaving their own bust
ness behind when they would profit
by being at Office or store. But some
one has to do the work of preparation
and the business men of Oskaloosa
have rallied to the support of the lo-
cal pest of the G. A. r. in a most
praiseworthy way. Not only are they
giving of their time and personal eff
fort freely and without stint, but they
go down into their pockets and are
donating the cash that is necessary to
make the encampment a success.
This is a matter in which the whole
city must act as a unit We must all
stand together for the success of the
encampment, and the citizens and the
home owners will unite with the bust
ness men and the Management in plac-
ing the desired entertainment at the
disposition of the proper parties.

Evil Effects OF Eqotlsm.

One OF the greatest evils OF the
American character Is its Intense ego
tism. We take II for granted that
we are better people than everybody
else, always do the right thing and
can not learn anything fom any one.
A natural result OF this national trait
Is that we make some very serious
mistakes. not merely In our dealings
with other people, but In our efforts
TO develop our foreign trade. In our
efforts to dominate the trade OF South
America we have endeayored TO mako
our customers take such goods as We
considered they should take and we
have neglected to offer them Just such
goods as they desired, with the result
that we have had the modification
TO see the bulk OF the South Ameri-
