hCrand White House Wedding in Mid
February-CuIminat of Romance
Believed to Have Occurred on Ocean
Voyage.
There is to be another wedding in the
White House. and society at the CAPT.
tai is already looking forward to what
undoubtedly will be the most brilliant
event in the history OF the mansion.
1t is just about two years since Rep
= resentative Nicholas Longworth, of
cincinnati. began to lay siege to the
leart OF the charming daughter of the
President, and his attack has been I'M
temitting. Now he has captured the
yheart of Miss Alice. and will lead her
to the altar in mid-February.
Several times during the last year
Mr.. Longworth's engagement to Miss
Roosevelt was rumored, but it was
never confirmed, and the social world
began to conclude that a warm friend
ship was about all that existed between
them.
Chance of a Lifetime.
1t was when Miss Roosevelt deter
mined to accompany Secretary Taft's
party to the Orient that Mr.. Longworth
apparently saw his browning opportu-
nifty, and he forthwith became one of
the party. Throughout the jaunt his
attentions to the daughter of the Pres
fdent were more marked than ever be-
fore, for in his wooing he had the ad-
vantage of being the only courtier in
the field
Though his friends now say that
they had observed the CLINT of a glori-
Gus victory in his eyes when he re-
turned from the long voyage, he never
confided his triumph to a soul and the
first information of the engagement
did not reach society until Mrs. Roose-
welt told it to few personal friends in
the White House. Then, of course, So

Mitchell. of Oregon Yet there is no
body of men on earth which is a great
er stickler for ceremony governed by
precedent than is the United States
Senate But the Mitchell case pre-
sented a unique situation. The official
recognition Of the death of a Senator
is always a solemn and affecting pro
ceeding, but even the usual funeral
rites were omitted in this instance.
The Oregon Senator had been convict
ed of a grave crime against the gov
eminent. Excepting Senator Burton,
Of Kansas, no other members of the
Senate has ever had to face a criminal
court trial. The Senate has expelled
members and has often exercised its
constitutional prerogative OF unseating
a Senator, but with the two exceptions
above stated, IL has never been con-
fronted with such situation as was
forced upon the public attention by
Senators from Oregon and Kansas.
The VicePresident, who is the
President Of the Senate, did not APP
point the usual committee TO attend
the funeral held in Portland. Ore.
Senator Fulton, the sole representative
of Oregon left in Congress, had intend
ed presenting a brief resolution, re-
citing the death Of his colleague, and
asking that the Senate adjourn as a
mark Of respect. but even this was not
done. Not even was the desk which

Mr. Hermann is yet TO be tried. II
thus happens that there was no one
in the House from Oregon TO make for
NAL announcement 10 that body Of the
death Of Senator Mitchell, so that no
official attention was paid the incident.
There is so little that can be said
of the strange. tragic, pitiful case OF
Senator Mitchell that the men OF the
Senate who knew him best, who liked
i him best, who had served in that great
forum with him longest. and who are
most grieved at the sad ending Of his
career, have been disinclined to speak
Of him at all.

Her Debut in Washington.

her Debut In washington
Miss Roosevelt made her debut at
ball given in the great East Room
early in January. 1902, since which
date she has enjoyed a succession Of
attentions never before offered any
American girl.
At the Worlds Fair in St Louis,
when she was the guest Of Miss Catlin,
Miss Roosevelt was admired by thou
sands who saw her, and was voted a
true type of the American girl. Thou
sands followed her wherever she went,
but her demeanor did not indicate that
she was any more than a plain Amer

always be welcome.

THE CHILDREN'S HOME
Local Branch of Iowa Society Or
ganized for Another Year.

In this intensely practical age, when
commercialism seems to hold sway,
and money is the goa whom men
worship, the question is asked both
the individual and the organization
which enters the arena as contestants
for emolument, honor, or as it some
times happens, place in which to
show that benevolence, in the larger
sense, is more worthy of strenuous
effort, is, What can you do? or, Are
you fitted for the duties which will
be expected and the responsibilities
which will be imposed?
These are questions which will
have to be answered in the afdrma-
tive and backed by successful effort
ere a footing can be maintained or
confidence engendered.
The Iowa Children's Home society
has thus successfully entered upon
public action, maintained its footing
in the face of many difficulties, and
has shown in its eighteen years OF
organization it's purely philanthropic
purpose and right to public confidence
and trust.
More than three thousand children
in the time thus stated have been
taken from evil environments and
placed in good homes where they
have had careful training and have
been raised to lives of usefulness.
Our own local auxiliary has just
closed a successful year in which the
good accomplished is both recogniz.
ed and appreciated by a grateful pub
lie.
Regular business meetings were
held during the year and twenty
seven children handled through the
society during the same period. A
large donation Of both fruit and cloth
ing, valued at $1,000, was sent as a
Thanksgiving offering to the Receiv'
ing home at Des Moines, together
with the sum of 1928, gathered from
various sources and given toward de-
fraying the expenses of the state

INJURED IN RUNAWAY
THREE YOUNG LADIES ARE
THROWN OUT, TWO OF
WHOM ARE BADLY HURT.

A spotted COW under the electric
light, furious kicking, plunging
horse, a runaway, and three young la
dies, variously bruised and frighten-
ed and injured, scattered along the
country road at intervals for about a
quarter Of mile, is the story Of an
accident in which Miss Laura Mont
gomery received broken ankle, Miss
Jessie Montgomery broken rib and a
severe scalp wound, and Miss Halle
Pringle severe bruises.
The young ladies' were driving, Miss
Pringle taking her friends out for the
evening behind horse which, while
not afraid of street cars or automo
biles, and gentle within the limits OF
the town, becomes crazed and unman
ageable in country roads. At the cor
ner of Penn avenue and Market street
the horse suddenly came upon a spot
ted COW, under the electric light
The animal Immediately took up a
strenuous career, which began by
kicking out the dashboard Of the
buggy and ended by a bath in the
creek at the foot Of the old cemetery
hill, where the animal landed feet up
and rested securely until rescued by
the Billick boys.
At the foot of the first hill, in from
of the old Gibbs home, Miss Pringle
and Miss Jessie Montgomery who were
clasped in each others arms, and try
ing between them to hold the horse
were pulled out over what had beer
the dashboard. Miss Pringle was
caught between the wheels and drawn
clear around one wheel before she was
finally flung at the road side. Miss
Montgomery suffered scalp wount
/, and broken rib.
At the foot of the next hill the
horse struck the buggy driven by JOIN
Bradbury, who was unable to get ouI
of the way. Here Miss Laura Mont
gomery was thrown out Of the buggy
and received the fractured ankle.
The horse continued on, striking {
couple of telephone poles and finally
/, landing in the creek.
The Misses Montgomery were TAX
en- to the Abbott hospital, where they
were cared for, and both ladies pass
ed : good night, their condition be
ing III that could be hoped for. Mis-:
Pringle was taken home, and while
severely bruised, and battered by thu
experience, is not seriously hurt.

FAMOUS AT LAST.
oskaIoosa Has Finally Broken Into
the Realms Of Song.

1t has "came."
Fame.
Oskaloosa is now famous. 1t is In
song, and in an Indian CHARACTERISTIC
song, to be done by pretty maids IN
buckskin skirts and leggins at that.
The song reached Oskaloosa yester-
day. From the words it is little bet
ter and no worse than many other
songs of the sort, speaking of course
without the Oskaloosa bias. But from
the standpoint of one who loves his
town, "os-Ka-Loo-Sa-Loo" is great.
It's a pretty love song. Deep
woods, canoe, big Injun brave-and all
that. In many ways it suggests that
the writer must have visited oska-
loosa. His heroine is wise little
maid and one who knows thing or
two. In this his picture is correct,
but Os-Ka-Loo-Sa-Loo passes up the
handsome stranger with canoe and
plenty of wampum, and here the writ
err is not true to type. The chorus Of
the song runs:
"Os- Ka-Loo-Sa Loo,
If I could do so, Loo,
I'd cut my heart in two
And give one-half to you.
Os-Ka-Loo-Sa Loo.
Don't fret and stew so, Loo,
I'll stick to you like glue.
Can't lose me, Loo"

Trade is Brisk.

Perhaps it is because the City
Beautiful is constantly winning new

it is because people want to have
peace and have concluded to quit i'm
posing upon their neignDors. The

ually large in oskaloosa this spring,
and it is by no means over.

away twenty-one years ago this
month at the age OF eighteen. The
remaining four children, Mrs. Narzzie
Rodgers and Mrs. Ida Rennie Of Os.
kaloosa, Iowa, Charley Charnock OF
Sioux Falls, s. D., and Mrs. Julia Ly
on Of Cedar, we're all at her bedside
at the time Of death.
Previous to her marriage Mrs.
Charnock was member of the Qua
ker church, but shortly afterwards
she with her husband Joined the
Methodist Episcopal church, Of which
denomination she was faithful mem
Der for forty-fve years. During her
protracted illness she frequently
spoke with much regret of her inabil-
ity to attend church services.
For thirty-one years Mr.. and Mrs.
Charnock lived at White Oak. In
1901 they moved to Cedar, where
they were living at the time OF her
death. Six years ago an attack OF
paralysis left Mrs. Charnock some
what afflicted and a second attack
eighteen months ago left her an in
valid, unable to walk, and partially
blind. AS her physical powers weak
ened it seemed that her love for her
husband grew stronger, and she want
ed him constantly with her.
In Mrs. Charnock we have an ex-
ample of the noblest type Of woman
hood. She was a Christian, loving
wife, a devoted mother, and kind
and sympathetic friend. She pos
sessed a rare quality of humor which
brought sunshine into many lives and
helped her to be cheerful and pa
tient through her aff1iction. That she
was esteemed and loved by all is
proved by the many kind friends who
did much to brighten her last days
in this life.
The funeral occurred at the church
at White Oak Friday afternoon at
o'clock, Rev. L. r. Burdock, pastor Of
the Cedar NJ. z. church, having the
services in charge. Interment was
made in White Oak cemetery Ere

About twenty. five guests we're pri-

tied with pink ribbons.
The cupid idea was carried out in
the ice cream moulds, and the pink

Informal musical numbers added to

wishes were showered on the bride-to
be, mingled with regrets for her de-
parture and residence in faraway
California.
The engagement foretells an early
