The Holiness
University.

Bussey Press: We recently met two
old time friends, VIM. Crossen and
Pierce Ratcliff, of Oskaloosa, who told
us all about the great university
which their people had founded in
Oskaloosa. We had often heard them
in public assemblies pray for the up
building and education of the young,
the forming of exalted character
among our young people, but so often
prayers are only sounding brass and
a tinkling cymbal and so we were not
"a little surprised to find them so con-
fident and able to report SO much OF
progress toward this great 4nd. They
talked and acted just like they had
the moral and financial backing of a
rich and powerful organization and so
they have. They may not be rich as
Rockefeller in the endowing OF
university but such men as Crosson
and Ratcliff will give it send off that
men less in earnest cannot do.
They have bought pit acres Of fine
land adjoining Oskaloosa on the south
east and have $4,000 paid on 1t. They
have expected to build their great
structures from the sale Of lots and
have already begun the main build
ing which will be 70x120 feet, three
stories. They will also build Ladies'
Dormitory. This will be done this
summer and toward this end they
have raised already $4,000 from the
sale of lots. On this same grounds
they will build pavilion that will
hold 5000 people and in this they will
hold their 1906 camp meeting, COM
mencing June % and lasting about
ten days. During this time the work
of the university will get a great
boost for there will be earnest, de-
voted men in this assemblage that
would rather give of their earthly
substance toward the successful
launching and floating of an institu-
ton like this than to have gold nails
in their coffin and huge granite
marble shaft to mark the spot where
lies "John Smith" They know that
to live in the hearts of the young, es-
pecially the boys and girls Of a great
college, is greater glory than any 9TH
er. Here's to the success of the new
venture and Oskaloosa will never let
it suffer loss nor see destruction If
they can help it.
Prof. Hills of the University of Tex
as has been chosen president of the
young institution. He is congrega-
tionalist but that matters not for the
Holiness movement is inter-denomi-
national and all are welcome to take
of the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Here's to the Holiness University.

Fielding took the cash, and left it
with David Thomas, a restauranter.
That same evening Thomasen caused
his arrest for robbery.
Fielding admitted taxing the money
when arrested, told the officers why
he mad done so, and where the money
was.
All these circumstances corroborat'

unsubstantiated and the star witness
himself admitted that although ne
could still walk within the raiis Of a
railroad track, he was pretty drunk

The Frankels Purchase Valuable Des
Moines Real Estate.

The Frankel interests have purchas.
ed what is known in Des Moines SIS
tie McQuaid block, located at the cor

paying therefor $4,000. 1t is the in
tention of the FranHels to later i'm
prove the property ty razing he ola
buildings and erecting an eigGt or ten
story building to be occupied as an
immense department store. AS the
lease of the Handsomely Co.--the
now big department store of the
Frankels--has some nine years yet to
run, it is not likely that operations to-
ward the new building win be begun
for several years. The purchase, how
ever, is splendid investment, as the
GROSS income from the property aver
ages $4,000 per year, while the ex-
pense is between $4,000 and $1,000
per year.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by the constitutional reme-
dies. Deafness is caused by an inflam-
ed condition Of the mucous lining of
the Eustaohian tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have rumblins sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be TAX
en- out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu
cous surfaces.
We will give One hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

HOPE HALL MAN FALLS.
Ex-convict Who Was Befriended Is
CHARGED With Forgery.

Fort Dodge, June S.-Sheriff Oleson
landed another forger yesterday In
Edward Klein, whom he found at Wau-
kesha, Wis, where he is now in jail.
Klein was recently an inmate of Hope
Hall, which is located on Hon. l.. S.
Coffin's farm. During the past
week two checks amounting to $24
turned up at local banks bearing the
signature of ~. /. Ruttlege,' who is a
on-in-law of Coffin and who resides
on the farm Ruttlege denies the au-
thorship of the checks and the officers
went to work on the case, locating
Klein yesterday.
This is one of the first of Father Cot
fms proteges to go wrong. Hope
Hall was founded a few years ago by
Mr.. Coffin as means of helping ex-
convicts to get on their feet. He said
that the average convict found it al
most impossible to secure work when
released from prison, and in COM :
ouence was forced to commit crime to
live. He thought that if a place was
provided where they could find work.
