Year, and Some Say Better.

The holiday business of Oskaloosa
is generally credited as being ahead
Of that of last season, and local mer-
chants will have little of the stock tic

number of the merchants of the city
had large stocks of Christmas special.
ties but these melted before the on
slaughts of the trade and the town is
pretty thoroughly sold out. Some
merchants state that the sales were
about the same as last year, and now
and then one is found VINO says not
so good, but the general opinion is
that the increase in the business will
average fifteen to twenty per cent.
One merchant believes that this esti-
mate is far too conservative. He
states that his business more thar
doubles itself as compared with the
same period Of last season.

Christmas Services Are Largely AT

rhe Christian church had a great
day Sunday. The audience room was
filled at all three of the services. The
Philadora club mad prepared a very
neat four-page leafiet containing full
program for the day, with all of the
church announcements. These were
handed at each service by the ushers
to every person as they entered the
room. MIR. c. NJ. Porter, our valued
Sunday school superintendent, had
presented to each pupil a beautifully
illustrated Christmas card with the
compliments of the season printed in

fifteen-page booklet containing Doc

recitations, duets, solos, and there

plea for the thoughtful side Of life,

THE PARDON OF SMITH
Abba Officer Given His Liberty by
Gov. Cummins.

The pardon which Governor Cum
minis gave to Thomas Smith, of Al
bia, as. Christmas gift, is of local
interest. as Smith is well known in
and around Oskaloosa.
Smith was city marshal in Abba
and got three years tor doing his du
ty. He arrested young man on a
charge of being drunk and disorderly.
The youths friends, who had often
threatened what they would do to the
peace officers of the town, rallied to
his rescue and in the trouble that
ensued an uncle Of the youth under
arrest was shot, and later died.
Smith was arrested for mur1er and
twice was convicted When he APP
pealed the first time the supreme
court affirmed the Judgment against
him, holding that peace o.Acer was
not warranted in shooting to effect
an arrest Of mere misdemeanant. 1t
soon became apparent that This doc
trine would effectively add to the
contempt which gangs feel for officers
of the peace, everywhere, and this
kind of people Immediately became
very oyerbearing and obnoxious. The
attention of the court was called to
the fact that the shooting was not for
resisting an officer, but in preventing
an outrage such as rescuing an ar
rested person from an officer. A re
hearing was granted and Officer Smith
was given a re-trial. On the second
trial he was again convicted and now
the governor has pardoned him out
right, so that he will no longer have
any trouble.
The best information that the gov
eernor was able to get concerning the
case was to the effect that Smith is
not in any sense criminal, but on
the other hand sacrificed himself to
enforce the law from a high sense of
his duty. exercising the utmost per
sonal courage in doing it against the
threats of the disreputable element.
He believed himself in extreme dan
ger of assault in the case referred to
and his act was in pursuance of the
discharge of his duty as sworn of,
ficer and not as an enemy of society.
It was a shot in self-defense, in 9TH
er words.
Manifestly parole was not posi-
BILE in this case and the governor did
a rather unique thing for the execu-
tive office, issued full pardon
