I w. D. Dunsmore and H. Bell Of Dell
!, ia, came out on Wednesday from Os-
kaloosa in their automobile. The trip
was made from Oskaloosa to Bolton,
!. five miles, in fourteen minutes.
Il Mr.. Perry, one OF cur farmers, vas
I, in town Wednesday with his mower
and cut down the weeds and grass
on all tie streets and alleys in town,
adds greatly to the appearance of the
place.
Y The Ramsays put in cutting ma.
chimes at their Evans mines this week.
William Gordon, one of our intelligent
young men, looked at them WORK and
Uniforms us they worked successfully
from the start.
The Bolton Maroons and the Little
Giants of Oskaloosa crossed bats in
the park on Sunday. The tally sheet
showed 9 to in favor Of oskaloosa.
Batteries: Bolton-hull and McNish;
Oskaloosa-Pearson and Shoemake,
The miners showed their loyalty to
their fellowman Tuesday by taking
up a substantial collection for Adam
lKessinger, the miner who had his
leg broken some time ago. Mr.. Kes-
singer has a wife and three small
children to support. The welcome
aid came in time of need and is
greatly appreciated by them. Miners
never turn deaf ear to aiding their
fellow man when in need, greatly to
their credit.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Branniger left
this week for two weeks visit in
Florence, Colorado, at the parental j.
w. Canty home. Mr.. Branniger is
our courteous and efficient book-keep-
err. His close attention to his duties
in the office merit a two weeks vaca,
ton which will be greatly appreciat-
ed in the mountain air of Colorado.
While he is gone MIR. Bolton, general
manager of the mines, will fill his
place. Should he get unruly or neg
lect his duty, the Herald correspondent
will keep tab of it and let the army
of Herald readers know all about it.
The purchase of the Baldauf build
ing by the Williams brothers, of Bea-
con, clearly shows what Iowa pluck,
honesty and vim will do. The writer
remembers we'll when James Williams
was a hired clerk in the company
store at Coons in "a, while his brother
William was in charge Of small store
at Beacon. Both are model young
men. Their wealth came to them as
a reward of merit, dealing honestly
with their customers, as their word
was as good as their bond. 1t affords
us much pleasure to note their rise in
the world of progress. Both are good
republicans and workers for their
party.
The political buzz saw is on the
whirl at present. Occasionally the
writer notes some labor organization
wants a change from our prosperous
conditions. 1t is we'll for the laboring
man to look back to the days of
lGoxey's army, as we don't want rep
clifton Of the case Of the the Han from
Missouri who followed the army on
its rounds to Washington. On his re-
turn home he hid in the brush near
i the barn until he saw his little brotn-
err come out. He called to him and
said: Tell mother to send me out
blanket before l can enter the house,
for nave nothing put hat left. So
the working man should let well
enough alone or he will only have a
hat left.
I. w. Smith, practical MINER from
Des Moines, was in town Tuesday
In a personal conversation with the
Herald correspondent he highly COM
plimented Mr. Wilson on his efficient
management in the opening Of No. 2
mine, as he found everything up TO
date. A gasoline engine to run the
fan and furnish the men at the bot
tom of the mine pure air, an electric
batterey to fire their shots in the
mine. The miners prepare their shots
