CASE INVOLVES MILLIONS

"A case of great Importance to the
federal government and railway mail
a clerks b was 15 argued k and be-
peals yesterday. It is that of Ichabod
Parshall against the United States, in
which Parshall asks for 81, 100 as his
expenses covering term of years while
on the road as a mail clerk. In the
lower court the claim was turned down.
If the court Of appeals upholds the
claim, it means that the government
must pay millions of dollars to railroad
mail clerks thruout the country.

FOR HOLIDAY GIFTS.
Oskaloosa Offers Everything That
Large Cities Have.

The very best advice to the holiday
shopper is to do it now and to do it
at home. Buy of the merchants whom
you know and you are sure that you
will get what you want and you will
get it at reasonable figures. By buy
ing now you have the benefit of being
able to make a selection from a
stock that is as yet almost untouched
and you avoid the rush. He who
waits for the last days is apt to have
various complaints. He or she will
not be waited upon as promptly as on
other occasions, and the particular
article that had been agreed upon may
have been purchased by another
And instead of being able to do your
buying in the leisurely manner SC
dear to the heart Of the average
shopper, there is apt to be crowd
and the impatient ones are apt tc
crowd and shove bit and to inter
rupt the very leisurely buyer.
But you can not make up your mint
what to buy. Well, you are in
quandary, indeed. But, you will have
to make up your mind sooner or later
and the sooner you do it the more
satisfactory will your shopping expe
dition be. Why, there is scarcely |
business house in Oskaloosa that doe
not contain something that Nigh
make the recipient supremely happy

PETITION FOR PARDON
Charles Carpenter Will Ask the
Governor for Clemency.

Charles Carpenter, now serving a
ten years sentence in the penitentiary
at Fort Madison, under conviction of
the crime of committing rape upon
the person OF Irene Seibert, living east
of town, will through his attorney.
Liston McMillen, ask Governor Cum
Minis for pardon.
The request is based upon several
grounds, chief among which is the
statement that me prisoner has en-
braced the Christian religion and
would like an opportunity to lead a
better life outside the prison walls.
His petition is interesting because it
is out of the ordinary run of such
documents, and in part is as follows:
THE petitioner states that ne has
already been imprisoned in said pen
itentiary since the goth of September.
Iva, now amounting to 26 months.
That the expense to him growing
out of the trouble has been several
thousand dollars, and whereas he was
well-to-do, worth probably $4,000, he
is now comparatively poor man.
THAT he is the father of little
boy, IL years old, who needs his faith
ers care.
"That, whereas, prior to the COM
mencement of the said impri sonment,
he was an unbeliever in the Christian
religion, and profane and irritable,yet
Immediately after his Imprisonment
began he came under the influence Of
the gospel through the ministration of
Chaplain Jessup, and finding that the
Scripture was true which says that
"The way of the transgressor is
hard" he has been led to believe that
the entire gospel is true, and has
found peace with Goo through Divine
forgiveness and redeeming grace Of
the Son of God through His shed
blood and broken body; and your Pc
titioner believes that there has thus
come into his life an influence to
good citizenship and neighborly kind
ness as will enable him to walk wor-
thy of executive clemency, having ex-
perienced deep evangelical repent
ance of all his sins,
your petitioner therefore respect
fully petitions for a parole condition.
ed that he bring forth fruit meet Tor
faith in Christ and repentance toward
God"

TO OPEN A new Mine
George E. Fraker Has Option On
Land Near Abba.

OF an Oskaloosa gentleman the
Abba News says:
Another new mine just to the
north, of the city is among the posi-
bilities at an early date. G. e. Fra
ker, of Frakerville, and who is one
Of the leading coal men of the state,
has optioned the farms of v. L. Will
kin and George Harper. four miles
directly north of Abba and drills will
be put to work Immediately to test
the field. The options were closed
last Monday and Mr.. Fraker has them
in his inside pocket so that he is
permitted to go ahead with the work
just as soon as it meets his pleasure.
He has attempted to secure options
on other adjoining tracts of land, but
so far has been unsuccessful. The
options he now holds cover about 400
acres of land and that is sufficient
to warrant the expenditure of testing
and opening a mine. Where the land
lays will require the building of a
railroad stub from either the c.. B.
6 @. or the Wabash to tho west or
the extension of the Northwestern
from the north. If the latter road is
extended from Buxton in this Girec-
ton it will bring the Northwestern
within a few miles of the city, and
that will probably mean that the road
will be built on into the city next
summer to get the benefit Of the pas
senger traffic between Buxton and
Abba. The new coal field lies direct
ly on the proposed line of the inter
urban and if the Northwestern does
not extend and protect their inter
ests an interurban may do all the
hauling. If such were the condition
1t would be the means of giving the
coal company the benefit of three
railroads over which to ship theil
output. This much is certain. The
land has been optioned and there
must be some way to- get it to market
and no matter what way it will be d
benefit to Abba as well as to the
country through which it passes"

TO ORGANIZE NAVY
| IN TWO BIG FLEETS
ADMIRAL CONVERSE ANNOUNCES
CONCENTRATION PLAN.
READyFoRA AN EMERGENCY
iAsiatic and Pacific Spuadrons win
Be Mereed-Grade of Vice
: Admiral May Be Re
vived.

Washington, Dec 1.--Completec
plans for the organization Of the fight
ing vessels of the navy in two fleets
for service on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts of the United States in such
manner that the whole force may be
readily modified in cases of emery
ency, is announced by Rear Admira
Converse, chief of he bureau of nayl
cation of the navy department, In
his annual report. Admiral Converse
says that owing to the United States
responsibilities in the Philippines and
the far east generally an adequate
naval force is needed in the Pacific
ocean.
To Merge Fleets.
By January l it is expected the
Asiatic feet and the Pacific squadron
will be merged into one Pacific fleet
under the supreme command of a flag
onlcer of the highest rank, in the same
manner as the Atlantic feet is now or
ganized.
The assignment of the ships Of the
battle line to Atlantic waters and OF
cruisers and gunboats to Pacific WA
tiers is in accordance with present re
Quirements.
The grade of vice admiral will be
revived if the navy department adopts
the recommendation made by Admiral
Converse. He says at least two vice
admirals should be created for the
commanders of the Atlantic and Asiat'
ic fleets, who will soon have under
them rear admirals and a large mum.
Der Of ships.
Entertainments Cost Much.
Congress will be asked by the bu'
reau of navigation to make an appro.
priation for official entertainments on
board naval vessels when sent to for.
eign shores. 1t will be argued that
in cultivating friendly and diplomatic
relations in foreign countries naval
oficers are compelled to spend a
large part of their own pay for en-
tertainments. BY other countries
ample provision is made for such ex'
penses.
= Admiral Converse says 1t has been
a matter of consideration whether II
would not add to the efficiency of the
service if marines were withdrawn
from all battleships. The idea of the
bureau is that the bluejackets are
drawn from the same class as the
marines, and are able to perform eff
GENTLY the services now assigned to
the latter. 1t is said that the pres
ence of marines suggests to the en-
listed men of the navy that the for
mer are those for police duty and
their presence frequently is resented

THE ANNUAL TAX SALE
Many Pieces of Property Passed
Without ANY Bidders.

The annual tax sale of Mahaska
county properties for the collection
of penalties was held this morning in
the office of County Treasurer w. w.
Eby. The sale was somewhat re-
markable and unusual in several re-
spects. In the first place the mum.
Der of properties offered for sale was
mall,-very small-one Of the least
in the recent history of the county;
then many of the properties on sale
received no bids whatever and the
claims remain upon the books Of the
treasurer for future collection. This
causes the sale to remain open and
the list is still obtainable for those
who may desire to purchase proper
ty of this class. One Of the most
noteworthy features of the sale was
the fact that those who generally ire
quent the tax sale, looking for invest.
ments, were wholly absent and the
sale Of properties was to people
seeking to protect mortgages, almost
without exception. The entire list
had been canvassed by noon and no
further offerings being made, the ses'
sion was closed.
Treasurer Eby states that the pay
ment on the interurban tax is pro
crossing rapidly from week to week
He expects almost all Of the tax to
be paid by the close Of the year
Should any remain unpaid a sale will
be held on the first Of January lol
the purposes of collection.
