WE'D AT CHAUTAUQUA.
An Incident Of the Big Assembly
Not Printed in the Program

The 1906 assembly Of the oskaloosa
Chautauqua may not pay any diyi.
dends on the stock, or it may not even
take care Of the debt left over from
last year, but just the same there are
two people who can never be CON
WINGED that 1t was not a success.
1nese people are not from Missouri,
either, and will not have to be shown,
but they are from Searsboro and are
thoroughly assured.
And it all came about like this:
Jesse E. Gross. prosperous young
farmer at Searsboro, and his sweet.
heart, Miss Ada Josephine Burdick,
concluded 1t was time. to get married
and they came to Oskaloosa Monday
TO have the nuptials celebrated.
After dinner at down town hotel
they secured a marriage license and
started out to find minister. 1t did
not take them long to find out that
there was not minister in town,
This is no joke; the preachers like all
others who possibly could were en-.
joying the program at the Chautauqua
assembly. So off to the Chautauqua
went the happy couple and their mar
riage license. They hunted UP Ar.
thur Hammond, Penn college stu.
dent who has been supplying the pull.
pit at Searsboro, but he was not en-
powered to perform such duties. He
however in turn secured Rev. r. r.
Purdy of the Friends church, and to.
gether the entire party repaired to
the j. e. Johnson tent on the grounds.
Here while the Y. M. .. A. class in
athletics was amusing the assembly
with their tumbling stunts, the mar.
riage ceremony was performed, and
cupid directed the transformation that
made two hearts beat as one.
After the congratulations of all who
we're let into the secret had been ex
tended, the happy couple returned &c
the assembly and enjoyed the remain
der of the program. There may have
been many more elaborate honeymoon
trips than this, but none more happy
than the hour spent in the Oskaloosa
Chautauqua assembly.

MRS. FRANKEL LOYAL.
Remembers Her Old Home Town
With Munifcient Gift.

This mornings mail brought hap
by surprise to the hospital soliciting
committee in the shape of cash do
nation of $3.50 to the building fund.
The unexpected but highly appreciat-
ed gift came from Mrs. Babette Frank
ell, Of Des Moines. but for many years
a resident of Oskaloosa. During her
long residence in Oskaloosa she was
identified with every charitable and
benevolent movement In the city, and
her example and words of cheer were
always an inspiration to all who came
in contact with her. That her heart
is still in the right place and that Sue
is still interested in the town that has
loved her so we'll is shown by the gift
that came today.
This subscription brings the total
up to $3.50 today, and leaves only
$3.50 more to be raised until the build
ing can be started. 1t is understood
that a movement is on foot to set
aside certain Sunday for hospital
free-will offering in the various
churches. 1t is believed that this
might bring in possibly 5000 or $500,
and would in no wise interfere VITA
the raising of the necessary funds of
the churches. The money thus SET
aside could not be used for better
purpose in furthering the work of
God.

THE LEIGHTON sCHOOL.
one Injunction Granted, the Other
Thrown Out of Court.

Judge Preston and Judge Clements
each held a session of the Mahaska
county district court in the city Mon
day afternoon.
Judge Preston heard the controver-
sy over the new school house pro.
posed by the city of leighton. lne
directors of the Independent district
of Leighton decided upon the building
of new school house and had the
location selected, which meant the re-
moval of a house in another part OF
the district. Henry Butler and L.
Voss objected and applied for an IN
junction. The court threw the petit
ton out Of court, ruling that the gen
tlemen should appeal to the school
authorities rather than bring the mat.
ter into court. 1t is understood that
the matter will be carried to higher
bodies for final determination. The
costs of the case will be assessed the
plaintiffs in the case.
Now, In the self-same case, comes
Mrs. Julia Mendenhall and objects
ITO the proposed school being located
nearer than forty rods from her home
in accordance with statue made and
provided for such cases. The Judge
granted the temporary injunction in
this case. 1t is understood, however
that the board of the independent dis.
tTict of Leighton he's arranged for q
suitable location somewhat removed
from the intended location and that
matters will likely have an amicable
termination.
Quite an array of legal talent ap,
peared in connection with this case
Bolton &c Waggoner, Burrell & Dew
lit appearing for the plaintiffs, and
w. r. Nelson and John o. Malcolm
for the school district.
Judge Clements held court in an
other room of the court house AND
took up the case of A. Fehd, who has
brought claim Of damage against the
| city of Oskaloosa on account of al
lleged nuisance across his land east Of
the city. Gleason G Preston sp
peared for the plaintiff, and G. C. Or
Wis for the city. A few witnesse:
were heard in the matter and ther
came continuance for another week
Therefore is City Attorney G. C. Or
Wis wroth. He was summoned home
from vacation rest in the shade o.
an Illinois lake to make trial of the
case, and the final determination q
the trouble is no nearer now than Il
was before he was summoned home
and another continuance has been
ordered.

ARE STILL CHAMPIONS
Farmers Hold the Pennant in the
Hospital League.

The farmers Of Mahaska county
still hold the pennant in the Hospital
Benefit league. They have played
two games and won two, standing
1000. Their latest victory was Mon
day evening when they met the Bal
dauf clerks on the city ball park dia-
mond. The meeting resulted in as
snappy and pretty a game as one
would care to look at. The score re.
suited 2 to for the Farmers, but that
does not tell the tale. The two runs
were the result of a fiuke. A base hit
with man on base got lost in the
grass and both crossed the rubber.
Baldauf's run was earned. Six in
nings were played. Wray and Garvin
occupied the points for Baldauf's and
put up a very superior article of ball
that the farmer lads could do little
with. Hull and Marshall were the
slab artists for the Farmers and were
almost equally effective at times
Wray pitched a better game than his
adversary, however, and the town
lads put up the better game all
through. Wray struck out eight mer
and delivered but two hits in the six
innings One man walked on him
Hull for the Farmers struck out seven
men, walked Two, hit one, and the
Baldauf lads made four neat singles
off his delivery.
Baldaufs made to attempts to tie
the score by stealing the plate and
they just did miss getting away with
the play. They were successful al
base stealing and played very su
perior article of ball at all points.
A nine from Union Mills is now ne
gotiating with the Baldauf club for q
game at the bail park some time next
week. Proceeds to the hospital.
The game last evening netted tri
fle over eight dollars for the hospital
The teams lined up as follows:

THIEVES BEGIN WORK.
Pick Pockets Are Operating in the
Chautauqua Crowds.

Mrs. Clark Terrell and niece, Miss
Ruby, returning from the Chautauqua
grounds, were the victims of pick
pockets late Saturday evening. The
ladies were in the rear seat of a car
riage. While driving on High avenue
east the young lady noticed a couple
of young men riding on the rear Of
the conveyance. One of them had
reached under the curtain at the back
and touched her on the shoulder. She
was startled and complained of the
presence of the intruders. They did
not leave the vehicle, however, until
the driver was admonished some min
utes later to use his whip on them.
With that the fellows jumped off and
ran away into the darkness. When
the ladies reached home Mrs Terrell
discovered that her shopping bag
which had been lying in her lap dur
ing the ride home, had been opened
and a couple of purses containing
money removed. Three dollars in
money had been taken. One dollar
was in the form of silver certificate
that had been preserved in the family
for the past ten years. The police
were informed of the occurrence but
they have small chance of locating the
parties as no clue to the identity OF
the thieves exists.
A. Updegraff lost, or had taken from
his pocket at the Chautauqua grounds
Saturday a pocket book containing
two Chautauqua tickets.

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items Of Interest Cleaned from Pull

Sunday was quiet day among the
churches Of the city but was an unus-
ual day as well. The heat Of the
morning was so great as to interfere
with the attendance to marked de.
gree and both Sunday schools and
congregations were smaller than is
usual.
Evening services in almost every
church in the city was dispensed with
and transferred to the Chautauqua
grounds, where the service was Of
form appropriate for the occasion and
appreciated by all of the great crowd
that was assembled The evening
resulted in one of the most pleasing
and satisfying gatherings Of the kind
in the experience of the many particI-
pants.

Christian Church.

The largest congregation of the
morning was at the Christian churcn
or Stone Chapel, which was given ov-
erlto the uses of the church again ar
ter several weeks of renovation, deco
ration and repair. The decorations
are pleasing and are both handsome
and artistic. The changes in the
lighting and in the arrangements OF
the pulpit and platform are all for the
better and meet with the approval OF
the membership in general.
The services of the morning were
of special nature and the church
was in reality dedicated anew, follow
ing the weeks of enforced idleness
while in the hands of the repairers
and decorators special musical pro-
gram had been prepared and Miss Zoe
Pearl Park, soloist, appeared to espe-
cial advantage. Several numbers OF
merit were rendered by the choir.
Miss Park has a beautiful rich con-
tralto voice, her enunciation is per-
feet and her Interpretation most
pleasing.
The pastor, Rev. s. H. Zendt, APP
peared in special sermon for the
occasion upon the text, "The Glory OF
This Latter House Shall be Greater
Than OF the Former" The speaker
exhorted his people to renewed and
increased effort along the lines Of the
church work and his words inspired
new thought, new determination and
new zeal with the greater number OF
those nriyileged to hear the sermon.
