HURT IN A RUNAWAY
Mr.. and Mrs. McFadden Thrown
Out On Hard Gronnd.

Mr., and Mrs. McFadden, residing
about two and half miles southeast
of the city, were the victims of a
serious runaway on South Market
street. AS they were driving north
their horse took fright at the can
vass covered interurban car standing
on the track at the Rock Island cross
ing, and Mr.. McFadden lost control of
the animal. The runaway horse made
quick turn into Fourth avenue and
dashed the buggy into the cur. Both
occupants were thrown out. Mrs.
McFadden sustains a dislocated shout
der. Mr.. McFadden struck on his
head and shoulders and was partially
unconscious for some time following
the accident. Inc injured couple,
were taken into the home of Mrs. s..
j. Finley, across the street south,
from the scene of the accident. Med
ical attention was given and they
were able to be taken to their homes,
toward evening. The hurts, though
severe, are not dangerous.

our COLORED SOCIETY BACK TO old HOME
The city Repents And Re-Rents
Present Headquarters.

The city of Oskaloosa is no longer
waif, looking for home and shelter.
The matter has been settled,all differ
ences amicably adjusted and the
headquarters are to remain just
| where they have been for many years
lin the John M. Baugn and the J. B.
Doll properties on High avenue west.
The rooms are to be fixed up and
such repairs as are necessary and
desired are to be made.
| When the council reached this all
important problem in their discus
sions of Friday evening they had a
number of propositions to consider.
Mr.. Woodin had offered his east sioe
room for seven hundred dollars per
\ year, but it was not certain whether
the city was to have the inside rooms
or the corner rooms. This made the
matter uncertain to say the least.
A telegram from Landlord ]. M.
Baugh acknowledged his willingness
to again make terms with the city on
the basis proposed by Mayor Williams
that is, to repair the rooms and put
them in tenable condition, at the ex-
pense of the landlord. Mr.. Doll, in
whose building are located the Offices
of the surveyor, city solicitor and
street commissioner, had already
agreed to fix up his property.
Another proposition came before
the council that appeared attractive
for the time being. The quarter
block, 120 feet on A street and the
same on A avenue, upon which is To-
, Gated a two-story brick building,
standing just north of the Coke gro
Gerry store, was offered to the city.
The building could be made over into
suitable offices or converted into a
very respectable sort of city hall.
to be removed and the remaining
space to be devoted to the market
place that has now become neces-
sity with the city. If the city could
not buy the property Immediately,
lease tue same and pay for it as oc-
| CdSlOu Inaue possible. lulS HdLIer
received some attention at the hands
of the council. The location is near
to the heart of the business part of
town and the proposition looked good
for time. All but the price, and the
city did not feel able to make the ex.
: penditure. Also, larger place for
\ the market is desired,
: Then the council came pack to their
old home and the opinion prevailed
that they did not want to run away at
all,-never really mad intended to in
the first place; had just been blufing
J., all the time, and that they would
now be good and stay at home, right
where they were.
' On motion Mayor Williams was
+ empowered to have leases drawn for
! Inc Baugh and the Doll rooms in &C
D cordance with the propositions made
q and accepted.

TO INCREASE LICENCE
Itinerate Merchants Must Hereafter
Pay $4,000 Per Day.

The third council meeting of the
week was convened Friday evening
upon special call of Mayor J. G. Will
liams for the purpose of hearing the
report of the committee upon new
quarters, for taking up the problem
of the fire department, and to con-
slider a new ordinance that will give
Oskaloosa merchants more of a pro-
lection against itinerant merchants.
The session was lengthy and adjourn.
ment was not reached until after
eleven o'clock. The council meets
again Monday night In regular SEES
sion.
The first matter of the evening was
the appearance of committee OF
business men representing the lead
ing houses in the mercantile line.
Mr.. Rosenblatt, of the Baldauf-Ros
enblatt Company, asked the council
for more effective high tariff IL
cense as protection against the trav'
cling vendor or salesman who comes
to the city, is here today and there
tomorrow, neither does he pay taxes
nor contribute into the hospital fund
nor do any one any good. He takes
trade and money that legitimately
belongs to the resident merchant, de
moralizes trade generally and is as
the business men view it, a mighty
bad thing for the people at any time
The present license charged these
transient merchants is five dollars
per day, and this the committee
thought was not prohibitive or pro
tective, as it was the only tax thai
these merchants are required to pay
on goods and on large stocks which
they carry.
The grief was brought to head Dy
the recent appearance of couple OF
travelling merchants. One of the
stores advertised a fifty thousand dol
lar stock of clothing and opened fol-
business here. Cheap prices were
published abroad and the merchant
has undoubtedly taken trade that
would have gone elsewhere had he
not come to the city. A few days age
George Auer, formerly of this city
now representing fur house of Min
neapolis, came to town and opened
for business with a large stock OF
mems and ladies' furs. His prices
have been attractive and he has
knocked the other fur trade of the
city into cooked hat, as it were.
Naturally, 0skaloosa merchants
have no liking tor this sort of thing
and their indignation takes shape in
the form of protest and petition to
the city council to take action looking
toward the protection of the mer.
chants and the people.
1t was recommended that the II
cense hereafter charged travelling
merchant for the privilege of selling
his wares in the city be placed at
twenty-five dollars per day. The city
solicitor, upon motion of the council,
was instructed by unanimous vote Of
the members present to draft an or
dinance covering the point, to be pre-.
sented at the next regular meeting
for consideration and passage.
