eight dollar land is as good as the
land quoted at twenty dollars, but the
difference in price is made by the dis
lance from a railroad. The fact that
some of the smaller concerns will cut
railroad fares is to induce people who
have been accustomed to the luxuries
of rail travel to go in what are termed
stock cars" The Western Farm
Land Company refunds the entire price
of railroad fare to all purchasers and
also refunds every item of expense
sustained en- route.
This same special private Pullman,
"Perico," will be available to Mahaska
county people every two weeks during
the remainder Of the season. and those
contemplating journey to the south
west will do well to communicate with
Mr.. Sandusky. A letter addressed to
w. p. Sandusky, General Delivery, Os-
kaloosa, or word left at the Lacey Ho-
tel will meet with prompt attention.
A party going with this company
has all manner of advantages over the
other land seekers. They are as
sured of a berth and of freedom from
all annoyances incident to such a rush
of buyers as now exists. Hotel ac-
commodations are often impossible,
while the sleepers provide everything
in the way of travelling accommoda-

Mahaska Land Seekers Go to Texas

(From Tuesday's Daily.)

For the first time in the history of

ers bound for a new field were fur.
nished with private Pullman car sent
to this city for their use, and large
party took advantage of the accommo-
dations offered and departed over the
Rock Island this morning for the
Texas Panhandle where there is an
unusual rush of land buyers this fall.
No less than fifteen excursionists took
the car at this place.
The car, the Pullman "Perico," was
sent here by the Western Farm Land
Company of Chicago, to Mr.. w. P.
Sandusky, special agent of the com
pany, who has been in the city giving
information concerning the company's
property and making the party ready.
The excursionlsts are given berths,
meals. and all the comforts of home,
and the car takes them straight to
their destination without annoyance,
inconvenience, crowding, or change of
cars at any point. The exodus to the
Panhandle country this fall is so
great that trains are being sent
through in three and more sections.
and then passengers are compelled to
stand for the greater part of the jour
ney. 1t is impossible TO get a sleep
er in the usual way and the special
car was duly appreciated.
The Western Farm Land Company
has retailed over twenty thousand acres
In less than one months time The
range in price is from eight to TWEEN
ty dollars per acre The company
does not claim to have the best land
IN the Panhandle, as any one with
common sense can readily see by a
trip TO the large district so named;
but It does possess land as good as
that OF any other company. II is good
land and all alike and as good as
there Is in the United States. The

The charge was successful and clos

thereby.

scarcely believe his eyes and told
Moore he had sent men to bury him,

LOST GIRL is FOUND.
Maud Segar Located by Grandfather at
Salvation Army Home.

Des Moines, Oct. 15.-Maud Segar,
the little 13-year-old girl who recently
disappeared from the home of her aunt
in Eddyville, was found by her grand
father yesterday in the Salvation Army
Rescue Home near Union Park.
The little girl says she left because
her aunt expected her to work in her
kitchen as drudge for the pitiful sum
of SIPS per week.
She went back with her grandfather
much against her will, but finally threw
her arms about his neck and sobbed:
