MORE FOR HOSPITAL.
w. A. MCNEIL Again Increases His
Donation.

: When w. A. McNeill's additional
gift of a tile roof to the hospital was
accepted by the board they we're in
formed by the contractor, Henry
Wetherell, that in place Of galvanized
iron cutters and trougns, heavy cop
per should be used.
The additional cost meant the ex-
penditure of $265, making the tile
roof in all about $1,100. The board
did not have the funds to make the
change, but Col. j. F. Mcneil, acting
for mis- brother, w. A., has announced
that the board might proceed with
the better material, and the bill
would be paid by Little Mac" This
will make Mr.. McNeill's total dona
ton to the hospital building $1,000.
About $500 of the necessary add.
tional $4,000 to complete the building
is still to be raised, but as work could
not longer be delayed, Mr.. Wethereil
was given the contract and ordered
to proceed. The board feels justified
in doing this, as they. are confident
the friends of the building will stand
by them and the remainder of the
money raised before the work is com.
pleted.

I. H CONGER DEAD
IN CALIFORNIA
WAS FORMERLY A PROMINENT
CITIZEN OF IOWA.
CONGRESSMAN OF 9TH DISTRICT
Won Distinction For Rare Diplomatic
skill Shown During Boxer Trou-
BILE While He Was Min
lister to China.

Pasadena, Cal, May 20.-E. H. Con.
ger, American minister to China at
the time Of the Boxer uprising, and
later minister to Mexico, died at ais
home here Saturday evening.
No hope for his recovery mad been
held out by the attending physicians
for the last twenty-four hours Daily
for a week past Conger has grown
weaker, and 1t was known Saturday
morning that he had but few hours
to live. The family was at the bedside
when the end came. Chronic dyson.
terry was the cause of death.
Conger's home until the last few
years was at Des Moines, Iowa. He
represented the seventh district of
Iowa in congress with distinction for
many years. During that time he was
a man Of influence in the national cap
ital.
In 1897 Mr. Co1ger was appointed
by President Mckinley to the Amer
ican embassy at Pekin. Mr.. and Mrs.
Oonger were at the Chinese capital
during the entire Boxer uprising and
Minister Conger was ole OF the strong,
est representatives of the allied ma
tions during the delicate international
complications which followed. For
the tact and skill shown in that trying
time he was accorded the highest
praise by the representatives of every
nation.
From Pekin Mr.. Conger was trans
ferred to the American embassy at
the City of Mexico, remaining there
but short time. After returning to
the United States the Congers remov.
ed from Des Moines to Pasadena
where they have since made their
home. While Mr.. Conger has not been
engaged in active business life he has
held the post Of president of one of
the most important Pacific coast in
surance concerns.

TO COME HERE AGAIN
Oskaloosa Can Have Chicken Show
If She Wants It.

The location for the 1907-0S Show of
the Iowa State Poultry association
has not yet been decided upon. The
show was held in this citv last Janu-
airy, the Oskaloosa show being the
largest in the history Of the assocla-
ton.
The lateness IN deciding the 1907-0S
show is due to the small number oil
bids received. Only two towns at
the executive meeting held here dur
ing the show asked for 1t, they being
Bonaparte and Montezuma. Presi-
dent John r. Hoover of the associa
ton received a letter a few days age
from Secretary A. B. Adams of AL

Pioneer Experiences Recounted at
Anniversary Dinner.

Sunday, May 10, was the eighty,
first birthday of Aunt Semira A. Phil
lips, and in commemoration and ceie-
bration of the event Mrs. Jenkin Da-

The company was made up Of ladies'.
who, like Mrs. Phillips, were Of the
pioneer families OF the county and OF
the city. An appetizing meal was
served ana enjoyed by the guests OF
the occasion. Twelve ladies partict
pated in the occasion and it was re
gretted that a number Of others in
vited could not be present. The at
ternoon was spent in conversation,
tales of the old days were recou7ted
and the gathering was a Yeritable love
feast that was made the most Of by
all those present.
Away back in the year 1S43 it was
when Mrs. Phillips came to Mahaska
county and then little settlement of
Oskaloosa. The first white woman
she met and knew was Amanda Mac
tin, who was present at the dinner
Great changes have come to pass
since those early days, people nave
come and gone, and the experience of
each member of the company was
rich in the knowledge of the history
and past events of the town. 1t was
the recalling of the old days and the
old unwritten history and the rela-
ton of incidents in the memory Of
each of the guests that made the at
ternoon pass all too quickly.
Those seated at the dinner were

Social Side of the Biennial

Mary Louise Bradley, writing in
the Cedar Rapids Gazette of Thurs
day says:
"Oskaloosa is in festal array in hon
or of the visiting club women. Flags
are flying and the business streets
are decorated. The 0skaloosa Club
women are the most generous Of hos
tesses and nothing Is left undone
for the welfare of their guests. The
social element is not omitted from
the biennial. The Oskaloosa Woman's
Club will give reception this eve
ming to the entire convention. Yes
terday there were two receptions,
one by the G. A. R. circle and an
other by the Eastern Star, for visit
ing members and the board Of d.
rectors of the /. F. w. c. This af-
afternoon Mrs. Ellington, president
of the Womens' Press Club, Des
Moines, gave a lunsheon to the men,
bers of the press and later Editor
Hoffman of the Evening Herald took
the press women for drive about
the city. At It's this evening there
was a recital on the chimes Of the st.
James church, played by Taylor Kali
bach in six beautiful numbers.

IN JUVENILE COURT.
Judge Clements Takes Action In
Several Cases of Minors.

Numerous juvenile matters came up
before Judge Clements for settlement
Saturday and the docket was nearly
cleaned off for the present. Le1iency
was exercised, as most of the offend
ers were answering for their first Of
tense, and the court required written
reports to be handed in regularly IN
regard to the conduct OF several of the
young convicts.
Bessie Shuey was released on col-
ditions after short hearing on the
charges of incorrigible and immoral
conduct and vagrancy. Justice Bacon
was given the supervision over her
and ordered by the court to secure
suitable employment for her.
The Hay and Shaw boys were agail
brought up for the stealing or a base
bali glove and their case continued on
their promise of obedience to their
parents. Neither boy would confess
the crime.
Helbert Herbig was committed to
the Industrial School at Eldora.
The case against Thos Raines was
the result of another of the Junk
gathering" stories. Some time last
week the boy was passing through tns
alley in the rear of the Geo. Reis home
with his junk sack over his shoulder,
and noticing an old brass Kettle on
the back porch of the house, added it
to his collection of old iron and rags
and later sold it to the secondhand
store. An order committing the boy
to the reform school at Eldora was
made but it is understood that the or
der will not be executed during mis-
good behavior.

OF OSKALOOSA.

plished and the influence or club wo-
men of Iowa through their united eff
forts have attained speaks volumes
for the need and power of federated
club work.
1t is not an efferveseent, transient
movement but a permanent and pro-
gressive work that has for its pur-
pose the advancement of the higher
and nobler development of clviliza-
tion. Such motives require the best
efforts of their promoters and the
work of the Iowa Federation of Wo-
mans Clubs merits the commenda-
tion of the public and their hearty
co operation and support.

Mrs w. F. Bicknell, who reported
for the Des Moines Capital, in her
correspondence, says:
"As the Oskaloosa Women's Club
is the only one in the state having
an arts and craft department, it is
not surprising to learn the public
schools of this city have manual
training and are to have domestic
science next year. Prof. t. w. Else
superintendent of the 0skaloosa
schools, is strong advocate of the
training of the hand during all the
school years of child's life and
proved by actual figures that in this
city the cost averages fifty cents per
year for each of the six hundred
children who take it. In the thirty
nine Iowa schools having this practi-
cal work the cost varies from ten
cents to four dollars per pupil A
surprisingly fine exhibit of the work
of the school children is in the IL
brary, though they have had the ad-
vantages of manual training only a
year. There are boxes Of all sizes
and shapes, sleds, tables, checker
boards, book shelves, screens, maya
zine racks, Morris chairs, all made
by the boys and girls Of the seventh
and eighth grades and of the high
school. twenty-five girls take the
regular manual training work and
all the girls are taught sewing as is
evidenced by the large display of
work bags, aprons, collars, cuffs,
flags, quilts and skirts.
"All kinds of cardboard work done
by the children of the fourth and
third grades and reed and raffia
work of the fifth and sixth grades
testify to the careful training re-
ceived."
