THE KlMBALL HOTEL.
]. 81. Helm Of This City Has Sc,
cured the Davenport House.

The Hen Hotel Company, operating
the Hotel Downing of this city, has
secured a ten year lease of the Kim
ball Hotel at Davenport, which is now
being modernized and remodeled A
company has been formed at Daven-
port for the operation of the hotel, of
which Mr.. j. H. Hen of this city is
the head He will remove to Daven-
port in the near future to take charge
of the house.
The Downing Hotel in this city will
be under the personal management of
Mr.. Harry Hien.
The HENS are most successful hotel
people and under their management
the Downing Hotel has improved and
has been enlarged from time to time
until 1t stands as one of the best
known houses in the state, and is like
wise one of the most popular. Mr.
Hien win bring the same prosperity to
the Davenport hosiery that has mark
ed his administration locally.
Oskaloosa regrets the departure of
these most excellent people, but hopes
for their entire success in the new
field.

The teams were es follows:

Game called at the end of the Sth
inning on account Of dryness.
James DeBoard official scorer.
Chas. Mendenhall umpire.
The Oskaloosa Eagles feel as though
they had been snubbed by the Ottum-
wa boys. Only eleven people came
from Ottumwa, and seven of these
were of the ball team. Entertainment
was of the hospitable order, no charge
being made for anything. If Ottumwa
expects Oskaloosa people to patronize
their specials, with extra charges for
everything in sight, it would seem
that they would send a larger repre-.
sentation when entertainment costs
only personal presence.
LaRue's Oskaloosa band contributed
to the enjoyment of the day by it's
presence, and played an entertain
ing program afternoon and evening.
Most of the picnickers boarded the
special train and returned to the city
just in time to avoid the sprinkling
that was threatened by the gathering
storm clouds.

WIN. EROSION CHOSEN
Elected President Of County Holt
ness Association.

At four o'clock Friday afternoon the
annual business meeting of the Ma.
haska County Holiness Association
was held and the officers for the COM
ing year were elected as follows:
President, VIM. Crosson, of this city.
Vice President, j. M. Shroyer, Of
New Sharon.
Secretary Treasurer L. w. Garner,
of New Sharon.
Mr.. Crosson spoke at length of the
work which the association has ac.
complished during the nine years in
which he has served as its president,
and he spoke encouragingly of the
prospects for the coming year, but on
account of his declining years he ask.
ed to be relieved of the duties of the
office, as he did not believe that he
could do justice to the work in hand
His pleadings would not be listened
to, however, and he was overwhelm,
ingly reelected and the throng OF
workers present solemnly pledged him
their support.
A new Office was created in the as
ISOLATION at the business meeting by
the election of H. o. Tanning as field
worker. Mr.. Fanning's work will be
only in this county and he will hold
camp meetings and revival services
in all of the smaller and out of the
way places where. the gospel, and espe
cially the Holiness doctrine, is rarely
heard. He expects to enlist in his
band of workers many of the students
of c. H. U. The work of the foreign
and home mission departments of the
association was also given encourage
ment and it is now becoming one OF
the prominent features of the Holt
ness work.
The camp meeting will last two
more days, closing Monday evening
An immense crowd and good results
are expected tomorrow.

PASTOR and ORGANISE
Church and City Say Goodbye To
fl Two Good People.

The farewell reception to Rev. A
Cato Kaye and Mrs. Belle Ray, which
was held by the ladies' of the Congre.
gational church at the home of County
Supervisor ]. M. Price Friday evening,
was very informal but largely attend
ed. 1t was the last public social event
in which the two people will figure
during their residence in this city, as
one week from tomorrow will be Rev.
Hayes last Sunday here, and he and
his family will leave that week for
their new home in Mason City, where
he will take up the rectorship of the
Episcopal church, while Mrs. Ray will
depart the fore part of next week for
her old home in Cedar Rapids where
she will locate permanently.
In the separation of these people
from the city, the Congregational
church will be deprived of faithful
workers whose places can scarcely
be filed. Mrs. Ray has served as
the church organist regularly for about
fifteen years. and Rev. Kaye has been
their pastor for over half that length
of time.
Mr.. l.. e. Smith furnished phono-
graph music as pleasing diversion
during the evening, and elegant re-
freshments were served.

WAS A CLOSE CALL.
Street Car and Milk Wagon Collide,
But Little Damage Results.

E. E. McMurray, proprietor of the
Rosebud Dairy" came near meeting
with serious accident Sunday morn.
ing while on High avenue east. He
was driving his milk wagon and start.
ed to cross the track just as a moving
car was alongside his vehicle. He
seemed not to hear the car or its
alarm. The car showed his wagon
aside and the only damage resulting
was a couple of broken spokes. The
moving car was all but alongside the
vehicle before the man started to
turn across the track. Had he started
across a few seconds sooner a bad ac-
cident might have resulted. The
driver was badly frightened, as well
he might be, as was also the motor
man of the car, who had no intimation
that the vehicle would attempt cross
ing until he was almost alongside the
wagon.

EAGLES ENJOY LIFE.
Second Annual Outing Attracts Big
Crowd To Park.

The second annual outing OF the Os-
kaloosa Aerie of Eagles proved big
and enjoyable success. The picnic
was held at Whitmore park during the
forenoon and at Riverside ball park
during the afternoon. Between seven
and eight hundred Eagles and their
invited friends participated in the
festivities and the general merriment.
The day was somewhat chilly and this
fact interfered to some extent with
the attendance. But even then the
crowd was in excess OF what the
committee on arrangements had
planned for and the supply of sand
witches ran short while the demand
was still of the bearish order.
Two special trains were run to the
grounds by the Iowa Central, at ten
O'Clock in the forenoon and at two
thirty o'clock in the afternoon. In
addition to the people who went out
on the trains, many drove to the park
during the day.
The ball game was an interesting
contest between teams furnished by
the local lodge and the Ottumwa
Eagles. 1t was an interesting and
well played contest with the result al
ways in doubt till the end.
On account of the small number OF
Eagles in attendance from Ottumwa,
oskaloosa generously contributed two
players. Ottumwa won the game in
the last inning with four runs, the
score being seven to eight. Oskaloosa
declares they would have won the
game but for "1ee Hee's" errors and
Fuller's glass arm.
The teams were es follows:

is CHARGED WITH
WIFE DISCRETION
JOHN HARDsocK ARRESTED uN-
DER NEW STATE LAW.
FIRST CASE OF THE KIND HERE
Other Men May Be Made to Feel the
Effects of the New Statute
Held to the Grand
Jury.

The distinction of being the officer
to make the first arrest in Mahaska
county and one of the first in the
state under the new desertion law en-
acted by the last General Assembly Of
Iowa, has fallen upon Constable Geo.
Andrews, and John w. Hardsock has
the distinction of being the accused
man in the case. The new law is not
generally understood, and has only
been enforced in one or two instances
in the state, but from present indica-
tions it will serve as the instrument
of justice for improving the destitute
| condition of many wives and children
in the state. Its scope is broad, and
unless there is an unforeseen flaw ii
may be used to compel man to sup,
port his wife and children, as, in order
to be guilty of desertion he need only
neglect to furnish support, although
he may never have really deserted
them. Section 1 of the law reads as
| follows: ..
EVERY person who shall, without
good cause, willfully neglect or refuse
to maintain or provide for his wife
she being in destitute condition, or
who shall, without good cause, aban,
don his or her legitimate or legally
adopted child or children under the
age of sixteen years, leaving such
child or children in a destitute condi
ton, or shall, without good cause, will.
fully neglect or refuse to provide for
such child or children, they being in a
destitute condition, they shall be
deemed guilty of desertion and, upon
conviction, shall be punished by i'm.
prisonment in the penitentiary for
not more than one year, or by impris
onment in the county jail for not more
than six months"
Mr.. Hardsock, it is alleged, deserted
his wife here about two years ago
shortly after their marriage, and he
has since been living in Lynnville. He
was taken in custody about twelve
miles northwest of there. When ar.
Iraigned before Squire Bacon yesterday
afternoon he was defended by C. Yer
Ploeg, while the wife and child were
represented by d. C. Waggoner. He
| waived examination to the grand jury
| and was released on his own bond of
$500 with the understanding that he
| is to furnish the sum of $40 monthly
for his family's support until dispo-
sition is made of the case by the dis
trict judge.

EIGHT CARS RUINED.
Bad Wreck On Iowa Central But
No One Is Hurt.

A damaging yet fortunate wreck oc-
CURED on the East Division of the
Iowa Central Friday evening about
11:20 p. m, when extra freight No so
east bound with Engineer John
o'Hearn of this city at the throttle
and Conductor Waddell of this city
in charge, left the track about one and
three-quarters miles east of Winfield.
The train was running at a fair rate
of speed when broken fiange caused
one of the freight cars to leave the
tracks, seven others following it in
stantly. The engine men and train.
men escaped without scratch, but
the damage to the railroad cars was
heavy. The loss will amount to sew
eral thousands of dollars, the rolling
stock being almost totally destroyed.
The wreck badly delayed traffic.
Passenger No. 3, due in this city at
1855 p. m, did not reach here until
six O'Clock Saturday evening. Passen-
ger No, 16. which left this city at 100,
turned around and came back at No. 3.
