Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, Oct 5-The annual banquet
of the Grinnell Retail Merchants ana
Manufacturers Association was held
last night. Covers for 100 guests were
laid, and the affair was great sue
cess.
The important feature of the ban

asking the Rock Island to erect ga'es
at the downtown street crossings.
This movement has been taken follow
ing the accidental death Of Mrs. John
Gilbert last Wednesday.
Hon. G. l.. Dobson and Milo ward
the latter representing the Des MONIES

addressed the business men. ADDRESS
es were also made by Rev. H. N. Das-

GOES BACK TO THE JUMPERS.
Olga LundelI of Sac City, Again Lurec

Olga LundelI of Sac City, Again Lured
Away by Religious Freaks.
Sac City, Oct. 5.-Telling her folks
that she was going to look for her
brother, Olga Lundell instead left her
home Wednesday evening and boarded
a train for Waukesha, Wis, where she
will again join the Holy Jumpers.
The family did not discover the Sc
cret of her absence until they found a
note of her absence until they found a
night gown saying that she had gone
to Chicago. 1t is believed that her sud-
den return was planned by the "Holy
Jumpers" for one of their mission
aries went away with her.
Nearly a year ago Olga Lundell was
induced to go to Wisconsin as mis-
sionary for the "Holy Jumpers" A
few months ago the girls mother went
to the missionary home and tried to
get the girl but in vain. Later she en-
deavored to get her daughter with the
aid of the courts and Olga was re-
turned to Sac City by the sheriff.
Olga became of age the day before
she left. She has been dissatisfied and
wanted to return. Her father will not
make any effort to get her back home.

the troubles of the Great Western
In the Rock Island yards at Valley
junction there are over 400 cars stand
ing idle. Some of them are loaded
and cannot be moved for want of mo-
tive power, but for the most part the
cars need repairing, and there are NOT
at hand enough repairers to keep up
with the breaiidowns.
Other railroads report similar con
dtions. 1 seems clear that even tho
crops in general this year are not up
TO the standard, there will be no dim
mutton in the difficulties incident to
moving them.

PROMOTER KILLS HIMSELF.
Henry Boozer, Builder of lnterurbans
Destitute and Despondent.

Destitute and Despondent.
Ottumwa, Oct 5.-Henry BooZer Of
Waterloo, Ind, one of the most prom
inent interurban promoters of the
west, committed suicide some time
during the night in the Ballington no.
tel here. His dead body was found in
his room yesterday afternoon, when a
|schambermaid, unable to get any re-
Spouse from knocking at the door,
looked over the transom and found him
lying on the floor.
After an examination of the body,
Dr. Williams stated that the man had
been dead for several hours. Beside
the body was found two empty four
ounce bottles, each labeled hydrate Of
choral.
Boozer successfully promoted the
Fairfield, Memphis, Mo-, interurban.
which is now under construction. Ow-
ing to some difficulty with Donal G..
Fitzgerald of New York, who bonded
the Fairfield Memphis road, Boozer
severed his connection with the enter
prise.
A few months ago he went to Keo-
sauqua and Bonaparte and endeavored
to interest parties in an 1nterurban
from those points to Burlington, but
he was not successful in this venture.
Lately he came to Ottumwa and
here was endeavoring to interest capt.
talists in an interurban to Fairfield to
join the one there which is to extend
to Memphis, Mo. He was not very
successful in his endeavors here, and
discouraged at the prospect is said to
have taken to drinking.

Mt. Vernon.
Rev. j. w. Hubbard passed away at
his home in this city Sunday evening,
between and s o'clock. He had been
sick only about a week. His death
was caused by diseases incident to cid
age,
Rippey.
Another old settler gone from our
midst Mr.. l. S. Mills suddenly passed
away Thursday morning, leaving many
friends and relatives to mourn his
loss The old gentleman was great
favorite.
Boone.
j. N Patterson, Of Cedar Falls, has
accepted the position of manager Of
the shoe department of the Douglass
Dry Goods Company. and has arrived
in the city ana brought his family
here. de will make Boone his future
home.
Manson.
The Farmers Elevator and Grain
Company commenced business year
ago Tuesday; on that day it purchased
it, first load of grain. During that
time it has brought 100000 bushels
Of oats and corn, and cleared a net
profit of not less than $4,000.
Strube.
At a meeting of the Farmers Ele-
vator Company held Tuesday a con-
tract was let for an elevator having
a capacity of 10000 bushels to c.
KneWel. Of Cedar Rapids, Iowa The
building is to be complete in sixty
days and is to cost $4,000. Work will
commence next week.
Alton.
A case which promises considerable
interest at the current term of district
court is the Graft will case Theodore
Graft. of Granville. died last spring
S. D.. was practically cut off in the
will. The old gentleman did this-it is
alleged-to square up some thousands
of dollars for which his sons-the
Granville bankers--held notes signed
by kass. kass claims the notes were
given without consideration.
Carroll.
The estimate made regarding the
losses to the county during the
heavy rains of several weeks ago, by
the board of supervisors was not over
rated in the least. and according to
his judgment $4,000 would not re-
place the bridges and approaches.
There are numerous small bridges,
which each township has to replace,
and which are not chargeable to the
county, that to replace will cost sew
eral thousand dollars, in addition to
the loss to the county. 1t would not
be surprising if the loss would ulti-
mately reach in the neighborhood of
100000.
EddyviIIe.
The E;ddyville roundup. or picnic,
which was to have been held here
Monday was not much of a success on
account of the day being rainy and
disagreeable. A tower was erected on
the wagon bridge and Prof. De La
Mont gave his slide for life exhibition
at $3.50 o'clock, landing in net on
the sandbar on the west side of the
river. On account of the rain it was
planned to have the Grafton in the
opera house instead of the park, but
owing to the smallness Of the crowd,
the speaker, Hon. N. E. Kendall, of
Abba, decided not to speak. There is
some talk of having the balloon ascen-
sion and an old settlers meeting at
some date in the near future.
