ton. Davenport secures the location
Of the state headquarters for the COM

Next Convention at Keokuk.
The discussion of suitable and
satisfactory place for the holding of
the next state convention was short.
Keokuk's claims to the honor were
briefly and eloquently set forth, and
the vote was unanimous. The selec-
ton was satisfactory in every respect,
and the delegation from Keokuk Post
j was highly complimented on their
victory While Keokuk was selected
without opposition it was known that
several other cities in the state were
after the plum if it was thought there
was fighting chance.
OskaIoosa in 1909.
There is no reason why Oskaloosa
should not have the convention III
1909 A united effort on the part of
the local members, coupled with an
invitation from the Commercial club,
would land the plum. The convention
would bring about 200 of the wide
awake travelling men of the state to
Oskaloosa, and their visit would mean
much to the city.

BIG FIRE At BEACON.
Two Houses Destroyed Shortly AT
ter Noon To-day.

Beacon, Ia, May 11.--While the ma.
jority of the residents Of this place
were in Oskaloosalto attend the circus
this afternoon, a fire broke out in the
Ed Jacobson residence, just west of
the Rock Island depot, and soon spread
to the old Miller home next door, and
in less than half an hour botn build
ings were leveled to the ground. Ev-
erything possible was done to check
the progress of the flames, but very
little of the furniture was saved and
both buildings were completely de-
stroyed.
The flames were first noticed about
one o'clock this afternoon, but by
that time the Jacobson house was al.
ready too far gone for there to be
any hope of saving it, and all efforts
were spent on the next building,
which has been occupied by the faith
er Of Peter Miller, but to no avail.
All of the occupants of the two homes
we're in Oskaloosa with the exception
Of Ray jacobson, VINO is employed in
the Williams Bros store.

Grant Janney winResume His Posi-.
ton As Salesman.

Mr.. Grant Janney some time age
was offered, and accepted, the posi-
ton Of manager OF the H. L. Spencer
Company Branch Of Western Grocer
Company, not, however, without re-
greet to give up his chosen vocation,
that OF salesman, which to do would
deprive him Of the pleasure Of calling
upon mis- many patrons and friends,
whose favors and friendship he mas
for many years enjoyed and appre.
ciated. And since taking on the ardu-
GUS and responsible duties of manager,
which have not proven entirely con
genial to his tastes and training, he
mas requested that his resignation be
accepted, and allow him to again de-
vote his entire time and attention to
the sales department, with which he
has for many years been continuously
and efficiently connected.
Mr.. Janney has had a long, practi.
cal and successful experience in the
wholesale grocery business, and is
thoroughly capable and reliable, and
well posted in his chosen vocation.
