"Our good vestryman, Mr.. button, has

which briefly announced to him the
good news of his having been offered
a position as stenographer to the gov
ernor of South Dakota. VIII is but
one of the four boys of the illustrious
family who have come into promi-
hence early in life and, although next
to the youngest gives promise of win
ming a name for himself In a short
hn hac
been employed as stenographer at the
Hawkeye Lumber Co. and has ever
been known as bright, industrious
and faithful young man, and his alb
sence will be noticed with regret
among the employees at the lumber
yard. He, like other members of the
| family,perhaps inherits little of his
ability, as many of his ancestors have
not been lost in obscurity. His moth

leave the city and she will long be
remembered for her successful work
in the Woman's Club of this city as
well as for her literary accomplish
ments. Richard Burke was long prom

itor of the Oskaloosa Journal, and it
is his brother who is now governor
of South Dakota and has secured for
his nephew Will the position which
he left here Saturday evening to ac-
cept Will lived in Oskaloosa practi-
cally all his life and his many friends
wish him the best OF everything in the
future and abundant success in his
new position.
