THE GOLF CONTEST.
oskaloosa Takes Nearly Half the
.4r Honors at ottumwa.

Oskaloosa and Ottumwa golf devo-
tees joined in a tournament at ottum-
wa on Labor Day and the Oskaloosa
players won a comfortable share of
the honors of the day in spite Of the
fact that they were defeated in the
total number of contests. There were
ten thirty-six hole matches. Oskaloo-
sa won four and lost six. The tourna-
ment started at ten o'clock in the fore
noon and play was continued until five
o'clock in the evening.
Oskaloosa's team numbered ten play
ers, being allowed Mr.. Hale of Des
Moines for runner up. This gentle
man, who was one of the leaders at
the state tournament recently held, de-
feated the best player of 0ttumwa.
The other games going to Oskaloosa's
side were won by G. w. Shockley, t.
G. Janney and H. H. Harold. In an
other match Oskaloosa was defeated
by single hole, Fred True being the
player to lose. lH.
Frank Janney established new
record for the ground, making the
four hundred and fifty yard hole In
three He lofted in from distance
of one hundred yards, a thing that
has never before been done on the
grounds. &n.,bi'' ..., sa,rsE& 7t 49,
G. w. Shockley did almost as well,
making one of the holes in two and
lofting in from a distance of forty
yards. This work equalled the ground
record. Grant Janney made the low
est score for Oskaloosa, making the
course in AZ. Mr.. Snuffin made ii in
AZ and Mr.. Shockley made it in As.
The Oskaloosa party consisted of
Mr.. Hale, G. w. and Tom Shockley, T.
G.. and Frank Janney, II. A. Snuffin,
Art Baldauf, Fred True, John Mccoy,
Howard Harold. Mrs. Janney, Miss
jamie Farmhouse and Chas. Howard
were interested members of the gal
lery that followed the play.
The party were royalty treated by
the Ottumwa people. Dinner was
served in the club house and the en-
tire day was one of rare pleasure. The
Ottumwa club will come to the city
soon to play a return tournament.

IS A FABMER A HAYsEEp?

Marshalltown Times Republican
is the American farmer hayseed?
OF course not. We all know that he
must be intelligent and up to date in
his business TO succeed. We know
that he owns most all of the bank
stock in Iowa. We know that he
educates his children, buys fine bug
gies for his transportation and pianos
and books for his home. Why, then.
do the cartoonists and humorists per-
sist in the old reference? Why was
he ever called hayseed?
Just this: The farmer years ago de-
MED himself the comforts of living.
He dressed stingily and lived so Drim-
itively that he excited the derision Of
people in the towns. AS cities grew
in wealth modern comforts grew in
number and city life itself grew SO
far away from the severity of the old
backwoods farm life that the town
would call the countryman a hay.
seed" a Jake" and laugh at his billy
goat whiskers.
But, of course, this contrast in con-
ditions does not exist in Iowa. Farm
homes in Marshall county can be
found by the hundreds which will
equal the best that have been built in
the towns, but there are many more
hundreds which could stand improy-
ing and it is here that the attention Of
men is called.
Mother" has shaved away in the
little farm house all these years doing
double work. She has raised a family

have been prosperous. Father"
can't help but feel that he has made
the money and his desire is to buy
more land But mother" is a full
partner. She wants a better home, a
more modern house. She wants to
build. She wants every room kept
warm in winter by the use of fur
mace This comfort can be put in al
most any farm house new or old for
the price of first-class farm horse,
and 1t is as easy to operate as base
burner. She wants fresh paint and
q lawn from which will be excluded all
classes OF live stock. She can see that
the biggest half OF her life has been
spent and she wants to enjoy what
she and father" have earned before
it is yet too late. She knows that the
only difference between her folks and
the folks who live in town is the man
ner in which they live. Before taking
this trip in search of more land it will
be well to listen to what mother"
wants. She is usually right by intui-

that 1t is almost sure death. Hospitals
in some of the old countries fifty. sixty

TWO SWITCHES OPEN.
Mystery In the Cause Of the Wreck
4 at New Sharon. r 81

New Sharon, Ia, Sept. St has
developed that in the frightful railway
accident which occurred here on the
Iowa Central Sunday night in which
one man lost his life and several were
severely but not seriously injured, the
train ploughed through two open
switches and crashed into string of
loaded and empty box cars standing
on the second switch within few
rods of where the train left the main
track. The passenger engine No. 5S
and tender were badly wrecked, the
pilot and steam chest were smashed
against a freight car loaded with
household goods of 4. A. Mather who
is in charge of the Eclipse Lumber
Co. here, badly smashing the car and
contents. The engine cab is mass
of splinters and the tender damned
against the boiler. Engineer James
Clark escaped with a severe wound in
one leg.
Fireman w. A. Cannon of Marshall
town was probably instantly killed.
His body was found wedged against
the boiler and covered with coal. The
body, crushed, and limbs broken, was
conveyed, to the Osborne undertaking
rooms. Several hours after the acct
dent one of his hands, gloved, was
found grasping valve. The engineer
states that he told Cannon to jump,
tempt when caught and crushed to
death. Both were from Marshalltown.
The fireman was single man and for
merly made his headquarters at Oska-
loosa.
The injured are: Mrs. d. Kennedy
of Marshalltown, rib broken. She
and her husband were passengers.
Mrs. Dave Kennedy, of Schooley, Min
nesota, and a mail clerk were slightly
injured. Express Messenger Louie
Jones of OskaIoosa was working in the
express car at the time of the acct
dent and received few bruises. All
were taken to .Marshalltown, an en-.
CINE having been promptly forwarded
from Oskaloosa for that purpose. DR.,
Taylor of this city did all that could
be done for the injured. ~
1t is a clear case of an open switch,
but the responsibility therefor cannot
be located The last train out of New
Sharon was an extra south bound
freight in charge of Conductor HughMc-
Carthy of Oskaloosa and Engineer Bert
Howarth at the throttle, who dropped
off couple of cars at New Sharon.
The first switch is the track to New;
ton, the other switch is not more; than
sixty feet distant and both were open.
Agent McCarl states that these
switches have twice been tempered
with during the past few months, the
last time about ten days ago.
At the request of the relatives of
the dead man, Coroner Chas. F. Foeh-
linger will hold an inquest here to-
morrow in an endeavor to place the
blame of the accident.

its issue of August 30:
Men everywhere who employ

an easier labor market and more
stability to costs than the past

union labor organizations, said the
speaker, can do more in one year to
injure the cause Of the laborers whom
they represent, than consistent work
on the part of level-headed workers
could build up in a lifetime. Mr.. Ken
dali declared that, ignoring the polit-
ical phase of the problem, he believed
that the principal good which it is
the object of the unions to accomplish,
and in (which they have already sue
.ceeded in part, is to deprive the oper-

insolence and indifference of aristo-

The Ball Games.
The triangular base ball tournament
between Beacon. Oskaloosa and Evans
for the cash prize of IS was fought
by the younger lads in the morning,
and the contest was an interesting
one from start to finish and was wit
messed by large number OF specta-
tors Exceptionally good ball was
played, considering the age of the
contestants, and the OskaIoosa lads
gave the Beaconites a hard run for
the prize, which they won after de-
feating Evans easily.
Following the afternoon program at
the park, the crowd again moved to
the base ball diamond near by, where
two fast exhibitions of the national
game were played. The first game
was between the Little Giants of this
city and Beacon. The game was a
pretty contest. The Little Giants put
up good article of ball but lost the
game on errors at critical times by
the score of z to 6. 5r,a s,..,.
The second game was between Bea-
con and Jack Oak. 1t was fast con-
test and with the score tied to the
game was called in the fifth inning on
account of darkness. 1t will be play
ed off later.
