AN UGLY WOUND.
Little Girls Arm Caught On Nail snc
Badly Lacerated.

Miss Mabel Williams, the 11-year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Williams, No. $40 Seventh avenue
east, met with a painful accident
Sunday evening about four o'clock.
The child had climbed upon a shed
in search of some eggs. She slipped
and fell from the building, and in the
fall her right arm was caught on q
nail and bad three-cornered wound
was made.
Medical attention was secured as
soon as possible and the attending
physician found it necessary to take
nine stitches to properly close the
wound. Miss Mabel was a game
little maiden and steadfastly refused
to take chloroform to have the wound
dressed but she bravely endured the
pain attendant upon the sewing Of
the wound and drawing the edges to
getner. She is better today and ex
periepces little inconvenience from
the hurt, although the arm is very
sore.

At THE l. P. CHURCH.
Annual Business Meeting and Re-
ports of Work for Year.

The annual business meeting of the
United Presbyterian church was herd
at the church parIors Friday after
noon and it was a noteworthy affair
AS has been customary during sew
eral years past, the members were
invited 10 a dinner at the church
About half of the membership re
sponded to the notices issued and a
pleasant social occasion it proved tC
be. The business of the church was
considered during the afternoon.
The meeting was called to order by
S. w. Wilson, who presided as chair
man. The reports of the several off
GERS and departm Mt leaders were
presented, showing most gratifying
results.
The church has now a membership
of one hundred and fiIty-four and has
had a net gain of six members during
the year, A total of nine members
have Joined during the year and three
have been granted letters on account
of removal from the city. Not a
death has occurred in the church
membership during the year. the last
demise being that of W. S. Martin il
December, 1905.
The church under the leadership Oh
the pastor, Rev. T. V. Dugan, has
enjoyed a year of prosperity and pro
gress and all officers and members
have worked together in concord and
enthusiasm. the years work is gen
orally looked upon as successful. The
financial condition of the church is
entirely satisfactory. The organiza.
ton is out of debt, pledges and de
linquents are well paid up and the
new year is inaugurated with the
best of feeling. The church is now
participating in a union revival ser
vice in the city from which beneficial
and lasting results are anticipated.
The repairing and improving of the
church property during the year was
discussed att some length and it is
likely that extensive repairs will be
made some time during the season
The cost of the improvements will be
between five and eight hundred dol
lars. A new roof is needed and paint
ing and papering are also prospective
along with other needs that were
pointed out
The election of officers for the en-
suing year resulted as follows:
s. w. Wilson, chairman, reelected
r. H. Burnside, treasurer.
Miss Bessie Crozi secretary.
c. E. Crozier, truSsee.

the city. Both of these men had to
bacco and cigars about their clothes
taken from the store. 1t is likely
that Carney was also in the store
when Officer Bennett entered, but
that he secreted himself and was sue
cessful in getting away after the off.

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AS
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, Jan 5--Black Diamond
today says;
THE usual dizziness of the holiday
season has prevailed this week. The
mild weather has tended to mitigate
the demand for almost all sizes and
the market shows signs of weakness.
The chief feature of the western coal
trade is the slump in the Pittsburg
No. 8, occasioned by the over supply
predominating in the Chicago mar.
ket. This condition has been brought
about by the reconsigning regulations
of the railroads and the shipment of
a large quantity of coal which was
left over after the close of navigation.
The new year holds, out many induce
ments. 1t is reported that the inter-
nal commerce Of the country has
amounted to nearly twenty-four bill
lion dollars, which exceeds all past
records. This indicates that money
will be free for large portion of 1907
1t will stimulate the manufacturing
industries and therefore create a
greater demand for coal, tue source
Of motive power. The constantly in
creasing population of the country to.
gether with the multiplicity of new
inventions, which aim to utilize
forces accomplishing the work of
many hands, all tends to produce a
very increasing demand for the pro-
ducts of the coal mines"

SUSIE STEDDOM DEAD.
0skaloosa Girl Succumbs to Opera
ton at Denver.

Friends in the city this morning
were shocked over the receipt of a
telegram announcing the unexpected
death Sunday of Miss Susie Steddom
of this city at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs, Mahlon Kirk in Denver, Colo,
RADIO
1t seems that Miss Steddom has
been suffering from the growth of a
fibroid tumor and an operation be-
came necessary. Miss Steddom had
been in California, but had come to
Denver for the operation, The oper.
alton was successful and the patient
seemed to be progressing splendidly
for time, but recovery was impossi-
Bile and the life passed out Sunday.
She knew that she could not recover
and just before her death made the
request that President Rosenberger
of Penn college might conduct the
burial service. Interment will be
made at Waynesville, Ohio, which
was the former home of the family,
and where other relatives are in
tered.
The trouble that caused death
seems to have had rapid development
Miss Steddom on her way west last
fall stopped in Denver to visit with
her intimate friend, Mrs. Kirk. She
was by her prevailed upon to have
an examination made by the family
physician to determine the cause of
a continued suffering, and the nature
of the trouble, was disclosed at this
time. Miss Steddom went on to Cali.
fornia and returned to Denver about
two weeks ago to have the necessary
operation performed.
The death of the lady is greatly to
be regretted. She was an Oskaloosa
girl from early childhood, a graduate
of the OsKaloosa High school and of
Penn college, where she had done
much excellent work and had receiv-
ed marked honors. She was possess
ed of a beautiful character and was
admired and beloved by all who came
in touch with the influence of her
faultless example. Her death causes
general grief at Penn college. She
was member of the Friends church
and as such was associated in the
work of the school and the church,
where her earnest efforts have been
productive of much good The influ.
ence of her splendid character will
long endure and will have lasting
effect among those with whom she
lived and worked.

CAUGHT WITH GOODS.
Night Watch Bennett Arrests Burg
lar in Neagle's Grocery.

Thieves entered the viii Neagle
grocery store Sunday night, bat they
were not successful in getting away
with any goods. One Of the burglars,
young man ABOUT eighteen years of
age, giving the name of White. is
under arrest. The other fellow con
cerned in the robbing Of the store
escaped,
Night Waterman Bennett on his
rounds through the alleys heard some
one in the store about 1O:45 o'clock.
He tried the rear door, found it Sc
cure, went to the front Of the room
and could see no one. He then went
to the east side entrance and found
this door unlocked and open He
stepped inside and found a couple Of
fellows standing near the end Of the
counter by the door as if ready to
come out. Mr.. Bennett did not think
then that the fellows were thieves,
but thought they were clerks at
work, overtime. He said something
about what they were doing there so
late and the man White answered
that they were after some chewing
gum. The other man dropped an arm
load of cigars which he was carry
ing and bolted pell nell for the front
Of the store. He ran with all speed,
made dive through the heavy glass
of the entrance door and landed safe
ly on the sidewalk outside. He was
evidently unhurt for he made good
his escape. Mr.. Bennett grabbed
White. who had about two ana a half
dollars worth Of chewing gum in his
several pockets. He was taken to
the Jail. H refused to give up the
name of his pal" saying that the
only thing he knew of him was that,
he was called Jack.
Will McDonough, who is in charge
Of the store during the absence Of.
Mr.. Neagle from the city, was in the
store about ten o'clock and the thieves
might have been concealed in the
store at that time. But for the
timely appearance Of Night Watch
man Bennett the fellows might haVel
made away with considerable plumber.
Two Nor suspects Caught.
Officers Henley and Walls made a.
serach of the town for some fellow
with a broken head and after con
siderable work they found a clew
which was assiduously followed and
gave new developments. Three men
had been engaged in the Job, all
young fellows. The officers found
the boys at the Rock Island station
bunking in a passenger coach. One
fellow named Ryan had his head
wrapped up and had his hand cut.
The third man implicated in the trou.

Failing in business here six years
ago, he departed with his family for
Chicago, having lived there ever Size.
He was a hard drinker and when a
Garner man visited him there a year
ago founu him living win his wife
and child in the poorer part of the
city, without means and in poor cir
cumstances. 1t is said he was on
the Chicago police force at one time.
Steele was city marshal of Garner
for a number OF years and was al
ways considered a quiet, peaceful
man, though he never mingled with
others. His brother-in-law, Chas. +.
Goodyear, was the only man he would
contide in, and the two correspondent

Steele ran a small implement, well

AMONG THE CHURCHES
Items Of Interest Cleaned from Pull
pit and Sanctuary.

Rev. Zendt's text for the morning
sermon at the Christian church was
from James 1872, BE ye doors OF
the word and not hearers only, de.
ceiving your own selves" This, he
stated, would be the motto of the
church for the new year. We have
the theory of christianity quite well
learned but lack the practice yet in
its fullest completeness. The real
failure of the work of the church to-
day in bringing the world to Christ is
not in theory but in practice. We are
good soldiers of Christ but need the
severe drill which makes the soldier
forget himself by being filled with
the responsibility of his calling. be-
ing the first Lords day of the year,
the pastor submitted the following
brief report of his work for the year
1906: Sermons and addresses deliv-
cred, 1O1; funerals attended, "a mar.
riages solemnized, %; pastoral calls
made, 500; the membership has been
increased 265; there have been lost
to the church by death and by letter
%, making net gain in the year of
240 members. The church at this
time has a resident membership of
775, and nonresident membership
Of 100. The year has been marked by
great blessings, not only in increased
numbers but in larger spiritual life.
Rev. Zendt goes to Burlington today
to engage in a meeting of some days
with the Christian congregation in
that city, who dedicated new house
Of worship yesterday. The Sunday
school contest with Mason City dur.
ing the last quarter resulted as fol.
lows: The average attendance of Ma.
son City's school was 247; average Of
fering, $9.05; average attendance Of
the Oskaloosa school was 300 and the
average offering $14.16. Oskaloosa
eXcelled in the average attendance
and Mason city led in the per cent
of their offering, according to the
number of pupils enrolled. The con-
test gave new spirit and interest to
both schools. The annual offering of
the Oskaloosa school for all purposes
was $559.33; average offering for the
year, $10.56, and average attendance
for the year 2SS pupils. Larger life,
interest and numbers is the mark set
by the superintendent, c. NJ. Porter,
for the coming year
