Of slack work, and he was quite for
tunate in being able to secure a run
at this time. During his briei Service
on the city police force since last
April, Mr.. Ruggenberg has been a
faithful officer and has figured in
many ofSthe most disagreeable arrests
which have been made. He served
most of the time as night police, and
it had always seemed to be his fate to
be on hand during all the toughest
trouble, but he had never shirked his
duty and was well liked by his fellow
officers, who regret to see him leave
the force, although they extend CON
ordinations to him in securing the bet
ter position ON the railroad.

THE NAME CHANGED.
Frankel Dry Goods Co. Succeeds
the Pfeifer Co.

At a recent meeting of the stock
holders of the Pfeifer Dry Goods Co,
that name was dissolved and the firm
succeeded by the Frankel Dry Goods
Co., with Henry Frankel as president,
C. r. Lee vice president, and Nate
Frankel. secretary treasurer With
this change in the corporation, the re-
firing president, F, B. Shafer, and sec
retary-treasurer, Herman Pfeifer. sew
er their connection with the business
entirely Mr. Henry FrankeI and Mr..
Lee will continue to manage the store
as they have been doing since last De
cember.
The appearance of the new firm re
calls the fact that the name Frankel
has been associated with some bust
ness firm of the city continuously for
over fifty years. Almost when Oska-
loosa was first placed on the map |.
Frankel was known as proprietor OF
the clothing store by that name. and
ever since, some firm of the city has
borne 1t down until the present time.
None of the family are any more con-
nected with the rrankel State Bank,
the only connecting link in the chain
which has singularly held out until the
son Of that pioneer business man of
the city has now become identified
as president Of the dry goods store
which will continue the name in the
future.
The new proprietors are splendid
business men and an energetic and en-
terprising management of a fine bust
ness is assured.

REACHED
Alleged Sale Of Mortgaged Property
Is Adjusted.

Upon the information of Selma
Woods. Henry Principal, proprietor of
the Imperial Bakery, was arrested
Monday afternoon charged with selling
mortgaged property valued at $50. He
was brought by Constable AL Jones
before Bacon's court and arraigned,a and
after consultation with his attorney
he decided to waive examination to
the grand jury. After couple of
hours spent in frultless attempts to
secure the necessary 5000 bond. how
ever, he began to talk of settlement
and a temporary arrangement was
made whereby the case was postponed
until October 10, and he was released
upon his own bond. The trouble will
no doubt be settled in a few days and
the case will never come to trial.
According to the story told by Mr..
Principal, the whole matter was the
result of a misunderstanding Tle
direct cause of his arrest was Ma
tional cash register which he includ-
ed in the bill of sale when he disposed
of his restaurant to Guy Smith, M. B.
Wagstaff, representing the National
Cash Register Co., is the holder of
the mortgage of $55, but he had been
satisfied by Mr.. Principals promise to
pay for the cash register in short
time and was not the cause of the ac-
ton. The prosecuting witness is now
one of the proprietors of the restau-
rant, and when he learned that his
cash register bore a heavy mortgage,
he tried to make settlement with
Mr.. Principal, and, fearing that he
was about to leave the city, caused his
arrest. Mr.. Principal has had hard
luck since entering the bakery and
restaurant business In the city and
claims he has been losing money ev-
cry day, and when he sold his restau-
rant to Guy Smith he took in exchange
100 acres of land which he claims has
proved to be poor land. Last week he
was arrested for breaking into the res
taurant building after it had been
closed by the sheriff, but it was found
that he had only gone in to put quar-
ter in the gas meter so as to give him
light in the bakery, and he was re
leased at once.
AS the trouble has now been set,
tied, Mr.. Principal has deposited with
Squire Bacon money enough to pay
the costs of the action and to cover
the mortgage of $55, and as soon as
Mr. Wagstaff returns to the city it is
thought that the mortgage can be re-
leased and the case dismissed.
