Y. M. c. A. SECRETARY
A Successor To ]. A. Van Dis Is
Hard To Find.

In view of the fact that next Thurs
day is the last day of Mr. ]. A. Van
Dis's connection with the Y. NJ. c. A.,
of this city, as secretary, and as he
will leave Friday to take up his work
as Y. M. c. A. Boys secretary for the
State of Michigan, the association
board of directors feel much anxiety
over their failure to secure success
or to him. Numerous offers have been
made to different men, but no one com
petent has been able to consider the
proposition. This morning the COM
mittee were glad to receive word from
Secretary r. l.. Moeller, of the Par
son, Kas., Y. M. C. A., stating that he
would come to this city Monday to
look over the field. He was a class
mate of our present secretary in the
Y. M. C. A. training school at Chicago
and is strongly recommended. He
has not yet been offered the position,
as it was feared he would not consider
making change, In view of his re-
markable success in Kansas, where he
is at the head of an association with
membership of about 500. His com.
ing here, however, indicates that there
is possibility of securing him for the
place and he will be elected if he can
see the way clear to accept.
Secretary J, A. Van Dis will speak
at the mems meeting in the Y. NJ C.
A. rooms Sunday afternoon at $3.50,
and his remarks will be in the nature
of a farewell address, as tomorrow will
be his last Sunday in the city. Mr..
Van Dis leaves Nov. LIST to take up his
new work as Y. M. G. A. Boys secre-
tary for the state of Michigan. Hun
dreds of members and friends of the
association deeply regret to lose Mr..
Van Dis as an associate, and especially
as the head of the Y. M. c. A. work, as
his presence has ever been an inspira-
ton and his efforts most successful.
Let every man and boy come out to
the meeting tomorrow afternoon to hear
his farewell remarks. There will be
special music by Miss Mae Millar as
pianist and Mrs. C. d. Marckress as
vocalist.

DISEASE is PUZZLE.
Some Say 1t Is Cholera, But Others
Deny This.

The fatal disease which has been
prevailing among the hogs in this dis
trict and east of here has, the farmers
think, about run it's course, or at least
is dying out in localities where it had
been severe.
There is some dispute as to the ma
ture of the disease, but is generally sup
posed to be cholera, while some claim
it is typhoid fever, and still others
say it is worms. AT any rate some of
the farmers, north of Hedrick, have
suffered heavy loss.
The market here and at Ottumwa
has not been affected materially only
so far as to receive more small hogs
than usual, and at the public sales
throughout the country the farmers
have been more slow than usual in
bidding on hogs for fear of an attack
of the dreaded disease.

BRING SHOPS HERE.
0skaloosa Commercial Club Alive
to the Situation.

If the Iowa Central shops are not
rebuilt in Marshalltown-and there
are good reasons for believing they
will not be- Oskaloosa would like to
have them here. This fact was EN-
phasized at special meeting of the
commercial club called this morning
to consider the probable outcome of
last nights fire.
A committee OF five business men
was appointed to look into the mat
ter and take whatever steps are neces-
sary to further oskaloosas claim for
the shops, which have often been
promised to this city. The commit
tee comprises H. H. Sheriff, Art OPP
penheimer, |. w. Cook, G. E. Fraker
and A. Rosenblatt.
Oskaloosa being the converging
point of the two main lines. and OF
two branches, is naturally the place
for the shops, and this fact has long
been recognized by the operating Of
ficlals of the road. The expense OF
moving the shops has been a barrier
to the change in locations, but now
that the property has been destroyed
there is no apparent reason why the
shops should not be brought to Uska-
loosa.
The excellent committee appointed
for that purpose can be relied upon
to safeguard Oskaloosa's chances and
claims, but meantime our people
should put forth every individual in
fiuence possible looking toward the
securing of the enterprise for Oska-
loosa. If money consideration is
necessary, every business man and
property owner in Oskaloosa should
fall in line with generous subscrip-
ton. The iron is hot, now is the time
to strike!

IS NOT A CANDIDATE.
Representative OfHll Will Not Run
For Congress.

Prairie City, Ia, Oct. "a. 1907.
Ed. News Owing to the misfortune
which occurred in my family and the
farming and cattle business which oc-
cupies so much of my time, | have
decided not to be candidate for con-
gress from the Sixth district this time.
Thanking the papers and my friends
for their support and what they have
said and done for me in the past, ex-
pect to ask for the denomination to the
state legislature from Jasper county.
There is some unfinished business of
Importance in which | am interested
and would like to see completed.
| make this announcement so as not
to stand in the way of others who may
want to come out for congress.
With gratitude to the voters OF Jas.
per county and hoping to be returned
to the state legislature, remain,
Yours Truly, j.. f. Offill.
The above letter explains itself, and
while Mr.. Offill no doubt has many
friends who believe that he would have
made a strong candidate for congress,
we can but feel he showed his usual
good judgment in withdrawing from
the race for nomination. That he will
receive the nomination for the office
of representative from this county
there is scarcely a doubt, and if Mr..
Ofill had entered the congressional
race, he would only have been trading
the substance for the shadow.
Now we are sure that Johns friends
will see that he receives the nominal
tion for representative, and that he is
elected by a rousing majority. Prai-

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Harry Mickey sustains Injury in Pc
cuIiar Way.

An almost amusing but yet quite
distressing accident occurred in the
Smoke House at the northeast corner
of the square Friday evening in which
Harry Mickey was the principal actor.
By thrusting the back of his anatomy
through the double-strength plate
glass show case he not only riddled
the crystal surface, but punctured his
own flesh with a splinter of glass
about four inches wide, causing him
no little discomfort and making sit
ting posture almost impossible for
the present.
The young man was standing with
his back to the show case and with his
elbows perched on the top he was ex-
ercising the spring in his knees,
amusing himself with the cracking of
the joint as the tibia and femur
ground out their peculiar music be.
meath the resounding patella All at
once he made mis-step and his knee
failed to crack, but the plate glass in
his rear went crack. crack, as he
took seat in the midst of the fancy
display of pipes and cigars. The
glass was riddled as though struck
with rock, but. luckily, the breaks
in his injured members were not so
numerous.
The accident was not as much of a
joke as it might have seemed to a
bystander for Harry has really suf-
fered considerable pain and his wound
will cause him considerable discom-
fort for several days.
