Governor Broward, in speaking for

dramatic speeches of the Campaign,
in which he related a tragic incident

Governor Broward was in Pensa.

where he will deliver an address be-

Knowing the interest the governor
has always felt in the abolition of the

Governor Broward was greeted with
a tremendous and prolonged outburSt

He began with the expression of hope
that those in the audience would not
take his advent among them in the
nature of an irresistible desire to
speak wherever there was crowd,
giving a pleasant anecdote to Illus

statement that he had joined the Sons

Mason City. March 30.-The arrest
of A. Roseboom, the manager of the
creamery at Hartley, by Detective
Warwick, of the Milwaukee road, has
proved q decided relief to the E. e.
Higley company, of this city, as we'll
as the railroad, as both have been
sufferers to considerable extent from
this mans alleged depredations. Rose
boom. who is accused of erasing the
name of the consignee from tubs OF
butter, and placing thereon his own
name, is the owner Of the Hartley
creamery, and is believed to have been
plying his trick on the Higley COM
pany, which is located in this city, for
the past three months.
Not only has butter been lost by the
local company, but they have almost
been routed as competitors from the
vicinity of Hartley by the high prices
Roseboom paid his customers. They
secured some OF his butter and tested
it and found that 1t was poor butter,
but nevertheless he was paying more
for cream than they could. The Mil-
waukee company, which has paid out
$500 in shortages to creamery men
west of here, set detective to work.
He found that east of Hartley no
shortage was reported. so began to in
yestigate at that place. Visiting the
creamery early in the week he found
Roseboom with a piece of glass remov-
ing the name of The shipper of the but
ter and placing his own name in it's
place with a stensil. The butter was
to the Higley company, of
this city. and while they received the
butter, it came marked from Roseboom
instead of the real maker. Roseboom
was taken to Primgar and lodged in
jail.

| Osceola. March 3o.--James Rice, OF
| this place, died Friday morning at the
age of Sc years. The death of this ex-
| cellent man has saddened the heart
of everyone in Osceola, for no one in
this community has been held in higher
personal esteem than has Judge"
| James Rice. He located in Osceola as
practicing attorney in 1856. coming
here from Attca, Ind. He Immediate
ly took rank among the foremost law
Ners of this part of the country and
continued in the practice of his pro-
fession up to JAN 1, 1905. when on ac-
count of physical infirmities he retired.
The last few years of bis professional
life were devoted more especially to
probate matters, in which speciality he
was an expert, and on account of his
we'll deserved reputation for incorrup-
tible integrity. and his warm sympa-
thetic heart, his services We're eagerly
sought, and he enjoyed the confidence
and employment of large cientage.
Judge Rice was too conscientious to
have good success, from a financial
point of view. consequently, altho hav-
clientage with all its opportunities, the
end of life for him finds him financially
poor, but irrepressibly rich in the love
and veneration of those among whom
he has lived all these years.
Judge Rice was an earnest. devoted
Christian and a member of the Pres
byterian church here, and enjoyed with
them their success in building church
house in Osceola in 1868. During all
these years, Judge Rice has been an
elder in the church. and his interest
in. direction and financial support of
the church and It's affairs has been
constant and unflagging.
Judge Rice has been in feeble health
for some three years. He has been
strictly confined to his home more than
a year. and during the last six months
he has endured much physical suffer-
ing, tho he has, thru it all. exhibited
heroic fortitude.
The funeral was held from the Pres
byterian church at Osceola, this after
noon at 3 o'clock.
