lTHERE Is REASON

ma salc side III the young man at
shinnston Sunday night w Tie use of
,carbolie acid adds Importance TO the
suggestion made by the Huntington
Dispatch that the sale of this poison
should 3be more rlgidly eurtailed and
only sold TO The heads Of well regala,.
ed families. Il q n
II any person Is qualified 10 speak
with authority or from The result OF
close observation the editor OF the
Dispatch has had the opportunity to
be eminently qualified, for no town
In the State has had more suicides In
the last year. than Huntington, and
most Of them have been by the use OF
carbollc acid. The question as to
why this deadly drag Is SO often used
Is one Of considerable concern Of
thoughtful people. Why Is It that a
drug so repulslve to the taste, so caus.
tie and horrible In Its effects should
be employed when methods Of self.
destruction entaillng less, pain and
suffering could be used as effective.
Iy? ,a.
Can 1t be that this frlghtiul act Is
only committed by persons who have
by broodhg over rea, or imaginary
troubles become temporarily dethroned
In reason and the, method is not con.
sidered, but the question uttermost
in the mind Is to accomplish the act
Of self'destructlon without thought Of
method, and carbolic acid being so
much spoken OF In this connection,
that the drug Is Intultiyely
or instinctlvely brought to the
mind as the agcn, to b.
used, and consequently employ.
ed? II this is the case II speaks vol.
umes for the potency Of publicity.

1t may be taken for granted that

ance OF the status Of the controversy
between West Virginia and the par.

It gives voice was gathered, no doubt
from the inference thrown out by

the market and sold.
Just what amount. r. any, this
State owes Of the Virginia debt, has
never been ascertained. Virginia's
claim that 1t Is one.third, or any

.HOSTETTER IS DEAD
Motel Temperance Worker Passes
Away In Chicago.

Many Oskaloosans will recall M. l..
Hostetter, the well known temperance
lecturer, who visited the city few
years ago and delivered his lecture on
"A Wasted life" Mr.. Hostetter died
last Sunday at the home of his sister
in Chicago, after a months illness of
hearts disease, leaving wife, two
daughters and son.
Mr.. Hostetter was formerly an insur.
ance man and was associated at differ.
ent times with several of the leading
insurance companies of the country.
He was recognized as one of the best
insurance men of his day. He was a
man of rare intellectual ability, a keen
thinker, logical reasoner, a close
student and true philosopher. His
love for humanity and devotion to prin-
ciples of justice led him into the field
of journalism where he always cham
pioned the peoples cause AS lee
turer in the cause of temperance he
spoke with authority, as his life had
been married by dissipation, and his
lecture was story of repeated efforts
and failures to conquer the awful hab-
it which, as he said, had wasted much
of his life. The cause of true tenn
perance in his, death has lost faith

KENDALL KOMEDY no. A COLLEGE MUSICALE
Founder Of Famous Organization
Dead in California.

Word has been received in the city
of the death of Amos Kendall Holt,
better known to Oskaloosa friends as
H A. Kendall The gentleman died
at his residence in Riverside, Cal,
on Oct. 18th, from double pneumonia,
after an illness of but two days dur
alton. E ."..
Mr.. Holt, or Mr.. Kendall, some years
ago was one of the most successful
managers of the moderate priced
theatrical repertoire companies who
has ever travelled in the west. He
enjoyed fame and prosperity through
a period of more than twenty years
and Oskaloosa contributed toward his
popularity. His company was known
as the Kendall Comedy Company and
was advertised as the K. X. X. For
many years he came to the city dur
ing the week of the county fair and he
played nightly to capacity houses,
with the s. R. o. sign exhibited. He
was seen year after year at the old
city hall which was in the third
story of the Farmers National Bank
building. He also came to the old
opera house soon after its first cree
ton. The man possessed rare ability
both as an actor and an able manager.
He was one of the best known and
most popular men in the profession
in his day and had many personal
friends and acquaintances in this
city. Having acquired a competence
in the profession Mr.. Kendall retired
at Riverside, Southern California, a
place with which he had fallen in love
during his professional touring. He
later established newspaper at this
place and became its editor and man
ager, for the purpose of building up
the town. Mr.. Holt was as success
full in his journalistic career as he
had been in his theatrical work and
he built up valuable property.
Though retired he was of a most ener-
getic and pushing nature and could
not be contented outside of the ac-
tivities of everyday life.
The deceased is survived by his
wife, Mrs. Julia (Saberaux) Holt who
was his constant helpmate during a
most congenial companionship OF
thirty-five years. She was at his side
when he died. The announcement
of the mans death causes regret with
many of the older citizens here who
knew and admired the man during
the years when he was pleased to
make the town. .. ....-
