THE NEW ELKS HOME
Present Building To Be Completely
Remodeled.

The plans for the alteration and
improvement of the Elks' Building,
corner Second avenue and First street,
nave been received and they were
shown at a regular meeting of the
lodge Thursday evening.
The plans contemplate the extern
sion of the building south to the lot
line and thus enlarging the building
to a considerable extent. In the
lodge quarters the enlargement will
provide for a stage at the south end
of the lodge room, a couple of office
rooms on one side for the secretary
and other officers, with safe and need
ed accommodations and on the other
side rooms for the lodge property sup
plies, etc. These accommodations
will permit the removal of a couple
of rooms from the north part of the
building and the enlarging of the club
rooms. An inside stairway is pleas
ing feature of the new plans and a
steel ceiling is also specified.
The lateness of the present season
IIC oI mo hihAO
impractical and the work will not be
commenced this year. 1t is the inten-
ton of the lodge, however, to make
the alterations as early next season
as work can be started.
The plans in the meantime will be
at the lodge rooms for the inspection
and the criticism Of members. The
committee desires help and suggest
ions from members and If any have
other ideas as to lettering or improv-
ing the plans now is the time to talk.
The plans as drawn are not necessar-
| lily permanent but any desired changes
can be made before the work of re-
modelling the building is commenced
in the spring.

FRESH WATER PEARLS
Skunk River Yields Two Handsome
Specimens.

Tom Mason made a valuable find i'll
Skunk river a short time ago while
gathering mussels for bait. Tom has
seen pearl hunters work in other
streams and when opening mussels he
invariably looks and feels for the
pearls which many of the fresh water
varieties are known to secrete. He
mas found many imperfect pearls from
time to time, but not until the other
day has he ever succeeded in discOv-
ering a valuable specimen. His latest
find Is in the nature of two handsome
pearls almost perfect in shape and of
good size. One is a delicate pink in
color and the other a light cream or
straw color. Mr.. Mason was offered
ten dollars each for the pearls on the
spot when he found them. He has not
yet consulted a jeweler as to value o.
the pearls, but he is confident from
what little experience he has had in
the business that he has made a find
worth many times the amount OF thu
first offer.

KIDNAPPED HER CHILD
Divorced Parents Contest Possession
of Their Daughter.

| Mrs. Love Townsend is liable to ar
rest upon the serious charge of kid
mapping, also for contempt Of court
for taking her own daughter, Thelma
Townsend, eleven years old, from her
divorced husband, John l.. Townsend,
of Gilbert Station, Story county, Iowa.
John l.. Townsend and his former
wife, Mrs. Love Townsend, were di-
vorced by the Story coupty court. The
judge on the bench gave the husband
the custody of the two children, Thel-
ma, a girl of eleven years, and boy
of twelve years. When the judge gave
the decree and the custody of the chill.
dren to the husband, he granted the
mother the right to visit the children.
Mrs. Townsend few days ago went
to Gilbert Station to visit the chill
dren. She returned to her home near
Oskaloosa Thursday, bringing her
daughter Thelma with her. Mr..
Townsend arrived on the next train
and appeared before Justice Bacon and
demanded the custody of the child
Constable Andrews was given thence
sary papers and went to the Rock
Island depot where he learned the
woman was going to Rose Hill for a
visit with her brother, Ed Simpkins.
While he was serving the notice,
Townsend appeared on the scene in
a buggy and demanded his daughter.
A scene was narrowly averted. Hot
words passed between the divorced
parents over the daughter, who was
clinging to her mothers skirts.
The woman would not turn over the
child to her former husband, who left
the scene. He consulted attorneys and
says the lady will be arrested for con-
tempt of court and charges of kidnap-
ping will be preferred against her If
she does not return the girl. The
child over which the divorced couple
are fighting Is a sister of Mrs. Bessie
Townsend Grub, the young girl who
was killed by her husband, Lee Grub,
on the public square last fall. John
l.. Townsend and Mrs. Love Townsend
were parents of the murdered girl.
Mrs. Townsend appealed to the po-
lice department upon her arrival in
Oskaloosa. She claims to have a
right to the children. She stated the
children desired to come to her and
the little girl bore out the statement
in conversation with officer Rillihan.
She said plainly and emphatically that
she wished to be with her mamma.
Mrs. Townsend states that she had
both her son and daughter. but that
Mr.. Townsend came aboard the train
as she was leaving Gilbert Station and
attempted to take the children. The
children and the woman made an out
cry but before the train officials could
interfere Townsend had seized the
lad and taken him from the train. He
then followed Mrs. Townsend to this
city.

OLD FRIEN IDS.

with apologies to Riley)
Sure, there's no friends like the old
friends,
The ones we ulster know;
That shared our joys and sorrers,
In the days of long ago.
There's a queery kind O. feelin
That gifts mighty near the heart
When the old friends git around us,
Kinder makes the teardrops start.
Makes the sunshine leetle brighter,
Makes the posies smell more sweet;
Makes the skies seem leetle bluer,
When us old friends git to meet.
Course, the newer friends may cheer
US, ~ al"
May be Kindest In the land;
But there's somethln' kinder lackin'
When we grab stranger hand.
An can't help thinkin's, somehow,
When us old friends git to meet,
On the tother side of Jordan,
Twill make Heaven seem more
sweet. t. ~

WILD GOOSE CHASE.
Fire Department Rushes to Wrong
Coal Chutes.

An alarm of fire Sunday morning
took the department on a wild goose
chase through the misunderstanding
of the directions which came over
the phone, or the giving of the wrong
direction. The location of the fire
was on Fourth avenue, west of the
Burlington tracks, in a small frame
dwelling owned by Mrs. Dan Haworth.
In giving the location of the fire some
mention was made of coal chutes,
the house being near the Burlington
coaling place. The fire company was
sent west of the Central coal chutes,
almost a mile distant from the loca
ton of the trouble.
The fire was not a serious affair
and was easily managed through the
timely assistance of neighbors and the
attention of the nre department was
not necessary.

ONE MORE FACTORY
The Carbon Wall Plug Will be Made
in 0skaloosa.

George Carbon, ]. S. Hayes and R
M. Boyer have organized under the
firm name of THE Carbon Sales Com
pany," and will manufacture the"Car'
Ion Wall Plug" recently invented and
patented by Mr.. Carbon.
For the present the steel parts OF
the new article will be manufactured
by the Iowa Manufacturing Company.
The finishing will be done in tempo
rary quarters secured in the Dunshee
carpenter shop on High avenue east.
Mr.. Carbon will supervise the manu-
facture of the plugs and Mr.. Hayes
will do the office work.
Though so far little effort has been
made to put the article on the market
the demand for the plugs has grown
steadily, and the future of the inven-
ton seems very bright. In the start
thus made Oskaloosa may have the
embryo of another large factory.
The Carbon plug is used in brick,
stone and cement buildings. 1t takes
Tic pldCe vi "OOuSh pluSS lOI ldoISH-
ing door and window castings and plas-
tering strips. The Carbon plug will
not swell or crack the plastering and
will hold a nail more firmly than If
it were driven into solid oak. Every
contractor who has used them wants
more, and when their virtues become
known to the trade the demand for
them will be established, and will in.
crease rapidly.

HURRICANE HITS MANILA
BAY is SWEPT FOR HOURS BY
TREMENDOUS STORM.
E@ttleships Uninjured by the Fierce
Gale and Heavy Sea-Dam-
age Done Ashore.

Manila, Oct. 5.-The Atlantic battle
ship fleet has safely outridden a hur.
ricane which swept Manila bay for
II hours and did much damage ashore.
Typhoon signals were displayed
early Sunday morning, but the storm
broke over the bay suddenly and I'M
expectedly at noon. 1t was impossible
to hoist the cutters and launches be-
longing to the feet because of the dan.
ger of smashing them against the
steel sides of the battleships, and the
little craft were sent scurrying inside
the bTeakwater into the Pasig river,
whc:o they remained all night.
Tie storm quickly increased in in
tc2s'ty and the to:rential rains shut
in the ships.
At eight o'clock Sunday night the
storm had reached its height and 1t
then gradually tapeHad down until at
midnight It was comparatively calm,
although heavy seas swung across the
harbor.
During the storm all the battleships
had steam up ready for any emergen-
cy. Rear Admiral Sperry finally or
dered the flagship Connecticut and the
Kansas. Minnesota, Vermont, Virginia
and Ohio under way. They were close
to Cayite, where they anchored.
At times the wind blew at the rate
of 100 miles an hour. All communities
ton with shore was cut off. 1t was
impossible during the height of the
storm to see the warships through the
haze OF rain and spray.
On shore It was dangerous to go
about. Several carriages were over.
turned by the wind, trees were blown
down, electric wires were Frustrated
and several buildings were unroofed
among them being the depot of the
commissary. Several naval officers
ashore on various errands were com
PEELED to remain ashore all night.

o'clock Friday evening. Currier was
driving east on High avenue and was
on the left side Of the street car track
The east end car was coming west
Currier, when opposite the residence
Of c. c. Sheppard, turned across the
track to take the right hand side OF
the street. The car caught the rear
wheels, overturned the top buggy,
splitting man, groceries and other pur'
chases over the pavement. Currier

Commodore Lee came out from Chi

returned to the city Thursday morn
ing. His wife and mother went TO
Des Moines the same day, Were they
will visit few days with relatives
and friends and will then go direct
from there to Chicago. Thus time
brings about many unexpected
changes. But a few years ago the
Lees were looked upon as permanent
fixtures in Oskaloosa. No one eX-
pected to see them move away. No
one wanted to lose them from the
community, but now that it is an es'
tablished fact, everyone is sincere in
their regrets. We will miss them as
few families would be missed, be-
cause they have always been promi-
nent in every line of social and re-
ligious work. Their friends were
limited only by their acquaintance
and for twenty years their nome and
hospitality has been one of the bright
spots in our social circles. And OF
Mother Lee-who will not miss that
sweet, cheerful, Christian woman?
Old and young alike loved and re-
spected her. In sickness, sorrow and
death she has been an inspiration and
help to hundreds in our city, who
will not fail to shed a genuine tear OF
regret when they learn of her going
away. But the best interest of Mr..
Lee demanded the change and 1t
could not well be avoided. But peo-
pie of their worth and character will
make friends wherever they go and
while We regret their removal we
know they will find success and much
pleasure among their new friends in
the city.

MARRIAGE ANNULLED
JOHN o. PERRY, uF NEWTON, Lee
GALLY FREED FROM MUCH
MARRIED WOMAN.

Newton, Oct 3.-John ID. Perry, OF
this city, has succeeded IN having his
marriage to Caroline Carlson-Perry
annulled, Judge McHenry, of Des
Moines. granting the petition. Perry S
so-called wife had at least seven liy-
ing husbands, and made it a business
to marry men and then bleed them for
their money.
Perry was the third in the list of the
woman's matrimonial victims, and the
couple were married in 1905. The wo-
man pretended to be in the employ
of the government postal service and
when fitting from husband to hus.
band from time to time told Perry
that she was called away on secret
business and could not divulge her
whereabouts. 1t was while on one OF
these trips that Perry grew suspicious
and he followed her to Des Moines.
There he accidentally met man from
Canada named Carlson, who was in
quest of the same woman. Then it
developed that Mrs. Carlson-Perry
had other husbands, and seven all
told were located. The woman, how
ever, disappeared before she could be-
arrested, it developing that she pur-
chase a mans attire. She was al
large woman, pair of overalls she
had made to order, measuring 50 in
ches around the waist. Except for
her size she was good to look upon.
She had told Perry that she had an
income of 500 per month, but after
he met Carlson it was learned that
his bank account was the source of
the income and that he had been
mulcted regularly to that amount.
Carlson said the woman came south
each winter on the pretext that Can
ada was too cold.
Perry is an honest mechanic, and
suffered by his matrimonial venture
only to the extent that the woman
ran many bills he had to pay.

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

| Chicago, Oct. 3.-The Black Dia
mond in its issue today says: 1.-The
arrival of the long-expected spell OF
cold weather has had tendency to
clear the air for the coal trade, by
showing the spots where weakness ex'
II lists and by removing doubts about
other sections of the country. The
prompt action of buyers and retailers,
in taking coal where it was sorely
needed, has tended to remove the dan
ger of serious consequences a little
later.
1T cannot be said that the position
of the consumers, generally, was as
precarious as had been believed, hence
the future of the market is dulled TO
that extent. 1t is too early yet to
make any sweeping statements as es-
tablished facts, but it is possible to
point out the indications as they ap-
pear here and there. 1t has been
more or less apparent that the north
west was in danger of recurrence Of
its shortage Of 1906. AS soon as the
cold weather appeared that danger was
realized both by the consumers and
retailers, with the result that there
was a scramble to buy coal, as soon
as snow began to fly. The necessary
measure of relief has been taken. The
movement away from the docks was
surprisingly heavy and that, just
now, is of Unreasonable benefit, as it
will enable freer movement from the
lower lake docks. The congestion,
that resulted in inactivity, is no long
err a factor on the lakes"
