BAPTIST LADIES' AID.
Good Meeting and Election of Of.
ficers For Year. .t

A fairly good representation of the

from being present.
There was an election of officers
and are as follows: Mrs. Borum,
president; Mrs. Gum, vice-president;
Mrs. A. o. Broyles, secretary and
Mrs. j. w. Broyles, treasurer. A
number of plans were discussed for
the future of the society.
Following an adjournment of the
Ladies' Aid the Missionary Society
was called to order and officers were
elected as follows: Mrs. A. o. Broy-
les, president; Mrs. A. M. Duboc,
vice president; Mrs. Elmer Barrows,
secretary and treasurer. Refresh
ments was served at the close of the
meeting. The ladies were we'll pleased
with the meeting and everyone said
they believed it was profitable one.
They each have vision OF future
prosperity and growth along all lines
OF work.

WAS NOT UNDERSTOOD
Many Mistakes Developed In
Primary Election.

| The primary election developed the
fact that hosts OF people did not un-
lderstand the method of voting the
party ballot and wide range OF err
rors were made. The election boards
were surprised at the conditjanH de-
veloped by the count. Many people
had voted for a single candidate. This
was true in the greater number OF
cases in the choice of Allison or Cum
minis. A host of voters voted for Al
lison or Cummins and then jumped to
the county ticket without noticing the
other offices. Some would vote only
for candidate here and there about
the ticket. Many ignored the town
ship candidates and would not vote for
the delegation to the county conven-
tion. A large number pasted the
names of the delegates on the ticket
but forgot to mark for them in the
square opposite each name. Some
voters marked for every man in a col
umn, possibly with the intent to"vote
her straight"
The election boards were continual
ly asked for instructions and practi-
cally half the people voting asked for
assistance in marking their ballots.
The judges were much surprised at
the number of people asking for help
in their voting.
On the other hand it appears that
some of the election boards were
themselves deficient in understanding
the letter of the law and a multitude
of mistakes occurred in the work of
the boards. There was not board in
the county to which the work was.not
a new thing and In each and every
one of the boards in the entire county
differences arose as to ways and
means of counting and caring for the
supplies and the records.
In no less than five of the precincts
of the county the record of the vote as
counted was sealed within large en-
velope intended for supplies and the
figures are therefore not available at
the office of the county auditor for tab
ulation until the board of supervisors
meets to count the vote next Tues
day The vote of these townships had
to be secured in another way from
parties who had obtained the informa-
ton at the precinct.
Every one who had to do with the
election board work Is greatly dissat-
isfied with the requirements of the
new hw ard a big demand will be
made upon the next Legislature for
notifications and bettctp9nts.

GETTING THE RETURNS.
The HeraTd's Special Effort Bore Good
Fruit.

The Herald, previous to the pri-
mary election, made arrangements to
get the results of the election in ali
of the precincts of the county througt
it's corps of correspondents township
committeeman or election officials.
The Herald anticipated delay in OBJ
tanning figures from the usual semi
official sources and thus made effort
to cover the ground by quicker
method. As a result the Herald was
enabled to give its readers on the
evening following election practically
a complete statement of the result in
the county. The totals shown lacked
the figures of only four precincts, and
these did not reach us until the morn
ing following. The figures in the Of.
fee of the county auditor will not
show the completed vote until the
meeting of the county board next
Tuesday. The Herald is not tossing
itself any bouquets on this piece Of
work, but it is nevertheless gratified
that its efforts resulted in getting the
results from each township and max.
ing possible the securing Of the news
when it was news.

ON THE WATER WAGON.
Former 0kaloosa Boy Is Accorded
Unique Honors.


Orison ]. G. Dutton sends the Her
aid copy of the Seattle Post.Intelli.
gencer of May IL, containing notice
of former Oskaloosa boy, son of a
Rector of St, James Episcopal church.
The dispatch is as follows:
Bellingham, May 16.-Astride the

to the state convention at Spokane,
who made one of the most remarkable
speeches ever, heard in a convention
hall in this state and won for the re-
publican party platform option plank.
was carried through the streets of the
city today after his arrival on the
Great Northern train at 1880 o'clock.
Although lew of the citizens of the
city were advised of the program map
ped out for Howards reception, the
streets were lined and the returning
delegate was the center of attraction.
1t was decidedly novel affair in more
ways than one.
Howard was met at the train by
Mrs. Howard, but she was not allowed
to take charge of her returning spouse.
Others were there to greet him and
before he realized what was on the
program he was. hustled away to the
tracks ON Holly street, where the wat
er sprinkling car was awaiting, appro-
priately decorated for the occasion,
banners with the words ''Mead's Plat
form" hanging from the sides. When
the delegate saw the cart he began TO
realize what was in store for him and
made desperate attempt to escape.
But there was a goodly band of stall
wart republicans on hand and he was
hustled aboard. Even then an un-
guarded side of the car allowed him
to make his escape for just half
minute, when he was captured and re-
turned to his position.
HeIl, u make Inc HOnOT6u SpedhcT
doubly secure, he was forced to mount
the tank and astride of II he was car
ried through the streets. At the cor
ner of Elk and Holly he was allowed
to get to the street again and after
thanking the committee for the honor
and assuring them tnat il he had been
possessed of a six-shooter they would
not have taken him so easily, he was
escorted to his Office in the Pike block.
Howard was the leader of the What
com county delegation at the state
at Spokane and those who
were present declare that it was his
speech for the adoption of
the local option plank in the state re-
publican platform that secured that
principle place IN the document. w.

cached for the little bottle on an up
Der shelf and before his actions could
De stopped he had removed the cork
md emptied the contents in his
mouth. Fully two teaspoonfuls were
iwallowed, while the remainder ran
over his mouth and face, causing Sc

were then applied to counteract the
powerful effects of the violent poison.
The child has now fully recovered.

Samaritan" He emphasized the i'm
portance of loving thy neighpor as
thyself, and held the betrayal of man

the child of God. The sermon was
logical and clear and created a pro-
found impression. A. R. Allen render
ed beautiful selection on the cello
and accompanied Mrs. Virginia Knight
Logan in an effective vocal solo.
In the afternoon the ritual services
were conducted in the Castle hall
following which the Uniform Rank
and subordinate lodge, seventy-five

ed with beautiful bouquets and single
cut flowers strewn by each member
as the procession passed by. The
leading ceremonies were conducted
over the grave of John Baxter, the
last member of the order to be laid to
rest in this city. The ceremonies
