they stepped up to the door two
masked men shouted, hold up your

two shots we're fired. They both en-.

and the other his breast.
Snyder fought like demon. He
knocked the revolver out of the hands
of one of the villains and SO vicious
was his attack that they soon both

PATRIOTIC SERVICES
Major Lacey Eulogizes Lincoln a
The Mems Meeting.

Sunday was set apart by the Young
Mems Christian Association for pa
triotic services in view of the fact
that in this month of February are
commemorated the birthdays of two
of the greatest men known in Ameri'
can history, Washington and Lincoln
At the Mems meeting in the afternoon
Hon. John F. Lacey delivered an elo
quent address on Lincoln" Nc
speaker could have presented as many
new thoughts on such an old topic
and yet, as Mr.. Lacey expressed 1t
he could not much more than mention
Lincoln's remarkable life in hours OF
discourses on the subject. Mr.. Lacey
believed that was truly a wonderful
thing that February. the shortest
month in the whole year, should have
given birth to the two men who above
all others have influenced the mould
ing of our country's history, the one
being the founder of the union and
the other its restorer. He declared
that the heart that was born in Abra
ham Lincoln ninety.nine years age
next Wednesday, was the kindest and
most genial that ever beat beneath
the breast of man, and that over his
death the South mourned as well as
the North, for in him they realized
was the one man to whom they could
look for charity and kindness. He
was forced to labor under the great
est hardships and like Noses Of old
who was permitted only to, see the
promised land" he was allowed tc
see the surrender of Lee and the enc
of the long and horrible war, but was
denied the privilege of enjoying the
fruits of peace. Major Lacey was
was given the closest of attention and
his address was an unusual treat to
the large audience assembled.

"Mr. and Mrs. Rosser Davis:--It is
a source OF much regret to me that I
am not able to personally give you
my congratulations on this occasion,
SO must try to express my pleasure
in writing. Think of the satisfaction
Of having lived together as man and
wife for fifty years-a half century
in these degenerate days It seems
to me that there should be public
as well as family celebration when
a couple have chung together through
prosperity and trouble, through all
that comes into the lives OF those who
have lived to see the sum of human
existence nearing the western hori.
zon. And we pray that when the
darkness of mortal death shall come
to each OF you that God will grant
that you may pass over the river to-
gether. Or, IL it seems best that there
be a separation. that it may be very
short.

AN EXCITING RIDE u
IN RUNAWAY CAR
FOUR PEOPLE HURT BY JUMP
ING TO FROZEN GROUND.
BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND.
,lnterurban Coach Dashed Down Grade
On Beacon Line For Nearly q
Mile But Stuck To Track
All the Way.

A most exciting and somewhat dis
astrous accident occurred on the Os-
kaloosa & Buxton Interurban at the
Beacon terminal Friday evening. In
which four people were injured more
or less. The few passengers on board
the seven o'clock car we're allowed
to realize all the sensations of the
"loop-the-loop" and the wonderful
scenic railway" together with the
excitement of being dashed through
space, around curves. up hill and
down, for distance OF nearly a mile
with the consciousness that the car
was running wild" and was abso-
lutely uncomfortable. Where the end
would be no one knew, nor did they
stop to consider what consequences
might result from such trip, but all
rushed to the doors and as the big
car miraculously followed the track
around the last curve on the principal
street of Beacon while going like "a
shot out of a gun" they one by one
jumped to the ground and received
bruises in proportion to their dexter
| ity Motorman Chas. Walker and
Conductor Ralph Cantril stayed with
their car until they saw that dis
aster was almost inevitable, when
they jumped just in time to see the
big car cover the rough frozen ground
beyond the end of the track for dis
ltance of two hundred feet, shooting
past the Rock Island depot within
about four feet of the building and
missing fine monument, which was
standing on the platform, by about
six inches. until its momentum was
exhausted as it stopped with one end
lover the Rock Island tracks.
Those who received injuries in the
Iaccident were Miss Kate Evans. Miss
Flora Darlington. Miss Rose Lyle
and Mr.. Ward, all of Beacon. Miss
Darlington was the most unfortunate
in being hurled against post wrench
ing her back and giving her numerous
bruises, which were quite painful bu
mot serious. The others were onll
badly bruised and all were cared 70
Immediately by DR.. Ruan, whose ofiic'
was conveniently near.
The accident, which only throug
good luck failea to result seriousl'
was caused by the failure Of both n
hand and air brakes TO RESPOND prop
erly The car was the big interurban
car, the only one in the service sup
piled with air brakes. 1t had been
running smoothly until it reached the
lgrade just past the Elm Grove park,
when Motorman Walker tried in vain
to slow up for the down grade which
lextends for three-fourths of mile to
the town of Beacon. The brakes both
refused to work and he shut on the
power and left the car in the hands
of fate. Nothing could be done to
check its increasing speed ana it had
gained a terrible momentum by the
time 1t reached the last curves. How
1t was possible for it to remain on the
track while going at such speed is
nothing short OF miraculous.
The car itself stopped without hav'
ing received a scratch or breaking a
bolt.

BUSINESS INCREASING
Larger Quarters Necessary For
Evans Produce Co.

George NJ Evans, Oskaloosa's poul.
try and produce handler, says that he
is accomplishing the impossible in
being both ahead and behind the
times. Mr. Evans is ahead Of the
times in the fact that he has recent
ly made a business change taking
into partnership the Iowa Produce
Co., of Ottumwa, with branch al
Pennington and at other places, and
thereby greatly enlarging his bust
ness. New and larger quarters have
been rented as the present location,
the old Greenough place on High
avenue east, is entirely inadequate to
meet the requirements of the business
which is increasing very rapidly. The
new firm will be called The George
M. Evans, Produce Company" Mr..
Evans says that he is behind the times
because he has secured the location
vacated by that paper ever since he
has been In business. He came to his
present location short time after the
Times moved to the Klingman place,
basement and first floor, which has
recently been vacated by the Times
Publishing Company. The company
will remove to the new home within
a few days. They will have space
forty by sixty feet on two floors which
| will enable them to accommodate the
incI case Of business. Last spring Mr..
Evans handled no less than $40, 700. 0O
| worth of eggs within the period OF
ninety days and this season the bust
| ness will be far in excess of that fig
ure. Conditions had to be met and
hence the new quarters. Last season
the house employed five workers but
greater number will be necessary
this season. The Ottumwa branch OF
the business has ten men now en-
ployed.
With the new location and the i'm
provements that will be made, the
| house will become one of the largest
and best known in the state and the
business handled will be something
of which Oskaloosa may be proud
Few people of the city perhaps have
know of the extent of the business as
it has existed. Shipments have been
Received from points on the Iowa Cen
trail and the Rock Island more than
sixty miles distant. With the ad

the business the landings of pro
