NEW PLACEFOR REESE
Will Become Asst Supt. Of The
Mines At Buxton.

A change in management in the
Consolidation Coal Companys mines
at Buxton is rumored. 1t is reported
that Ben Buxton is to retire from ac-
tive participation in the manage
ment of the property as soon as til }
new wage agreement and contract
for the next term of years is complet-
ed between the mine workers OF the
Iowa district and the operators.
Following the date of tic new
agreement, it is said, that John p.
Reese, who Las benu Sc wing tie
operators IS srlC al agent during the
past several ytrrs, will he placed ut
the mines with the title OF assistart
superintendent, and upDn him will
devolye the active management OF
the property. The position, so 1t is
said, was offered to Mr.. Reese some
time ago and he has accepted the
terms of the contract under which he
makes the change. The Iowa opera
tors have been notified that the gen
tleman is to leave them in the near
future and they are at loss to find
man to fi.l his place.
Mr. Reese is a popular and practi-
cal man. He was favorite among
the mine workers of the state before
he accepted an offer from the opera
tors. His relations in his Office were
such as to command the highest re.
gard of both the operators and the
mine workers. Inc gentleman is
fully capable of managing a property
of the magnitude of the Buxton inter
ests and he will be fully equal to the
occasion.
Mr.. Buxton, who has been in the
management of the property since
the retirement of his father, j, f.
Buxton, toward the end of the Much
akinock operation, will, it is under
stood, retain his interests in the prop
erty and will continue his residence
at the place. He retains the title OF
superintendent, but much of the de
tail work of the management will be
cared for by Mr.. Reece. 80. ,.

Chicago, March Is.
CATTLE-The cattle market clos.
ed up in good shape last week and
prices will show a still further ad.
vance over the week previous of about
10c@15c per cwt. We are very glad
to note this nice advance in prices
during the past few weeks and we be-
lieve the tendency of the cattle mar
ket is still upwards Today with es-
'timated receipts of $4,000 there seems
to be good feeling in the trade and
bulk, of the offerings were bought up
around steady prices. While we ex-
pect a fair run the balance of the
week. we look for at least steady
market. 1t will pay them wen to
make their cattle good before sending
to market, as we look for very high
cattle market little later on.
HOGS-The hog market held up
very good last week and also showed
an advance of 10c@20c over the week
previous. We believe the same reas-
oning will apply to the hogs as to the
cattle, and we believe il any one is in
position to hold hogs, they will be get.
ting more money for them little lat
er on. Receipts today were estimated
at $4,000. Market ruled about steady.
We look for liberal run balance of
the week. However, we would not be
surprised to see very good market.
SHEEP-Shecp and lambs have TAX,
EN- decided turn for the better dur.
ing the past week and top lambs sold
as high as $40 on last week, with
ewes over the &C market and wethers
around $685.. We believe we have
seen the low point of the sheep and
lamb market for some time. e

And lambastes the filching crew.

There seems to be difference IN
wives. Some men admit to their best
friends that II they we're to become
widowers they would never marry
again! OF course they love their
wife and all that-but then, oh, well,
you know! And there's the other
crowd of men. They insist that mar.
rage is the only real thing that ever
happened and bemoan the fact that
they didn't get married earlier. One
who remained single until he was 40
now has a son and he says IL the
young duffer doesn't get married when
he is 81 he will cut him of without a
penny! But suppose the young man
should get one of the other sort of
wives! That would help him to re-

The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1908-03-19
"Horseradish!"

I've watched for him month, I know.
It's time he wandered to and fro.
Hast seen the lad upon his way,
Or heard him vending-have you, pray?
He comes, his face all wreathed in Joy,
A patched and freckled country boy:
"Horseradish!"

sadly need some clothes this spring
And as for wraps, I've not one thing!
Ny husband is a BRUTE you know
A lot of tears will melt him though!
Oh, have you seen thu face of JOY
Belonging to that country boy?
