EVERYTHING WAS 0. K.
Owners Had Right to Wagon Load
of Meat.

Police officers were warned from
New Sharon Friday night of a couple
of parties driving wagon in which
was packed great quantity of smok-
led meat. The informant stated that
the parties were acting in a suspi
|cious manner and had been trying to
dispose of the meat at that place. The
|officers found the wagon put up at the
Bashaw livery barn. 1t contained a
lcouple of hundred dollars worth of
meats, all bearing the stamp of gov
eminent inspector. The officers
thought the circumstance worthy of
Investigation and caused the arrest of
several parties before they found the
owners. A trio of young men from
Barnes City stopping at the Hotel Ar.
mold were suspected of owning the
outfit. They were taken from the
Palace Theatre" to the mayors office,
but proved themselves innocent The
owner of the goods appeared at the
mayors office this morning, proved
his right to the property and applied
for permit to sell the meat in town

HOLINESS UNIVERSITY
Residence and Religion Of the 374

1t may be Oh interest to readers to
know something of the territory
from which the Central Holiness
University draws It's students, also
from what denominations. Below will
be found list of states and foreign
countries with the number of students
from each, also the denominations so
far as could be determined from en-.
rollment blanks. There are some in.
accuracies in the UNCONVENTIONAL sta.
tistics arising out of the fact that
some of our students in filing out
their entrance blanks failed to an
swer the question or give an ambig
uous answer. 1t should be remarked
also, that the number of students
from Iowa is larger than 1T would be
if we should consider the states from
which families have come who havt
moved here, making this a permanent
residence for the education of the fam
| lily. These, of course. are given under
Iowa, but came from various states
such as Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois
Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota
Colorado, Missouri and possibl!
other states. "a

JOBS FOR YOUNG lOWANs
FIFTY OF THEM WILL BE ABLE
TO GET cLERkSHIPS.
Positions Pay From Six Hundred to
Thousand Dollars a Year
If They Pass.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 16-More
than half a hundred young men an6
women of Iowa will be able to gel
clerkships in the United States census
office here if they can get the recon
mendation of their congressman OF
senator and pass noncompetitive ex
animation of scholastic ability. These
positions will pay only from $500 tc
$1,000 a year and last one or two
years, but they will get an opportunity
to enjoy Washington life, which is an
education in itself, or the government
clerk may attend evening classes OF
the universities here and thus have
Uncle Sam help pay for his college OF
professional course. The temporary
force of $500 clerks for the census will
be organized in 1910 and not many
will be employed until then.
The Examination.
|, The examinations for these posi-
tons will be conducted by the civil
service commission, but appointment
will not be based on rank in passing
as in other departments of the gov.
eminent. The director of the census
is authorized to prescribe the exam
ination requirements, which any High
school boy or girl ought to be able to
meet, In fact, the average school boy
or girl of II can fill any of the ordin-
airy clerkships in Washington with
credit.
q 5000 Jobs In All.
In addition to the $500 jobs that the
census bill will create, the appropria-
ton bill for the legislative, exc cutive
and judicial departments which was
reported in the house this week, adds
159 more positions to the pay roll, and
Iowa is entitled to some of these,
although most of them are under the
civil service. .rs
The Hawkeye state is, in fact, be-
hind many other states in number of
government employees in Washington.
Ohioans long have had an abundance
of federal jobs. President Mckinley
and Mark Hanna having taken excel.
lent care of the office-seekers from
their state, and the Buckeyes are in
high glee again with the return of an
other ohioan to the presidency
Secretary Wilson is said to have a
little more than the regulation quota
of Iowans in his department, but
Leslie M. Shaw when he was secre.
tary of the treasury, did not take ad-
vantage of his position to reward
many Iowans. The diplomatic and
consular service is notably short of
Iowa representatives.

BASE BALL.
A NEW IOWA LEAGUE.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Indications
point to revival of the old circuit
which is now the Central association
as the original state organization of
Iowa under the title of The Old Iowa
League" and make bid Tor recogni-
ton under that name Immediately
with possibly eight clubs, but more
probably six. No definite announce.
ment of plans has been made as yet,
but reliable information has Deen re-
ceiyed thaI t. plans are afoot and
well under way toward consumma-
ton of this project. There are now
four cities-Oskaloosa Marshantown,
FIT. Dodge and Boone-that were in
the original league that could still be
made live towns for organized ball,
and to these will be added, If plans
materialize, Clinton, Muscatine, f.
Madison and Iowa City, to make an
eight-club circuit; Clinton and Musca-
tine if it is thought advisable to start
the first year with but six,
A six-club league is an easy one to
finance, and the circuit proposed
would be compact one, strengthen
ed by the good record of the original
Iowa state league, whose prestige it
would inherit to a great extent.
Central Grows Big.
The Central association has al
ready grown to be quite another insti-
tuition. The proposed league would
lnr In.
Cedar Rapids and Ottumwa, and event
ually become one of the best minor
leagues in the country, with an ideal
ly compact circuit, and all within the
state of Iowa, thus making it possible
for those who wish to revert, for SEN
timent's sake, to the old beloved name
and associations, which have so often
been brought up at league meetings
of the Central association.
1t. is a known fact that neither Os-
kaloosa nor Marshalltown desired to
lose their respective berths in the
Central association, and interest could
easily be revived through this fact to
make the game pay in both places
and it is also fact that Boone and
Fort Dodge have rested" long enough
and now once more are ripe for organ
lied ball.
Clinton Wild for Game.
Clinton is almost rabid over the
loss of its franchise and would prove
the mainstay of the proposed organ
ization, with Muscatine a great help
as plans are already under way there
for a high class team next year, and
the city has always wanted, but never
had organized ball. Iowa City and
Fort Madison are unknown quantities,
but would very likely make good for
at least the first ear, after which 1t
is. a practical certainty that Waterloo,
Cedar Rapids and Ottumwa would cast
their lot with Clinton as a compact
northern end of the Iowa league cir
cult with four other towns to make
the league a first-class one.
