TO RAISE CHICKENS.
Two Different Men Decide to En-
gage in the Business.

Oskaloosa is to become the location
of one of the finest henneries in the
state. N. l.. Towle, who resides on
North Third street, has rented the
building formerly occupied by the
Green Candy Co.'S factory, and he
will convert the place into large
hen house. Carpenters are now at
work remodeling the building.
Mr.. Towle has purchased some of
the finest thoroughbred poultry ever
brought to the city and will conduct
the poultry business in addition to his
work as travelling salesman for the
Quaker Candy Co. He has purchased
eggs as high as eight dollars setting
from some OF the finest exhibition
stock in the country.
AS soon as the factory building is
converted into a chicken house, he
will have long run pens" outside of
the building. The location of the
building makes an excellent spot far
the raising of poultry on account of
its accessibility, it's fine natural ad.
yantages, and the shade provided.
Fritz Higlin has also decided to en-
gage in the chicken business and has
rented the Hawkins property just
west of the Oskaloosa college. He
plans on raising about one thousand
chickens for the market, besides
ducks and geese. He has secured a
good location for the ranch, which
gives his stock the run Of the large
grove and fields west of the college.

A PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM.
Sixth District Helps keokuk County
Select a Candidate. s

Sigourney, Ia, April 1.-THE Sixth
District Progressive Republican COM
mittee met at Sigourney, Iowa, Friday
afternoon for the purpose of deciding
upon a candidate for district elector
and representative from this county.
All the counties in the district
were supposed to be represented, and
the leading progressives of this coun.
ty were invited to meet with them.
We do not know just why the district
should send delegates here to help us
select our candidates for the legisla.
ture, but owing to the fact that we
have sent democrat to the legisla.
ture at the last two elections, perhaps
they thought we were not capable of
selecting a winning candidate.
The committee decided upon the
name of Ed Beman, of Delta, as the
progressive candidate for representa-.
tive. Ex-Judge Scott is the candidate
for elector.

CASE is SETTLED.
Has Been in the Courts for Nearly
Ten Years.

What Cheer Patriot A lawsuit of
some local interest has just been de.
cided by Judge Clements. at Oska'
loosa. In 1899 w. ]. Reed obtained a
Judgment upon note, the considera-
ton of which was a grocers' bill.
against L. NJ. Coulson and wife. In
1902 Mrs. Vail, the mother of Mrs.
Coulson, died. leaving her real estate
to her children, with the provision
that the land Ne sold and the pro-
ceeds of the sale be equally divided
among her children. In the same
year, Mr. Reed caused an execution
to issue and sold Mrs. Coulson's inter.
est in the land at Sheriff's sale, bid
ding in the property himself. A deed
was made by the Sheriff in 1908, and
soon after Mrs. Coulson died. In
1907 the executors of Mrs. Vail
brought a suit in the Keokuk county
court for the cancellation of the sher-
IFS deed, basing their contention up
on the technical legal doctrine Of
equitable conversion This conten-
ton was sustained by Judge preston
and the sheriff's deed was cancelled.
Mr.. Reed at once brought an action
to subject the assets of the estate to
the lien of his judgment. The court

A BIG COURT DOCKET.
Probably Largest One in history
Of Mahaska County.

The court docket for the April term
of the district court is Just of the
press and copies have been distrib-
uted among the court officials and
members of the county bar. The
make up of the pamphlet is the same
as usual but this issue is a memorable
one in the minds of the attorneys, II
being the first docket in which the
name of the late Hon. i. C. Blanchard
was omitted from the list of Mahaska
county attorneys. His name has been
at the head of the alphabetical list as
far back as most of the lawyers can
remember and it's absence is conspicu-
GUS. The docket this term is proba-
bly, the largest one ever compiled for
the Mahaska county court, which
statement may seem inconsistent
with the one made regarding the dock
it was the slimmest 1t has been for
thirty years. This can be accounted
for, however, by the order which was
made by Judge Willcockson last jan
uary which resulted in all the old es-
tate causes, in which a report or in
ventory has not been filed as required
by law, being placed back on the
docket, some of which have been
omitted for five or ten years. Conse-
quently the probate causes this term
number PSI, while there were only Sc
in February. Many new law actions
have been filed and the civil calendar
contains 15- cases.. as against 146 last
term. There were 26 criminal cases
and garnishments, making a total of
431,-more than twice as many as in
February, when there were but POS.
Before the February term closed
there were nearly IT'S civil actions on
the docket and of this number but 81
remain, showing the amount of civil
business which was disposed of dur
ing that term. Judge Willcockson
will convene court here on April ID,
with J. F. Bray as reporter.

HORSE ELECTROCUTED
Ran on the End of Broken Live
Trolly Wire.

Charles E. Natter, of 645 North C
street, was the loser of a valuable
driving horse last evening in a pecul-
lar manner. The horse was electro
cuted by a broken trolley wire on
North B street, near C avenue west
Mr.. Natter, with his wife and son
Dwight, were driving north on B
street about nine o'clock in the even.
ing. 1t was quite dark in the vicinity
and they could not see the broken
trolley wire lying on the ground, and
all in an instant their horse fell over
dead. The occupants of the buggy
jumped out and ran to the sidewalk,
the wire fortunately not being in their
way.
The wire was broken by No. 2 car
going north, in charge of Motorman
Fox and Conductor Francis. One of
the car men had gone into house
near by to notify the street car com
pany, while the other man stayed on
the car. There were no lights around
the car and hence Mr.. Natter did not
see either the wire or the car.
The horse was valuable animal
and Mr.. Natter says he had refused
1926 for him a few days ago. The
occupants of the vehicle were badly
but aside from the killing
of the horse no damage resulted.

.OSKALOOSA GETS
GROWING FACTORY
THE HOME OF "sHlNuM' Is RE.
MOVED TO THIS CITY.
FOURTEEN PEOPLE EMPLOYED.
The Product is a Shoe Polishing Nov
city and is Already in Great
Demand All Over the
Country

, In the past week 0skaloosa has be-
come the home of a prosperous little
factory that will soon be counted as
as one OF the large manufacturing in
dustries of the Quaker city. Only a
few people in the city are aware of
the fact that new concern las come
to make Oskaloosa it's permanent
home. The new factory is that of
the Shinum Combination Co., manu-
facturers of the "Shinum," a shoe
polishing novelty.
The company was removed from
Keosauqua this week to this city and
has taken up temporary quarters at
the Iowa Manufacturing Co., but as
soon as suitable building is secured
the plant will De removed to larger
quarters.
Three Oskaloosa men are interest
ed in the enterprise, Mr.. Wilbur
Jones, the patentee, Geo. e. Rowe,
and Frank E. Baker. The entire out
fit has been removed to this city and
the force of employees will follow
soon. w. M. Black, the box maker,
accompanied the machinery TO the
city and is already hard at work max
ing the combinations" winch are in
great demand.
The Oskaloosa Commercial Club
tried to secure the factory several
months ago, but on account of one
of the stockholders being a resident
of Keosauqua, and the Keosauqua
business men offering a fine building
for the use of the factory free of
charge, 1t was removed to the south
ern city and has been the busiest fac.
tory there. On account of having no
day power to run the saws and Dor
ing machines, this part of the work
had to be done at night, which made
1t very inconvenient and caused the
company to get behind in orders.
The owners finally decided to re-
move the factory to 0skaloosa. For
the present a part of the factory will
be located in the Baker barn just
north of the Iowa Manufacturing Co.
plant. The building has been re-
modelled and will do as temporary
home The saw and boring machines
have been set upE in the machine
shop. The capacity for the present
will be about ten gross day, but as
soon as possible the output will be
doubled or trebled. Several Of the
girls who were employed in the plant
at Keosauqua Will come to the city
Fourteen people we're employed at
the Keosauqua factory, but the force
will be increased here
The product vi the factory is novel
and useful. 1t is called the "Shinum
Combination" and consists of a small
box about four incnes long, an inch
thick, filled with a box of shoe pol.
ish and dauber. A brush attaches on
the outside OF the box. The article to
be made here will be an improvement
over the kind manufactured at Keo'
sauqua, and is bound to increase the
demand. The Combinations" are be,
ing sold all over the country and the
factory is now far behind in their
orders. The pay roll amounts to
from $3.50 to $500 a month, and this
will increase from time to time.
