WITH THE BIG FLEET co TO CAMP BY BOAT
Treat In Store For Company F, Of
0skaloosa.

Second Lieutenant Arden Mccoy,
who attended the officers school at
Muscatine, declares himself to be very
well satisfied with the work done
there. One of the important matters
to come before the meeting was the
program for the coming summer. II
has been practically decided that the
regiment will not be sent to the big
maneuvers at Fort Riley, and it Is
known that thele would be no mimic
warfare in the vicinity of Des Moines,
and no practice hike. The regiment
was to go back to the old-fashioned
encampment, which has ever proven
satisfactory, and while the boys got a
great deal of good out of these en-
campments, It was not all wsrk and
no play, either. Fhe question was
gone over pretty thoroughly at Musca-
tine, and finally the conclusion was
reached that the regiment is to 20
into camp az Davenport, probably dnr
lng the last week In August. The
majorities of the companies viii meet
at burlington and make the trip by
BOAT, other companies being picked up
at MIscatine. surely that promises
% be n very enjoyable trip ana ri.e
7oung soldiers VIM be looking forward
20 rhat ride on the pig river. and ever
arterward that river "trip will be treas.
ured as one OF rleir fondest memories.

MUST STOP PRACTICE.
No More Stock Can be Killed In
Town Says Council.

The city council at a regular meet
ing Monday evening ordered the
abatement of a nuisance that has re-
suited from the killing and butcher.
ing of stock at the rear of the meat
market in the opera house building.
The foul odors resultant have been
very offensive in the opera house at
times, and patrons have repeatedly
complained to the management of the
house. %| a.
The question called forth much dis.
cussion and the fact was developed
that other nuisances were also being
committed in and about the city and
that in certain cases dealers were
making slaughter pens of their back
yards. In one. Instance, so the state
ment was made, hundreds OF pounds
of refuse and waste have been piled
together awaiting warm weather
when flies and decay may do their
work.
The council took the stand that
such abuse of privilege could not be
tolerated in Oskaloosa AMI that the
practice must be stopped at once.
Other Public Affairs.
A few claims for labor were allow
ed at the meeting.
Miss Mamie Bingaman presented g
tax matter for her sister, Miss w. A
Bennett, and the taxes of Mrs. Pat
Smith Warn olSn comedian
The council spent few minutes
with ordinance work and then passed
to the topic Of tree trimming. Mayor
Ralston on motion was instructed to
make investigation into the subject
and to report back to the council.

FERRETS DISPUTE
TAX EXEMPTIONS
WOODBURY. COUNTY TO COLLECT
FROM INDUSTRIES.
The Action Of Sioux City Authorities
in Exempting Big Packing Estab-
llshment is Said to be
Illegal.

Sioux City Ia, Feb 1S.-Woodbury
county tax ferrets are after the Cud-
ahy Packing Co and Armour & Co.
for the purpose of compelling them TO
pay taxes from which they were ex.
empted by common consent of the
business men of Sioux City and the
city council.
The board of supervisors has pass
ed resolution empowering Judge Ben
Mccoy, of Oskaloosa, and ID. b.
Shontz. of Correctionyille, the ferrets,
to bring suit against the Sioux City
Stock Yards company, the Farmers
Loan and Trust company, Edwin Il.
Dewey and other interpretations and
individuals who have failed to pay
taxes on their personal property.
Ten years ago the city council eX-
empted the Cudahy Packing company
from payment of taxes on their pack
ing house property. During these
years the company has paid taxes on
a nominal valuation of $4,000 or
$4,000, whereas if the law was strict
ly enforced it, would probably be as.
sessed for something like $750,000.
The agreement between the council
and the Cudahy Packing company
has expired. The agreement between
the council and Armour & Co. will run
three years more. 1t is said to be
the intention of Ine ferrets to make
the packing companies pay up all the
taxes that would have been assessed
against them despite the exemption
agreement. Woodbury. county law
yers agree that the exemption of the
city council was illegal.

THE MILLS OF JUSTICE
Troubles of People Sifted Through
Court Eoppers

1.-Two Hollanders named Tunis and
Albert Hooyer residing northwest OF
tho city engaged in watch trading
deal of some sort with one Bert Pick
EFT. In the course of a disagreement
that arose. Howard Burton, and the
Hooyers met with pretty severe usage
about the face. All of the participants
were taken before Squire Woodfuff.
The Hooyers were dismissed for, III
the mind of the court, they had SUI
f2red punishment enough. The watch
disappeared even while it was in the
justice ONCE nor could it be found
after diligent search among all con-
cerned. Burton was fined five dollars
and costs and Pickett took change
of venue for his case to Squire
Bacon's court.
The case against Lizzie Turner who
was arrested on complaint of having
a cooking main at her house on Sec
ond avenue west about three weeks
ago was dismissed by Squire Wood
ruff Monday afternoon and the de-
PENDANT discharged. The squire held
that the evidence in the case was in
sufficient. The defendant demanded
Jury trial. which would in the ma
ture of the case been allowed. The
defense advanced was of a nature
that with the corroboration of parties
present, could not have been contro-
verted by the state and hence the
justice thought after due investiga-
ton that the case should be dismiss
ed It. is said that the evidence OF a
cock fight was the head of chicken
found lying in bucket. The defend
ant stated that she had killed a
chicken, intending to cook the same
for dinner Parties coming to the
house reported the bloody head to
the police, together with a statement
