SOMETHING FOR ALL.
Summer viii DO Filled With At
fractions for Oskaloosa.

Saturday Globe: This is Oskaloosa's
busy summer. After the formal and
hilarious opening of the base ball
season, followed by numerous Country
Club tournaments and the proper in.
|stalling Of the gaiety functions at
Mace Hagan's Glenwood Park, there
will follow the biggest eagle scream
ing July Fourth celebration in the
memory of the oldest inhabitants.
The National Holiness Association
lconyenes at their splendid and at
ltractive grounds southwest Of the city
late in May and continue in session
for ten days.
About July 9Th the base ball man.
lagement gives a solid weeks street
fair tournament at the grounds that
lcomprehends a paid list of attractions
as long as the flag pole and sundry
free entertainments, including real
live elephant that eats peanuts and
takes the children ride.
The middle of August will see the
most expensive, instructive, and en-
pertaining Chautauqua program In the
history Of the Oskaloosa organization,
or in fact of like organizations in this
part of the state. A full ten days will
be crowded, night and day, with the
good things that the Chautauqua pro
gram has to offer.
With the closing OF August comes
the Quaker Yearly Meeting, and the
large delegations representing that
church from over this and some adj
joining states. g,
Scarcely will the followers of Fox
have time to get out of town till the
delegates will begin to arrive, called
here by the meeting of the knights of
Pythias Grand Lodge and the Grand
Temple Pythian Sisters. All told on
account of this event there will be
1000 to 1900 strangers in town for the
better part of a week.
About the 9th of September
leaving scarcely time for the street
sweeper to get IN its work--the
Croker Brigade reunion will bring
400 or 500 people here for a couple of
days.
1t is always safe to assume that
shortly after harvest a great big three
ring circus will drop in from some
where, which always counts as star
summer time attraction, and this
year we are assured of two big ones.
Now with the foregoing few minor
events already in sight, If you contem.

usually have to do, walk-and HE

Skunk or to the raging and romantic

summer shade-and, incidentally, a
few mosquitoes.

California Tourist Cars.

The idea that an inferior class of
people patronize the tourist sleepers is
an error On many trips only the best
class of travellers are found. They
are merely men and women OF good
sense, who would rather travel to
California in this manner and save a
snug sum of money. 1t is beginning
to be understood that it is by no
means necessary for the traveller to
spend large sum of money in order
to enjoy trip to the Pacific Coast.
II you cross the continent in one OF
the torist sleepers of the Union Pa
cific you will enjoy your trip and save
considerable money. Inquire OF ]. ~.

APPEALED TO COURTS
Test Case Brought Before The
Mayor This Morning.

The hearing of the dairymen arrest
ed last week upon charge of having
violated the new milk ordinance OF
the city was called this morning at
nine o'clock before Mayor G. H. Raj.
ston. The dairymen arrested on war
rants were ]. Il. Eleener and son Evan,
e. E. McMurray, A. E. Peasley, Delos
Dean, B. w. Jefferies and Caleb M.
Borgess.. On agreement with the city
officials to make test case of the
ordinance single case was tried that
of J. e. Fleener and son Evan. They
entered plea OF not guilty. After
hearing the evidence the mayor i'm.
posed fine of $25 and costs against
the men. They take an appeal to the
district court where the matter will be
considered in detail. Bond of $50 was
furnished on appeal.
The charge against the dairymen is
that of selling milk in the city without
license. To obtain license a dairy
man must submit his cattle to the
tuberculine test required by the ordi-
nance and show them to be free OF
disease as indicated by test.
The men arrested failed to have their
animals tested nor did they apply for
license to sell milk.
The case is the outcome of differ
ence Of opinion existing between the
city council and the dairymen concern.
ing the prevalence of disease in milk
The dairymen hold that to treat cows
with tuberculine is as injurious to the
customers of milk from the COWS thus
treated and is damaging to the stock
They refuse to comply with the ordin
ance. The new law became effective
with the publication of the revision Of
the city ordinances and was operative
May l. Many of the people selling
milk about the city have complied
with the ordinance but the dairymer
formed an organization to oppose i
and to fight 1t in the courts.

Humboldt, Ia, May 11.--When L. l..
Sample, of Moodbine, Ia, got religion
half dozen years ago, he promised
himself and God that he would pay
his old debts, amounting to many hun
dreds of dollars. Saturday Humboldt
witnessed the unique spectacle OF a
man keeping such promise, and
hunting up creditors who had forgotten
that they had claims against him. Mr.
Sample made his headquarters at one
of the local banks, and he was there
with the cash for every claim that
was presented and property vouched
for, no matter how old 1t was or
whether 1t was any longer legal or not

Samples Great 25-cent One Ring
Circus" they called it. They put every
cent that they themselves had and all
they could borrow into the enterprise,
but they knew much more about a lot
Of other things than they did about
the circus business, and they soon
went broke" They didn't save a
thing from the wreck. On the con-

l.. l.. Sample turned his attention
to other things and ten years ago was
the star circulation solicitor for a
Council Bluffs daily newspaper. He
was whirlwind, full Of energy and
perseverance, and he set a pace in
getting business that few others could
follow. Later he turned his atten-
ton to fire insurance for a Des Moines
company, and he almost invariably
carries OFF the honors from month to
month for new business secured.
This man got religion just six years
ago. He got 1t thoroughly and he. en-

God called on him to square up those
old accounts, so he promised II God
would help him. He worked hard, he
prospered, he made fortunate invest
ments, and Saturday he came to Hum

put himself right with the world.

AN OLD NEGRO ROBBED

George Anderson is the name of an
old negro who chops wood for his
living. He has passed his uinetieth
year, but still manages to- use his axe
and saw deity enough TO keep him
self from the poor farm. He had
husbanded twenty-five dollars Of his
meager earnings for the rainy day"
the day when he would become so en-
teebled with age that he could 90 no
longer. Some misCreant. discovering
that be had the money concealed i'm
his humble dwelling, sought an op-
portunity and entered the house and
stole the money. The old man saws
that he had some money i'm one of the
Ocala banks at the time of its failure.
He is to be greatly pitied.

SUNDAY IN OCALA

The weather was as nearly like
spring as it is possible for winter
weather to be, and in consequence Of
which services at the churches We're
largely attended. and the sermons de
liyered We're most excellent ones.
This leads las to say that Ocala is
fortunate IN her preachers. They rank
high and it IS very rare that a town
no larger than ours has such a strong
pulpit.
Tn Nhe afternoon a great many Of
our people. of all ages and colors.
went out to view the wreck at the Sill
Yer Springs junction. The fearful
ness of the collision must be seen TO
be appreciated.
The two trains must have been go
Ing at very rapid rate Of speed. and
the impact was so great when the col
EsiOn occurred that the two engines
plowed into each other with the force
OF a mighty prOjectile fired from
some of our heaviest guns. 1t was i'm
possible 10 separate the two engines
with the aid OF two strong cables and
TWO locomotives pulling in opposite
directions.
Iwenty-four hours had passed. be-
fore the last body was recovered. so
II Is fortunate that those who were
killed and buried under the debris met
their deaths instantly.
II was the most awful wreck that
has ever occurred in this section.
