BIG THINGS IN SIGHT
Chicago Parties Have 0ptioned the
Mckinley Farm.

One of the liveliest and likeliest
propositions Oskaloosa has entertain
ed In years was made known this NOR
ming through the optioning of the Nc
Kinkey farm, southeast of Oskaloosa.
by G. A. Gesman, of Des Moines. II
Is understood that Des Moines and Chi
cago parties are interested in the plan
to secure the property, sub-divide 1t
and plot it, secure an extension or the
street railway to the place and give
Railway facilities would also be Sc
cured on account of the proximity
OF both the Burlington and the Iowa
Central lines.
The property now accommodates the
home of the "Oskaloosa Country Club"
with club house, golf inks and tennis
courts. Three other separate enter
prises are to be considered for loca
ton on the property, any one OF which
will induce the Oskaloosa Traction x
Light company to make the eXten
sion of three fourths of mile of track
to the addition. Th= enterprises are
as follows: The Country club, the To-
cation of the new ChautauQua grounds
or the building of city park and
amusement grounds. The land con-
tains ample room, the natural advant-
ages are unsurpassed and the location
Is ideal. Enough of the property
would be sold in small parcels to give
the place a population that would
make a desirable addition, and the
street car line would give perfect CON-
munication with the city.
The plans have been taken up with
Mr.. Garner, superintendent of The
Traction 4 Light company. The Os
kaloosa Country C ub desires to retain
its home on the place and would prob.
ably remain fixture. This leaves on
ly one of three other possibilities to be
considered, the Oskaloosa Chautauqua,
a public park with the usual attract
ions for summer and winter sports. or
the location of fair grounds or driv
ing park, which 1t is understood is
ripe for reorganization and relocation.

HARTMAN 5 WORK
FALLS ON LOVETT
Texan Elected to Head Great
Railway System.
STANDARD OIL GETS HOLD
William Rockefeller and Jacob n.
Schiff Are Chosen Directors--Lov-
EFT Started Work at $40 a
4 TF Month.

New York, Sept. 14.-Former Judge
Robert 8. Lovett, the closest of the
late E. H. Harriman's business asso-
ciates, was elected to fill the place of
the great railroad man in the direc-
torate Of the Union Pacific railroad.
He was elected chairman of the execu-
tive committee by the directors.
At the same time 1t was announced
that the Hartman policies would be
continued in the management Of the
Union Pacific, but the Standard Oil
interests succeeded In getting firm
er grasp on the Hartman system.
Rockefeller and Schiff Elected.
William Rockefeller and Jacob H.
Schiff were elected directors to fill
the places of Hartman and the late
H. H. Rogers and both were also elect
ed to the executive committee. The
election of Mr.. Schiff increased the
membership of the executive commit
tee from five to six men. The choice
of one of the heads Of the banking
firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. was consid-
cred both as an aid to Standard Oil
and as added Indication of the continu-
ance of the Hartman policies.
A meeting of the directors of the
Southern Pacific railroad will be held
to-day and 1t is expected that Judge
Lovett will also be elected to the
craftsmanship of its executive commit
tee. 1t is also thought probable that
Jacob H. Schiff, or some other men,
Der of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., will be elect
ed a director to fill the vacancy caused
by Mr.. Harriman's death.
,. Began at $40 Month.
Judge Lovett, who, in view of his
offices, becomes for the moment one
of the most prominent railroad men in
the public eye, came to New York city
in 1906. Born in Texas, 40 years ago,
he entered the railroad business while
a boy as a $40 a month freight clerk
for, the Houston, East & West Texas
railroad, at Houston. While serving
as a freight clerk, he studied law at
night and eventually became a coun,
try counsel for the railroad, journey,

ing his talents principally to the set
Element of cattle claims cases.

him district counsel and his sue

of the bankrupt company won him pro
motion to the position of general coun
sell His seXt step was membership
in firm which represented the South

to this system under Mr.. Hartman
that he was made general counsel with

FARMERS INSTITUTE
Will This Year be Combined With
the Short Course.

The board of directors of the Ma
haska County Farmers Institute held
a special meeting at the Oskaloosa
National Bank Saturday afternoon at
which considerable business of general
interest was accomplished.
The County Picnic" that was to
have been held at the county home
where the Mahaska experiment sta
ton" is located. has been indefinitely
postponed. The date previously ar
ranged was next Saturday, Sept. IL.
The picnic cannot be held at this time
on account of the very serious illness
OF the elder daughter of Steward Will
liams.
The directors decided to have the
premium list of the institution in con-
nection with the Short Course instead
of holding an institute in addition to
the Short Course. This arrangement
meets with the approval OF all who
have consulted in connection with the
idea The Short Course books, in
Guiding the program of the week, ETC.,
will therefore be made one book.
The dates of the Mahaska County
Short Course are announced for De-
cember Is to Is inclusive. These dates
will be taken instead of the annual in
stitute dates that have heretofore
been selected in January. That part
OF the Institute program which has to
deal with the declamatory and orator.,
cal contests for the children OF the
county schools will not be abandoned,
however, and special dates have been
assigned therefore. The contests will
be held on Wednesday and Thursday
December and 3, which arrangement
will meet with general approval The
contests have come to be one of the
prime factors in the success of the
institute. and the directors intend that
the programs devoted to the young
people shall remain permanent.
On account of the unusual size OF
the institute and Short Course an
nouncements, the directors have de
cided that the papers and the discus
sions of the last institute will not ap
pear in the book to be issued this sea
son. The committee on premium lis
will be at work this week soliciting
the matter and getting it ready for thu
printer. Thos. ooseman is Chairman
of the committee, but every member
of the board of directors is inembel
of this program committee and is ex
pected to give time and assistance IL
the work.
The board of directors will have an
other meeting next Saturday at tw'
o'clock, at which time other specia
business will be considered. R
Anyone desiring information cor
corning the Short Course or the wor
of the soliciting committee should cal

Christian Church.


The Bible School attendance was 25f
and the Offering $S.12. Mrs. Lee Long
sang a beautiful SOLO at the close ana
Rev. ]. P. Mcknight gave the school
a very encouraging talk. Mrs. Jennie
Mendenhan and daughter, Mrs. Ada
Barber, of Guthrie, Oklahoma, were
present at all the morning services.
They had both been members OF the
school in years gone by and were most
welcome visitors. Prof. Howard Hook
EFT, of Penn college, rendered solo
at the opening OF the church service.
Rev. ]. P. Mcknight preached the
morning sermon. he was former
pastor of this church and went to the
Pacific coast for Mrs. Meningitis
health. He said there we're many con-
fiicting emotions in being again per-
mitted to look into the faces OF the
Oskaloosa church. He would not try
to preach a sermon, would just talk
for a short time on some things that
We never tire of hearing as faithful
disciples of Christ. SO he gave us a
most fitting address on what he chose
to call THE Inner Circle" of the apos-
tolic band. He spoke very tenderly
OF the friendship which Peter, James
and John enjoyed with Jesus during
his earthly ministry. We would never
have had some of the most beautiful
things in the Gospels had 1t not been
for this tender friendship. These
three apostles were accorded this near
and confidential relation because OF
their supreme devotion to Jesus. No
sacrifice was too great for them to
make to be a solace and comfort to
their Lord. They were with Him on
the Mount of TRANSPORTATION. They
were nearest to him in the garden OF
Gethsemine. They were closest to
him at the cross. Nearness to Jesus
is always a matter of choice with the
disciple himself, 1t Is never denied to
those who are willing to pay the price
in loving srvice. There was a full
house and the sermon was much en-
joyed. Two young persons were re-
ceived into church fellowship. In the
evening the pastor, Rev. S. Fl. Zendt
discoursed to a good audience In his
original instructive manner.
