Buzz, buzz signalled the clerk to

Egg sandwich and coffee, said
another patron.
Buzz" went the electric bell again.
That is the system Of the quick
,unch room owners If one orders
.nything but an egg dish the clerk
salls it to the cook in tone, so loud
that its seems he wants every one in
town to know what his patron is about

charge. Instead of yelling he gives a
iifelike impersonation of the signal
corps with a little push button in
reach "a we 5"
And why? Because to call out an
order for an egg dish might give
some one else bunch that he wanted
to eat eggs for lunch, and eggs are
the most expensive things served in
a quick lunch house. If Jones went
into the lunch room with his mouth
set for a ham sandwich and Smith
should order an egg sandwich and the
clerk should shout "one egg" then
Jones might order an egg. But so
long as Smiths egg order is not ad-
vertised it is a ten to one shot that
Jones will stick to ham, thereby in
creasing the days profits.

AS TO COUNTY PRINTING.

Sometimes, especially during a po-
litical campaign, the Herald is accus'
eG of having its hand in the county
pork barrel" as the chairman of the
democratic county committee put 1t
last fall. There is little use to deny
such statements in the excitement OF
election time, as everything that is
said then is usually, discounted, and
the truth finds the road rocky and full
o., ruts. ts%'
The proceedings of the board of
supervisors for their september meet
ing. just published, show that with
the exception of the Saturday Globe,
which is strictly non-partisan paper,
the Herald received less patronage
from the county Officials than. any
other paper in the county, and that
too, in the face of the fact only two o.
the thirteen county officials are dem
ocrats, and the Herald gave freely OF
it's time and space and means to the
support of the republican ticket
The printing bills for the quarter
ending September l were allowed as
follows:
Oskaloosa Times S232.21
Fremont Gazette ............. 14l.65
New Sharon Star .......... 1890.
Oskaloosa Herald .......... $1,000
Saturday Globe ............. 1898
The point which the Herald wishes
to emphasize is the fact that its re-
pubiicanism does not depend on the
patronage it receives from the county.
Ii has always stood Loyalty by the re-
publican party because it believed in
the principles OF that party and it pro-
poses to continue to do so. notwith
standing the criticisms of those who
enjoy saying things for effect without
investigating the facts.

PATHETIC SCENE IN COURT.
Six Children Are Taken From Parents
At Marengo.

GMarengo, Ia, Oct. 27.-One of the
most pathetic scenes ever witnessed
in the Iowa county court house occur
red this Week when Judge r. P. Powell
took four young children away from
Mr.. and Mrs. James Stanton and or
dered them sent to the Orphans home
at Ottumwa.
The family consisted of six children
besides the father and mother and
they were all living in one small room
on a farm near Marengo. They had
failed to provide sufficient clothing for
the children and were neglecting to
send them to school and the case was
called to the attention OF the county
attorney. When the children, whose
ages ranged from four years to four
teen, were taken from the parents and
placed in the sheriff's office the scene
which followed was one which will
never be forgotten by the officers in
the court house. The father, who is
physical giant, was attempting to
break in the door of the sheriff's Of
fee, while the crying of the mother
compelled the attorneys who were in
attendance to hang their heads and
leave. When peace was finally restor
ed the children were stripped of their
old clothing and after thorough
scrubbing they were attired in clothes,
part of which were donated by the Of
ficers of the court house and the bal
ance purchased and they were taken
to Ottumwa by Deputy Sheriff CATER

case of blood poison, being confined to
his home in Beacon and the loss of
the right foot is threatened. The trou-
BILE started in one of his toes which
was amputated to give relief and to
stop the progress of the trouble. The
operation may have been too late,
however, and the infection is spread

fined to his bed for ten days or more
and is rendered sick and helpless by
the trouble. Many friends will hope for
speedy betterment in his condition.

The DIR. scHLATTER CASE.

Mystery surrounds the death of the
DIR. iSchlatter, the divine
healer" in hotel at Hastings, Ne
braska. The circumstances surround
ing the death were perfectly natural,
but the identity Of the man is uncer-
tain, but it is believed to be Charles
Mclean.
1t was generally accepted that the
original DR.. Schlatter, sometimes call
ed the "Mexiean} Messiah died in
colorado desert more than ten years
ago. Soon afterwards a man who
claimed to be Schlatter was reported
to have married Mrs. Ferris, widow OF
the man who CONSTRUCTED the great
Ferris wheel which was a feature at
the Worlds Columbian exposition.
Last May there appeared at the
Central Spiritual church in Chicago
a smooth shaven, long haired individ-
ual. who said he was the original
Schlattcr, and that he did not die on
the Colorado desert. His wife, who
prior to her marriage to this man was
Mrs. l.. V. Conner, professional
healer OF Chicago in days gone by
corroborated his statement. She de-
clared Schlatter never married Mrs.
Ferris, or anybody else except Mrs.
Conner.
Waite there were plenty of scOffers
at Hastings. the mans followers gen
orally believed him to be the real
Schlatter and there was not the slight
est intimation of any other name until
his effects We're gone through after
his death. Then the name Charles
Mclean" was disclosed, and it was
also shown that he had written let
ter naming David McNaughtOn CustO-
dian of his effects.
Thousands of newspaper and maya
zine clippings describing the original
Schlatter and his work were found in
the room, as well as many circulars
advertising him as the Messiah" The
man followed with remarkable close
ness the career of the original healer.
The man who made the name Fran
els Schlatter" famous, the man gen
orally conceded to have persisted on
the Colorado desert, made his first APP
Ipearance as healer among the in
tensely religious and superStitiOus
MeXicans of New Mexico in July, 1895.
A sickly, deformed Mexican girl,
who had been put aside by her family,
was one day confronted by strange
man with long flowing beard, long
hair, and kindly eyes, and ne offered
to cure the girl. He laid hands upon
her affliction and muttered a prayer,
and. so the story goes, the next day
she was sound as any other child. 9th
err cases came to the healer and dis
asses which baffled the best physi-
clans appeared to vanish at his com
mand
He went to Denver later, and there
tasted forty days. People gathered in
such numbers that his house was I'M
able to accommodate them and he
stood for days at his front gate with
the afflicted marching by in a process
sion.
He would lean over the gate and
take each patient by the hand and
then offer individual prayers. He re-
fused to take money, and gave entire
credit for his accomplishments to"the
Father" -
Soon afterward he disappeared.
Months passed and then what was be-
lieved to be his skeleton and dead
horse were found on the Colorado des-
ert.
