This time he was pushed somewhat Wig

He took walk around the block and
returned for third time. This time the
entire committee kicked him downstairs
Just as he landed on the sidewalk a
friend came along and said:

IN THE BLACK HILLS
Former Oskaloosa Lady Tells of an
Interesting Trip.
Pierre, s. D., Sept.

fleTTc, .. ", OCpt' q.
Dear Herald:--lf you will permit
me, | will try to describe our recent
trip through the Black Hills. We
left Pierre, S. d., Aug. 20, going to
Rapid City, which is very pretty
town situated in the Hills. Our next
stop was at Hot Springs, where we
spent several days resting and seeing
sights. They have here several build
ings of interest as well as beauty
some of which are the Soldiers Home
situated high up n the hills and az
fords fine view of the city. They
have about ESQ in the home, all SEEM
ingly happy. One thing particularly
interesting was collection of speci-
mems from all over the world, owned
by an old soldiar, for which he has
refused five thousand dollars. We
next visited the Battle Mountain U. S.
Sanitarium, also situated high up in
the hills on the opposite side OF the
city Sick soldiers from all over the
world are cared for here. This build
ing is built in a circle, a part of it
ed that there are no steps, but a grad
ual incline from the basement to the
different rooms. They have at pres
ent about 300 sick or ailing soldiers,
some from the Cuban war. They also
have here a large cancer hospital;
have a tuberculosis hospital almost
completed. This is for soldiers and
is not attached to the sanitarium.
They have a spring of warm water,
which is called the Kidney Spring, so
called for it's curative powers upon
that organ of the body. You may
drink as much or as little as you like
for the same price; it is free, and
hundreds of people drink from it dali
ly. Your correspondent tried it a
number of times. 1t may be alright
but it is too warm for comfort on a
hot day. They also have number of
bath houses and plunges of all kind.
After watching the bathers a while
we donned suits and ventured in.
That is, the family did; found the
water too cold, so stood on the first
sup, "hCh oolliC oIiC sCiiSu, SoIhC VII
in, the waters fine" and suddenly
splashed water all over me.
We left Hot Springs, going over
the c., B. & Q. to Custer. The seen
cry over this route is grand, going
from Custer to Sylvan Lake by stage.
The beauties of this place are beyond
explanation, but must be seen to be
appreciated. They have a fine hotel,
however, and good service. In the
evening we did some climbing before
supper. Climbed to the top of very
high peak. One of our party fell in
coming down and as a consequence
had badly swollen nose, but re-
marked she didn't care. ct was a

BROWN:-George e. Brown, after
long illness, died this, Tuesday
morning, September 7th, 1909, of con-
sumption at his home, 900 Sixth ave
nue. east, aged 40 years, months and
s days. Funeral services Thursday
afternoon September 9th, at o'clock
at the First Baptist church, Rev. w.
C. Rutherford officiating, and inter
ment in Forest cemetery.
The deceased has been lifelong
resident of Iowa. He was born June
Goth, 1869, in Keokuk county, moving
in later years with his parents, to Mar
ion county. He was married February
"a, 1892 at Harvey, to Miss Luella
Mclaughlin. For the past twenty-one
years he has made his home In Oska-
loosa, and his. integrity and honest
methods have been known to all the
men of the community with whom he
has been engaged III business. He
was best known as manager of the
Siebel mills, which position he filed
most satisfactorily for thirteen years,
years ago on account of ill health,
resulting largely, it is thought, by the
combining work and dusty atmosphere
of the mill. Since that date he has
made vigorous effort to regain his
health and he sought in vain for a
more favorable climate. He first NOV
ed to California and later to Denver,
then returning home and afterwards
going back to Colorado Springs. He
returned to Oskaloosa last November,
the day before Thanksgiving, and has
since been at his old home. At times
his condition seemed to be greatly i'm
proved and every kind of medical
treatment available was tried in vain
attempt to restore his physical
strength. In spite of all that could
be done he seemed to be gradually
failing, and in the last few weeks OF
his life he accepted the services OF
Christian Science healing, and was
regularly and faithfully attended by
members of the local church. He was
greatly cheered and seemingly bene,
fitted by this treatment and mad the
greatest faith in believing that he
could regain his strength. He remain
ed hopeful and cheerful until the last
and passed away quietly surrounded
by the members of his family and
| friends.
The deceased has for the past score
OF years been member and active
worker in the Baptist church, being
a pillar in the local organization. He
served both as deacon and trustee
and for ten years superintendent the
Baptist Sunday school. His entire life
was one of service for his family, fel
low men and Master. he was devoted
to his beloved wife and wrapped vi
in his two children, Guy and Ruth, al
OF whom survive him. and so full,
! did he exemplify the ideas OF |
