TAINToR Is BOOMING.
Opening of New Bank Has a Benefi-

With the announcement of the or
ganization of the new Taintor, Ia,
bank, the inhabitants of that town, in
the northwest corner of Mahaska coun-
ty, are anticipating great boom In
the commercial prosperity of the viii.
age. Already the price of real estate
has advanced, rentable houses have
been taken off the market and every
property owner is holding back to
await the boom. There are now pros
poets of the opening of a new store
and other engagements of the bust
ness facilities of the place and consid-
cradle excitement exists, all because
Taintor is to have bank. Someone
who has been there recently says that
1t is impossible for anyone to get in
there to live because of the inflated
prices of property and the impossible
ity of renting a desirable residence.

PERMITS ARE GRANTED
Provision Made Against a Drouth
in 0skaloosa.

A special meeting of the city coun'
ell was held Saturday evening to care
for a business matter in connection
with the operation of the Oskaloosa
saloons. Under the new law that be-
came effective Sunday, July 4th, any
person under indictment is declared
incompetent to operate a place where
liquor is sold. The new law possibly
would not apply to Oskaloosa cases
but in the face of the fact that several
of the owners of Oskaloosa retail
liquor saloons are held to the federal
grand court to answer to the charge
of selling to Indians, the meeting was
called to make provision for the oper
alton of the places now holding IL
cense in case the proprietors may be
held not competent.
A preliminary meeting was held al
noon Saturday at which the matter
was presented Councilmen present:
|Campfield, Cruzen, Milllgan and Laffol
let. No action was taken at that
time. At the meeting Saturday night
there were present Campfield, Cruzen
Dickson and Laffollett, all of whom
voted for the following permits fol-
the places now in operation:
J. A. N. Miller for Fred Blattenr.

STOP SALES OF LIQUOR
Lid Comes Down On Out Of Town
Illegal Traffic.

Sheriff Ed Valentine and County
Attorney Jas, G. patterson are in re.
ceipt of communications from officers
of eht Mahaska County Federation
complaining of the alleged tact that
Oskaloosa wholesale liquor dealers
are hauling booze to the nearby
mining camps. The suggestion
brought immediate response from the
officials and Sheriff Valentine has
made investigation of the alleged
occurrences and has personally in
formed every dealer in the city that
all such transactions must cease or
that information will be filed against
the offenders and the prosecution car
ried out to the full extent of the law.
1t goes without saying that Mr.. Val
entine will keep his word and any IL
quor dealer who has been INDUCING
in illegal practices will undoubtedly
regard the sheriffs warning, for he
has expressed his intention of follow
ing the offender to the end of the road
and If he once starts after one of
them he. will bring MIN back to justice.
1t is not expected that any further
complaints will be received but both
officials will gladly receive any infor-
nation regarding such violations of
the law and with sufficient evidence
in sight will take the initiative and
start necessary proceedings.

TOOK HER own LIFE
Tragedy Enacted at the Court House
In Abba.

Emily Kester, of Ottumwa, a former
Oskaloosa girl, committed suicide in
Abba about ten o'clock Friday morn
ing, shooting, herself through the
heart with a thirty-two calibre revoly-
Ter. She came, to- Abba from Ottumwa
in company with Clarence w. Diltz,
of Ottumwa, to whom she is said to
have been engaged. No cause can be
assigned for the act unless a possible
Iestrangment as they are said to have
quarreled the night before at the
Hester home and young Diltz was
about to go to distant part of the
country to take position.
Miss Hester has lived at Ottumwa
for two years or more and has been
a bookkeeper in the Office of w. H.
Cooper G Son. Only short time ago
she persuaded her mother to come to
lOttumwa to make her home and they
were comfortably located. Miss Kes-
ter said nothing to her mother Friday
morning about contemplated trip
to Abba and the lady is unable to ac-
count for the rash act of the girl I'M
less 1t may have been a misunder-
standing or disagreement with the
lover. Young Diltz is also unable to
explain the action of the girl. She
brought the gun with which she kill
! ed herself from Ottumwa and the act
was probably premeditated. The girl
was alone in the rest room at the
time and it appears the shot was not
heard. The body was first found by
woman entering the room. 1t was
lying on couch in the rest room of
the court house. Young Diltz had been
talking with friend in the corridor
not fifty feet from the place of the
shooting. -, Is.. .gfgI... ...a.t.
Emily or Emilyn Kester was well
known in Oskaloosa. She was a daugh
ter of George A. Hester and sister
of Thomas A. Kester a former news
paper worker of Oskaloosa and OF
tumwa. She was employed with E
s. Knowlton as bookkeeper. She was
a competent and skilled accountant
and a faithful worker with those by
whom she was employed. She had
been previously married in 1904 but
the union proving unhappy the girl
lprocured a divorce.

CHILD Is SAVED.
Came Near Being Dragged Under
Wheels of Train.

An incident that came near costing
the lives of two persons happened last
evening at the Rock Island station
The "Fireny" was just pulling out
when a lady with child of about
six attempted to board the train
The corner of the car kept striking
her and pushing her forward while
the child, which she was holding by
the hand, was being dragged so near
the wheels her dress touched them
The people who were on the platform
of the station were expecting to see
the child crushed under the wheels
and such would have been the case
had not Officer Ruggenburger, who
was standing near, made a grab for
the child. It was risk to take, but
he won and the child was safe on
the platform when the train was
brought to standstill. Ruggenburg
says that he was so badly frightened
that he could not speak for a short
time and that 1t was only a chance
that he succeeded in saving the child,

viii Serve Temporarily AS Physician
For County.

DR.. W. S. Windle has resigned his
position as county physician for the
south half of Mahaska county, and the
same has been accepted by the board
of supervisors, who have appointed in
his place DR.. Edgar Wilcox to serve
until bids can be called for and a new
physician contracted with in legal
form. Under the new law which re-
'quires that all persons afflicted with
small pox or other contagious dis
cases, If able to do so, shall pay the
Expense OF the attending physician,
no county small pox doctor will be en-
ployed and the county physician will
be called upon to attend all cases of
disease whether contagious or not,
wher the persons, because OF poverty,
are unable to employ their own physi,
clan. The board will advertise for
bids for county doctor to serve in the
south half of Mahaska county for one
year, and these will be opened on or
after Saturday, July oath.

POPULATION GROWING
Five Hundred and Seven Births to
ITO Deaths.

That race suicide is not INDUCED
in Mahaska county is evidenced by
the fact that 507 births occurred in
Mahaska county during the year 1908
with only 116 deaths in the same
length OF time, according to the re-
turns made to the county clerk by the
various township assessors. Mr..
Roosevelt would surely commend the
parents of Proud Mahaska for their
excellent showing in the number OF
births, as a substantial increase is
noted over the preceding year, only
375 births being reported for the year
1907. In the matter of the deaths the
report is probably incomplete as the
Iundertakers records show over 300
deaths in the county during the year
A more accurate account OF the
deaths will be secured later from the
secretary OF state in his abstract o.
the undertakers' returns.
