VETERAN ENGINEER DIES.
"Jack" Parker Fired First Coal 10
connective in West

Mahshalltown, Ia, July .7.-Special:
Jack Parker, a veteran engineer OF
the Chicago and Northwestern, and
the fireman who fired the first coal
burning locomotive west of the Missis-
sippi river, died here yesterday OF
blood poisoning following the pairing
of corn too closely. Gangrene, which
set in In Parker's left foot, caused
the amputation of the leg above the
knee on June IA. The other foot be-
came infected from general septicem-
la, and the patient was too weak to
attempt to arrest the disease further.
Parker was conscious almost to the
last and made all arrangements for
the funeral. he began as an engine
wiper at Belle PLANE in 1866, when
that place was the western terminus
of the Northwestern. For the past
twenty-five years, until he was retired
on pension six years ago, he ran a
switch engine in this city He was
II years old and served in the civil
war.

Savaees in Civilization.

Civilization does not change pas
sion. The savage lives. Nothing
alters the elemental emotions. Love
changes to jealousy, jealousy to hate
and hate to murder as swiftly and
ruthlessly on some quiet little back
street of small homes or on some wide
and respectable thoroughfare as In the
jungle. No savage land has more
murders than parts of our cities and
states.
The customs, the restraints and the
outer veneer of civilization perpetual
ly deceive. Men and women, particu-
larry women, look on life as mere
merry dance, in which partners can
be teased by change and changed at
within. But man remains, even more
than woman, under the guise and dis
guises OF civilization, the elemental
savage whose passions boil to love or
death at OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Press

The report of Mrs, Pond, the Corps
representative to the state department
meeting, was presented. 1t was a
comprehensive report of the meeting,
one of the best that has ever been
presented by a delegate. 1t should
have been heard by every member of
the Corps. The report told OF visit
to the Des Moines Corps ,enroute to
the encampment at Fort Dodge, and
some of the excellent things seen at
the meeting were recommended for
adoption by the Oskaloosa Corps. She
told of the opening reception at Fort
Dodge and the eXemplification of de-
gree work following. Mrs. Pond went
into the details of the convention and
told of many things of personal inter
est to W. r. C. workers. Mrs. Ring,
the department president, was pre-
scented with a handsome badge made
by the 7. X. Smith Company of Oska-
loosa. This was only one of the
many presentations mentioned.
Two new Corps were organized
during the year and not one delin-

ried into the schools at every oppor-
tunity Mrs. Pond told what the
Corps was doing in the way of assist

town. 1t gave the Memorial universi-

There were 337 voting members in
the convention and almost as many
visitors.
The department treasury shows a
cash balance of $2,27342. No less
than 1,57S old soldiers and 734 fami-

another year of successful work is
looked forward to.
