Indications are that 1t will be a long
time before there is a union depot for
the Frisco and the Southern roads at
Jasper. The railroad commission has is
sued an order for the depot. though the
people were willing to have one for each
road, and the roads are well aware that
it is hard work for the state to force
such combination of business as this
of necessity requires. Jasper Is not
enough of a connecting station to justify
the union station for this reason and
the two roads have heretofore maintained
different places. In the meantime no
plans of individual or union stations have
been filed with the commission

be thoroughly investigated by the council
and some action taken.

us the best that there is in it, and to
make the farm and farm life as enjoyable
as city life. The state department is
encouraging in every way the organiza-
ton of these clubs and the speakers who

BIDS ARE TOO HIGH.


New Plans and Specifications For
Button Factory Will Be Made.
Four bids for the new Hawkeye
Button Factory to be constructed In
this city were opened yesterday by
the building committee and found to
be considerably higher than the
money subscribed would permit. II
was also found that specifications
were for building even larger than
the one at Keokuk and the bids for
the construction of such factors
were far beyond what building OF
smaller size and more suited to the
conditions in Oskaloosa would cost
There was misunderstanding among
the bidders concerning the size OF
the building and in this manner the
mistake was made. The specifica,
tions viii be altered to suit the con.
ditions and new bids win be asked
for. The reconstructed specifications
will be ready by Tuesday OF next
week and then new bids VIII be made

The fine Charles Buettner collection

the Burlington public library to the
Iowa Wesleyan university in Mt.

by Mr.. Buettner, a well known scien'

has made extensive journeys to every
part of the inhabitable globe. The
late P. M. Grape who practically
founded the public library here, was
greatly interested in the collection
and persuaded Mr.. Buettner to place
lit in the library building. There il
has remained as an attraction to
many visitors of the city.
Recently the new library board
created a sensation by ordering the
collection out of the building. TIE
statement was that the room was
needed for additional eboaN stacks
and that the building was not large
enough to include a museum. As
soon as the Iowa Wesleyan author,

Time He is Having.

fredericksburg, O., July 81, 1910.
Dear Old Herald:-We left Rose
Hill Saturday, July %, at 500 a. m.
Arrived here at 500 a. m. Sunday,
and are having grand good time
one will never forget. All are try
ing to make this Home Coming very
pleasant for the visitors. Our head.
quarters are at the home OF my niece,
Mrs. Jennie Bay. at the edge of the
fair grounds, where for six days of
this week are many attractions.
There are over so entries in the trot-
ting and pacing races. some very fast
ones: balloon ascensions every day;
man performing ON trapese, coming
down with double parachute, and
many shows, Ferris wheel, ocean
wave and merry-go.rounds. We had
good rain this morning that will
spoil the racing for the day, but will
bes the financial success of the fair,
as farmers have been busy putting
up hay.
| have met many relatives and com.
rades and old time friends that are
making this visit very pleasant for us.
My time is too much taken up this
week to write. Will just say the
crops of wheat, oats and corn are the
best ever saw in Ohio; also the hay
crop is heavy. A good deal of alfalfa
is grown here that is good. With
kindest regards to the Herald people
and it's readers. will close.
