tempt to extort $4,000 from F. NJ. Ep-
person, the well known Eddyville
banker, by threatening to blow up the
Manning & Epperson bank and the

case with a view of placing the guilty
parties behind the bars. Mr.. Epper-
son received letter in which threats
of violence were made unless he left
the money demanded at the corner of
tine Adventist church. A Chicago
detective was employed and Mr. Ep-
person placed, a dummy package at

A SCHOOL BUILDER.
Much Enthusiasm Shown by North
Mahaska Teachers.

New Sharon, Feb. s, 1910.
Not long ago Mary Gottschlich, OF
Oskaioosa, helped prepare for box
supper at Vail school, which proved
a success. With the net proceeds
$1,000 good, mouse-proof school or
gan was purchased. With this all
we're well pleased, but it aroused an
interest and a desire to make the
school one Of the best in the town
ship. Much improvement Is shown
about the grounds, which evidences
that the director, A. A. Briggs, Is
competent co-operator. The children
were taught the necessity OF having
working material and to satisfy their
desires for more library books the
teacher planned a pie social which
proved very successful. Although
there were only few pies compared
to the large number of men present.
ali were well pleased. Every bench
and seat IN the room was filed, yet
the room was very orderly while lis
tening to the music.
A prize of 2 lbs. OF bonbons was
given to the most popular young Miss,
and one pound to the one receiving
the next highest number OF votes.
Total proceeds of this social were
$500. OF which the patrons should be
proud,

THE BISPHAM CONCERT.
0skaIoosa Favored by One of the
Worlds Greatest Singers.

Oskaloosa music lovers were fav-
ored Monday evening by the appear
ance in the city of Mr.. David Bisp-
ham, one of the worlds greatest sing
ers. The great baritone was brought
to the city through the efforts of the
Penn College musical department
and those who did not hear the great
artist last evening at the Masonic
opera house missed a great opportun-
ity. The house was Well filed and
the audience was appreciative, de-
handing an encore for almost every
selection rendered, but the house
should have been filed to the doors.
1t is not often Oskaloosa entertains
so noted or worthy guest as Mr..
Bisphan and his presence in the city
should have enthused every one who.
cares an iota for music.
In appearance Mr.. Bispham is some
what elderly but his wonderful voice
has the force, the flexibility and the
timbre of youth. The man is possess
ed of wonderful power and the voice
has been admired the world over.
The program rendered was all that
could be desired. 1t was made up of
classic selections with the little
homely melodies that please some
where the more difficult renditions
are not understood. A description of
the piece or a sketch of the composer
given by Mr.. Bisphan, preceded and
introduced almost every selection.
Some of the best themes of Bach,
Mayerbeer, Schumann and Gounod
were exemplifed and the program
while of a highly pleasing character
to the ordinary music lover, was a
source of education and understand.
ing to the student.
Mr.. Bispham struck the chord of
popular fancy in a recitation, of Poe's
Raven, accompanied by piano.
Mr.. Bisphan was accompanied by
piano only, but in highly artistic
that added pleasure to the
entertainment.

propriated by an act of congress for
use in building public roads in this
state. The money thus accrued is
five per cent of the total proceeds re-
ceived by the government for the

When Iowa was admitted into the UNI

the act of congress to the effect that
this five per cent should go to the
government treasury to be placed to
the credit OF the state and which
should be expended on the roads as
directed by the state legislature.
In 1900 the public lands committee
of congress looked into the matter of
given similar appropriations = and
made a report, which report showed
that while Iowa had been paid over
$1,000 out of this fund,yet it had $500,
900 coming. ..... r.. 81
