The prospects are that the total

the result of the destitute condition Of

BARGAIN WEDNESDAY,"
Great Day is Expected in oskaioosa
August oath.

Big Wednesday in Oskaloosa, which
will occur on August "a, promises to
be the greatest bargain day the town
has ever known. Ali the leading
merchants are going to offer some
thing for that day only, at greatly re
duced prices, in nearly every instance
below cost. The. people who fail to
take advantage of the bargains will
be the losers. If everything works
out well, and If the bragains bring the
crowds, as they should do, other. and
bigger bargain days will be attempt
ed in the future. .st
Rushville, Indiana, has been having
Big Wednesdays for some time and
of the latest one, the Daily Republic
can of Thursday, July %. said:
"The general concensus of opinion
today is that yesterday was the
greatest and best attended big
Wednesday" in the history of the
unique and novel day in this city
Everyone of the various numbers OF
the program moved off on time and
the day was run with the regularity
OF clock. The crowds are con.
ceded to be much larger than those
that ever attended on any other big
day in Rushville in recent years. All
of the merchants had record bust.
ness, each one offering a bargain that
induced people from all over the coun-
ty to come here.
'The band concert by the local band
last night was enc of the pleasing at
fractions of the big day. The local
musical organization has received
much favorable comment since IT has
been giving concerts on big Wed,

give good concerts and receive very
little financial aid. They practice
much OF the time and always endea-
vor to give program of entirely new
numbers at each concert.
THE large crowds yesterday was
the most pleasing part of the Whole
day. The rain of the night before
probably allowed many farmers to
come. due to the fact that they could
not work. All of the retail stores

Chicago, Aug. 1T.-Denouncing eff.

Kersten excused an entire panel of
veniremen until an investigation could
be made
His action was taken after almost

This thing has progressed far

attorneys. 1t appears that the ma
jority of these men have been the OBJ
iects of attentions from some persons
interested in the outcome of this trial.
If the men themselves mad not been
spoken to, there have been attempts
to influence their families and thereby
work upon the men indirectly, This is

Judge Kersten called each of the
veniremen by name and asked if he
had been approached. Nearly every
one said Yes, and Judge Kersten
then dismissed the entire panel.
An astonishing reason for the in
vestigators whose work is blamed on
to the defense was given by Attorney
O'Donnell. He said that it was gi-
gantic plot, backed by big political
men, who formed a third party in the
case and were anxious to see Browne
convicted to overthrow the power of a

Many of the beautiful trees in and

great is the havoc that it has be-

that it might be caused by the drouth,

found that the earth was well watered
beneath. Then it was the gas thai
escaped from the pipes about the city

it is believed 10 be the work of ants
