Burlington Hawk-Eye: In Oskaloo-
sa there is said to be difficulty in OBJ
tanning election judges. Include the
clerks, please. 1t has always seemed
strange that anybody should care to
serve in either capacity on election
day. The hours are outlandish, the
quarters frequently leave much to be
desired. The official generally puts
in two days on election day, he puts
in part of a day getting ready for his
duties, and another day getting over
the WEAKNESS attendant upon the dis.
charge of that duty. He is abused II
the returns are forthcoming slowly
and will be cursed without end If he
makes errors that turn up later. And
he gets measly, contemplate salary
of 20 cents or perhaps 80 cents an
hour. OF coursN, the wise legislators
who fixed the salary have not the
slightest conception of what it means
to serve in a big precinct, on a day
when considerable interest is aroused
and heavy vote is brought out. But
for the fact that many people have
laundering" after any sort of public
position, even if it last but one day,
and but for the other fact that there
are still a number of patriotic people
left in the world, there might be some
difficulty in holding elections in Iowa,
based upon the unwillingness of good
citizens to serve for the measly pay
that the law allows for such services.

SEEING OSkALOOSA.

Des Moines Register and Leader;
Eugene Allen, d. D., for the past three
years pastor of the Central Methodist
Episcopal church of Oskaloosa, goes
to the First Methodist Episcopal
church of Burlington. While the
change had been expected for some
time by DR.. Aliens friends at Oska-
loosa, vet under the law of the church
the transfer did not receive official
sanction until near the close of the
annual conference recently held al
Pella. DIR. Allen is looked upon by
those who know him as a conner in
Methodism. He is a product of Mich
igan, coming to Iowa from the Detroit
conference, where he held several i'm
portant appointments, beginning i'm
mediatly after his graduation from
Albion college about fifteen years ago.
DIR. Allen has an engaging PERSONAL
ty. Physically as well as mentally he
is built on a large scale. Although he
has hardly reached the prime of life
he is but A years old-his pulpit work
reflects ripe scholarship and wide ex-
perience. He has rare gift of speech
and when he is in the pulpit there is
no nodding in the pew. The lecture
field has beckoned him on many oc-
casions, but he prefers to confine HIM
self to his ministerial work--he be-
lieves in the doctrine of men being
called to a definite work. However,
he lectures at odd times, but it is only
a diversion. When on the lecture plat
form Lincoln is his chief theme. 1t
is said a man is known by his heroes;
Lincoln is one of his hobbies. DR..
Allen has a twin brother, also Meth
odist preacher, who is pastor of lead
ing church in the east. Their father
before them was a Methodist preach
er, a front ranker in Michigan Meth
odism. Both father and sons were
honored by Albion college with the
degree of doctor of divinity. DIR. AL

kaloosa who wish him well and who
expect to see him do big things in

Saturday Globe: The first Big
Wednesday Bargain Day" drew so
many people to Oskaloosa and con-
duced TO the transaction of so much
business and proved such a booster
for the city, that its continuance as
an established Institution may be re
gsrded as certain. Next Wednesday,
Sept. 81, has been selected as the
date for the second Big Bargain Day,
and there is no doubt, provided wealth
er conditions are at ali satisfactory,
that II will be an even greater event
than its predecessor. II will pay to
read, not only the special advertise
ments of bargains, but the other an
nouncements of our merchants and
business men and secure what Oska-
loosa can furnish, the best in all lines.
There is no question that the interests
of the city and The country are mu-
tual and this Big Wednesday expert
ment will doubtless be a benefit both
to buyers and sellers.
