DR.. Gunsaulus As A Journalist

The public owes gratitude to the
person, whoever he may be, who per-
suaded Rev. Dr. Frank w. Gunsau-
lus to contribute those pithy editor
ial articles which one now finds print
ed in large type, IN every issue OF the
Sunday Record Herald. 1t is a
feather i'm the cap Of Chicago jour
nalism. The combination is ideal
the most eloquent preacher in Chica-
go voicing his finest thoughts each
week through the column Of Chica
go's leading home newspaper. The
articles have made a hit and are do
ing lot OF good.
AS pastor of Central Church and
President Of Armour Institute, Dr.
Cur saulus has long had wide circle
of usefulness, but it is entirely pos
sible that he is accomplishing more
through his Record-H Herald talks"
than through all his other activities
combined. These informal pungent
articles are always inspiring. They
are read by tens of thousands who
would never go to hear a sermon
They deal with the deep things of
life, the deep, homely, unive rsal
problems that are making and break
ing young lives and old hearts all
around us every day.
The Chicago Record Herald has a
better right than ever to be called
the best home newspaper in the Unit
ed States now that it has DR.. Gun
saulus on it's Sunday staff.

Dr.. Stone Is Victorious

Glasgow, Mont. Nov. II. DR.. Guy
Stone, Of this city. who has been
frequently mentioned in the news
papers in the past few weeks as a re-
suit AS having been turned down by
the state medical board, came home
Wednesday morning considerably
elated over his victory at Helena the
first Of the week, when the district
court, with jury of six Helena ply
sicians, reversed the decision of the
state board as to the qualifications
OF DR.. Stone to practice medicine
and surgery in the state of Montana.
DR.. Stone expresses regret that,
after he has compelled the state
board to honor his examination, his
papers having baen passed on by six
Helena physicians-four of whom
were the choice Of the boards coun-
sci, with the other two the choice of
DR.. Stone-that the full facts in the
case have not appeared in the news
papers of the state, but instead mis-
leading statements regarding him.
self. The doctor makes no criticism
of the state board but feels that the
secretary of the board was unfair in
his methods. He has returned home
content to mind his own business,
and attend to his practice now tina t
lie. has secured his rights.
When asked for an interview COLI
cerning the alleged Offering Of a
bribe by him to DR.. Mccarthy, DR..
Stone said, '"The sworn testimony
given by myself at the trial of my
appeal from the action of the state
board speaks for itself, and is un.
doubtedly accessible to the newspap-
ers as we'll as to the public in gener-
al. greatly regret that some of the
jury who decided the appeal should
be ridiculed by some of the newspa-
pers, apparently because the evi-
dence given at the trial proved what
had maintained regarding DR.. Rid
dell's motives.

AN UNUSUAL ACCIDENT
Estel Anderson Loses Valuable
Horse in a Collision.

The collision of a couple of horses,
both trotting, on North ID street, a
little south Of the c avenue inter-
section, about nine o'clock Friday
evening resulted in the death of a
valuable little mare. One of the thills
of the buggy being driven south pene-
trated the breast of the mare to q
depth of twenty inches or more and
pierced the heart. The mare was the
property of Estel Anderson, son OF
C. w. Anderson, OF near Lacey. He
was driving north on ID street APP
preaching c avenue. He turned to the
left to pass rig hitched on the east
side Of the street. Clifford Stewart
young man of Madison township was
driving south on d street. Both
horses were trotting at the time of
the collision and they came together
with great force. The accident was
unusual and under the circumstances
unavoidable. The street intersection
where the mishap occurred was quite
dark and neither rig made much
noise. The drivers were unable to
see each other in time to avoid the
crash and blame for the occurrence
attaches to no one.

SCISSOR Of a receipted check with a
signature which local authorities
claim is written in perfect Old Eng
fish style. John Pangerschitz came
from the "old country" only a short
time ago and commenced working

(for he cannot speak English) he

whatever he wrote his name with a
pencil in Old English style. Mr..
Howard has displayed the signature
to number of Oskaloosans, who are
authority on Old English print, and
each say that the work is perfect.

RAINFALL IN APRIL
A Total of 3 TIC is Mahaska's Por

of rainfall during the month of April
This amount was spread out over
about six days and the days ranged
evenly through the month. Compar

shows a marked increase, for during
that month onl a total of one and
eleven-sixteenths fell. February is

inch is shown by Mr.. V-eeland's re.

M.C.V.A.TO Be NO MORE
Was Dissolved at Meeting Held
Monday Afternoon.

The Mahaska County Veterans AS
sociation has been dissolved and has
ceased to exist as an organization.
The attendance called for the Post
hall at the court house for Monday
afternoon was only fair and if any
interest in keeping alive the county
organization OF veterans existed, 1t
was not much in evidence at the
meeting. Effort has been made from
time to time to have meetings of the
old soldiers of the county, but with
out any marked degree of success.
Those who have been endeavOring to
carry the burden of this organiza-
ton have grown weary Of the atti.
tude of disinterestedness on the part
OF others.
The sentiment of the meeting was
that the county organization should
be no longer maintained, that the up.
holding OF two associations so closely
allied as the G. A. X. and the Old
Veterans association was beneficial
for neither and that all strength and
effort should now center in the
Grand Army organization. that the
old soldiers should conserve their eff.
fort in that direction.
The thought of a permanent me-
mortal fund to be established for the
soldiers OF the county, to be the
outcome of the Mahaska county as
ISOLATION, was expressed, but of this
sentiment an action OF different
character will be organized later.
