MAY CHANGE LOCATION
Lease on Present Country Club
Grounds Has Expired.

The annual meeting and election
OF the Oskaloosa Country Club was
held in the committee rooms of the
Oskaloosa National Bank Tuesday
evening. Notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather about forty
members were present and great in.
terest manifested in the future OF the
organization. The following officers
for the coming year were elected by
unanimous vote:

land.
The lease on the present grounds
having expired it is necessary 10
either renew contract for them or
to secure new grounds. Several 9th.
er available and desirable sites have
been offered, and in a general way
the situation was canVassed at the
meeting Monday night. In order 10
get a better understanding of condi-
lions a committee was appointed TO
look into the matter in detail and re-
port with recommendations at a
special meeting to be held at the
same place next Tuesday evening.
This committee comprises, Jas. A.
Dewitt, o. F. Schee, J. S. Henderson,
c. E. Lofiand and ~ ]. Bentley.
The officers reports showed that
the receipts of the club for the past
year had been about $1,000 and the
expenditures about an equal amount
There are at present l42 members.
Many other enthusiasts will join this
spring and it is thought that a mem
bership OF possibly $50 can be Sc
cured. This larger number would
put the club on a good financial basis
and permit of desirable improve
ments being made every year.

cial: The timely appearance of the

"A HERO OF BULL rum
Derange Man Runs Amuck and
Fights Battle Over.

William Brown, said to be a resi-.
dent OF the town of Grinnell, and
who claims to be a hero OF the bat.
tie of Bull Run, attempted TO fight
the battle over again last evening
and was forced to evacuate his posi-
tion and to capitnlate. He surren.
dered, however, only when over.
powered by superior force.
The truth of the matter was that
Colonel Brown ran amuck in the 10.
cality of the Iowa Central passenger
station about 1890 o'clock. No one
seems TO know just what was the
matter with Brown. The statement
that he had bee drinking is denied,
but the fact remains that he was suf-
fering mental ALTERATION and
fierce battle. He had drawn 3S-cali-
bre, loaded revolver on a number of
people about the station and a call
was sent for police assistance. Mr..
Brown took after a young fellow and
chased him east of the Central depot
and held him prisoner against the
fence east OF the station parking. AS
Officer James Lawrence approached
the veteran fighter stuck the gun in
his face with the information that
he intended to kill him. The old
man snapped the trigger as Law.
renee grabbed the barrel and turned
il aside, but the cartridge missed
fire and no harm was done The fel
low who had been held prisoner lost
no time in making quick getaway,
nor would anyone approach or come
to the officers assistance. The big
gun sent everyone into hiding. Officer
Lawrence was tempted to use force
in subduing the old fellow, but in
dition handled him as lightly as pos
sible. The policeman had much
difficulty in taking the gun away and
then the old fellow attempted TO
make for the officer with a knife
This was also taken away and the
hero of Bull Run" was given a ride
in the patrol wagon. He put up an
other fight at the jail and had all
manner of halucinations. The old
fellow was taken before Mayor Rey-
nolds this morning, but he was in no
fit condition to be examined and was
returned to the jail. He was crazy
as loon" Just what can be done
with the patient is a question. 4
he is insane, it is likely he win be
turned over TO the authorities at
Grinnell for handling. The case is
one OF the most unusual and peculiar
that has come UP in police court in
some time.

A CIVIL SERVICE
EXAMINATION HERE
Many Offices Will Be Given
Out to Successful Can
didates by u. S.

According to announcements just
received at the Richmond post Office,
the United States government is right
now in need of several more men for
the civil service. l.. A. Handley, SUI
perintendent of carriers at the local
Office, made public the statement this
morning that the government will
hold examinations throughout the
months of September and October TO
secure eligible candidates to fill va
fees.
The most important position to be
filed at the examinations is that of
editor of the Bureau of Education in
the Department of the Interior. The
Office is being eagerly sought after by
numerous applicants and the race for
it will undoubtedly be close. The gov
eminent offers a salary of two thous-
and dollars a year for this position,
and it is one of the most important
of the subdepartmental Offices at the
national capital. The principal qualifi-
cations for the place of editor are that
the applicant be a male, that he have
a thorough general education, and
that he have good special knowledge
of methods of education. Most of the
successful candidates's time will be
consumed at Washington, but he will
occasionally be called upon to make
trips to other parts of the country.
While at the capital, he will be occu-
pied with tending to all correspond
ence regarding education, and with ed
iting matter on the subject. He will
also be expected to make reports re-
garding his work, and to write original
articles expressing his views on edu-
cation. When away from Washington,
the editor spends a good part of his
time in study. He also is called upon
to attend conferences, and to give &C.
casional lectures. Mr.. Handley is ex-
pecting Richmond to make a favora-
BILE showing in the test for this posi-
ton, and advises that prospective can
didates can secure application blanks
by calling at his Office and asking for
form 304 .-,..
Although most of the interest seems
to be centering around the selection
of the educational editor. many other
civil service examinations will be held
In the near future also. The offices to
be filed include
Topographic Craftsman, Laboratory
Helper, Animal Husbandman, Clerk
qualified as typewriter repairer, Tele-
phone Operator. Nautical Expert, Aid
in grain Standardization. Chemist in
sugar plant investigations, Mechani-
clans, Trained Nurse, Bacteriologist
and Pathologist in the Philippines,

Wrinkleless Skin
Now Easy to Have
(From Family Physician)

There's no excuse for any woman
having wrinkles now. 1t has been
found that a simple mixture of saxo-
lite and witch hazel has a remarkable
action upon the deepest wrinkles, no
matter what their nature, whether
caused by worry, habitual frowning, a
debilitated condition or the ravages of
Father Time. This harmless remedy,
which anyone can easily make, OBJ
tanning the ingredients at any drug
store, acts both as an astringent and
a tonic. The combined effect of tight
ening the skin and frightening it's vi
tally is to Immediately affect every
line and wrinkle. keeping the cuticle
smooth and firm as in youth.
The proportions are one ounce sax
olite (powdered) to one-half pint witch
hazel The solution should be used as
a wash lotion. 1t is equally effective
in disposing of flabbiness of cheek and
neck. as we'll as sagging below the
eyes.
