day night about nine o'clock carrying
about 900 people bound for the Windy
City. Almost two hundred Of these
were from Oskaloosa. Every sleep
ing accommodation provided for the
train was taken and one hundred
more berths could have been sold
from the Oskaloosa station had they
been at disposal of the company.
All expectations on the size of the
crowd were exceeded by the unprece-
denied patronage. The weather being
cool and comfortable possibly had
something to do with the increased
demand for transportation. The train
was started at Mason City with
larger number than the agents fig
ures had forecasted. At Marshalltown
the size of the crowd had grown to
almost 400 and extra equipment was
added. Grinnell had a good sized
delegation and another car was picked
up at that place. When the train
pulled out of Oskaloosa its capacity
was taxed in caring for the patrons
and no more equipment was to be had.
The big train was pulled by a dou-
BILE header, two 200-class engines,
that walked right along on schedule

event or accident and the train was
taken into Chicago Sunday morning
by Chicago & Alton engines. The
special train leaves Chicago at $3.50
this Monday evening and will arrive
in Oskaloosa tomorrow, Tuesday
morning.
The train from here to Peoria was
in charge of Conductor Frank Snider,
with Engineers /. H. Steddom and
Tom Cooney at the throttles, assisted
by Firemen C. w. Ankeny and John
Moore. The same crew will bring
the train back.

i'll and disappeared. Efforts are being

Delay In Discovery.
The delay in determining definitely
that Mrs. Mastrodenico died of chol-
era was due to difficulty in recovering
the germs of the disease from the cul-
lures, the diagnosis being made pos
sible only by the receipt from Wash
ington Of a supply Of anti-cholera
serum with which agglutination tests
were made.
Mrs. Mastrodenico. until she was
