THE I.O.A. SHORT LINE
Route Has Been Marked Across
Mahaska County.

Work on the !. o. A. Short Line
is progressing nicely, and many auto
mobile tourists are beginning to take
advantage of the road. All the
posts along the line through Oskaloo-
sa and Mahaska county have been
marked and much of the road has al
ready been put in shape. Farmers
along the line are awakening to the
desirability of being on a through
road from river to river and are doing
all they can to help out the good
cause.
Already public service of autom0-
biles has been established from New
York and Boston, through Chicago, to
San Francisco, and this traffic will
increase as the Panama Canal EX-
position grows in the western metrop-
oils. Owners of automobiles con-
tract to take parties across the con-
tinent for fixed price. This price in
cludes transportation, meals and
board and all expenses along the
IOutc. AL vi luCoS pdltlSo win
cross the river at Davenport, and it
all depends on the condition of the
roads a sto which line they will take
across Iowa. Last week party OF
forty stopped over night in Des
Moines. If the |. o. A. desires its
share of this traffic the people along
the route must see that the road is
kept in good shape at all times.

Publisher Of Fort Madison Gem City
For Many Years Died at His
Home After Lingering
Illness.
SUCCESSFUL JOURNALIST
Retired Last March When Poor Health
Caused Him to Give Up Active
Work at His
Office.

Joseph M. Nauer, who last March
severed his connection with the Fort
Madison Gem City after twenty-one
years of proprietorship, died at his
home, 1880 Second street, at ITO p.
m Wednesday, at the age of as years
and 20 days, death following linger-
ing illness of paresis, with which he
had been bedfast for the past Ave
weeks.
Joseph M. Nauer, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Adam Nauer, was born at Gin
cinnati, Ohio, May 81. 1866. There
he spent his early life and received his
first school education.
His entrance to the newspaper field
was at the age of IL years, when he
secured a position as bookkeeper in
the orphans home at. Columbus, Ohio,
where the children were taught the
printers trade, and the publication
"Weisenfreund' was issued by them
under the supervision of Rev. Father
Jessing. Mr.. Nauer had under his
charge about dozen boys in the
form room and in his nine years there
mastered the profession himself.
At that time the Fort Madison Gem
City was being published by the late
V. Buechel. The publication was then
not profitable enterprise, and the
proprietor, overworked and in ILL
health, planned a trip to the old coun-
try and wrote to Father Jessing for a
man to take charge during his alb
sence.
Joseph Nauer was the man sent. He
entered on his work with the inten-
ton of remaining only until the re-
turn of Mr.. Buechel, but he saw an
opportunity to make paying invest
ment out of the paper. He made Mr.
Buechel an offer for a half interest
The offer was accepted and Mr.. Nauer
became a resident Of Fort Madison
for the rest of his life, made his pa

at the time of his early death was
