Oskaloosa Times: In addition to
his mercantile business Mr.. Baldauf
was engaged in other business enter
priSes, in ell of which he demon
stratcd the sagacity that led to sue
cess financially. He was ever public
spirited and took leading part in all
that he conceived to be for the ad.
vantage and interest of Oskaloosa. He
was generous towards worthy objects
and subscribed literally towards the
Oskaloosa hospital, Penn College en-
dOwments, showing in this respect a
bread and liberal mind Taken
broadly, Mr.. Baldauf's was a charac-
ter worthy of respect and emulation.
In private life, in his business rela-
items and in public affairs his ex-
ample was always in the right direc-
zion. His loss will be deeply felt in
the community. His widow, children
and relatives have the sympathy of
all in their sorrow and Sudden be-
reavement.
The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1911-08-17

Saturday Globe: During his long
business career Mr.. Baldauf was a
dominant factor in the affairs of our
community and did a great deal for
the material advancement of Oska-
loOsa. No public enterprise which
called for a subscription but what
found Mr.. Baldaufs name on it for
a liberal amount. At various times
ne has been a director of the CONNER
cial club and at all times he was
called upon to give advice in matters
of Importance. Having successfully
conducted large business interests
his counsels in this direction were
always potent At the social gather
ings he was prominent, genial and
pleasant. He was one of the founders
Of the Country club and served on
the finance committee in it's early
days. Mr.. Baldauf could probably
shake hands with all and call by
name more people than any person in
the city, his long career as a bust
ness man giving him an extensive
acquaintance He was a liberal glver
to charity and benevolent enterprises,
the Oskaloosa public hospital having
received a number of handsome gifts
from him. Probably his last active
work of a public nature was as a
member of the city committee in the
recent successful Penn endowment
campaign. In the death of Mr.. Bal.
dauf Oskaloosa loses one of her
most useful, prominent and successful
citizens, a pioneer business man.

PARIS HAS PLAGUE OF ANTS;
 SOME OF THEM WINGED

PARIS, Aug. 19.-The hot weather in Paris has brought with it q plague of new. curious and an unpleasant kind- 1t is a plague of ants, and the ants are both wingless and winged. The wingiess ants infest the centrai quarters o fthe city, coming up by hundreds of thousands through the cracks in the parcuet, flooring, and forming armies which march through crevices in the wood work and plaster of the walls
 The confectioners' and fruiterg shops are suffering great deal from the plague. and tTadesmen are trying to fight it with vinegar. That they pour into the crasks and crevices and everywhere they think if possible to cut off the ants line of march. The vinegar does not kill the insects, but they dislike the smell of it and go elsewhere.
 The winged ants are infesting the Champs Elysees quarter and the Bois de Boulogne. They fan down in swarms and when once on the ground they have no strength to fly away again. The scientists are not quite certain where these little creatures c0me from. and no method has been found yet to abate the nuisance.

BERLIN MUCH INTERESTED
 IN VISIT OF EDISON

BERLIN, Aug. 19-Lively interest is manifested here in the arrival of Ed ison in Germany. He hasn't visited the fatherland since 1889, when he came here as a guest of Werner Van Elemens. the celebrated German man ufacturer, who is largely responsible for the development of Edison's in. ventiOns in Europe.
 Mir. Edison expects to be in Berlin about the middle of September. He probably will be the guest Of Sigmund Bergmann, a prominent German man. ufacturer, who for a long time has been personally associated with the wizard of MenlO park.
 It is possible the American chamber of commerce in Berlin also will en- certain Edison in order to give his compatriots in Berlin a chance of meeting him at a dinner or reception.
 Local newspapers say the main ob- ject Of Edison's trip to Germany is to transfer the headquarters of his European companies from London to Berlin.

AMERICANS ARE
 BIC SPENDERS
Let Go of a Hundred Million in Europe, and Paris Gets Large Slice
 of II
CLOTHES SHOPS IN CLOVER

PARIS. Aug. 19.-According to re cent statistics something over sS0, V0O,000 per annum has been spent in Europe by American tourists during the last few years. This year the figure win be well over $10O,000, 900, a good share of which goes to Paris, where the American invasion since May has beaten all records.
 Although the hotel men are satisfied with the unusual number of American visitors, only too willing to pay good prices for good aceomodations, it would appear from an investigation that the money spent in hotels this year will represent only a cOmppara- lively small fraction of the total.
