NEW PASTOR COMING
Rev. Clement L. Loehr Will Take
Up Work at First Reformed.

The First Refo- med church has
been more than ordinarily fortunate
in securing the services of Rev.
Clement l.. Loehr, of Lone Tree, la.
Rev. and Mrs. Loehr will arrive in the
city this week ready to take up the
work.
The church has been without reg
ular pastor since the resignation OF
Rev. Petri last July. Rev. Petri or
ganized the congregation and direct
ed the erection of the new church
building, spending four years in the
charge, during which time a gOodly
progress was made. Since his resigna
ton, services have been cared for by
ministers of the American Reformed
church, who have been holding SER
vices in the city with a view toward
the organization of church for the
Holland people in and about OskaloO-
sa, which was recently effected. OF
late the pulpit has been filed by e.
IG. Cutshall, of Penn College. The
Sunday School has kept up to a good
standard of interest and has joined
the other schools OF the county in the
campaign OF 10000 for 1912"
Rev. Loehr preached for the congre-
CATION last summer and a unanimous
Invitation was extended him to be-
come pastor, which was later accept
ed. The year has been spent In Ian
caster, Pa, where he has completed
his seminary course, meanwhile con-
Quoting services for newly organized
and growing church, which parts with
him now with much regret. Rev.
iLoehr is man of pleasing personality
and is deeply spiritual. His accept
ance of the call to serve the small
charge Of oskaloosat is1 due to his zeal
Gus fervor, and he comes with great
enthusiasm for his work. Not only
is the Reformed Church fortunate in
securing him, but Oskaloosa will have
in him valuable addition to her
ministerial force.

THE CONTRACT IS LET
For the Erection of the Elegant New
Country Club House.

The contract was let this morning
to Pearle Sparks for the erection OF
the new club house on the grounds
of the Oskaloosa Country Club. Work
is to be begun at once and pushed to
completion. The old club house is
to be torn down and the available ma.
terial to be used in the construction
of the new building. The site of the
new club house is the former resi-
dence of Ed Mckinley, from whom the
grounds We're purchased. The resi-
dence is to form a wing of the new
building, and the whole structure is
to be symmetrical and incorporated
under one roof. A furnace will be
placed under the residence property,
so that this part may be used the
year round. Every convenience
known to country club houses is to
be installed in the new structure and
the Oskaloosa organization will have
a home second to none in the state.
The action of the city council the
other evening, in voting to aid in the
grading of South 18th street, practi-
cally assures the extension of the
street car line to the new club house.
This will make the country club much
more popular than it has ever been in
the past. and all connected with the
enterprise are to be congratulated for
the improvements contemplated, and
the pleasure that is sure to result
from the arduous efforts of enthusi-
astic club members.

taft GIVEN sos DELEGATES
ESTIMATE PRESENT STRENGTH
oFTHE CANDIDATES.
After Careful Slit of Claims Of Both
Sides and Considering Contests
Properly Filled to Date.

Washington, ID. c., May l8.-Spe-
cial: A careful estimate OF the pres
ent relative strength of the Taft and
Roosevelt, LaFollette and Cummins
delegates chosen for the Chicago con-
vention, after sitting the claims of
both sides and considering the con-
tests filed under the precedents set
by the republican national committee,
gives:
Taft, SOC.
Roosevelt. 1856.
LaFollette, sc.
Cummins, 10.
In this estimate the claims of both
the managers of President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt have been carefully
considered and If the delegates follow
the Instructions of the primaries and
conventions which selected them, Mr..
Taft is within striking distance of the
$40 mark, which he must reach TO win.
No consideration is given to the be-
lated contests filed by the Roosevelt
leaders, which do not come under the
.thirty-day rule established by the re-
publican national committee for pre-
vious conventions.
The Taft forces are in control of the
national committee as at present con-
stituted, and IL is reasonable to as
sumo that precedents will be strictly
adhered to.
