Church Point is anxiously
awaiting the result of the an
alysis of a mineral water which
was discovered Wednesday of
last week on the property Of Mr..
Thelismare Guidry. The water
was drawn from a well at a
depth of 145 fe ct an d
the discovery was somewhat
peculiar. Mr.. Guidry, who owns
a great deal Of stock in that
neighborhood decided to drill a
well to supply his stock with
fresh water. On last Monday
afternoon, at a depth of 145 feet
he struck a massive rock and the
drilling ceased. He then installed
a pump and that afternoon drew
water for his stock. For two days
his stock was given a rare treat
in the shape of a laxitive con-
sequently putting his stock in a
very serious condition and placing
one Of his horses on the dead
list. Discovering the effect Of
the water, Mr.. Guidry bottled a
pint of itand shipped it to Finley
Dicks in New Orleans for an
alysis. In the meantime Mr..
Guidry is draining the well andis
preparations to drill
deeper. The water is clear and
has a very pleasant taste.

CRIME LAID TO WOMAN
Death of Babe Near Buxton Charged
to Mrs. Sarah Shaffer.

Coroner E. NJ. Cheesman held an
inquest Monday afternoon to gather
evidence concerning the death of a
babe found dead by Martin Schipper,
near Buxton. The jury, John Cruik-
shank, Charles Hartman and Oscar
Peterson, decided that the child came
to its death by violence, and felonious-
ly; that a crime had been committed,
and that. in their opinion, one Sarah
Wilson Shafer, colored. was response
BILE. Papers were made out accord
ingly, the Shafer woman arrested and
brought to Oskaloosa and placed in
Jail to await hearing.
Young Schipper identified the wom-
an. She denied being dressed as the
boy described her, but the statements
of the lad concerning this point were
fully eorroborated by other witnesses,
and the officers felt justified in hold
ing the woman, although she denies
any knowledge of or connection with
the affair. ..
The body found was that of a six
months foetus. Effort to locate an.
other colored woman said to have
been associated with the Snafer wom-
an was unsuccessful.

Total ................. i

Mondays total vote, 1926, is almost
two.thirds of the total vote cast at
the municipal election of March 31st,
when 2,169 votes were polled.
The discrepancy between the total
vote cast and the number of votes
counted for or against, is accounted
for by rejected ballots. Then some
voted for the first ordinance but not
for the second, while others voted for
the second but disregarded the first.
Others voted for one and against the
other. 1t is somewhat singular that
the figure four should appear SO many
times in the negative vote.
Option on the local property is held
by the Mckinley interests up to June
first, giving the company more than
thirty days in which to exercise their
rights and make the necessary trans
fers. 1t is big piece of work that
confronts the arrangements of both
interests in the completion of the
deal.
Oskaloosa voters have opened the
way to greater and better things for
the old town. The signs are right.
The omens are propitious. In other
words, it's the right time of the
moon" and one big thing brings an
other. The old town is coming in a
larger way than many of it's citizens
realize. Hurrah for Mckinley!

description of an aged negro passing
through the streets of New Orleans
prompted the club to sing Old Black

MAKER or LIGHT BULB DIES
George Teasdaie Of Kansas City, Who
Invented inoandescent, Failed to
Realize Its Value.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 29.-George
Teasdale, who claimed the distinction
of having blown the first incandescent
electric light bulb, died at his home
In Kansas City, Kan. Teasdale was
seventy-two years old, and had been
q glass blower since he was fifteen.
In making his first electric lamp
Teasdale was associated In New York
with Henry Goebel. a jeweler.
Il remember when father made the
light" George ]. Teasdale, Jr., said.
He and Goebel planned the light. and
father made the straight tube about
FIVE inches long with platinum cord
running down the center. The air
was exhausted and the jeweler sealed
up the ends.
Father did not realize the value OF
the invention; he turned his rights
over to others and devoted his time
to other glass work"

PROMOTE ENTERPRISES
Industrial Committee Will Work
for a Greater Oskaloosa.

Something good for Oskaloosa was
launched Monday night at meeting
of the board of directors of the Oska-
Iloosa Commercial Club 1t is re-
vival of the Industrial Committee of
the club, organized for the purpose Of
aiding new industries that may be
Induced to come to Oskaloosa or pro-
noting those already established here.
The committee will be regularly incor-
porated with capital stock of $780,
900. 1t will work with the club but
will be Independent of the parent or
ganization. The only connection will
be that all stockholders in the COM
mittee must be members of the Com
mercial Club.
1t is not proposed by the committee
to give bonuses or make donations to
enterprises, but to take stock in wor-
| thy concerns, buy their bonds, or
erect buildings for them. Experience
has proven to the club that many
worthy concerns are in need of more
capital than they can command, and
a little aid at the proper time spells
success for some that must fail or go
where capital can be secured. The
industrial committee will no doubt be
the greatest boon to the city of any
organization yet attempted, and its
success will mean greater Oska-
iloosa. ~.
Meantime a campaign for member
ships to the club is to be organized
and carried on. The membership fee
J. is an absolute necessity to pay the
current expenses of the organization,
and to care for the manifold little
matters that come up during the year.
Oskaloosa should have a Commercial
Club of at least 800 members, and
that is the figure toward which the
board of directors propose to work.
The committees will be around this
week, possibly tomorrow, and you
should meet them gladly and willing
ly. Towns cannot be built or kept
alive without money, and every good
citizen can pay at least S. per year to
keep up an organization which is alive
to all the interests of Oskaloosa and
which gives of its time and work with
out money and without cost.
AS an evidence of the interest taken
in the work by the new board OF di-
rectors, every one of the fifteen elect
ed were present Monday night.

has MninaS Inwa

For the week ending April 81, 1918.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The past week was, as a whole fav.
orable for farm work, and over the
larger part of the state, rapid progress
was made in sowing small grain and
plowings for corn. Work was, how
ever, retarded in the northwestern
counties by heavy rains on the Esd
and gath, which were followed, in all
sections by light to heavy frosts on
the last three mornings of the week.
About 80 per cent of the seeding
has been finished, and the remainder
will be completed within the next few
days. In the northwestern counties,
where the rainfall was the heaviest
and field work seriously retarded, con-
siderable of the acreage intended for
Ioats will be reserved for corn The
Iearly sown grain is up and shows a
good stand. Grass is growing nicely,
land in some localities stock is in pas
ture. Fruit trees are still in fine con-
ldition. Plum trees are in blossom
in the central districts and all fruit
uds are beginning to swell in north
ern counties. The spring pig crop
Is reported to be short in many local
tiles and especially where cholera
was prevalent last year. 30
The indications at the close of the
week are favorable for rising tenn
lperature, and with warm weather corn
planting will begin during the coming
week. .-.~ GEO. NJ. CHAPEL,
