NAMING OF THE SCHOOL,
Mrs. Effie Hoffman Rogers Suggests
Building be Called "Phillips."

Mrs. Effie Hoffman Rogers, school
director, at meeting of the board
of education not long since, breach
ed the subject of name for the new
school building being erected in the
Fourth ward, Mrs. Rogers presented
the name of Phillips" school in hon
or of Aunt Semira Phillips" of Oska-
loosa and made brief statement OF
the reasons for naming the building
for a local person.
In the first place school buildings
more appropriately bear names for
local memorial rather than names
that mean little or nothing to a COM
munity. For example old Gospel
Ridge" school a former building in
Oskaloosa is talked of to-day, years
after it has disappeared because its
name meant something to the people
of the community.
Fourth ward will stand upon the
ground once owned and farmed by
Mrs. Semira A. Phillips who was the
first school teacher in Mahaska coun-
ty. She was one of the first of the
pioneer women in Oskaloosa and lived
here practically all her life. She was
an educator and as such had state
wide reputation.
Mrs. Rogers did not make the
recommendation as a motion but, the
matter is being considered by the
board and will have future determin-
alton. ..ga. 10.

GREATEST VAUDEVILLE WAR
BATTLE is EXPECTED TO START
AT ONCE IN PHILADELPHIA.
Dissolution Of Nixon & Zimmerman
First Gun Fired for Battle
of Supremacy.

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 20.-The dis
solution of the theatrical firm of Nix.
on G. Zimmerman is the start of the
biggest vaudeville war this country
has seen in years. Philadelphia al
first will be the seat of the war which
is expected to spread all over the
country.
The warning interests are B. F.
Keith, who will be aided by Fred zim-
norman; Fred G. Nixon-Nirdlinger,
who will have the backing of Samuel
F. Nixon and his millions, and Mar,
Gus Loew.
The battle is expected to start i'm
mediately in the sixteen local houses
owned by three interests, and it will
be a war of money against money.
All of the interested parts have mil
lions, and they are going into the
open market bidding for stars. 1t is
expected that every large theatrical
firm in the country will be allied with
some faction.
Members of the profession are pre-
dieting that it means a return to the
fabulous salaries of few years ago.
The war really started over the per-
sonal differences between Nixon and
Zimmerman, Nixon claiming he did
all the work OF the partnership.

H. Williams. Interment in Forest
cemetery. Della Russell Edwards,
daughter of James H. and Amelia Rus.
sell, was born in Jasper county, Iowa,
January 81, 1872, and departed this
life on August II, 1913, her age at
the time of her death being Al years,
months and 81 days. When 16 years
of age she moved with her parents to
Dallas county. On March 20, 1893,
she was married to David M. Edwards.
OF this union was born three children,
Susie ", Paul K and Lois b., who,
together with her husband remain to
mourn. The first years of their mar
ried life were spent at Earlham, Ia,
from which place they moved to Os.
kaloosa in 1895, where they have
since resided, except for four years
spent in the East while the husband
pursued his education in the univer-
sity. She was one of a large family,
number of whom were present for
the funeral. Those present were the
father, J. Fl. Russell, of COlfax; two
brothers, NJ. H. Russell, of Bagley,
Iowa, and J. w. Russell, of Prairie
City, Iowa; and three sisters, Mrs.
Sarah Cotton, of Newton; Mrs. Cums
Smith, of Dexter, and Mrs. Myrtle
Pyne, of Des Moines. Mrs. Edwards
was valued member of the Friends
church. consistent in her life, efficient
in her service, loved and appreciated
by all who knew her. But it was in
the home where the light of the grace
which illuminated her life shone
brightest. She was a companion alike
to her husband and her children, and
wise in the administration of the af.
fairs of her household AS one who
had observed her expressed it, :She
was a good mother-and no greater
word can be spoken" Her last ILL
ness began about the middle of June,
but it was not thought that she was
seriously i'll until some three weeks
before she passed beyond. The all
ment was of such nature as to be
past human help, and while every,
thing that trained physicians and
nurses could do, was done, the dis
ease gradually progressed until she
finally passed away. OF her may
most fittingly be spoken the words OF
Whittier:
Her funeral anthem is a glad evan,
gel
The good die not"
