COPHERS AND WOLVES
Cost Mahaska County Nearly $4,000
in Six Months.

During the six months just past
from January l to July /, Mahaska
county paid out 81 ,936O5 for the ex.
termination of wolves, ,rattlesnakes,
gophers and ground hogs. This
would seem to indicate that nearly
four thousand dollars is spent every
year by the county in an effort TO
get rid of these pests.
By far the greater portion of this
money was paid out as bounty on
gophers. 1t seems almost unbeliey-
able that 1868 gophers were killed
in the county during the past six
months, but that was the number
brought into the office of the county
auditor, and their slayers were paid
a total of 81, 663.30 Wolves also fig.
ured largely in the bounty money, 8
old ones and ID young ones killed,
and $2l2 was paid out as bounty on
them. There We're 239 ground hogs
slain, their bounty amounting to
$59.75, and rattlesnakes were ex-
terminated, bringing the man who
killed them 81.
The bounty on old wolves is $40
each and young ones bring 81. Each
rattle snake is worth soc ON the
county market, each ground hog
25c and gopher l0c.

CHAUTAUQUA LOOMS UP
The 1914 Assembly Next Big Event
On Local Calender.

Booklets are being distributed
which give full details regarding the
talent and attractions of the coming
Oskaloosa Chautauqua. On the dates
August 18th to 2lst, will be held the
tenth annual session of this popular
enterprise. 1t is now full grown as
Mahaska county institution and
having passed ten years of life, 1T is
not only beyond the age of an expert
ment, but is yearly reaching out for
larger and better things for the bene-
fit of the people. The Oskaloosa
Chautauqua enjoys a wide reputation
far beyond its own borders and has
reached a point where 1t can and
does demand the best
1t has been said that more than
half of pleasure is in anticipation and
when we contemplate the feast OF
musical and literary talent offered
this year, we foresee a most success
ful seaso min prospect. AS compared
with previous years, the star features
of program are indeed exceptional.
Every day is red letter day of ur1us-
ual merit. See what a bouquet Of
talent we have in music: Madame
Alice Nelson, The Kuehn Concert
Co, Albert's Octette, the Thatcher
Opera Co., The Williams Jubilee Co..
and the popular Delano's Marine
Band. A cluster like this is in itself
an attraction which is irresistible.
The literary features are fully as

here, as booklets give all needed in
but when we consider that
Iowa supports more chautauquas than
any other state in the union and that
AMONG these the Oskaloosa chautau-
qua stands in the forefront as secur-
ing the best talent available, there
seems no excuse for lack of CO
operation by the people. In fact, CO.
operation and the faithful support OF
the people during the past ten years
Is what has placed the chautauqua
where 1t is today.
All OF this talent has been secured
by ironbound contracts and they are
bound to appear as far as Oskaloosa
Is concerned. During the past we
have had some disappointments, but
very few compared with the exper.
ences of other places. Here again,
we are favored in having careful
and judicious management and the
