Be EARLY ON GROUND
Remember that First Impressions
Are Usually Most Lasting.

The Fall Festival comes on apace,
and with good weather, OskaloOsa
will entertain thousands of visitors,
1t is not the idea of the Festival to
make it a season of business, and
yet many who come to town on one
or more of the four days will take
advantage of the opportunities to
buy fall and winter goods of various
descriptions. 1t therefore behOoyes
our business houses to let the peo-
pie of the surrounding territory know
what they have to offer, and they
should do so at the earliest convent
ent time. At the last minute people
will not take the time to read adver-
Using matter. They will have their
minds made up before. In this con-
nection we wish to call attention to
the fact that there will be six issues
of the Daily Herald and two issues
of the Weekly Herald that will get
into the hands of subscribers and
readers in good season to do the adj
vertiser a lot of good. But do not
wait until the last issue, when things
begin to get complicated. Begin
early. Tell them next Monday and
Tuesday, what they may see in your
store and what they can buy it for
the next week. Early impressions
are always more lasting.

M. & St. L. Freight Train Wrecked
Between Rockwell and Sheffield.

The M. & st. l.. seem to be having
some very serious trouble and bad
luck in the last two days. This morn
ing the through freight No. 50 jumped
the track between Rockwell and Shelf
field and many cars were burned up
as a result of an explosion of an oil
car in the train. II was rumored that
tramp had been killed in the wreck
but so far that report has not been
confirmed No other personal acct
dents are reported. The fire burned
out all telegraph and telephone lines
so the local offices have received no
particulars and what may be consid
ell ed reliable information. AS soon as
the word of the wreck was received
orsdrs were wired to Ackley to stop
No. "a and send the locomotive over
to Rockwell to pull away as much of
the rear of the train as possible. IA
was the only live train in that vicinity
and was caught pulling out of Ackley
This accident forced No. to de
tour over the C. r. |. & p. tracks for
the cars were burning steadily and
the fire was too hot to permit the
building of track around the wreck
Leaving the NJ. & st. L. right of way
at Manly and going over the Rock
Island to VintOn thence back to the
M & St. L. at Abbott No. was forced
to pull in here nearly two hours and
half late.
Yesterday No. 6 was derailed near
Mason City and did not arrive here
until four O'Clock in the afternoon, be
side being late, caused No. 10 to be
four hours late and No. 8 going north
to be twenty minutes late.

Charles K. Needham Has Had
Enough of California.

Montezuma Republican: c. K.
Needham, former editor of the Re-

from SigOurney, where he arrived a
few days previous from California.
He is looking as fat and sauCy as
when he left, having neither gained
nor lost a pound. {. K. spent nearly
two ytars in the Golden State, watch

sIant-eyeG Nippons buTro in Chink-
town. he rode around in a BLEW
lex" car looking at scenery, snow
capped mountains and bathers on the
beach below with little on except a
determined look.
He took in the two eXpositions,
had a grand time and slept the sleep
of peace guarded by a silvery moo.
and awakened by the low wash of a
peaceful oceans waves. But ever
time he opened his glimmers, G.. il
says he realized that scenery in the
mountains on the beach and climatic
change were not mediums of eX
change for shoes or clothes. Iowa
he says, looked good to him from
afar, so good that he left Mrs. Need
ham at Los Angeles with her sister
Mrs. Dewey and husband, while he
made record sprint for home. Mrs
Needham will return in a few days.
He spent some hard cash in those
two years, but was able to do 1t. Now
he says he is back in Iowa and will
cling to her old escutcheon like .

He has no settled plans, but we opine
will be back in the newspaper game
ere long, a profession in which he
made a name and money for many

PROBE MYSTERIOUS MURDER
Man and Wife Found Dead in Sum.
mer Cottage at Pucaway
Lake, Wisconsin.

Princeton, Wis, Sept. 27.-Local
authorities here are probing in the
case of the cottage at Lake Pucka-
way, where Capt. Mueller and his
wife were found murdered Saturday.
They are seeking for some clew in
one of Wisconsin's most terrible of
murder cases.
District Attorney Charles Kelley
insists that Capt. Mueller murdered
his wife and carried her body into
the cottage and then set fire to the
place before killing himself.
DR.. VIM. Cronin, a famous surgeon
and particular friend of the murdered
persons does not believe Mr.. Kel-
ley's theory. He does not believe
that Capt. Mueller soaked his wife's
body with kerOnCsG and fired the cot
tage and to prove this he showed the
kerosene can to be entirely filled.
Still District Attorney Kelley be-
leVes it was murder and suicide,
either because o. jealousy or a quar-.
