BACK FIRE IN FLUE
CausesConsternatiou at the HedIund

Back Firing" of a SCOT filled fue
into the basement of the Hedlund and
Larson grocery, No. 422 High avenue
West, called for help from the fire de-
partment about 1890 o'clock this af.
ternoon. Burning SCOT dropped into a
pile of merchandise including some
straw hats and a nasty little blaze was
started in the basement store room
which contained a considerable am.
cunt of merchandise in storage
Fire was discovered when the smoke
began making it's way through cracks
in the floor. Immediate investigation
revealed the fire in progress. When
the fire boys arrived they made short
work of the trouble and the blazing
merchandise was hustled out of the
building, owned by H. H. Sheriff and
only a small amount of merchandise
destroyed or damaged.
Another fire occurred at the store
Saturday night when customer
dropped box of matches upon the
floor. The jar was sufficient to kindle
the striking composition and the whole
box went up in flash making consid-
cradle smoke and blaze but fire did
not get to anything else.

WHY NOT A CITY PARK
In Connection With the Fair Grounds
Now Proposed.

Along with the proposition to re-
habilitate the Mahaska County Fair
property, comes the proposition, why
not have a general city park and
amusement place" on the grounds,
under city direction? In other words,
make the fair grounds a public park.
AS a fair ground property the place
would be required only a week or
two during the year. What is to be
done with it the remainder OF the
time? Why not make it 4 place of
general public amusement and enter
tainment? A skating pond could be
made one of the features of the prop
erty, and other uses given the grounds
summer and winter.
Oskaloosa has now no other ground
suitable nor of sufficient extent to
accommodate a large tented attrac
ton, a circus. We have no place for
carnival other than the. streets OF
the town, and the property owners
will not again consent to that sort OF
thing.
lC IdlI SiOuhu pIOFiuC5 amply
room for these things and the city
should have charge. -,
Now how can the city an fair as
sociation get together upon this prop
osition? r. ID. Walton, chairman oil
the Fair organization committee, went
before the council session Monday ev
ening to propose something Of the
kind. Members of the council eX
pressed their approval of the plan OF
the proposition for the city to have a
park and all acknowledge the neCes
sity existing for something of this
character, but how to get at the mat
ter is a hard nut to crack. The city
council is impressed. however, and is
minded to do something in the direC
ton Members met at the city hal
at three o'clock this afternoon to &c
to the fair grounds and look over the
proposition. They returned to the
city hall and held caucus on the sub
ject looking toward action of some
kind Thursday evening.
