Mahaska county Republicans met
in delegate convention at the court
room Saturday morning at eleven
O'Clock pursuant to the provisions of
the new presidential preference pri.
mary law, delegates ceytified by the

IS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
C.E Newiin Has Proved a Problem
to Local Authorities.

Charles Everett Newlin, who has
been under the supervision of the
commissioners of insanity of this
city for the past few days, was taken
to Mt. Pleasant this morning at
1920 o'clock over the c., r. |. & P.
Mr.. Newlin has been up before the
commissioners and not being able to
make complete finding as to his in
sanity, they sent for the son, who
arrived yesterday, and would have
taken his father home With him. Mr..
Newlin refused to accompany the
son, and began suit yesterday morn
ing, and had a petition out to sue a
number of local people who testified
against him at the. hearing a few days
ago. and others who have been instru-
mental in bringing the action about.
There seemed to be nothing left for
the authorities to do but to commit
the man to the hospital for treat
ment, and he was taken this morning,
under protest. w. T. Martin, clerk
of the courts, has refused to sign the
finding of the commissioners, believ-
ing that the man is not fit subject
for the hospital, and he could not con-
sCientiously send him there.

across the street and moved directly
in front of the car when it was only
few yards distant and no chance
to stop, or swerve.
Mr.. McVey says it was quite dark
at the place. lie saw something like
a shadow appear before his car and
then came crash and he knew he
had hit someone or something. He
stopped as soon as possible at the

NEW HEALTH OFFICER
DR.. Roberts of Harvard University
H.. Called to oskaloosa.

DR.. B. D. Roberts, student of Har-
ward university, and a specialist in
the line of public health, bacteri-
.ologist and patholOgist, has been APP
pointed health physician of Oska-
loosa, succeeding DR.. A. L. Wash
burn resigned. DR.. Roberts will
take up the work as soon as he can
arrive upon the scene which will be
early in June
Appointment of the new health
physician was authorized and APP
proved at a special meeting of the
Board of Health held Friday evening
at the council chamber
Understanding that opposition to
the appointment of an Out-of.town
man existed among local physicians,
and that the employment of local tai
ent was favored, the Board of Health
called in the physicians of the city to
learn, first hand, of the opinion of the
doctors.
Expression of the physicians was
unanimous in favor of continuing the
health department of Oskaloosa as
1t is, in the hands of man giving the
department his undivided time and
attention, rather than dividing the
WORK and giving it to local physi-
clans. Strong talks were made by
representative physicians of the city
and each and every one of the men
stood in defense of the health depart
ment, displayed their loyalty and
their cOlors and stood ready to fight
for the health department as organ
lied.
One speaker said, We pay five
thousand dollars annually for our po-
lice department, for the sake of safe
guarding the public and rights Of
property. How much more import
ant is the public health and we give
only $4,000 per year and the coun-
Gil raises noise when a bit of. new
equipment is asked for. Nothing is
said, however, when in the minds of
the officials extra police are deemed
necessary
Some suggestions were voiced by
the doctors present and the meeting
was deeply interesting Not since |
have been a councilman" said one of
the members, have / heard more
good common sense offered at q meet
ing than has been given here to-
night"
Physicians speaking were Doctors
Fred j. Jarvis. Jay G. Roberts, l.. A.
Rodgers, Fred L. Barnes, w. S. Win
die, M. Childress, E. Marsh Williams,
S. w. Clark, and others.
Members of the council told of the
intentions of the council toward the
department, that the administration
had only been DESTROYS of learning of
the thought and intent of the physi-
clans relative to the health physician
appointment.
Doctor Roberts is a young man,
just completing his collegiate work,
but he comes highly recommended
by Doctor Mark F. Boyd, Oskaloosa' S
first health physician, and by Doctor
Rosseneau, under whom he has
worked.

HOG CHOLERA LECTURE
Sixty or More Raisers Hear DIR.
Jay of Ames.

Doctor Jay of the State College at
Ames is being sent here and there
through the state by the fedral gov
ernment giving lectures upon hog
cholera, its origin, history, treatment,
cure and prevention. The first adj
dress was at East Center school, on
Friday evening, and the school room
was filled with sixty or more hog
owners, some of whom came from a
distance as far away as Middle Creek
to hear the lecture. No one was out
for the afternoon meeting and no lee
ture was given. ~
The talk was of greatest practical
benefit and of deepest interest for
all concerned. DIR. Jay was a never
failing source of information and re-
piled in detail to many questions. He
Illustrated the subject mater of his
talk with stereOpticon pictures and
gave instances of his personal exper-
fence in his field of work. He held
the closest attention of his big audi
ence from first to last and when he
had completed the address the inter.
ested stock raisers would not let
him off. but kept plying him with
questions until almost midnight.
1t is understood that other lectures
will be given in the county by the
doctor at later date.

cision made and drain tube inserted,
He rallied from the operation but 1t
was too late. and he passed away at
IL: 45 o'clock. He was conscious UP to
the time when the anesthetic was ad-
ministered, and whom leaving the
home asked his mother not to cry J for
he would he home in two weeks, we'll
and happy; and he did not realize
that his illness was so dangerous. y
