stated that 70 American soldiers and
truck drivers are held prisoners at the

have retaliated by assaulting some
Mexican officials who came across the
line. In retaliation fof these assaults,

ICE CREAM Is UNKNOWN

Would Pay Well For a Dish.

j. l.. Milligan is in receipt of let
ter from B. p. Barnhart, Of Seoul, Ko-
rea, in which he states that under
Separate cover he is sending him
specimens of the candy which they
arc able 10 get here. Mr.. Barnhart
states that they also can get milk
chocolates and jelly beans which are
shipped from America, and that ice
cream is unknown to all except mis-
sionaries, and only known to them in
remembrance.
Pat says he would gladly hand
out ten dollar bill if u could sit
down at the Green Candy Company
fountain and let a real Oskaloosa
sundae trickle down my throat"
He also says that the Young Mems
Christian Association there is doing
splendid work A new wing of the
building has just been opened for
physical and boys work of which he
has charge. The Bible classes have
an average weekly attendance Of 100,
while the lectures and musicals and
stereopticon programs never fail to
bring a packed house. The weekly
attendance in the physical activities
varies from $50 to 100.
The letter was written on August
9th, and after travelling about six
weeks reached Mr.. Milligan. AS yet
the box of candy has not arrived, and

some one else has enjoyed the "spcci-
mems"

WATER BILLS ARE PAID.
Money Withheld on Account of Pres
sure is Turned Over

Claims OF the Peoples Water Com
pany for a total amount of $10,9Sl,9S
were allowed in full Tuesday even
ing by the city council. This with
out the consideration of counter
claims for failure to provide adequate
fire pressure during the period COW
cred by these claims.
The matter of the adjustment of
the claim for water rentals against
the city was referred to the water
committee, Bell, Pickett and Fan
sher, by Monday evenings council.
This committee met at the city hall
to canvass the claims and the count
er claims. 1t appears that the rec
ord of the water pressure taken at
the fire department station shows de-
ficiency of pressure at times covered
by the claims of the company. Some
of the committee were in favor of
deducting the fine of $250.0J for nine
delinquencies or for at least five times
where the pressure was not up to
franchise requirements. The COM
mittee oculd not agree, however, and
went to the council session at eight
o'clock to throw the whole matter
open to discussion before the council.
Motion to allow the total claim of
the Water Company was carried.
Messrs. Bell, Penders, Pickett and
Snyder voted aye,-in favor, and
Councilmen Fansher, Kessler and
Mendenhall voted no.
Motion by Fansher to amend the
original motion allowing the claim
and make it consider the counter
claim OF the city charging for certain
fines against the Water Company was
voted down by the same division that
carried the original motion and so
the matter now stands.
Sidewalks were assessed and Ger
tain other detail, tax matters, etc,
received attention and the mectin
adjourned.

LAWYERS i RAISE PICS
Burrell And Dewitt Capture Prem
iumS at the Fair

Burrel & Dewitt of OskaIoOsa are
known as a law firm, tut that the
boys are engaged in fancy stock rails
ing has not vet been spread abroad.
Fact Is, however, that Burrcll & Dc
witt, lawyers are also in the business
of raising Duroc.Jersey hogs and sew
eral other strains of nice stock and
also, the fact obtains that they have
some of the choicest animals of the
red hog" class to be seen any where
selected with greatest care and raised
from the best strain of the Duroc-Je err
sey stock obtainable in the land.
BurreH & Dewitt made six entries in
the Duroc-Jersey class at the South
ern Iowa Fair and took four pre-
miums as follows:
Second on boar under six months,
and three firsts over all other entries
and competition on SOW, under six
months; also boar and SOW pigs I'M
der six months and produce of SOW.
1t so happened that the compositor
who set the premium list thought that
stock raising was so foreign to the
law BUSINESS that the reporter who
wrote the name of the law firm of
Burrell & Dewitt opposite a premium
taken on hogs must be in error and
he therefore omitted the paragraph
from the premium list, Hence the
name of Burrell e Dewitt was mad
vertantly omitted from the report of
the Duroc-Jersey winnings in Tues
day evenings Herald.
