PRINCESS CHOPS DOWN TREES
Alice OF Greece Does II to Keep Her
self In Fit Physical Con-
ditlon.

Villa Mon Repos, Corfu, Greece
The Princess Alice of Greece, who was
the English Princess Alice of Batten-
berg, has spent the past summer chop
ping down trees to keep herself fit.
The Princess Alice is thirty, cousin
of the Queen of Spain. Shortly she
will take her children back to Athens
for the winter season and give up fell
ing trees to begin again her work of
encouraging the Greek women to earn
their own living by home sewing-the
Princess Alice's own particular hobby.
The two eldest little girls, Princess
Marguerite and Princess Theodore,
eleven and ten respectively, are as
brown as their mother and as strong,
though they have not been chopping
every day for an hour and half in
the warm translucent water of the Cor
fiji Channel. Prince Andrews wife
herself is fine, strong swimmer now,
but it has not been a long time since
Sheldon Whltehouse, who was then
secretary of the American legation,
pulled her out of the water and saved
her life when she had gone down three
times. ''
The villa of Mon Repos, the sum-
mer place of Prince Andrew al the
Princess Alice, was the favorite coun-
try residence of the late King George,
who left it to his third son, but I'M
fortunately he failed to leave the
means to keep it up.
Prince Andrew is colonel of cav
airy reglment-nOt lucrative en-
ployment. Princess Alice also is not
rich, and the pair, who for royalties
are poor as church mice, have four
children, all girls, sad prospect these
days when Europe Is full of royal
girls and short of royal boys to marry
them.

New Member of Committee,

Des Moines, ec.18.-Senator John
NJ Lindley of Winfield was elected
to the democratic state central COM
mittee from the First district to
succeed the late A. E. Johns of Fort
Madison at a meeting of the state
committee held yesterday afternoon
at the Kirkwood hotel.
1t was decided by the committee
that the contest of the election of
George c. Scott of Sioux City, who
defeated Congressman T. j. Steele
for reelection from the Eleventh
district, will be supported by the
democratic party of the state and
carried through to a definite con-
clusion. SCOTS plurality of less
than 200 votes has led Steele's
friends to believe that sufficient error
can be found by recount to assure
his reelection.

The Annual Tax Sale,

At the annual Treasurers Tax Sale
held IN the office of County Treasure
Graham there were so pieces of prop
erty offered. There were 125 pieces

tised were sold on Monday morning,
the sale amounting to $1,475.52 which

Mount Ayr, Dec. 1s.-"Play that

local restaurant few days ago, as
the Victrola finished playing When
You and l Were Young. Maggie"
Yesterday his prophecy came
true, when a beam weighing APP
proximately five tons, fell upon him
and crushed out his life.
John Roberts was one of the most
picturesque persons in this part OF
the state. His hair and long flow
ing beard were snow white; his
face, ruddy and unwrinkled; hii
physique, that of an athlete. Eighty
seven years old, he stood 6 feet
inches in his stocking feet ant
weighed 220 pounds.
Roberts made his living by NOV
ing buildings and was on his way tt
a Job when the accident occurred
which cost him his life.- The Wagon

with about six tons of material
and while going down a Hill The
coupling pin broke and the larges

TRAFFIC WAS tied UP
TWO DEPARTMENTS ON EAST
DIVISION M. G. ST. L.

NJ. & st. L. passenger business
along the eastern division between
Oskaloosa and Peoria, H., was in
terrupted yesterday and today by
the blocking of the right of way by
derailments. An engine straddled
the rails at Keithsburg, H., Sunday,
and when the wrecking crew was
dispatched to set the locomotive on
the tracks, the wrecking outfit
jumped the tracks and tore up sew
eral hundred feet of tracks between
South d street and South Second
street. The progress of the train
was stopped near South Second
street and the main line blocked at
this point. The engine was turned
sideways, at right angles to the
track, while the wrecking outfit
graced the ditch at the side of the
line. A coal car had nosed itself
alongside the locomotive. Although
the derailment has made an ugly
mess to straighten up, the road is in
deed thankful that no loss OF life re-
suited. No one was injured. M. &
st. l.. train No. 10 due in Oskaloosa
at 11.40 p. m. from Peoria, ILL.,, was
forced to stop and unload passengers
at South Eleventh street crossing.
Before the train could be turned and
again headed for Peoria, the pas
senger was backed to Hedrick. Iowa,
and turned on the Hedrick Y, and
then basked into Oskaloosa. The
M. & st. L. accommodating its pa
tions, provided three busses to con.
vey the passengers from the station
on High avenue west to South
Eleventh street where they boarded
the train and made their departure.

At Nice the guardian of the Gene

mayor refused to accept such a name,
as being contrary to the law. The

MORE FIRE EQUIPMENT
AN ENGINE MAY BE PURCHASED
BY THE CITY.

Oskaloosa city council convened in
regular mid-month session Monday
evening and adjourned to meet
again Thursday evening, December
81, to hear report of special commit
tee appointed to investigate the pur-
chase of new fire equipment.
A committee of representative men,
property owners, taxpayers and citi-
zens, was present at the session.
Attorney George c. True, secretary
of the Commercial Club, was ap-
pointed as spokesman for the COM
pany. This assemblage of property
holders demanded of the city coun-
Gil the purchase of adequate fire
equipment with which to combat
danger of confiagration and to pro-
vide protection for property against
any repetition of the disaster of Fri
day morning last. The hazard of
accident between Oskaloosa city and
the pumping station four and a half
miles distant is far too great, and
this committee before the council
was but an expression of the senti-
ment of the people of the sity.
Moreover they ask that action be
taken Immediately, not after a
while, next week, next month, or
next year, but now!
Talks on the subject of fire pro.
lection and apparatus. a bumper"
that will furnish pressure at the scene
of the fire. Something to be de.
pended upon at all times, were in
dulged by numerous members of the
party: Messrs. True, r. M. Boyer, w.
