NOT OUR ROY WORKMAN
Similarity Of Names Causes Alarm
Among Friends

Two people bearing the same name
caused quite a little confusion in os-
kaloosa yesterday when a message
came to the city stating that Roy
Workman was killed at o'clock at
Adair, Iowa, in, an automobile acct
dent. d Roy Workman is known to ev-
cry one in Oskaloosa, having been
manager of the Masonic opera house
for a couple of seasons and having
been connected with the local post
Office for some. time, Rumors start
ed out, and of course every one
thought that it was the Roy Workman
of the opera house, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Workman of this city.
Mrs. Workman was excited of course,
but when matters were all sifted
down, it was found that there was a
Roy Workman Killed at Adair, in an
automobile accident. He has a
cousin, Miss Dena Loher, attending
Penn college, and the message was
sent to her. The name is not
one, hence the confusion.

what that trade is. This investment of
over half million dollars has been
made at the enge of the city of Oska-

on the part of the city or Mahaska
county for financial aid. The institu-
tion therefore presented to the Com
mersial Club the proposition of solicit
tation in the city of Oskaloosa and
Mahaska County, a fund of ten thous-
and dollars, payable in the next five
years, two thousand dollars each year
for the general fund of the institution
The Oskaloosa Commercial Club af-
ter discussion, passed a resolution in
dorsing the campaign, believing it to
be to the best interests of the city of
Oskaloosa to have said school main

Of this community. The institution will
arrange it's campaign and there will
be solicitors in the field at an early
late and the citizens of Oskaloosa and
Mahaska county should contribute
literally to this worthy cause.

CAMPAIGN. FOR FUNDS
For the support of Central Holiness
University

For several years prior to 1905, a
number of residents of Mahaska Coun

ers Interested in the movement iocat-
ed in different states, conceived the
idea of establishing the Central Holt
ness University for the purpose of edu-
eating young men and women at a
nominal cost and around whom could
be thrown the influence OF religious
life. This idea SO conceived and for
mulated, eliminated in 1905 in the
purchase of farm adjoining the city
Of Oskaloosa, Iowa, of approximately
two hundred acres of land and in the
course of about three years a dormi-
tory and college buildings were erect
ed thereon at an approximate cost of
quarter of a million dollars. Around
this institution has been built the
homes of five hundred people and the
place for the purposes of mail was in
corporated into what is known as the
town of University Park
The institution is located at the
edge Of the city limits OF Oskaloosa
and is connected with it by street
car line. The only business establish
ment in the community is a small gro
Gerry store and this was established
solely for the convenience and immed.
