POLICE SEEK MURDER Trail
Find Is Second of the Kind in Short
Period-Place Believed to Be
Haunt of New York Thugs
and Murderers.

New York.-On the site of an old
farmhouse in Canarsie, where police
records show that one man was shot
and killed, workmen digging an ex-
cavation found recently the skeleton
of q man who had been wounded and
buried alive more than two years ago,
according to DR.. Charles WueSt, cor
oner's physician. This is the second
skeleton found on the premises since
the excavating began.
Because after the killing there the
place was known as the Haunted
Farm" and none dared go near it, es-
pecially at night, the police believe
that wholesale murders have been
committed and bodies brought to the
spot for burial by band. The ground
will be thoroughly excavated under
police surveillance.
The skeletons were found at what is
now Hegeman avenue and Powell
street. Morris Plum and Samuel
Block, laborers, were digging there
when their picks struck barrel about
eight feet below the surface of the
ground. They excavated it and found
that it was heavy when they started
to lift it. "It's buried treasure, may
be-" Block said, breaking in the bar
rel head with his pick. To his horror
he saw the skeleton partly clothed
in what had once been a blue serge
suit.
Infants Shoes in Barrel.
Captain Carey of the Seventh
branch detective bureau, was sum-
mOned and the body in the barrel was
taken to the morgue. There it was
examined and the police found pair
of infants shoes, newspaper clippings
and q memorandum.
The body had been damned into the
barrel, but the legs and arms had so
shifted that the physician said the
murdered man must have been alive
and may have regained consciousness

i am Of the opinion that | could lick
Jess willard, II they'd, tie him down
in, his corner and give me sledge-
hammer Apparently that is the
Registers idea of fair fight. 1t
isn't mine.
Harding is known in Sioux City as
a good lawyer, a capable. public Off
Ger and real human being. Peo-
pie who know him little are for him.
People who know him a lot are for
him Vail the stronger. And among
these are lot of people who have no
hse for liquor. Much of the cutlery
against him seems to come from
well-meaning but highly-opinionate
individuals who know someone who
knows someone else who heard some
one hint that Harding is an ogre.
That sort of stuff is bunk, and it
ought to disgust anyone who is a real
American. A CLOSE up view of
Harding would dispel a lot of these
fool notions.

Will Measure II by % Inches and
Contain 231 Names.

Printing the ballots for the 1916
election is something of a job, requir.
ing time and material. The ballot will
be sheet measuring 81 inches wide
and % inches in length. 1t will accom-,
modate six general tickets, republi-
can. democratic, progressive, social

To satisfy the requirements of the
la" twelve thousand ballots must be
printed, official and sample ballots.
Twelve reams of paper, measuring %

the $4,000 ballots. Each sheet of paper
makes two ballots. Each ballot re-
quires two Impressions. front and back
making a total of impressions double
the number of ballots or twenty-four
thousand.
This might not be an extraordinary
run If the work could be done with
out stops but each and every township
has it's own particular ticker, which
must be, printed on the ballot and a
stated number of ballots printed for
each, making necessary twenty-four
or more changes.
About one week will be required to
print, check and count the ballots.
In addition to the regular ballot

BALLOTS WILL Be BIG WORK ON HIGH SCHOOL
Board of Education Trying to Solve
Building Problem.

To the Public:-A copy of the re-
port and recommendation published
in the Herald of Tuesday, Oct II, by
the committee composed of Warren
Kalbach, w. r. lacey Q. f. Lofland,
J. R. McGregor, r. R. McCurdy and
R. D. Walton, was submitted in writ
ing to the Board of Education about
four months ago. These recommend
atoms were received by the Board in
good faith, and a nearnest effort has
been made by the Board in their at
tempt to carry them out. During
the month of July, eight or ten of the
best school architects in this country
were invited to submit sketches
showing how they could add to the
present High School building in such
a way as to meet the needs of Oska-
loosa for the time being and the i'm
mediate future. Only two of these
architects submitted sketches. The
Board has received one other sketch
from an architect not on the list of
those requested to confer with the
Board OF the three sketches sub
mitted, only one seemed to present a
reasonable solution of the problem.
The architect preparing this sketch
estimated the cost of erecting the adj
dition at $4,000 to $4,000.
The members of the Commercial
Clubs Committee were invited to
meet with the Board of Education and
go over the one desirable sketch with
the architect. This conference took
place a few days ago. At this con.
ference, two of the members of the
Commercial Clubs Committee re.
quested an opportunity to see more
detailed sketches and elevations be-
The Board of Education directed the
architect to prepare the sketches and
elevations as per the request of these
two gentlemen. The architect was
in Oskaloosa all day Monday and
Tuesday making measurements about
the building, and securing information
about the lot levels from the City En-
gineer. He expects to have his
work ready for the consideration of
the Board within a very few days.

already remodeled one house and
next spring will begin the erection of
another that will be model in every

In all of this work, Oskaloosa has
contributed to a large degree in the
supply of materials and in many
cases the labor of our mechanics,
plumbing and heating, painting and
decorating as we'll as mason work
have made demands on the labor and
supplies that Oskaloosa have to offer
and this interchange of our prosperity
and the exchange of our mutual In
terests works to the decided advant-
age of both localities and continually
emphasizes the idea that all of us are
working for the growth and develop
ment of Mahaska county.
