clearly portrayed. The worlds press
are unanimous in declaring this organist
to be pre- eminent in such descriptive
music as the Storm, in which rain, wind,
thunder and lightning effects are obtain
ed. One English paper states that Mr..
Sellars in this piece obtains the most
remarkable effects ever heard on all or
gan. He completed Worlds Record of
500 recitals, given in direct succession on
the largest organs of Canada and the
United States, on the former tour. The
largest audiences in the history of many
of the larger cities visited have assem-
bled. Comment is frequently made on
the ease which Mr.. Sellars adapts him
self to strange instruments, at times he
never sees the organ until commencing
his recital. He usually plays entirely
from memory, sometimes extemporizing
on themes requested by his audience. A
crowded church is therefore anticipated
Monday evening. Admission 35 cents.
Mr.. Sellars is on his way to open an
organ in Hanover, Pa, and this date is
given US because of his coming this way.

Clarinda, Jan. 16.-There is pros
pect that the Iowa e Southwestern
railroad, short line extending from
Clarinda to Blanchard, built several
years ago by business men of Clar-
india, Blanchard, College Springs and
farmers along the road, may be made
over into an electric line The road
was recently sold at receivers sale
and has not been in operation for
some time. Hf#Jz
Several of the financial and man
aging heads of the Waterloo, Cedar
Falls & Northern Electric railroad
spent seeral days in Clarfnda and
vicinity last week looking over the
property with view of electrifying
it. a#t ,h@
The men were favorably impressed
with the outlook, it is stated, and
with some local financial aid it is said
the deal may be carried out. The
Waterloo men went from here to ST.
Louis to see the officials of the Wa
bash railroad, with whom traffic ar
rangements are necessary to make
the Iowa & Southwestern road a
success. The latter line, during its
operation, proved valuable feeder
for the Wabash road.

THE OTHER SIDE.
Mr.. stumps Gives His Side of Fatted
Calf Story.

Will A. Stump, of the firm of Wells
6, Stump, is of the opinion that F. w.
Reid has been taking undue liberties
with our genial justice of the peace Es-
quire J. w. Laffollette, in relating hap
penings and incidents of field and lane.
Hence he comes back at Mr.. Reid in
the following narrative, for the truth
and variety of which he vouches.
Says Mr.. Stump:
I'VE met Comrade Laffollette, as
Comrade Reid said, who had the mis-
fortune to kill the farmers calf. If it
hadn't been for Comrade Reid inter-
fering and wanting to get at Attorney
fee in settling up for shooting the
calf, which the Comrades had the
misfortune to do in their jack rabbit
hunt, no uoubt they could have gotten
off much easier.
THE case all settled up and the calf
in the Ford truck with the spouting
for Comrade Reid's hog houses, the
trip was continued to the Reid farm.
On the way Comrade Read made the
remark to Comrade Laffollette that
he would show him some fine stock
hogs when he reached the farm.
1--WE drove up to the gate and Com
rade Reid alighted from the Ford
truck to open the gate and we drove
in, and when we came to the hog
houses which we were to spout with
the five hundred feet of spouting
which Comrade Reid said it would
take, the hogs, never having heard
an automobile, were frightened and
started to run, all. trying to get out
of the doors at once and consequent
ly tore down the hog houses, in their
escape from the noise of the Ford
truck. We could not therefore hang
the gutter and we had to'turn around
and start back to the city again, leav-
ing Comrade Reid and a man who lives
on the farm, going down through the
woods calling the hogs, trying to get
them quoted down so that they could
get them back to to the barn lot.
I'm place of being fine lot of Po-
land China Hogs, they we're nothing
but common old Hazel Splitters. Com
rade Laffollette made the remark
That is some more of the snake stor-
les which COmrade Reid has been tel
ling about in referring to the fine
hogs which he has on his place.
The trip was continued back to
The shop, the gutter replaced in it's
bins and we are waiting to receive
the order to go out again to put the
gutter on the hog houses when Com
rAde Iieid gets them rebuilt"

Verdict For Plaintiff,

Montezuma Jan. 16.-The jury in
the trial of the H. N. Spencer VS.. o..

favor of the plaintiff for $1,000 The
suit grew out of the sale of picture
show at Knoxville, which was owned
by Mr.. Butler and operated by his
son-in-law NJ Osman The bust
ness was sold to II. N. Spencer, who
later claimed he had a wrong impress
sion as to the amount of money the
theatre made and brought suit for
$4,000 damages. The defendant as
serted there was no misinformation

A HEAVY FIRE LOSS
osKALoosA SUFFERS SEVERELY
DURING PAST YEAR.

Oskaloosa and her citizens were
victims of more severe fire losses
during the year of 1916 than in any
previous year, the total loss running
up into several hundred thousand dol.
lars. The damage in either the
Penn college or the down town fire,
alone being many times the total loss
Of former years.
January IS, 1916, saw the ruin of
the White Brothers Grocery, at COL
South First street, when an evening
blaze of mysterious origin burned
stock and fixtures of the south side
grocery.
In February came the Bell Cloth.
iers fire. This fire did not destroy
the entire clothing stock, but resulted
in the local clothing firm turning it's
stock valued at $4,000 over to an in
surance firm.
March Is, an early morning blaze
wrecked the First Presbyterian
church building, destroying the inter
ior of the church. The large pipe
organ which had just been repaired
was destroyed.
May 9th, came the most tragic
blaze sustained by Oskaloosa. De-
fective wiring in the third floor set
fire to the main building of Penn
college. The building was an old
structure and the flames soon spread
rapidly. Lack of water pressure pre-
vented the stopping of the flames.
Soon the blaze had burned through
the entire third story. Supports
were burned away and the heavy
metal roof and half ton bell fell,
forcing out the front walls of the
central section of the building. Rob-
ert H. Williams, business manager of
the school, and state chairman of the
Central Prohibition Party committee,
and Henry Oakley, student, were
caught beneath the falling debris and
crushed. Many other students en-
gagged in rescue work narrowly es-
capped death, when the walls fell.
The destruction of PENIS only reel.
tation hall brought about the change
or location ana revival OF the School.
PENIS loss was over one hundred
thousand dollars.
On the morning of December Is. fire
starting in the old frame building
housing the Victor e Turner livery
barn destroyed the structure and
spread to all adjacent buildings. Lack
of help caused the sounding of gen
eral alarm calling for assistance. The
blaze spread rapidly until the new
Beadle building and Eagles lodge
home were burned A call for help
was sent to neighboring cities and
Ottumwa and Grinnell answered with
thrilling overland drives, coming to
aid Oskaloosa stop confiagration
which threatened the entire business
district. Shifting winds spread the
