Gently bought the Frank Tout proper.
ty on A avenue east, have organized
real estate firm in Oskaloosa. Both

Harry Cartwright who has farm
in Story county near Story City, was
in town last week relative to an eX-
change of interests that will likely
make him and his sister residents of

class of people or more progressive
set of business men than were In Os-

Washington Journal: A. ]. Bens-
miller, of Oskaloosa, H. Richie, of
Cedar and Mr.. Brubaker, of Stark, all
real estate men. of Mahaska county,
autoed here to-day calling on ]. F.
II. Taylor. These gentlemen are all
very much delighted with Washington
and speak in high, praise. of the excel
lent modern improvements of our city,
of it's splendid schools, its churches,
facilities and it's surrounding
country.
Of a gentleman, we'll known in Os-
kaloosa, brother of Mrs. c. c. Shep-,
pard, the Keosauqua Republican says:
Rev. Lloyd Tenant, formerly an NJ.
E. pastor of this county, but for some
two years deputy warden at the state
prison at FIT. Madison, handed in his
resignation there last week. His ac-I
ton, we understand, was due to the
recent REDUCTION in the guard force
from sixty-two to thirty-eight men.
With over COO convicts to be guarded
by only SO men Raw, Tenant regards
the situation dangerous, and he mol
doubt has good ground for basing this
opinion. II has been demonstrated
that it is an easy matter to knock a.
crown off of he head of a Car and it
is more than probable that this fact
has been noted by prison populations
as we'll as by other peoples whose
liberties are restrained. Monarchical
subjects for instance.
