of the Leagues OF the entire state.
Here is case of another Oskaloosa
boy making good. CHA. Werlich, who
was recently appointed assistant Gen
eral Freight Agent of the M. & st
l.. r. r. made his start as railroad
employee in Oskaloosa in 1888 and
after remaining here for two years
was transferred to Marshalltown and
promoted to the General auditing de.
partment of the old Iowa Central r
r. and in 1892 was made Rate clerk
in the General Freight office. At the
time of the consolidation in 1905 he
went to Minneapolis as the Chief
Clerk in the General Freight Depart.
ment and so his promotion now is but
the natural result Of his success.
William II. Shaw and brother John
Shaw departed today via the M. & st.
L. and the Burlington route at Abba
for an extended trip to the west and
south. They stop at Denver and Color
ado Springs before going to Palisades
where they will visit their younger
brother Solomon. Salt Lake City will
be the next stop and then on to San
Francisco and Los Angeles where they
expect to spend several weeks with
their brother George. Enroute home
they will stop at Ell Paso, Texas and
may view the cantonment at Deming
New Mexico. They will visit third
brother, Levi Shaw at Grannis, Arkan-
sas and come home, some time in Oc-
tober via Kansas City.
Colfax Clipper: Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh
Mccoy of Oskaloosa were guests at
Hotel Colfax for several days, depart
ing Monday. He is of the law firm of
Mccoy & Mccoy, sons of Judge Ben
Mccoy, one of the "old wheel horses
of Iowa Republicanism. The Clipper
will always have a glad hand" for
the McCoys. When the Johnsons ar
rived in "the state of Mahaska" from
1.-The hills of Ohio" in 1864, we met
James Mccoy and family and Samuel
Harlan, father of ex-president of Cor
nell, and family and this friendship
thus formed has never dimmed. The
elder Mccoy of the above law firm
and L. E. Johnson were comrades in
arms in the Spanish American war
and made the Philippine campaign to-
gether, so, we say, here's to the Nc
Coys.
Eldora Herald: MANY of the older
residents of the county and of Eldora
will remember w. A. Greer, the first
editor of the Eldora Herald. Mr.. Greer
recently came into prominence
the issuing of book, "A Boy
on the Plains and in the Rockies" Mr..
Greer is now resident OF Washington
D. C. After leaving Eldora Mr.. Greer
moved to Oskaloosa, being elected
grand chancellor of the Knights of
r ythias of Iowa, and later resided in
st. Paul, where he held an editorial
position with the West Publishing
Company, going from there to the
treasury department in Washington.
The plot for the book is laid and
based on Mr.. Greer's early experiences
in Hardin county. The volume is ar
tistically bound and is of peculiar in
terest locally because of the authors
long residence in Eldora."
