How Word Came.


/ Ross Brown of the NJ. & st. L. rail.
way dispatchers office was among the
first in town to receive the joyous an.
nouncement of the signing of the ar,
mistice. Ross heard the news going
over the Associated Press wire. He
called Warren Kalbach, president OF

phone. Warren took measures to veri.

ringing and crowd of people who had
been aroused by phone in the interim

that did justice to the occasion and in
this manner, Oskaloosa started the
celebration Of the coming of peace in
a particularly appropriate way.

gathered at the base of the tower sang
in unison. Then came the selections,

My Maryland"
Next, the crowd went after the fire
bell and the deep throated tones OF
the alarm went forth to arouse any
who had possibly not heard the play
ing of the chimes and the blowing OF
the whistles. From this introduction
developed the great demonstration.
The morning was perfect. The sky
was clear, and the stars glowed with
a peculiar brightness. The air was
cold and crisp. More perfect weather
conditions could not have been made
to order for the occasion.
Doctor L. A. Rodgers was among
others to receive the first announce
ment of the news by telephone from
Des Moines. The doctor also took
measures to verify the correctness and
authenticity of the report. He also was
