An Abut. —I)r. Jennie McOowen, of
Davenport, says In lowa eighty thous
and women are drawing salaries in all
branches of labor. Bro. Sage says:
-One of Lbeee days this great body of
workers, many of whom are tax-payers,
will have representation in tbe govern
ment to which they are subject.**
Rkoulate tiie Charge.—A Bell
telephone costs to manufacture #3 42,
and earns for that corporation in ten
years a trifle over 9178. How’s that
lor percentage of profit Y Still the com
panies want the extortionate charge of
gSO to #4O per year for the use of tbe
instrument. * Regulate tbe blessing!
Fibe.—A fire yesterday morning
destroyed tbe center frame building op
posite Herald block, occupied by a

1% caught in eecond story and was under
T good bmd way when discovered, and
most of the goods belonging to tbe
family were destroyed. Tbe building
belong**? to T. and was insur
ed for *3JU. Tbe fire laddies promptly
prevented tbe fire from spreading to
adjoining property.
That Barb!— The old school readers
have a sketch of the eagle on tbe wing,
but a cruel sportsman aims an arrow,
fextbered from its own win& with
deadly effect. There is some difference
tMtwees Charley Blattner and Judge
Gibbs when compared with eagles, all
will admit, but all tbe same tbe arrow
tot them center io Urn case of
jtotin v. Klattaer and Gibbs was fired
by Charley Chick, Democratic candi
date for Sheriff, his little affidavit doing
the business. Of course, as Charley
pulls tbe bloody decision of
L the Supnsne Court out of his gaping
breast, ns will remember^f 'bari iy aud
"fH £«i.: i'.- : »' .■ ;.;'v j,,'. ,
Gospel Saying.—Burdette well says,
the Lord wastes mud in making a man
wl'O takes a paper six years and don’t
pay r cent, and then orders the post
master to send it back “refused.”
Dead in tub Road. —The Pella
Blade reports that last Friday Mr.
Seary found a young woman dead in
the road, east of town. It proved to be
the daughter of Mr. Van Ginkel. who
had beeu suffering with consumption.
While walking along the road she was
taken with a fatal hemorrhage of the
lungs, and died soon after being found.
Tub Code.—We call attention to the
double column presentation of the sec
tions of the Code, given on our fourth
page, touching offenses against suffrage.
Our opposition friends, who last fall
and the year before, violate 1 these pro
visions freely, will do well to read and
heed. This species of crime will stop,
and there is an abundance of money
behind the Association which proposes
to put an end to it. Timely notice to
ibeboodlers is thus given.
Pklla Democrats.— The Blade
gives yds new trick of some Pella
Democrats: “We were shQwn a gourd
Just the size and shape of a bens egg
one day last week, which had been
sold at the egghouse with some real
eggs, and the deception was not dis
covered till they wanted to candle it,
when it was found that it was not made
to be caudled at all.” To think that
LJncle Pete Bosquet and John Sten
venrauch should do this!
Hogs.— Charles Ferree says that he
fears that hogs will go to #2.5U before
the crop is all marketed. We don’t
want any such Democratic prices, aud
hope to see them frisk about the figures
which denote nothing less than #4 00.
The teudeucy of the market is lower
ing, however, yet how much of that is
due to manipulation we caunot say.
The American hog is having a hard
time this year, and greatly lacks appre
ciation.
The Poor.— Leoni McMillen, secre
tary, writes: “The ladies’ society for
the relief of the poor will hold a meet
ing for the election of officers at the
residence of Mrs. M. J. Cook, on Fri
day afternoon, October 30, at 3 o’clock.
All ladies interested iu this work are
urgently requested to be present and
take part in the meeting. All persons
having cast off clothing that they wish
to give for the destitute, are requested
to leave it at the room across the hall
from the Auditor’s office, in Exchange
block.”
The Cost.— The criminal costs, ac
cruing under the enforcement of the
prohibitory law, are less than #2,000, of
which arnonut about #BOO belongs to
the charge which comes from arresting
men for drunkenness. Fourteen crim
inal cases, tried within the year, have
cost #3,120, which cases comprise the
Hockett, Ash, and Madison murder
cases. The Olivet burglars cost #6Bl,
to convict. On Saturday we shall more
fully show up the figures, as taken
from the auditor’s liooks, aud they can
not be contradicted.
The Opening.— Manager Burton
opened the Rink on Friday evening,
with Master Burton on the wheel.
During the summer he has perfected
himself in very many movements on
the bicycle, and his feats were wonder
ful for one of his age. We cannot be
gin to enumerate the difficult things
that he performed, but it is enough to
say that none of the celebrities who
have been here were more graceful on
the wheel. W’herever he goes he will
give the coinpletest satisfaction to all
lovers of the healthful sport. We pre
dict for him a tine career in the juve
nile Held.
Many Take It.—During the last
six weeks of the campaign we have
sent, by an arrangement, to very many,
The Herald regularly. Last week
we sent out a circular asking those who
have received The Herald that if
they desired its continued visits to noti
fy us by the postal enclosed. We are
pleased to say that very many have done
so, and it looks as if fifty percent of the
campaign list would stay with us for a
year. After the campaign closes we
hope to make some changes that will
be to the benefit of our large family of
readers, which bettermeuts will speak
for themselves. This and next, and the
past six weeks, the editions of The
Herald have reached thirty-seven
hundred straight—a fact which we did
not boast of to our a Ivertisers.
A Worthy Son Dkad.— Oscar Cap
per, of Scott Township, who died on
the Sfitk had suffered from alamt Sept.
12th of prostration from heat and over
work while thrashing. While in this
condition he sat down on a pile of
straw in a strong draft and cooled off
too suddenly. For two or three weeks
following he suffered from very severe
neuralgia affecting the muscles of the
face, head, neck and breast which
seemed to yield to treatment. Imme
diately following this he suffered from
absorption of pus formed iu the blood,
causing an abscess of the liver and de
rangement of the brain. Several ab
cesses were formed on the body, which
were opeued and discharged a poison
ous, putred matter. He suffered very
intensely. He was a worthy young
man in every way, whose loss will be
greatly regretted by a large circle of
friends.
“Karl, the Peddler.”—This even
ing Mr. Chas. A. Gardner will appear
in that excellent comedy. We have
had occasion heretofore to speak well
of Chas. A. Gardner, who has made an
excellent reputation as a German dia
lect comedian in the role of “Karl, the
Peddler.” He has been playing this
part for three years, and prior to that
was well-known on the stage. His
chief characteristic, and the one that
wilt gain him commendation from the
best sources as long as he adheres to
it, is a reserved, easy and natural in
terpretation of the role he assumes.
The qualities that make him strong
with audiences of all kinds are a merry
disposition, a good singing voice, and
skill in dancing. II is play carries the
audience with it, and is a good deal
better than those usually provided as
vehicles for specialty actors to rise In.
The company supporting him is excel
lent In every way. Gallery 60 cents,
lower house 76 cents.
The Central lowa.— Tbe Chicago
Tribune of Tuesday has this important
information touching the Central Iowa:
“Boston capitalists are negotiating for
the purchase of the Central lowa Rail
road in the interest of the Chicago,
Burlington A Quincy Railroad Com
pany, and it is claimed that the sale
will be made within a few days. This
acquisition will be of great value to tbe
Burlington. The road runs from Mason
City to Peoria, 335 miles, and baa sever
al important branches. It forms a link
in tbe new route between St Louis and
St Paul, connecting on tbe south with
the Wabash at Aibia and on tbe
north with the Minnesota A North
western at Mason City. This move by
tbe Burlington is no doubt intended as
un offset for tue reported purchase of
the Des Moines Narrow Ouage (Diag
onal) by tbe Milwaukee A tit. Paul.”
The Central lowa bonds have gone up
about ten points since Monday—a solid
corroboration of the sale. Should this
chauge of ownership occur, as we have
no doubt whatever that it will, it means
much in the future for this section, and
in*k<* all the more necessary that we
1 bail at once close with the North
western folks and bring that road in.
THE HERALD: OSKALOOSA, MAHASKA COUNTY, IOWA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1885.
Hoadly to Whiting.
Hark, from the tomb a mournful sound,
Tis Gov’nor Hoadly’s cry,—
“Come, old Coppy Whiting, and see the ground
Where you must shortly He.”
When.— ln answer to an enquiry we
state that Dr. Stafford received his
Judicial permission on January 9,
1883, at Montezuma, for #7,000 dam
ages, and #885.60 costs. This is the
record as found in the clerk’s office;
Judgments on “moneys and credits”
the world over —save in thia case.
Why Abuse Them V—Dr. Stafford in
his speeches in the country, we are told,
has but little to say save on his judg
ment of #7,000 against the city, and the
way the city fought against being
mulcted. He arraigns the City Coun
cil for refusing to pay over to him the
#BOO which had been accumulated iu
the treasury after he put his assign
ment on record: •
“For value received, I hereby assign this
Judgment and Interest to E. 11. Gibbs, with the
exception of amounts assigned to J. F. Lacey
and Bolton & McCoy of tl.tm*.
October e, isss. Elam Staffokd.”
' Prior to that he had receipted for
about #1,400. Now, this assignment
left nothing for Dr. Stafford whatever,
and just why he should want to claim
that #BOO from the city is what puzzles
the Council, and the friends of the
claimant. There is no need of his
abusing the Council. They did right
and stood up for the protection of the
people against a demand for which
there was not a shadow of right. Dur
ing all these days Dr. Stafford is found
talking bitterly of the men who refused
to see matters as the doctor most ve
hemently demanded. lie refuses to see
matters in any other light than that a
wrong has been done him. Sensible
people will see, however, that the Coun
cil did just that which they should have
done.
The Joint.— The general opinion is
that Jimmy Seevers now knows how
the man felt “who monkeyed with the
buzz saw,” or who has contested with
the whirling cylinder of a threshing
machine, and can appreciate the feel
ings of the bovine who contested the
right-of-way with a locomotive, since
the dis* ussion on Monday oveaiug at
the court-room, Jimmy stand i*• { up
for the “ poor, blind, diseased, decrepid,
dismal, doomed old Democratic party,”
use the appellation that Weaver gave
it, while Mr. Phillips stood up for the
grand old party of Republicanism and
business sense. Elias Yates presided,
and was fair*and prompt to both sides.
The trouble was that Jimmy weut into
a race for which he Was not fitted ; he
was entered for one-and-a-quarter
hours, when he should trot in the thirty
minute class. The discussion was lia
tened to by a crowded house, and mpch
enthusiasm greeted Mr. Phillips as he
delivered his sledge-hammer blows.
The only unpleasant thing that occur
red were some needless interruptions—
the meanest being that of one .poor
fool, who said : “ Hurrah for the
damn soldier P in derision of some re
marks that Mr. Phillips made in praise
of the boys in blue. It was a complete
RepubDkan victory in the matter of
the deoate.
Sheriff Woodruff.— Mahaska now
has one of thereat sheriffs in the State
of lowa—“Marq” Barr. All acknowl
edge that, and the Republicans propose
to continue that excellence in the elec
tion of Capt. Calvin Woodruff. He has
been a citizen here for seventeen ye**rs
past, and has always so demeaned him
self as to win the best opinion from all
people. FoV years he has been engaged
in an evangelization scheme by tnaking
washing machines that always left the
linen in snowy shape. It could wash
the dark spots out of everything save
the record of the Democratic party—
which is indelible. Capt. Woodruff
served four years in Company A, 62d
Ohio Infantry. He was with McClel
land on the Peninsula, and took in those
great engagements; he served a year in
the siege of Charleston, and was there
wounded; then he “veteraned” and
staid with the boys to the close, serving
his last year as Captain of the Com
pany, and in the array of the James,
under Ben Butler. He is a carpenter
by trade; an active, careful busiuess
man; a man of pluck and courage, and
one who will well continue the splendid
official career that Bair bequeathes to
him. He is one of the “boys" with the
Republicans in party work, but always
carries the saving political gospel in a
genial way. He will be elected, and
will serve the Mahaska people with
careful economy and faithfulness.
An Important Cask— Early last
summer the case of 0. Martin against
Charles Blattner and E. H. Gibbs was
brought, on an application for a tem
porary injunction to prevent Blattner
as the keeper of the saloon, and Gibbs
as the owner of the building, from us
ing the building on High street for that
purpose, or permitting it to be used.
Judge Johnson held that the temporary
injunction could issue, but the building
has been used for the same purpose
right along, according to all public ap
pearances. The case was appealed to
the Supreme Court, and was argued for
the plaintiff by Gleason & Haskell and
for the defense by Messrs. Lacey, Wil
liams, Bolton, McCoy, Phillips and
Greer. There were several important
points raised by the defense, being
want of jurisdiction and the right to
take the case into the Federal Courts.
The decision affirms the ruling of Judge
Johnson, and it now makes it possible
to close every saloon building, since
the owner can be enjoined from per
mitting It to be used for such purpose.
Mr. Gibbs held that he had rented the
building to Mr. Blattner for a saloon
prior to the passage of the prohibitory
law, but the court holds that he could
not make a contract to be sustained
against the police power of the State.
One of the affidavits in the case con
victing the place is from Charles Chick,
who testifies to the purchase of intoxi
cating liquors there. Charley is now
the Democratic candidate for Sheriff.
Auditor Baer.— The Republicans
and the people will put private John
R. Baer into the office of County Aud
itor, by their votes, on Tuesday next.
That will be doing a very proper thing,
for it will give recognition to one of
the worthiest men we have, and Insure
an efficient, painstaking official—one
who will serve the whole people well.
And that’s just what John Baer will
do. We remember John as one of the
first boys to enlist in the second com
pany raised here during the war,—
Company C, Seventh lowa. That regi
ment received its baptism of fire and
blood under Grant at Belmont, and
then at Henry, Donelson, Shiloh, Cor
inth, and luka, going with glorious old
Billy Sherman on “The March to the
Sea”—and our John was there, carrying
his musket, and doing his duty as a
private soldier, a duty, we want to say,
that has always taxed men to tbe ex
and sunshine, the private soldier stood
up as a bulwark against the dangers of
the field, and finally won. Having
done his duty as a soldier, Mr. Baer
came home, and for seven years was
engaged in business at Beacon in thia
county. Since which time be has been
engaged in clerking and in other hon
est ways to support his family. He
has been a resident of this county since
1844, coming here with his parents
when be was but two years old. He la
popular with all, and has always been
so. All that Is needed to put this pri
vate soldier into tbe Auditor’s office is
for our Republican masses to come out
on Tuesday and vote tbe straight
ticket. About thirty-five hundred o
the boys will do that, and so bringl
. about the proper change.

lowa comes from Kiowa: Our friend,
W. B. Street, of Omaha, has been Interviewed
by Andrews, tlie Des Moines "A” correspond
ent of the Chicago Journal, touching certain
Indian traditions and lowa nomenclature. He
says that the name of lowa is a corruption of
Kiowa, the name of an early tribe of Indians
who occupied this territory, and the remnants
of which are still a comparatively strong tribe
In the Indian territory. Street says "Kiowa”
means the country beyond or across tbe river,
and was so named by the Indians in Illinois
when they first came to behold this oountry
across the Mississippi river. This explodes the
old romantic story that lowa Is the vernacular
for "beautiful land.” It is probable that Mr.
Street Is the best posted man on Indian lore In
the west.

BALDATJF BROS. Say:
R,E3CK:XjB3SS A TT7~B^T I X3X3Sr<3
Has become the rage. It is dishonest. It is injurious alike to Merchant and Customer. It must and shall cease. A advertised
“100 pieces Dress Goods,” when the two cyphers left off would much nearer state the exact number of pieces.
B advertises “50 pieces Flannel at 30c, worth sdc,” when the first figure represents full value of
the goods. C sells “All Wool Cloaks at $5.00,” when every self-thinking person
full well knows that its cost of production is twioe that amount.
Let every merchant who would thus deceive the public be driven from the trade—the sooner the better—to give room to the hon
est advertiser, who neither misrepresents in the papers nor in his store. We to-day offer REAL LIVE BARGAINS in
every department in our house, and will forfeit SIOO to any charitable institution in Oskaloosa if among all items
quoted even one cannot be found in our stock, or if the prices named in this paper are not the same as
those asked of customers. We dare any other Hocsb to name such Low Prices as we do,
and if they should, we will go a little lower. 17 The prices quoted are for a limited time
only, as goods are advancing, and do not know that we can replace at old prices.
