The Oskaloosa Times
Friday
April 17, 1896

W.C. FOWLER was up from Fairview Wednesdy, and is illustrating the good time which the republicans two years ago promised to inaugurate if they were elected to office, he told us he had bought a lot of potatoes for four cents per bushel, and would feed them to his hogs.

W.O. WORSWICK, fomerly a techer in this county, and for years carried the highest grade ever issued in the county, is visiting old friends and elatives. He has for the last six years been engaged in the retail shoe trade in Beatrice, Neb., but his heart ever longed for home.

Mr. TRUE of Newman, Kans., shipped twenty-five cars of stock of his own feeding to Kansas City, paying in freight $471.96. The cattle weighed 662,980 pounds. Under the new rate he would have paid $563.53, being $91.57 or $3.66 per car in excess of the old rate. This station is fifty-five miles from Kansas City.

Better Watch Out!
Will BURNETT, who works for Mel CRITCHFIELD on the OROKE farm says that some petty thieves have been stealing his feed boxes, dinner bucket, etc. He says he thought that was little enough, but when they took the empty whiskey flask that he carried his coffee in he decides to call a halt. His is pretty well satisfied who the culprit is and if that fellow is caught prowling around he is likely to be hard to catch.
