The Oskaloosa Times
Friday
October 7, 1898

The ten-year-old child of Tom HOLLAND's got its fingers caught under the window sash at the church Sunday night in such manner that two were almost cut off. Dr. JOHNSTON dressed the wounded members.

N.W. JOHNSTON son of Dr. Johnston was visiting him a few days last week. The young man has been employed in the Pillsbury college, at Minneapolis, as an instructor in Delsarte exercise; and was on his way to accept a similar position, at an increased salary at Corsicana, Texas.

Frank MORLEY is another Oskaloosa boy who is making his friends proud of him. He worked his way through college at Emporia by doing janitor work, and now he is going through the Kansas City medical college largely by his own unaided efforts. He is a good foot ball player as developed in Wednesdays game between Kansas University and the Medics--Frank plays left end on the Medic team. There is always room for the engergetic boy who is determined to succeed.

Many of our citizens attended the fall festival at Topeka last week and all report a splendid time. One of our citizens, a prominent young lady, came near having a stroke of heart failure, or something of that sort, however, for on entering the carnival ball room there promenading the floor as "large as life and twice as natural" was our own Sunday school superintendent and editor, F.H. ROBERTS. "Oh horrors."
