CYRUS BEEDE is at home attending the
Yearly Meeting. He has become one of
the necessities in the Indian business, and
it seems they cannot get along without
him. He has been very busy since his last
visit home, travelling hundreds of miles
and accomplishing much good. His last
visit, in the early part of August was to
some tribes of rowing, raiding disposi-
ton, and he succeeded in releasing three
young ladies who were prisoners among
them. Cyrus believes Grants Indian pol.
icy will ultimately prove successful.

BASE BALL.-A picked nine from Sears
boro, played the Garden Cities of Pella, at
Pella, on the 31st of August, resulting in
a score of 25 for Searboro, and 10 for Pei
Ia. The Pella Club tried to win the game
by bluffing the umpire, Liston Mcmillan
of Oskaloosa, but when they found that he
"had been there" they refused to continue
the game unless an umpire from Pella was
substituted, to which the Searsboro boys
consented rather than have the game stop
but notwithstanding the change, they beat
them by the above score.

AN ESSENTIAL OF LovELINEss.-To be entirely
beautiful the hair should be abundant and lus-
trous, THIS is absolutely essential to complete
lovliness. The most regular features, the most
brilliant complexion and pearliest teeth fail II
their due if the hair be thin, dry harsh. On the
contrary the plainest face, if it be but surmoun.
ted by luxuriant and silken tresses, is apt to
impress the beholder with a sense OF actual beau
ty. That browning ornament of her sex is hap
PLY, within the reach of lovely woman, and being
as discriminating as she is lovely, she long ago
discovered that Lyons Kathairon the sure
means of securing it. No preparation for the
hair enjoyed 1.-THE of its popularity, and no
wonder, since it produces such gratifying results.
Applied to the waste and barren places of the
scalp, it fructifes and enriches them with new
and ample growth. 1t is not, of course, pretend
ed that it will do this If the capacity for repro
duction is extinct, but 80 long it remains that
wonderful rehabilitant will assuredly propagate
the germ of the hair into life and activity.

The "infernalest" street crossing in Os-
kaloosa is between R. P. Bacon's and j..
W. Walton's on South Market street. We
have endured the thing for two years,
stumbling over its wreck of boards six
times day, called the attention of every
Street Commissioner to il. hoped the Street
Committee would bark their shins over it
some dark night, and now we ask every
body to look at the disgraceful thing. The
crossing between j. r. Barnes and D. NJ
Waltons is dangerous to the school chill
dren who will traverse it by hundreds in a
few days. The boards are down solid, but
have holes Gu. in them large enough to let
the feet of small children through, and will
break leg some day. The crossing be-
tween David Evans aud W. B. Streets is
next in rank to the one first spoken ola
regular nuisance yet the walks, on both
sides of the street are of the best quality.
