The State Fair.

Old Probs apparently waited for the STATE
Fair to close ere the long wished for raiu came
for as soon as the fair came to an end the rain
fell in torrents. During the day Saturday the
weather cleared up sufficiently to allow exhb.
itors to remove their articles from the hall. 1t
is not known yet whether the exhibition was a
financial success or not, as it will take some
time to settle the accounts.
The officials left town Saturday, but they
will return the 18th and will be in session at
the Preble house to adjust all the accounts Of
the Fair. Bills can be left with A. L. Dennisor

Lewis Clothing Store.

Passing the brick at south-e east corner
OF the square few days since, we were
attracted by the appearance of dummy
at the door, dressed up in the most fash
ionable style, including large buffalo
overcoat, and we stepped into NJ L. Lewis
store, to take observation. Here we found
everything in the clothing line from a
box of paper collars to wedding suit;
from an undershirt to an overcoat The
shelves, the counters, the boxes, the show
windows, all filled with clothing of latest
styles, suitable for all stations, trades or
professions. Here the laborer can find
the coarse, durable suit that will do him
the most service as he follows his calling;
the business suit for the tradesman or
professional man, the broadcloth suit for
the happy mortal about to embark upon
lifes uncertain sea of matrimony, or for
any other person whose pocket-book will
stand the pressure. On the shelves, in the
drawers and boxes are found all kinds of
underwear and furnishing goods-shirts,
drawers, stockings, handkerchiefs, col
lars, ties, hats, caps, ETC., in as great varie-
ty as could be asked to make Il selection.
The salesroom is 2Ox1OO, and filled in
every corner with goods. In the rear is
the cutting-table, and the stock of cloths,
from which Morris tailors manufacture
the nobby suits SO popular with the boys.
In the second story his room 20x4O is &C.
cupied entirely as q tailor-shop, and here
a number OF tailors and tailoresses find
steady employment.
In the salesroom are to be found Norris
smiling countenance, backed by that thin
little shadow, Aaron, and Harry Jackson,
while father Levi oversees the whole, and
holds the boys level, SO you may always
depend upon being well treated when you
call. For further particulars we invite
your attention, to the advertisement in
this issue.

Frankel & Co.'S Clothing Store.

The clothing trade of Oskaloosa has
long since been q matter of pride to eur
citizens, for we have none of .the shoddy
stock SO common to many of our sister
towns. Among the firms in our place, we
mention that of l. FRANKEL s. Co., who
lately moved into their new room on the
north side of the square, adjoining their
bank. The building they occupy, was
erected by Richard Parker, Esq, and
forms part of Centennial Block. The
salesroom is 20xSO, very neatly finished in
modern style, with all the conveniences,
and stocked with an elegant line OF cloth
ing of all kinds. Here you can find al
most anything you want to wear; the ex-
quisite and the dandy can find suit
made to show off his ungainly form in its
true light, neatly fitting his every joint;
the business suit, the laboring mans over
suit, all kinds of furnishing goods-hats,
caps, coats, pants, vests, shirts, drawers,
neck-;ies, plain or hobby, flashy or drab,
anything you want can be had at this
house.
Here you will find the business like
Isaiah Frankel, or E. Bach, the genial
Ellis, the pleasant Himmelrich any or all
of them always ready and willing to at
tend to your wants ON all occasions
These gentlemen have long been in the
trade in our midst, and their success shows
that they treated the public well in their
intercourse with them.
For FILL particulars from this firm, read
the large advertisement elsewhere, and
remember they have removed from their
room on west side of square, to Centen-
NAL Block, on north side.

Jos. jones' New Brick.

The new brick block erected this season
by Joseph Jones, on his lot on West Main
street, is credit to the town. The build
ing is 4OxSO, two stories high, and built
for his business, and wagon
making. The lower story is all in one
room, calculated as a show room for his
manufactured goods, while the upper
stories are used for the woodwork and
painting. This is something Mr.. Jones'
increasing business has needed for some
time, and we are glad that he has fair
chance ID show off his goods. With such
manufactures in our midst, there is no
reason why our people should send away
for such work. Buy it of our home men
who give employment to many mechanics
in our midst, and who then invest their
profits as MIR. Jones has done, in brick
blocks and other substantial improve
ments, that are credit to the city. Look
our city over and you will find that ma
jority of our business blocks are put up
by our own mechanics, whom liberal
patronage of their hard work has enabled
to lay by u few dollars for rainy day.
Remember this when sending away for
goods that can be had at home,

Miss HELEN POTTER, at City Hall,
Oskaloosa, Dec. 16. Three years ago
Miss Potter devised a new entertainment
expressly for lyceums, and seldom has
any novelty met with such an overwhelm-
ing success. Wherever it has been given
it has made such decided hit that Miss
Potter has generally been recalled the
same season-and in some cases even
three and four times-to the same place.
The press everywhere has spoken of the
entertainment in terms of the most en-
phatic commentator, and SO popular has
it become that numerous applications
were booked last year for the present
season. The entertainment consists of
two parts,-the first being recitations, and
the second impersonations of eminent
lecturers, actors, etc. Of the marvellous
compass and variety of voice displayed in
these recitations it is impossible to con-
vey, in words, an adequate idea. One
must hear to appreciate. In the second
part, presentations are given of Mr. Cough,
Miss Logan, McCabe, Mrs Scott Siddons,
Miss Dickinson, Mrs. Howe, the late Miss
Cushman, Ristori, etc. Each individuals
costume, voice, gesture and manner are
represented to the life. Tickets so cents.
Reserved seats rs cents. .

SCARCITY OFMONEY

There is no doubt but the present situa-
ton of all kinds of business and industry
is fearfully depressed, and it behooves
every family to look carefully to their ex-
penses. Winter is coming on when child
rem are liable to Group, Whooping Cough,
etc. Coughs and Colds will prevail every
where, and Consumption with other
Throat and Lung disease will carry off
many. These diseases should not be neg
lected, Doctor Bills are expensive, and we
would advise our people to use BoscHEE's
GERMAN SYRUP. 1t never has failed.
One bottle at IS cents will keep your
whole family well during the winter.
Two doses will relieve any case. Sold in
all towns in the United States, and by
your Druggists, H. w. Clifford, and
w. r. Nugent.

and plenty abound, and where police Off

ments against all parties owing on sub

selves, and we get it every day. If we got
mad for every dun, we would have the n.y.

that we could have paid months ago, if
men who owe us had paid up. Come down

MORE THIEvING.--Thursday night last,
or Friday morning, some thief or thieves
broke into Z. n. Hoover's store on the west
side of the square, and stole goods to the
amount of one hundred dollars or over.
They gained entrance by boring through
the wooden shutters opposite the bolts, and
then broke out window opposite the in
side fastening. Thieves are getting rather
bold in this city, and it will not be long un-
til some of them are playing checkers with
their nose in Fort de Hetherington. Keep
on at your deeds and you will finally get
your just dues.
LATER.-The goods stolen from Mr..
Hoover was found under the G. B. & @.
freight depot at Ottumwa. All goods
recovered Tuesday evening, many articles
were found that were not missed at first.
Coal SHrPMENTs.-The coal shipments
from this station loom up larger and larg-
er every year. Last month the Consolida-
ton Company alone shipped 1900 cars of
its excellent coal, over the Central r. r.,
to the fuel-less regions north, and other
works are doing nearly as well. This COM
pany has now Il contract for 35 cars per day,
for the Milwaukee and st. Paul r. r., in
addition to its former large shipments
This keeps its excellent works at Mucha-
chinook going at full power, but mines No
1, 2, and g. with all their facilities under
the management of III. w. Mcneil, one
of the best coal men in the west, and with
such mine superintendent as Will Butler
and Jack Baxter, they turn out an immense
amount of coal. Ills branch of trade here
abouts is a great benefit to our people, both
bygiving employment to hundreds, and by
bringing hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually to our county. -a--
