Oskaloosa people will in general be
delighted to learn that the famous
Darktown Minstrels will be in the
city again this year. They did not
come west last season, and this year
it is necessary for them to make a
special trip to reach the city. 1t is
bigger and grander than ever before.
They comprise special and important
talent and the company carries its
own carload of special weather.
There will be a magnificent street
parade at noon of the date of show,
and this alone will be worth the
price OF admission. The date of the
show viii he about April "a.

One of the surest indications ofthe
prosperity of the season is found In
fact that very few theatrical COM
NAMES have failed this winter through
want of patronage. No matter what
sort of a show was prese nted there
was a fair business at the box office.
Ouite a number of companies struck
bits of hard luck in having dates in
towns where there were smallpox
cases. and consequently had to can

Councilman Laffollett and the Re-
publicans in general have reason to
feel elated at the victory in the First
ward. There was some hard work
done and when the count was made
the result was greater than had been
expected. The first ward flag floats
and the eagle has right to scream.
Mr.. Fitch was handsomely endorsed
not by the Republicans alone, but by
the ward residents generally. His
work on the council meets with the
approval of the citizens generally.

The blows probably come from the

earth. Mr.. Milne, at his observatory
on the Isle of Wight, photographs

thousands Of miles away, and in a re-

HENRY HART.

however, but they had to give way to
progress. The one plying on Chatham
street finally fell into the hands Of
young Hart, who had established him
self as a money lender. He looked
after the running of the line and made
more money. 1t was nearly twenty
years after he landed in New York
that a company got a franchise to run
a horse car line up Third avenue. Hart
saw that he must have the new road
or allow his stage line to go bankrupt.
and SO, when the railway promoters
had about abandoned their project, the
money lender bought them u for
next to nothing. Such was the begin
ming of the Third avenue system.
Hart got a company of his own to-
gether, and before long had horse cars
running by the door of his pawnshop.
After the war he gave up his pawn
broking business.
Illiterate-not knowing how to read
and able only to scrawl his signature
he has made men who have been
called princes of finance bow before
him, and was at period many
times a millionaire. But he was
wrapped up entirely in his two tracks
IN Third avenue, and while he was
blind to everything else a new power
took shape in a new enterprise. Its
traffic went up, M, up, doub-
ling in a decade, while the
Third avenue barely held its
own. So matters went on until, when
money frightened three months ago
and his stocks began to tumble. disas-
ter seemed to stare him in the face
and ruin was predicted. Contrary to
general opinion. however, he did not
lose his fortune and is still a power
In the financial world. The gain in
stock has placed him on a sound basis
and his energies will continue to be
exercised Indefinitely in behalf Of his
pet railroad.

Loud murmurs arose from the people,

were hurrying to and fro, begging a

Governor Roosevelt writes In the
May st. Nicholas of the qualities we
expect to find in the young American.
A boy needs both physical and moral
courage, he says. Neither can take
the place of the other. When boys be-
come men, they will find out that there
are some soldiers very brave in the
field who have proved timid and worth
less as politicians, aud some politicians
who show an entire readiness to take
chances and assume responsibilities in
civil affairs, but who lack the lighting
edge when opposed TO physical danger.

Experiments made in the engineer
ing department at Cornell university

equal, a bicycle runs more easily with
a large tire than with a small one. A
two-inch tire, for instance, was de-
