Newton journal: Oskaloosa ha

Newton Journal: Oskaloosa has
made the necessary arrangements by
which, under contract, it will have
electric cars in the city year from
Jan. 1, 1901. Glad to hear of this
progress. If the city of Newton in
creases in her manufactures, the
number of dwellings built and other
improvements made as fast in the
next five years as she has in the past
five years, she will have made sim
liar advance toward a city Of the
first class as has Oskaloosa, not
withstanding the figures of the U. s..
census.

nous desire on the part of all the
comrades to make the first year of the
new century better in every respect
than anyOf the old. AS was remarked
by one of speakers: "AS the scenes of
IS the war Of the rebellion are farther
and farther removed by the lapse Of
years, l am living in the past, and
those scenes grow brighter and more
vivid, especially as l behold with great
satisfaction the results of those years
of carnage, suffering and death"

TITUS AMENDMENT.
A New Flaw Discovered Making
It Void.

The Burlington Hawkeye has dis
covered an irregularity in the sub
mission of the biennial election
amendment to the people 1t points
out that the record of the amend
ment in the house of the 9th general
assembly is defective in that the
Joint resolution for the submission of
the amendment was not recorded
therein.
When his attention was called to
the matter, Attorney General Rem
ley said:

Iowa supreme court in the prohibi-
tory amendment case, am a. pres
ent of the opinion that the defect in

"A number of the judges of the

is largely due to the drink habit.
Some OF them give 1t as their opinion

than that percentage of criminal
cases are caused by the use of alco-

recently by prohibition leaders whose

BODY.RESTORER

Food is the body-restorer.
In health, you want nothing
but food; and your baby wants
nothing but food. But, when
not quite well, you want to get
back to where food is enough.
One of the most delicate
foods, in the world, is SCOTS
emulsion of cod-liver oil.
When usual food is a burden,
it feeds you enough to restore
your stomach; baby the same.
The body-builder is food;
the body-restorer is SCOTS
emulsion of cod-liver oil.

other evening that the 1000 young
men and boys of oskaloosa, based on
their earning capacity ARE worth $780,

that amount of money is surely worth

City Surveyor John Shannon has
been busy during several weeks past
endeavoring to get some order out Of
the tangle existing in the b. & w.
right-of-way through the southeast
part of the city and east of Market
street. Mr.. Pendray decided the city
forty feet of land for street that
would give entrance into the proper
ty of the Iowa Manufacturing Co.
When this street was staked off it
became apparent that there had been
some error made in the surveying of
the lots lying adjacent to the b. &W.
right-of-way. The property of the
railroad company lying southeast of
Market street is very irregular and
has caused Irregularities in the lay
ing out of adjacent lots, The dis
covery of the errors has made mint
of trouble and it is is difficult to con-
lecture just how the matter viii end.

Roustabout found ]. B. Brewster,
the same joke loving, fun provoking
fellow he has known for 10, these
many years. Tne Nome field has
not only been prosperous place for
Mr.. Brewster but has opened up to
him some rich experiences that he
so thoroughly enjoys. AS an illustra-
tion of the queer ideas held by some
of the Is 900 people who crowded to
Nome this year, Jina says one fellow
went with three pairs of tongs of
different sizes with which to pick up
the gold nuggets of various volums.
Another, a woman, with two sons
fresh from college, went there to find
their Eldorado. Going up on the
boat she boasted all the way of how
she would polish and care for the
gold that her sons would bring to
her. But the sons were not pleased
with the prospect, the gold failed to
materialize and the party had to be
sent back to the States at the govern
ment's expense Mr.. Brewster ex-
poets to return to Nome in the spring
and spend several years there.
