The general public, even in London
itself, needs to be told what Lloyds is,
and so 1t will be better to state at the
outset that it Is the greatest center OF
the shipping interest all over the world
and it is surprising that, unlike its
near neighbor, the Stock Exchange, 1t
Is so little known. Mr.. Frederick M.
Kenward contributes to Harmsworth' s
Magazine an exceedingly interesting
article descriptive of the old institu-
ton. Lloyds owes Its name to its
founder, Mr.. Edward Lloyd, the pro-
prietor of a coffee house at Tower
street, the earliest mention of which is
ABOUT 1000. II was " lAiS Couce uouSe

used regularly to resort; and Mr..
Lloyd, who seems to have been a man
Of considerable enterprise. took care to
collect all news and information he
possibly could in connection with his
customers business until his coffee
house gradually came to be looked
upon as the headquarters of all mari
time business. and especially of ma

In the second half Drake put in some
fresh players and went in with a de-
termination to annihilate the Quakers
but they found the Penn lads there
at every stage. They went into Penn's
line smash, bang, but found in it a
veritable stone wall, and finally gave
up in despair. Penn'sdefensive work,
though handicapped in weight, was
something marvellous, Drake making
no gains through the Quakers line.
Drake then tried end runs, but the
splendid tackling of Lathrop, Mid
dleton and Compton made Drake's
runs very short. Bacon, of Drake,
made a run around the end for about
45 yards planting the ball behind the
goal line for a touchdown, but Ref
cree DR.. Hare gave them no count,as
Bacon made an off-side play by run
ming out of the bounds. The ball was
again kicked off and by some start
| ling end runs Drake made touch
down but missed goal. After another
kickoff and some clever work on
both sides, Penn got the ball on
tumble, and by some plucky line
smashing and brilliant end runs adj
vanced the ball to Drake's 15-yard
line. Drake saw her glory vanishing
and made one more heroic struggle,
but it was too late, time was about
up, with the ball in Penn'spo session
and the Quakers looking for more
trouble. Drake saw her finish.
Second half-Eenn 6; Drake 8.
1t would be unfair TO make special
mention OF anyone of the Penn play
ers, for each one of them put up
fast, clean and scientific game-one
that perhaps Drake will hold in sad
remembrance for some time to come.
DIR. @ II Hare, of this city, and
Mr. .Bremner, of Des Moines, ,officiated,
and the gentlemen gave entire satis-
faction.
In the second half Hester tried a
place kick from the 45-yard line, but
missed by few feet. 1t was beauti-
full drive and he would have undoubt-
edly put it between the poles had 1t
not been that the ball was wet.

for 0skaloosa of 9,212. The figures
are no doubt q disappointment to
many and are much below what are
shown by various tests. For the elec-

voters registered Using the custo-
mary multiple Of five people to one
voter, this would show a population
of 1875. Colman's city directory,

PENN WINS OUT.
Drake's Eleven Go Down Before
the. Husky QuakeTs

1t was Penn's day and thew fully
lived up to the hopes of their adj
herents-and then some. Nearly 500
foot ball enthusiasts braved the ele-
ments of Monday and witnessed the
dignity and colors of Drake's foot
ball eleven trailed in the dust or the
the mud rather-by the athletic dis
ciples of VIM. Penn, of this city.
There never was seen more humili-
ated, weather-beaten and foot ball
beaten crowd of pigskin chasers and
rooters leaving the gridiron than the
Drake delegation at the close of the
game. Although, let it be said, they
bore up under the crushing blow
heroically. 1t was great surprise to
the local enthusiasts and still great
er one to the Drake contingent. The
Drake team had claimed the dis
tincUion of being second in the state
to the s. U. /. champions, but going
down before the Quaker will certain
ly put queitus to that claim. At
all events they found in the Quakers
the "tuffest" proposition they have
trifled with for some time. 'Tis a sad
home-going for the Drakeites, and
the Quakers rejoice. VIII Timer
Carver announced "time-up" at the
end of the second half, with the score
6 to 5 in favor of Penn, the crowd
fairly went wild Hats, umbrellas
canes, ETC., were thrown in the air
and the Penn players were carried
around on the shoulders of their ad
miring friends. The Penn boys are
to be congratulated, for they put NJ
a fast, clean, scientific game tina
ought to win on any gridiron, and i
the Quakers put up as good gam,
with the Simps Moons on Thanksgiv
ing Day as they did with Drake tn

age of is and not including wives.
BY using the ordinary multiple in
this case, two and one-half, our pop
ulation would be 1882. Mr.. Col
man, however, has few names in
his directory OF people living outside
the corporate limits, while the GEN.
sus .enumerators confined their work
strictly to the corporation lines. The
returns we're not padded In any way,
and if few people we're missed it is
not the fault of the enumerators for
they worked hard and faithfully on
the duties before them.
But withal, 9,212 is not SO bad, and
by comparison with the past it will
be seen that Oskoloosa has shown a
remarkable percentage of gain. In
1890 our population was 6,55s. In
ten years the increase was 1854, or
over 40 per cent. Des Moines showed
less than 80 per cent increase, and,
so far as we have noticed, no town
of any considerable size in Iowa has
shown as good a gain as has Oska-
loosa, The state is away behind Os-
kaloosa, showing only little over 16
per cent.
The first federal census taken after
Oskaloosa was Incorporated, was
that of 1850. Since then the increase
has been gradual, the past ten years
showing the largest number. The

THE ELECTION BLUNDER.

Governor Shaw thinks that there
is no danger about the construction
that may be placed upon the Titus
amendment by the courts. He thinks 8
the intention of the legislature and
the people who voted for the amend
ment is perfectly plain from the
amendment itself without going out
side to take evidence The point he
makes is that to extend the terms OF
Office of the men who were elected
in 1898 and whose terms expire prac
tically with the year 1900, even if ii
does run over a few days, would not
be carrying out the purpose of the
amendment, which is to provide fol-
the offices that would otherwise be
filed in the year 1901, when under
the operation of the amendment nc
election will be held. To extend the
terms of men whose successors are
| elected at the same time that tht
amendment is voted upon would no
be any part of the general plan o
the amendment.
Attorney General Remley has am
pie precedent to establish bis opin
ion in law, but in addition to the le
gal phase of the problem he cite
very clearly an ethical ground whicl
is even more tenable and which viii
undoubtedly have as much to d.
with simplifying matters as any on
cause. He says:
| Beside the legal questions involved
there is another one: question of eth
les. 1t strikes me as morally wrong TO
any man who has flied the full term o
the office to which he was elected, be
cause of what is, at best, technical er
ror, attempt to defeat the will of tn
people who have elected his Successes
and to deprive the successor thus elect
ed of his right to the Office. No ma
whose mental and moral faculties are
normal condition can afford to give sue
suggestion one moments considers
ton. Any one attempting to hold on
! any Office, | am firmly satisfied, will M
only be defeated in the court, but dra
, upon himself the deserved condemnatio
of all fair-minded people.

OSKALGOSA VS.. MARSHALL
TOWN

The Marshalltown Times-Republi-
can boasts that Marshalltown has a
population of over 1000 more than
Oskaloosa. This is fact, but Oska-
loosa shows the biggest percentage
of gain and at it's present rate of
growth is destined to put its neigh
Dor in the rear. In 1890 Marshall
town was credited with S,912 inhabi.
tants and Oskaloosa 6,55S. In 1900
the figures are Marshalltown IL ,554
and Oskaloosa 9,212. In the ten
years Marshalltown gained only 2642,
or 1884 per cent, while Oskaloosa
gained 1854 or 40.46 per cent. AT
this same rate of increase, and there
is no reason why Oskaloosa should
not keep up the pace, 0skaloosa will
outstrip Marshalltown by the time
the census of 1880 is taken To make
the figuring easier, give Marshall
town credit with 80 per cent increase
and Oskaloosa Al per cent. On this
basis the next federal census, in
1910, will show Marshalltown 15,01o
and oskaloosa 1883; in 1920, Mar
shalltoWn $3.50 and Oskaloosa 49,
30s, and in 1880 Marshalltown 25,36S
and Oskaloosa 1854. From then on
Oskaloosa will get so fast that the
dust it makes will have settled be
fore Marshalltown gets near enough
to get any of it in its eyes. "Just
watch our smoke"
