Laid To Rest.

The remains of the late III. w. Nc.
Neill were laid to rest in Forest Gem
etery on Sunday afternoon, and the
obsequies were attended by large
circle of mourning relatives, friends
and acquaintance. The funeral was
held at the home of w. T. Phillips
on North Eighth street, and the large
house was inadequate to accommo-
date all who attended. Rev. Kaye
of the Congregational church Off
ciated, and his sermon was touch
ing eulogy to a successful and re-
markable man.
Music was furnished by a male
quartette, composed of DR.. Hare, WIS.
Lacy, w. Kalbach and E. M. Hammond
The pall-bearers were from among
the deceased's immediate relatives,
comprising his two brothers, Col. j..
F. and w. A. Mcneil, and Messrs.
Harry, Art and WILDER Little, Chas.
Lofiand, w. T. Phillips and Mr..
Birks. The floral offerings were pro-
fuse and handsome. A notable fea-
ture of the occasion was the large
number of coal miners and colored
men in attendance. Most of them
were former employees of Mr.. Mcneil
and they held him in high personal
esteem. .

The goth Century Movement.

DIR. E. w. Mills, secretary of the
great 800 Century Movement in the
Methodist church of America was in
the city over Sunday and occupied
the pulpit in Central M. E. church.
The object of the movement, which
is creating intence interest all over
the county is to secure 1000, 900 new
converts and raise $50, 900, 900 to pay
off all old debts on churches, provide
for worn out preachers and endow
methodist schools. DR.. Mills is very
sanguine that success will crown their
efforts as already one-fourth of the
amount is in sight. Contrary to most
evangelists DIR. Mills takes a very
optimistic view of the present and
future, believing the world is grow
ing better every day, and that people
generally are becoming more liberal
with their time and means for the ex-
tension of christianity. In addition
to mis- remarksl on the great enter
prise in which he is engaged, he de-
livered fine and convincing ad-
dress, which greatly pleased and
satisfied all who heard him.

IT MAY BE LACEY
Though Not Candidate he May

Chicago, Feb. 5.-The Tribune says
editorially:
Because of the bitter fight now be-
ing made over the selection of man
to succeed the late Judge Woolson of
United States District Court for the
Southern District of Iowa, it is said
Major Lacey, the Representative
from the Sixth Iowa District, stands
an excellent chance of securing the
appointment, although he is not a
candidate. There are four candidates
in the field and each of these is r. >
presented here by member of the
Iowa delegation.
Each Representative claims his
candidate will secure the position and
unless there are some Withdrawals
from the race it is believed dark
horse will win.
This will in all probability be Judge
Lacey. He is a lawyer and the author
of Lacey's Railway Digest and
Lacey's Iowa Digest.
While he has never served on the
bench he has been City Solicitor Of

THEISTHMIAN CANAL
Agreement Reached Between the
United States and England.

Washington Feb. 4.-The British
ambassador and Secretary Hay held
a conference this morning regarding
the closing! up of an agreement on
the Isthmian Canal question. The
agreement waa formally signed by
both. 1t provides that the United
States shall exclusively build and
control the waterway joining the At
lantic and Pacific oceans. The neu-
trality of the canal, however, is
pledged by both signatory parties,
both in times'of peace and war.
Washington, Feb. 5.-The United
States and Great Britain, it is definite
ly learned, have reached an amicable
agreement respecting the operations
of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty as affecting
the right of construction and control
by the United States of the proposed
Nicaragua canal. The result marks
the termination of conferences be-
tween the officials of the state depart
ment and Lord Pauncefote of fully a
years duration, during which a num-
Der of meetings were held and the
subject fully discussed by the repre-
sentatives of the governments inter-
ested. Great Britain agrees to mod
ification of the Clayton ulwer treaty,
by which she practically relinquishes
any claims respecting legal control
of the Nicaraguan canal after it shall
have been constructed. The result,
therefore, is to eliminate that feature
Of the treaty bearing on the subject of
dual control, and to leave the United
States free to construct and there
after control this great inter-oceanic
waterway. In all the discussions
which have been had in congress and
out of it for long number of years
over the proposed canal, the
question of England's rights under the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty has formed a
prominent feature, and on more than
one occasion has given rise to the
query whether or not the United
States government had the moral right
to provide for the construction of the
canal without a modification of the
treaty. From the same authoritative
quarter it is ascertained that England
has made no demands for a quid pre-
quo for her abandonment of whatever
rights she may have had under the
treaty, and which she now promises to
relinquish. Just what shape the agree
ment between the governments inter
ested in it is to take is not stated
though it is assumed that some forma
instrument will be drafted and sent t.
the senate for it's confirmation.

The first regular service was held at
the Episcopal church Sunday morning
with the new rector Rev. w. II. Frost.
There was a large attendance at the
service and the sermon was very
favorably commented upon by all
who heard it. There was no evening
service, but on next Sabbath there
will be two services; the evening SER
vice will be held at o'clock. Sun
day was not Rev. Frost's first visit to
Oskaloosa, he having preached trial
sermon here before, creating most
favorable impression. The church is
just now in good condition and looks
forward to a season of great prosper
ity under Mr.. Frost's pastorage. A
new. feature soon to be introduced is

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to adj
vance the kidney-posoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

The Mulct Petition.

Editors He,a,i:-The proposition
OF mulct saloon is again before the
people of this city and it is serious
question to the business interests of
this city. Aside from the moral
question upon which honest men
differ and can differ, can this city af-
ford to close up it's saloons. We
think not. To the business man and
the tax payer it is purely question
of business. Thescity now derives an
income from the saloon of Sill 400 and
the county So, 400. The ordinary run
ming expenses of the city and about
$40, 900 or more year. Even with
the revenue of the saloon the city is
yearly running behind, notwithstand-
ing the fact that we are now heavily
taxed. Take away the s11 400 that
we are now receiving, and when will
this city get money enough to pay its
expenses. 1t simply means bank
ruptcy. The city is allowed to levy
tax of ten mills on the dollar for its
general fund out of which are paid the
ordinary expenses of the city. rhe
levy is now four mills; they can levy
six more, which would make an adj
ditional income of about $1,000. De-
duct that from the S11 400, the saloon
income, it would have deficit year
ly of 81, 400 which the city would be
utterly unable to raise. The city is
now bonded to its full limit, viz. S64,-
900. In addition to that it has out
standing general fund warrants to
the amount of nearly $4,000. Drop
the saloon revenue and how is the
city going to meet this Indebtedness,
let alone the deficit every year. Are
the people who are opposing the sa-
loon so bitterly willingly that this
city snail repudiate its debts, and
stamp it with a shame from which it
would never recover. And yet that
is precisely what the result would be
There is still another view that the
tax payer should take. When the
people held mass meeting to devise
means of securing factories for this
pla' g, it was the unanimous opinion
that this town had reached the limit
of its growth, unless new business
and factories were brought in here.
Close the saloons and fifteen business
| houses become at once vacant. How
are you going to fill them up? The
property owner will not only lose by
increased taxation, but will also lose
by decreased rents on account of COM
petition of buildings. Another matter,
the merchants derive great deal OF
business, especially on pay day, from
the mines surrounding the city.
Close the saloons and you will drive
a greater part of that trade away,
especially to Ottumwa where the sa'
loon will be established. II is not
claimed that the miners come to
town especially to drink, but he does
take his glass of beer, and it is about
the only luxury that he has and
whatever may be individual views he
sees no harm in it. We have not dis
cussed the moral question in this
article and do not propose to do so.
1t is a question upon which men
honestly differ. Some of US however,
have not forgotten the "holes in the
wall" during prohibition days in this
city. However, in the words of a
distinguished statesman sit is con-
dition not a theory" that conironts
US in this city.

Iep-weakness.

Now that the young ROSTERS are
running at large they will grow rapid
ly if properly fed, but should the
weather become damp they may sud-
denly show weakness in the legs. II
they eat and seem well otherwise they
will soon come in proper condition, as
the weakness is caused by the birds
growing in height rather than in
breadth, the legs seeming to grow
longer. Such birds show the effects
more on a sudden change of the
weather than at any other time, as If
rheumatic. Keep them in dry place,
feed plenty of bone-meal, and they will
not only easily get over it, but will
eventually be the largest ones in the
