MORE HOUSES NEEDED.

A complimentary condition, and
yet serious situation confronts the
city of Oskaloosa. More families are
coming to town than can be accom-
modated with habitable houses. By
recent changes on the Iowa Central
Railway six heads of families were
transferred to O,kaloosa, but not a
single one of them can establish a
home here, simp y because they can
not find a suitable house. Supt.
Huntington, whose headquarters has
been here for nearly year, has been
unable to bring his family here for
the same reason. The HERALD knows
of another family who are are think
ing seriously of going to Des Moines
to reside, because the house they live
in has been sold and another one
cannot be secured in Oskaloosa.
1t is fine thing for Oskaloosa to
be able to say that despite the fact
that eighty new houses were built in
the city the past season the supply
does not keep up with the demand, -
yet there is another phase of the
question. II those interested in the
welfare of the city do not make
some provision for the accommoda
ton of those expecting to move here
some other city will get them, anC
the tables may soon be turned. There
is big demand for flus and apart
ment houses and capital should bt
encouraged to invest in this kind o
properties. In other words If Oska
loosa desires to continue TO grow sbt
must make provision for expansion
and that at once.

king Carlos Of Portugal is the
first of foreign rulers to recognize
Great Britain's annexation of the
Boer republics, course which has
not been followed thus far by any
other government. By direction Of
the king, the exequateurs have been
withdrawn from all the consular Off
cials of the Transvaal and of the Free
State in Portuguese territory, and
they have been notified that they can
not be allowed to fly the flag of their
respective countries, as the Portu
gu-se crown does not longer recog-
nize the government of these two de-
funct republics.

EVIDENCE CLOSES.
Theory OF the Defense IN That Kuhn
Committed Suicide.

Sigourney, Dec. 1s.--The evidence
in the Kuhn murder case closed yes
terday at o'clock.
The arguments of council opened
today at 8 O'Clock.
The theory of the defense seems to
be that Kuhn placed the poison in
the beer himself, for the purpose OF
killing himself and her. Mrs. Kuhn
stated that after they had drunk the
second bottle of beer, Kuhn request
ed her to sing his favorite song,
which she did. She also said on
cross examination, tnat he seemed
worried and Respondent for some
time prior to September 4, 1900.
Alexander Mccullough, Don Fer
guson and Michael Grimes, three
young What Cheer men, testified
that they saw Kuhn enter Geneva's
meat market the same night he died.
One or the witnesses testified that
there was no one in the buggy with
Kuhn when he entered the place.
This bit of testimony proves that
Mrs. Kuhn was not alone with. the
beer at any time and the circum-
stance will bav, its effect toward ac-
quittal. The state has, it is thought,
failed to connect her with the COM
mission of the crime.

At the completion of this case the

oLTNTON,S VIEW HOSPITAL

a
Clinton has just dedicated new
hospital, which has been established
largely through the energy and intelli-
gence of the ladies of that city. The
Herald says the new hospital is "one
of the most modern and up.to- date
institutions of the kind in the state. :"
The building was built expressly for
hospital purposes, and must have
cost approximately 81 500. A list of
subscribers to the fund of 1880 so is
published, and the statement is made
that the building is entired paid for,
but at present there are no funds in
hand for support of the institution.
The people of Clinton have respond
ed very literally, and some splendid
donations we're made by the public
spirited citizens. Two gave $500 each,
two $500, one $3.50, two 5000 and 80
others S100 each. There are some
over 100 others listed among the con-
tributors in amounts ranging from S5
up to $75. The exhibit is remark
able one of generosity, public spirit
and humane instinct, and no fear
need be entertained that such an in
stitutiou will not be properly and
literally supported by people who
can build so well.

The Colorado Springs lodge Of
the Order of Eiks has sent out an
appeal to the Elks all over the coun-
try to abstain hereafter from the
wearing or trafficking in the teeth
of elk" Members of the Colorado
lodge say that the elk are being
hunted solely for the teeth to pro-
vide the great order, and cite an in
stance where nineteen of the noble
animals we're slain for their teeth
alone, the best of which, even in the
hunting country, sell for S25 a pair.
The members of the Colorado lodge
have resolved to forego this badge of
the order, and request similar action
on the part of the order at large.

POUST4ROUT

When Roustabout reaches the end
of his journey he does not want foe
or friend to send in for publication
that weather beaten couplet:
Dearest father thou hast left US
And thy loss We deeply feel
But 'tis God who has bereft us
De eau all our sorrows heal.
He asks this in all sincerity, for at
that critical moment he does not
want to say or do anything that
would make bad impression on st.
Peter. Doggerel of that kind lends
no comfort to any one, and always
provokes smile from the general
