OFFICE BUILDING.
A Three Story Structure Planned
for 0skaloosa.


The Ideal Heating Company has
purchased tine Wiley property on the
corner of North First street, and has
in contemplation the erection Of a
modern three story office building
thereon. The plans call for q brick
structure, fire proof and heated by
steam, containing twenty-one suites
of office rooms.
When seen by a reporter Chas.
Phelps, manager of the company,
said they had acquired the property
securing lot s0x120. The company
will at once build a new brick build
ing as a permanent home for the
factory, on the rear of the lot facing
the new Government building. Big
boilers win be placed in this structure,
sufficient to heat the new Office build
ing, providing it is built. Mr.. Phelps
says the realization of their intention
depends somewhat upon the result of
the coming city election on the
Electric Street Car Franchise. s'If
the ordinances carry we will begin
operation at once. If they do not
carry we are not prepared to say
what we will do.

FORT DoHELsoN INCIDENT.

Knoxville Journal: Mr.. VIM. Moore,
of Knoxville, came In last week to
swap stories with the journal man.
He was second lieutenant of Company
@, Seventh Iowa Infantry and this
fact led him to ask If we knew Maj.
j. w. McMullen, of Oskaloosa? We
told him Eyes, and had never known
any man whose acquaintance and as
sociation has been more dear than
his" He clasped my hand and said:
''We are Of one mind. He was my
captain and afterwards major, and a
nobler soldier never wore shoulder
straps. We were together at Bel
mont, Mo-, where we lost 400 men
from our regiment; soon afterward
at Ft. Henry and later at Ft. Donel-
son in both these memorable engage
ments. At Donelson our regiment
was in the last fearful charge up the
heights that swept the works and
planted our colors inside, with Is was

we got inside ball struck me in the
left eye and came out at the cheek.

the rush forward, saying: Boys,
Lieutenant Moore is gone" They
advanced several rods and the play
of the battle went on into the night,
but Lieutenant Moore was not for
gotten and in the early dawn Major
McMullen sent squad back to per-
form the last sad rite of soldiers
burial, while he went forward with
his regiment to witness the cere-
monies of surrender where General
Buckner and 10000 Confederates
turned over their colors and arms.
But during the night Comrade Glass
had found Moore, who had come to
and was in great suffering. He took
him to cabin near by, bound up his
wound and nursed him till day dawn,
when surgeon was secured and the
| wound dressed, and Moore was again
on his feet. He and Glass Ssere in

claimed: 'My God, Moore, are you
alive? / sent squad out to bury
you" Lieut. Moore replied: "There'll
be lively squabble before they get
it done" That was thirty eight years
ago, February Is, 1900, aud Mr. Moore
has always had painful wound. One
act of gratitude which makes up for
portion of this suffering and incon-
venience is the fact that the govern
ment remembers him with s24 each
month, but the debt will never be
paid to the boys in blue for what they
sacrificed.

pFFRJFSS IOWA.

Waterloo Reporter: The recent
census discloses the fact there are
SO towns in Iowa with a population of
more than 1000 and less than $4,000.
There are only six cities that go over
the 25, 900. While every loyal Iowan
expects greater things in the future
of her now leading cities and those of
more modest pretension the fact is
apparent that the strength of the
state in population is in the rural dis
tricts, in the rustling corn fields, the
broad prairies, the hills and valleys
of the country, where nature humps
herself to reward mans efforts. The
rural districts have also supplied
most of the other qualities which
have made Iowa famous, and the
source of the supply is no where near
exhausted.

LIN his annual report the comp
troller of the treasury repeats the
recommendation made by his prede-
cessors that the present law should
be SO amended as to provide fxed
salaries for bank examiners, to be
paid from fund collected from the
banks, to take the place of the fee
system now in force. The amount
allowed an examiner for the examin-
alton of smaller banks is not suf1cint
to compensate him for the time neces-
sary in many cases for an extended
examination. The present system
encourages, to too great an extent,
superficiality in examinations, and
interferes greatly with the proper
and wise apportionment of time Of
examiners among the different banks.

Co. F 51st Iowa, who went through
the entire Manila campaign came
home with the boys one year ago,
His life work has been with the Y,
M. @. A, and on the first of March
last was returned there by that ex-
cellent Christian order for mission
ary work. He sailed from New York
over the eastern route and was 53
days on the water, stopping at Glib
ralter, Malta, Port Said, and Colon
bo. Writing home he has this to
say of the American soldiers, which
is in marked contrast with certain
campaign utterances mads in the re.
cent campaign: "It is of course true
that the tendencies of army life are
toward roughness, due to the absence
of the refining influences of home
and church, but no one can truthfully
say that our army is made up oi
drunkards and buns, for in every
regiment many self-respecting tenn
perate men can be found, and or
every hand we hear expressions o.
the highest personal appreciation o

The contents were printed circular

stating that as they had large num-

they would be unable to use this one,

gives it for what it is worth:

And measured with the DEVILS rule
His life of pain and misery.

And perfumes sweet and flowers anc

His few friends at his bedside watched
His shortening, thickening, ,fevere'

And ministered as best they coui'
For he was sick, sick unto death.

No prayer was on single tongu
