When the printing Office was re-

MIRROR FOR LACEY.

The Monroe Mirror makes respect
full mention of the new candidates
for Congressman in the Sixth Dis
trict and adds:
"TheIcandids cy fthese gentlemen
is not fight upon Major Lacey.
They, as we'll as every one, do not
fail to recognize the untiring and
effective public spirited services of
our Congressman.
The Mirror is in favor of the renomi-
nation and election of Mr.. Lacey
unless Jasper County should present
a good candidate of her own, and we
hope there won't be. The Majors
abilities, his legal attainments, his
comprehensive craftsmanship, and his
high and influential standing as a
member of Congress are everywhere
recognized. While we have differed
with the Major on some questions,
we can not but recognize his thorough
honesty in public affairs, and his
great desire to work for the best
interests ofpeople. 1t is not reason
able to suppose that he could agree
with everybody on every question.
As long as a Congressman is faithful
to his constituency land keeps abreast
with the spirit of the times we are
not much in favor of replacing him
with a new man -
The Oskaloosa herald., 1900-04-26

tain it is that in Wapello county
there has been no fight on Major
Lacey, and, with Senator Waterman
no longer a candidate, this county
will undoubtedly throw it's entire
support to bring about the renomina-
ton of the present incumbent. What
effect, if any, the withdrawal of SEN
ator Waterman will have on the an
nounced candidacy of Capt. Carr of
Poweshiek county, is not known.
We believe, however, sthat Major
Lacey will this year, as he has for
five successive times, receive the
Sixth district republican nomination
for congress unanimously, by accla-
nation.

NOT A NECESSITY.

The United States Supreme Court
has decided that Sunday shave is
not necessity and that individual
states are not exceeding their con-
stitutional authority in enacting legis-
lation providing for the closing of
barber shops on that day 1t was a
Minnesota barber who denied the
right of the state to interfere with
him in the exercise of his trade on
any day in the week, and fought his
way through the lower courts and into
the supreme court of Minnesota.
That court upheld the state law, and
the plaintiff as last resort broke in
to the United States supreme court
on writ of error. The opinion in
the latter body was rendered by Chief
Justice Fuller and was concurred in
by all the judges. 1t is held that the
closing of barber shops on Sunday
comes within the police powers of
the state.

WATERMAN,S WITHDRAW WAL.

Ottumwa Courier: Elsewhere the
Courier publishes letter from SEN
ator H. L. Waterman withdrawing
his name as a candidate for the
Sixth district congressional nomina-
ton. The reason assigned is unex-
pected but advantageous develop
ments in business affairs which will
take him out of the state much of the
time. Just what these business mat
ters are the Courier is not at liberty
to state, but early developments will
clearly indicate that they are of such
a character that Senator Waterman,
in Justice to himself and those with
whom he is associated in business,
could not for purely personal rea-
sons, do other than take the course
which he has in withdrawing from
the congressional contest. That Sem
ator Waterman's candidacy has at
tracted a great deal of interest and
attention throughout the district is
well known. That he would have
had the loyal support of Wapello
county Is unquestioned. 1t is prob
able that the matter had not pro-
ceeded far enough in other counties
for definite representations. Ger

In this day of SERVANT girl prob
lens" it is interesting to read that
one Rosa Gibbons celebrated the
other day her golden anniversary in
the service of the New York White
house family. In 1850 at the age of
20, she entered the employ of Edward
Whitehouse, grandfather of j. Nor
man Whitehouse, the present owner
of the Whitehouse mansion on Brook
lyn Heights. Rosa Gibbons is now
70 years old, and says: "They have
always taken good care of me-"
The Oskaloosa herald., 1900-04-26

With due regard to Capt. Carr's
candidacy for congressional honors,
we believe the withdrawal of Mr..
Waterman will make Congressman
Lacey's denomination by acclamation
certain. Mr.. Lacey will have the
solid delegation from Wapello county
as he was second choice to all of Mr..
Waterman's supporters. Davis and
Monroe counties which might have
given Mr.. Waterman some votes will
now come to the unanimous support
of Mr.. Lacey. He is stronger now
than he has ever been before and is
daily growing in popular favor
throughout the district.

RAN THE TRAIN.
Hooking Miners Have a Row and
Hurt an officer.

There was general disturbance on
the special traiu returning from this
city to Hooking with the party that
came with the Evan Jones funeral
Tuesday afternoon. The train started
on the return trip after the regular
passenger south bound. Quite a
number of the miners had been drink
ing quite heavily and were more or
less intoxicated. They we're too many
for Conductor Neff and quarreled
among themselves to quite an extent.
One of the party had gang jump on
him and force him to the end of the
train where he was held from the
platform of the coach with his head
almost dragging the ground, and the
train moving at the rate of about So
miles per hour. The engineer saw
the condition of affairs and stopped
the train to prevent the scrappers
from being thrown from the train.
Help was telegraphed for to Abba and
when the train pulled into Abba there
were a number of officers at the
station to arrest th9 disturbers. This
had been anticipated and about the
time the train stopped at the station
the drunken crowd made a rush for
the officers and Cleaned them." AS
one officer was bending over man
to put him in irons he was kicked in
the face and severely injured, his nose
being fairly torn away.
Arrests of the parties concerned
were finally affected and the case will
go hard with the leaders of the party.

There is strong talk of paving A
avenue from ID street east to 9th this
summer. This could be done at a
very small expense to the city and
the property owners generally are
willing. While this would give Oska-
loosa thirteen more blocks of paving
the city would not have to put in but
81 intersections. The intersections
at ID, @, Market, 3rd, 7th end Sth are
already in and there is oIfy half an
intersection to be put in at 9Th street.

One of the leading physicians {

One of the leading physicians of
the city, who has steadily main
tanned that the disease prevalent in
oskaloosa is not smallpox, has adj
duced what he thinks is positive
proof of his theory. He had pa
tient suffering from this disease and
after she had fully recovered and all
the symptoms on the skin had dis
appeared he vaccinated her. The
vaccination took better than 1t had
on 90 per cent of the others whom he
had vaccinated. He says if 1t were
smallpox the vaccination would not
have taken.

pressing in our lines, until at p. IN.
they were gin full retreat.

So fierce was the hand to hand strug-
gle during those two days that one side
would retire only to retrieve its loss, un-
til the thick growth of underbrush that
stood in this forest was moved down as
by scythe--until one-fourth of the So,-
600 combatants were killed, wounded or
captured. Victory was claimed~by both
sides, but Grant held the field and recov-
cred his prestige while the confederates
captured camp equipage, supplies and
prisoners, but were unable to carry the
spoils away on account of muddy roads.
1t was gigantic contest in which west
ern valor was pitted against southern
dash and pluck and it gave each side
new view of the war, view wherein it
was acknowledged that brave Ameri-
cans were fighting brave fellow citizens

PELLA'S PLIGHT.
THE coward dies a thousand deaths
The brave man dies but one"


The brave man dies but one"
We would rather have the small
pox than to be scared about it as
some of our friends in neighboring
towns seem to be. The city council
of Pella has passed an ordinance pro-
hibiting any one going there from
Oskaloosa, fearful of contagion. A
travelling man from this city got off
there the other day to look after bus
mess, and he was Immediately placed
under surveillance and marched up to
the Mayors Office like criminal.
This all because there are few peo-
pie slightly sick in Oskaloosa with
what has been pronounced a mild
type of smallpox. But Pella is try
ing to stop the bung hole while the
head is knocked out of it's Darrell.
While it works itself into frenzy
over Oskaloosa people it pays no at
tention to visitors from Des Moines,
Marshalltown and a hundred other
infected towns in Iowa. In the midst
of prevention she is in the throes of
exposure.
No new cases are developing, none
who has been affected has been very
sick, and all patients are conveles-
cent. There is absolutely no more
danger of getting the small pox in
Oskaloosa than there is in getting
the hubonic plague in Pella. Tear
down the walls Pella and let us dwell
together in peace. Send your city
fathers down and we will give them
quarantine party and vaccinate
them free of charge.

A BATTLE MEMORIAL.

The Marshalltown Times-Republi-
can paints the following word pictu1 g
of great battle that will be remem-
bered by many veterans who took
part in it.
The first mighty struggle for suprem-
acy between the north and south in the
civil war on the western field commenced
at Shiloh, April 6, I862-thirty- eight
years ago today. For two days one of
the greatest battles of modern times
ragged furiously until more than $500
brave soldiers were killed and over 49,
600 wounded. Other battles had pre-
ceded it, but none with the force and
vigor of Shiloh. In this great contest
Iowa volunteers displayed their valor,
and now, after nearly four decades have
passed, the unusual spectacle is witnessed
of Our state legislature appropriating a
large sum of money-$4S,ooo-to COM
memorate their heroic deeds by monu-
ment and memorials.
