In Every Home

A good family medicine eho uld be
kept on hand. Even under the most
favorable circumstances there will
be frequent arrangements of the
stomach, the blood may become i'm
pure, catarrh, rheumatism, neural
gia, scrofula, salt rheum, or some
other disease may suddenly make its
appearance. Prompt attention to
these ailments usually prevents SER
ious results. Thousands of people
who write that Hoods Sarsaparilla
has cured some painful afliction,-
has built up and stI enlightened some
nervous, tired woman, or saved the
life of some darling child add that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is now their fam
lily medicine. Because of its Won
derful power to enrich and purify the
blood, tone the stomach and create
an appetite, Hoods .~Sarsaparilla is
the best "family medicine" it is pos
sible to obtain. A bottle of Hoods
Sarsaparilla should be found in every
household, and upon the slightest in
dication of impure blood this medi-
cine should be taken according to di-
rections. II this be done, a vast
amount of sickness and suffering, as
we'll as much unnecessary expense
will be avoided.

False Alarm,

There was an alarm of fire sent in
Sunday afternoon about 1 O'Clock for
the residence of Mrs. Jennie Moor
man, AS North Market street, and
the Fire company responded in short
order fashion. There was no fire,
but there might have been had not
assistance came to an emergency.
Miss Elite Sparks, an inmate of the
house, desired to use the gasoline
stove and being unacquainted with
the working of the generator soon
had a lot of flaming gasoline flowing
on the floor. She threw water on the
fire and this only made matters worse
The young lady went to the back
porch and called for assistance.
Walter Clogston came to her relief
and seeing what was the matter soon
had the trouble stopped. In the
meantime Mrs. Clogston had tele-
phoned the alarm.

If it Were Not for oskaloosa In

Statements Endorsed by strangers,
From people living in distant towns.

That's what we have here.
It's not beyond belief because it

A Busy Mining Town.

Danforth, Mo-, Aug. II, 1900.
This busy coal mining town, eight
miles west of Kirksville, Mo-, is en-
joying a lively boom at the present
time. The mines r turning out
large quantities of coal, and find an
active demand in many directions. O.
B. Ravens & Company, owning and
operating the largest producing mine
in this section, are now laying out an
additional mine, which will be n of
the largest and best equipped in Mis-
souri,. This enterprising firm has
just completed a number of new min
ers' houses, and have contracted for
the construction of many more. Min
ers and laborers are busily engaged,
and Danforth promises soon to be the
second producing camp in the state.

TWELVE THOUSAND.
Colman's New Directory Shows
Increase in Population.

The George Colman new city di-
rectory is out and the showing made
for the city of Oskaloosa is of the
most satisfactory sort.
The.volume contains 4,793 names,
and by using the lowest possible null
tiple, two and ~one-fourth, we show a
population of 10,7s4. The nam s in
the directory include not only the
residents within the confines of the
city limits. Lbut it includes all the
residents Of the several suburbs and
additionssto the city. Each name has
been carefully counted and none are
duplicated except in a business way.
Midlothian has been very conser-
yative .inI figuring the population.
Two years.ago when he gave the city
his first work he had 4,14S names and
in estimating the city's population he
used the multiple most often used by
directory makers, two and one-half.
He figured the city at that time had
a population of 1880. HadM Mr.. COL
man used the multiple in his new
book that he used two years ago he
would have given the city credit with
having to-day a population of IL 1888,
including all the residents of the sur
rounding Esuburbs. The census will
not show anything like this figure as
it was taken within the corporate
limits of the city only.
The. new volume contains 645 more
names than the first work and shows
an increase in population in the two
years of 1913, which is thought to be
a very fair estimate by those best
able to Judge.
The new directory is a very car
full work and is very complete in all
it's details. 1t contains a lodge,
churchiand society directory and a
classified list of the business firms
of the city that is in itself a valuable
work. kIt credits the city with hav-
ing eighteen church organizations,
fifty-four lodges, clubs or societies,
thirty-six lawyers, twenty-seven in
surance agents, twenty-nine grocer
les, twenty-seven doctors, fifteen sa-
looms and seven brewers agents, Is
blacksmith shops, ~ barber shops,
10 dentists, 10 cigar factories and 10
publications, ~ restaurants, 6 hotels
and 4!banks.
The work is in every way the most
complete andIcomprehensivs of its
kind that the city has ever had. Mr..
Colman does not make the claim
that the work is free from errors but
he does state that he has spared no
pains in making the book as near
without fault as possible to make it.
1t is a directory that win be appre-
ciated by the subscribers and Mr..
Colman is being made the recipient
of many compliments on the work
that he has brought forth.
The typographical work on the
book is from the HERALD and the
binding is by Wilson & Riley.

DON'T GIVE UP THE FLAGS.
Phil KeHrney Post No. 40, G. A. R.
Goes on Record.

At the regular meeting of Phil
Kearney Post, G. A. R Tuesday
evening, the following resolutions
were unanimously passed: to-
"Whereas, An attempt is again be-
ing made to return the rebel flags
captured during the war of the re-
bellion, therefore be it
"ReSolUed, by Phil Kearney Post,
No. A., G. A. r. department of Iowa,
that we are ~unalterably opposed to
returning said flags nor OF at any
other time, believing that such action
on the part of III government would
not be conducive to the spirit of
patriotism and Cancellation as is
claimed by the advocates of said
measure, but believing that it would
tend to rouse much of the enthus-
iasm among those who were once ad-
herents of those flags and which is
now at least dormant, if not dead.
"ReSOIUed, further, That we harbor
no malice or hatred against those who
took part against us in the civil war,
and we will be ever ready to extend
to them the friendly hand. But we
will never consent to relinquishing
any of the results of that war. The
capture of those emblems of treason,
called flags, were part of such results.
The cause they represent is dead,
and we were right and they were
wrong So we ask that those flags
be left to molder, as all dead things
do.
Resol0ed, That our delegates TO the
encampment at Davenport be in
structed to vote and work for resolu-
tons in harmony with the sentiment
of this post.
"ReSOIred, That these resolutions
be published in the daily papers of
this city and copies furnished to the
national commander of the G. A. R.
and to the department commander of
Iowa.

CASkILL'S LETTER.
Tells of his Experiences In and
Around Roseburg.
Roseburg, Ore, Aug. is.

RoseDurg, Ore., aug TO-
Editors Herald On July 22d we
chartered a hack and seven of us,
three ladies and four gentlemen,
drove up the mountains 16 miles to
North Umpqua River, and camped
on the river bank in the shade of
tall pine trees. We were we'll sup
piled with provisions and hunting
and fishing tackle.
Horseshoe Bend is N of the finest
places to spend a day you can ask
for, with the swift, clear running
river, the falls and rocky islands.
1t looked like shooting the chutes,
but it would be dangerous sport to
pass through them with a boat. The
mountain trout we're not very hun
CRY, so our catch was. small. We
saw several flocks of Oregon and
Chinese pheasants, but as we had no
shotgun, did not get any of them.
The ladies made some nice snap
pictures of us at lunch and on the
rocks. You would have laughed to
have seen me helping n of u
young ladies to climb the mountain.
She was a better climber than I. We
had a fine time. Dinner at 6 p. M,
after which we started for home over
the rough, steep downgrade for 16
miles. In some places we came
whizzing, but all arrived home safe,
dusty and tired and we'll satisfied
with our outing.
Roseburg has not improved much
in the last year. The crops of grain
here are almost a failure. This has
been an uncommonly dry season
here. There are plenty of peaches,
prunes, pears and grapes and a fair
crop of apples.
On Tuesday, July 81, myself and
DIR. Hamilton drove over to visit the
Soldiers Home, which is situated ~
miles from Roseburg. 1t is kept by
the state. There are 40 acres of
land surrounded by the mountains;
the South Umpqua river runs close
to the Home, making nice scenery
and fine mountain views. The land
is all in garden and orchard and
small fruit. They have nice walks
and drives. 1t has nice home &C.
commodations for 100 soldiers. All
seem satisfied. Mr.. w. j. Shipley

wind blowing so strong, but l kept
on climbing until l reached what l

can view the country for many miles
around and Roseburg and the imp

fairy land. Coming down the noun

a slip might land you in the river,
