CONQVEST- OF-THE SYN.
The Solar Motor Will Revolutionize tho
 Power Problem.

bitlon at the Ostrich Farm, near that city, is considered successful, and is therefore attracting a vast amount Of attention. Leading newspapers and magazines throughout the country have telegraphed theirrepresentatives to ''rush" photographs, and the East ern tourists now swarming into South ern California all visit the device and regard it as great marvel.
 Naturally, it is attracting the atten- tion of men interested in Western de- velopment, for any means of furnishing cheap power must exert tremendous influence in this field. Among those whose who have studied it very closely and are apparently ready to stake their reputation on the prediction of great results to be realized from this inter- esting device is William E. Smythe, who as founder of the Irrigation Con- gress, for many years editor of the Irrigation Age and author of ''The Conquest of Arid America" is well known to many of our readers. He has furnished our correspondent with the following statement concerning the solar motor:
 HOW IT LOOKS.
 ''The unique feature of the solar motor is that it uses the heat of the sun to produce steam. As mo fuel" is cheaper than any fuel, the saving to be be effected by this device is evident. When the solar rays have heated the water in the boiler so as to produce steam the remainder of the process is the familiar operation of compound engine and centrifugal pump.
 ''The reflector somewhat resembles huge umbrella, open, and inverted at such an angle as to receive the full effect of the suns rays on 1.I88 little mirrors lining it's inside surface. The boiler which is l3 feet inches long, is just where the handle of the um- brella ought to be. This boiler is the ioSoi Poibb "hCtC tuC iChCC'iou tbe sun is concentrated. If you reach long pole up to the boiler it instantly begins to smoke and in few seconds is ahame. From the boiler flexible metallic pipe runs to the engine house near at hand. The reflector is B feet 6 inches in diameter at the top and l5 feet at the bottom. On the whole, it's appearance is rather stately and grace full, and the glittering mirrors and shining boiler make it decidedly bril- liant.
 WHAT IT DOES.
 ''In the morning the machine is thrown into focus by d few turns of a hand crank. In about an hour the gauge in the engine-house indicates l5O pounds of steam pressure. The en- to run all day without attention. A clOck-work arrangement keeps the re- Hector following the sun around auto matically. The engine is self-Oiling. The water passes back from the con- denser to the boiler, so that the latter is always full. The present model runs 10-hOrse power engine and lifts 1 400 gallons per minute, equal to l55 miners inches, l2 feet from an underground tank.
 FUTURE OF SUN POWER.
 "It is expected that under the nearly vertical rays of the summer sun the present model will develop from l5 to 20-hOrse power. But this is by no means the limit, since several reAec- tors may readily be grouped about

A LOST WHEEL.
Young America Causes Reverend
Gentleman Much Worry

Young America Saturday morning
caused Reverend gentleman of the
city considerable annoyance and in
convenience For the time the gem
tleman thought that his bicycle had
been stolen.
The rector left the wheel standing
at the curb to attend to some affairs
in an office.
Whose wheel? Yours?" asked
young man with an object in view
addressing himself to the afore men
toned Y. A.
yep" was the reply received.
"oh say now wont We let me ride
it out to the fair grounds? wont
hurt it. That'sa good fellow" These
and similar pleadings were next adj
dressed to the Y. A.
ride Ter if you want to, l don't
care" returned the small boy, think
ing to let the young man get start
and then call him back with, the an
nouncement that he did not know
VINO owned the Wheel. But the rider
once mounted and started paid no
attention whatever to the call of Y.
A. and sped down thel street and out
of sight. Y. A. made his presence
in that vicinity an unknown quanti-
tity and the minister, returning for
his mount, had considerable difficult
ty in working out an understanding
of the situation, and, had it not been
for the information vouehsafed by a
bystander, the police would have
been upon the trail of the supposed
offender against the law. The wheel
was returned to the owner in the
course of the morning and the gen.
tleman enjoyed the funny side of the
situation with the others who were
witness to the incident.

So passed the hours, hidden
orchestra discoursing sweet music
the while. Uncle E6. had been noticed
several times stirring uDeasily in his
seat, and unable longer to restrain
himself left it and disappeared. The
orchestra ceased playing and several
members rose to take their departure,
when the sound of single instrument
swelled forth and filled the hall. Now
low and plaintive its notes told of the
pleadings of childhood for mothers
love, now soft and almost still they
told of rustling leaves, of moonlight
nights in shady lanes where lovers
keep their tryst, now loud and exult-
ant they told of victories won, of
armies triumphant returns from
blood-stained battlefields; but, hush
what is that familiar strain:

Tribune.

E. D. Hawley, of Oskaloosa, wars
business caller here to-day.
Miss Maud Roach, of Oskaloosa,
was visitor with her.cousin, Miss
Mary Funk, Tuesday.
Mrs. q. ]. Johnson, of Oskaloosa, is
spending few days with relatives
and friends here.
DR.. P, j. Ellsworth, Of Oskaloosa,
was down Monday morning and took
one of his trotting horses home with
him.
J. M. Ryan has purchased the lot
next to Dixon's corner of Mrs. A.
Crosson and expects to build a neat
brick building in the near future.
The red sand stone are fast being
put in place at the new bank build
ing and soon a handsome structure
will be finished. H. G. True has a
force of men at work on his two
buildings, and before long that corner
will be better and stronger.than ever,
while other improvements in the
burned district will be made as soon
as possible.
Tuesday night a generousIrainfall
of one and one-half inches broke one
of the most damaging droughts ever
known in this section. While the
corn crop has suffered to some ex-
tent, the late corn will, if proper
amount of rain falls, make a fair
average. Hay is short and only one
half crop is expected. Small fruit
and garden vegetables are total
failure.
The front of the new K. P. hall is
being rapidly pushed to completion,
with Mayor Funk experimenting the
work. The brick work is in the hands
of that well known master mechanic
Dan Logue, of Oskaloosa, assisted by
Bert Brown, of the same place, and
several home mechanics. When fin
ished, this will be one of the finest
fronts in the city.

OFF THE TRACK
II. 81 w. Passenger Engine Runs ORan
Open Switch

The B. & W. passenger engine No.
10 ran off an open switch at The High
avenue crossing Immediately after
pulling its train into the station at
12:45 this afternoon. After uncoup-
ling from the coaches at the plat
form the engine backed south on an
other track to do the usual work in
the yard. The open switch was not
noticed and the engine ran off and
quite a distance before it was stop
ped. 1t ran onto the pavement and
the very little damage that wrs done
to it is to the lasting credit of Peter
Nelson's pet job.

GOLF AND TENNIS.
0skaIOOsa Country club Enthusiastic
Over Good Scores Made

Thus far the golf club which was
at first feared would have some
trouble in getting started in this city
has proved an entire success. All the
members are most enthusiastic and
game has grown wonderfully in the
favor of the general public. The
scores while not those of experts
have averaged exceedingly we'll and
it is now seen that Oskaloosa has
some good players as we'll as some of
the larger towns. All the old golfers
who have seen the links south of
town say that score of As would be
an exceedingly good record for an
amateur and several of the players
have neared that mark. Dick Boyer
in the recent tournmentmade score
of 40 and last evening A. L. Comstalk
made the rounds in A, and there are
many others who are close to the
same mark.
Many of the club have been wanting
to take up tennis with the golf and it
has been decided to play on the j.
H. Pickett court eest,of town. OF
tumwa has already sent in a letter
asking for tennis meet and the boys
are anxious to accept. The only
obstacle being their lack of practice
during the first of the summer. If
the meet comes off it will be some
time in the fall and will be announced
later.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflalned con-
dition of the mucuous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when il is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dtion, hearing will be DESTROYED for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
bv catarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur

HOW TO USE GLYCERIN.

Since so many people use pure glyc-

seems necessary.
II you apply n little glycerin 10 the
tip Of the tongue you will find that. al
though 1t has n pleasant sweet tnste.
the first sensation that Is felt Is one
Of pain and burning. This is caused
BY the fact that glycerin has n strong
affinity for water, and that II absorbs
all the moisture from the surface
which It touches, thus drying up and
parching the nerves.
Ignorant OF this fact, nurses and
mothers have applied pure glycerin to
the chafed skin Of infants, producing
often great pain. The glycerin ought
to have been first mixed with an equal
bulk Of water. This being done. II may
be applied to the most tender surfaces
without producing injury. and, as II
does not dry up. virtually maintains

ton, excluding the air and promoting
