The steel strike in the east has
greatly effected the progress of the
oskaloosa federal building. The
foundation work was completed six
weeks ago and then work had to be
suspended on account of having no
steel on hand for the work of con-
struction on the super structure.
A letter from Mr.. LIGHTER, the con-
struction superintendent, states that
it win be two weeks before any ma
terial can be had here.

A PROCLAMATION.


1.-THE season is nigh when, according TO
the time ha.iOweC custom Of our people,
the president appoints Gay as the espe-
Cial occasion for praise and Thanksgiving
to God.
This thanksgiving finds the people still
bowed with sorrow for the death OF a
great and good president. We mourn
President Mckinley because we so loved
and hOnOred him; and the manner Of his
death should awaken In the breasts OF our
people keen anxiety for the country, and
al the same time resOlute purpose not to
be driven by any calamity from the path
of strong, orderly, popular liberty which
as a nation We have thus far safely trod.
yet in spite Of this great disaster, It IS
nevertheless true that 70 people on earth
have such abundant cause for Thanksgiving
as we have. The past year in particular
has been one Of peace and plenty. We
have prospered in things material and have
been able to work for cur own uplifting in
things Intellectual and spiritual. Let US
re member that, as much has been given
US, much will be expected from US; and
that true homage comes from the heart Is
we'll as from the lIRs and shows Itself in
deeds. We can best prove our thankful
ness to the Almighty by tbs way in which
on this earth ard at this time each of US
does his duty to his feliow men.
Now, therefore, /, Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States, do hereby
designate as a day Of general Thanksgiving,
Thursday, the 18th Of this present Novem-
Der, and 90 recommend that throughout
the land the people cease from their wonted
occupations, and at their several homes
and places Of worship reversntly thank the
Giyer of all good for the countless bless
ings of our national life.
I'm witness whereof have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal Of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the City Of Washington this
Second day Of November In the year Of
Our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and
One and of the Independence Of the United
States, the One Hundred and Twenty

Gasoline Explosion Causes Trouble at
the Tom Fitzgerald Home,

A gasoline explosion at the resi-
dence of Tom Fitzgerald on North
A street, tie north one of the Dennis
Robinson houses, caused an alarm of
fire to be turned in about 6 O'Clock
Friday evening. Slight damage re-
suited, however, as the fire was
promptly handled by neighbour who
ran to the assistance of Mrs. Fitz
gerald. She was slightly burned
about the hands. The walls of the
kitchen were somewhat damaged but
beyond this there was no damage.
Mrs. Fitzgerald had been filling the
stove from a gasoline can when she
remembered upon the failure Of the
stove to burn that the can had been
filed with water some time previous
ly. She then permitted the water to
run out of the reservoir. Striking a
match to see if the water had ceased
the gasoline that had been mixed
with the water took fire and famed
up.
When the alarm of fire was turned
in it was given as, "out at the end of
A street" There is no fire plug on
A street and the hitch would have to
be made from Market street. The
hose truck ran north on Market street
to College avenue, but found no Are,
and returning to the location of the
Robinson house found the flames ex-
tinguished. Too great care in giving
the location of fire cannot be taken.

New Legal Point Decided.

The Nevada Supreme Court gave q
decision Saturday which We believe
touches new point, says the Carson
News. 1t appears that plaintiff pre-
decessor in the case settled upon
twenty acres Of land in Nevada in 1862,
fencing it in and clearing portion Of
it. 1t was then unsurveyed public
land. No title was subsequently OBJ
tanned from the United States or the
State Of Nevada, plaintiff claiming
possession by occupancy only. In 1898
Davie A. Baird made application to
the Land Office for the purchase of
this land from the State, and was al
loted the land. This bit of land was
listed by the Act of Congress of 1880 as
unappropriated, and belonging to the
State Of Nevada. The lower Court de-
cided that the land belonged to the
plaintiff by reason of occupancy before
it was granted to the State, and this
decision was reversed by the Supreme
Court,

SUCCESSFUL ELECTRICAL TEST
Oakland Street Cars Run By Power
Gsnsrstsd 40 MiIes

Electric power generated on the
Yuba river, ~ miles away, was used
in the operation of street cars in
Oakland. Cal, the other day. This is
said to be the longest transmission
of electric power in the world. The
power is generated by turbine wheels.
The cable, 40 miles in length, is six
tenths of an inch in diameter, and is
of copper, with aluminium alloy,
which will prevent oxidation. 1t Is
this cable that is suspended across
the Carquinez straits by span of
4, 400 feet and 300 feet in the air.
The test is considered one Of the
most successful in the history of
electricity, a current of 10000 volts
having been transmitted the entire
distance with a loss not to exceed
five per cent. Under that showing
experts said the voltage could be in
creased until there would be prac-
tically no loss of current. The cur
rent used was an alternating current,
transmitted through a motor at a
power station.
As the voltage of 10000 was great
ly in excess of the power needed, this
power will be transmitted over the
company's lines to San Jose, a dis
tance of 100 miles from the generat-
ing plant.

moved the general to investigate that
often mooted question with some care,
and his conclusion is that, despite the
wording of the constitution, there is
full justification for saying "the
United States is" and not "the United
States are" He admits that in the
early days of the republic, while the
fact of it being an aggregation of SOW
ereign states was still prominently In
mems minds, the plural usage was the
common one, but it was not universal,
even in the beginning, and at one point
in the constitution there is the phrase,
controversies TO which the United
States shall be a party" not shall be
parties" as strict consistency would
require, says the New York Times.

fair question. since the use of "is" or
"are" after United States" involves
something very different from mere

suitable opportunity or offer of mar
riage and have not means sufficient
to keep themselves in clothes and
spending money. Any bachelor over
40 years who shall go outside of the

and can never be repealed without the
consent of the majority of the old
women who have been regularly ad-
mitted to the homes established for
them.-Chicago American.
