Wallace Sanders.

Mr.. EplToR:-"In the midst Of life
we are in DEATH" The least thing, less
than the least thing, in the hand Of God
Is enough to deprive US OF life-whether
in the unimpaired vigor Of youth, or
showered over In the heavy frost of age,
we are alike liable to the sudden and
unexpected stroke, mirth and mad
ness, tears and triumph the holiday
of youth or the apathy of age, pomp and
poetry, rapture and anguish, 50 strangely
mingled in our path, should teach us the
moral of our being. Just few days ago
I had long talk with one Of the noblest
of Young men, one that I could always
RELY on, one that loved me and one that
I loved, in the prime Of life, full Of fair
hopes, full Of energy, full of love for his
dear mother and all mankind, one who
offered bis young life for his country
shortly after the blowing UP OF the
Maine. What a mysterious providence,
Just in the early morning of his day-not
more that O'Clock a. M, for his sun to
90 down. The bright light forever gone
out, that familiar voice hushed, and the
happy home made dark and dreaty.
Father and mother, brothers and sisters
farewell, but not forever. God Is fait,,-
full. "a thousand years in his sight are
as but yesterday when it has passed, or
watch in the night" Wallace Sanders
will live again ! am thankful that he
did live, though tits 80 hard to give up
one that we loved 80 much. The chain
that bound us here has another link
yonder, and IL we are faithful we shall
reap by and by. May he who watches
the fall of the little sparrow, watch,
comfort, sustain and keep the father,
mother. brothers and sisters in the hol.
Low of His hand in this their darkes'
hour.
"Our eyes have seen the rosy light
Of youths soft cheek decay,
And fate decend in sudden night
On manhood's middle day."
Mot long ago he filled his place
| And sat with US to learn,
But he has run his mortal race
And never can return"
THOMAS H. GORE.

INCREASE TRAFFIC.
Iowa Central Road Wants Fact
cries Along Its Line.

The general passenger and ticket
department of the Iowa Central is at
work on plan which will develop
the cities and towns along that popu-
lar line of railway. Less than week
ago advertisement we're placed in a
number of papers calling the atten-
ton of manufacturers to the splendid
facilities offered by cities and towns
along the line for the location of
manufacturing and other industries
aud for the past few days the de-
partment has been flooded with in
quiries from manufacturers und bus
mess men who are looking for a
change of location. Almost all
branches of industry are represented
inIthese inquiries, many of them being
of good size. There are several in
situations which at the present time
employ from fifty to one hundred
men, and which claim that the force
will be greatly increased when the
factory is located in a new place.
This is the chance for Oskaloosa to
get in line and make an effort to Sc
cure one or more of these institutions.
The Central is free to acknowledge
that it is in the work through selfish
motives. The greater number of
of factories, employing hundreds of
people and shipping tons of raw
material and finished goods, that the
road can have along it's line the
greater will be the amount of traffic
done in passenger and freight de
partments. 1t is to the interest of
the road to have as many large towns
on it's line as possible. Increased
population increases business. Now
while the Iowa Central is in this work
to benefit its self it is very advan-
tageous position to be of benefit to Os-
kaloosa. The road has very friendly
feeling for this city. Three of the
shipping and passenger routes of the
road center are in this city aud this
gives the city a natural advantage
over cities along the line. 1t would
be more to the advantage of the
road to have factories located in this
city than elsewhere on the line of
the road. The management of the
road intends putting it's best effort
toward the betterment of the road
through the avenues of factory build
ing. Here is an opportunity for the
city of Oskaloosa that will not be
overlooked by the Board of Trade
and the utmost use will be made
of the opportunities presented by the
work of the Iowa Central.

The Lacey Game Law RigidIy En-
forced in Illinois

Special to DAILY HERALD
Chicago April Hesitate Game Com
missioner H. w. Loveday, acting
under United States government au-
thority, has made what is believed to
be the greatest seizure of game birds
on record. More than $4,000 quail,
grouse, and ducks have been con-
fiscated because they were shipped
in violation of the federal law known
as the Lacey act. Suits are to be in
stituted today against forty-e eight men
charged with the shipment of the
game into Illinois contrary to law.
The seizures and the suits are the
result of the Game Commissioners
work in connection with T. s. Palm
er, assistant chief of the biological
survey in Washington, and who has
charge of the enforcement of the
Lacey law.

Water Works Made Some New Com
nectiOns Yesterday With Their
Old Pump.
A. force of men were busily engaged
yesterday at the pumping station Of
the Martins Ferry water works, MAX
ing some new connections with the d.
rect line to their old pump, and it did
not require much time to make the
connections, but at II O'Clock last night
they had not finished making the test
and were having some trouble with the
working of the pump, but expected
to have the pump working this orr
ing. If they had more trouble it was
hoped that the people would be econ
omic in the use of water. The reser-
voir still has considerable water in it,
and it is thought it will last until
the pump is in working order. The
old pump has a capacity of two million
gallons in t~wenty-four hours, and the
new pump that will he connected up
in April will have a capacity of four
and one half million gallons in the
same time as the old one This station
furnishes water for Bridgeport in con-
nection with Martins Ferry, as we'll
as for a number of mills and factor
