| Superintendent Aydon of the Polio,
and Fire Alarm Telegraph System il
his annual report again recommends til,
placing Of wires underground, saying:
During the past year it is noticeable
to all, and especially to frequent visitors
t. our city, that overhead wires are con
stantly increasing instead of being dimin-
isled, many of them seriously interfe ie
with our lines and are II constant menace
70 our firemen. police and citizens.
In regard to our storage battery
which WAS installed June "a, 1896,
take pleasure in reporting it giving poi
feet satisfaction, and has been il saving
during this time Of over $4,000, against
the cost Of maintaining the old gravi,y
battery and has more than measured up
to the promise made by the contracting
parties.
The tower striker on the Phoenix en-.
zine house which has been condemned
AMI ia which ! called attention in nj,
last report. remains in an unreliable con.
lition; and | again recommend that n
new striker lie put in the place Of the old
one. ;ls il DOES not meet with the require
mentS Of anr improved system of today.
II is Unnecessary to state that the loca-
tion ~ this company is such as to make
III almost absolutely necessary for the
information of the members of the com
pany.

lttcntion to the danger arising from the
too clcse proximity Of our wires to these

PENNSYLVANIA. have recently met with
crious accidents originating from con
tact with said dangerous currents. AL
have crippled and killed men in these
places. and those ut headquarters have
been seriously shocked at the same time
By making changes and improvements
removing ollr lines from these objection
,ble points Of contact. we lessen the
liability of such accidents and loss of
life. Th 'Se changes and improvements
could be made gradually. SO as not to en-
harrass the financial condition of onr
appropriation. and would surely meet
The approval Of those whose lives are
constantly in jeopardy, MS well as til.
taxpayers of our city.

Still TALK OF PEACE
Outlook For the Ending of the Great
Steel Strike.

Pittsburg, Aug. 25.-ralk of peace In
the steel world continues in spite of the
deiiials that there is prospect of any by
either the officials of the United States
Steel corporation or the .Anlalgamated
association. President Shaffer has
made the statement that there was
nothing probable in this line SO far as
he knew. He denied positively that the
conference with the four visitors on
Friday had any significance and said
that the situation was unchanged. He
Willingly admitted that he would at
any time be glad to discuss peace with
the proper officials or their authorized
representatives, but this was all. In
spite of this statement there Is II strong
undercurrent of belief that there are
powerful Influences at work to bring
the warning Interests. together with the
idea of ending the disastrous warfare
that is unsettling the Industrial pros
perity of the country.
About the headquarters of the Anal
gamated association there was the usu-
al quiet. The callers We're few, and
the officers We're busy with mail matter
most of the day. OF the four men who
discussed matters pertaining to the
&strike with President Shatfer and the
other members of the advisory board
on Friday Ralph w. Easley. the secre-
tary of the National Civic federation,
and Henry White, secretary of the
Garment Workers of America, are in
Pittsburg. They remained over and say
they will be in Pittsburg for few
days They did not call at the Amalga-
m4t8d headquarters during the day

GOOD MEETINGS.
And Handsome Remembrance 10 the
Preacher

Protracted meetings at Union Mills
closed Sunday with six additions.
Four by confession, one by letter, one
reclaimed. Success of the meeting
was not so much in the additions to
the church, as to the love and unity
among the people. Unity of the
church and love for one another, es-
pecially for the pastor. Perhaps there
is no pastor, who is held in higher
esteem by his people than Bro. Pettitt
He had the attention of every one in
his meeting Saturday night. Mrs.
Shelley presented him with a purse
of S15.S5, with which to paper his new
home. But a greater act followed.
On Sunday evening Bro. Joel Brown,
of Des Moines, presented him with
$40, contributed by 70 young men, mot
members of the church. This noble
act will be recorded in heaven, and
to the credit of these men. He was
made to stand up, while everyone
shook hands with him, and by so do
ing, wiehing him Gods choicest
blessings. He will always remember

HIGHLANDERS' BAND.
The Famous Kites Give Two Fine
Concerts in Town.

Oskaloosa was given a treat Friday
afternoon and evening in the form of
tine Scotch military baud Of the Ash
Highlanders. The band consists of
about forty people and dressed in
their native cloaks and kits they
made quite an imposing appearance.
The afternoon performance was well
attended, nearly every seat being
taken. There were many present
from out of town, What Cheer and
Rose Hill quite Il aTge dele
CATION. The mu~ic f.. I was I'm
usually fine introducing al the old
Scottish melodies. Bandmaster Stat
ter is cerisI a master of his art
and puts the music through with a
snap and vim Il at adds g,eatly to
the performance. = W ] native
dances were given including the
Highland fling and sword dance, the
latter e-preially pleasing the audi
ence.
The evening performance was quite
poorly attended, the lower floor be-
ing almost vacant. The balcony how
ever was well filed and proved to be
very appreciatiye auatenee. The
entertainment was well worth the
price of admission and no true Scotch
man could help being stir ed by the
old times. Many 4 the numbers were
encored again and again and the
performers responded readily to all
demands. The performance was dis
tinctly first class and it is to be hoped
that this will not be their last visit to
oskalooss.
