DON'TOVERLOOK THIS
A careful Perusal Will Prove It's
Value to Every 0skaloosa
Reader.

The average man is doubter, and
there is little wonder that this is so.
Misrepresentation make people
skeptics. Nowadays the public ask
for better evidence than the testi-
mony of strangers. Here is proof
which should convince every Oska-
loosa reader:
Mr., Walter Johnson, proprietor of
the wood yard, First avenue west
next door to Hagan & Smiths livery
stable says: 81 was taken with
pain across the lower part of my
back on both sides of my spine. It's

it just about prevented me from do

turbance but concluding that had

may not be anything wonderful about
this but to those in Oskaloosa who

FOUR STORY HOTEL.
Downing House to be Rebuilt
and Greatly Enlarged.

A big hotel improvement will be one
of the first steps made in the growth
Of Greater oskaloosa for the season
of 1908. The Downing House is to be
entirely remodeled and practically re-
built from basement to garret. It will
be made modern four story building
with elevators for passengers and
freight. 1t is likely fourth story
will be added to the entire hotel block.
There will be hot and cold water
and heat in every room and no i'm
provement that can be placed in
modern and thoroughly equipped
uouse will be omitted.
Mr.. Mccullough will have plans pre-
pared Immediately and the work will
be inaugurated in the early part of
the season. Just how the plans will
effect the present arrangement of the
house has not yet been determined
but it is very likely that the office
will be moved from its present loca-
tion to point nearer the center of the
first floor. Other changes will then
result in the arrangement Of the other
rooms.
In case much of change is effected
in the basement space will be here
provided for bowling and billiards.
When the work is completed the
house will stand as one of the very
best and most complete hotels to be
found anywhere in the state of Iowa.
The changes for the house will be SO
great that it will be practically inn
possible for Landlord Helm to con-
tinue in the operation of the house
while the work is in progress. The
hotel will most likely be closed dur
ing the course of the improvements
to be opened again by Mr.. Helm as
a new house.
The changes and the improvements
contemplated and planned will neces-
state the expenditure of between
thirty and forty thousand dollars by
Chas. McCulloch, who is part owner
of the block, and Mr.. E. H. Gibbs, who
also owns part of the block, states that
he is willing to keep up his end Of
the improvement. 1t will thus be
seen that the improvement contemp-
lated is to be one of the greatest that
has come to Oskaloosa in years. On
with the march.

Sanders & Beal claim that they are

ened his teeth upon his fathers arm

was made 10 relinquish his hold. \

Nelson threw himself upon II and
seized it by the neck with mis- teeth.
The young mans jaws had TO be pried
apart before the bowling animal could
be released. When he was taking

was put on = cot and his hands and

Before he reached here the mad fit had

might have been expected 10 talk
There was no sign OF insanity about
him when he was taken out to the

is it that We are always busy when

IT'S BECAUSE we are giving more
goods to the dollar than any store in

ITS BECAUSE that people who are
anxious 20 save money are finding out
that our goods are the same kind that
some other fellow is charging you 20
10 SO per cent more for than we do be-
cause he has it under another label.
IT'S BECAUSE we do not credit any

ing for no ''deadhead" accounts. Our
business is increasing every day. Our
customers are certainly satisfied or
business would not be in this condition.
IT'S BECAUSE no store in Phoenix

The Republican convention at Green's
boro was in it's makeup, half dozen
different kinds of a conglomerate, but
there was one prevailing purpose ana
idea around which every individual
atom clung with wonderful tenacty, and
that was Federal office holding. one
half of the convention was Federal pie

other half was made W of those VINO

Pritchard, the great pie-giver, was OF
course the central figure and it was
really amusing, as we'll as disgusting, to
see both the "ins'' and the "outs"

I might name a half dozen who were
not hoping for pie, but in every instance
could be traced some special reason for
their appearance and activity. Capt.
Price is perhaps not a candidate. but of
course he wants his son, Gus, to remain
in his present position as Assistant Uni

body who heard his bitter speech against
Judge Clark knows that he had a special
reason for coming out from his usual
