NEED OF HOSPITAL.
Another Experience Indicating the
CItS's Poverty

A man giving the rame of Chas.
Moran came to the Mayors office
last night and asked to be taken care
Of. He said he was sick and seemed
to be in a very bad condition. Moran
said he had been working on the sec
ton near Fremont and had been taxi
ing treatment from the doctor there.
He said the physician told him he
had better come to oskaloosa be-
cause there was a hospital here. He
arrived last night and the ride had
made him much worse. He had no
money and asked to be taken in
somewhere for the night. There was
nothing to be done but take the man
to the Jail and he was made as COM
Portable as possible there. DR.. Wendell
was called TO attend to the case and
the m an seemed to be improved this
morning.

TRADE REVIEW.
Business Generally Quiet in Tone
Attention Concentrated on In
dustriaI Developments.

New York. Aug 2.-Bradstreet's says:
"Trade is quiet, while attention is concen-
trated on crop and Industrial developments.
Generally lower prices tor farm products
point to the former being largely favor
able. Though weather conditions of late
have been more favorable, effects of ear
lier backward weather have not been etfaced
or repaired AS for the fall and winter
outlook, however. the best is predicted.
In Industrial affairs the outlook is cer-
tainly satisfactory. The iron and steel sit
uation Is still largely a strong one, but iso-
lated examples of weakness are in sight.
The railway situation is one Of the best in
years, and the outlook as to tonnage is
fattering one, marred only by the pros
pest of car shortages later on reducing or
curtailing Industrial operations. New
business in pig iron for 1908 is still Of good
volume but not so active as earlier. cur
rent deliveries are still delayed or insuifi-
cient, though helped out by freer importa-
lions of foreign iron. The production Of the
fiscal year ended June 30 was in excess OF
100000 tons, the output in the first half
of 1902 exceeding all records. Hardware is
active. especially for building. The 1901 rec
ord of building will be surpassed this year.
Lumber is stronger and higher at the west
and is recovering from summer dullness
at the east. Receipts and shipments are
far ahead of last year at all points.

earth
Are ever first to seek again
The country Of their birth.
And all things that for growth or joy
Are worthy of our love or care,
Whose loss has left us desolate.
Are safely garnered there.
Though life become dreary waste,
We know its fairest, sweetest flowers,
Transplanted into paradise,
Adorn immortal bowers.
The voice of bird-like melody
That we have missed and mourned
so long
Now mingles with the angel choir
In everlasting song.
There is no death! although we grieve
When beautiful, familiar forms,
That we have learned to love are torn
From our embracing arms.
Although with bowed and breaking
heart,
With sable garb and silent tread,
And say that they are dead"
They are not dead! they have but
passed
Beyond the mists that blind us here
Into the new and larger life
OF that serener sphere.
They have but dropped their robe of
clay
To put their shining raiment on;
They have not wandered far away
They are not 'lost' or "gone."
Though disenthralled and glorified,
They still are here and love us vet;
The dear ones they have left behind
They never can forget.
And sometimes, when our hearts grow
faint
Amid temptations fierce and deep,
Or when tie wildly raging waves
Of grief or passion sweep.
We feel upon our fevered brow
Their gentle touch, their breath OF
balm;
Their arms enfold us, and our hearts
Grow comforted and calm.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there are no dead.
