THE STATE AUTHORSHIP.

Burlington Hawkeye: We are
pleased to note the candidacy of B.
f. Carroll, editor of the Bloomfield
Republican, for the republican nomi-
nation for state auditor. We are
pleased for several reasons-the fit
ness of the man for the place, and
political Indebtedness of the state to
the Sixth congressional district. 1t
is many years since that section OF
the state has been represented in tho
executive council-not since Mr.. J. A.
T. Hull was secretary of state, We
believe. The stalwart republicanism
of the Sixth district which has fought
many a gallant and desperate fight
in the past quarter of a century, is
deserving of recognition. And Mr..
Carroll is a representative citizen who
may be most appropriately elected for
that purpose. For many years Mr..
Carroll has been a forceful, and al
ways reliable, factor in Davis county
politics. His paper has been a brave
and effective champion of the party.
Mr.. Carroll is a native of Davis coun-
ty and is about forty-two years old,
in the prime of life, matured in his
judgment, practical in his methods
and trustworthy in every relationship.
To have such a record and such an
estimate placed upon character and
ability in ones own home is some
thing to be proud of and something
that warrants the general public in
giving such character its support
Mr.. CarrolPs candidacy will be cor
aially seconded in various parts Of
the state and the bestowal upon him
Of the nomination will be a meriteo
recognition of faithful and capable
republican.

B0YHOOD DAYS.
Ned Walton Recalls Osikaloosa Days
of Ye OIden Time.

Ned Walton, In remitting for his
HERALD, writes some things in a note
concerning his boyhood days in this
city that make good reading for those
who knew the gentleman when he re-
sided here. The letter is dated from
the Blair hotel at Waynesburg, Pa,
Ned Walton, proprietor. Mr.. Walton
says:
"You will see by the letter head
that / am back in the hotel business.
/ am glad that Greater Oskaloosa is
forging to the front. know that IL
hustle and work will boom her the
HERALD surely deserves big part of
the credit, and wish you success, L
still have warm feeling for the old
town and still call it home, and it may
be my home some time in the future,
In writing this it takes me back to
thirty years ago when Dutch and I
were schoolmates, when we played
blank ali low 'on the old board walks
boards layed lengthways-the old
wooden awnings and kerosene lamps,
and last but not least, Levi Cook, the
chief of police, would send as home
at night when we got gay. In closing
wish the HERALD continued success,
which 1t surely deserves, and I wish
that Oskaloosa may be a city of 90
600 in the next ten years.
Yours most sincerely,

LAST MEETING.
Home and Current Events Department
o. w. G. Close Seasons Work.

The last meeting of the Home and
Current Events Department of the
Woman's Club was held last Thurs
day afternoon at the home of Mrs.
W. r. Lacey on First avenue east.
The first part of the program was de-
voted to music, papers, etc., and was
very interesting. Mrs. Falls gave q
vocal solo, Mrs. oppenheimer gave
several recitations and Miss Leona
McMillen read paper on "a Table
in Slang" by Geo. Aide, all of which
were highly appreciated. Mrs. Wood
ruff's sketch of "Cecil Rhodes VIII,
was also well received. This was fol-
lowed by guessing contest. Ques-
tions to be answered by the names of
flowers were passed and a very en-
joyable half hour was passed in this
way. Mesdsmes Rosecrans and Falls
cut for the prize, Mrs. Falls proving
the winner, Mrs, Abrams receiving
the "booby." AS it was the last meet
ing of the summer the ladies turned
it into a general social and a very
pleasant afternoon was passed. Light
Refreshments we're served.

And now that our meat market
men have come together and agreed
on hours of closing, the delivery of
meats, and other matters pertaining
to their line of business, why would
1t not be wise and profitable idea to
form a stock company, erect their
own slaughtering houses, etc., and
DO their own killing and caring for
their meats? We believe every stock
raiser in Mahaska county would en-
courage such movement and would
give them "pick of the herd" and we
do know that the patrons would "tip
their hat" to the butcher man for
good Mahaska grown corn-fed meat.

PEORIA GETS 1T.
Iowa Central Freight Department.
Taken TO Eastern Terminal.

Marshalltown, April 22.-The gem
eral freight offices ofthe Iowa Central
now located in this city are to be
transferred to Peoria May 1. Also
upon this date the general passenger
and ticket department of the Iowa
Central will be placed in charge of
Mr.. A. B. Cults, general passenger
and ticket agent of the Minneapolis
and st. Louis road, succeeding Mr..
George s. Batty whose resignation be-
comes effective May 1.
The change of the freight depart
ment to Peoris is contrary to all pre-
dictions as it was thought that tho
offices would be taken to Minneapolis
following the auditing department.
The freight department of the M. &
st. l.. will have charge of the north
ern business and the Iowa Central
will care for the eastern connections.

ROOM IN HEAVEN.


Taking verse from Revelation as
the basis of computation, some in
dustrious and probably uneasy fellow
has again been fighting on the dimen.
sions of heaven, says the New Orleans
Times. Democrat.
The text is in Nv: 81, and reads as
follows:
"And he measured the city with the reed
1900 furlongs. The length and the breadth
and the height of it are equal."-'
He concludes that this represents
space of ass, ,7s3, ,oss, 900, 200, ,OOO, 900
cubic feet.
The enterprising statistician sets
aside one half of this space for the
throne and the court of heaven, and
one-half of the balance for streets,
which would leave a remainder of
124, 1873, ,272 900 ,0OO, 900 1000 cubic feet
He then proceeds to divide this by
4O96, the number of cubical feet in a
room 16 feet square, and this process
gives him 80, 1921 ,s43, 75O, ,OOo, 900 rooms
of the size indicated.
He then proceeds upon the hypothe.
sis that the world now contains, al
ways has contained, and always will
contain 1000, ,0O0 inhabitants, and
that "a generation lasts for 33 1-3 years,
which gives total of number of in.
habitants every century of 2,297 ,O0O,-
900.
He assumes that the world will
stand 1000 centuries, or 100, 900 years,
which would give total of 1870 ,0OO,-
100000 Inhabitants for this period OF
time.
He then reaches the reassuring con-
clusion that IL 100 worlds of the same
size and duration, and containing the
same number of Inhabitants, should
redeem all the Inhabitants, there
would be more than 100 rooms of the
size indicated for each person.
Men have not thought so much
about the size of heaven. They have
probably always felt that there woulc
be ample room for those who would
be able to get there. II a lack o.
room. were possible, in the divine
order of things, it would probably bt
at the other place, judging from the
pronouncements that are made from
time to time.
Room has never been a matter o
serious consideration with men who
have paused long enough on thu
blessings which are to follow life o
righte eousness. The main question
and the one in which all men are mos
concerned, is the simple question o
the shortest, best and safest way
Put in different language, they wan
to know how to get there, and If tn,
studious statistician will figure ou
some plan that will meet with gen
eral satisfaction along this line, h
will probably smooth out the furrow
which now mark the faces of uneas
sinners.

who are interested in the work of the
game warden are under the impress
ion that the appropriation for con-
demning fishway through the Bona
parte dam was included in that which
the legislature failed to make. This
is incorrect, however. The bill author
izing the fish and game warden to con-
denim a fishway through the Bona

and passed some time before adjourn

priation with it for the purpose.

OSKALOOSA REAL ESTATE


About the cheapest thing in Oska-
loosa is real estate. This is a cur.
rent saying and a true one. This is
due to the fortunate fact that this
city has never had real estate boom.
Values here are not the result OF
speculation and imitation, but of growth
and development. In Oskaloosa prom
ise of growth is especially roseate.
This city has been an evolution out
of natural conditions. There is moth
ing here that is not on substantial
basis. The population is growing rap
idly. The city is concentrated. There
rs no waste city property. The su-
hnrbs are not outlying ones, but they
are adjoining ones. They are in the
nath of the city's growth. They are
in fact part of the city. A reasonable
price, and there are no unreasonable
nrices for real estate prevalent in this

immediate future. Now is a good time
for every man to buy a lot or two,
and build a home-if you don't build
this year your lot will not decrease
in value. 1t is bound to increase.
Look about you aid see how lots have
increased in value within the past few
years. What is true of the past is
going to be even better in the future.
Buy lot now and own your own

LIQUOR SELLING MONOPOLY

LIQUOR SELLING MONOPOLY.
Galva, a town of 456 inhabitants in
Ida county, is attracting attention as
a community which has made a sue
cess of the liquor selling monopoly.
A majority of the people here con-
cluded that it would help business to
permit the sale of liquors but when
several men proposed to open saloons
the council concluded that it would
be better to have one establishment
only and this the establishment of
the individual making the highest
bid for the privilege. Accordingly
bids were solicited and an offer of
100 was made and accepted. The
mulct law is strictly observed and
various evils connected with the sale
of liquor in the presence of strong
competition are absent. The citizens
claim the further advantage that the
marshal has only one place to watch
and that the monopolist watches the
bootleggers.

when your time is 40 valuaI

When your time is so valuable so
precious and so taken up that you
can not give few hours now and
then for the benefit of your city and
the community, how can you expect
your neighbor to spend his time and
his energy in your behalf and have
you reward him with fault finding
and "cussings." His time is worth
as much to him as yours is to you and
his business is just as important as
yours. We have all got to pull to-
gether or those who have been pull
ing will "buck."

/ the soldiers of the Civil War, and
never worked since, it is at the least
calculation twenty-seven miles. The
trip is we'll worth the fatigue, how.
ever, as every inch is historic ground
and furnished the most important
strategic point of the great struggle.
The pinnacle or top of Lookout Noun
tain, the great cave and the town OF
Cumberland Gap are all interesting,
but Major G. B. Cockrell's collection
of war and Indian relics attracts more
attention than any one of the others.
~
The Major owns the land from
which gushes the water power that
supplies the town of Cumberland Gap,
and for this he secures an annual
rental of $500 per year. He has build
ed his large home near the springs,
where the rushing waters furnish per-
petual music of wild and majestic
sort. Near his home stands an old
time log cabin, and in this cabin is
collection that would easily command
$1,000 in Chicago. 1t is the third
largest Of the kind in the world and
is the pride of the country. Unlike
most collections 1t is always open to
the public. The doors of the cabin
are seldom locked, but the natives
would no more think of molesting
single article OF Major Cockrell's than
they would of stealing grave stones,
which, according to tradition, cuts
the culprit out of all hope of heaven.
The owner is also liberal with his
wares and will part with anything of
which he has duplicate at nomi
nal figure. The Major is real major,
having won his title in the Confeder-
ate army. He still believes that If
the South had been possessed of as
much money and as many men as
the North the war would have come
to different end. The intervening
years, however, have softened his
bitterness and made of him philos-
opher. With a resignation fraught
with as much inildness as his actions
were wreathed with valor on the field
of battle, he is glad the war is over,
and that the blue and the gray can
meet on common ground and honor
the same old flag. RoUsTABoUT.
