SINGS OUR PRAISES,

"Oskaloosa is today the best sd
vertised town in the state, i" remarked
a gentleman at the Hotel Downing
Saturday evening. "You hear Oska-
loosa in the hotel lobby, Oskaloosa
on the trains; it's Oskaloosa for
breakfast, dinner and supper, and
when you pick no the daily paper in
any part of the state it's what has
been doing at Osksloosa. Oskaloosa
seems to be the one topic of convers-
alton on the runs between towns and
my wife has accused me lof talking
about Oskaloosa in my sleep. Now
that l have reached the place do
find that the town is worthy all that
is being said about it. 1t is the liveli-
est and the most progressive town In
Iowa TODAY, and if all of the things
that are being said come to pass you
will have one of the largest inland
cities in the west within the next de-
cadeD

MEN MUST STAND AT ATTENTION.
DEPUTY COMMISSIONER PIPER HAS A NEW
RULE OF DISCIPLINE.

Deputy Commissioner Piper's latest rule for the
Police Department provides that the entrance
into q station house OF police captain. inspector
or Commissioner the present must rise and

only delinquent member Of the force that he found
was d patrOman who leaning against wall in
Forsyth-st Captain Piper said he cautioned the
man. and that he did not think he would make any
mplaint against him.
The only thing that seemed to trouble the Deputy
Commissioner the failure OF the in the
stations to pay him what he deems the proper
amount OF respect. Under the new rule as soon as
the commanding otIcer of a precinct sees a Com
missioner or Deputy Commissioner appear In the
station he must call out In loud voice attention."
whereupon the policemen in the must stand
until the official goes away. This is military
discipline Captain Piper. and that is what the
department must have
