IMPERIAL BAKERY.
Extensive improvements Now Nearing
Completion.

The Imperial Bakery is making
pre- parations for doings business in
fine style. Geo. H. Kalbscb, who
owns the building, has added new
room to the back part of the establ-
ishment and this will be newly furn-
ished to be used as a kitchen and
bake room. 1t extends back to the
alley line and the width of the whole
store and cost several hundred dol
lars. In addition to this Mr. Kirk.
patrick, the proprietor of the bakery,
has put in new oven and it is I'M
doubtedly the finest in the state. 1t
is made of pressed brick and con-
structed unpon entirely new lines.
1t is put in by the Smaller Oven Co,
of Cleveland, and its capacity is
10000 loaves day. The fire is not
under the oven but at one end and
the heat is conducted by means of
fues so that it surrounds the oven
entirely. In this way the top as well
a the bottom is heated and uni
form temperature is obtained. On
one side is an aperture through
which a gas jet or electric light may
be run. tits provided with revolv-
ing reflector which when in place en-
tirely closes the opening throwing
the light inward and allowing no heat
to escape. The oven will cost 81 800
and is certainly the king of its kind.
1t is ready for use day or night and
is more than an ordinary conven-
fence. Mr.. kirkpatrick is sparing no
labor or expense TO make his establ-
ishment one of the best in the coun-
try and his efforts will surely not be
without result.

INTO DIES MONIES.
Colfax Hears Of New Iowa Cen
trail Move.

Colfax, June 14.-Rumors are afioat
here to the effect that the Cleveland
s, Indicate, in which Mrs. Alice M.
Butler, OF Des MONIES, j. b. Coffin
berry and others of Cleveland, Ohio,
will sell their rights and franchise
purchased for an interurban line be-
tween Des Moines and Colfax to the
10 "a Central railway. 1t is the gem
eral belief here, based on rumors
which seem Ito be we'll founded, that
the Iowa Central will extend it's line
from Newton to Colfax and then run
into Des Moines with a steam road
over the right. of way secured for the
interurban. Such q move would be
of great advantage to Colfax, a city
to and from which there is a continual
stream of travel owing to the health
full properties of the mineral waters.
1t would give this town three roads
to Des Moines, besides the electric
line. In addition, Colfax would have
another outlet to the east via Newton
and New Sharon to the main line of
the Iowa Central, which runs to
Peoria, north to Minneapolis and
connects south to Kansas City and
st. Louis.

Rev. ]. P. Engstrom rendered a
Public Reception.

Rev j. P. Engstrom, the new pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church,
was rendered reception last even
ing in the church that was generally
attended by the people of the church
and Sunday school and by large
number of the people of the other
church organizations of the city. The
hand of fellowship was freely extend
ed upon all sides and the gentleman
and his family were made to feel that
they had indeed been made welcome
to their new home in the city of
Oskaloosa.
Something OF formal program had
been arranged for the occasion. Rev.
j. W. Somerville of the Central M. E.
church talked and extended to the
new pastor welcome on the part of
the clergy of the city. He was fol-
lowed in his remarks by Rev Cato
Kaye of the Congregational church,
and by Rev. A. M, Duboc of the Bap-
fist church. These gentlemen were
followed by w. R. Cowan, who spoke
in behalf of the people of the church
body and the Sunday school. Prof.
Barnett sang solo and then Mr..
Engstrom was given the floor for
few minutes talk in response to the
words uttered by the speakers who
had preceded. Mrs. Engstrom also
acknowledged the welcome extended
in few well chosen sentences.
Then followed a season of hand
shaking and introductions. The
whole affair was marked by cor
diality and sincerity that was felt
by all. Mr.. and Mrs. Engstrom and
family were truly made to feel that
Oskaloosa is their home and that the
people of the c ty are pleased to have
them of their number. Frappe was
served during the social part of the
evening and the affair was made very
homelike and pleasant.

Facts and Fancies of What is
Doing in 0skaloosa.

The section men on the Burlington

tension toward this city soon. The
construction will be pushed to the

The windstorm at Peoria Tuesday
night wrecked the big round house
there. Thirteen locomotives, owned
by the Illinois Central, two by the
Iowa Central, four by the Toledo,
Peoria & Western and FIVE by the Big
Four were almost totally destroyed.
~.
The Montezuma Republican says:
1T is to be regretted that the new
management of the Iowa Central is
willing to throw away the splendid
business built up on the Grinnell &
Montezuma branch in an effort to
tighten expenses. Only one train a
day is the program under the new
time card which went into effect Sun
day.
Nv
Jesse V. Long, Thos. j. Maxwell
and Chas. Mason, three Iowa Central
engineers, have been transferred
from this city to their runs between
Abba and Albert Lea, and will here
after have their terminals in one or
the other of those places. The gen.
tlemen will continue their home in
this city for time at least.
The engineers crew on the pro-
posed o. & T. electric line are at work
on the permanent survey between
here and Montezuma and appear to
be rushing things. The necessary
aid has been voted to put it in oper-
alton soon in most of the territory
crossed.

Some of the steel for the new Skunk
river bridge that has been lying in the
south Oskaloosa yards for the past
several weeks was loaded onto fiat
cars this morning and removed to
Skunk River where it will be used as
required. The steel was heavy and
the loading required considerable
labor.

Gilt Edge Stock.

The Blyson Oil and Gas Company,
of Wheeling, WA, which has already
won for itself the title of the most
progressive and enterprising oil com
pany in America, is paying its share
holders the extraordinary dividend of
5 per cent per month. When one re-
fleets upon the fact that the savings
banks throughout the country do not
even pay their depositors this much
interest per year, it is certainly re-
freshing to find solid institution like
the Blyson which conscientiously dis
tributes it's earnings among its share
holders with such lavish hand.
The Blyson Company, which struck
it rich in the oil business from the
very start, has been paying this divi-
dend for long time past, month in
and month out, and with new wells
coming in all the time. it is said that
this rate of interest (large as it isl
will actually be increased in the near
future.
There are few shares of stock to
be had yet at 40 cents per share, and
parties contemplating a solid and safe
investment would do we'll to buy some
OF these before the entire allotment is
exhausted and participate in the next
dividend of per cent which will be
paid in July.
Shares will certainly go to par be-
fore the summer is over.
A postal addressed to the Blyson Oil
and Gas Company, rooms 206-207 Pea

prospectus of the Company, maps

THE PENNY CURE
A New Panaeea Discovered for Various
IndispOsitiOns.

A new cure known as the shot
penny cure" has struck the city and
in point of effectiveness the cold
water cure is said to be far distanced.
The hot penny is designed for loaf
ers who occupy stations and pedes-
tails in prominent places or who drop
into chairs in barber shops and other
places and close their lids for quiet
nap. The cure has also been sue
cessfully applied to workmen in GER
tain lines of trade who have formed
the habit of snoozing while on duty
and also to the bibulous friend who
makes such a terrible nuisance of
himself here and there. The modus
operandi is about as follows: A cop
per cent is placed on stove, in
flame, on furnace, or wherever the
necessary degree of heat may be ac-
quired. A piece of dampened paper
is next placed on the leg of the sleep
ing subject or upon any convenient
spot OF his anatomy. The red hot
penny is then applied to the top of
the paper. The result is said to be
electrical in the extreme. For jags
it is said to be better restorative
than any bromide yet discovered. 1t
cuts short sweetest slumber with q
certainty that has never been known
to fail and it iuiects activity into
bones that have not been known to
move in years. II infested with any
of the above mentioned species try
the hot penny and be convinced of
its excellence.
