T%IVE of the brilliant soldiers of
- the old world who drew their
swords to battle for American
independence especially deserve
to be remembered on the Fourth of
July. Two of the number were French
men, Lafayette and Rochambeau; two
Poles, Kosciusko and Pulaski, and one,
Steuben, German of the Germans.
Lafayette, young, impulsive and brave,
is perhaps the hero of them all in a
romantic sense. He captivated the
American fancy by his noble bearing
and his unshrinking, devotion. With
out him France would probably never
have become the ally of the patriots;
without him Rochambeau would net
have led French army on American
battlefields, and but for his influence
in Paris Steuben would not have been
enlisted in the fight for human liberty
on American soil. AS an aid on the staff

of Washington, Lafayette showed such
gallantry in battle, united with genius
for doing the right thing, that he was
given the command of troops. At Mon
mouth he saved the division first in

from disaster and disgrace.
Returning to France, he succeeded in
securing land and naval force to
serve as an auxiliary to Washington's
command in the colonies. The result
was the dispatching of a French feet
under D'Estaing and 5000 soldiers led
by Rochambeau Lafayette was given
a special corps of light infantry made
up of colonials. This body he led to
Virginia to fight the traitor Arnold, who
had gone over to England's side. By
junction with "Mad Anthony" Wayne
Lafayette headed off the British inva-
sion of the interior Of Virginia and

shott, white boy 10 years OF age,
and prisoner in the county jail
charged with horse stealing, last
evening about 9 O'Clock cut the
throat of William Trent, a colored
fellow pris oner, with razor, almost
severing the head from the body,
and causing instant death. There
was no provocation for the act as far
as can be learned. Trent was play
ing cards when Hendershott came up
be hind him and after Watching the
game about twenty minutes reached
around end deliberately drew razor
across his victims throat. Trent
was massage artist and conducted
a sanitarium here until arrested on a
charge OF attempting criminal oper-

A LARGE HOUS E.
Mrs. HOstetter is Making a, Notable
Improvement.

One of the largest residences in, the
city has been commenced at the cor
ner of Third avenue and First street
by Mrs. Laura Hostetter to be used
as double residence for herself and
J. w. Mcdonald. The house will
contain y rooms exclusive of hall
ways, closets and pantries. Will be.
full two stories with basement under
all and large garrett. 1t will occupy
almost all of the lot 60x120 feet. The
style of the architecture is quite plain
but pleasing and unlike any thing in
the city at the present. The plain
ness approaches severity but this is
over come by the appearance OF sub
stantial and thorough construction.
The plans call for the most careful
work from foundation footings to
roof braces. The building is all in
one but the construction Is such that
the two residences will be entirely
separate with q dead air space Ia be-
tween the dividing walls. One front
will be on the First street side and
the other on the Third avenue side
well toward the east end. Everything
about the building will be of the most
substantial sort and the finishing will
be quiet elegant. The worth of the
completed property will be between.
eight and ten thousand dollars.
W. B. Hadley has the contract for
the construction which fact Is a guar
antee that the work will be well and
thoroughly done.
The excavations for the foundation
have been completed and the laying
of brick in the foundation walls have
been comm ended,

FATAL TEMPERATURES.
Degrees Of Heat and cold at which
life Cannot BE Long Sus-
tained.-

At what point does life begin? So
far as regards space or time, the.
question is unanswerable, states the
London Telegraph. Only few years
ago it would have been said that in
regard to that seemingly essentialeon-
dition Of life temperature we did know
pretty nearly superior and inferior
limit. Little of life is there below
the freezing point Of water, and far
above or below these critical points
we should expect even germ-life to
be destroyed. When our greatest
physicist, in 1871, suggested that seeds
of plants might have been bornei to
this world in a far-distant age, the
hypothesis seemed incredible, because
the temperature of space, being at
least as low as minus 40 degrees Gen.
tigrade, would be fatal to life in any
form. This is not so. Recently at the
Jenner institute bacteria have been
frozen in liquid air and even in liquid
hydrogen, and on the application Of
heat and placed in proper media have
terminated. The processes of life
were arrested, but the nascent life
energy was not destroyed at 200 de-
grees Centigrade, say, 800 degrees
Fahrenheit of frost. Experiments are
now being made to find whether long
continuance for months or years in
such cold takes away the vitalism of
these lowest forms of life.

LOCAL OIL COMPANY
0skaloosa Men Organize a Strong
Concern.

The Oskaloosa Midway Oil & Land
Company is new enterprise for Os-
kaloosa, and is one of the strongest
concerns of the kind ever organized
in Iowa. AS noted elsewhere to-day
its stock for the first time has been
placed on the market and it will go
for short time only at 20 cents per
share. The gentlemen behind the
enterprise, as shown by the following
directory are guarantee OF reliable
ity and good business judgment:
Fred y. Green, president.
DR., A. j. Hunter, vice president.
Louie E. Smith, treasurer.
J. Il. Pickett, secretary.
DIR. ]. s, Henderson, Thomas B.
Emmert and M H. Davidson, direct
ors.
The holdings of the new company
are in the celebrated Midway district
of California, which have been proven
to be among the richest produc n,
oil fields in the world. The company
has opened offices and headquarters
in the Phelps building on North
Market street, and invite the public
to come and investigate whether
they intend to purchase or not.

of the almost empty defenses, ready to
rush them with the "rebel yell"
There were few old soldiers in the
defenses, several hundred feeble con-
yaIescent soldiers from the hospitals
having been required to go on duty.
But the rifle pits were poorly defended
by raw recruits. Gen. Early knew
this, and he was anxious to take Wash
ington before the arrival of the union
veterans, whose coming had been told
him by telegraph from Richmond.
Government clerks, under command
of few veterans, had erected barri-
cades along the streets and avenues
leading to the treasury and white
house, and had placed artillery there,
but they could not have withstood the
onset of the yeteranz- 1t seemed that
nothing but an act of Providence
could prevent the capture and footing
of the national capital. Why, then,
ala Early hesitate? Why did he waste
precious hours, when he knew the
need of haste?
In his official report Gen. Early
saws: "A short time after noon July

infantry, j got in sight Of the fortffca-
tions of Washington. into which .

FEW MEN DYE THEIR HAIR.
ing for Says a COM
municative Bapber.

Hair dye among men has almost
passed out of use, says the New
York Sun. One barber, who has for
years been employed in the best of
the city barber shops, told Sun re-
porter the other day that he had not
been called upon to dye tie hair or
beard of a customer for 20 years.
81 remember" he said, shat the
last time l had to do it was toward
the end of the winter of 1882. Since
that time there have been so few APP
plications to have anything of the
kind done that we do not now even
make any preparations for the jobs,
and don't believe that there is a
bottle of any kind of hair dye in the
place.
81 can remember, however, when
the situation was very different. In
the old days men dyed their mus
taches and even their hair on the
slightest provocation. Red-headed
men used to dye their hair as mat
ter of course, and as soon as the
gray hairs began to appear the GUS
tomary resort was to the dye. But
that is all changed now.
"There are, of course, many men
who still dye their hair and boards,
but they are not the kind that pat
ronize the expensive barber shops. I
think it would be found that most
of them did it for business purposes.
Gas it is hard for them to get GER
tain kinds of work when they are
gray haired, they are compelled to
resort to dye. But men have, as a
rule, quite given up the use of it,"

WAGES RESTORED
And Miss Evans Will Retain
Place in the Schools.

The Oskaloosa School Board has
rescinded its action of a meeting held
earlier in the season and has placed
the teaching force of the Oskaloosa
public schools back on their former
scale of wages. This does away with
the reduction in the amount of re-
Enumeration that was ordered by the
Board and brought such storm of re-
monstrance about the heads Of the
Board from the people of the city
generally. The action of the Board
also retains to the city valuable SER
vices of Miss Mae j. Evans who I'M
der the former action of the Board
had resigned her position.
The Boaad met in a special session
Saturday evening. The matter was
thoroughly canvassed and discussed
and the first action of the body was
the abolition of the present system of
teacher supply that has been in vogue
in the city schools for number of
years. 1t was voted to entirely do
away with this system of supply and
when teacher is desired to fill a
vacancy other methods will be en-
ploye ed in procuring the services de-
sired.
Following the passage OF this new
rule or the doing away with the old
rule the board voted to restoring the
former action aud to restore the old
scale of wages.
The resignation of Miss Bertha
Tenent was received and accepted
and Miss Mae j. Evans was elected
to place in the schools. Places have
