A FRIENDS ADVICE.

Read What an 0skaloosa
Citizen Says.

You may hesitate to listen to the
advice of strangers, but the testimony
of friends or residents of Oskaloosa
is worth your most careful attention.
1t is an easy matter to investigate
sncb proof as this. Then the evil
deuce must be conclusive. Read the
following:

S125,OOO FOR FAIR
Last Act of Iowa Legislature
A Good One.

Des Moines, April 12.-The Twenty
ninth General Assembly adjourned
sine die last evening at s:15 O'Clock.
Legally, it ended at noon, the clock
having been stopped at 1880 until
the business of the session was COM
pleted.
The st. Louis exposition bill mar
nowly escaped defeat because of the
disagreement between the senate
and house. The house insisted on
s150,000 and the senate on s125, 900.
The conference committees spent
two hours in contro versy over the
matter and finally the house receded.
The legislature passed about 225
laws. OF these fully 30 were legaliz
ing acts.
The extraordinary appropriations
amounted to about 81, 600, 900 available
for the ensuing biennial period.

RURAL MAIL BOXES.
officials to Recommend Plan which
Will Save Patrons Money.

Washington, April IA plan that
is expected to eliminate the dissatis-
faction that exists in connection with
boxes on rural routes is expected to
be submitted to Postmaster General
Payne next week.
The board of postal officials, ap-
pointed to make an investigation of
this subject, has been in session for
more than a week and is expected to
complete its labors within day or
two. The department has been en-
barrassed for some, time as a result
of the complaints made against the
requirements as TO the use of rural
boxes, the present regulations pro-
viding that one of fourteen designs
shall be used by patrons OF the rural
routes.
Complaints have also been made
that a trust controlled the various
ssigns adopted and that the prices
charged in many instances are out
rageous, and the boxes furnished
very poor. Another objection to the
present plan is that it is troublesome
to carriers where different boxes are
used on a route in that he is required
to carry several master keys.
If the plan that will be recon-
mended to the postmaster general is
carried out it will put an end to the
complaints that have been made on
this account in the past. The idea
favored by the board is that the de-
partment prepare design of box,
to be uniform the country over, of
simple workmanship, and that man
ufacturers who bid for the work must
follow such design.
This plan involves the sale by the
department of boxes to the patrons
direct. IL 10 estimated that if the
boxes are purchased in 100000 lots
they can be secured for S1.00 or less.
This is the plan being worked upon
and will be submitted to Postmaster
General Payne for his approval.

A REST ROOM.
Board Of Supervisors VIII Permit Use
Of Court House Basement

A committee of the Oskaloosa
Woman's Club appeared before the
Board of Supervisors Friday after
noon and laid before them plan for
"rest room" for the city. The two
rooms on the north west corner of
the county court house basement
floor are desired. The Club and the
Board of Trade proposed that the
county fit these rooms as desired by
the clubs with toilet rooms and
closets and after they are turned over
to the clubs they will be maintained
at no further cost to the county.
The plan meets with great favor at
the hands of the board members and
the plan will be acted upon immedi-
ately. The cost will amount to quite
little item but the board is of the
opinion that the room is a crying
need in Oskaloosa for the accom-
mediation of the county. Such place
should by right and justice be a
prominent feature of every county
building.
1t is proposed to give the rooms
greater light by enlarging the
windows. An outside entrance will
be made on the north side. The plan
is wise one in all ways and should
be carried out.
