ATLAS OF IOWA.
Iowa to Have Representation in {
Splendid Forthcoming Book.

William H. Wray, ex-mayor of the
city of Oskaloosa, who has recently
accepted position of permanent ma
ture with the Iowa State Atlas Pub
fishing company, of Davenport, was
home to spend Christmas and to fur
Their the interests of his company in
this city. The gentleman has been
quite successful in his work and has
sold number of the books in this
county. The city council voted the
gentleman a write-up OF the city Of
Oskaloosa and took a copy of the
book. He will now call among some
of the leading business men and man
ufacturers of the city to present a
proposition to give the city of Oska-
loosa page Of engravings.
The book is in reality one of the
finest state aliases ever attempted
by any state, and the labor neces-
sary in it's preparation is of a great
ness difficult to comprehend. The
size of the county maps is about fff-
teen by eighteen inches, a separate
map being made for each county.
The map of each county is complete
in every detail, being made up from
the records found at county seats. 1t
shows the location of all cities, towns,
villages, railways, highways, streams,
school houses, etc, etc.
In addition to the Typographical
! part of the work, accurate historical
sketches of each county are given,
and added to this Is a pictorial de
partment in which are illustrated the
more prominent cities and their in.
dustries, prominent features, public
buildings, churches, schools, and the
like, portraits of representative men,
and institutions. ... ...
| The work has been endorsed by
, the Worlds Fair Commission and
. some special charts are being pre-
pared from the work in progress tc
, be shown at the st. Louis Exposition
next year. The amount of labor that
has already been expended upon this
] work and the tasks that are yet to be
done marks it as one Of the largest
enterprises ever accomplished in the
state. The entire work is by Iowa
men and is being done in Iowa shops
The book will contain five hundred
or more pages and will be an invalua
BILE work of reference in many ways

Terrible Accident Befalls
LarImor, Iowa, Lovers.

Lorimor, Ia, Dec. ga Great
Western train cut short the romance
Of Louis Keith and Miss Ethel Reed,
two of the well known young people
of this vicinity, early this morning
While on their way home from
dance they were run down at the
north crossing. just outside of town.
and Keith was instantly killed. The
senseless form of Miss Reed was
found lying beside the track hours
after the accident, and it is feared
that her injuries and long exposure
win make her recovery hopeless.
Mr.. Keith and Miss Reed had been
sweethearts for some time, and il
was generally believed that they
we're engaged to be married. They
were struck at point where the
track is perfectly straight. The only
supposition is that they tried to
cross before the engine,
Both young people belonged to
wealthy families and were well
known socially.

derneath the conductors cap and a
strange voice calls for the tickets.

most people regarded him as a fix,

not decided as to future movement,
but we believe he will not remain
idle very long.

An Unfair Criticism,

A recent article in the Buxton
Eagle has done injustice to an Oska-
loosa business man, Mr.. Herman
Pfeifer, of the Pfeifer- Belmont Dry
Goods Company. Mr.. Pfeifer is not a
foe to the negro. On the contrary
he has done perhaps as much for the
race in Oskaloosa as has any other
business man of like means. Our

at this store, and ready response
when favor is asked.

as gay as this beautiful little city can

Substituting Democrat Frank
Harvey for Charles Motley en- the

strengthens that ticket, but to all
appearances it leaves Harvey in an
awkward position. He is the regular
nominee OF the Democratic party
for candidate for supervisor from
the Fifth District. The Home
Rulers nominate him straight for
supervisor. at-large. 1t is true that
some have "honors thrust upon
them" but it seems that Harvey's
honors are Of the double-barreled
kind.

EVASIVE PLATFORMS.

In the matter OF political platform
making ,drafters seem to be general
ly in the habit of having inserted
some certain plank whereby it is ex-
pected to catch the people by play
ing with them. There is saying
that you may be able TO "fool all the
people some of the time, some OF the
people all the time, but you cannot
fool oil the people all the time"
We will now undertake to quote q
plank from the platforms OF both
the Republican and Home Rule
parties aud now say that both can
not fool the people and the people
should know it, too. Here goes:
"8. We oppose all trusts, mon
opolies and corporation lobbies that
would interfere with Republican
policy or try to control prices or
supply and nd."-Republican
Platform.
81 We oppose all trusts and
monopolies; and we condemn cor
porate associations and combina-
tions devised for the purpose OF
evading the provisions of our parent
lsw, the Organic Act; and denounce
them as monopolistic defiance OF the
rights OF the people."-Home Rule
Platform.
