AN INTERuRRAN LINE.

Buring the past three years Oska.
le0sa has agitated the building of an
electric line down through the coal
fields southwest of town as far as
Buxton and Bussey. The advantages
OF such a line to this city could not
be overestimated. 1t would be equal
to doubling the population of Oska-
leosa in a business way, and would
open up wonderful Wholesale trade.
A representative of the business end
of the Herald has been working down
through the territory during the past
two weeks,an he estimates the num-
her of people contiguous to an inter
urban line at fully $4,000. He also
finds that everyone of them would
like to come to Oskaloosa often. The
farmers especially would like to come
to this city where they would find a
better market for their products.
There are doubtless few citizens of
0skaloosa who do not recognize that
such a line put into operation would
mean much to the business interests
Of the city. They favor such propo.
sitions in general, but are negligent
about giving substantial support that
weuld make possible the completion
of such an enterprise.

of on { the best farming and min

NEWS AS 1T REACHES
THE RUSSIAN CAPITAL.

st. Petersburg, July Is. 4:25 a. H.
News from the front. both official and
unofficial, is remarkably scant. Lieut..
Gen. Sakharoff's report, which brings
the situation up to July TO- does not
mention the occupation of Yin Kow,
but speaks of the Russians driving out
the Japanese from the coast town Of
Huantichan between Yin Kow and Kai
Chou
ON the other hand, according to Gen.
Sakharoff, the advance to Tatchekiao
is continuing leisurely. The Japanese
advance parties apparently are retir-
ing southeastward of Tatchekiao
While strong parties are entrenching
between Fenshui and Molten passes.
A special dispatch from Lao Yang,
the date of which is doubtful though
seemingly about contemporary with
Lieut.. Gen. Sakharoff's report says:
"A British gunboat appeared off Yin
Kow July Is CD. The commander
wanted to enter the port to guard the
interests of the British residents in
view of the probability that the town
may shortly be occupied by the Japa-
nese The commander of the Russian
eunboat Sivoutch hoisted a battle flag,
went out and requested the British
vessel to draw Off which 1t did. 1t is
reported the gunboat returned later
with two other vessels. All three put
to sea that night.
The enemy is continuing the adj
vance. Gen. Mistchenko's force in
warm skirmishes south of Kanchi dis
covered a big force of japanese NOV
ing toward Tanchi and Simautchen.
The groups of Japanese to the south
ward remain about stationary"

WAITING TO SEE IF THEY
HAVE STIRRED UP A ROW.

st. Petersburg, July 17-The news
that the Russian volunteer steamships
Smolensly and st. Petersburg, now
cruising. in the Red sea, are stopping
ships of neutral nations and searching
them for contraband of war, is caus-
ing the liveliest interest in all circles.
Russia has evidently weighed the ques-
ton, believes herself to be within her
rights and neither fears nor antici-
pates international complications. In
deed, some of the powers may have
been sounded by Russia on the sub
ject. Nevertheless foreign opinion Is
awaited eagerly and more or less criti-
eism is expected.
Members of the diplomatic corps are
keenly anxious to ascertain the views
their governments will take of the
passage through the Dardanelles of
these vessels of the volunteer fleet as
merchantmen and their subsequent
conversion into men-of-war. Another
interesting question raised Is as to
whether coal is contraband of war and
can be supplied or not to Russian men

Important Measures Ahead.

SONS OF senators indicate that this
measure will be passed with good
margin of votes over constitutional
majority. This bill has already been
passed by the House by large vote.
The only objection to it seems to be
the rear that in some of the counties

amendment providing that the act
should first be approved by the grand
jury before going into effect in any
county not been stricken out. This
year | think the fight will be almost
wholly on the question of making the
bill apply solely to primary elections.
That would make it entirely effective
since the primary elections decide ev-
erything, and there would really be no
necessity for applying it to general
elections
The other two important measures
which the Senate has under considera-
ton at present in the committee rooms
are the two bills by Mr.. Hall of Bib,
which have passed the House, one to
provide for a board of tax assessors to
assess corporation property such as is
now returned to the Controller Cen
eral and the other to require all rail-
roads which enjoy the right of emil
nent domain and of public franchises
in the state to secure Georgia charters.
This last measure is, it is said, aimed
at the Southern Railway. Both of these
measures will bring forth warm de-
bates in the Senate, and it is expected
they will meet with considerable oppo-
sition.

New York, July 17.-Former Senator
Henry G.. Davis of West Virginia, the
Democratic nominee for vice presi-
dent of the United States. arrived in
this city tonight and is staying at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel When asked
If there were any incidents of interest
In his trip, he said:
"Of course saw now and then
along the road some one I knew and
said How do you do but nothing else
happened that I recall. Last night l
stayed over in Keyser, where l have a
bachelor brother; came on to Wash
ington. then to Philadelphia and then
here"
oyster Bay was mentioned and the
Senator asked several questions about
the President and his manner of Hv-
ing.
And what is the truth about the
trouble with the miners delegates who
failed to see the PRESIDENT" he asked
with considerable interest.
All the details OF the affair were
explained to him and he listened at
tentively without the slightest COM
ment.
He asked in an interested way what
effect Judge Parker's gold standard
telegram had in this part of the East
and how the work of the convention
was generally regarded When told
that there were rumors in some sec
lions that Bryan's followers were now
coming forward and taking control of
affairs, he replied: That cannot be.
] do not believe It, There is less of
the communistic and Socfalistic feel
ing in the country than has existed
in many years and there will be no
quarrels in the Democratic party.
II was on the subcommittee that
made the st. Louis platform and had
an opportunity to know something of
the feeling. I sat between Mr.. Hill
and Mr.. Bryan and l can assure you
there is no truth in rumors of war in
the party"
Mr.. Davis spoke very highly of Will
liam j. Bryan and characterized him
as a Strong, moral man and very
good in his family"

I'VE are all born with an aversion

we can fly by merely beating on the

such instances. There is Vincent the

in the subject a year or so ago, and

somewhat unusual topic by personal
inquiries among my friends and ac-

One man told me he couldn't touch a

to partake of it, but without success.
