LETTER TO M. R. KNOWLTON,
RETFAST ME-

Dear Sir: Good yarn: How we got our
agent at Delhi, n. Y.
Gladstone & Paine were agents for;
we mustn't tell names. We wanted 'em.
Paine was painting his big Colonial house.
Said it took 10 gallons of white for the trim.
We sent him 10 gallons and said: if you
get it all on, no pay if you have any left.
return it and pay for the rest. Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took the
agency. Four or five years ago. He knows
now that his old paint was and is adulter.
ated; that's why it took ten gallons to equal
six of ours.
Go by the name; there is but one name to
go by: Devoe lead and zinc.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEvoE & Co.
New York.
P.S. Mason & Hall sell our paint.

IN discussing the crusade of The La
dies Home Journal against patent
medicines, Medical Talk well SAYS that
Alcohol is an absolute necessity in
most medical compounds. There is no
other way to keep them in solution or
to prevent decomposition" 1t then
strikes at the root of the matter when
1t says OF the patent medicines: en-
curry should be made as to whether
cures are really produced. If the al
legged cures are fraudulent they ought
to be exposed, and the publishers of
such fraudulent statements should be
prosecuted" The Ladies' Home Jour
nal undoubtedly made mistake in its
lndlscriminate attack upon all patent
medicines. Under this head are in
cluded many standard remedies, in
daily use by physicians, and in the
household.

pleasing to note that fact"

NO TIME FOR HEARST.

In an interview published in the
Des Moines Register and Leader,
Thomas ]. Phillips, of Ottumwa, once
democratic nominee for governor Of
Iowa, and even now one of the pow
ers in democracy in the Sixth district
declares that Charlie" Walsh, secre.
tary of the democratic national COM
mittee, is on his political deathbed.
"Old line democrats of Ottumwa,
as well as the remainder of the Sixth,
are gathering their forces to put
Walsh out Of the arena for all time to
come" he says, land at the same
time blast the hopes of Hearst in
Iowa.
while the Straight democratic
organization of that part of the state
hopes to kill two birds with one stone
in the elimination of these two objec-
tionable features, and believes that
the death of one will inevitably result
in the passing of the other, the fight
is as much against Walsh as against
Hearst
While l do not presume to speak
for the entire Sixth district" said Mr..
Phillips yesterday, cit is my firm be-
lief Hearst's strength there is scatter
ing. Democrats have no confidence
in him. They see nothing about him
that entities him to any claim as a
leader. He lacks the craftsmanship
and generalship that characterized
Bryan and about the only fellows
down our way who are climbing into
his bandwagon are the ones who get
paid before they get in.
"And want to say that in my opIn.
ion Hearst could have found a much
better aggregation to push his candi
dacy in Iowa. Nowhere in Iowa are
his managers representatives of the
democratic party. He opened UP

soon as any other part of the state, ]

AN INTERuRRAN LINE.

Buring the past three years Oska-
laesa 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 line to this city could not
be overestimated. 1t would be equal
to doubling the population of Oska-
Isesa 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, and he estimates the num-
Der 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 line put into operation would
mean much to the business interests
Of the city. They favor such propo-
sitlons in general, but are negligent
about giving substantial support that
weuld make possible the completion
Of such an enterprise.
0skaloosa is situated in the center
Of on 4 the best farming and min
ing s ons of the state. 1t is an
impor industrial and jobbing cen

belonged, which ne has not success
fully filed More than thirty years
ago, ne filed the station at Monte
yuma, during the period Of my resi-
dence there; and afterwards he was
also stationed for several years at
Oskaloosa. He was a successful able
and conscientious minister OF the
Gospel, But of his work in the min
istry, others are more competent to
speak than I.
He was chaplain of my regiment,
the 2Sth Iowa Infantry; and 1t was
in this capacity that / first became
fully acquainted with him, and learn
ed to love him. He went out with
the regiment and remained in the SER
vice, faithfully performing the du-
ties of his Office during the entire
three years service of the regiment.
Unlike many chaplains, he remained
with the boys to the end. Being In
tensely loyal to his country, he ex-
ercised a remarkable influence over
the soldiers of his regiment, and
never shirked from any responsible
ties, no matter how dangerous the
service might be. He found time,
not only to perform the duties Of his
Office, but also to assist the comrades
in many other ways.
While ME did not possess a colIegI-
ate education, he was good thinker,
strong, logical speaker, and at
times exceedingly eloquent. He had
the esteem of all of the members OF
his regiment, and when he left the
service, there was not member OF
the regiment who did not consider
him personal friend.
At the close of the war he returned
to the practice of his profession, but
he found time to write a History OF
the 2Sth Iowa Regiment. This his
tory is reliable and is accepted by the
members Of the regiment as a true
history of its three years service.
At the reunions of the regiment
held since the war, he was always a
conspicuous figure, and his talks al
the Icamp-fires were enjoyed as feat
| ure of those occasions.
He has never wavered in his sup
port of republican government. never
has turned from the straight paths
of duty into by-paths to advocate
side issues, and has frowned upon al
attempts to weaken the government
or to break down the party of the
Union under which the war was pros
ecuted to a successful issue.
He was a faithful friend and an at
tractive companion, and in public
life, an able advocate, conservative
and at all times ready to defend the
fundamental principles of the gov
eminent.
