FAITH IN OSKALOOSA.
Davenport Man Makes Good Invest
ment in 0skaloosa.

The latest gentleman to be attract
ed by the advantages for investment
in Greater Oskaloosa is Mr.. c. T.
Block, of Davenport. Mr.. Block is
state agent for the Singer Sewing Ma
chine company, and in his visits to
Oskaloosa has become attached to
the city. He has just backed up his
faith in the town by buying the prop
erty known as the DR.. Brewster build.
ing, at 218 High avenue west.
The building as it stands is in good
shape, but Mr.. Block expects to re-
bVild and enlarge it and make it mod
ern in every way. He will put in a
new front and will build a two-story
addition at the rear, fifty feet long.
City heat and other conveniences will
be installed.
Up to the time of DR.. Brewster's
death the building had been used by
him as dental parlors. Since his
death the business has been continued
by DR.. w. H. Reilly, What the en-
larged building will be used for is not
stated as yet, but the property is N
a fine location, and will command a
good tenant.
The construction of the intefdrban
and the other big things that have
come to Oskaloosa this year have ar
forded the attractions that are bring
ing many new people and much add.
tional capital to Oskaloosa.

THE BOYS REMEMBER.
Accident to the Manchuria Recalls
Exciting Experience.

Members of the Fifty-frst Iowa Vol.
unteers are especially interested in
the accident to the steamship Man
churia which ran onto coral reef
OFF Oahu Island near Honolulu a few
days ago. When making the trip to
the orient to fight the Spaniards and
Filipinos, the Iowa soldiers on the
army transport Pennsylvania ran onto
the same reef. Speaking of the ex-
perience today, Postal Clerk Wilbur
Bass said:
ION the night of the experience we
were moving slowly in the harbor,
and the transport signaled for a pilot,
but no one coming, the transport
started to move in the harbor. We
hit the reef about nine o'clock in the
evening, and we were scared, l can
tell you. The whole boat shivered
and we thought we were on our way
to Davy Jones' locker. We all ran out
on deck and the captain ordered every
mothers son of us aft,-that is to the
back part of the boat. Our bow
that's the front part-had hit the reef.
There were 1,200 Of US and all went
aft. Our weight raised the vessels
bow and We floated off, the engines
reversing. The damage was not ser.
ious."

A WONDERFUL MEETING
Sixty-seven People Respond to Call
to be Saved.

Lords Day, Sept. 20 was a red
letter day in the history of the Chris
tian church in Oskaloosa. 1t marks
the greatest ingathering Of souls into
the kingdom of God that has ever
been the good fortune Of the church
to witness. Sixty-seven persons re-
sponded to invitations that were CIV
en- at the various services held at .Ae
church yesterday. Ninety per cent OF
them came to obey Christ and begin
a new life. The smaller number were
received by letter or statement from
other churches where they had held
membership before coming to oska
loosa. 1t is doubtful il this record
has ever been equaled in any Of the
Oskaloosa churches. This makes
hundred and two who have taken
membership in the two weeks in which
the meeting has been in progress
1t is a great victory for the cause OF
Christ and has come about quietly by
the combined earnest efforts of the
evangelist, the pastor, the singers and
the whole church. Rev. Cory is well
known and loved in the city and
county. Mrs. Emily Collins Of Keo
kuk, Iowa, who has charge of the
song service, has won her way to the
hearts Of the growing audiences by
her sweet songs and her winning man
ner. She sings the wonderful story
of love as exemplifled in the life oil
Christ in a clear voice and unaffected
grace which convinces one that the
deepest joys of her own life come
from the spiritual truth expressed In
the song. quite a number could moi
be seated last night. Every avail
able space was occupied. In order
that the speaker might have a better
view of his audience, Rev. Cory spoke
from a dry goods box two and hal
feet high, so situated that he coulC
view his audience in both rooms
Emergencies ike this are not novel tt
missionary fresh from the field
They are every day experiences. The
church feels as though the meeting
has just rightly begun. Come tonigh
and bring a friend. M. H.

NATURALIZATION LAW.
New Statute Revolutionizes Pro.
cedure of Courts.

County Clerk L. E. Corlett is in re-
ceipt Of copy of the new naturaliza-
ton law which goes into effect Sep
TENDER 27. The statute is one of con-
siderable Importance, as it almost
revolutionizes the mode and procedure
of changing an alien into an Ameri-
can citizen. 1t was passed to correct
certain evils, and will no doubt have
very salutary effect when it's provis-
ions become understood
The law strikes blow at the whole
sale naturalization of foreigners just
preceding general eelction. Under
its provisions, no man can receive a
certificate of citizenship within thirty
days of an election. This abuse has
been very prevalent, especially in the
larger cities where large numbers of
aliens have been rushed into court to
secure naturalization papers on the
eve of an election in order that they
might be able to VOTE.
To become a citizen a foreigner
must be able to read and write the
English language and have some
knowledge of the constitution. This
is one of the essential features of the
new law. 1t will thus be incumbent
upon the immigrant to study the Ian
guage and become familiar with
American institutions or otherwise he
can never hope to become citizen.
Other provisions of the statute are
that the applicant must deposit with
the county clerk a sum large enough
to pay the fees of his two witnesses
at such time as he appears. The court
must designate certain times at each
term of court to pass upon the appllca'
tons for citizenship. If an applicant
does not appear within seven years
after making application he can never
become citizen. Information con
corning each person naturalized must
be sent by the clerk of the court tc
the bureau of naturalization Of the
United States government. Herein is
one of the distinctive features of the
law, as it virtually makes the clerk an
officer of the fedora government.
The law does not apply to parties
who took out their first papers under
the old law.

THE new SHARON FAIR.
Great Crowds See Some Splendid
Attractions.

The New Sharon district fair was
closed Friday evening after the most
successful meeting in the history OF
the organization. The crowds and the
attractions we're all record breakers
and the people iocked to the fair
from all parts of the county. 1t has
been estimated that fully 1000 admis
sions from Oskaloosa alone were re.
corded on the four days of the meet.
ing.
The paid attendance Thursday was
in excess Of 5000 and more than 5000
people were on the grounds during the
day. This breaks all former records
of the attendance. This was followed
on Friday, the last day, by crowd
that rivaled that of the "big Thurs
day" and numbered almost 5000 paid
admissions.
Something was going on all of the
time. A heat of the race was no
sooner finished than something else
was on the track, wild west race,
chariot race, or something else of the
kind.
Don Mcclure, the expert auto driv-
er Of Oskaloosa, was entered in car
race, but the test was not possible
on account of the breaking of his op-
ponent's car. Mr.. Mcclure gave an
exhibition of his driving ability on
the track, however, and sent his car
at speed about the track that was
remarkable. The rate at which he
moved the car was not only astonish-
ing but the crowd held its breath in
fear that the daring chauffeur would
be dashed to pieces. The gentleman
was roundly cheered by the thousands
of spectators.
The results of Thursdays races
were as follows:
In the 2:16 pace, $500 purse, Tom.
my P. took first, Frank A. second,
and High Card third.
In the 2:40 trot, $3.50 purse, Dewey
took first, and Garnet P. second.
In the running race, SIS purse,
Fawn E. took first.
The base ball game between Oska-
loosa and Marshalltown was a big at
traction and paying one for Fridays

Cross the Burning Sands to the
Shriners Haven.

The Shrine meeting held in this city
Thursday, Sept. 20, by the Davenport
representatives of the Kaaba Temple
was not as large as some others have
been, but in point Of thorough enter
tainment and pleasure it stands fore
most in the line Of similar events.
F. d. Boyer, who is one of the most
ardent Shriners in the state of Iowa,
and who has been repeatedly honorea
by the organization, was the promoter
Of the class that participated in the
miseries and, the festivities of last
evening. Fifteen candidates, answered
his summons to prepare themselves
for the ordeal and bowed in due ODE
dience to his dictations, making a
class that will go down in the history
Of the Shrine as a record breaker.
The ceremonies and work were
commenced at the Masonic opera
house about seven o'clock. The If
teen candidates made the class the
right size and it was worked in a way
that left no room for complaint. Con-
gratulations were extended on all
sides over the excellence of the work
performed, and the manner in which
all arrangements were carried out.
The work had been completed by
eleven o'clock and the Shriners with
their newly made mobiles all repaired
to the Hotel Downing where BAN
quet BETTING the occasion had been
spread by Landlord Hen. The menu
while not elaborate, was a pleasant
surprise to the guests seated around
the board. 1t was prepared under the
personal direction of Mine Host Hen
and he seemed to have tried himself
in making the banquet in keeping
with the other happy events of the
day. The gentleman has never offer
ed a better menu at a similar occa-
sion.
Mr.. Boyer in making his arrange
ments for the meeting of the Shrine,
was ably assisted by number Of
lieutenants who acted as his aides in
caring for the details of the day. To
Mr.. James A. Dewitt was delegated
the after dinner program, and the
general excellence of the same attest
ed the carefulness of the gentleman's
work.
Tn following program of toasts
completed the pleasures of Shriners'
day:
L. R. Rosebrook was appointed the
POSTMASTER of the occasion. Speeches
were given by F. L. Bills, of Daven-
port, W. R. Lacey and James Dewitt,
of this city, ]. L. Wilson of Ottumwa,
N. P Harrington and others. Several
Of the new members responded to
speeches of their experiences during
the ceremony.
The Davenport delegation was high.
ly pleased with the work and the en-
tertainment of the local lodge. They
departed this morning to Ineir homes
in Davenport over the Rock Island.
