BANFF HARD COAL.

Banff hard coal, a car of which has
just been received by J. P. Duthie, is
the only hard coal mined in Canada,
and is a superior coal for domestic and
steam purposes. 1t is specially recon-
mended for self feeders and hot blast
stoves. An analysis shows that the
coal has fixed carbon content of 80. 20
per cent. while it is but nine per cent
ash. II emits no sparks and is smoke
less When fired properly it gives off
a greater. more even and sustained
heat than any other coal, hence is the
most economical to use. To burn hard
coal II Is necessary there should be a
good draft and that the fire be kept
free from ashes, so that the draft can
60 through the fire. The fire should
not be stirred from the top, but the
ashes shaken out from underneath.
The coal should be put on little at
a time and as the coal is slow to ig-
mite. start the fire some time before
Il is needed.

Chicago, June 23.--With labor diff

that the predominant spirit of the
trade is pessimistic in its anticipa.

ing for continued unsteadiness in
prices, detrimental alike to the best
interests of both wholesaler and re.
taller. Those who hold to this view
fear all sorts of things in the way OF
overproduction with the evils which
accompany it, and expect sudden fiuc-
tuations of prices, great enough to
make it at all times uncertain whether
a given transaction will bring profit
or loss, but with net results on the
losing side.
While it is true that there is still
some margin in favor of prices this
week as compared with those of a
year ago, it is necessary, for a just
comparison, to take into account the
further fact that under the scale of
wages prevailing under the agreement
recently entered into at Springfield
the cost of production in Illinois has
been increased by from five and one
faif to seven per cent over the cost
under the scale of IS94-1S95.

Des Moines came to Oskaloosa this

young ladies. The mutual Telephone
exchange of that city was in urgent
need of a couple OF e11cient and ex-

the general excellence of the operat'

secured permission of General Man
ager w. D. Dunsmore to visit the ex'
change room of the Oskaloosa com
pany. Later Miss Mary Curran, who
has been with the Home company
during a term of service or more than
four years, and Miss Mary Melvin,
Who is almost as old in the employ OF
the office, received orrers from the
Des Moines company. The young la
dies have accepted the positions, Sc
curing a handsome increase in salary,
and the advantages offered in larg'

what crippled by the departure of the
girls but the service will be complete

ALMOST SEVEN THOUSAND.
Only a Little Over 5000 Lacking
Now in Hospital Fund.

About 5000 in subscriptions have

to $500. One of the largest individ.
ual subscriptions was $50 from the
Oskaloosa Traction & Light Co. 1t
will be remembered that this company
had previously made good donation,
in turning over the receipts of the
first days street car business to the
hospital. AS the mercury stands now
it is only about $4,000 from blood heat,
and it is believed our people will not
allow the fires to go out now. If all
who have taken notes and promised
to fill them out would do so at once,
it is believed that nearly the entire
sum would be raised. Will friends OF

CATFISH IN SAW LOGS.
Many Being Caught at the Burlington
Mill.

Burlington HawkeSe! 1t is not an
uncommon thing to get raccoons, o.
possums and even small bears in hol-
low logs. But Burlington discounts ey-
erything in that line. Here the hol-
low logs are explored for cat fish at
this time of the year, and with very
satisfactory results for the fishermen.
The sport began more than week
ago, and large number or f1sh weigh
ing from three to ten pounds were
taken, as the logs were pulled out OF
the river and onto the carriage upon
which they are fed to the saws. On
Thursday a black catfish weighing 80
pounds was taken. And yesterday
brought the biggest catch of the sea-
son in the shape Of large blue cat
fish weighing IS pounds. The big
fellow was more than had been bar
gained for and he jumped clear
through the net with which he was
held. A handy man with a pike pole
was near, however, ana he succeeded
in spearing Mr.. Fish before he could
get back into his native element. He

HENRY EVELAND DEAD
Founder of Once Well Known Ferry
Passes Away.

EVELAND.-Died, at his home IN
Jefferson township, of stomach and
bowel trouble of three and one-half
days duration, at 11:10 p. m, June %,
1906, Henry Eveland, aged n years.
Funeral services Sunday at 10 a. M,
at Coal Greek church, and interment
in Coal Creek cemetery.
The services were in charge of
Bellefountaine Lodge of Masons from
Tracy, assisted by members from the
Bussey Lodge and a large delegation
from Oskaloosa, about one hundred
members of the fraternity in all be-
ing present. Elder J.. D. Guthrie OF
Oskaloosa delivered the sermon, and
tn Union choir of the church furnished
the music. About six hundred people
were present, and the cortege from his
late home to the church was nearly
mile long. 1t was one of the largest
funerals ever seen in the county, show.
ing the high esteem in which this no
BILE pioneer was held by all who knew
him. A fitting and beautiful tribute
was paid to the deceased at the grave,
where his old time neighbor and
friend, the venerable Robert Wharton,
acted as master of the Iodge, and re-
peated in an inspiring and touching
manner the beautiful and impressive
Masonic service. The death of Mr..
Eveland leaves Mr.. Wharton the only
man in Jefferson township living on
land that was originally entered, and
the Oldest resident in the township
with the single exception of Mrs.
Flanders. Another incident developed
at the funeral was that Mr.. Eveland
and Captain Evans were the first two
subscribers to- the Coal Creek church
and they worked hard to secure it.
Mr., Evans was present at the burial OF
his friend. The pail bearers were
members of the Masonic lodge, OF
which Mr.. Eveland was for years a
staunch supporter and honored mem
Der. They comprised Sumner Hays,
F. w. Glaze, James Hayes, John M
Price, Grin Gay and M. D. Gilchrist.
Deceased was born in Morgan coun-
ty, Ohio, Nov. 8, 1928, and had lived
in Iowa for fifty-three years. He
leaves two daughters, Mrs. Ed Evans
and Mrs. Nellie McGay, and one son,
Dick Eveland. Mr.. Eveland was born
on a farm and in his youth assisted
his father in farm WORK and helped
run the mill. At the age of rs years
he left Illinois ana came to Iowa and
located on section one in JEFFERSON
township, where he resided until his
death. In the spring Of 1865 he mar
ried Haddasah Campbell, and to this
union were born six children, three Of
whom survive the father. Mr.. Eve
Hand was an honored member Of the
Masonic fraternity. Soon after locat
| ing in Mahaska county he began oper
ating ferry across the Des Moines
river near where the bridge, now
known as Cleveland Bridge" is locat
ed. In the active years of his life he
was the owner of 573 acres of fine
land. In early days he made spe
cialty of breeding fine draft horses
He was a we'll known and highly re
spected citizen of Mahaska county.
