loosa Richer Than Last Year.

An increase of $1O0,O0O.U0 in the
value of Oskaloosa's personal proper

Perry, who declared this morning that
the towns wealth. had gained that
much during the past year. Mr.. Per-

finished their work. and only lew
business houses remaining as yet I'M
assessed. The work has not of cours.
been totaled up.
Il can not pretend to give the exact
figures" said Mr.. Perry, "but l be
lieve that Oskaloosa will have at least
100000 more personal property as
shown by the assessors books this
year than last. am sure that there
has been good increase all along
the personal property values. We
will not be able to tell positively, OF
course, until the work is completes
and the assessment totaled up, about
the first of April. l don't think the
gain will miss that sum much. There

ues are to obtain according 10 me
law"
Mr. Perry has left what is just
about one days work in assessment,

TAKEN TO ASYLUM.
Much Married McNeW Committed to
Insane Hospital BY Commission.

Following an examination as to his
sanity, the commissioners of insanity
ordered the commitment Of Dave Nc
New, the self-confessed bigamist, who
became insane while in Jail awaiting
his sentence, to the Mt. Pleasant state
hospital. McNew was taken to that
institution his morning in charge OF
Depuy Sheriff Moore
If Dave McNew is shamming, the
officials will find it out. If not, the
jail is no place for him. The commit.
ment of the man is great relief to
Turnkey Perry Black, who had to care
for him almost as for a baby. Nc
New seemed determined to starve
himself, and the turnkey and TRUSTEES
had to feed him with a spoon, one
holding up the mans head while the
other put the food in his mouth. AT
times it was necessary to open NC.
News mouth for MIN.
The man became helpless. He
would not or could not walk this morn,
ing and was half dragged into the
train. He offered the officers no re.
sistance, and he had nothing to say
to them. His actions were as much
those of man weak from starvation
as of maniac. McNew seems TO be
both. The man will be treated at Mt
Pleasant, and if his recovery is sus
piciously quick, he viii be brought
back for sentence for his crime.

Normal Institute in March instead OF
the lazy days of summer, thirty pretty
pedagogues from Pella invaded Oska-

Paris Cultures.

II can't be truthfuiiy said that hats
are improving any in grace, and 1t
must be confessed that large num-
Der are decidedly outre and even I'M
couth-well calculated to make
woman look her worst instead OF her
best. as a truly good hat should, says
a writer in the New York Herald. AS
a rule, American women are too care
less in the coiffing of their hair to
look well under most of the Partisan
CONNECTIONS. Tag ends and rufiied
locks do not go well with the tilted
hat that rises with appalling abrupt
ness from the couture TO tower Tar
above 1t, leaving the base exposed
in the most uncompromising fashion,
this base comprising almost the entire
head of the hapless wearer. The
habit of marcel waving the hair Is not
only bad for the hair itself as to
growth and strength, but 1t inevitably
breaks off the hair, causing more and
more tag ends In Paris they use
LIQUID preparations for keeping the
hair smooth, and also the large
meshed nets made of natural hair,
these so carefully arranged that they
confine all the stray ends and yet
themselves are not visible under cas-
ual inspection. without these ,ad-
juncts or net veil the lofty, tilted
hats should be wholly abjured, for
there is neither comfort nor style in
them unless properly worn and with
the proper accomplishments.

Silk and velvet coats are made in all
lengths from boleros to Louis models,
whose ample skirts reach almost to
the bottom of the dress skirt. Some
of the very latest models, however,
bowling to the empire fad, have short
fronts reaching only to the high en-
pire waist line. One model is given
this effect by band of the material
bengaline, holding in the fullness at
empire waist length. The long skirt
reaches almost to bottom of gown and
the only foreign trimming is large
