Atmospheric Poisoning.

From the Pltts,urg Dis patch.
The protests against the automobile omnl-
buses of London have received a powerful
reinforcement by a declaration CT Sir
James Dewar on the chemical basis. He
is undoubtedly among the high chemical
authorities OF the world. and his condemna-
ton of the motor buses and freight vans
seems conclusive unless invention provide.
innOcuous motive power
Sir James Dewar states that the conlbus-
ton of petrol or gasoline in these motors
throws off vast quantities of noxieas gases.
Some Of these are absolutely poisonous
and all injurions. He holds thar the air
of London Is bad enough already without
the addition OF carbonic acid gas, the sui
phurous gases. and worst Of all, the as
phyxiafing carbonic oxide. Moreover,
while he admits that science can improve
motors, he declares that 1t is impossible
for 1t to burn petrol and render the re-
suItfng gases innocuous

A Word About Pipe Organs.

The Kimball Pipe Organ,
which has been brought to Cor
Wallis by Prof. Taillandier for ar
Organ Concert to be given or
May 2sth, is novelty in more
than one way. The action o.
mechanism, employed in the
Kimball Organs is a revolution
in organ building. It is
Duplex Tubular Pneumatic
throughout, including key action
(both manual and pedaD, stop
action and couplers.
One of the practical advantages
is the compactness. BY doing
away with the old style action
with trackers, stickers, levers,
squares and all the other acces-
sories necessary in the old track
er action much room is gained.
The organ, now in the College
Chapel, with its hundreds oi
of pipes would occupy double the
space were it not sor the tubular
pneumatic action employed solely
in the Kimbail Pipe Organs.

WILLARD COMPANY STRONG.
Engagement Commenced Last
Night in the Opera House.

IA Western Gentleman" at
the opera house last. night was a
decided success. It is sometimes
hard to write up the details of a
play, just as it is for a cartoonist
to portray an individual who has
no distinguishing features, and
this is one of those cases. The
company is SO well balanced that
it is difficult to say anything
about them without saying a
great deal. Mr.. Willard is a
talented actor, and the company
is of the very best material, all
ex .ellent actors and actresses.
Tonight they are to play "The
Bells" one of Sir Henry Irving's
great plays. The indications
are that the house will be crowd
ed, so you had better secure seats
early.

Making Friends.

Fred G. Peil is. making friends
everywhere in his canvass Tor the
Office of sheriff of Benton. This
is not strange for Mr.. Peil's man
ner is such as WINS your conf
deuce at ouce. He is a man you
inst1nctively trust.
When it comes to clerical
ability he has no superior in the
county and if elected all county
business coming to him will be
attended promptly and satisfac-
torily to all. Is there any good
reason why he should not be
enthusiastically voted to the Of
fee by the republicans of Benton?
He is as deserving as any man
and republicans should take a
pride in giving a worthy young
man start in life.

Important Agreements.
Some of the most important mat
tiers adopted are:
a. Resolutions were adopted IA
voring amendments to legislative acts
for the total prohibition of the en-
ployment Of women in the mines OF
Germany.
"2. The legal prohibition of the
employment of children under IA
years of age around the mines, and
16 years inside of or under ground.
"3. Favoring an eight hour law
from bank to bank for all mining en-
ployees.
"A. Favoring establishing a mini
mum rate of wages.
"5. Also favoring the adoption OF
! uniform system of transfer cards
! between all countries. This was in.
troduced by the American delegates
and adopted. Our reasons for favor
| ing such an intercourse and exchange
in cards was to obviate the unwar-
ranted expense Of compelling an indi-
vidual to pay an Initiation fee more
than once, and desire to further
and strengthen our reciprocal rela-
lions, as members of one trade and

DR.. Brockman of Ottumwa is one of
the latest boosters of the OskaIoosa
hospital. While on visit in town
this week he promised $25 to the
building fund.
Il know how hard it is to get hos
pital started" said DR.. Brockman.
1--WE have been through that ordeal at
Ottumwa. That is the reason want
to help you. But let me tell you. AS
soon as Oskaloosa gets the hospital
built and in running order your peo-
pie will be prouder of that institution
than of any other one thing in the
city. 1t is remarkable how people
learn to love a hospital when they
realize what splendid thing it is,
and all the hard work comes in get
ting it started. After that there is no
trouble in keeping it going. We have
room for fifty patients in our new
building and the beds are filled prac,
tically all the time"
In addition to this generous sub
scription from stranger, our home
people, have also been loyal during the
week. A little over $500 have been
subscribed since the last report, which
brings the building fund to date up to
$500, or only $1,000 below the covet.
