BETTER coMMERcIALIsM.
Proper Legislation for Protecting the
People and Home Merchants.

The people, the consuming public,
are becoming tired of authorizations in
food products and Misrepresentation
of values in all kinds of goods, and
this feeling of dissatisfaction has
reached our national lawmakers,
through their constituents, and has
resulted in the agitation of a new
and far reaching kind Of federal legis-
lation, protecting the honest Ameri-
can manufacturer, the honest dealer
and the victimized consumer.
The national pure food law, which
passed at this session of congress, is,
perhaps, of first Importance, as adul'
terations and low values in food pro
ducts will work i'll against the health
as well as the pocketbook of the public.
Next to this, and even Of higher finan-
cial importance, is the misrepresenta-
ton fin goods made from the precious
metals.
For years John C. Dueber, presi-
dent of the Dueber-Hampden Watch
company of Canton, Ohio, has been

THE MAKING OF ACITY.
Various improvements in Progress
in All Directions.

John d. Mickey, one of Oskaloosa's
popular contracting builders, has COM
menced the construction of a hand
some two-story dwelling house on his
lots on North D street, near F avenue.
1t will be a modern house in every par
ticular, heat light and plumbing all
of the best, and most substantial. 1t
will have a basement under all, eight
rooms with hallway and closets and
large garrett. 1t will make a hand
some improvement for North D street.
The cost will be between three and
four thousand dollars.
Mr.. Mickey is just completing the
Chas McCulloch houses on South ID
street, south Of the Rock Island
tracks. The finishers are now at
work. The cottages are rather small,
but are well made and will be desir-
able tenant properties.
The improvements to the Marion
Cruzen property at the corner OF d
street and B avenue are about COM
pleted. A couple of new rooms lave
been added on the west, together with
a bath room and other improvements.
The exterior is ornamented by a neat
porch. With the house improved and
re-painted, old residents of the ward
will scarcely be able to recognize the
locality. The improvements will cost
in the neighborhood of fifteen hundred
dollars.

once a year the people ge. up rabbit
drive and go out in the night by the

the country for ten miles or so, and at
