LIBRARY COMPLETED.


The finishing Of the second story OF
the Oskaloosa Public library has been
accomplished, with the exception or
the painting of the radiators and
other decorative work. The compile
tion of the second floor and the base
ment makes the library complete in
all details, and one of the handsom-
est and most convenient Of its size
to be found anywhere.
The second floor contains a hall
way from the stair landing and three
large rooms that can be separated
from each other by means of folding
doors, or that can be made into one
large room that would accommodate
several hundred people. The rooms
have been finished with natural oak,
hard maple tloors and tinted walls
and ceilings. The rooms are large,
light and with good height to the
ceiling and will answer well the pur-
poses to which they will be put.
The south room is intended for
museum and cases have been provid-
ed on the south wall for the relics or
early history of the county and city,
or for the curiosities or other collec-
lions that may from time to time be-
come the property of the library or OF
the societies which may use or have
access to the rooms.
Now that the rooms are compIeten
it is probable that the organization
of society to be known by some
such name as the Mahaska County
historical society will be perfected.
Here is perfect place for the meet
ings and the work Is in large and
unoccupied field.
Some needed work was done on the
basement of the building, cementing
and finishing part that had remain
ed incomplete, and giving needed
room for the accommodation for
part of the library work.
The improvement will cost, when
entirely completed, about two thous-
and dollars, which was furnished by
Mr.. Carnegie, for the finishing of the
building. The supervision Of the work
has been in the hands OF Mr.. John
A. Kalbach of the library board, who
has given the work his personal at
tention. He will make detailed re-
port of the work as soon as it is
fully completed.

HENDRIX. For though from out
our bourne of time and place,
The flood may bear me far,
l hope to see my Pilot face to face
When have crossed the bar"
Mrs. Alice Hen0ryx has crossed the
bar and met her Pilot face to face
A noble Christian woman, devoted
and loving mother, although quiet in
manner, she drew those about her to
purer and better life. In many
homes besides those of her children
will she be missed in the hour of
need Kindly and sympathetic, of a
loving and cheerful disposition, she
brought good cheer to all with whom
she associated. Reared in the coun,
try, but spending most of her married
life in the city, she dearly loved to
visit in the country during warm wea-
Their. Wandering in the woods, gath
ering flowers by the wayside, and en-.
joying the many beauties of nature,
was to her a pleasure and joy. Love,
ly carnations sent to her sick room by
friends were much appreciated ana
she often spoke of the givers. Five
sons, two daughters and ten grand
children are lett to mourn their irrep.
arabic loss. Especially will this be
true of the younger daughter, Mrs.
Hester Black of Delta. with whom
she had her home and where she died.
May the children not forget mothers
precept and example and may the
memory of her Christian life be a
magnet to draw them to that better
land where she rests from her labors.
For such as she,
There is no death! The stars go
down ...
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine foreyermore.

BIRTHS, MARRIAGES
And DRATHS.


C0LEMAN.--Again the death angel
has knocked at the door OIL our Post
room. calling for the first time one OF
our Past Post Commanders from the
scenes of earth to the higher and
broader field of duty in the life beyond.
In obedience to the promptings OF our
hearts as comrades, we would offer the
following expression on behalf Of Phil
Kearney Post No. 40, Department OF
Iowa, Grand Army of the Republic:
Comrade Albert d. Coleman was a
brave soldier and served his country
in its time of great need with all the
power of his young manhood, and with
patriots fidelity. At the close Of
the war; he turned to the arts OF
peace and performed his duty as a
noble, loyal American citizen.
Whereas, Our comrade, Albert ID.
Coleman, has departed tnis life, has
heard the last bugle call to duty here
below, and gone to join the innumer-
able throng of comrades on the otner
shore,
Be 1t Resolved, That we, the mem
bers of Phil Kearney Post No. 40, do
recognize in this action that we
have lost a worthy comrade; thar
while we deplore his death, we win
emulate his virtues, and ever hold in
fond remembrance his sterling Chris.
tan character, his strong friendship
and his answering patriotism.
Resolved, That in his death, the
community has lost a quiet, earnest
citizen, whose constant life work has
ever been to do that which seemed
best for all; and from the family circle
has gone out a life, whose marked
characteristics we're kindness, integ-
rity and unselfish affection.
Resolved, That the sincere sympa,
thy of the members OF this Post be
extended to the bereaved family, to
the fullest extent Of fraternity, char,
ity and loyalty, principles so fully ex.
emplified in our comrades life.
Resolved, That as a tribute to his
memory, that this memorial be enter.
ed upon the records of the Post, that

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The Iowa
Wool Growers association, in session
at Oskaloosa, declared in favor of a
domestic animal bill, which would de-
vote rs per cent o. the dog tax to the
payment for sheep that have been
killed by dogs. Strange that tuIs
matter could not be regulated in an
other way. why not offer reward
for the scalp of every sheep-killing
dog? The payment Cor sheep killed
might have tendency to aggravate
the tramp dog nuisance. The dog
that is kept at home will worry no
neighbor's sheep, and the dog that is
not kept at home, ought to be put out
of commission without any waste of
words or time.
