The Importance of Ventilation.

Inc I'M psEtstHce " StEtiiatsoh.
The science of architecture, if under
this head we include the principles of
building construction and the heating
and ventilation of buildings. has done
and is doing much of interest and i'm
portance to the student of public health
science. The air supply, especially for
the modern civilized and too often sed-
entary form of mankind. is in the long
run quite as important as the water
supply, the milk supply or any other
supply. Surely we cannot be too care
full of the purity of substance which
we take into our bodies oftcncr and in
larger volume than any other and
which has come, rightly, no doubt, and
as the result Of long and painful eX-
perience, to be known as the very
breath of life. Human beings may sur
vive and seemingly thrive even for
long periods on bad air, but for the
best work, the highest efficiency, the
greatest happiness and the largest life,
as well as for perfect health, the very
best atmosphere is none too good

the two letters were in the same hand

The Implication was that the relief

been by narrow circumstances.

day, President Charles A. Peabody
OF the Mutual Life Insurance COM

answered charges against his admin

dismissal of Col. Biscoe Hindman as

BALDAUF CORNER
BRINGS BIG PRICE
SOLD TO WILLIAMS BROTHERS
FOR $3a,5oooo.
ABOUT $500 PER FRONT FOOT
Building Purchased Solely As An In
Vestment and Is Indicative of
Faith in oskaIoosa's Great
Future.

Sam Baldauf has sold his two-story
brick building, corner Market street
and High avenue, the home of the Bal
dauf-Rosenblatt Company dry goods
business, to Williams Brothers of Bea
con for cash consideration of thirty.
eight thousand FIVE hundred dollars,
The final papers were passed and sig,
natures affixed Monday evening, fol.
lowing the negotiations that have beeu
in progress for some time.
The deal is one of the largest and
the price one of the best ever record
ed in Oskaloosa. 1t is equal to about
$500 per front foot. Williams Broth
ers, desiring permanent investment
ia the city, sought the purchase of the
property and the offers made were
considered by Mr.. Baldauf and the deal
was closed. The corner is one of the
best and most valuable in the city and
the transfer has excited considerable
comment.
The transfer was made with a con-
sideration that the Baldauf- -Rosenblatt
Company might retain long time
lease upon the corner and a twenty
years rental privilege was granted
that is, lease for term of ten years
with option of ten more was made.
The Baldauf people have no idea or
intention of going out of business in
the city, but will remain in possession
OF their store and their large business
interests in the city and the county
and the entire business will in the fu-
ture have the personal attention and
direction of Mr.. Sam Baldauf, as 1t
has in the past, The sale of the
property does not in any way indicate
that Mr.. Baldauf will leave Oskaloosa.
In fact, with the good things coming to
the city and the promise for develop
ment that is before us, Mr.. Baldaut
has more faith than ever in the city
and believes that we are just entering
upon season of unprecedented
growth and prosperity and he intends
to be on the ground floor to enjoy his
share of the good things.
While negotiating the deal, the Will
liams Brothers, though non-residents,
showed their faith and good will for
oskaloosa by subscribing 500 to the
hospital fund.

dividualism
This campaign involves much more
than the satisfaction of the desires or
ambitions of either Joseph w. Blythe
or Albert B. Cummins. Being carried
on in the name of Mr.. Perkins, it
means that so-called Blytheism will
not rule and that Cumminsism shall
not ruin the cause of republicanism
in the state of Iowa. The end desired
should and does interest statesmen,
business men, farmers and laborers
alike, not only in Iowa but also from
Maryland to California and from
Maine to Oklahoma"
In addition, the gentlemen from
Sioux City stated tuat they took no
part in the proposed protest against
the delegation from PoIk county, but
from their observations they were led
to believe that many republicans in
the county are deeply interested in
other candidates who were indorsed
by the Polk county primaries and feel
that in this regard Mr. Cummins
should not be left in absolute control.

DEs MONIES MOB SECURES ROPE
TO HANG TWO coLoRED
MEN ON STREET.

Des Moines, July ia mob of a
thousand angry citizens attempted to
lynch two negroes last night in the
downtown business district and only
because of the coolheadedness of the
police was the deed frustrated.
The negroes, later giving the names
of Bob Hyde and Charles Martin, had
grabbed Mrs. Harry Lynch near the
street car waiting room, Sixth and
Mulberry streets, and forcibly threw
her from the sidewalk in front of
them. Made frantic by the unpro-
yoked assault, the big crowd quickly
gathered and surrounded the assail-
ants. A rope was jerked from a
street car, telephone post was pick
ed out, sticks and stones were hurled.
The crowd was bloodthirsty and ready
to tear the negroes to pieces. Detec-
tives and police officers arrived on
the scene just in time to rescue the
negroes from the hands of the frantic
mob

of friends of Mr.. Perkins from Siou1
City, consisting of A. F. Call, D. c
Shull, T. F. Beyington, T. G. Hender
son and Representative Jepson, visit
ed Des Moines yesterday ana had an
interview with the managers of the
Perkins campaign here. The object
of the visit and conference which fol
lowed was to set at rest the stories
which have been so industriously cir.
culated by the Cummins organs to the
effect that there was a question about
the contest being fought to the end
by Mr.. Perkins and his friends. After
the conference the gentlemen return.
ed to Sioux City and today gave out
the following statement which ought
to at once settle all doubts and con-
vince every one that Mr.. Perkins has
no doubts of the fact that the real re-
publicans of the state are in favor of
his nomination and that he and his
friends do not intend to give up their
endeayors to present the truth of the
situation to the people of the state
and also to the republican state con-
vention when it meets on August l.
A joint statement of the conference
was given to lne puDnc as follows:
"That Mr.. Perkins is not responsible
for the threatened bolt by the Cum
minis supporters from the convention
and that he and his supporters have
no control over the plans of the oppo-
sition.
"That Mr. Perkins stands for a
square deal, because he is an honest,
broad-minded man.
That such square deal contem-
plates that the state central commit
tee and that the credentials committee
of the convention perform their duties
in the usual and ordinary way without
reference to the unjust and unreason-
able charges continuously appearing
in the opposition press. 1t contem-
plates that the members of these COM
mittees and the delegates rise above
passing Judgment upon the charges
and counter-charges until the testimo-
ny of the republicans of Iowa is pre-
sented to them. It contemplates an
earnest and an honest effort to arrive
at just conclusions and present them
in "a fair and open way. 1t means af'
firmative, not negative action. 1t
means an open-door convention and
an honorable nomination or defeat SO
far as Mr.. Perkins is concerned. 1t
recognizes the rights of all the other
candidates for all the offices involved
This plan az action was agreed up
on at'the conference and We not only
hope, hut believe thereby to secure
the nomination of our townsman and
neighbor, Mr.. Perkins. We thus ex
pect him to be selected as the stand
ard bearer to carry on the campaign
under the banner of progressive repub-
licanism as opposed to progressive In

LAW WISFAR-REACH|NG
ACT OF RECENT LEGIsLAtvnE
MAY EXCLUDE BOYS FROM
ALL COAL MINES.

Des Moines, July 16.-The new child
labor law, it has just Deen discovered,
has bearing on Iowa mines which
will call for the attention of the state
mine inspector and will probably re-
suit in the release of several hundred
boys in the state under the age of 16
years who are now working under
ground. 1t was not intended at the
time to exclude these boys from mines,
but through manipulation the result
was Unexpectedly attained. In the
original bill offered by the labor or
ganizations of the state it provided
children under 16 years of age should
not be engaged in stone quarries. On
the floor in the house Representative
Bealer of Linn county, who is en-,
gagged in stone quarry business, op-
posed the measure, but it passed.
Then there was a lively skirmish in
the senate where the committee re-
ported a substitute measure leaving
out stone quarries entirely. The ses-
sion was nearing an end. The labor
interests were instrumental in getting
a conference Of the senate and house
committees. Their subcommittee re-
ported bill which did not refer to
stone quarries, but prohibited the en-
ployment of children under 16 years
Of age in places where dangerous ex-
plosives are used This was designed
to effect the large quarries. Now it is
readily seen that this will cover mines
where the coal is blasted with dyna-
mite.

Suit For Big Damages.
Des Moines, July 16.--J. B. Gossage
of San Francisco, formerly chief dep
uty of the Brotherhood of American
Yeomen, has come to Iowa to insti-
tute a suit for $150,000 damages
against the Yeomen. He bases his
suit on the damages he says he has
sustained because of the cascelling
of ten years contract with that or
ganization after he had served under
the contract but two and half years.
