COAL ROADS.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 20.-The in.
terstate commerce commission has
about perfected its plans for the in
vestigatione, under the Tillman-Gilles'
pie resolution, of the coal carrying
roads in the west. Shortly after
September l it will undertake the
task of finding out what has been go.
ing on in the ohio-West Virginia
field. Hearings will be conducted in

and perhaps in all these places. Al.
ter concluding the work in the Ohio
West Virginia region, the commission
will look into conditions in Illinois,
Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming and other
western states.
The investigations in the west will
be similar to those that have been
concluded in the Pennsylvania field.
For number of weeks special agents
of the commission have been quietly
at work in the western coal regions
and have acquired large amount of
information as to general conditions.
With this information at hand, the
commission will be able to call on wit.

AN EARLY FALL.
Wiseaeres Predict That Cold Weather
Is Not Far Off.

An early fall is said by the wise
weather watchers to be foretold by
many natural signs. The unusual
maturing of all crops. For instance,
the corn is weeks in advance Of its
season and is developing very rapidly.
All late crops are forward. Foliage
is taking on the growth Of early fall.
Golden rod is weeks in advance OF
its season. Another sign that issaid
to forebode early fall is the return
OF many migratory birds that gener-
ally do not reappear in this locality
from their northern flights until late
in September. Robins and bluebirds
have commenced their social prelim-
inaries preparatory. to focking for
the flight to the soutnlandsw9 Still
another sign: MusMats are building
their winter houses uncommonly early
in the season, indicating the approach
OF winter. sg4

IOWA CROP BULLETIN
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AS NOTED BY THE
WEATHER BUREAU.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 21.-The past
week was characterized by extremely
high temperatures by day and warm
nights, and the oppressive conditions
were intensified by high percentage
Of humidity. The rainfall was unus-
ually variable in amount, resulting
from local showers. The largest
amount reported was 1855 inches at
Des Moines, most of which fell on the
morning of the 18th. On the evening
of the 18th a heavy downpour was re-
ported at DEBORAH, causing damaging
floods. Generally, the rainfall was
light, though in the larger part Of the
state the moisture in the soil is sufi-
cient for the present needs of grow
ing crops. For the corn crop it was
the most favorable week of the sea-
son, and that great staple has made
satisfactory progress toward maturity.
For the state at large the crop is as
well advanced as usual at the close OF
THE second decade in August. The
stand is above the average, and the
stalks are heavily cared. Reports in
dicate that in early planted fields the
ears are passing beyond the roasting
ear stage. Good progress has been
made in stacking and threshing oats
and wheat from the shock. Fall plow-
ing is in progress. Early apples are
being harvested, and the yield is
above the product of recent years.
The minor crops are doing well.

THE new DEPARTMENT
Prof. Jenkins Getting Ready to In
troduce Manual Training.

Roy H.Jenkins, elected by the board
Of education Of Oskaloosa to have SUI
pervision of the industrial and man.
ual training departments of the OsEa-
loosa schools, has arrived in the city
and is busy at the high school build
ing organizing his work and getting
the apparatus and equipment installed
and ready for the opening Of the
schools.
Benches are being put up and the
tools and working equipment that has
been selected by superintendent Else
and Mr.. Jenkins are being placed in
order and ready for the beginning OF
actual work.
Mr.. jenkins takes much interest in
his work. In an interview he said
concerning the new department whic.
will be tried in the Oskaloosa schools
this fall for the first time in the his.
tory of the district:
In the strenuous American life OF
today there has come a demand for a
more practical side to our school ed.
ucation. We want, says the busy
world, that which will train not only
the aesthetic side of our lives, but al.
SO the useful. We want men and
boys who can do things, who know
how to use their .nanos and minds, as
well as to quote Shakespeare or rat
tie off pages of Latin and Greek. Thus
Manual Training is an outgrowth o.
a long felt want. 1t is new, and In its
infancy yet, but out of it we hope to
see many things develop that will be
of great advantage in the educational
world.
"The manual work that is being
started in our city schools is following
out, in modest way, the general move
ment that is going on over our coun'
try. We intend to have bench and
lathe work in the high school; sloyo
whiting work for the boys, sewing
for the girls of the seventh and eighth
and perhaps sixth grades of the ward
schools; while cardboard work for the
fourth and fifth grades.
Everything being new, our pro-
gress will be slow at first, yet by the
end of the year we feel that we shall
have some definite results to show Tol
our labors. All are welcome to come
and visit our shop and see US. We
wish all the friendly interest and sup
port of our townspeople in this oul
new undertaking"

Children and Fools Shouldn't,
Play With Edged Tools.
YOU RISK BLINDNESS

When YOU have a brigh. hgnt
thrown in your eyes by inexperi-
enced fakes and grafters as a pre-
tense to 1T eyes with glasses.
s1yes are in serious danger
when you allow anything like
that except at the hands Of regu-
lar and competent physicians.
Prof. Wayne Arnold uses no such
methods of quackery and hum
bug. Besides, they are useless.
These fakes might just az well
look at your corns or toe-nails
for all they know. 1t is simply
rot and humbug, to impress the
patient. Prof. Mayne Arnold
uses no such mummery in fitting
glasses. His methods are scien:
tifc, rational and successful. AS
regards the danger to eyes from
dark room examinations in the
hands Of ignorant pretenders,
Prof. Arnold will gladly show
books from the most eminent au-
thorities Of the world on the eye.
Take warning; be wise. Sight is
priceless. Money cannot buy it.
Once lost, it may never be re-
stored.

Pete GiIIlspie and Matte Bartley's
Latest Escapade.

Pete Gillispie was before Justice
Prichett this morning on the charge
of assault and battery upon Matte
BARLEY. He was sentenced to ten
days in jail.
The fight occurred near Templeton's
grocery Saturday evening about half
past ten O'Clock. The lady's eyes
were BACKED in the melee.
The striking thing about this case
is that this woman and Gillispie were

from her husband and went with this
Gillispie. She was found one day
