FIRE AT EVANS.
Garfield Supply company's Barn Was
Burned This Morning.

Fire at Evans this morning about
1890 o'clock destroyed the Garfield
Supply Company's barn, situated
across the road from the company's
store, and it was thought for time
that other property in the vicinity
would be involved. The loss of the
building and contents will be about
five to eight hundred dollars. The
fire made great blaze that was seen
at long distance. The origin of the

INTERURBAN BENEFITS
0skaloosa Man Makes Some Obser.
vations in Clinton.

Clinton, Iowa, July 27-I am Ger.
tainly pleased to see that the oska.
loosa & Buxton interurban is a go.
There is no doubt but that the road
will be good thing and Of more i'm
portance to the town than anything
there. Clinton is the headquarters
for the Clinton Davenport interurban.
| have taken pains to inquire about
the business of the road at headquar-
ters, and the volume of business done
Is astounding. On the Fourth they
handled 5000 passengers between this
city and Davenport and the daily bust
ness is simply immense. Now we
have three railroads connecting the
two cities, fare by the steam roads
$1,20, by the interurban 70 cents. In
addition to these there is daily
packet which carries passengers to
Davenport for so cents. Two-thirds
of the passenger business between
the two cities is done over the inter
urban.
At South Clinton is the power
house, an immense building equipped
with mammoth dynamos, boilers and
engines. From this central or "fa-
ther' plant is transmitted the power
At Princeton and Comache are boost.
ers"-helpers-which are auxiliary
plants. The machinery in these
plants-the dynamos-are run by
power from the Clinton plant. These
boosters" as l understand them are
auxiliary power plants that furnish
a per cent of the power needed to OPP
crate the road. In other words, they
are supplied with power from the
main plant the same as motors in
towns and they give the cars a
''boost" or push. At Clinton the road
uses Sixth avenue and loops up Fifth
avenue, where the depot and main
business offices are located.
On special occasions they carry two
handsome cars-one a trailer. Each
car is as large as good big passen-
ger coach. 1t has small baggage
apartment, smoking room and coach.
A trip on the lnterurban is an outing
that is comfortable, pleasing and ex-
,hilarating, one that every inhabitant
wants to take as often as his pocket
book will permit. Every Sunday the
interuban makes rate from Clinton
to Davenport of dollar for the round
trip, and the business is simply great.
They run car every hour and a
half, and it takes an hour and thirty
minutes to make the trip. The road
is solid and laid with heavy steel.
Freight cars are hauled over the road
and an express train is run twice a
day.
Say, this town of Clinton is a fine
one. | have been around in Iowa a
good deal; but this is the ...... city
was ever in in the state. Big enter
prises, mills, sash, chair and furnl.
ture factories, mills, bridge works,
fine streets, good street railways, fine
parks, elegant residences and gen.
erous people are some of the charac-
teristics of the town. / am glad that
Clinton is in the state league ball
team. 1t will bring the towns little
closer together and perhaps you will
get over here some time.
One thing forgot to mention in
connection with the interurban, and
that is the parks maintained by it.
They have several parks on their line
where concerts and vaudeville shows
are given, and they are great. Fine
places for a picnic. Lest tire you
will quit.
Yours,
H. C. Cook.

THE TARIFF WILL STAND.

At the conference of republican lead
ers at Oyster Bay it was determined
that the party, in the congressional
campaign, shall oppose all tinkering
with the tariff at this time. President
Roosevelt, Speaker Cannon, Chairman
Sherman of the congressional cam
paign committee and the rest Of the
republican chieftains who were at the
meeting took this position. 1t will be
proclaimed in the republican textbook
for 1906, which will be issued in two
or three weeks.
Republican stump speakers and
newspapers will, in 1906, have an easy
and pleasant task in setting forth the
benefits which the tariff has conferred
upon the country. They can point to
more prosperity at home than has ever
been seen in the past, and can show
the largest foreign trade which has
ever been rolled up. In the aggregate
exports and imports of merchandise
the $3,000,000,000 mark has been al
most reached. In the fiscal year 1906
the exports aggregated $1,744,000, 900
and the imports S1,226, 100000. In
each item the highest figures of the
past were left far behind. We sold to
the outside world double as much mer-
chandise in the Roosevelt year just
ended as we did in Cleveland's year
just ten years earlier. The balance OF
trade in our favor, which was s104,.
100000 in 1896, was quihtupled in
1906, when it reached s51S.000.OO0. II
we count silver as merchandise, as we
ought to do, although the governments
bookkeepers persist in putting it in a
class by itself, the $4,000, 100000 mark
in the aggregate merchandise exports
and imports would be left far behind,
and the balance in our favor on the
trade account with the outside world
would be s557,0O0,000.
The tariff can claim a large share OF
the credit for these conquests at home
and abroad. Manifestly, system

HAVE BOUGHT
AN IRON MINE

The American Smelling & Refining
Company of Salt Lake has bought the
iron mine at Gerald on the Southern
Pacific, six miles west of Palisade, in
Eureka county, says the Sentinel, and
the property was turned over to the new
management on January 9th.
This mine consists of mountain of
iron and. was owned until few years
ago by J. A. Ferraro, former railaoaad
agent at Palisade, who disposed of it to
West, Watson and associates. The latter
organized the West Mining Company
and began operations. A spur track
was at once put in, connecting the mine
with the main line of the Southean
Pacific, and ore shipments have since
been going out to the American Com
panys smelters for hux at the rate OF
from 200 to 800 tons day.
The ore has evidently stood the test
of its value for fuxing Purposes, and
the immense quantity so easily avail
able made the mine a desirable property
for the American Company, and its
purchase was successfully negotiated.

Peaches are tonic an aperient, a
food and drink combined, or, to put
1t briefly they are meat and medicine.
A good meal may be made on cut
peaches with cream and sugar, bread
and butter. After a meal Of this va
riety a person will feel more like at
tending to the duties of the afternoon
than IL he or she INDUCED in heavy
foods. Peaches are good before break
fast and afsss dinner They are good
for the digestion. good for the blood
and good for the complexion. Some
people eat them without cream or
sugar and with good results. The
fruit is so rich in sugar and acid that
it preserves its flavor long while. but
to get the full benefit it should be
eaten as soon as it is cut. Redness OF
the nose due to congestion inflamed
complexions. scrofulous and bilious
tendencies are said to be materially in
nuenced by liberal consumption of
this luscious fruit.
