MEETING AT TIOCA PENN CHAPEL REVIVAL
Republican Speakers Greeted BY
Enthusiastic Crowd.

In spite of weather conditions and
other embarra ;sments and adverse
circumstances generally, the republi-
can rally at the town of lioga in the
southeast part of the county proved
one of the most gratifying successes
OF the county canvass. The candidates
were pleased and the people of the
neighborhoOd were elated. In the first
place the interest taken in the meet
ing has stirred the community. Added
TO this the community has been food
ed with missta .ements and misrep-
reservations concerning republican
Candidates that the people are anxious
to hear the other side" 1t was
little wonder that a large meeting
resulted. The church where the meet
ing was held was completely filled
with an audience that gave attention
to every word of the speakers. No
where since the local canvass has
been in progress has a better spirit
been manifest or a better general
| feeling been shown. The candidates
are more than gratiied at the results
Of he meeting.
o. c. G. Phillips and A. J. Wal
smith were the speakers of the even
ing. Both speakers are men of con-
siderable oratorical ability and the
way they warmed up to the occasion
was enough to start the blood in a
heart OF stone. Both made good talks
along national and state lines. The
candidates were introduced and told
of things the people desired to hear
concerning county affairs. II was a
rousing meeting and will be talked
of in that neighborhood in way that
will bring results.
The trip to and from Tioga was a
hard one. The crowd started from
this city early and they returned early
this morning Bad roads and other
Inconvenience were encountered,
but the character of the meeting and
tn results obtained were well worth
the special effort put forth to make
| the affair success.

INCREASED CAPACITY
An Additional Heater Installed at
Power House.

To increase the capacity of their
city heating plant to meet the de
mands of the additional patronage
this season, the Oskaloosa Traction Il
Light Co. are Installing a new mani
mouth water heater at their plant in
the power house building. At the be-
ginning of the season a new heater
was installed of the same size as the
other five which were used last sea
son. 1t was thought that these six
heaters, all exactly alike, would be
sufficient, but SO many more patrons
are being served with city heat this
season it was deemed necessary tC
make another addition to the equip
ment of the plant. SO this new heat
er has been purchased and is now
being installed. 1t is, in appearance
| a large upright steer cylinder several
| feet in diameter and perhaps twelve
feet high Within this outer casing
| il arranged thousands of small brass
tubes running parallel vertically from
| one end of the heater TO the other
These brass tubes are connected
with the hot water system and as the
| water is pumped through them it Is
heated by the steam which is admitted
into the outer cylinder, passing be
tween and around the many brass
tubes. The heater weighs about foul
tons and has a capacity equal to three
of the old heaters or equal to half the
capacity of the entire plant at present
The exhaust steam from the power
house engines is now being used tc
furnish heat for the hot water system
| but when colder weather comes live
steam will used.
