AN AID TO SLEEP
Use a Bag of Ice Water for Pillow on
 Hot Nights.

Some one has written the newspa pers suggesting using water bag filled or partially filled with cold wa ter as pillow on hot nights. Now this is excellent for those who can stand it. The writer fills a two-quart hot-wa ter bag more than half full of ice water and slips 1t between the base of the neck and the pillow on very hot nights. It serves to cool the whole body, and one sleeps blissfuly throughout the whole of sultry night.
 Because a strong, healthy person can bear ice water or cold water for some hours at the base of the brain it does not follow that very delicate or neuralgia person could. The writer despite excellent health, never having heard of it properly applied, tried it, at first with some slight misgvings, months ago with good results.
 Probably one who could not bear the ice water about the head could use It applied to some other part of the body, the ankles being a good place also, without any but good and com forting results.
 However, the article referred to mentioned the use of the water bag as a pillow and if one has thick halr it might not be more than comfortably cool. so used, but quicker results are obtained at the base of the head.

Woman Less Vain Than Man.

Personal admiration never turns a woman's head as 1t does a mans. She is not naturally vain like man, and compliments after a time become too much matter of course to dis turb her equanimity.
 If she is pretty she Is already aware of the fact, without being told it; if she Is not. she has sufficient imagina- tion to believe that she is.

LACEY IS CONFIDENT.
Says Allison Men VIII Control Ma

The Des Moines Register and Lead.
er today says: The Hon. John F.
Lacey of Oslxaloosa was in Des Moines
yesterday in response to an invitation
to deliver an address before a conven.
ton, and during the day visited with
prominent republicans and discussed
the political situation.
Major Lacey is confident that the
first republican state convention will
be in control OF the standpatters. He
said yesterday to prominent republic
cans that the Sixth congressional dis
trict would send only six progressive
delegates 10 the state convention. Mr..
Lacey is a candidate for district dele
gate in the Sixth and the six pro-
gressive delegates are said to be
those in Poweshiek county. He said
that the published statement that the
delegation from Monroe was divided
equally was untrue.
Politicians have been doing some
figuring as to the outcome of the Sc,
lection of district delegates, as re-

The standpatters claim that they

H.H. SHERIFF CHOSEN
Made Director In 0skaloosa Hospit-
al Association.

The annual meeting of the Oska-
loosa Hospital Association was held
in the Directors room of the Y. NJ.
C. A. building on Monday evening
and attended by twelve members OF
the association. The principal bust
ness to come before the meeting was
the election of three directors to serve
for three years, to take the places OF
Mesdames Khea Oppenheimer and +.
d. Reid and Mr.. Jno. o. Malcolm,
whose terms had expired. The cleo.
ton resulted in the selection of Mr..
H. H. Sheriff and the reelection OF
Mesdames Reid and Oppenheimer.
The reorganization of the board
and the election of a Superintendent
for the new hospital were deferred
and made special order of business
at meeting to be held next Monday
evening at the Oskaloosa National
Bank building. The board now has
about twenty applicants for the posi-
ton of Superintendent, and it is the
consensus of opinion that there should
be no further delay in opening the
nOSplJdl lot Ine WOTh ltilGuuCu' ENcAS-
thing is ready at the building for OPP
erations and there is no reason why
the place should not be ready for the
reception of patients before the first
of April. HCN.
J. S. Hayes, treasurer of theEassot
citation, made a report in brief to the
meeting. His books show that there
is now in the treasury a net cash bal
ance of over three hundred dollars,
and that there ar still outstanding
and due the hospital about $500 in
subscription notes. All bills so far
as known are paid. Mr.. Hayes was
instructed to push the collection OF
the notes that everything might be
settled up in good shape. The show
ing is an agreeable surprise to all
concerned and shows acceptable work
on the part of the board of manage
| ment. The cash on hand is due to
the splendid results of Shower Day.
| Mr.. Hayes was also instructed to pre-
pare list of all receipts and expendi-
lures from the organization of the
| association up to and including the
annual meeting of March 8, 1908.
This will show every subscription and
donation made to the hospital, and
| will be given publication to preserve
| the record.

Jury IS REPRIMANDED.
Dismissed From Service Because Of
Verdict Returned.

Hon. w. G. Clements has severely
reprimanded the jurymen for their
leniency in returning verdict OF
assault" in the case of the State VS..
VIM. Howells, and as result he dis
charged the twelve men from the
jury panel for the term and ordered
twenty-five additional jurymen drawn.
There is a strong feeling among
those who heard the trial that the
evidence was sufficient to warrant a
verdict CT guilty on the charge
brought against the young man, OF
assault with intent to commit rape,
and the lighter verdict which was re-
turned created somewhat OF a stir,
1t has since been stated by one OF
the jurymen that during the night
Saturday, they desired additional in
structions from the court, but were
unable to summon the bailiff. and so
applied the law to the case according
to their best knowledge and belief.

McCullock, a white miner employed
in the mines of the Crescent Coal Co.
at this place was struck by North
western switch engine near the yards
here Monday afternoon, sustaining
severe injuries, which resulted in
death a few hours later.
Considerable mystery surrounds
the killing of the man. The engine
men state that he was lying at the
side of the track when they struck
him. They noted a dark patch at the
side of the track and thought it to be
a piece of coal. The wheels mashed
the hand and the head was struck in
such a manner as to cause fatal injur-
les. The affair WIN be investigated.

morning by the escape OF steam from
the furnace. 1t was thought for a
time that her injuries would be more
serious than they were. but she re-
covered rapidly from the effects of
the scalding and was able 10 return

occurred in the cellar Of her home. A
rubber hose had been attached TO the
drain from the hot water reservoir In
the furnace and as she turned on the
water the hose blew OFF and the hot

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AZ
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL

Chicago, Marc THE Black Dia-
mond today says: Although the re-
tailers and consumers are reason
ably sure that there is going to be a
suspension of mine activity for part
of April at least, no marked uneasi-
ness is felt regarding the supply oil
coal during the shut down.
The week has seen little inquiry,
but aside from disclosing curiosity it
has meant little to the producers OF
coal, as only small percentage of in
quiries have been turned into actual
orders. The railroads are beginning
to take little coal in anticipation OF
shut down, but their needs are very
readily supplied by a shift from the
minimum to the maximum contract re
quirements. The factories have been
Indifferent because they are not much
concerned whether their plants are
compelled to close down or not.
The last report showed that the
railroads have something like 100000
cars lying idle. Since empty cars
draw the per diem charge the same
as loaded cars, it is natural to assume
that the foreign lines are not retainins
there cars, and consequently all o.
theln are stored upon the home rails
There has not been, recently, any free
interchange of equipment, Amy in
creased demand for coal will cause
some of these idle cars to be loaded
and started out If they have any
distance at all to go they will not be
returned to the mines before the Isl
of April. This promises to cause &
peculiarly tight car situation before
the 1st of April. -.
