1T CAUGHT HIS EYE.
Editor Of the Modern Merchant Copies
Bee Hive Add,

The Modern Merchant, a leading
trade paper, noticed a recent page ad-
vertisement which the Bee Hive store
of this city had in the Herald not long
ago, and it reproduces it in the issue
of July 4. Criticising the advertise
ment it says:
The critic thinks pretty well OF
your ad, Mr.. Bee Hive. | do think,
however, that you have too many dis
play heads at top of ad and If your en-
cravings could be a little better and
more up-to-date it would be better. But
perhaps that not your fault. I've
done advertising for firms who would
not spend cent for cuts and as a
consequence the ads were not very
slightly. Pictures attract attention
and they sell goods, too. At an ex-
pense of fifteen or twenty dollars a
season for good illustrations a coun-
try store can make its advertising
much more attractive and greatly in
crease it's pulling power Buy more
cuts-buy better cuts. Oskaloosa,
Iowa, is nice little city with daily
paper and this is all the more reason
why good cuts should be used.

WORK is DELAYED.
New Plans Necessary for School
improvements.

The meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton which was called to consider the
proposition of rebuilding the Second
ward school building was postponed
indefinitely, and an advertisement has
been published for new bids under the
revised plans and specifications now
being prepared by Architect G M.
Kerns of Ottumwa. Mr.. Kerns was
In the city this week looking over the
building and he is now preparing speci-
fications for the new bids 1t was
found that under the old plans the
work could not be done as cheaply as
had been expected. The appropria-
tion voted upon is $1,000 and the plans
were revised to come within that
amount. 1t has been determined that
the old roof of the building may be
saved by reinforcing it with steel
rods and 1t will not be replaced. The
tower is to be torn down and not re-
built and, otherwise, the old plans will
be conformed with in practically every
detail.
Miss Alta M. Boyer has handed in
her resignation as teacher in the Sec
ond ward school She states as her
reason for resigning that she desires
to continue her studies in college.
The Board will act on the resignation
at its next meeting.

BIG REALTY DEAL.
The Frankels are Forging to the Front
In Des Moines.

Messrs. Manassas and Nate Frankel,
of Des Moines, in whom all Oskaloo.
sa people are interested on account
of their former residence in this city
have just completed another big realty
deal in the capitol city. They have
purchased the Whisenand property,
20. COS and 610 west Walnut street,
a forty-four foot front property, pay.
ing therefor something in excess OF
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars.
The Frankels also announce that
they will make improvements to pro
perty now owned by them to the ex-
tent of one hundred thousand dollars.
They will rebuild the McQuaid store

The Frankels made Des Moines peo-
pie take notice when they went to
that place some years ago and they
have since been instrumental in
making many big realty and business
deals since that time. The boys have
a capacity for big business. They are
setting a pace in business circles of
Des Moines that is making them the
leaders OF Des Moines' finance.

DECISION IS UPHELD.
Judge Willcockson Sustained In
Local Road Case.

A decision of the Supreme Court of
Iowa has just been handed down in
an interesting Mahaska county case,
affirming the findings of Hon. X. n.
Willcockson. The case is that of G..
w. Davis vs.. M. X. Pickerell, ct al.
The suit was brought by Mr.. Davis
In the fall of last year against Mr.
Pickerell, road supervisor of West
Des Moines township. and the three
trustees of that township to collect
damages in the sum of 5000 claimed
to have been sustained by the alleged
destruction of runaway under the
road. The plaintiff, Davis, alleged in
his petition that he had constructed a
runway three feet wide and fourteen
feet long under road, which divides
his land, with the permission of the
county board of supervisors secured
about twenty-five years ago. The run
way was constructed to enable the
stock, pastured in the north field, to
go under the road into the south field,
where there was a spring of water.
He alleged that he had kept the run
way and the road at that place in good
repair and that he had never heard
any complaints regarding the same
until in June, 1907, when Mr.. Pick
erell, working under the instruction
of the township trustees, without CIV
ing the plaintiff due notice, removed
the runway and filled in the road with
dirt. On account of having his two
pieces of pasture land separated with
out any convenient means of access
from one to the other, the plaintiff
alleged that he was required to en-
ploy additional help to care for the
thirty head Of cattle he was raising
for the fall market, and that he was
compelled to sell them earlier than
he had intended and at sacrifice in
price.
The defendants filed a motion for a
more specific statement to this petit
ton and, in compliance with the order
of the court, the plaintiff amended his
petition and showed that the consent
of the board of supervisors to con-
oti uSI inc runway, "nlSh hc fhdu
claimed he secured twenty-five years
ago, was verbal agreement. The
amendment also showed that In the
last year the runway had been rebuilt
at different location in the road from
where the original one was construct
ed, whereupon the defendants demur-
red to the petition.
On November II the cause came on
for hearing before Judge Willcockson
on the demurrer, and the same was
sustained and judgment was rendered
against the plaintiff for costs. The
case was appealed and the supreme
court affirmed the finding of the lower
court. The opinion was handed down
by Laid. John o. Malcolm, q. Y. Or
Wis and David Waggoner were attOr-
neys for the plaintiff and J. f. & w.
r. Lacey and J. G. Williams for the
defendants.

MEASLES IS DEADLY
CAUSES MORE DEATHS THAN
SCARLET FEVER-cASES
NEED GUARDING.

Des Moines, Ia, July 1l.-"More
deaths resulted from measles than
from scarlet fever in Iowa." said DR..
Louis A. Thomas, secretary of the
state board of health, yesterday, land
as many deaths resulted from it as
from some of the other more dreaded
diseases.
Complaint has been made that the
board of health has been too stringent
in requiring restrictions to be placed
over cases of measles, but the reason
ought to be obvious when it is known
that the mortality from that disease is
SO great.
During the first five and a half
months of the year there were 4,l9l
cases of measles in Iowa or just 40 per
cent of all of the cases of infectious
diseases reported to the state board OF
health. The total was 10,39S.
Following were the number of cases
of each disease reported to the board
for the first five and half months of
the year, according to the report made
public yesterday by the state board OF
health
