THE BAPTIST REVIVAL
Six Additions Have Already Been
Made to Church.

six additions have already been
made to the Baptist church since the
institution of revival services just a
week ago--three by baptism,o one by ex-
perienee and two by letters. Addi-
tional pledges for the church improve
ment fund nave also been coming in
voluntarily until the amount has been
raised to $500. The object is to raise
$500 before January list in order to
provide for the payment of all debts
and the making OF extensive improve
ments in the church building.
The second week OF the revival
meetings startes out with increased
interest and brighter prospects for Wis
ible results of the efforts being put
forth. Rev. w. c. Rutherford preach
ed two of the best sermons of his pas
torate Sunday and they were listened
to by very large audiences in spite of
the disagreeable weather. Following
the morning sermon the ordinance OF
the Lords Supper was administered
and the hand of church fellowship eX-
tended to new members. In the even
| ing the sermon was upon the subject,
why Did He Say It?" in which the
lpastor explained the cutting off OF the
Iunbelieving at the coming OF Christ.
His appeal to the unsaved was espe-
cially impressive and many were
moved by his preaching. Preceding
the sermon the quartet sang Face to
Fare" and during the invitation Miss
Jessie Duboc sang almost Persuaded
as a solo. Two came forward as appli.
cants for church membership and both
were formally received Miss Bessie
Harmon, by letter; and her mother,
Mrs. Harmon, by experience.
The meetings will continue with ser
wees every night this week except Sat
urday. The theme. of the sermons this
week will be upon The Prodigal Son,
the five subjects being: Monday, THE
Fast Young Man; Tuesday, Home
sickness; Wednesday, Kiss of Wei
come; Thursday, Placing OF the
Ring; Friday, Home Again.

FOOT BALL
O. a. S. Wins at Newton.

Oskaloosa high school added another
victory to her foot ball record of the
season in defeating the Newton high
school at Newton Saturday, the score
being II to .. Principal o. p. Flower
and Joseph Doe, as referee. accom-
panied the squad. The teams were
quite evenly matched as to weight.
slight difference being in favor OF
the local team. The Oskaloosa boys
played we'll, especially the backs, the
only possible weakness developing in
the end positions. Capt. Homer Mat
tison made the touchdowns, one
within five minutes after the start OF
the game. and the other within two
minutes of the last of the game. This
last touchdown was the feature of the
game. 1t was Oskaloosa's ball, eight
yards from goal, and goal to make on
the third down, and only two minutes
for play. Madison smashed the line
just to the left of center. was weight
Ell down by three men. but managed
to shake one off and carried the other
two over the goal line with him for a
touchdown. Quarterback Tom Watson
also distinguished himself by fast
work.

THE FIRST FROST.
Freezing Temperature Comes With
Storm of Monday Night.

The first killing frost of the fall OF
1909 was a decided freeze that has put
all vegetation out Of commission. The
freeze was preceded by snow fiurries
that at one time assumed the proper
tons of a blizzard The first snow
flakes fell about one o'clock Monday
afternoon, but they were not numer-
Gus. Snow fell again about eight
o'clock, in quantities that showed on
the ground. The storm again broke
about ten o'clock, and lasted about
five minutes and for that period of
time it is doubtful if we experience
anything more severe this winter. The
flakes fell fine and in great thickness
and were driven in great clouds be-
fore the northwest wind that whirled
the snow through the air with blind
ing force. The storm ended as sud-
denly as it came, but the temperature
went down below freezing. Thick ice
was formed on standing water in spite
of the high vino that prevailed. The
muddy roads were frozen stiff and
plants and vegetation were cut down
as il by scythe.

IN FACTORY ADDITION
Interesting Items From a Busy
Part of Town.

The High School Athletic Associa-
ton has leased the grounds of the Os.
kaloosa base ball association and are
using them for their foot ball games.
They practice on the grounds every
evening after school when the wealth.

through their vacation months find
this a very handy place to play.

The Iowa Manufacturing Co. are
making extensive improvements to
their factory buildings. The old roof
has been removed and a new gravel
one been placed. A large shed has
been added to the east side of the build
ing The Office part of the building
Is being enlarged by an additional
story being added. They will be apt
to increase their pay roll as soon as
the work increases. The factory has
been running steady all summer
The Artificial Ice Co. has fifteen peo-
pie on the pay roll. The water bill
is one of the most important bills to
meet at this factory and it is possible
that the company will provide way
to supply their own water for the cool
ing of the ammonia. There is some
talk OF digging deep we'll and erect
ing a large basin under the pipes to
catch the water and allowing the H 2 q
to flow back into the we'll from which
the water is first pumped. This will
make it possible to use the water over
and over again. The water bill alone
will amount to about 100000 this
| yea.

MOORE. Lieutenant" William
Moore, one of the oldest residents of
Oskaloosa, died at his home No. COS
D avenue west, Saturday evening,
October ., at eight O'Clock, of cancer
of the stomach after an illness and
suffering of about six months dura-
ton. A funeral service was held at
the late home Sunday afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock, Rev. Eugene Allen OF the
Central Methodist Episcopal church,
officiating. The body was taken to
Knoxville, the former home this morn
ing at $40 o'clock, via the Burlington
train. The funeral moved from the
train at Knoxville to the cemetery
where the grave service OF the 6. A.
r. was observed. The deceased was
an old soldier and a member of Fer
guson Post at Knoxville, which will
conduct the last rites.
Lieutenant" Moore, as he was
known to almost everyone about town,
was a member of Company C OF the
Seventh Iowa Volunteer Infantry. He
saw hard service and was at the battle
of Belmont and the engagement at
Fort Henry. At the siege Of Fort
Donaldson he was wounded and lost
an eye in consequence. He was
valiant and determined soldier ard
was advanced rapidly in the service
and became n lieutenant upon merit
being unanimously chosen to the place
hHp hn Nm
Berkey and John R. Baer, who were
company comrades during the time of
service, accompanied the body to
Knoxville acting as guard of honor.
John F. Lacey, J. o. Grant, w. r.
Cowan, William Berkey. Henry Snider,
Ben 'Cruzen, J. B. Pearson and John
r. Bier were pail bearers. The fun
eral occurred during the rain Sunday
and those who otherwise would have
been in attendance we've hin dered and
the number at the services was not
as large as it would otherwise have
been. The w. r. c. was represented
officially by number of the members.
William Moore was native Of
Ohio, born on Christmas day, Deem
Der %, 1884. His age at death was IA
years, 9 months and II days. He is
survived by widow, three daughters
and two sons. He has been a resident
of Iowa during a term Of sixty years,
the greater part of which he has spent
in Mahaska county and in Oskaloosa.
He was of a quiet, unpretentious and
Iunassuming nature and not disposed
toward Boosting Of things in the past.
If any one knew of the achievements
of William Moore, they must learn
from other lips than his. He was
highly regarded by his comrades and
the example of his life has not been
in vain.

WINS TWO FIRSTS.
Bread Made With White Fawn Flour
Wins At County Fair.

Among the prizes offered at the
county fair was one for the best loaf
of bread made from any flour, the first
prize was a s. silk umbrella; there
was also offered a prize for the best
loaf OF bread, any -four, for school
girl.
Mrs. H. A. Cole, north of town, won
the silk umbrella and Catherine Ger
hart, of this city, II years old. won for
children. The fact came out after
wards that both the winners were
using the same -four, White Fawn.
which shows that -four has something
to do with the making OF good bread

They pldnt Have to Change.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is con-
spicuous exception. 1t was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideal food.
1t is SO cheap that any one can af-
ford it and so nourishing that every
one needs it. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Oats has been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur-
ance of muscle and brain.
The Quaker Oats Company meets
all demands in the way it packs
Quaker Oats: regular size packages
and the large size family package;
the latter both with and without
china. 4
