THE MAKING OF A CITY
Various Improvements In Progress
In All Directions.

Abner BEansou HAS purchased a
tract of fifteen acrestof land lying east
of Forest cemetery.-a part OF what is
known locally as "the old Gruwell
farm" and will establish thereon the
Mahaska Nursery and Fruit Farm. He
has secured an excellent location and
will proceed Immediately, with i'm
lprovements. He intends erecting a
new residence and other buildings. Mr.
Branson is one of the oldest fruit tree
men in Mahaska county. He has been
at the business since 1867 and forty
years of this time has been spent in
Iowa. He Is director OF the State
Horticultural Society, and for per-
iod of nine years has had charge OF
the Southeastern Iowa Horticultural
Experiment Station. He has been a
ldirector of the Southeastern Iowa
horticultural Society through a contln-
uous term Of thirty-nine years. Mr..
Branson is conducting an office and
delivery ground up town and has his
IplaCe of business in the old Greenough
property, No. 2l3 High avenue east.
Rapid progress is being made in the
erection of the new building to be
used as an automobile garage and re-
pository by the Oskaloosa Vehicle &
implement Co., al the corner OF Il
street and First avenue. formerly oc-
cupied by the, Joseph Jones residence.
The building is being constructed en-,
tirely OF the cement blocks. The con.
crete foundation was completed last
week and the first layer of cement
blocks placed. The door frames have
been fitted in their permanent places
, and the walls will soon be taking
Ishape around them. The corners
have been constructed several feet
high and the remainder OF the walls
will be built more rapidly. George
and Harry Carbon are personally sup
Ierintending the work.
The Home Telephone Company has
completed the extension OF their un'
foreground cable conduits as far west
as the alley between c and d streets
The system runs west under the al
Hey between A and High avenues and
turning at the western extremity run:
south to the alley between First and
High avenues, where it turns east.

VIM. Stotts is spending considerable
money in the Improvement OF his resi-
dence property at All South II street
He has raised the building and will dig
a cellar under 1t and build a com
Iplete new foundation. Repairs in the
way of painting and papering will be
done also.
Good use Is being made OF the dir
obtained from the numerous cellars

INDIGESTION IS
ENDED FOREVER

Why not start now-today, and
forever rid yourself of Stomach
trouble and Indigestion? A dieted
stomach gets the blues and grum
bles, Give it good eat, then take
Pape's Dlapepsin to start the di.
gestive juices working. There
will be no dyspepsia or belching of
Gas or eructations of undigested
food; no feeling like lump of
lead in the stomach or heartburn,
sick headache and Dizziness, and
your food will not ferment and
poison your breath with nauseous
odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only SO
cents for large case at any drug
store here, and viii! relieve the
most obstinate case of Indigestion
and Upset Stomach in five minutes
There is nothing else better to
take Gas from Stomach and cleanse
the stomach and intestines, and
besides, one triangule will digest
and prepare for assimilation into
the blood all your food the same
as sound, healthy stomach would
do it.
When Diapepsin works, your
stomach rests-gets itself in order,
cleans up--and then you feel like
eating when you come to the ta.
BILE, and what you eat will do you
good.
Absolute relief from all Stomach
Misery is waiting for you as soon
as you decide to begin taking Dia-
pepsin. Tell your druggist that
you want Pape's Diapepsin, be-
cause you want to be thoroughly
cured of Indigestion.

HOW THE WIRELESS
TELEGRAPH WORKS.

munication between the United
States and England was estab-
lished. Marconi's explanation of
the working of the wireless cover
ed many conversations, but in
substance this is the way he made
1T clear TO my non.scientific mind:
"Wireless messages do not go
through the air, as most people
suppose, said Marconi, "but
they go through the ether, which
is the name given to the unknown
something that surrounds and per.
vades every atom of matter, wheth-
er that matter be air, water, earth
or any other substance. | do not
know, and probably ] never will
know, through exactly what path
the ether waves that carry the
wireless messages travel, but the
supposition is that those which we
are intercepting at Poldhu from
Glace Bay go through the most
direct route, which would be by
the air, water and earth, since the
curvature of the earth's surface
would make a direct line from
America to Europe pass through
the ocean g bed in mid Atlantic.
"The discovery of Prof. Herr,
that the discharge of Il high-po-
tentlal electric charge sets in mo.
tion waves which travel through
the ether in every direction, ex.
actly as sound-waves travel
through the air, only at an infinite
ly greater speed, ls the basis of all
wireless telegraph systems. This
tact has been known to science for
years. When l took up this work,
my aim WAS to discover means
whereby these waves could be de.
tected as they passed through the
ether. accomplished this at
first by means of the coherer,
based on the we'll. known tendency
of metallic particles to attact each
other or fly apart under the in
tluence of electric currents of oppo-
site powers. l found that, by the
use of powerful induction coils,
the secondary current connected
with vacuum filled with PARTICLES
of gold leaf, the presence of the
Herzian waves would cause the
particles to cohere, while they fell
apart when the wave had passed.
1t is on this invention that the
whole science of wireless telegraphy
IS based. ! have discarded the CO.
herer now for the instrument
which records the induced current

stantially the same.
"To send wireless message it
is necessary to have storage
batteries or dynamo capable OF
producing a considerable volume
of current The electrical energy
thus produced is stored in Leyden
jars, familiar to- every beginner in
electrical study, and, by the press
ing of lever, which corresponds
to the key of the telegraph opera
tor, discharge from the jars is
effected, setting in motion Her
zian wave that moves in every

was again depressed.
