The Merry Wicow.

THE Merry WIDOW WHICH lS 10 pe
presented at Jefferson Theatre, Port
land by the Boston company on Jan.
q, 20 and 80, has been the most phen-
omenalIy successful light operetta ever
pl esented Since it's first production IN
Vienna in 1906 it has been presented
in no less. than 80 countries. The haun-
ting and alluring melodies which II
contains, have been sung and played
from st. Petersburg to Cape Town and
from Montreal to Buenos Ayres. Inc
company to be seen here, presented the
operetta for Is weeks at the fremont
Theatre in Boston, to total business
of more than $25O,0O0 and to average
weekly receipts Of more than $4,000,
thus breaking all theatrical records for
that city and establishing a new high

ST. And other valuable consideration
The Oskaloosa herald., 1909-04-22
What would you take?

Suppose you were required to live for
certain length of time on only one
article of food. Which would YOU
choose? f.
There is one food that stands without
rival for such test. Quaker Oats is
that one. 1t furnishes more strength
with least wear and tear on the digestive
organs than any other food. You'll feel
well and strong at the end of the time.
Try it. Don't stop eating other things,
but eat more Quaker Oats and you'll
notice the gain in strength.
The regular size package of Quaker
Oats sells at l0c, the large family size
packages cost Csc, and the family size
package containing piece of beautiful
china for the table costs Soc. All
grocers sell these.
Eat Quaker Oats daily for breakfast,
it strengthens you for the days work.

DronnAd Dead on Street,

While returning to his home at 745
West Fifteenth street shortly before
3 O'Clock Sunday afternoon, after
purchasing some stamps at drug
store, James NJ. Sims, for many years
engineer for the Longshore Planning
Mill company, dropped dead from
heart failure near 1929 West Center
street ST..
The body was discovered a few
minutes later. The umbrella which
Mr.. Sims was carrying when released
from his grasp blew in the strong
wind across the street. Mrs. p. j.
Brusnahan, who was looking from
the window of the nouse at 1929 Cen.
ter street, observed the umbrella as
it blew away, but was unable 10 dis
cover the owner.
An embank:nent obstructs the
view of the sidewalk from the house
at this point and Mrs. Brusnahan
was unable to see the body of the I'M
fortunate man. Fearing that some
accident had happened, however, she
started an investigation which re
suited in the discovery of the body
Sims had evidently died instantly.

Two funny incidents occurred in
Mayor Bacon's court lass week. One
prisoner, before His Honor for disor-
derby conduct, stated that he had only
two dollars and eighty-five cents on
his person. When told that he would
either have to secure the rest of the
fine or go TO Jail he reached down in
mis- pocket and pulled out crisp five,
paid his fine and went his way. An
other incident was an offender for
drunkenness. He had only seventy
five cents In change to pay his fine
Amounting to threeeighty-fye. He
asked permission to have an officer ac-
company him to get the remainder OF
the money He went out in the hall,
pulled up his pants leg and drew OUT

"A company OF holiness university
people, both men and women, Saturday

workers INDUCED in singing, prayer
and some speech making. When they

Des Moines, Ia, April 19.-David
Sullivan, an Oskaloosa candy maker
who for the last two weeks has occu
pied a room at the home of Mrs. Car
rie Holm, was found dead in his bed
shortly after noon Sunday by Mrs
Holm, who had become frightened by
the stiffness in the room and started
an investigation. g..
Sullivan had been dead for mum.
Der of hours, and it was stated by
Corner Newlen that death had appar-
emily taken place about ten o'clock
Saturday night. The cause given was
cerebral hemorrhage. The mans rel.
atives at Oskaloosa were notified and
arrived in Des Moines today to take
care of the body. ,. a.-t
Sullivan has been in the city for
about two weeks, coming from Oska,
loosa TO secure work at his trade. He
had not yet succeeded and was about
to give up the effort and return to his
home. He had made no complaints
of sickness and went to his room In
the Holm house Saturday early in the
evening. He was of quiet disposi-
ton and nothing was thought of the
stiffness that prevailed in his room
until the noon hour was reached yester
day.
Mrs. Holm then became alarmed
and entered the room, where Sullivan
was found stretched across the bed
dead. Coroner Newlen was notified
and took charge of the body. No an
nouneement has yet been made of
the inquest, which will depend on the
wishes of the family on their arrival

Central NJ. E. Church.

SCtIdi SHdiIIs
DIR. Allen preached by special re-
quest the same sermon that he
preached on Easter Sunday afternoon
to the knight Templars' Lodge. BY
some misunderstanding very few OF
the church people heard it and so DR..
Allen was requested to repeat l., as
the discourse was well worthy OF a
larger hearing The difference be-
tween the old and new dispensions
was quickly outlined and through
prophecy and historical writings the
Life of Christ has been studied for
about 1000 years by the people OF
various nations. The scenes Oh His
crucifixion and resurrection were
wildly. presented and potent lessons
for good brought out. Many of the
popular disbelief" in the resurrec-
ton were also discussed. The fact
that new life can come out of decay
'or death Is not surprising, as we have
evidence of this in the world OF Ma
ture. Here, the plant, the shell or
the body decays, but the life germ
still lives in the seed and this when
planted springs again into being a
new body.
So man is possessed of two ma
lures, one a natural and the other a
spiritual In time the natural body
decays, but the spiritual body lives.
We cannot measure divine things by
the limits of the human mind, and yet
many try to, and here they make a
great mistake. The true meaning of
the Resurrection of Christ to the
Christian was eloquently portrayed
and the sermon as a whole was great.
ly enjoyed. r..
The Epworth League meeting was
led by Miss Edith Smith and while
comparatively few were present. the
service was hearty and enthusiastic.
At the public service in the evening
Dr. Allen again preached or perhaps
addressed the people, or more partic-
on the Doctrines of Methodism. 1t
is an unfortunate fact that compare
lively few people really know why
they are Methodists. The Methodist
church stands for something in the
world and it should be the purpose
of every member to thoroughly know
his belief. H. .
At the morning service two new
members were received by letter and
one was received on probation. Mr..
Weiberly, of Mt. Pleasant. rendered a
vocal solo and Mr.. Gordon also sang
solo in the evening. tAe young
people of the Epworth League have
announced a concert for Tuesday
evening of next week, April q, 1903.

Facts About Eggs.

What makes eggs so high?" asked
customer of a grocer Saturday
The reply was too the effect that al
though more eggs are produced in
the county than in the day when we
bought three dozen for quarter, the
demand is greater. The shipper is
after the Iowa eggs and the home
market is compelled to pay the price
paid by the eastern dealer In the
days before our produce went out
side of the state we had more eggs
than we could we'll use, but that day
has passed. 't..
