amount OF such bounty.
1t is required that all imported ar
ticles capable of being marked with
out impairment of their value shall be
stamped with the name OF the manu-
facturer and the country of origin.
A very elaborate provision for the
administration of the customs laws
was adopted by the conferees. 1t is
practically the same as that adopted
by the senate. II is intended to pre-.
vent differentiation of articles on
which there is no foreign market b.

Tolbert Death resulted from old age
Mr.. Tolbert was one of the early
settlers of Oskaloosa, coming to this
city in the fall of 1876. He opened q
blacksmith shop, working continuous
ly at the trade for nearly three score
years, giving up active work six years
ago on account of i'll health. When
Mr.. Tolbert came to Oskaloosa it was
a little rural village, but he thought
the town had fine prospects of a big
growth, so he opened up his black
smith shop, shoeing the horses and
oxen of the early residents OF the
county. His first shop was located on
"A
same lot now occupied by the Street
Car Depot. He stayed in this location
for a good many years and later
moved to where the Carl Shuereman
shop on First avenue west now stands.
He was born near Wheeling, West
Virginia, July IS, 1920, and was eighty,
nine years and thirteen days old at
the time of his death. In 1915 he
came to burlington and in the follow
ing year he drove overland to Oska-
roads existing in those days.
In 1S47, when people were seized
with the gold fever and started to-
wards California, Mr.. Tolbert went to
that far western state, making the
trip overland in a wagon pulled by a
team of oxen. He made the return
trip by water. Although never elected
to a public office, Mr.. Tolbert always
took a great interest in Oskaloosa and
it's affairs and he looked with pride
upon the growth of the place from a
little country village to the present
city.

August 2, at 2:30 o'clock, from the
residence. Interment in Old GENE
terry beside the remains of his first
wife. He is survived by a widow and
one son, T. C. Tolbert Of this city, a
sister, Mrs. Emma Campbell of Sully,
and brother, Isaac Tolbert, of south
ern California. Mr.. Tolbert was a
member of the Odd Fellows organiza-
ton and the local lodge had charge of
the funeral. &.

most of its products come in under
the same terms.
Comparison Hard to Make.
The principal difficulty in the way
of clearly detailed comparison be-
tween the present, so-called Dingley
law and the new bill lies in the fact
that in most of the more important
and sharply contested provisions and
schedules radical Encouragement of
classification and a shifting from spe-
cific to ad valorem duties leave few
common terms for comparison.
Mr.. Payne's statement comprised an
analysis of the bill. showing both the
increases and the decreases, but this
detailed presentation was preceded by
a general summary in which he I'M
dertook to show the extent of revenue
increases and decreases according TO
schedules. According to this show
ing the total increases were on impor.
tations valued at sS52, 512.525 and the
total decreases on importations,
amounting to s4,97S,122,1 24.
In this preliminary statement Mr.,
Payne said that he had made an
investigation based on the census re-
turns of 1905, showing the amount of
domestic consumption of articles upon
which duties have been raised and
also the articles upon which duties
have been lowered by the bill as fin
ally reported from the conference
committee. This had been done be-
cause comparisons have been made
based upon the amount of importa-
tions. he said.
Duties" he said, ''haye been low
cred where they were too high under
the present law, sometimes prohibi-
tive in character, and for that reason
the importations We're comparatively
small. On the other hand they have
been raised in some instances where
the tariff was insufficient for protec-
ton and the importations were very
great" s.
Table Shows Results.
He then gave the following table,
which shows the consumption value
of articles on which rates of duty
have been increased and decreased in
all cases where the amount of pro-
duction could be ascertained:

LEMENTS.-Thomas Henry Glenn
ents was born in ShamUkin, Pa, Jan.
9th, 1880; died July %, 1909, death
being caused by a fall of rock and
coal, which struck him on the back
while he was busily engaged in the
mine. He came to Iowa when only one
year old and has lived several places
in the state, but for the past fifteen
years has lived in or near Beacon.
When only nine years old his moth
er died and after that he and his
grandmother made home for his ten
brothers. He was married to Miss
Leila Cochran Sept. Is, 1903. To this
union were born two children, Albert
James, three years old, and Viola, one
year old. He was kind husband and
loving father, son and brother. He
had happy disposition, ever planning
the comfort of others and was espe-
cially happy that last morning as he
left home, calling back to the baby
as she said good bye to him.
The language of a citizen of the
town was, "He was an ideal husband
and father" During the winter OF
1904 he was converted and joined
the M. f. church at Beacon while liv-
ing southeast of Oskaloosa. They
were some distance from their own
church so put their letters into the
Friends church, which was quite near
them, where they continued mem
bers until about two months ago, when
they again had their membership
brought to Beacon. This shows that
they had a continued interest in the
work of the Lord. How necessary to
be constantly ready to go, for we can
not tell what moment we shall be
ushered into eternity.
During the last day of the life OF
the deceased he was making plans
for the future, but God had better
plans for him and took him home.
"The pains OF Death are passed,
Labor and Sorrow cease and lifes long
warfare closed at last"
The funeral was held at the m. f.
church and burial at Forest cemetery.
The floral tributes were many and
beautiful. Relatives from distance
were: Mrs. Harry Hunter, OF Canon
City, Colo; Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur
Clements, of Norwoodvilie, Ia; Mr..
and Mrs. ]. F. Clements, of Ottumwa;
Mr.. and Mrs. Geddys, of Colfax, Mr..
