the press about old time BARRIERS being
able to shave 80 and 80 men on Satur-
day, need some explanation" said
Rev T. Tyler, of the A. NJ. =. church,
who used TO handle the shears and
WELD the razor himself. Twenty
years ago all a shave consisted OF was
the amputation of the beard on the
face. There were no hot towel APP
plications, no powder or extras. The
neck was never washed or shaved un-
less the customer ordered it done and
paid extra for the work. | would
like to see some of those fellows who
tell about their accomplishments OF
the past, tackle eighty men in one
day as shaving is now done. II he
would get through with half that num-
Der he would have to go some. and II
he turned fifty men out of his chair
he would have to start early and go
late without stopping for rest or re-
|freshment It's different now" "A

A practice that should be promptly
discontinued is that of throwing dead
rats into the streets. A leading prac-
titioner of medicine whose business
takes him all over the city every day
reports that there is scarcely street
in Oskaloosa free from the bodies OF
dead rats. The practice Is not only
disgusting but unsanitary and extreme
Ily dangerous as we'll 1t has been dis
covered within the past few years that
rats are the carriers of the contagion
of the terrible disease known as the
bubonic plague. The rats are infested
with feas and the fieas infected with
the plague are the direct and active
agents in the dissemination of the dis
ease. By preference they abound on
Norway rats, but they are not con.
fined to this species. They may make
their habitat on any kind or variety OF
rat. Scarcely Pacific coast city is
free from the plague and in some OF
them the fatalities have Deen alarm
ingly numerous. To prevent the
Ispread of the disease 1t is necessary
to exterminate the rats and burn their
bodies. This latter precaution should
never be omitted. What with fur.
naces and stoves in full blast at this
time of year the conveniences for ere
mating the pests are directly at hand.
AS. measure of public safety all rats
Should be burned as well as killed.

Forty.nine divorces were granted by
the district court of Mahaska county
during the year 1908 according to the
court records. Between ninety and
one hundred petitions were filed for
divorces during the same period but
half of these were either dismissed by
the plaintiffs or refused by the court,
There were just 294 marriages during
the same year, SO one divorce petition
was filed for every three marriages,
and one divorce was granted for every
six marriages. OF this number, eight
divorces were granted during the
February term of court, II during the
April term, II during the September
term and Is during the month of De
|cember, the December term of court
being still in session: There is some
consolation in noting that this record
is not equal to that OF 1907, during
which one divorce was granted for ev-
cry four marriages.

To Our Many Friends in Rich
mond and Surrounding
Country

On November Goth and continuing to
December 4th, we propose to have our an
nual Mill End and Green Tag Sale. This
is looked forward to by our many friends
in Madison county as the greatest mercan-
tile event of the year. Our stock was never
so large or better varied than it is this
year. Our entire stock of Dry Goods,
Clothing, Shoes, Ladies' Coats, Blankets,
Comforts end Notions were never better
selected than they are at this time. Cur
business has been built up by strict atten-
tion to the details and wants of our custo-
mers. We believe in doing large bust
ness on small margin ofproft, and selling
goods at one price and marketIin plain fig
ures. In this annual event our store will
be entirely changed in appearance SO that
our oldest friends will hardly know it. 1t
will pay you to come fifty miles to do your
trading at this wonderful bargain sale.
We have engaged sever ii extra sales peo-
pie to wait on you and give you every at
tention. Do not forget in case of this
kind that the best barg aims sometimes 90
first, so be on hand early the opening day
and take advantage of some of the ripest
plums.
