Somebody had told her. It turned

about 1t. SO he had the coffin made.
In many cases those painted for

OF all the superb victuals which. by
their great variety and unique colloca4

Arcadia of every man who loves good
eating. the planked shad Is probably
the most powerful and poignant In its
appeal to the senses The wild duck,
though 1t sets the palate to vibrating
like an aeolian harp, has no thrill for
the eye. 1t is a small and unlovely
bird of dull color and ungraceful
outline. SO, too, the diamond back
terrapin. 1t has no more beauty in
death than a plate of soup. And GER
tain other exquisite delicatessen, for
all their sweetness do not soothe the

planked shad--ah, here we come to q
rstlelicacy which enchants US alike

has the imperial dignity Of a Charlie

As TO WHO SHOULDPA
Board of Supervisors to Pay for
Feeding City Prisoners.

Mahaska county and the city OF Os-
kaloosa are at outs" concerning a
certain problem, that is, boarding
and feeding at county expense, the
DRINKS and prisoners arrested by the
city and placed in the county Jail.
The board of supervisors contends
that the city should feed and house
it's own DRINKS, that it should have a
Jail or place of detention for DRINKS
and other arrests instead Of making
every person arrested in the city a
county charge.
A man is arrested Saturday after
noon. He is thrown into Jail and the
county pays for his board Saturday,
Sunday and Monday. The fellow is
taken before the mayor, assessed fine
and costs for drunkenness, disorderly
conduct or whatever else is punish
able by fine assessment, and the full
amount of the fine, If collected. is
turned into the city treasury.
The county supervisors do not know
yet what they will do in the prem cs
They say the county will not object
to city prisoners being kept in The
county Jail, but they are convi ced
that the cost for the board for city
prisoners should be paid for by @ ilxa-
loosa and not by Mahaska count
The board says that every munici-
pality in the county has a jail for he
housing of its arrests with the sic gle
exception OF Oskaloosa. New Sha on.
Fremont. Rose Hill, Barnes City, Uni.
yersity Park and Beacon have pieces
where arrests can be restrained and
confined. oskaloosa makes use OF the
county Jail. This condition Of afflirs
has obtained for several years and
the board is of the opinion that an
understanding should be reached as
to who is who and why.
