Methodist church last SUNDAY
was pronounced success
by the large audience which hiied
the church to its capacity,
The program opened with pleas
ing vocal duet; Songs Mother Used
to Sing" by Mrs. Moore and Miss !
Goldie Cave, assisted by the choir.
Mr.. Stevenson than sang The
Dear Home Land" in his rieh and
musical voice.
The song rendition OF "Home
Sweet Home" by the choir was
much appreciated.
Mr.. Davis sang Tell Mother LII
Be There" striking a responsive
chord in every heart. His clear,
harmonious tones made this touch
ling song appeal to each person.
The song was fitting sequel to
the sermon.
Rev. Moore took as his text Her

To-day's Markets.

Chicago Union Stock Yards Sept. 6.
Packers had on their war paint
again to-day and routed the hog sales
men from the finish. Early sales were
big 10 cents lower than yesterday
but the packers refused to take hold
even at this decline, and later when
another nickel was taken off they
bought but sparingly. All day the
market was weak, dull and sluggish
although the quality of all fresh ar
rivals was good. Many thousand were
left over to-day at the close to be
bought up by packers late this even
ing at a further reduction or to go
over to be added to a large estimated
run tomorrow. Predictions are made
that another dime will. be cut off to-
morrow. The bulk of the hogs to
packers sold at $6.S5@72O as against
$6.95@7.40 yesterday; $710@7.45 last
Wednesday; $7.25@7.65 four weeks
ago; $S.S0@9.40 Wednesday Sept. Z,
1910; $8O0@8.3O corresponding We'd
nesday in 1909 and $6.70@6.95 in 1908.
The top reached only $40 as against
$7.65 yesterday; S775 last Wednes-
day; $3.50 four weeks ago; $1,000 one
year ago; $S.45 two years ago and
S7.15 three years ago to-day. There
was a rumored sale at $745 today but
1t could not be located.
The 1900 fresh arrivals of cattle
to-day was not an excessive run and
while quality generally was poor
prices were maintained throughout
the day steady with Yesterday.
Too many sheep and lambs are
coming to market and the quality Is
too poor Nothing sold to-day that

The estimated receipts for to-mor-
row are $4,000 hogs, 1000 cattle and

FATALITIES In MINES.

Every second round of the clock,
day in and day out, eight men lose
their lives through accident in mines
throughout the United States. Each
"a hours throughout the year this
tribute is paid that individuals whose
lives lead along less perilous paths
may live in comfort, health and hap
piness. To cut down this appalling
slaughter of human beings is one OF
the objects for which the American
Mining Congress, which holds its four,
teenth annual session in Chicago,
September 26th to 29th, is striving.
Thus far its efforts have been
crowned with gratifying success. 1t
has secured the co operation of the
federal government in the prevention
of mining accidents and the result
has been a saving of 5000 lives in
the past three years. Much of this
work has been accomplished by the
federal Bureau of Mines, the ere:
alton of which in 1910, followed Wig
orous campaign for its establishment
by the Mining Congress.
Large as the above figure seems,
however, the fact still remains that
at the present day the annual sacrifice
in the United States of men who toll
underground is double that of those
European countries where WORK SINH
lar to that of the Bureau of Mines
has been perfected. The Mining Con-
gress is determined these facts shall
be placed before the public, that with
the better understanding of the coun.
try at large, it may be aided in the
labor of securing ample appropria-
tions from Congress to prosecute the
work for greater safety and etticien-
cy in mining operations.

THE CITY HALL

One week from today the voters of
the city hall will decide whether Os.
kaloosa is to go forward or to stand
still, which is synonymous with go.
ing backwards.
With the work on the Oskaloosa,
Waterloo interurban we'll under way
and the prospect of opening up an en-,
tirely new territory and bringing into
our midst a new stream of business
from the northeast, it is but right
that the city should set the pace for
year of progression 1912.
Every citizen who believes in the
future of our city should make it his
businesses to vote and work for the
building of a new city hall, the con-
tract for which has already been &C,
cepted by the city council.
Aside from the progressive move.
ment involved in the success of this
proposition, the necessity for proper,
ly housing and safeguarding the re.
cords of the city, is not the least of
the reasons calling for a suitable
building. Half the price of the new
building would not begin to pay the
loss which might be entailed by a dis,
astrous fire in the present quarters.
The records, representing years OF
work in the engineering department
of tn city need proper protection.
Again, the contract has been let
to local contractor. So far as pos
sible all material and labor entering
into the construction OF the new
building will be secured right here
at home, and the money thus expend,
ed will flow back again into the hands
of the people.
Get busy with your friends and see
that the city hall proposition gets a
rOusing majority.

FLY SLAUGHTER.

Swatting the fly single-handed will
ever be a disappointing and ineffec-
tive method of determination. The fly
can put so many more individuals in
to the field that the defamation of his
ranks is not noticeable. Some way
of annihilating him by squadrons,
brigades and whole army corps IL
imperative.
They seem to have found this way
in the vicinity of Lenox, Mass, where
the discovery is announced that the
oiled roads are deadly to the whole
winged tribe. Laying the dust and
Staying the flies is killing 100000,
more or less, flies with one stone.
By-products of petroleum, "tarvia"
and other materials spread upon the
roadway destroy all the eggs and lar
va of the house flies and other in
sects in the vicinity; after conducting
a series of experiments the Lenox
authorities find there is almost a to-
tai absence of the stable or biting fly.
Any form of crude petroleum spread
on refuse heaps ends any further in
cubation. The discovery of the ages
may be at hand and a fiyless world
become another of the mighty works
of man.

GREAT OUTPUT OF COAL

For the first time in the history OF
the United States the coal mines OF
the country in 1910 were credited
with an output exceeding half a bill
lion short tons, the combined produc
tion of anthracite, bituminous coal
and Ignite having amounted TO Sol,
576,S95 short tons, with q spot value
of 1923 ,745. This great output
according to Edward w. Parker, Goa
Statistician of the United States Geo
logical Survey, was attained in spite
of the fact that most of the mines in
Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas
and Oklahoma were closed for nearly
six months by one of the most bitterly
contested strikes in the history Of
the industry. The heaviest tonnage
mined in any year previous to 1916
was in 1907, when total of 4S0,363.
424 short tons was produced.
Compared with 1909" said Mr.
Parker, "the output in 1910 showed
an increase of 4O,762,279 short tons
or S.S5 per cent. Prices generally
were a little higher in 1910 than in
1909 the average for Pennsylvania

Most Horses Lack Quality.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-Horse trade was
congested and undertone of the mar.
ket was weak throughout. While
there was a fair attendance of buyers
at the auction orders were not urgent
and dealers had hard time effectine
a clearance. General quality was only
fair and choice offerings received
most bids. Receipts the first two
days this week totaled around 1000
against 1880 same period last week
and 907 the corresponding time last
year. Most horses on hand cleared al
$145@1S5, with few at 5000 and up,
ward; but there were some offered
which had to sell downward from

The STATE FAIR.

II is interesting TO recall that Oska
loosa for two years entertained the
Iowa State Fair. That was before it
had an attendance of 100000 people
for the week, with receipts running
over 100000. The first state fair
was held in Fairfield in 1853. 1t was
not much of an affair at that time
under present day comparisons. but
it was a great event in pioneer days
and people came from nearly every
quarter of the state. Other cities in
the state were favored with the
meeting until 1858, when it came to
Oskaloosa. The excellence of the
local grounds and the success of the
show here induced the directors to
come back in 1859. There was
strong talk Of locating the State Fair
here permanently, but other ambi
tious towns which wanted the trade
and money that the fair carried with
it, raised such a rumpus that the ex-
position was kept on wheels until
1887, when it was permanently To-
Gated in Des Moines.
1t will be remembered that in 1858
there was not a railroad in Mahas
ka county and the only facilities for
reaching OskalOosa was by stage
coach over five or six well marked
trans-continental routes that crossed
at OskalOosa. In those days this
city was typical pioneer town, with
quite metropolitan citizenship.
The year preceding the fair of 1858
had been a poor one. Crops had not
succeeded very well and the country
was only convalescing from the finan,
cial sick-bed of 1857. The fair was
held on the Mahaska County Agricul.
tural Societys grounds, then consist
| ing of only twenty acres of ground.
Unusually heavy rains had put the
roads in bad shape and many exhibit
tors from a distance were unable to
make their displays.
The receipts were $2,S43 and the
premiums pads amounted to S1,6l2.
| 1t is interesting to compare those
! figures with the figures OF today, as
showing the wonderful growth of the

Federal aid in roads building ms

Federal aid in roads building may
become an actuality within the next
twelve months. From all over the
country accumulates positive evi
dence of the pronounced belief that
the National government should give
attention to better interstate communi
cation by road, and men prominent in
affairs of state are declaring them,
selves one after another as being in
accord with this progressive policy
OF the nations leaders, none is more
emphatic than Speaker Champ Clark

Market Notes.

Steady prices were paid for the
few desirable beef cattle here Tus'
day, but the common and low grade
stuff sold weaker and was very hard
to dispose of. Buyers said there was
only one load of good cattle on the
market. 1t did not take long to make
a clearance, although the big buyers
were not doing much. Good cows and
heifers sold steady.
Good feeding steers were wanted
and sold stronger, while the common
and medium stockers were 10 cents
lower. Choice stuff was scarce as the
quality was poorer than usual.
Practically two days receipts OF
sheep arrived Tuesday, as there was
a very little contribution Monday.
The big run was made up mainly OF
lambs, which declined 25c all along
the line. Good sheep were relatively
scarce and sold close to steady.
