DO NOT BE DECEIVED.

As a democrat of democrats, Alex
Miller says in his Washington Demo
crat. that there are a good many Ill
advised members of his party Whc
are congratulating themselves tha'
the republicans have passed into the
limbo Of long forgotten things, I'M
went, unhonored and unsung and ne
is consequently surprised.
DO not" advises Mr.. Miller, Tor
one moment get the notion that the
G. o. p. is dead and not even sleep,
ing. Why, even before the clash OF
arms has ceased and before the dead
are buried and while the batueneld
is strewn with the wrecked army Wag-
ons and camp equipages and with the
manned and wounded, We say before
these things are cleared up, We hear
the clarion note of the republican
hosts summoning the scattered rag
ments of their army together TO make
ready for the battle that is. to- ensue.
"Of course. if the democrats have
sense. as we think they will have,
there will be a long line of democratic
presidents just as there was from
Thomas jefferson to Andy jackson,
scarcely being a break, but II the
democrats nave no sense they ought
TO be licked. But to think that the
republicans who won many northern
local offices, will go out Of business
because of one defeat is TO :discredit
human nature. 81
Why. when We were licked SO I'm
mercifully in 1904, We hardly had All
Office OF constable anywhere between
Mason and Dixon's line and Canada,
and yet, We were able to come back in
1910 and win congress and with
Champ Clark's splendid record as
speaker we carried this election.
No. 'indeedy,' the writer Of these
scattering lines does not know much
but he knows too much for that
He knows that the republican party
will get together and in four years,
when we have reelected Wilson we
will know that We have been in a
battle. and it will be battle royal.
And don't you forget it,.

UNITY IN RELIGION.

A notable gathering was held in
Chicago last week, when representa-
tives of thirty-twO different protestant
denominations got together under the
formal name of the Federal Council
of Churches OF Christ. The cOnven.
ton was the result of a suggestion
made by Episcopal churches in their
convention at Cincinnati several
years ago, looking to a closer unity
and possible consolidation Of various
denominations. The most striking
feature of the convention was the
adoption of the following composite
creed, which it is believed will tend
to cement the different denominations
in closer bonds OF faith and action:
The churches must stand
For equal rights and complete JUS
tice for all men in all stations of life.
For the protection of the family by
the single standard of purity, uniform
divorce laws, proper regulation OF
marriage and proper housing.

C. STROHMEIER DEAD
Well Known Market Man Killed
in Runaway.

Charles Strohmeier pioner butcher
and market man of OskalOOsa, was
killed last night about six o'clock in
front OF the Upton Coomes place near
the Prime school house northwest of
the city, by being thrown from his
cart when the horse he was driving
became unmanageable. In falling he
alighted on his head, breaking the
neck at the second dorsal yertebrae,
death ensuing almost instantly. Mr..
Strohmeier had been out in that sec
ton during the day looking at various
punches of cattle and was on his way
home when the accident occurred.
Just how it occurred is unknown, but
it is thought he WAS attempting to
wrap the blanket or robe about his
body and was standing up in the cart
when the horse gave a Mnge. H...
Mr.. COomes was only a short dis
lance away at the time and hearing
the crash went to the scene, secured
the horse, and with the aid OF some
neighbors passing, carried Mr.. Stroh-
meier TO the house and notified the
family. Before Mrs. Strohmeier and
Dr. Mclean arrived, however, life
was extinct The body was brought
to the city Immediately and taken to.
the home at 210 Second avenue east.
Mr. Strohmeier is survived By his
wife, four daughters and a son. -
A brother, Fred Strohmeier, who
was associated with him in business,
was killed in a runaway some nine or
ten years ago.

FARM. HOME IS, BURNED
Explosion, From Unknown Cause,

Unaccountable explosion of a fifty.
gallon tank of coal oil, about nine
O'Clock Monday evening, caused the
| destruction of the home In Adams
township, wherein G. G.. Laughlin was
lying dead. The burning oil was
thrown over the house, the occupants
of which escaped in their wearing ap-
parel and the body of the deceased
was removed to place of safety
with effort 81, r.
No one knows the cause of the ex.

located at the rear and the side OF
the dwelling. 1t let go with a detona-
ton tnat was heard distance of sew
eral miles from the scene of the fire.
Blazing oil was thrown in every d.
rection from the tank and instantly
the residence was enveloped In
| flame. The sides and the roof of the
building had been covered with the
burning oil and the fire burned with
utmost rapidity. Members of the
family, exhausted by the care of the
patient, had retired. Some Of the
watchers were in the building and
some had gone to neighboring houses.
For few minutes the inmates of the
Laughlin home did not know what
had happened and they were terri
fled by finding the building ablaze
from top to bottom. Realizing that
the building was beyond saving they
returned to the house in the efforts to
save some of the contents. Several
of the rooms were already ablaZe and
the thick smoke was pouring through
every apartment. The occupants
did well to gather their clothing and
few personal belongings and insure
their own safety. By determined eff
fort and through personal risk a
piano was taken from Oe of the front
rooms of the house. This instrument
and rug were the only pieces OF
property saved from the house. ri, ..

where preparations, for the funeral
were completed and where prayer

leaving for the city.

the house and contents was covered

Iof the state has taken a shot" at
Oskaloosa because of the closing up
of one of our hotels. Some of them
have gone so far as to intimate that
the town is dead. The Keota Eagle
has found out that ~
The Downing house In Oska-
loosa has been closed up by the
sheriff because 1t couldn't pay
its rent. In times past il was
one of the best known hotels in
this part of Iowa"
TIE fact of the matter. is that the
closing of the hotel is due to dis.
pute between the landlord and the
owners of the property. When the
saloons were closed last April the
landlord was CUT out of an income Of
500 per month on suitcase. He
thinks the owners should bear part OF
this, and they don't see il that way
As soon as the matter is adindicated
in court, the hotel will resume bust
ness. The trouble is not a failure, as
the business of the house has been
good. Oskaloosa was never as pros
porous before, az

] count my treasures Ger with care
A little toy that baby knew,
A little sock of faded hue,
little lock of golden hair.
Long wears ago this Christmas time
NV little one-my all TO me
Sat robed in white upon my knee
And heard the merry Christmas
chime.
Tell me, my little golden head,
n Santa Claus should come tonight
What shall he bring my baby bright
What treasure for my boy? | SAID
And then he named the little toy,
While in his round and uuththi
eyes
There came a look of glad surprise
That spoke his trustful, childish Joy.
And as he lisped his evening prayer
He asked the boon with baby grace
And toddling TO the chimney place,
He hung his little stocking there.
That night as lengthening shadows
crept
| saw the white winged angels come
With music 10 our humble home
And kiss my darling as he slept.
He must have heard that baby prayer,
For in the morn, with glowing face,
He toddled to the chimney place
And found the little treasure there.
They came again one Christmastide,
That angel host so fair and white,
And singing all the Christmas night
They lured my darling from my side.
A little sock, little toy,
A little lock of golden hair,
The Christmas music on the air,
A-watching for my baby boy.
But II again that angel train
And golden head come back for me
To bear me 10 eternity,
My watching will not be in vain,

The PARCELS POST.

| Plans for the installation of the
parcels post on January l are wei in
hand and with the beginning of the
new year the post Office will become
a competitor of the express compan'
lies in the handling of merchandise.
Post Office officials are expressing
some apprehension lest the operation
of the zone system" of rates on par
cells cause some confusion until the
public is educated to the usages of
the new common carrier.
! Establishing zones by drawing cir
cles of different diameters, with each
post Office as a center, would mean
an impracticable amount of figuring.
Instead OF using townships and coun-
ties as units or starting points, il was
decided to divide the whole country
into blocks or units, each block be-
ing half degree in latitude in north
south extension and half degree OF
longitude east anu west. There are
$500 of these units in the country.
An example of how to get the first
zone is as follows:
Find the center Of the unit in
which your post office is located.
around that center Every unit
which lies wholly within that cir
Gle, is included In the first zone
from any post office, and the post
age rate is cents for the first
pound and 3 cents for each addi-
tiunai pound.
The second zone is determined
by drawing with the same center
circle of $50 miles radius. Every
unit which lies within it, but out
side of the first zone, is in the
second zone and the rate is 8
cents for the first pound and
cents for each additional pound
The method by which the sec
Ond zone is determined is used
for all other zones; their radii
and rate Of postage for the first ,
and additional pounds, respective
ly, being as follows: Third zone,
300 miles, 7 cents, cents Fourth
zone. 500 miles, 8 cents, 6 cents.
Fifth zone, ZOO miles, cents,
cents. Sixth zone, 400 miles, 10
cents, 9 cents. Seventh zone, L.
800 miles, IL cents, 10 cents.
