BILE 20 eliminate the present expenses
and uncertain methods of distribution
that add so much to the cost Of liv-
ing without adding to the profits of
the producer or the comforts of the
consumer. No community in the
world is so able to build roads as an
investment or merely as a comfort
and it is only a matter of demonstrat-

they secure one hundred cents worth
of roads for every dollar of taxes
and Iowa will take her natural place
at the head of the list of common
wealths in this great movement as
she has in agriculture and education.
In closing, he urged the people not
to Judge the possibilities of the future
by mistakes or failures in the past,
but to profit by the philosophy of
Mark Twain, who said: 1--WE should
be careful to get out of an experience
only the wisdom there is in it, and
not be like the cat that sat down upon
the hot stove lid. She will never sit
down upon hot stove lid again, and
that is well. But neither will she ever

Oiled Streets Success.

For the past three years the town
of BOWS has been setting the exam
pie for other municipalities in the
matter of dustless streets. Three
years ago the people of BOWS de-
Cided to experiment with crude oil
as Il binder for the dust that charac-
terizes the streets of every town in
Iowa in the summer. That it was Il
success is proven by the fact that the
town has just applied eight thousand
gallons of crude petroleum to the
principal streets of the town. Two
more cars vii be ordered and the oil
applied 10 the residence streets OF
bows. II cost about $35 per thOus-
and gallons to buy and apply the oil.
The expense is betrayed by public
subscription and after the oil has
been applied the city surfaces the
streets with sand, the treatment max.
ing an admirable surface for traffic.

GREAT SINGER COMING
Madame Alice Nelson Secured For
the Oskaloosa Chautauqua.

. For some time the Oskaloosa and
Charles City Chautauquas, two Of the
largest in Iowa, have been combining
their efforts to secure Madame Alice
Nelson to appear on their programs
this season. The efforts have been
successful and the OskaloOsa Manage
,ment is IN receipt of a telegram from
Madame Nelson's manager in New
York City, accepting the terms offer.
ed. This great prima donna will ap-
pear in Oskaloosa for a concert at the
Chatauqua Tuesday evening, Aug. Is.
1t was a rare piece of good luck
which enabled Oskaloosa to secure
this star, for be in known that big
singers are hard to get during the
hot weather-then there is the furth-
er fact that the price commanded by
these noted artists is prohibitive gen.
orally to the smaller cities. However,
remembering the cordial reception
and liberal patronage extended Mad
and Schuman.Heink when she appear
led here some years ago, the commit
tee decided TO do something again
above the ordinary. We doubt if any
of the other Chautauquas in tho mid
die west will have Miss Nielsen and
this will be her first appearance on a
Chatauqua platform.
In the way of talent the coming
Chautaugua will be the most notable
in the history of the organization.
Two of the nations most brilliant
orators vii feature the program
Senator Robert La Toilette and Hon.
Bourke Cochran.
The music is exceptionally high
class, varied and plenty of it, and in
cludes the following: Madame
Alice Nielsen. prima donna so.
prano, Delanos Marine band, an out.
of the ordinary musical attraction.
The Thatcher Opera Co. on nine peo-
pie. presenting Carmen" Alber's
Octette, fine double quartette, in
popular programs. The kuehn Con-
cert Co. of four people. all artists
violin, cello, piano and dramatic
soprano. The Williams Jubilee Co.
1t is very generally conceded that this
company stands at the head of all
Jubilee companies. Eight finely edu-
Gated colored artists who have toured
the world.

La Toilette and Bourke Cochran, are:
DR.. Stanley L. Krebs, Edna Lowe,
Percival G. ReIN ick. Louis R. Will
liams, Prof C. w. Wassam, Bishop

Storm Near Rose Hill,

A miniature cyclone struck the
buildings on the Fox and Purdin farm
north or Rose Hill, last Wednesday
afternoon, and did considerable dam
age. A large portion of the roof on a
ninety foot shed was blown off and
carried with such force against the
roof of a hay barn, nearby, that that
building was unroofed, leaving the
four walls standing intact. Three
large maple trees and few apple
trees we're blown. The damage will
run around $500, covered by insur'
ance. No other damage was done in
the locality.

DOING Good Road Work.

John Cleveland and his county
road builders are at work on roads
about town, the main highways to
and from the city. The big tractor
and the heavy scraper and drag are
being used. On north Market street
the roadway is so hard, being equal
to a pavement that little progress
could be made toward getting the ma
terial into the center Of the road.
This street however is in a generally
very excellent condition and needed
little or no work.

Attack Union Parade.


More than two thousand men have
refused to recognize the union further,
and under the leadership Of agitstors
of the Industrial Workers of the World
the seceders from the big organization
attacked the miners union parade,
composed OF more than half the labor
bodies OF the city.
President Bert Riley fthe union
and Parade Marshal Conway we're
knocked from their horses by yolley
of stones from the rioters. Other Of
ficers of the union we're chased from
the line OF march and took refuge in
the sberiff's office at the courthouse.
The parade broken up and the speak
ing exercises in the theater abandoned
because of the stormy street scenes
the rioters moved on the union hall
In the center Of the city. Every piece
OF furniture in the building was de,
molished and thrown into the streets.
Toss Mayor Out Window.
Alderman Frank Curran, acting
mayor of the city, Socialist, went to
the union hall to appeal TO the rioters
to dispense, and was thrown from a
second story window to the pavement
He was taken to the hospital severely
injured. The mob did not cease its
work OF destruction until even the car
pets in the big assembly hall of the
union had been torn from the floor and
thrown into the street.
A crowd of 10000 persons witnessed
the demonstration. Police and the
sheriff's deputies were powerless.
Echo Of Copper Strike.
The trouble had its origin over the
dissatisfaction of the miners with
heavy special assessments levied
against them by the officers of the
Western Federation of Miners and the
local officials as benefits for the Mich
gan copper mine strikers. Although
the strike there has been called off the
assessments continued. Men failing tc
pay the assessments were disfran
chised at the recent union election
The climax came when the men EN-
ployed at the Spectator mine of the
North Butte company refused to ex
hibit their union cards to the six walk
ing delegates of the union sent Their,
to inspect them, The union officials
informed the mine management tina
the men would not be allowed to 20 Il
