Russia's Flags Described.

London.-A Russian officer, writing
to the Telegraph, describes the Rus
sian flags as follows:
81 should be glad If you could kindly
publish a paragraph which will settle
the dispute about regarding the cor
rect Russian flag.
THE yellow flag with the double
eagle is the imperial standard. The
white flag with the blue st. Andrews
cross is the Russian Daval ensign.
This is used only by the navy, and is
not allowed to be flown by private
individuals.
THE ordinary Russian flag, similar
to the English union jack, is a %tricolor
of white, blue and red stripes placed
longitudinally. This is the flag which
should be used by people III this coun-
try who wish to show their admira-
ton for their ally, Russia"

HERO OF BRITISH ARMY VETERAN OF MANY WARS

London.-Gen. Sir Horace Lockwood
Smith, orrien, hero of the historic re-
treat of the English from Belgium, has
long been known as n of the best
fighting officers in the British army.
Educated at Harrow, he joined, when
eighteen years old, the Sherwood for
esters. At the disastrous battle of
Isandula, in 1879, he was one of the
few officers who, by his athletic pow

on him.

Egyptian campaign of 1882, in which
year he raised and commanded a
corps of mounted infantry. and in

SEEKING MORE LIGHT
Rose Hill Wants Electric Circuit
Established to That Town.

Rose Hill is seeking the light, the
kind that shines. And it would have
the brightness to show both upon the
streets and in the homes and the
stores of the town. Having arrived
at the conclusion that light is need
ed and having reached the determin-
alton to have electricity for the town
the next step in order was ways and
means" TO aCertain what would be
necessary, a committee of business
men of Rose Hill, members of the
city council, Ernest CASTOR, Sol Nor
gan and Frank Henderson were dele
purpose of comforting with General
Manager Jackson of the Oskaloosa
Traction and Light Company con-
corning the possibility of the estab-
lishment of circuit for Rose Hill;
the probable cost, the amount of pat
ronage necessary to secure service
and other points of information.
Mr.. Jackson of the o. T. & l.. Co.
met the Rose Hill committee last
week and the matter was under con-
sideration. Rose Hill is about ten
miles to the east of Oskaloosa and
the juice could be furnished if there
would be enough patronage to war
rant the construction investment.
Just what Rose Hill desires in the
form of service will be the first step
to consider and just how much pat
ronage will come from store, bust
ness place or residence, churches,
halls and the like, must be determin-
ed approximately. Rose Hill people,
it is said are practically united upon
the improvement of lighting the
streets of town and many are willing
to contract to use current for resi-
dence and shop. The town is to be
canvassed and the citizens have the
assurance that the electric company
will meet the people half way.

This last production was so pleasing
as to demand a recall. Prof Carter

partment have certainly done most
worthy work during the past year.

ring in the Music department of Penn
College owing to the resignation oil
Professor Howard l.. Hockett it has
become necessary to secure someone
to fill his place. After giving the
matter much consideration and inves
tigating the fitness OF a number OF
applicants the Board of Penn College
has elected Miss Marie KalbaCh. to
the position. Miss Kalbach is an Os.
kaloosa young lady, being a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Kalbach, OF
SIS High avenue east. Miss Kalbach
attended the public schools OF Oska-
loosa until she was ready for High
school, and then had three years
work in Penn Academy. She then
became a boarding student in Dana
Hall School for Girls in Wellesley,
Massachusetts, where she spent two
years specializing in piano music.
Since then she has been studying
both vocal and instrumental music.
The last two years she has spent in
New York City studying singing. This
work has been in the nature of priv
ate lessons with Lillian Brechemin
Gillespie. Mrs. Gillespie is one of
the greatest teachers in singing in
the country, having been a student
of Nine. Pauline Viardot Garcia, of
Paris, who is a sister of the great
singing teacher Manuel Garcia.
Miss Kalbach has, in addition to
this extensive work in singing, tax.
en- auxiliary courses in the American
Academy of Dramatic Art. She has
also had private. courses in French
German, and Italian lyric diction
studying in these subjects with Mae
Laird Brown, of New York City.
On account of this extensive train
ing, together with much natural abil
ity and a great love for music, Miss
KalbaCh will be eminently fitted to
do the work which will be required
of her at Penn College. She will have
charge of all the vocal work. private
lessons, training of glee clubs and
choruses. The management of the
college considers that it has been
very fortunate in securing a teacher
of such preparation and ability, and
will expect the high standards of
the Department of Music which have
been established by Mr.. Hockett to
hp maintained

Iowa Good Roads Day.

Monday, June 10, is special good
roads day in and for Iowa, as per
proclamation of the governor of the
state, If 1t is to be a day for more
speeches and for more resolutions,
then perhaps it would have been
much better if the governor had not
proclaimed. For while good resolu-
tons may build good roads in a much
warmer climate. they have never i'm
proved the roads of the state of Iowa.
