'DR. HURT WINS FAME.
Former 0skaloosa School Teacher
Attr cts Atteni Jon in Miss ouri.

One of the feature stories of Sun.
day S magazine section in the St. Louis
Post Dispatch concerned the life of q
former resident of this city, DIR. HUI
Der William Hurt who was principal
of the OskalOOsa High school for sew
eral years. The story deals with DR..
Hurts hobby, that of home craft, and
tells many incidents during his career
as related to his hobby. At present
the DR.. il president of McKendree
College in Lebanon, ILL.,, and it is dur
ing his presidency that the story is
Easei. That college, president should
devote his entire time, not absorbed,
in school work, with home craft has
caused much comment about Leban-
on, and as a result the st, Louis Post
Dispatch has featured the story in
their Sunday Section. The article
traces DR.. Hurts interest in manual
training from his school room carving,
that of decorating the already decor
ated school desks and furnishings TO
his present and excellent home made
furniture and wood chaft articles. HIS
first attempt at the cabinet work, was
in Mt. Pleasant, Ia, where with 4
buck saw he transformed bed stead
into a wash stand.
The story then tells of his success
in securing the introduction of man.
ual training in the Oskaloosa High
school his work along home craft
line while here and also of his efforts
as combined with several high school
boys in making the large drafting
desks that now occupy Prin. p. E.
Belting's room in the local building.
The Dr's efforts are traced to his
present location. throuCh the schools
aid colleges with which he was con
Ie cted. Several illustrations show ar
ticles made bv DR. Hurt, one of them
being the large arm chair made in this
, city and displayed during the first
r,anual training display.

MANY GOOD FELLOWS
Between Three and Four Hundred
Families Visited by Them.

Goodfellows' in Oskaloosa were
more numerous than ever before on
Christmas Eve and organized effort
was made to see that Santa Claus did
not overlook nor slight any one in
Oskaloosa. Each Goodfellow had
one family. to look after and some
took several. So far as able to as
certain Santa Claus missed no home
in Oskaloosa with substantial things
and with those things that give
Christmas JOY and pleasure. Be-
tween three and four hundred families
were cared for by this movement.
Never before in the history has the
distribution of favors been so well
regulated and efficient. Owing to
the superintendent of the Social
Service Secretary. Miss Hollyce
Brown, and her Office force, few If
any Implications were possible. This
feature of the effort was splendidly
worked out.

Nice crisp radishes, growing in the

Test of Fire Apparatus at Capitol
Proves Eminently Successful

capable OF covering all points of the
roof and part of the dome of the
state library. ..-
The pressure used this morning
did not exceed eighty pounds to the
inch while the system is capable If
withstanding 125. Had this full force
been used the throwing power would
have been nearly doubled
In addition to the standpipes that
have been erected in the building a
great deal more protection is furnish
ed by the hydrants which stand at
three corners of the Capitol square.
Connection with these in the event of
fire not only gives full security to
the state building, but affords a lot
OF safety to the residences and stores
on the four blocks that surround the
square.
The cost Of installing the new ap-
paratus has been amazingly cheap,
in all less than 81 400, and by putting
it in a reduction of several hundred
dollars a year in rates has been OBJ
tanned from the insurance compaies,
so that practically this saving will
pay for the installation and in the
end it will cost nothing.

Library Should Be
Open Every Night

Editor Appeal-In reading the Ap-
peal of July 18th I saw a notice
signed by Frank Pyne, state librar-
ian, to the effect that the state libra
ry would be open to the public on
Thursday evenings of each week,
from ! p. m. until $50 p. m, for the
accommodation of the public. Great
Scott, what travesty on consider
alton of the peoples rights. A
farce, absolute and complete. In the
name of all that is good and holy,
what benefit will the people derive
from such hours and one evening a
week. Does the Library commission
think the people are going to charge
their memories with the fact that the
library is open only on Thursday
nights of each week from 7 until
$50 p. m.? Why, men and women
even forget their lodge meeting
nights, and if they want to go to the
library one night in a week they will
have to arrange all their appoint
ments and social functions every
week in order to conform to that ar
rangement. The reason for the adop-
ton Of such hours is not apparent,
unless it. an attempt of the librar-
ian to try and prove to the commits
sion that people will not take advan-
tage of the library when it is open
at night. The hours for the fiction
library to be open should be from II
m. until 9:3O p. m. every day in the
week, except Sunday. and on Sunday
from 2 p. m. until a p. m., the same
as all other public libraries are open
and then the people would know, get
the habit and be there regularly. But
the library is now run looks as if
there was no desire to serve the pub
lie. A READER.

To Test Validity
of 8-HOur Law

Labor Commissioner William E.
Wallace has received numerous COM
plants against the Battle Mountain
Exploration company, operating in
Copper Basin, for violating the eight
hour law. The company, it is stated,
has men at work prospecting on their
ground with churn drills and COM
pelling' them to labor twelve hours
a day in violation of the eight hour
law of the state. The company i'll
a letter to the labor commissioner
contends that the eight hour law
does not apply to their case as they
are only prospecting on the surface,
and have no mine or underground
workings.
Attorney General Thatcher was ap-
pealed to for an opinion in the mat
ter, in which he said hat the work
came under the eight hour law and
the company is violating its provi-
slons when they worked their men
over eight hours in the twenty-four.
AS COMPANY was IldIlCd Copy VI
General Thatchers opinion but they
still persist in the practice and from
their correspondence it is very evil
dent that they do not intend to
comply with the law unless forced
to do SO.
1t is the intention of Labor Com
missioner Wallace to proceed in the
matter without any further delay and
file complaint in the Lander County
court against the company.
1t is said the same conditions exist
IN Ely and decision of the courts
will no doubt be necessary before
the law will be complied with there.
When the Battle Mountain COM
pany first started their work, the
men only worked nine hours, but
