ANOTHER PIPE ORGAN
Orient Theatre Installs One Of The
w. w. Kimball Manufacture.

Oskaloosa has another Pipe Organ,
making the fifth instrument of this
character to be built in the town.
! The new organ was Installed in the
Orient Theatre by the w. w. Kimball
Company of Chicago for J. @. McCon-
nell and r. r. Houser the new pro-,
prietors of the Orient Theatre. 1t is
a plain instrument so far as exterior
appearance is concerned, neither are
its proportions great but when it
| speaks it is able to account for itself
in a way that leaves nothing to be
/ desired
The organ was built to occupy as
\ little space as possible over in the
northwest corner of the house but its
| insides are one solid mass of pipes.
' hundreds and hundreds of them and
the volumes of its voice is wonderful.
1t is able to produce a flute like note
or that of a violin with wonderful
softness or it is able to roar with the
force and fullness of volcano. The
instrument really comprises three
organs in one, the great organ, the
swell organ and the pedal organ with
four mechanical accessories together
with the usual couplers and swells.:
Two manuals with a compass Of
81 keys each and the pedal organ
accomplish the operation OF the in
strument The pipes are of three
classes, metal, wood, and reeds. One
of the stops of the organ is the "Vox
Humane" set of reed pipes the like
of which is not possessed by any 9TH
er organ in town. 5s ..."a
Operation OF the instrument is by
electric motor and blower attachment
in connection. Action is the Duplex
system and each pipe has an individ-
ual pleumatic valve for operation, and
each stop separate wind chamber.
All who have seen or heard the in.
strument have admired it, wondered
at its capability and admired its com
pleteness and beauty. Messrs. Nc
Connell and Houser are being round.
ly congratulated upon their enter
prise in installing such an. instru
ment.
But something of credit is due
Kick Coffin, organist, whose ability
as player has much to do with the
splendid showing made by the instru-
ment. Mr.. Coffin is right at home
with a pipe organ, in fact this is his
particular field where his talents
have full play and free swing. He has
operated number of organs but he
is free to acknowledge that the Orient
instrument has it over all others he
has handled. 1t is not so large as
some others but its powers are sur.
prising.
An expensive proposition? Yes,
may be. Good things come high The
instrument together with its installa-
ton and equipment represents an
outlay expenditure of around twenty q
five hundred dollars, possibly more
with motor and accessories consider,
ed, but in the Judgment OF the pro.
prietors the instrument will be worth
all that it costs and more
A formal opening to Introduce the
instrument as a part of the house
program of entertainment will be an
nounced within short while. The
general public will be invited to call
and form their own opinion of the
new instrument.

Journal.
Well, brother, from what we can
learn of Justice Hughes, he appears
to be acceptable to a great many
Progressives throughout the country
who could not support the can
didacy of man like Root, able man
but pronounced standpatter And
the standpatters and thousands of
progressive republicans as we'll
would greatly prefer Hughes to
Roosevelt, who is recognized as a
powerful factor to reckon with at
the coming convention. AS a repub-
lican (not a socialist) who has cas-
sumed to be a progressive in the
past we cannot see why all repub-
llcans could not unite on a man like
Hughes. Will the Journal man kind
ly get down to- brass tacks and point
out just what a progressive republi-
can would have to sacrifice in prin-
ciple in order to support Hughes can
didacy?

Gettysburg

OF the dead at Gettysburg, greatest
battle of the civil war, that were iden-
titled and buried in the National GENE
terry over one-third were New York

men New York had nearly one-third,

sets and Michigan, and the dead Of
the three together number S6S.
Among the killed were Brigadier Gen
eral Samuel K Zook of Hancock's Sec
ond corps and Brigadier General Ste
phen H. Weed.
Six New York generals were wound
ed at Gettysburg. Major General Dan
lei e. Sickles, in command Of the tenn
porary left wing on the second day,

wound received on the extreme front
