LAST SAILINCS
 FROM DAWSON
 ARE ANNOUNCED
lSpec-al to The Citizenl

 DAWSON, '. r, Sept. After the steamer Canadian leaves port here for Fairbanks tomorrow, there will be but three more sailings for lower river points from Dawson be fore the close of navigation. This announcement has been made from local White Pass headquarters. The last boat to leave Dawson for the lower river will be the steamer Yu- kon, sailing from here for Fairbanks on or about September 20.
 Practically all freight for lower river points, including Fairbanks and Nenana, has been cleaned up. Many heavy commodity shipments, as well the construction of the Alaska rail road, have gone through. There is, however, little freight left, but this will be all cleaned up with the late shipments made to the lower river by this route.
 At the local office Of the White Pass X Yukon Route it was stated today that passengers expecting to catch the last boat for the lower river should leave Seattle not later than September 15 and little earli- CT if possible. It is believed here that the river will close late, but ev- cry precaution is being taken to get the various boats into winter guar ters before the heavy slush ice starts running For this reason all who are thinking of travelling are urged to move with all speed possible.
 The last sailings from Dawson and Whitehorse for upper Yukon service will be from October l to 10. No one can be certain however, of mak ing connections with boats leaving from these points after the first of the month.

INSURANCE OF
 FIGHTING MEN
 IS CONSIDERED
LAssOcIated rrossO

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. z.-The administration soldiers and sailors insur- ance bill was taken up by the house this afternoon, and ad- ministration leaders have de termined to bring about a speedy passage of this mca- sure. The bill is designed to enable the government to car ry insurance on the lives of its fighting men on land and sea.
 This method will eliminate to a large extent the big pen sion bills that otherwise would inevitably follow the war.
 No material changes ill the bill as drafted by the admin istration are expected, though there may be some OppoSl- ton to the optional insurance feature. This provision, which gives the soldier or sailor a chance to buy addl- tional insurance from the gov crnrnent at a cheap rate, will probably be opposed by pri- vate insurance companies.

Head-on Collision Between the knight
Automobile and Buick Going
in Opposite Direetion.--Both
Running at Good Speed.

Elmer knight, living on oskaloosa
r. Esd. 3, was seriously njured in an
automobile accident, which occurred
three and one quarter miles east of
Sigourney, yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Knights right Leg was fractured be-
low the knee, four ribs were broken,
and he was injured severely Internal!
~. He is not expected TO live as a
result of his injuries. Mrs. Knight
and Mr.. and Mrs. L. M. iDilley, also
in the car; were badly bruised and cut.
The Oskaioosa party was returning
to Oskaioosa from an overland trip
to Davenport, and were speeding up
a steep hill near Sigourney, driving
on the left side of the road. At the
crest of the hill, they met another
car, a large Buick carrying nine peo-
pie, coming from the west, also trav-
cling at a good rate of speed. The
Dilley car was turne to the right side
of the road and at he same time, the
other car turned. Both cars crashed
together, moving swiftly
The occupants of the Buick car were
from Illinois and were considerable
shaken up in the crash. One women's
nose was cut OFF. The nose was re-
placed, being sewed back in place.
Aside from this injury the Illinois
party escaped serious injury. -
The reason the local tourists were
driving on the left side of the road,
was because tho road had been graded
and only tone path had been made
through the freshly turned soil.
Oskaloosa's injured people returned
home on last evenings Rock Island
train and were taken to their homes
in the city ambulance.

OLD ovERcoAT.

/ Old oyercoat! Old hand-me-down!
Come back from your vacation,
For old Jack Frost has come to town
To freeze the, whole creation.
The mercury has hit the skids--
There's skating on the river
And iee-cream pants and summer lids
Would make snowman SILVER.
Il say, old raglan, worn and frayed,
Come back and do your duty
You echo of a tailor-made-
You counterfeit of beauty.
If you were black or gray or blue,
/ swear that I've forgotten,
And what was wooden once, when new,
Has strangely changed to cotton.
Your frazzled elbow needs patch
There's hair-oil on your collar
Not many of your buttons match,
But new ones cost a dollar.
And there are many things to me.
Much sweeter than the, SAVIOR
OF camphor balls. IT'S plain to see
Why moths detest that flavor.
Let's frisk your pockets, oyercoat-
OF course its only folly
Well, look at this! A ,fiye-buck note
A moth-balled v, by golly! tEts
Let old Jack Frost come back TO town
And start his frigid furry
Old overcoat, old hand-me-dow
Old raglan, we, should worry.

REPORT ON TYPHOID
DR.. BOYD BLAMEs WELL WATER
FOR OUTBREAK.

! Following the adjournment of the
council session Monday evening the
members convened as Board o.
Health in order to receive the report
Of Or. Mark F. Boyd of Iowa City.
regarding the recent cases of typhoid
fever in oskaloosa. His report was
a technical and complete survey of
the subject and at the finish, he made
some commendable suggestions and
recommendation regarding future
practice as prevention of typhoid
cases.
The conclusions and advice of DR..
Boyd was as follows;
I'm conclusion would recommend
to you as a Board of Health, First,
that since the hygienic condition of
your public water supply is so closely
watched, and satisfactorily supervised
by your health officer. that the people
of Oskaloosa be urged to consume
this water in preference to that from
shallow wells within the city, the
water from the majority of which is
of doubtful hygienic quality
Second, that Section so of the
Rules and Regulations of the Oska
loosa Board of Health abolishing
privies on premises accessible to the
public sewer be vigorously enforced.
'Since Oslaloosa has. given promi-
nent attention to all matters of pub
lie health and has taken steps in adj
vance of other cities and towns in
the state for its protection, and has
for some time made special endeavor
to employ as health officer a physi-
clan having special qualifications for
this position, feel that further rec
concentrations relative to the control
and prevention of typhoid fever are
not needed. but can best be given /,
to the Board by your Health Of
ficer.'
1t will be remembered that it was
DR.. Boyd who put the present depart
ment OF Health in 0skaloosa on its
present working basis and ever since
his residence here as the Health Of
ficer a few years ago, he has taken /
a keen interest in the welfare of Os- /
kaloosa as city and has watched
its growth and development with sat
isfaction and pleasure.
He refers most kindly to the work .
and assistance of DR.. X, l.. Johnston,
the Acting Health Physician, and /
bespeaks for him the cooperation of
all those who desire the continued
health and prosperity of Oskaloosa
as city of home-loying people.
