OSKALOOSA - * * IOWA: —The world sorrows with the appall ing loss of the Victoria, of the British nary. —Did the Sherman silver bill cause gold to take a westward shoot from Europe? —Sell a horse, if necessary, and go to the World's Fair. Don't cheat your self of that great instructive pleasure. —Now is a good time to get into the band wagon of the good, sound cur rency procession. It is headed for solid prosperity for every one. —Globe-Democrat: “The man who framed the Sherman law says that it ought to be repealed, and his judgment in the matter is that of an expert." —Congressman Ilayes has gone to the Maine woods in search of health- worn out in hunting otlices for friends who will little care whether the worry killed or not. —Sam Clark speaks at Hedrick, and Major Lacey at Fremont. That will be two splendid speeches let loose July 4, in close neighborhoods. They msy hear each other! —There will be a great foreign de mand for American grain this year, and it will bring in foreign cash to buy it, and make money just that much more plenty. —Secretary Chase sat s the lowa dairymen carried off the honors iu the line exhibit tests. There were 100 en tries, and the average score was 96, over four points ahead of New York and Wisconsin exhibitors, who were next. —Only 2,000,000 pounds of wool was sold in the principal markets of the country last week, against H,000,000 pounds during the same period last year. General apprehension of change in values by reason of the tariff legis lation proposed is at the bottom. —Fort Dodge is proposing to erect a monument to Webster county's sol dier dead, on the public square, at a cost of $3,000 or $4,000.

Major Studer is about the only Ameri can consul who did not succumb to the fevers of that country, and he has him self attended the funerals of nearly all the English consuls sent there. He was formerly a member of the Fifteenth lowa Infantry, and an excellent officer in every way. —For the 12 months ending June 1 our exports amounted to $848,373,845 a decrease of 174,010,700 as compared with those of the preceding 12 months. On the other hand, we imported $996,- 901,287, as against 8828,848,119 show ing an increase of $106,053,168. These vast differences of selling less and buy ing more than ever, are to be regretted deeply. The National Tribune well says: “Xatually, this state of things cannot continue, if we are going to keep any money at all in the country. There is one sovereign remedy. Buy less of foreign and more of home prod ucts. l)o not cripple the McKinley bill, but make it more effective.” A WOIIAN MEMBER. Gov. Boies has Idled the Judge Wright vacancy on the lowa Soldiers’ Monu ment Commission by the appointment of Mrs. Cora Weed, of Muscatine, who becomes also one of the executive com mittee. Tjik Hekai.d has already ex pressed the hope that this would be done, because of its eminent and fitting propriety. During the preliminary work of securing legislative support for the erec tion of the monument Mrs. Weed was the member for the Second district of the Woman's auxiliary, and apart from Hon. 1). X. ltichardson no one else ren dered such devoted and winning service for this memento of lowa valor as she. With all a woman's single-hearted en thusiasm and loyalty, joined with a trained and broad judgment, Mrs. Weed threw herself into the task of iniluen cing and educating public sentiment, gave of her own time and ability freely, and wrought with a zeal that was more noteworthy from the fact that it was wholly unselfish, no member of her own family being included in the lists of the lowa soldiery, or as the possible recip ient of the honor thus to be bestowed. Gov. Boies' recognition of Mrs. Weed, whose signal service was well known to him, is creditable alike to his fairness and her worth, and will be to the com mission au accession that will strength en ita hands in the future labor of plan ning and perfecting this most noble memento that the State of lowa has ever or may ever erect within its borders. Vandalism.—Benjamin Andrews re sides just north of the new Whittier school building, bis house fronting on £ avenue. When the grading was done on this street a cut of four feet or more was made at this property which en abled Mr. Andrews to make a neat ter race from the yard to the walk, which had been sodded and beautified at con siderable expense. Saturday night some person or persons tore the sod away from the terrace and scattered it along the street and in the yard, to the almost complete destruction of the terrace.

The Penn college party which left home Monday via the Central & North western, was a fortunate one, as through the kindness of Agent Shinkle a chair car was looked up in waiting for them at Marshalltown, and after all were seated the other seats were filled from among the number of those who were standing in other cars. They were crowded. On arriviug Tuesday morning Prof. Van Steenderen, wife and babe took a train just about to start for Racine. They will visit the Fair next week. Pres. Roßenberger and family are with friends; so also are Prof .and Mrs. Jones and baby. E. 11. White and wife are near the grounds. Rev. Strout and wife and Supt. Scott and Harold are pleas antly located in good rooms at No. 4014 Cottage Grove avenue (at 50 cents each per day), the address sent us by Com missioner J. W. Jarnagin last week. Mrs. Jarnagin and sister, Miss Akins, were found at the lowa school exhibit, which they have in tine appearance in the southwest gallery of the Liberal Arts building. Mr. Jarnagin returns to-day from Cedar Falls. Each noon with lunch baskets or boxes we rally at the lowa building, where have been seen Ralph, Mary and John Burnside, Miss Mary L. Loring and aunt, Miss Leoni McMillan, Miss Clara Snowden and friend, of LeMars, J. J. Hamilton, editor Daily News, of Des Moines, and many school men and womeu of the state. This noon our genial sheriff came in. Prof. Hadley and family are here on their way west ward and home to (iskaloosa.

The illumination of the Great Basin by thousands of incandes cent lights near the edge of the water and thousands more in rows about the Administration, the Liberal Arts and the Agricultural buildings and the l’eristyle, and by about a thousand arc lights elevated on posts, with the search lights thrown on the Columbian foun tain and at intervals thrown on the sev eral buildings and their groups of stat uary, together with the playing of the two gorgeous electrical fountains, pre sented a view few eyes will ever again behold. Gondolas, electric yachts and steam yachts with their decorations, varied colored lights and merry crowds plied about in the Basin and bands in their elevated stands added sweet mu sic. We can realize how one who was here but a day or two would say the Expo sition is a fai'ure, as such an one failed to see it. To the observer it is a mam moth success as far as he is concerned. With the increasing attendance it will be a success financially. While there has been great exaggeration as to high rates, we advise the visitor to bring a box or basket with lunch for several days. Home-made is best. Thousands go about with their little bag or box and one has plenty of company at the noon lunch. I)on't check baggage, ltev. Strout has not yet found one of his trunks.

The New York City Celebrates at Jackson Park. Chicago, Jane 28. —Brooklyn is the first city to have a ''day” at the world’s fair grounds. Besides former residents of the City of Churches who now live in Chicago, there were in attendance over 2,000 excursionists from New York’s big suburb. The formal exercises were held in Music hall, and consisted of song and oratory. M. L. Towns, of Brooklyn, presided, and addresses were made by the chairman, Hon. Thomas B. Bryan, of Chicago, Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, Mayor Boody, St. Clair Mc- Kelway and Murat Halstead, all of Brooklyn. The Arion society of Brook lyn furnished the music. After the exer cises an informal reception to Brooklyn ladies was given by M rs. J. S. T. Stran ahan, member of the New York state board of woman managers, in the New York state building. Later all the Brooklynites were entertained at the Empire state headquarters by the state board and at 6 o’clock a banquet was given in honor of Mayor Boody. A feature of the day was the publication on the grounds of a world’s fair issue of the Brooklyn Eagle, which was printed in Machinery hall and sold to the visitors at the same time in the afternoon as they are in the habit of getting their papers at home. The edition was edited, set up and printed on the world’s fair grounds and contained a complete ac count of Brooklyn day at the fair. FIRED ON THE POLICE. Riot* 0»«r Herman Kleetioaa—Taking of the Second Ballot* Reaulte la Demoa at rat lona by the Sociallata. Bebi.ix, June 28 —The taking of the second ballots has been accompanied by riotous socialist demonstrations In several cities. In Mannheim, where a social-democrat was unseated by a national liberal, the social-democrats tried to march in disorderly bodies through the street*. They ignored the orders of the police to disperse and fired on the police with revolvers when the attempt was made to enforce the orders. Mounted police, who were called eventually, charged and scat-’ tered the mobs. Several policemen were »-hot and many socialists were trampled or cut. Numerous arrests have been made. In Sehweitzengen, Weiheim, Neu-Stettin, similar encoun ters have taken place. Nobody has been killed, but many have been wounded and arrested in each of these cities. Fort Scott.

The State Industrial School at Eldora. What It Is and What It Is Doing for the Incorrigible Boys. A Readable Sketch by one of the Boys. LOCATION AND BUILDINGS. The Boys’ Industrial School is situated on a beautiful tract of farm land, some 720 acres, one mile east and a quarter west of the city of Eldora. The loca tion of the buildings is about the cen ter of the farm. There are 13 build ings. .The main building, a brick structure, 70x140 feet, four stories high, contains three dining rooms in which the boys eat their meals, two kitchens in which all the cooking is done by the boys, laundry, store rooms, hospital rooms, bakery, private rooms for the female help, offices and private rooms for the superintendent, assistant super intendent and matron. There are six family buildings, three stories high and a basement. In the basement is a wash room and play room in which the boys spend their leisure time in cold or rainy weather. On the first floor is a school room and a private room for the man and wife who preside over the family. On the second and third lloors are dormitories, clothes presses and water closets. These build ings are furnished to accommodate from HO to 75 boys each. Two shop buildings, one a brick struc ture 40x100 feet contains a tailor shop, tin shop, store room and seven private rooms for employes, and the other, a frame building contains a shoe shop, carpenter shop and broom shop. The barn is a frame structure 60x120 feet, with a basement furnished with stalls for 22 head of horses and 60 head of cattle. The grain bins are above, also the farming tools and implements and a mow holding 200 tons of hay. There is a garden house in which all the seeds, fruits, potatoes and vegeta bles are stored for future use. THE ARRIVAL OK A NEW BOY. The arrival of a new boy is not an exl raordinary occurrence, as one arrives every two or three days, but things hap -1 pen to that boy the outside world knows nothing of. When a new boy arrives 1 he is taken charge of by the superin -1 tendent, who searches him and takes . from him any money, tobacco, knives 1 and cigars that he may have. He is then 1 taken to the “surplus" where he stays until some time later in the day, when he is taken from the “surplus" by an 1 ollicer, who takes him to the tailor shop, tits him out with a suit of state clothes, then to the shoe shop, gives him a pair of shoes that would lit Jumbo, provid ing Jumbo's feet were small enough, and then takes him to the bath-house where his hair is clipped off short and he is instructed to use plenty of soap and water. After iinlshing his bath he is put under a shower bath of cold water that makes him think he has struck the coldest region this side of the Arctic circle. He then dresses him self in the clothes furnished him by the ofticer, and is then put on the “surplus", once more. He is hardly on the sur plus yard before a crowd of boys begin to gather round him (he was not allowed near the boys before he was bathed). As soon as a boy joins the crowd he is plied with the following questions: “What's your name?” “Where did you come from V" “What did you do to get sent here ?” “II ow old are you ?” “I)o you know anybody in school V" and numerous other questions. The new boy does not like to be pestered with so many different questions (and every question asked not less than fifteen times;, and he soon begins to show it by telling some of the boys it is none of their business, and there his trouble begins. He is not long in meeting an other boy who probably says, “Say, kid, what’s your name?" The answer of the boy would most likely be, “None of your darned business.” (Anyhow, that is the answer he got from the boy I have in mind). “Now, lookie here; you don't want to get so funny about it.” “What’ll you do if I get funny about it?” “I'll show you what I’ll do about it; just come down to the out-house.” (That’s where the boys settle all of their troubles with one another.) We will follow them down there and see what hapi>ens to the new boy. We find them in the out-house, in the midst of a crowd of boys, eager to see how the fight will terminate. “Now do you want to see what I’ll do ?” The new boy is puzzled; but finally gets up enough courage to say, “Yes; I want to see what you’ll do.” “All right; here goes.” “liiff ! ’ “Bail!” It is hard to tell how the light would have ended had not the surplus mana ger blown his whistle and wished those two boys that were fighting to come up on the steps. The two pugilists came up, and a sorry looking couple they were. One got about as much as the other; the new boy with a bloody nose, the other with a black eye. We will leave them in the hands of the officer who called them up. Suffice it to say that justice was done both—both got “strapped” for that bout. What I have said about the arrival of a new boy and what happens to him will apply in near ly every case. We will now follow this new boy that I have reference to through his stay in the school. He was in the school some thing over four yeats. His first two years were not very profitable for him, as he lost his badges. (For the benefit of the readers of The Herald who do not know what a badge is, I will briefly explain. A record is kept of the boy’s actions. If he does something wrong a report of the thing he did is given his family manager, or the man who pre sides over his family. The family man ager then makes a record of the offence and how many credits are taken from the boy’s monthly account; at the end of each month the credits marked against the boy are summed up and sub tracted from 100 credits and the balance is reserved and called a badge. The number of credits required for the dif ferent badges are as follows: 75 for first four; 85 for second four; 90 for next three, and 100 for last or 12th badge. If a boy has twelve badges he is ready to be released by the trustees if they see fit.) He lost nearly as fast as he made them. But he finally settled down to business; he began making his badges, was given a trustworthy position in the school, released by the trustees and received an honorable discharge. FOOD AND CLOTHING. The clothing furnished the boys is neat and comfortable. Their every-day winter clothes are the following: Jeans pants and vests, heavy woolen coats, hickory shirts and cotton flannel under clothes. Their every-day summer wear is overalls, light, but durable coats, and hickory shirts. When cold weather sets in the boys are furnished with warm winter caps, but these are taken up as soon as the warm weather comes, and put away for the next winter, and the summer hats are given out. The boys do not suffer from cold as they are well provided with good, warm shoes and 'stockings, and the boys who work out of doors iu the winter are furnished with overcoats, overshoes and mittens. How many boys are there in the state of lowa who have no homes, or if they have their parents are too poor to clothe them comfortably, who are knocked about the world, half the time no place to sleep? I would suggest to those boys that they could find no better home than to go there. But if they go they mußt not think that it is all play and uo work, nor all work and no play, and that they will have a “snap" as they call it, because they will not. They will have the rules to obey the same as the other boys, go to school half a day and work half a day. The food is plenteous in quantity and wholesome in quality. For breakfast the boys have gravy, po tatoes, bread, coffee, and sometimes cooked fruit or molasses; for dinner they have potatoes, rice pudding and meat, that is, pudding one day and meat the next, vegetables or green fruit,corn or wheat bread and water; for supper they have potato soup,molasses or fruit, bread and water, and cake on Thursday. Their Sunday dinner consists of beans cooked with pork, cooked raisins,some times butter, bread and tea; and their Sunday supper consists of pie and cake. The boys have a “turkey dinner” on Thanksgiving and Christmas and are allowed to converse at the table—some thing they are not permitted to do but twice in the year. TREATMENT. The treatment of the boys is every thing that could be expected from those in charge of them. Some boys natural ly mean or incorrigible have to be brought to terms by severe treatment. The ofticers are not permitted to “box” a boy about the ears or kick him; but when a boy has committed a punish able offense he is taken and “strapped”, either by his family manager or the superintendent. But aside from that the boys are treated with kindness and everything tried to be made as easy as possible. The ollicers play with them their games of foot ball, marbles, etc., (that is, ollicers that can play.) Some boys are treated by the officers for whom they work with taffy-pulls, candy, dates or something of that sort, and of every thing that the officer does they try the hardest to make everything as pleasant and homelike for the boys as possible. OCCUPATION OF THE BOYS. Every boy's time is occupied in some way or other; he is either working on a force that goes out and tends to the potatoes, garden stuff, corn, sorghum cane, etc., or he goes to school and tills his own farm, his brain, so that it will produce for him more as time rolls by; some work on the “team job”, they plow the corn, break the soil, haul in the crops and garden stuff, and bring the coal and other things that may be in town, out to the school; some work in the dining halls, washing the dishes, cleaning the tables and scrubbing the lloors; somein the kitchens cooking the meals and putting up the fruit; some in the dormitories making the beds and cleaning up the building; while others are working at the barn, cleaning it out, cleaning up the barnyard and feeding and milking the stock. In the shoe shop some fifteen boys are at work cobbling, making shoes foi the boys and for the girls who are at Mitchelville. In the tailor shop you can hear the hum of the machines and the boys busily at work making clothes for their fellow inmates and themselves. THE SCHOOLING The boys are graded according to their standing in studies into ten grades, which are arranged as any of our graded schools. The principal and nine teach ers have the school in charge and every boy is compelled to go to school four hours each day and work four hours. Four grades go to school in the morn ing while the other six do the forenoon work, then the six grades go to school in the afternoon while the forenoon grades do the work. Their studies range with the grade they are in, from the grade studying bookkeeping,arithmetic, practical grammar and business corres pondence, down to the grade learning their A. B. C's. Globes, maps, charts for the little boys, books, slates, pens, pencils and in fact everything that is needed to run a first class school, are furnished the boys free. recreation. Each boy has some time for recreation each day. Some play ball, others marbles, some do nothing while others go and hunt up their chums and have a private chat. When trustees meeting draws near, a crowd of boys are select ed by the music teacher, who gives them pieces, dialogues and songs to learn, with which they are to entertain the trustees, ofiicers and boys. Sometimes the boys are taken to town when there is a show in the Opera House at Eldora, and have a pleasant time. Saturday afternoon is given the boys. Some of them have a match game of base ball in the pasture, and sometimes ball nines come from towns near by to play them and they generally leave with sober faces at the thought of being beaten by the “Industrial School” nine. They come expecting to gain an easy victory, but most always get beaten. Sometimes they get hold of a nine that is too much for them, but they never give up without struggling manfully. Each family is provided with a set of croquet and croquet grounds to be used by the boys. As hard a name as the “Industrial School” is given by some people, it keeps on doing wonderful work for the state of lowa. It is a great school. In conclusion 1 would say to the readers of The Herald, go and visit the school and see for yourselves. You will feel amply repaid for your time and trouble. F. o. A Card. There is probably more than one hundred thousand dollars on deposit in the banks in Mahaska county, arawing little or no interest. From experience in negotiating loans, I am satisfied that this money can all be loaned on excel lent real estate security, at seven per cent, semi-annual interest, free of ex pense to the lender. If, therefore, the leader of this card desires either to lend or borrow, on the terms stated, you are cordially invited to take advantage of the Loan Exchange, established in con nection with McMillen’s Law Office. I carefully examine the abstracts of title and attach my opinion as an attorney, that the title is clear; and take every precaution essential to a conservative )usiness. In no case will I negotiate a loan, unless I personally examine the security, and believe that it is ample. I also can negotiate eastern monev at six per cent interest, where three thou sand dollars or more aae desired.

Children Oryfor 9>lt£h#r*f OistoHis HOW WE GROW. Business Prosjterity in our City— The Huber <£ Kalbach Wholesale Hardware House. A BIT OF HISTORY. On examination of the World's Fair Columbian souvenir tickets one linds them coutersigned by A. F. Seeberger, treasurer. This gentleman, who has for so many years held a high place in the business and political world, hori zoned only by the ever lengthening boundaries of Chicago, furnishes the starting point in this history. Along in the early fifties Mr. S., who was then selling nails by the pound in the room which now forms the west half of Hu ber & Kalbach Co.’s main sales room, sought for an efficient clerk, and found him. Charles Huber, a small German lad was this clerk. We are informed that Charles was at once made master of the broom and stove black uud, should the occasion demand it, we are satislied the gentleman would not now hesitate to spend a few minutes at his lirst duties as a clerk. About '62 or ’3 Mr. Seeberger sold out to Cary Cooj>er, Charles Huber remaining a clerk in the old store. About this time the lirst express agency of Oskaloosa, which was managed by John 11. Warren, was trans ferred to Cary Cooper’s store and came under the care of Charles Huber. In the spring of ‘73 W. 11. Kalbach, now secretary and treasurer of the present company, began clerking for Mr. Coop er, Mr. Huber buying out the store of Watts & Stafford in the fall of the same. Later on Joe Huber, who had also clerked for Cary Cooper, became associated with his brother Charleß and continued with him until about 1882, the lirm doing business under the name of Charles Huber & Brother, in the building on High avenue west now oc cupied by Haw & Mcl’herrin. W. 11. Kalbach ' had in the meantime been gaining the knowledge of business and hardware which was to prove such a factor in the development of the busi ness as it is to-day. In 1879 Mr. Cooper sold out to Wm. 11. Todd, and W. 11. Kalbach relinquishing his position iu the store became cashier of the New Sharon bank. In 1885, Mr. Huber, who had made a success of his business ven ture, proffered his friend and business companion of former years a share in the labors and protits of his business This Mr. Kalbach accepted, and the co partnership then formed was continued until Jan. 1, 1891, when the business was incorporated, Mr. Huber being elected president, and W. H. Kalbach, secretary and treasurer. At the time the above copartnership was formed the business was still in the old house where Mr. Huber began business for himself; but it was soon moved to its present location, Huber A Kalbach hav ing bought out the Knapp A Spalding Co., who had begun business here in 1880 and now moved to Sioux City. Until the year 188 H the business of the firm was of a retail nature. At this time, having moved into the I. M. B. Soc. building, where room was found for a larger store, they began a whole sale trade, which has proven highly successful. The growth of the busi ness from year to year has been the re sult of comtant effort and good busi ness management, and is as gratifying to the house as it is to the community where they spend their money. In Decemlier of 1892 the I. M. B. Soc. began the erection of a building to the west of the one formerly occupied and in less than six months time the build ing was completed, the stock being placed and the business continuing un interrupted. The Huber & Kalbach Co., occupy the entire building, with the exception of three office suits on the second tloor, occupied by the I. M. B. Soc., Cowan & Hambleton, real estate, and Bolton & McCoy, attorneys. The actual tloor space occupied by the hard ware, including a large wareroom to the rear of the main building, is 25,800 square feet. All the conveniences that a twentieth century wholesale trade could demand have been supplied. A very noticeable convenience is the open business office in the center of the sales room. Besides the members of the firm there are employed in this house Mr. Yreeland head clerk; E. 11. Norris, as sistant cashier; Christine Shinnick, bookkeeper; W. 11. Seevers, shipping clerk; 11. Van Rhee. an, clerk; S. 11. Johnson and Charles Beach, assistants; S. Ilays.stenographci and billing clerk; S. 11. Miles and John R. Baer, traveling salesmen. Among the many conveni ences of the new room may be men tioned the traveling loader, saw cabinet, telephone closet, electric elevator and stationery closet. Economy of space* has been made a special study, and the end attained has proven highly satisfac tory. In the changing and rearranging of the store not one day was lost, which fact sj>eaks much for i!.e builder, Mr. Hadley. So far as was possible the work was given to h one men, which is a guarantee of excellence. The handling of carriages, phtetons and the like is a new branch of the business which the firm has recently added, and with a movement toward success that is most gratifying. They have this season received over five car loads of caniagesand the larger part of them have been sold. The room ou the second tloor is devoted to the car riage stock, and it makes a splendid sales and storeroom. The firm has one the most elegant business houses in the west, and here’s hoping for their suc cess and prosperity. THE IO WA HOG. Atul lowa Men Talk About It. Des Moines Capital: The lowa Swine Breeders’ association closed its semi-annual meeting last evening with a banquet at Evans’ cafe. The banquet was given by the lowa Home stead, and about 100 were present. The banquet was a well gotten up affair. After the tables had teen cleared Pres ident D. L. Howard called the guests to order and presented Editor Henry Wallace as toast master. He first call ed upon D. P. McCracken of Illinois, who read an able address on the “Hog Men of lowa.” He indulged in con siderable wit and worked in puns in great shape frequently raising a laugh. J. B. Harnett of Boone responded to the toast, “Town Lots vs. Swine Hus bandry.” lie argued that town lots are the result of successful swine industry. Judge George G. Wright was next called upon to respond to the toast, “What I Know About Farming.” He cracked some jokes at the expense of Captain Albert Head, Senator B. B.
