Mil ler, state t»ank examiner tells the Fort Dodge Messenger that so far as lowa is concerned the tight money market is caused purely by sentiment. There never was more money in lowa than there is to day, and with present crop prospects the state is as solid as a rock. Money is tight simply because jteople are saying so. As soon as confidence is restored in the cities where it has been unsettled, and the sensational head lines disappear from the newspapers, the banks or lowa can loan all of the money the state has any need for.

He is a close observer of affairs and a good talker, fn reply to the reporter's questions be said in substance: Oskaloosa is a live town; it always was a live town, but it is more than commonly so this year. Iff course, yoq know Oskaloosa has no through line of railroads, and that has always worked to its disadvantage, but it has kept right on growing and our citizens think it is one of the cities of lowa that does credit to the state. There has never beeu a year in its his tory when there was mere going on in the way of private and public improve menu than the present year. We are putting down a large amount of street paving and are doing it with brick. There is a lane number of dwelling houses in process of construction. Business is generally fairly good. I can see no difference between this year and former years. If there is any business difficulty anywhere, as we see from the newspapers these is, it has not been felt in Oakaloosa, and the people of our town era not alarmed about anything and have no reason to be, but are going right along quietly and prospering^."

Ik you are going to have ice cream for July 4th place your orders early with Asher & Underwood, and avoid the rush that will otherwise occur. Let Them Romp. —‘Don’t shut up your house lest the sun should fade your carpets, nor your heart lest a merry laugh should shake down some of the musty old cobwebs there. If you want to ruin your sons, let them think that all mirth and social enjoyment must be left on the threshold without when they come home. Once a home re garded as only a place to eat, drink and sleep in, the work is begun that ends in disappointment. Young folks must have fun and relaxation somewhere. If they don t find it at their own hearth stone, it will be sought at other less profitable places. Therefore let the fire burn brightly at night, and make the homestead delightful with all these little arts that parents so perfectly under stand FouiPhi at WkstCknteil—Mahas ka (’enter Sabbath School will have a celebration at the school house on the 4th, Rev. D. A. Wickizer to make the morning address and Dr. Lindley will speak in the afternoon, with exercises by the children. All invited. Sun Spots.— Prof. Holden, of the Lick Observatory. says that there is a veiy large aud interesting group of spots on the suu visible just now, which any body can see with the naked eye, with the help of a hit of smoked glass. This large group of spots has been attracting the attention of the astronomers for some days. Several of them think that it is the large spot of a year a o broken up, hut most, of them hold that they are due to some new and extraordinaiy con vulsion on the sun's surface. Sun spots h tve never before appeared so suddenly or on so large a scale. Nothing was seen of them when the sun was under close observation recently, during the total eclipse, hut the corona,as observed by Prof Schaeberle in South America, showed by the play of its rose colored (lames, it is said, that the sun s atmos phere was undergoing extraordinary changes, ami that tremendous convul sions of some sin t were in progress. Mattison & S«.s have Hammocks in endless variety. By A Great MA.ioun v —Thostate ment attributed to John Wunamaker that he considered a one inch advert ise ment in a country newspaper more ef fective than one hundred thousand cir culars received a remarkable illustra tion when Secretary McDonald, of the Cortland, (Me ) Voting Yen's Christian Association, stood up at a meeting of the organization and stated that he was curious to know what method of ad vertising reached the most people. He had circulated several thousand little dodgers giving notice of the meeting, amt lie requested those who had seen them and been moved to come by that mean .to rise. The hall was packed with iKx>ple, and of the entire number only fifteen arose. Then Mr. McDon ald asked those to rise who had been influenced to coiue by reading the notices in the newspapers, and the vast majority of the audience stood upon its feet. All But Us.—Oskaloosa people will have to spend the 4th with neighboring friends. All around us are to he great celebrations in keeping with the Co lumbian Fourth, and this city has been levied upon heavily forspeaking timber and has easily been able to f«*ot the bill. Nothing is on foot for Oskaloosa, and the people who stay at home to take care of things will have a quiet day. As already announced, Major Lacey is the orator of the day at Fremont; J. I). Guthrie at Bose Hill; Cres Atwater at Beacon; Liston McMilleu at Martins hurg; Hon. Sara Clark, of Keokuk at Hedrick; Judge Blanchard at New Sharon; Rev. I. P. Teter at Alhia. At Muchakinock they will celebrate, and innearly everyneighboitiood in the coun ty and vicinity preparations are being made to do honor to the day royally. There will be no lack of places to go, and no lack of pleasure after you get there. Telescope Valises, just the thing for your World's Fair trip, at Matt Ison & Son’s. To Fair Goers. — The traffic to the World's Fair for the i*ast three weeks has been very large, hut reports indi cate that many who might go now, are needlessly postponing the trp, forget ting that trasportation facilities are limited. Unless some who say, “We’ll go in August or September,” can he in duced to go now while they can he car ried satisfactorily, all will suffer the discomforts and delays usual under such circumstances, and perhaps many will he unable to get there at all, for lack of transportation facilities. Per sons who might make the trp now should do so; it is important to the rail roads, to them, and to their neighbors whocannot go until later. The railroads have Hlicieutly transported all passen gers, hut they will he unable to carry ail who seem to he depending upon being taken in the fall. The fair is now com plete, and accommodations in Chicago are ample and reasonable. A Correction. —Saturday’s Ottum wa Press contained an article concern ing the Seevers Manufacturing Co., of lliis city, in which was said: “It is now fully decided to remove the Seevers Manufacturing Works that were prac ti<-ally built up here and have flourish ed in < iskaloosa for years past, to Cres ton, and Mr. Thos. Seevers went to Chi cago last evening to make arrangements with the C. H. & Q. company for trans portation of the machinery and effects. This factory employs about 45 men, builds bridges as a specialty, though several revolving swiugs have been turned out lately,and found ready sale. C'reston, it is understood, gives Mr. Seevers fifteen acres of land, and a bonus of over 85,000 to move his plant to that city, and he has agreed to move there sometime this summer.” This company will not remove from this city nor has such a plan been consider ed. iu an interview Mr. Seevers said to a Herald reporter; “For a number of years we have been doing a great deal of work In the neighborhood of Creston, and the business association of that city has been asking me for a long time to start a branch shop there. They asked me to make a proposition which I did. The terms were fifteen acres of ground and 88,000. A letter recently received from the city states that the ground has been practically secured and a great part of the bonus. As to the establishment of the branch busi ness no definite steps have been taken. A committee of Creaton gentlemen paid us a visit to see what we were manu facturing and what we could manu facture In case of the establishment. Creaton is a town with very few estab lishments and they are after more. Our plant was not the only establish mentin this city which was visited by the Creaton committee.” It appears tyt the Creaton people are after some big manufacturing plant and have raised this inducement to any company THE HERALD: OSKALOOSA. MAHASKA COUNTY. IOWA. THURSDAY. JUNE 29. 1893. Will CELEBUATK.-At Dixon’s Grove, Scott township, the Fourth will be duly observed. An interesting program has been arranged, with E. F.

We can suit you both in goods: and prices. See us and be No trouble to show our goods. Wm. Matt won & Son, South Side. Press Seance.— Dr. C. 11. G. Stam ford was at home Wednesday afternoon in a special entertainment to represent atives of the city press and a fevr friends. Prof. I*. 11. McEwen, who is an expert in magic and the black art, entertained the guests by some marvel ous slight of hand tricks, following which Dr. Stamford gave an exhibition of his mesmeric powers, w'hich are cer tainly beyond the ordinary. The doc tor represents an electrical healing company, and also gives instruction in hypnotism. Dan Davis, who is a stu dent under the gentleman, gave an ex hibition of his influence over a captive will. Prof. McEwen, the doctor’s com panion, is an artist in his line, and a gentleman with whom it is a pleasure to talk, a native of Scotland. He has been practicing magic since he was seven years old, and has great profi ciency. Their evening entertainments are attracting large audiences. Many Trunks.— Mattison A Son, the South Side harness men, have just received a car load of trunks. They are wonderfully cheap. See them. Ills Honor, Mayor G. B. McFall has just purchased through Hawkins & Garretson Co. agents at this place, a new Upright Grand Mehlin piano, one of the tinest instruments ever brought to this city and the lirstof the kind ever sold here. It contains the same plate and scale used in the three cornered Brands giving it all the volume aud sweetness of tone for which they are noted,without occupying the room ofa common sized parlor. The above tirm feel justly elated in being able to furn ish our good jieople with such high grade instruments at prices that can not l»e bettered in any of the large cities. It was a question with Jhem, when branching out this year on a large scale with as good a music store as could he found in the state, whether or no it would he appreciated and patron ized Butliciently to pay; hut the selling of four line pianos within the past mouth with a tine trade in organs and other goods should covince them that they struck the key note of success. Ferry.— Report of Riverside School, East Des Moines Township, for the month ending June 23, 1893: Number enrolled 14; average daily attendance 13.5; number not absent 7; those not ab sent were Alma and Edith Schultz, Bertha, Lulu and James Patrick, Char ley and Nellie Mattix. Winnie Lockwood, Teacher. They Will Come.— Those who have been postponing their trip to Chicago on account of the exi>ected lowering of passenger rates inay he disappointed till after August 1. There is an almost absolute certainty that the current rates will rein-in in force up to that date. The Western Passenger association has the strongest iron clad agreement ever drawn up by a passenger association, which is to remain in force to August I. It would he ruinous for any of the western roads to break this agreement. A curious fact came to light in this de mand for lower rates, and that is a pro test by the retail dealers of lowa against the lowering of the rates. They fear that thousands of dollars would he spent in Chicago that ought to bespent in the retail stores in lowa, that their custom ers would be harder to please upon their return and would not he satisfied with the stock from which to select goods iu the future, that it would materially aid the driving away of a great deal of trade. After August 1, look out for low rates, and then for the crowds. The lau'iil Markets. Rutter coming iu slow at cts. Eggs only moderate supply at 10 cts.

How It Was Done.—A few days ago a private hank at Fairfield, man aged by Wells & Garretson, suspended payment, promising to resume. Their suspension provoked no runs on the other banks and we shall h t the Ledger tell the remainder of the story as follows: “Messrs. Wells & Garretson have kept faith wit h their depositors, with all their creditors. Wednesday their doors were opened for transaction of business, and they have paid over their counters every claim of whatever nature, dollar for (hollar. They will continue so to do until the last farthing of their obliga tions is discharged, and then they will close their hooks and retire from busi ness in the usual way, without loss to one of their patrons and with credit to themselves. There has been no renewal of public coutidence in Fairfield and Jefferson county—it was never dis turbed, never shaken. Those wise, pru dent and conservative business meth ods which have put Jefferson county's credit just a little higher than that of her sisters, and have given her a repu tation just a little better than that of any county in lowa, have stood her in good stead again.” WHENEVER I M« Hood's Sartape rhls now I want to bow 4 Thank You ’ % I was badlyaffeoted with ■r mm* and RorwfwUi ftwrra, covering almost the whole of one side of dBBMwWHBh my lace, asaiiy to the ***** top of my head.

Sampson was leader Monday afternoon, with the subject, “School Discipline.” A number of old settlers and other citizens went to Penn chapel Tuesday morning to hear Mrs. T. G. Phillips ad dress the normal on “Mahaska County's First School.” Mrs. Phillips was the first teacher in the county, and this school was in what is now Spring Creek township east of the city. The educa tional appliances were most crude and the difficulties many, but the courage and ability and great good nature ot the teacher triumphed over them all, and made of that primitive school a w'Orthy and useful institution from which came inspiration and strength to many. Mrs. Phillips’ address was rem iniscent and historic, and was listened to with keen and enjoyable interest throughout. The enrollment increases and great interest is shown in all classes. Tuesday afternoon Mary A. Blood, of Chicago, discussed the topic “Help fulness a Duty.” Wednesday morning 284 teachers had enrolled for normal work, and though the attendance is less than last year the interest was never more lively and earnest.
