The hoop-drill entertainment under the auspices of the Methodist ladies society, was given at the opera-bouse last night and was a very entertaining and successful affair. The opening number was music by an orchestra, a recitation by Gene Hamilton and another by Albert Hamilton, nicely rendered by the little fellows; then came a song by two little girls Inez Danner and Bessie Hamilton in sweet voices; Miss Wade then recited in a very pleasing manner, and there was another piece by the orchestra; Mamie Hamilton then recited "Polly's 'Lament" in good style, which was followed by a song, "Crossing the Bridge" by a class of kindergartners, and the "tots" did well, as usual. The hoop-drill was gone through with by 16 young girls dressed in white and each carrying a hoop trimmed with pink ribbon and bow. This performance was excellent and no doubt the best of the kind ever given in Oskaloosa. The many evolutions were performed with the precision of veteran soldiers and gracefully, too.

The performers were loudly encored and responded with some short, graceful marches and counter marches. The girls all deserve much credit for their splendid work. Oysters, cake and coffee were served at the close of the drill. Thirty dollars were the receipts, of which about seventeen dollars will be netted. The ladies wish to thank Misses Wade and Oroke for their very efficient assistance in drilling the children and Miss Wade for her valuable help on the program.

They also return thanks to the girls the Junior League and those of the Junior Endeavor who did their best to make the drill a success, despite the inroads made upon their numbers by the mumps and the necessity of substituting until the day previous to the performance. The Ep worth League booth netted about $4 on the sale of pep-corn and taffy.

We just drop a hint to the many people that are flocking toOskaloosa to do their trading these days, that they wouldn't have to wait so long to be served if more of them would come on seme other day than Sat urday.

Come some other day if possible, bat come any how, tor we assure vou that you cannot find better prices anywhere, in any line handled here, than you can obtain in Oskaloosain these lat ter days.

The General Verdict of tne Peo ple: "There is some satisfaction in trading in Oskaloosa now. Yoa can get anything you want at such low prices. That Boston Store made quite a difference." C. F. Johnson, ran back to Chicago the first of the week to attend the Shetland pony stock exhibition and meet with the Shetland pony club.

He was elected a director of the slub. There are but two such clubs, there being one in Scotland, also. Mr. Johnson says the show was a good one, and by becoming a member of the organization he is entitled to enter stock at the annual exhibitions that are held at Chicago. Oskaloosa's Shetland pony farm will receive more attention from abroad than ever now, no doubt, since its proprietor is director of a national organization.

The newly elected president of the society, Annie Keeling, took her place last Friday. Her inaugural address was the occasion of hearty applause on the part of the members of the society.

On the negative Roy Mains and Add Housh. Dr. Comstock, who was visitor at the meeting, acted as judge and decided the debate an indecisive contest. Exercises by some girls from Miss Stevens' room and a class from Miss Wade's room formed an interesting part of the program. Declamations were given by Alice Nickum, Willi Johnson and Henry Johnson.

He had been hauling stalks and afterward sat down to read, when be felt several sharp twitches on his back, and thought perhaps something like paralysis affected the spot.

She was of frail constitution before her last sickness and having contracted a sudden cold was stricken down and was not able to survive. She suffered patiently and said a day or two before she died that she could not live.

She was conscious to the last, and a short time before she passed away, spoke of beautiful music she could bear, recognizing what she said was "Pas3 me not, Gentle Savieur," being sung by invisible voices. She thus Dassed away with this music sounding in her ears, with a bright, expectant hope of a heavenly home. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Mr. Crvslerof the M.
