CASTOR IA For Infants and Children, Tin Kind You Have Always Bought $P8iPfiaa^^ BOOSTS" MISSOURI O. L. WEBB, FORMER OTTUMWAN, WRITES INTERESTINGLY ABOUT SISTER STATE Compares His Forme'r Home With His Present Residence—Commends Carthage for Various Advantages— Speaks Well of Crops of State. Short winters, two crops of almost everything every season and many modern conveniences offered by Car-] thage, Mo., and vicinity are the inter esting contents of a letter written the Courier by O. L. Webb, formerly a resident of Wapello county. Mr. Webb has lived in Missouri only a short time, but sufficiently long to acquire a vast knowledge of the re-j sources of that state, as the following letter will indicate: "I thought I would give you a de scription of this part of Missouri. We have been here a short time over a year and have ajready become ac quainted with the beauties and advan tages it offers to residents. The cli mate Is ideal. Our winters are short, only lasting about six weeks, com mencing about the holidays and con tinuing until the middle of February. I planted potatoes March 4 this year. You can raise two crops of almost every kind of vegetable' and we have nice lettuce this late in the season. This is not a farming country, at least not so extensively as Iowa.although the state Is productive of excellent vege tables and in quantities, too. Mining is the principal occupation, it paying so much better than farming. Although th6 land is very fertile and will raise good corn and wheat, Btill Homes Are Beautiful. "Here in Carthage there are some of the most beautiful homes in all Mis souri. For churches and schools, Car thage can hardly be beat by any towns its size in the state. They are just completing a high school here at a oost of $100,000, sawed and dressed limestone being the material used. The court house cost $75,000, and it Is of the same material. The town is connected by inter-urban roads to Jop lin. Mo., and Galena, Kans. The dis tance is twenty miles and several good sized towns are passed, en route. The fare for the trip is a cent and one-half a mile, making transportation quick, as well as cheap. Iowa has us best ed when it comes to blue grass pas tures. I have thought of the rural route carriers out of Ottumwa quite ofteu and pity them on account of the bad roads. Here we have gravel roads upon which you can walk after the hardest rain, without any danger of getting In the mud. I have no de sire to go back to Iowa to live be cause of the vast difference in the win ters and in the roads. I was told be fore I came here that I would have to keep still about politics, but I find it just the reverse, as the election last fall was strictly republican, except Governor Folk. The voters here are Just as patriotic as they are in Iowa." FAIRFIELD CHURCH ADVERTISES Rev. Hicks and Singer, Mr. Gilmore, Have Big Audiences. Fairfield, Nov. 4.—The series of revival meetings now in pro gress at the First Methodist Episcopal church are unique in that they are being advertised bv means of a systematic service. Rev. Ira Hicks, the southern evangelist, and Mr. Gilmore, his singer, are assisting the pastor, Rev. Thomas Osborn in conducting the meetings. Some time before the series commenced big dis play advertisements appeared in the local papers announcing the approach of the meetings. When the meetings commenced the copy was changed and the. words, "Get Right With God," stared every newspaper reader in the face. Large placards with this word ing were printed and posted promin ently in business houses and other public places. At the bottom of these appeared the announcement of the meetings. Smaller cards with the same impressive inscription are distributed to pedestrians. Special numbers of the series are effectively advertised v.-ith dodgers and newspaper advertisements and that results are being gotten is shown that Rev. Hicks is preaching to full houses every night, a number have been converted, and there is a great promise of many more. Rev. William Sunday was to have commenced a series of meetings in Fairfield last June, but failed to keep his engagement on account of sickness and the Methodists, who have just fin ished remodeling the interior of their church are first using it for this re vival. I The First Postmaster. The recent removal of the Fair field postoffice from the old building southeast of the square to the new building on Broad way erected by Frank S. Shriner. and leased to the federal government for at term of ten years In advance, brings to the minds of the old settlers tlie stories of the first postoffice in Fair field, which was in Thomas Dickey's hat. Dickey, who also kept the first hotel in Fairfield, was the first post master. Upon payment of the moder ate fee of twenty-five cents for each letter, the settlers were able to pro cure their mall. It is not known whether Dickey was ever regularly appointed by the postoffice department or whether he held office merely through the suffrance of the settlers whom he served. This was about the year 1839.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 4.—The in terstate commerce commission again demonstrated its helplessness yester day by rendering a decision which it cannot enforce in a case that has been dragging along for over ten years. The ineffectiveness of the decision empha sizes anew the importance of Presi dent Roosevelt's recommendation that congress should vest in some commis sion the power of determining, upon complaint, whether a given rate is reasonable and of placing in Immediate effect a rate that is reasonable. Several other decisions were handed down by the-commission yesterday, all of them important, but none of them bringing out more sharply the fact that the hands of the commission are tied hard and fast when it is called upon to handle the rate question, than the one in the case brought by the Cattle Raisers' association of Texas and the Chicago Live Stock exchange against the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad ln what are known as the Chicago live stock terminal charge AQ cap Renews Old Decision. The proceedings against the rail road were started In June 1904, when the company made an arbitrary rate of $2 a car upon each carload of live stock delivered at the stockyards. Prior to that date the company deliv ered live stock at the yards without additional terminal charges and the Chicago Live Stock exchange and cat tle shippers determined to fight the railroad before the interstate commis sion. A victory was won over the railroad company, but it was an empty one.The commission decided that the $2 term inal charge was unreasonable, and held that any charge in excess of $1 would be unreasonable, but the United States supreme court remanded the case back to the commission to deter mine whether the terminal rates had been reduced since 1896. Now the commission renews its de cision that a $2 terminal charge is un reasonable, leaving the case in view of the commission's in ability to enforce its rulings, in the same status it was.over ten years ago. In all cases where the cost of delivery in Chicago has been increased by the trackage charge paid by the railroads to the stockyards company the com mission decides that the railroads are entitled to make a terminal charge of not to exceed $1 a car. It takes more than milk and water to make the meekness of a Mcses. J- 1 -v v.. £3^fc§£a£*&" 1 i. E. SCASE CO.. exclusive agents for Ottumwa TEMPTING THE APPETITE is a business like proper cooking.
