tended a private hop at T. C. Heggs last
Saturday night.
Cream separators are all the rage now
and you can see two of tho best makes
at Boeger's store. They are a-money
maker for the farmer as butter fat is
worth 20 cents most .of the time.
Rev. C. C. Wilkins and wife are
rejoicing over the arrival of a fine boy
at their home last week. Dr. Landis
reports all doing well.
N. B. Eaves and wife are on the farm
"the last month as Mrs, Oscar Shields
has been sick and is not any better at
this time.
Pat Griffin and son made a visit at his
old home in Woodland last week.
J. A. Mcintosh was here last week in
the interest of the American Book Co.,
getting our school board and others to
adopt new books, which are all up to
date and approved by our best educa
tors.
Jake Switzer moved his bank last
week south of the post office where
they will be found ready for your busi
ness. He rented his store building to
Beatty Clothing Co. and will build a
new brick bank at once.
T. P. Edwards is able to use his arm
again and is very fortunate to get good
use of it again as it was broke in two
places in the forearm.
Rev. J. E. Beard delivered a very
interesting sermon last Sunday at the
Baptist church.
Mrs. Sam Palmer is not any better

week.
Our section foreman, W. B. Snyder,

"Joe ttrlnKs he "Wilt~ltke""farming- -better
than running an engine on the road at
$125 par month: he will get more work
and more sleep on the farm no doubt,
but railroad men as a rule do not like it
on the farm for it is so lonesome.
Miss Linnie Burkart is teaching the
Foland school this spring and Miss
Rosa will teach at the Diamond as* soon
as her school is out here in town which
will be in two weeks. The Burkarts
are very faithful teacher# and workers.
Mrs. Wise gave a temperance lecture,
here last Sunday in behalf of the W. C.
T. U. by whom she was called here. She
was a very forcible speaker and made a
good impression on all who heard her,
some saying it was the best temperance
lecture they ever heard. We hope the
ladies of the ,W. C. T. U. will keep up
the -good work, usually those who
should hear such lectures stay away.
Lucia B. Griffin will give an entertain
ment in Switzer's hall in about two
weeks. The Ladies' Aid Society is plan
ning to give us a treat as Miss Griffin is
a fine entertainer.
Switzerland has put out several books
on the evils of intemperance, free to her
people, in the last year, while our be
loved United States has for years been
in partnership with the hellions who
make and sell strong drink. Here they
give the government $1.10 a gallon on
whiskey and about that amount on beer
and other ruinous drinks while others
pay 25 a year license to sell it, gener
ally some worthless cusS who thereby
acknowledges that he is too lazy or has
-no ability to earn a living ,by some hon
orable business. This is the way our
government dbes it. Remember we are
the government and can change this.
Our town election went off quietly
and J. J. Davidson was elected mayor
again. He promised not to license a
pool hall, hop ale joint or anything of
the kind, so we hope things will be
better than in the past. Now if the
Hepburn bill was in force so we could
stop the sale aud shipping in of liquor,
We would have a better condition at
once, but our glorious courts decided it
would interfere with inter-sjbate com
merce to stop shipping jugs into Iowa.
Two-thirds of all crime is caused by in
temperance seventy-five per cent of all
paupers are drunkards eighty per cent
of suicides are from the same cause
forty-five per cent of lunatics come from
the excessive use of strong drink.
Every voter knows tha£ it is a great
curse and that he can Help drive it from
the land, but ninety per cent of the
voters have not sense enough to vote
the right way. This means most of you
who will read this.

Best Cough Medicine for Children.
When you buy a cough medicine for
small children you want one in which
you can place implicit confidence. You
want one that not only relieves but
cures. You want one that is unquestion
ably harmless. You want one that is
pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy meets all of these conditions.
There is nothing so good for the coughs
and colds incident to childhood. It is
also a certain preventive and cure for
croup, and there is no danger whatever
from whooping cough when it is given.
It has been used in many epidemics of
that disease with perfect success. For
sale by L. P. Van Werden.

The frieze of Parthenium at St. Louis
will be an object of interest to those in
terested in the fine arts. If we remem
ber correctly, in a recent number of THR
REPORTER you listed this Roman build
ing among the wonders to be seen there.
The Phidise age of sculpture will be
represented by this scene of Panthenaic
festivity. It must be remembered that
the Romans inclined more to great
architectural works than to pure sculp"
ture, and Roman sculptury is essen
tially decorative, a poaitive proof in
work itself that Phedias considered the
position of tho spectator. The frieze
being surmounted by the entablature
and this supported by columns made it
difficult to get light directly from the
side it therefore recieved only diffused
light from the side and below between
the columns and especially the light re
flected upward from the white pavement
of the colonnade.

by local applications, as'they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear There Is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness 1B caused by an Inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this
tribe is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deaf
jiess is the result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to ite normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an Inflamed condition Of the mucous surfaces. .:
We will give one hundred dollars for any case at
deafness (caused by catarrh)- that cannot be cured
by HaU's CatarrhCure. Send for circulars free.
