Scrofula, a Vile Inheritance.

• • • •

Scrofula is the most obstinate of blood troubles, and is often the result of an inherited taint in the blood. 8. S. S* is the only remedy which goes deep enough to reach Scrofula; it forces out every trace of the disease, and cures the worst cased.

My son, Charlie, was afflicted from infancy with Scrofula, and he Buffered so that It wil impossible to dress him for thfoo years. His head and body were a mass of sores, and his pycBlght also became affected. No treatment was spared that we thought would relievo him, out he grew worse\\ until his condition wag* indeed pitiable. I had] almost despaired oflils ever being cured, when by tho advice of a friend we gave him 8. 8. 8. ISwift's Specific). A de­cided improvement was ine result, ana airar he had taken a dozen bottles, no one who knew of his former dreadful condition would have recognized him. All tho sores on bis body have healed, his skin Is perfectly clear and

. smooth, and he lias bfccfi restored to perfect health. Mrs. 8.8. Mabrt,

LONG MULE TRAIN. ;7

si 1 ; [Pocahontas Record.] '?>. The people of Pocahontas were treat­

ed to a sight that to them was more interesting than the parade given on the Fourth of July or by Barnum's cir­cus. About 10 o'clock a long train of mules came In sight and our people knew that Ware & Maney's railroad grading outfit had arrived from Blue Earth, Minn., to go to work on their twenty-five mile contract. The outfit consisted of fonty mule teams, all in fine condition, and a large quantity of grad­ing tools. They formed a camp In the northwest part of town and will be scattered along the line wherever sec­tions have not been let to other con­tractors. At this time there are nearly 200 teams at work and other outfits are expected from Blue Earth, so that inside of the next ten days 250 teams will be throwing dirt along this twenty-live mile section, and with continued good weather there will be no question but that Ware & Maney will complete their contract before winter closes in. This may be a bluff—yes, i t may.

The town was very new at that time. The railroad irons had been laid as far west as the big draw west of town and and tho depot had not yet been built and In fact there were but very few buijdings in the place. Slough grass, knee deep, was gently waving upon the business streets. Thirteen years have wrought great changes in Auburn. •

After a residence in this vicinity of over forty-six years, Mrs. L. A. Wood­ruff broke up her old home in Newton last week, and on Saturday left for Rockwell City with her daughter and

A NEW WOMAN. [J. S. Trigg in Rockford Register.] We saw a woman, a farmer's daugh­

ter, a few days since, seated on a sulky plow driving a team of three fine horses and doing as nice a job of plowing as we have seen done in many a day. do­ing her work in far better shape than was a man with a similar outfit in an adjoining field. "No business to be do­ing this sort of work." you say? Weil, we don't know about that. She might far better be driving that team and dfl­ing that nice plowing than fooling her time away on some love-Sick novel, or be pounding a piano when she had no more music in her make-up than an old goose, or be working green storks on yellow cardboard and calling it art ,or be living a useless, idle existence, primp­ing and posing to get some fellow to marry her. There's a whole lot of mush about modern ideas of woman and her sphere. If more of this healthful out­door work was done by American wom­en they would not have to hire wet-nurses for their babies and there would be more and healthier children raised. We know of a farmer to whom the Lord sent a whole lot of girls and no boys. He was fairly well to do, and three of the girls did not want to teach school, work in a millinery store and that sort, and the old man would not let them lay around and do nothing: so he made a deal with them to help him on the farm. and they milked the cows, fed the calves, took care of the- garden and or­chard, helped do the seeding, corn-plowing, haying, harvesting, and when we saw them they were none the less refined and lady-like because of so do­ing; and my, but what pretty, healthful girls they were—competent, resource­ful. energetic, and each one of them j had a nice young fellow who was wrestling with the problem of getting a farm and a home of his own, who found in these girls Just the right sort of a woman to help him do it . Woman may from choice do this sort of out-

objpet of ntuch interest. It scoops out fully 1,000 yards of dirt per day. One scoop full fills a dummy car, and these cars are run in sections of eight to a train down the hill half a mile, unload­ed and hauled back by teams. It is thought the Greene cut will keep the steam shovel, forty cars and about twenty men busy about forty days.

OTTUMWA—C. A. Majors is the name of a barber who, a week ago, en­tered the Model clothing store and asked to have a check for J10 on the Third National Bank of Sedalla, Mo., cashed. The man was identified by a clerk, F. P. Beer, who believed him to be all right, and the check was ac­cepted. It proved to be worthless and Majors was arrested' at Sigourney to answer for his offense.

MASON CITY—On the hew North­western line bridgeinen are now at work on the Lime creek bridge, four miles north of this city. The track lay­ers are busy at work and will reach the north county line in a few days. Upon the completion of the Lime Creek bridge the Calumus work will be taken up. This will take only a few days and then the big gang will come to this city to put in the Willow creek bridge.

BURLINGTON—Wh«-n old William Miller died early in September he left a peculiar will . In which he named Mr. A. M. Antrobus as trustee to apply the proceeds of his estate to such charitable purposes and institutions as he saw fit . The provisions of the will are not to be carried out without a protest and a con­test, for an heir l ias appealed, in the person of Mrs. llattir* Hopkins, claim­ing three-quarti ' i-s of the estate by vir­tue or articles of adoption in her favor.

SIOUX CITY—The frosts of the past few days have completely destroyed the squashes and otiier vegetables of l ike character that were left in the gar­dens in this section, states Desk Ser­geant Cox, of tho police station, who recently made a trip to the country. It is said that the leaves on the wil­lows are frozen while green, which is something very unusual and is an In­dian sign for a warm winter. The leaves are said to nearly every yeai turn brown before the frosts com­mence. A look at the numerous wil­lows on the rivt-i bank furnishes an in­teresting study upon this question.

BIG PROBLEM FOR AMERICA. Poultnoy BliieloW Tells Geographers

of Difficulties In Philippines. Berlin, Oct. 8.—At a recent ses­

sion of the international geographical congress and in the presence of a dis­tinguished audience, Including many colonial and other government officials, Poultney Rigelow discussed' "Colonial Administration In Different Parts of the World." The paper was received with much favor.

Mr. Bigelow said it had taken cen­turies of business and bloodshed to feach the state of comparative civili­zation now enjoyed by the world. We were just beginning to realize that what interested one interested all . and that in colonial maters the most impor­tant condition today was unity among the whites, whether English, Russian, French or German. Mr. Bigelow con­tinued :

"In the far east the United States has now become a rival of Europe through the occupation of Manila. Americans thus become next door neighbors to Hong Kong and are almost equally in­terested in the projected railway ter­minating at Kiao-Chou. Jn common with Germany, however, the United States has experitnee yet to purchase, and from observations made during the war I fear my country is learning her lesson at an extravagant price.

"The United States has odiciallycom­menced the government of a tropical empire under conditions which make it probable that the Americans will re­peat the blunders which the English­men e^rectei] a century ago. Much as the Filipinos disliked Spanish rule, they dislike Yankee rule even more. Nor is this to be wondered at. Methods suc­cessful against American Indians and against negroes are not found success­ful in the Philippines, nor do they at­tract a high-spirited race such as in­habits the Philippines.

"The curse of America today is that her politicians and newspapers stand in fear of the mob. Any one who dares to criticise the wisdom of mob inspired machinery is howled at as unpatriotic if not as a traitor. The war fever has gone to the brain of the American mob, especially that section of the mob which did not go to the war. Conse­quently the colonial operations of the Tnitcd States are marked by great haste in preparation, by

laws of this country so as to permit the purchase of • foreign-built freight-steamers, commonly known as tramps, for miscellaneous trans-oceanic busi­ness. These vessels could be built one-fourth cheaper abroad than in this country, and wherever owned they had proved very profitable. Within the last two years the practice of leasing such vessels by Americans, he said, had in­creased fourfold, and after paying a profit to the lessees they were netting their owners 20 and 25 per cent per an­num.

Mr. Neall announcer] himself as op­posed to a discriminating duty for the benefit of American-built ships, for the reason that he believed such a system would precipitate retaliatory measures on the part of other nations.

THE RETIREMENT OF LARRABEE. (.Spirit Lake Beacon.]

Governor Larrabee, chairman of the state board of control, makes public his intention to retire from the board at the close of his first term. May 1. This is unfortunate for the state. The gov­ernor was moved wholly by a sense of obligation to the state when he accepted the appointment. It is to be regretted that he is to retire from the board. He took up the work with grave apprehen­sions as to the wisdom of the law, but actual operation has convinced him of Its helpful character. Governor Larra­bee gives as a reason for retiring that he Is too old for public service. His age ijS 67 years. With large experience in business affairs, a thorough knowledge of institution Interests and a deter­mination to do all he possibly could to make the new system a success, the services of the cnairman have been of benefit Incalculable to the state. .

SUIT AGAINST IOWA CENTRAL. [Clear Lake Mirror.]

A new case on the docket of the Dis­trict court this term will be that of George A. Watts against the Iowa Cen­tral Railway Company. Mr. Watts shipped two carloads of cattle to Chi­cago Just two years ago last week when the Iowa Central furnished htm two short cars instead of the thirty-six-feet cars which are the only ones lit to ship cattle. Naturally he protested and ar­rangements were made so that he could make an exchange at Hamilton and transfer his stock to long cars. While he was doing this, the cattle being on a sidetrack, the train backed down with­out any warning and Mr. AVatts. who was carrying straw into the cars, re­ceived Injuries, especially to the hip, of quite a serious nature. No satisfac­tory arrangements could be made with the company or Its claim agent and Mr. Watts has Instituted suit for personal damages. :y '

John 3topped dickering long enough to shake hands with Hawk and Jeffries, In the course of which they Indulged in reference to political matters. At this point the runner put In his oar, turning forth a tirade against the administra­tion and howling for Aguinaldo. "That settles it," sung out John. "Pack up your traps and get out of this.

ALLISON ON HARLAN'S DEATH. :

Fx presses Deep ltegrct at Passing of the (Jreut statesman.

Dubuque, Oct. —Senator Allison said in regard to the death of ex-Sen­ator Harlan:

"Ex-Senator Harlan's death will be deeply deplored in this state. He has been actively identified with its growtl and development, in everything that makes it what it is today. He served the -state conspicuously in the 1'nited States senate during the most critical period of our history since the forma­tion of the constitution. He was recog­nized as one of i ts ablest debaters and wisest counselors. He was the . trusted friend and adviser of President Lincoln during the period of the civil war. as hi was later of President Grant. His in­tellectual strength and vigor made him a great force in the senate, as it did every place he was called upon to fill During his life and in his retirement he took a deep interest in public affairs, always sustaining the side that lie be­lieved would best subserve the public good. Few men of his generation or the last possessed greater intellectual strength or a stronger personality. His death will be deplored by a very wide circle of personal friends and by all the people of Iowa, and by students of po­lit ical history throughout our country. '
