Rev. lleber Newton, OF New York.
speaking of the influence of the mind
on the body, among other things says:
Every physician knows the impor-
lance oil mental states in curative
processes. Even broken bone will
knit better under the influence Of a
happy mind. Cancer may he remov-
able only by a knife, but the plaster
afterward ;san easy mind. The patient
who does not expect to recover neu-
tralizes the efficacy OF the best drugs
Rouse the will and every drug gains
a heightened potency. Cholera germs
are most actual physical forces, but
they find no condition for action in
the man whose nerves are braced 10y
iearlessness, while they spawn with
fatal disease where the blood is en-
feebled bya degenerat nervous system,
itself emasculated by fear. Inlagina-
nation is well nigh omnipotent tonic.
Hope is a veritable elixirof life. Faith
is the most vital of vital forces. There
is "a dynamic power in an idea which
may well expel many IL form OF disease.
Thought is most ponderable agent in
our body

ALWAYS Left His Safe Omen.

New York Sun: 1.-The late ex-Con-
gresham 6. G. B. Walker OF Corning"
said a fellow townsman OF the dead poll
tician, although one of the most care
full of business men, never would permit
the safe in his residence, where he kept
valuable papers, money, and rich family
plate and jewelry, to be locked when he
was absent from home. Two or three
years ago. Dhile he was away, burglars
entered his residence and took from the
safe over 81, 600 worth of diamonds, none
of which was ever recovered. When it
was learned in Corning that the robbery
had been committed with the greatest
ease because the safe was unlocked, it
could not be understood how a man
OF the congressman strict busi-
ness methods could be so careless
and thOughtless in regard to the pro-
lection OF his household treasures, es-
pecially as many Of them, through assO-
citation and long family possession, had
a value to him much beyond their in
trinsic worth. mentioned the matter
to the congressman one day, and ex-
pressed my surprise at his carelessness,
ing that the fact of the safe being un-
locked on the night Of the robbery was
not the result OF carelessness or
thoughtlessness, and that it was left
open by his express order and direction.
"'When am home he said, 4 al
ways lock the safe and put the key
away. When go away from home 1t
is understood in my house that the safe
must not be locked. You may remem-
ber that when the WeilsbOrO bank was
robbed few years ago the cashier and
members of his family were treated
with great cruelty and violence by the
robbers because of their resisting the
demands for the keys to the vault and
safe. That set me to thinking, and one
day said TO my wife: We
have some things in that safe
which are valuable and very
dear to us. Now, it is only question
of time when some ruliian or ruffians
will come after them. If am at home,
the chances are that they will not get
them; but ! may be away at the time.
| II they come then and find that safe
| locked, they will hesitate at no per-
sonal violence toward you in their
| efforts to effect an entrance to it. All
| the precious relics and treasures in the
world would not recompense for the re-
suit of such treatment. Therefore, when
| am absent from home the safe must
not be locked. Then if robbers come
| they will secure their booty and retire
| without disturbing YOU.

The Farmers Insurance.

The tenth annual meeting and cleo
tion Of officers OF the Pottawatamie
County Mutual Farmers Insurance COM
pany will be held to-day in the parlors of
the Kiel hotel. The company has at pres
ent about eight hundred members, rep
resenting S2,OOO.0O0 worth of insured
property. During the year just
passed the total losses amounted
to only 81 800, and tins is
nearly double what it has been for
any previous year. 1t is the policy of
the company to draw money from the
bank to pay Il loss within ten days from
the time it occurs. and afterward levy
an assessment to pay it back. For the
last year the assessment amounted to
about u mills ron the dollar, but
is usually less than one mill, as this
has been an exceptionally severe year.
The territory covered by this company
embraces three counties, Pottawatta-
mie, Harrison and Mills. All farm
prrperty is insured against fire and
lightning. The property is assessed at
it's full value, and in case of loss two
thirds of the. assessed value is paid.
Much care is exercised in placing risks,
as the result shows. The company has
been very successful thus far, and the
members are we'll satisfied with its
workings.

The Grand Jury.

The grand jury yesterday returned
three more indictments. Two Of them
are against parties now in the county
Jail. One is Grant Dewitt, charged
with assault with intent to do bodily in
jury. The attack was made in Grove
township on the person of William Os-
Ter. The weapon used was a loaded
whip and the victim was severely
pounded. The other indicted party is
John Ealey, charged with larceny from
building. The stolen property, a ring
valued at $15, belonging to Lizzie A..
Hyer, was taken from the Egyptian res
taurant on or about the 2Sth OF Decem-
ber last.
There are several parties now con-
fined in the county Jail who have not

A Find of Coal.

Wild rumors were flying about last
night and meetings were hastily ar
ranged between j. Y. Fuller and cer-
tain other prominent citizens. 1t finally
leaked out that while Mr.. Fuller was on
his way home he mad accidentally fallen
over the artistic stone bridge that spans
Lake Woodbury. at the corner of First
avenue and Pearl. Mr.. Fuller never
does anything by halves, and SO when
he fell in, went straight to the bottom.
When he reached the surface again he
had in his grasp number of specimens
of splendid genuine Centreville coal
Naturally, Mr.. Fuller was wildly ex-
cited over the discovery, and generously
confided the secret to the above-men-
toned prominent citizens. 1t took con-
siderable effort to convince Mr.. Fuller
that the coal had been dumped into the
lake last fall by Cashier Harmon, in II
vain endeavor to make crossing for
First avenue pedestrians.
