HERE IT IS IN A NUTSHELL!
The Copeland and Shepard Humanitarian Idea in Great Favor With the Commu-

Avery Small Sum a Month the Only Charge for Treatment and Medicines.
Anv Dseosc

These are times whoa every dollar expended
Tor any purpose should go to the furthcst en-
tent possible.

OF the Copeland ana Shepard system become
wildly apparent.
The most skillful medical trcntmcnt. with

for only II trivial sum a month.
But one Zee Is charged for tho best Of treat
ment, FOR medicines, otc., VIII CHI covers tho

We ask all those who require the services OF

fully. Don't waste your money on uncertain

Yesterday Rev, Henry De Long found a
pleasant country homs for little girl who
was taken OF the streets by the mission
some weeks ago, and who figured promi-
nently IN u very sad case that was mentioned
IN The BEE at the time. When first taken
IN the child had nothing on but a thin calico
dress and was the very picture of despair.
Yesterday when seen by n reporter she was
comfortably and neatly clothed and appar-
emily happy. II is needless TO saw what
would have been the final result IN this case
nut for the interest that was taken in her
welfare by the mission.
MIR. belong when seen said the credit
for supplying this child and hundreds OF
Others with comfortable apparel belongs TO
The good people of Council Bluffs. who have
responded to the MISSIONS call for clothing
Tor the poor. Nearly every one has articles
OF clothing ABOUT the house which may be
good, ana yet of no benefit TO the owner. III

'sant and send It TO the mission they will

DIES MONIES, Sept. l6.-tSpecial Telegram
to The BEE The state central committee
OF the citizens prohibition party met here
today with b. f. Wright of Charles City as
chairman to put another head on the
ticket in place of Mir. Coffin. DIR. s. n. Eel
lows of Manchester was asked to take the
nomination, but refused to do so. 1t is also
stated that Presiding Elder Emory Miller
was asked to head the ticket and declined.
The committee finally selected Rev. Bennett
Mitchell of Crawford county. Mitchell is an
elderly man, was once a Methodist minister,
but is too feeble and slow to make q strong
campaign fight. The committee expects
that the straight third party prohibitionists
will endorse Mitchell's candidacy.
