is denied to many unfortunates for whose
ailments Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
promptly helpful remedy. The dyspeptic,
the rheumatic, the nervous, persons
troubled with biliousness or chifls and

Sorry They Moved.

Letters keep coming back to Iowa
friends from the people who have Civ
EN- up homes and farms here to move
onto the boom lands in Arkansas, Tex
as and others states south of here
and they are letters that would not
have tendency to make the writers
popular i'm the section where they are
written either. They do not laud
the south as land flowing with milk
and honey. There are parts of it that
are all right, in their way, but that is
not the way of the Iowa man. When
he is comfortably circumstanced here,
even if he is not rich, he is well of
compared with what his circumstances
will be after six months in the land
of Dixie. The man that sticks to Iowa
may not win first money every time,
but he is sure of a position in the race
at least. We have no poor white trash
in this state.-Rural Life.

A Strange Phenomenon.

A current item of news in nearly all
the papers of late has been that all
through Nebraska, Kansas and South
Dakota there has been observed the
strange phenomenon of an upward rise
of moisture in the earth, in many plac-
es sufficient to start springs and streams
to flowing that for years have been dry.
A manifestation of the same REGULARITY
is noted here. Up i'm the cemetery
which is located on one of the highest
points of land i'm this vicinity, where
the soil, which is a compact sandy loan
and which has for over year been SO
dry that it has had to be all picked up
with pick, the moisture has come up
from below of late to such an extent
that at the depth of six feet the water
almost trickles into the excavation.
We have seen no explanation of this
very singular thing and have none to
