An Old Soldiers Recommendation,

In the late war l was a soldier in the
First Maryland Volunteers, Company
G. During my term of service I con-
tracted chronic diarrhoea. Since then
l have used great amount of medi-
cine, but when 1 found any that would
give me relief it would injure my stom-
ach. until Chamberlain's Collie, Chole-
ra and Diarrhea Remedy was brought
to my notice. I used it and will say it
is the only remedy that gave me per-
manent relief and no bad results follow.
take pleasure in recommending this
preparation to all of my old comrades,
who, while giving their services to
their country, contracted this dreadful
disease as did, from eating unwhole-
some and uncooked food. Yours truly,

Ed. Register-The parties who en-.
tered the cellar of Adolph Lott and

and pay damages, or be called to an

Several sheep have lately been kill
ed by dogs south of town. The crop
of worthless ours is undiminished.
Sheep-raising will never be made a
success in this or any other country so
long as 50 many worthless dogs are al
lowed to run loose. If our Legislature.
while endeavoring to preserve the
game of the State, had considered this
matter and taken some steps to reduce
the number of dogs in the State, and
thereby increase the number of sheep,
a far greater blessing would have been
conferred on the people. We had a
great song and dance a few years ago
about good roads which resulted in
favor of the man with money as against
the man with nothing but muscle as
capital. In other words. the poll or
road-tax was made two dollars cash,
or three days work. To evade the in
justice of this law (Which is manifest),
A pays the Road Overseer two dollars
cash, for which B works two days;
then B pays two dollars cash for which
A gives two days work on the road. l
don't say this has been reduced to
fine art, but it might be. Now, if, In
stead of raising this revenue for road
purposes from poll-tax entirely, or al
most so, an equal amount for road pur-
poses was raised from a tax on dogs,
the effect would be to reduce the num-
Der of worthless dogs to a wonderful
extent. Now, l don't mean by this
that all dogs are vicious or worthless;
but those owning valuable dogs could
afford to pay good tax in order to
rid the country of lot of worthless
ones.

It Is Coming Early.

Prof ]. R. Sage, director of the
Iowa weather and crop service, be-
lieves, if conditions which have been
noticeable for the past six months
continue, there will be an early and
s we're wine. The present storm is
in line with the theory and he thinks
wiuter has arrived about two weeks
ahead of schedule time and will prob
ably remain.
The summer has been wet and Di-
rector Sage says there has been a
marked tendency for storms to trend
south. This has brought the cold
weather further south than usual in
the fall and is a sign of stormy
winter. The wet summer and fall
have left the ground moist, which in
itself inclines the weather 20 much
snow. For these reasons Mr.. Sage
says he rather expects a cold winter
with storms and mach snow.

An Open Letter to the supertntend-
ent of Schools. Howard County.

Dear Sir: Having seen no notice in
the papers of the county in regard to
the change of school books in Howard
Co. and wishing to know by whose
orders or authority we are compelled
to throw away books that l believe
80 per cent of the scholars of Howard
Co., especially in the country districts
do not thoroughly understand. For
instance take our Government by
Macy. The young man who UNDER
stands that thoroughly is very well
fitted indeed for the duties of citizen
ship. Then take the Grammar School
Geography by Swinton; there has
been no very important change in the
political or natural divisions of the
earth's surface since that was adopted
three years ago and yet we are COM
PEELED to discard them for books that
about the only thing they have to re-
commend above the others is, that
they have few newer cuts and put
more money in the pockets of the
trust.
The most objection l have to the
present change is, that after one of
the older scholars is through with the
higher grade of books his younger
brother or sister that might take
them is obliged to throw them away
and buy others. l have seven child
rem going to school. When county
uniformity was adopted three years
ago bought them complete sets of
the different common school books
and now as my older scholars get
through with these my younger could
very we'll take them up at Il saving to
me OF So Is in cash. a no small item
III these times.
Another hardship is the fact that
many of these high priced books were
bought not more than year ago. 10
be consistent they had ought to have
ordered all the books to be changed,
as they were all adopted at the same
time, but presume they are follow
ing the old methods of bloodrletting
the doctors used to follow, they will
let the victim recuperate little be-
fore bleeding again.
There is splendid chance for some
of our Legislators to earn the ever
lasting gratitude of the people of Iowa
by getting law enacted enabling the
state to print and sell its own text
books at cost, thereby relieving us
from the enormous extortions Of the
American book trust that like Sin.
bad's old man of the sea has jumped
on the shoulders of the people of Iowa
and clings there with the grip Of the
devil fish. Yours truly,

NATIONAL CONGRESS.
Sixteenth Annual Session of the OrGanl-
Eation Opened Mt Indianapolis.

Sixteenth Annual Session of the Organl-
ration Opened at indianapolis.
indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 11.-The six
tcenth annual session of the Farmers
national congress began at the state
house Tuesday morning with about 500
delegates in attendance. Many more
who are interested i'll the matters to be
discussed by the congress are present.
The body is a non-political organiza-
ton, and it's sessions are open to the
public.
Col. B. T. Clayton, of Iowa, president
of the organization, was in the chair.
The morning session was devoted en-
tirely to addresses. Mayor Taggart
welcomed the congress on behalf of the
city, j. G. Offett, of Trafalgar, on be-
half of the farmers of the state, and Gov.
Matthews upon behalf of the state. Col.
Clayton delivered the presidents adj
dress and in the course of it gave the
keynote for discussion in the following
paragraph:
During the last fiscal year of the opera
tons of the former tariff law the agricul-
tural imports on 20 articles the like of
which we produce north and south amount
ed TO Sbo,SU4, 446; during the flrSt calendar
year of the operation of the present law
the importation, of the same articles
amounted to s135,06S,S6O, or an increase
over the former law of. S6S, 1864. 314 In the ex-
portation of farm products we find the
discrepancy still greater in 81 chief articles
produced on the farm. During the fiscal
year 1894 we exported farm products to
the amount of $907,946,945, while during the
calendar year 1895 there were exports in
the same products to the amount of $751.-
S33937, u decrease of $156. 900. Adding the
gain in imports to the loss in exports. and
the American farmers lose in one year
1924, S37,322 If these figures be true, a
vigorous demonstration to these sel1ed-
ules should so up, and we should demand
that the agricultural department invests
gate each item. Should protection be the
policy of the government, then it should
be applied to farm products, and the agri
cultural department should recommend to
the general government such changes in
tariff schedules as will furnish equal pro-
lection to the products of the farm"

The Deestrick skule.

This old and once very popular
play will be put on the boards in
Cresco, Thanksgiving night. 1t is
the country surrounding, that for the
past two years, the ladies organized
as Oak Lawn Cemetery improvement
Association have been very success
fully carrying on the work of beauti-
flying the place where they, and their
friends must repose when life's fitful
scenes are DER. In this commend
able work they have expended several
hundred dollars in enclosing the
grounds with a beautiful and substan-
tial iron fence, in extending the
ground, in grading walks through
them,in planting shrubbery and flowers
and putting down a we'll that the
plants and shrubs may be properly
irrigated, and in keeping the grounds
clean from grass and weeds. All of
this has cost money, and to keep it in
proper condition so that we or those
whom we love may be finally laid to
rest in bed of roses instead Of among
thorns, blambles and weeds, addition
al funds are needed, or the work must
be abandoned. Every person takes
pride in Oak Lawn cemetery, and it's
costly monuments, and in the tidy
appearance of every thing about the
cemetery. This entertainment is
given to provide the ladies with the
requisite means to continue the good
work they have conducted with such
eminent ability, and productive Of
such splendid results. The Opera
House should be filled to overlooking
on Thanksgiving night. The object
OF the entertainment is so important
that even the admission fee if placed
at 81 90 each, that the hall should be
packed full. MIR. Robert Thomson
has kindly taken the matter in hand
to help the enterprising ladies in the
matter, and has enlisted the liberal
and well-to-do people of Cresco in the
work, several of whom subscribed
for from ten to twenty-five tickets
each at one dollar ticket. A like
Libel atty in proportion to means and
and ability will place the association
in position to maintain the present
beautiful condition theraabouts. Let
everyone do all in their power to
make the matter a success. Don't
carp at the Deeistrick Skeule, but
consider the object and forget every
thing else-eNcept to come down
gracefully and abundantly from the
store with which you have been
blessed.

DEBORAH Bank Failure.

DEBORAH, Iowa, Nov. 1O-The First
National Bank of this city, Of which
James H. Easton is president, closed
its doors today and is in the hands of
the United States bank examiner
pending further examination.
The First National Bank of Deco
rah has been the most persistent
shouter for the gold standard in the
country, using it's position to intimi-
date those indebted to it by threats
of proceedings to collect it's dues at
once for fear of flood of silver in
case of Bryan's election. 1t is alto
gether probable that its depositors
would prefer silver dollars to the ire
stored confidence" the First National
was laboriog for. The fact is there
are but few national bankers but
merit term in the penitentiary for
the threats and intimidation used to-
ward the voters and against Bryan
and those of DEBORAH are among
them.
