MOTHERS, GIVE HEED!
A Word Of Counsel From DR.. Hart
man, Whose Name Has Become
Known to Thousands of
Mothers.

Midwinter is here. The nights are
long and cold. The days are short
and changeable in temperature. Cold
creeps in at every crevice and
draughts occur in spite of the utmost
vigilance. The tireless patience
and sagacity of mother even, fails to
keep the household safe from climatic
diseases. Colds soon develop into
chronic catarrh. A cough rapidly
becomes consumption. La grippe
undermines the system dangerously.
Influenza leaves injuries to head and
throat, hard to remove. All these
things the mother strives in vain to
guard her household against. How
can she do it? First, get some Pe-ru-na

mans latest book on the climatic
diseases of winter. This book, in
plain and direct language, informs
the mother exactly what to do in all
of the liabilities and emergencies re-
sulting from wintry weather. Not
only will she be able to prevent dis.
eases, but she knows exactly how to
cure them. In case she is doubtful
on any point, if the book does not
explain it, she has only to write a
letter to DIR. Hartman at any time
and she will receive free answer as
quickly as possible. What UNTOLD

 On the first of February there was a change of ownership in the Rollln Trading company, J. George llilzinger retiring, Hon. R. R. Richardson and MT. T. A. Kelly assuming full control, with MT. Arthur Crepin as manager. The firm finds it advisable to open a branch store at Harshaw to meet the wants of large number of customers there, and has ordered a large, new stock of goods for that purpose:
 On the 30th of last month the youngest sister of Hon. k. R. Richard son, Mrs. OrriE D. Blakely, her two H.tlc boys and MT. and Mrs. Granville Cushing, arrived at I,ollin from Penn sylyania for visit, and will remain about two months, after which they will go to California and return east. MT. Rlchardson's father, an old gentle man of the ripe age of s2, intended to be one the party, but was not feeling well enough to start. He expects to come on alone little later.
 Citizen: Many of our citizens who were almost overwhelmed by the bril- liant msgniicence of Dr. Manuel II. Hernandez, are silently mourning his loss, together with somewhat de- pleted exchequers, owing to their guileless faith in the doctors promises to pay. The elegant medico was nn- gallant enough to sneak away be- tween the setting and the rising Of the sun on Thursday night, and leaves behind. Memories of long sllken m0ustache, a shiny plug hat, and flashing diamonds, glInting in the golden sunlight Of Tucson, are all that are left to console many m0urnful hearts.
 Tucson Star: The dedication cere- monies of the new cathedral were in- augurated Sunday morning by the movement of a grand procession from the old convent. This procession was composed of the prelates and included among others Archbishop Chapelle, Archbishop Salpointe, Bishop Dunne of Dallas, Texas, and Bishop Matz of Denver, Col. When the procession arrived at the entrance of the cathe- dral the ceremony of dedication took place, after which solemn pontitical high mass was celebrated by Arch bishop Chapelle. This was followed by sermon in English by Bishop Matz. His theme was "The Catholic Church is the Advance of Progress. 7 it was undoubtedly one Of tic finest sermons ever listened to in this city.

It Did : Grcat Deal Of Damage In Cedar
Rapids and Vicinity.
CEDAR BAPIDs, June 25.-A severe
wind, lightning and hail storm struck
this section Of the state. The storm
came up sosuddenly that people were
caught out in all parts of the city.
Tho cloud was low, of greenish color,
and when the rain began to fall it be-
came SO dark that objects could not be
distinguished across the street. The
water came down like waterspout,
flooding cellars and doing much dam
are. Prior to the storm the air was
sultry, with low barometer, all the in
dications pointing to cyclones. The
storm proves quite serious and the
losses are heavy. The smoke stack of
the street railway power house was
blown down and all cars are stopped.
Trees were uprooted in all parts of the
city and the ground is everywhere
strewn with trees and branches.
Many heavy plate glass windows were
broken by sheer force of wind, small
buildings were blown down and others
unroofed In some houses all the west
windows were blown fin. The storm
was heavier south, but nothing cyclon-
ic is reported. The damage to fruit
and rye will be heavy. Advices from
Marshalltown, Atlantic, Audubon,
Burlington and other places report
similar damage. --.

WAR IN EUROPE.

y (. J il 4 q .
LONDON, June 2l.-Turkey will with
draw from Thessaly. A satisfactory
adjustment has been reached by the
representatives Of the powers and the
porte. A treaty Of peace will be
signed, and Turkey will get slight
rcctihcation of frontier. The only
open question is the method of guar
antceing the indemnity. But this will
probably be secured by the powers
themselves. An alternative sugges-
ton is that q committee Of wealthy
Greeks residing in foreign countries
may be appointed to administer Greek
finance and to stand as security for
the payment Of the indemnity. The
amount OF the indemnity which Greece
will pay, it is believed, will be e5,000.-
600, the largest amount the Greeks
could pay. The news that this result
has been reached is received with gen
cral satisfaction in London, and will
tend to allay any special popular
hostility toward the Ottoman envoy at
the Jubilee festivities.

LATE SERMONS,

JIngoes.-We are all jlngoes In this
country, all but few female men.
and as q preacher, q citizen and man,
take my stand alongside of the lin
goes of this country.-Rev. Thomas
Dixon, Evangelist, New York City.
Authority.-The state exists for the
good of the individual, the family or
the institution, but it is the creature
Of the people, to which they owe obe-
dience simply because 1t is the high
er power.-Father Henry Brann, Cath
Ollie, New York City.
Cuba.-Cuba has as much reason for
rebelling as we had hundred years
ago. Have not the unhappy Cubans
as much reason to expect us to 60 100
miles to help them as we had to expect
Lafayette to come 5000 miles to help
us?-Rev. j. q. Wilson, Methodist, New
York City.
Readiustment.-Life needs to be ad-
iusted to the old eternal rhythm Of
the universe. We need to be quiet, Sc
rene expectant, and look at the divine
side OF life-the healthful side-and SO
come into sympathetic vibrations with
the harmonies of nature.-Rev. A. j.
Wells, Unitarian, San Francisco. Cal.
Happiness.-Too much time is taken
up in contemplation of the species OF
others enjoyment. If this time was
taken up in developing the means ct
enjoyment within the reach of all there
would be more happiness and content
ment in the world.-Rev. Charles H.
Parkhurst, Presbyterian, New York
City.
The Testaments.- THE Old Testament
was only an introduction to the New,

Gated and accumulated in the New.
Jonah preaching penance at Ninevah
yields to the Baptist on the Jordan,
Isaiah to Paul. David to the Virgin,

Success.-All men of attainments and

amples and experience had much to
do toward shaping the young life, yet
the chief things were personal power,
application, devotion and enthusiasm
to bring success-Rev. DR.. Rylance,
Episcopalian, New York City.
The Ideal Man.-One might say that
Job typifies the ideal of patience. No
greater example of submission to d.
vine authority, faith in the benevolence
of God and heroic patience in darkness
and alIliction ever has been found in
history. And, therefore, l say Job Is
my ideal man.-William ]. Cozzens-

large numbers of Japanese have made
Hawaii their home. If now the United

The general library building of the
State University of Iowa, located at

few days ago and in an hour the
accumulation of books that had been

fireman, Kirk Lecl, was killed by the
falling in of the roof. The library
was located in the third story Of the
old chapel building and the galleries
above. The physical laboratory of
the university was located in the first
floors and much valuable apparatus is
ruined. AS the state carries no insur-
on its public property, the institution
is complete loss, President Schaeffer,
says 800, 600 will cover the loss of such
property as can be replaced; but there
are many thousands of books that can
not be replaced. The Talbot collec.

Davenport dispatch: News is re.
ceived Of a double tragedy, in which
John Gugelheimer and his wife were
the victims. The couple reside about
six miles northeast of Daven port, their
two daughters constituting the other
members of the household. Death
was caused by poisoning, strychnine
being taken by each. Whether it was
murder or a mutual agreement to
commit suicide will never be known.
Gugelheimer is reported to have said
several times that when lie died his
wife would go too, which is the only
evidence favoring the murder theory.
The body of Gugelheimer was found
by the daughters, who attracted
several neighbors. A search was
made and the body of Mrs. Gugel-
helmet was found in the cellar. The
result OF the coroner's inquest was a
verdict to the effect that BOTH came to
their death by poisoning, the dose
being administered by the husband.
John Gngelheimer was So years Of
age. He hAd been an inmate Of Mt
Pleasant asylum several times, but

funct Globe Savings Bank, and ex-

acquitted of the charge of em]ezzlc-

More tea is afoat on the Pacific than
ever before at one time. Importers in
New York and other eastern cities
made large purchases in China and

tons of the new crop of tea have been
landed in America and 10000, 900
pounds are on the ocean between
Yokohama and Tacoma. The Canadian
line is also bringing heavy shipments.
1t is asserted that the impress
sion is now prevalent in the senate
even by the friends of Hawaiian an.
nexation that the treaty cannot be
ratified at the present session if there
is any such opposition as is promised.
Tho program now is that the treaty
will be reported from the COMMITTEES
and that after the tariff bill has been
passed it will be called up. The
senate will be asked If time for a
vote can be fixed, and upon the objec,
tions by the opponents of the treaty,
its friends will say they are content
to allow it to lie over until the next
session. It's believed that senators
who are now undecided may become
influenced favorably after mature
consideration and after finding Font
what the drift Of sentiment is in theft
