OF all the Joys that fate can flx.
This makes the heart elate:
To hear the bell at half-past six
And not get up till eight.
-Chicago Record

A man who neglects his health is sailing
his craft of life in dangerous seas. He
cannot too soon awaken to the fact that he
is imperiling his most precious endow-
uent. All the wealth in the world, all the
power IN the world, all the pleasure in the
world, all the love and poetry and music
and nobility and beauty are but dust in the
mouth of the man who has lost his health.
Keeping healthy means looking after the
disorders that ninety-nine men in hum
bred neglect. You cannot get the average,
everyday man to believe that indigestion
or biliousness or costiveness or headache
Or loss of sleep or appetite, or shakiness in
the morning and dullness through the day
amount to mulch anyway. He will "pooh,
pooh" at you, until some morning he
wakes, up and finds himself sick abed.
Then he will send for doctor and find out
to his surprise that all these disorders have
been but the danger signals of big malady
that has robbed him of his health, possibly
forever. 1t may be consumption or nerv-
Gus prostration or malaria or rheumatism
or some blood or skin disease. It matters
not, they all have their inception in the
same neglected disorders. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes the ap.,
petite keen, the digestion perfect, the liver
active, the blood pure, the nerves steady
and gives sound and refreshing sleep. It
is the great blood-maker and hesh-builder.
1t cures 9S per cent of all cases of con-
sumption. In fact bronchial, throat and
lung affections generally yield to it. Med
icine stores sell it.

late aud invigofate the stomach, liver and
bowels. BY all medicine dealers.

A SENSATION ENDED.
Marriage License Issued to Charles
Swank and Divorced Wife
in nrshalltOwn.

County Clerk Bullock issued mar
rage license in Marshalltown to Charles
Swank and his former wife, Bertha
Swanll. This is the end of most SEN
sational story. About year ago
Swank accused his wife and DR.. E. S.
Burroughs of undue intimacy, and the
story as published had the doctor filled
with q discharge from a shotgun.
Swanll commenced suit for $4,000, and
owing to DR.. Burroughs standing it
produced great sensation. Aboat the
time for the suit to be tried Burroughs
brought counter charge against
Swank of SANDER, and Swank at once
dismissed his case. Then Mrs. Swank
sued for divorce, which was allowed:
DR.. Burroughs friends are elated over
this last step, claiming it proves beyond
doubt the truth of their theory of black
mail

THE SCHOOL LEVY.
State Superintendent Barrett Advises
Educational boards Not TO Allow
the Funds to Accumulate.

The state uperintendento of public in
struction has called the attention of
school boards to the large amount of
unexpended funds which is allowed to
remain i'll the banks during the year
and which has been allowed to increase
and he very plainly suggests that this
Tact be taken into consideration in
making the annual levy for the use of
various districts. As these districts re-
celve no interest on the deposits from
the banks it would seem to be poor pol
ICY to levy an amount in excess of the
necessities of the boards and thereby
increase the rate of taxa:ion, while the
funds in the banks accumulate. The
following is the language of the super
on this subject:
THE annual reports submitted to this
department by the county superintendent
show that the school trcasurers of the ST ia
mad on hand September 90, 1887, nearly 49,.
ou9.0UO. This is an unusually large sum to
remain unexpcnded The Increase was
more than 100000 during the year. Your
attention is called to this matter as 1t is
In your power to diminish the sum in max
Ing your annual levy for the contingent
and teachers funds. Your especial at
tention is called TO that part of section
27GS which provides that the treasurer shall
make partial payments on an order when
the same cannot he paid In full out of
the fund upon which 1t is drawn. strict
compliance with this law on the part of
the treasurer will simplify the keeping Of
his accounts. and enable him to file HIS
annual report with no balance overdrawn."

But now, at last, had my chance.
The breeze fell, for some seconds, very
low, and the current gradually turning

round her center, and at last presented
me her stern, with the cabin window
still gaping open, and the lamp over the
table still burning on into the day.

ner. She was stock-still, but for the
current.
For the last little while I had even
lost; but now, redoubling my efforts,
l began once more to overhaul the
chase.
I was not hundred yards from her
when the wind came again in clap;
she filled on the port tack, and was off
again, STOPPING and skimming like a
swallow.
My first impulse was one of despair,
but my second was toward joy. Round
she came, till she was broadside on to
me-round still till she had covered a
half. and then two-thirds, and then
three-quarters of the distance that
separated us. l could see the waves
boiling white under her forefoot. I'm.
mensely tall she looked to me from nv
low station in the coracle.
And then, of a sudden, began to
comprehend. I had scarce time to think
scarce time to act and save myself.
l was on the summit of one swell when
the schooner came STOPPING over the
next. The bowsprit was over my head.
| sprung to my feet, and leaped, stamp
ing the coracle under water With one
hand l caught the jib-boom, while my
foot was lodged between the stay and
the brace; and as I still chung there
painting, dull blow told me that the
schooner had charged down upon and
struck the coracle, and that 1 was left
without retreat on the "Hispaniola."

HORTICULTURAL EXHIBIT.
That of the State Agricultural Col
leEc at the Omaha Exposition
Will BE Elaborate.

Prof. j. L. Budd, of the horticultural
department of the state agricultural
college in Amcs, states that the horti-
cultural exhibit at the TransSAIissis-
sippi exposition at Omaha will be very
elaborate. 1t will be prepared under
the direction of a. f. Coleman, of Corn
ing, the gentleman who so successfully
conducted lowa's horticultural exhibit
at the worlds fair in Chicago in 1898,
and the most competent man in the
west for the work The larger number
of varieties will be from the northern
part of the state, but the southern will
be well represented also.

IOWA RAILWAYS.
The Executive Council Completes the
Assessment, Increasing the Total
Amount About $4,000.

The executive council has completed
the railway assessment, and the net re-
suit is an increase of about $4,000 in
the total assessment, so that the rail
way property in the state is now as
sessedat about S44, 100000. The changes
made are based largely upon the show
ing of gross earnings of the companies.
Those companies which have shown
large increase in earnings have had
their assessments raised, while others,
showing that they have been paying an
undue proportion of taxes to earnings,
have been reduced

his term of Office he watched the af-
fairs of the state institutions with a
scrutiny that resulted in the most eff

was at first chary of accepting Gov.

consented.

The First Time.

There are a great many new ideas and features in this war. This is the first war in which the order, "Twenty Minutes for Breakfast" was given. The first in which the doath losses were nearly all on one side. The first that was prompted by feelings of hu manity, and now Uncle Sam proposes to take his sick boys out of the fever stricken district about Santiago and let them recuperate at a beautiful sum mcr resort in Long Island. The world stands surprised at our generous spirit displayed in time of war, while we are proud of our achievements and realize that we lead the procession of nations in everything that is for the advance ment of humanity.-Kirwin { Kan. ) Globe.
 This is also the first chance the great mass of common people have had to in vest their little surplus cash in govern ment bonds, and the millions saved to the masses by this policy may we'll be invested in something. The republi can party is to be congratulated on the success of it's war and bond policy There may be an excuse for the issu- ance of bonds in time of war but there can be none in time of peace.
