dustrinl school Unsatisfactory.
Eldora, Nov. 4.--Many of the older
employees of the Iowa State Industrial
school at this place, ,ave resigned their
positions and are leaving the institution
on account of the sweeping reduction
of salaries as recently inaugurated by
the board of control. Much censure is
expressed against the board at this
place and some men who have been in
the employ of the state for five. six
and seven years are leaving, as they
women in this line of employment can
not work at the rate of salary which
the board has laid down.
Superintendent r. j. Miles, who Is
considered one of the best reform school
men and authorities in the nation, has
been deprived of the excellent services
of his wife as matron as the board have
formulated a rule prohibiting officers
wives serving as matrons or other Of
fees. Had the wife of ex-Supt. A.
II. Leonard of the Mitchellville school
been allowed to hold her position as
matron, Mr.. Leonard would not have
resigned. and the insurrection of few
days ago would not have happened. Mr..
Leonard for years was assistant super
intendent and his wife assistant matron
of the school here and their work is
well known all over the west. Citizens
OF Eldora. who have watched the work
ings of the institution here since II
started and have approved Of the plans
of Mr.. Miles, are not backward in criti-
,cising the board on it, action in abol.

Des Moines. Nov. AZ. G. Pierce, a
travelling man. who represented the
Wilbur Seed Company, of Milwaukee,
whose home was at Tic Delaware
street, Minneapolis. Mimi. was found
dead in his bed at the Logan House
yesterday morning.
Mr.. Pierce. who arrived in the city
ON a late train Thursday night. went to
the hotel, and being assigned room,
retired for the night. Before going to
his room he said to Night Clerk Curtis
that he was feeling indisposed. but eN-
pressed the opinion that it was nothing
serious. being due. perhaps. to con-
siderable reduction of his aroirdupois
by the use of an anti-fat preparation.
He had been troubled with excessive
obesity for several years. he remarked.
weighing at one time 325 pounds. BY
the use of the anti-fat remedy he had
reduced his weight to 222 pounds. Two
hours after he had retired he sum-
moned the porter to his room and re-
quested that physician be sent for to
give him relief from an apparent at
tack of Indigestion. Dr. Rood was
|called and after prescribing for Mr..
Pierce, went away. Nothing more was
heard from the room until $3.50 o'clock
in the morning, when the porter. who
had been sent to ascertain the condi-
ton of the guest, discovered that he
had died sometime between the time of
the departure of the physician and the
hour mentioned. Coroner Ankeny. who
was called, after making investigation,
decided that Pierce had died from
heart trouble. .5s

less Reinedy, but Il Does the Work.
There are some people who have piles
az frequently and regularly as other
people have colds.
Any little bowel trouble will bring
them on, any extra exertion, as in lift
ing. will produce them, and in fact they
will often appear without any apparent
provocation. Piles, however, are much
more serious than cold, as the tenden-
cy 10 always to grow worse until the
trouble becomes deep seated and chron-
ic, or develops into some fatal rectal
disease.
While there are many pile remedies
which give relief, yet there is but one
which not only gives instant relief but
at the same time makes a permanent
cure, and that Is the. we'll known Pyra-
mid Pile Cure.
This remedy is composed of simple,
harmless vegetable ingredients, but
combined 80 effectively and act SO
promptly and thoroughly that it cures
every form of piles, whether itching,
blind, bleeding or protruding.
In long standing cases the Pyramid
Pile Cure has proven to be the only GER
tain cure except surgical operation,
and It's advantages over an operation
are many, as it is painless, causes no
delay or interference with daily occupa-
! ton, and last, but not least, is cheaper
than any surgical operation could pos
sibly be.
The cases that the Pyramid Pile Cure
will not reach are SO few that physi-
clans are doing away with operations
for piles and depending upon this cheap
but effective remedy to accomplish a
complete cure, and it never disappoints
except in cases beyond the reach of
medical skill.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
the Pyramid Drug Company, of Mar
shall, Mich, and for sale by druggists
everywhere at so cents per package
Each package contains treatise on
cause and cure of piles, together with
testimonials from every section of this
country.

THE EpWoRTH LEAGUE.
An Element of Discord in the State
Association--Oficer Nominated.

Cedar Rapids, Nov 4.-The largest
number of Epworth Leaguers ever in
attendance at a convention attended
the sessions here yesterday, which We're
very enthusiastic. There were large
number of papers and discussions yes
terday. The ones of most interest We're
the addresses by Miss Eva Marshall
shontz and Mrs. Lucy Rider Meyer of
Chicago. The nominating committee
will make the following report, which
will be ratified by the convention
For president-W. c. Tackaberry,

For superintendent of junior league
work-NIss Susie Mills Marshalltown.
Although the attendance al this con-
vention is gratifyingly large. an ele-
ment of dscord has broken out in the
league that threatens to interfere with
the usefulness Of the state association.
The first intmaton that the public had
that there vas any trouble within the
last week, when it was learned that the
Epworth League of Trinity NJ. y.
church, of this city had refused to APP
point delegates to the state convention
or take any part in the entertainment
of the visitors. Sunday a truce was ar
ranged. and Trinity League appointed
delegates. 1t is a significant fact. how
ever. that the Trinity people are taking
little part in the meeting. and THURSDAY
evening Rev. S. I. Mckim. pastor Of
Trinity, failed to be on hand to give one
| of the addresses of welcome.
1t seems that at the last conference OF
1.-THE Upper Iowa conference of the Meth
odist church. held al Waterloo the min
listers made a strong fight on the STATE
/ E.pworth League. and succeeded II
passing a resolution refusing to sane

nizes nothing larger than a conference

! church. in which the convention Is pc
ling held, in his address of welcome sac

ment
Just what the difference will amount
Ito is difficult 10 tell. but it looks VERY
much as though there was danger q {
split in the state, and that the STAT
t,pworth League was in considerable
/ danger.

QulETlNG
IRRITATING
FOOD
TRY
CRAPE-NuTs

..Chinese dogs are taught to subsist
upon boiled rice. with little milk, and
become so placid that they will not
even bark" says Dr. Oswald.
This seems to demonstrate the fact
that a largely vegetable diet inciines to
quiet the nervous system, where. on the
contrary. diet composed largely of
flesh is ultimately irritating, particu7
larly to one confined mostly to mental
work.
Grape-Nuts are placed on the market
for the use of brain workers. 1t is a
concentrated nourishing foot, contain
ing in it's makeup minute particles of
phosphate of potash obtained from the
field grains This, when combined as
nature combines it in the human body
with albumen, makes the gray matter
of the brain and the nerve centers;
therefore the use of Grape Nuts sup
plies the brain worker With steady re-
newell of the daily losses from his en-
Iployment Grape Nuts do build brains,
as can be demonstrated by ten days or
| two weeks use. There comes steady.
sturdy feeling of independence and
strength.
The question of properly selected
food is the question of the day and the
individuals who give this question their
care and attention will become best fit
ted to make a success of life. Grocers
sell Grape-Nuts food.

Ames, Nov. A meteorite was seen
here last night. AS it rose above the
horizon in the southwest it appeared
about twice the size of a fun moon. 1t
Travelled very rapidly and in its flight
across the sky threw off myriad of
fragments, which tended to diminish it's
apparent volume and when it sank
from view was about the size of a
Roman candle ball. 1t appeared to be
very low and when directly overhead
a rushing sound like that of the flight
of flock of ducks was distinctly heard.
1T was witnessed by many citizens, who
were. for the moment, badly frightened.
1t appeared to hit the earth about half
a mile west of Boone, but was probably
a greater distance. perhaps many miles.

of Property Turned Over.
Waterloo, Nov. Al. NJ. Heron, of
Oskaloosa, is in this city on business
connected with the winding up of the
Equitable Mutual Life Association,
now in the hands of a receiver. He was
one of the directors, but was previous
ly an official of the Iowa Masonic
Benevolent Society, which was merged
into the Waterloo association. One
reason urged by the state insurance
department for the appointment of a
receiver was that the consolidation was
invalid, and members of the Masonic
society now make formal demand
for the property surrendered at the
time of the consolidation. Suit has
been brought in Mahaska county to en-
force the demand. The claim is set up
that the Masonic society would be SOW
ent il relieved of the burden of the Ed
uitable Association mismanagement.8
The demand. for the property was re-
fused and great litigation will result.
