AN ECONOMIC LEAGUE.
for the study of Eco
nomics to Be Perfected In This

Organization for the Study of Eco
| Monies to Be Perfected In THIS
| City.
Miss Gertrude Edmunds. representing
the university extension department of
the Chicago University, is in the city
| for the purpose of organizing an eco
nomic club. The universitys work Is in
charge of some of the most noted pro-
fessors OF political economy In the
| United States and will probably prove
an interesting study to those who un-
dertake It. Miss Edmunds saye that 1t
| Is her intention to interest the leading
professional men and other educated
classes in the study.
The object OF the league as she states
lit is as follows:
1.-THE object Of the Economic League
liz to encourage an interest in the dis
cussion of social and economic subjects
and to furnish by lectures and printed
courses of study, reliable information
on such topics as trusts. municipal
Ownership, national expansion, the
Monroe doctrine. money. tariff. direct
Legislation, etc, etc, which are of vital
interest to the American people. In
carrying out this plan 1t has secured
the aid of many of the leading special
lists of the world. men who are recog-
nized as authorities in the departments
they have treated.
1T should be borne in mind that this
lis not an effort to found new political
party or to interfere with any of the
parties already in existence. The Eco
nomic League is committed to no party,
creed or hobby. It's sole aim Is to seek
the truth, to arouse public sentiment in
each community to the need Of unity Of
action on public questions, to secure a
better administration of our laws. and
to furnish the information and help
needed that all may exercise, intelli-
gently, the rights of American citizen

IN BUSINESS IN MANILA.
Former Marshalltown BOY Engages
IN Custom House Traffic In the

IN Custom House Traffic In the
Philippines.
Marshalltown can lay claim to some
thing that every city in the United
States is unable to, and that is that she
now located in Manila, +. 1. The word
came Thursday in letter to Miss Anna
Whitaker, of this city, from her brother,
Mr.. Robert Whitaker, a former Mar
shalltown boy and clerk for the Nc
Bride & Will Drug Company. Mr..
Whitaker writes that he and Charles
Lamb. another Company L. First Ne
braska man, and an intimate friend of
his have embarked In the custom house
agency business. Their duties will be
the handling OF goods for Manila mer-
chants. and seeing that the different
imports and exports safely pass
through the hands of the customs house
officials.
The experience that both Mr. whita-
ker and Mr.. Lamb have had in the Ma
Mia customs house. both having been
employed there prior TO the opening of
hostllities as far as the First Nebraska
was concerned makes them especially
fitted for the work and they expect to
make money out or the venture. Mr..
Whitaker writes that the government
allowance after service holds goods for
year, as do also their passes across
the water and the allowance of their
subsistence on the trip to this country.
The letter from Manila was indeed a
welcome one. as Miss Whitaker and
brother, Mr.. j. NJ. Whitaker, We're very
much worried over a dispatch sent out
from Manila upon the sailing of the
transport bearing the Nebraska troops.
The dispatch stated that two men,
bers of the regiment We're left behind,
they being Robert Whitaker and
Charles Lamb, of Company L, who were
unable to leave on account of sickness.
This sets at rest all worry that has been
experienced by the young soldiers rela-
tives.
Miss Whitaker is In receipt from Ma
Mia of a communion table covert cloth
of silk, worked in pure gold and silver
thread, which is present from her
brother. Guy Whitaker. of the Fifty
first Iowa. The cloth was secured from
large cathedral in Manila and is very
rich in design

IS 1T RIGHT
For IN Editor to Recommend Patent
Medtciness


From Sylvan Valley News. Brevard. N. @.
1t may be question whether the ed
itor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as preventative of suffer
ing we feel 1t duty to say good
word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine In our
family for twenty years and have al
ways found 1t reliable. In many cases
dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending i'm
plicitly on any medicine for cure, but
we do believe that If a bottle of Cham
berlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the incep-
ton of an attack much suffering might
be avoided and in very many cases the
presence of physician would not be
required. At least this has been our
experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by druggists.
