The J. F. Hurt
Insurance Agency,
Letter to Col. A. J May.
TazeWeu, Ia.

Dear Sir: Mr.. John Z. Jackson has
taken the agency in your town for the
foremost paint in the world: Devoe lead
and zinc. We bespeak few words to say
how much more this means than simply
the sale of good paint.
Our agent has to administer this agree
ment with every customer.
eff you have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in putting it on, or here
after in the wear, tell your dealer about it.
"We authorize him to do what is right
at Our expense"
We become, you see, the partner of
every man that uses our paint; and the
partnership lasts as long as he chooses to
continue it.
Suppose 100 jobs of painting are done
with Devoe lead and zinc this year; and
some of them don't turn out satisfactory
two or three years from now. Our agent
has got to do what is right at our ex.
pense."
OF course this means that we know our
paint is going to turn out all right.
We have been in business, we and our
fathers in business, l45 years; have made
a great deal of paint; and have dealt with
thousands and thousands Of people. Are
not in the least afraid to "do what is
right" when job goes wrong.
And, in this age of adulteration, we say
"Send it to your State chemist If he finds
it adulterated, we will pay his bill and
send you 500.
There is such thing as honest business
yet in the world.
Yours truly,
+. w. DEvoE & Co.

DO NOT AGREE
TO Get OUT
OF CHINA.
Cabinet Meeting Held TO Avoid
Involving The United States
In a Bloody WrangIG.
Answers Received to The Questions Sent
Out From Washington Are Not
Satisfactory To This
Country.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The Cabinet held
four hours session today. At the con.
clusion the members were retlcient, saying
that at present they could not talk. 1t is
understood the replies from the Powers are
in the hands of the President, and, taken
as whole, they are not at all satisfactory
In framing reply in response to ques.
ton most Of the time was consumed.
ave discovered a safe course in this
matter, said one member, land it is of
the most vital Importance that we contin-
lie to be On the right side. The fact that
some of the Powers do not agree with us,
is, of course, not matter for alarm, but
it makes it necessary for us to be very
careful"
The real meaning of the reply to the
Powers that the Cabinet spent so much
time on today is that the United States
wishes to withdraw from the Chinese i'm.
broglio with the good will of the Govern
ments if possible, or without it, if stern
necessity demands. At any rate, the Ad.
ministration is resolved to break loose
from what threatens TO be an intermina-
BILE, costly and bloody wrangle if the Cor
dian knot is not cut at once.
PEACE MOVE BLOCKED.
Washington, Aug. 29.-While Japan
and Russia have signifed their willingness
to treat with the Chinese Government
through Ii Hung Chang, other Powers, by
reticence or refusal, bar progress. Ger
many and Italy fatty decline to recognize
Earl Ii. Austria is likely to join them.
France and England maintain silence on
that point. Germany undoubtedly wishes
the present conditions to continue until
the arrival of Baron Won Waldersee, as
her Minister, Baron Won Ketteler, is dead,
and until the arrival of her new Minister
or Won Waldersee she will not have a rep
of proper rank on the spot.

PEACE MOVE BLOCKED.
Story of a Slave

To be bound hand and foot for years by
the chains of disease is the worst form Of
slavery. George D. Williams, of Man.
chester, Mich, says: "My wife has been
so helpless for five years that she could
not turn over in bed alone. After using
two bottles of Electric Bitters she is won.
derfully improved and able to do her
own work." This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures nervousness,
melancholy, headache, back
ache, fainting and dizzy spells. 1t is a
godsend to weak, sickly, rundown people.
Cure guaranteed. Only SOC. Sold by
JOHN E. JACKSON, druggist.

Powers Watching Each Other.

Washington, Aug. 28.-Regarding tie
inquiry the replies thus far have develop
ed nothing. The powers appear to be
watching each other without definite or
fixed purpose as yet Of their own. With
regard to the first inquiry, England and
Russia are agreed that Earl LIS creden-
tials are sufficient Germany, however,
takes firm stand against the sufficiency
of bis credentials, and is the only power
as yet which has returned a hat.footed
dssention. The attitude of the United
States is that his credentials appear anthem
tic. They were promulgated by what APP
peared to be genuine imperial edict duly
transmitted through the Chinese minister,
Mr.. WI, and the United States il willing
to accept them at their face value, at least
for the present.
The administration, from the advices it
has received, does not credit the rumors
that Russia, Japan and Germany have
determined to declare war against China,
and it is willing to accept all disclaimers
of Interior purposes on the part Of the
powers. Just what would be done in case
some of the powers inaugurated war for
the purpose of territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
is not known, and the administration is
not disposed to cross that bridge until it
reaches it. But member of the cabinet
stated today that if any of the European
powers entered upon such program, it
would probably be reminded by the
United States that It had agreed to the
"open door" policy, by which all the pow
ers are placed upon an equal footing, and
that if territory we're acquired under the
we would be entitled to the
same privileges in the matter of trade,
ETC., as the conqueror.

AGAINST BRYAN.
Euclid Martin, 0maha's Leading Demo
crat, will Vote For Mckinley.

Omaha, August 2S.-Euclid Martin, for
years chairman of the Democratic State
Committee and postmaster during the last
term of President Cleveland, is stronger
in his opposition to Mr.. Bryan's candidacy
this year, than he was in 1896.
"In the present political situation, "
says he, 81 am unable to discover any
good reason why a Democrat favoring a
stable currency, who refused to support
Bryan in 1896, should support him now.
His prophesies and predictions as candi.
date in 1896 are unfulflled and the disas.
tiers which he announced as sure to follow
the election of Mr.. Mckinley have failed
to materialze.
"The platform of 1900, it seems. is in
no-wise better than that of 1896 and in
some instances is worse. / regard the at.
tempt to make an issue Of imperialism as
entirely abortiye."

Fires Don't Blow

A whistle for you to get out of the
way. They come with the swiftness
of lightning. You can't get away
from them, but you can buy FIRE
INSURANCE. You can then snap
your fingers at fires and bid them do
their worst. No question as to the
good standing of my companies.

Every Newspaper
You Pick Up

Tells about fires. You take it as a mat
ter of course. Most folks act as though
they supposed their homes were
charmed. They are not particularly
astonished when a friend is burned
out. They are sorry and extend their
sympathies. But it seldom occurs to
them that their turn may come next.

Glover Rations for Pigs,

We always feed a small armful of
clover to each pen per day. This is all
freshly cut from an adjoining field and
thrown over to them. Good rich clover
is n of the best all round feeds that
one can feed to his hogs. The best is a
good clover pasture into which he can
turn the whole herd. The farmer who
aims to raise pigs should endeavor to
raise clover also. Rape is very highly
spoken of as a feed for hogs. We have
never tried it with pigs, until this year,
but have fed it to sheep, and have
found it excellent. We had two small
lots of rape this year sown almost es-
pecially for the pigs. AS soon as the
rape had reached its development we
turned the pigs in, and let them har-
vest it for Observation-Disclosures

that it is one of extreme enjoyment and
perfect contentment, and by COMPARE
son he thinks his own a life of drudg-
cry. When he looks at and envies the
well-dressed city boy, he does not see
the temptations and evil influences
that surround him, nor think of the
effect of impure air and sedentary hab-
its upon the body. He is governed only
by appearances. The country boy is as
free as the birds of the air. He comes
under the most wholesome influences
and is not subjected daily to those aw-

hangs the success or failure of every
enterprise. The country boy is in a
position to acquire practical knowl-
edge at small expense, which will be

of ornamental learning. AS far as SUI.
periority is concerned, it may be in
evidence in a farmer as well as any
one. 1t is brought about. not by the
occupation. but by the organization of
the faculties, the absolute adherence
to the universally recognized princi-
pies of right. If it falls to your lot to
be c~ountrybred. be proud of the fact

will bring you to the height of your
ambition.-E. D. Hougland, in Prairi'
