Fred Blattner is preparing for
very large ice harvest this winter.
He has all things in readiness aud is
only waiting for the ice to form. He
will pack in the neighborhood Of six
thousand tons of ice, which is one
thousand more than he has ever put
up before.
The past season was a remarkable
one in point of. the large amount Of
ice consumed in the city and Mr..
Blattner had to face an Ice famine.
The season was long and hot one,
and the.amount of ice consumed was
therefore larger than ordinarily but

One of the most common statements
made in the letters grateful women
write to DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
is this: III owe my life to DIR. Pierce"
These women have found themselves il
great danger. They have appealed
without avail to local physicians. They
have counseled in vain with women
advisers. The best that had been done
for them was Just to keep them aAoat in
the sea of disease with strength visibly
failing, in the hope that the man who
had strength and skill to save them
might be found.
woMAN's APPEAL. ANSWERED.
Hundreds of thousands of women
have appealed to DR.. Pierce, for relief
from womanly ills and not one has APP
pealed in vain. The use of DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription supplemented by

been the means of cure to this vast army
of women suffering from diseases pecul-

"BREAKTNG HOME TIES"
Jarnigan SurnIises the Reason for OPP
position TO Electric Cars

Montezuma Republican: 1.-THE peo-
pie of Oskaloosa are holding their
breath in anxious suspense, waiting
patiently developments touching the
replacement of their present street
car service with a modern, up-to-
date electric line. To the people of
that place this transformation means
much. Their present street car
equipment has become one of the
land marks of the place. That gray
mule, pranciug along with the agil-
ity of school girl jumping a rope,
has been q familiar figure on the
thoroughfares of the municipality
for 10 these many years. When over
loaded, hi gentle bray has had a
melody about it that was truly in.
spring Tue cars were made during
the administrat on OF Andrew Jack
son and their very age commands
respect. AS they pass ON their mis-
sion of mercy prominent citizens of
the placepause in their daily avoca-
tons long enough to doff their hats
to them as they go whizzing by and
giddy school girls throw kisses at
the antiquated caravan as it moves
majestically down the street. No
wonder talk of replacing them with
modern contrivances causes the cold
chills to play leap,frog athwart the
spinal column of the average Oska-
loosian. Il is like giving up an old
family treasure."
