Ancient Pile
From Wednesdays Daily.
The board of supervisors of Madison
county were the worst sold lot of men
seen for long time this morning. 1t
seems that the question of building a
new Jail in Winterset has been settled
by the people of Madison county and
the board were sent on a junket fol-
the purpose of discovering a Jail the
plans of which would coincide with
that county's requirements. Accord
ingly the board set out for Wapello
county, supposing of course that a
county that ranks so well in population
and wealth would have an up-to-date
Jail. They repaired to the courthouse
after alighting from the train and be-
coming acquainted with Supervisor
Wagers, asked to see the place where
the county detains its criminals. Hen
ny asked no questions and took them ov-
er to the ancient pile. Their cheeks
paled and flushed at the sight and final
ly they told the supervisor the object

S. b. Carr Injured.

S. B. Carr, residing seven miles
northeast of Ottusnwa, sustained a
serious injury on East Main street
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Carr was on
a wagon loaded with hogs, which he
was taking to the packing house of

over the foot just below the ankle.
The bones were not broken but the
foot is badly bruised and is very pain
full. The injury was dressed by DR.. G.

4 MEASURE Of MERIT
Ottumwa Citizens Should Weigh

Proof of merit lies in the evidence.
Convincing evidence in Ottumwa
Is not the testimony of strangers
But the endorsement of Ottumwa

That's the kind of proof given here.

commended. If had not obtained pos.

from inactive or weakened kidneys do
