Nonasenar,ans to the Pope.

Rome, March 2.-The Catholic mona
genarians of the world presented an
address of congratulation to Pope Leo
XIII on the occasion of the Holy Year,
as the sovereign pontiff completed his
Goth year today. The idea of this nov.
ell address by signers nearly century
old, originated, it is said, in the mind
of an aged priest in Thun, Switzerland
The suggestion was met with favor on
the continent and copies of the docu
ment prepared for signatures. The
following is a translation of the. ad.
dress: Having arrived at an age
when the soul feels itself free from
influences which, at other stages OF
life, often mislead or smother it's no.
bier impulses, the undersigned are
able to understand better than ever
before those great truths of which
your Holiness has never wearied of re-
Winding the world, and which the lat
ter, to it's own misfortune, obstinately
ignores. The remembrance of the
great part of your Holiness life must
fill your soul with gratitude to God for
all that he has accomplished thru you.
And to this consciousness your Holt
ness must certainly be indebted for the
fourishing health, the ever youthful
strength which are the wonder of the
world and the joy of the universal
church" This date has double sig
nificance, as it is also the twenty-frst
anniversary of the coronation of the
pope. He received the congratulations
of the high prelates in the throne
room.

MANY THINGS OF INTEREST.
Excellent Articles in the Courier's Sup
plement This Week.

Dlemont This Week.
The Courier's supplement for this
week is full of many interesting
things. The leading story OF the maga-
zine page will show "The Head Hunt
ers of Luzon." Other interesting fea-
lures will be Cricket in Africa, as
PLAYED b. the British Officers;" "Evo-
luton of the Army Rifle" 1.-TWO Nam
moth ivory tusks," and number of
other topics OF equal timeliness.
The new serial story, "Love Finds
the Wav," develops greater interest
as the succeeding chapters appear and
the plot begins to untold itself. This
story began in last weeks supplement,
and no reader of the Courier should
miss perusing it.
A highly entertaining feature of the
supplement is a well written article on
the farmer-statesmen who are now
leading the Beers, not only on the
battlefield but in the council hall. This
article is accompanied bv excellent por-
traits of the prominent Beers who are
just now figuring so much in the Cour-
ier's red hot Geographic dispatches
from South Africa.

want Another Corn Palace.

Sioux City, March 3-The people of
Sioux City are debating about the
erection of another corn palace this
year. For several years Sioux City put
up these cereal palaces, and they made
the city famous all over the country.
OF late years, however, the citizens
have INDUCED in street carnivals, buu
there is disposition of being tired Of
these forms of fall entertainment.
Now they are once more clamoring for
a corn palace, and it would not be very
surprising if they get one. Men in
various parts of the county, especially
railway men, want TO see the old plan
taken up again, feeling sure it would
draw more people than anything else.

FINDS NO MOTIVE FOR sUIcIDE.7
,Coroner's Jury Investigates Case of Girl
Who Killed Herself at Fit. Madison.

. Fort Madison, March 3.-The coro-
ner's jury yesterday investigated the
case of Hazel rogers, the 12-year-old
girl who committed suicide by shoot
ing herself thru the heart.
No evidence showing that the girl
had love affair was introduced. The
jury was a unit in disbelieving that
the suicide was the result of any un-
fortunate love affair. Neither do the
members believe in theory that the
girl may have been murdered. The
object of continuing the Investigation
was. to endeavor to find motive for
the deed.
Foul play is suspected by some. 1t
lis improbable, they say, for the girl
to have stood at the foot of the bed,
shoot herself thru the heart and then
to have walked around to the side OF
the bed, put the gun on chair and
lay down to die.

SAYS he Has BEEN ON THE MOVE

From Saturdays Daily.
Mrs. H. d. Elliott, OF Fairview, is in
receipt of an interesting letter from
her son, David Clifton Elliott, mem
Der of Company c, Twentyfifth Unit
ed States infantry. The author of the
letter is a colored man who was born
and raised in Ottumwa. He is only 20
years old, but judging from the ex-
periences related in his letter he has
seen service, that would be credit to
one much older in years and longer in
the service than in the case of Mr.. Ell
lott. The communication, which was
received February "a, was written at
Santa Cruz, Philippine Islands, Janu-
airy 10, 1900, and is as follows:
My Dear Home Folks-A am at this

SEEKS HIS SISTER.
A Montana Man Asks Courier to Locate
Relative,

A Montana man desires the address
of his sister whose maiden name was
Lucas and who is supposed to have
married an Ottumwa newspaper man
number of years ago. He asks the
Courier to use its best efforts toward
locating the lady and encloses a no.
tice in his letter giving short history
of the matter so far as he has knowl-
edge.
According to Milton H. Lucas, OF
Red Lodge, Montana, his sister, Nicy
Catherine Lucas, lived alt St. Angus
tine, ILL.,, but some time thereafter
moved to Iowa where she married u
newspaper man either at Ottumwa or
Red Oak. Now it seems that Mr.. Lu-
ter's husband and is not sure whether
the ceremony took place at Ottumwa
or at Red Oak. but from some infor-
nation he seems to have it is inferred
that the marriage was performed at
one of the two places. A tour of the
married newspaper men of this city
failed to disclose the fact that the
maiden name of any of their wives
had been Lucas. Following is the let
ter:
Red Lodge, Mont, Feb. "a. 1900.
Ed. Courier:-Would you be SO kind
as to insert few lines in your paper
for me? I had a sister that was sup
posed to have lived either in your city

his name; neither have l seen my sis
ter for forty years. I received your
address thru a William Larkin and
wish that you would be so kind as to
insert the following notice in your pa
per:

Women,
Remember.
his
act

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham
you are communicating with woman
"a woman whose experience in treat
ing woman-s ills is greater than that
of any living person-male or female.
A woman can talk freely to wo-
man when it is revolving to relate her
private troubles to man.
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, know
ing full well that they should have
immediate assistance, but a natural
modesty impels them to shrink from
exposing themselves to the questions
and probable examination of even
their family physician. 1t is unneces-
sary. Without money or price you can
consult woman, whose knowledge
from actual experience is unequaled.
Women suffering from any form Of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass.
All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only.
This is positive fact-not a mere
statement. 1t is certified to by the
mayor and postmaster of Lynn and
others whose letters, all in a little book,
Mrs. Pinkham has just published.
Write for q copy, it is free. Thus
has been established the eternal con-
fdence between Mrs. Pinkham and the
women of America which has never
been broken and has induced more
than 10o, 900 sufferers to write her for
advice during the last few months.
Out OF the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, it is
more than possible that she has gained
the very knowledge that will help
your case. She asks nothing in re-
turn except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Here
are some Of the cases we refer to:
