Safe,

The little child is safe from ordinary
dangers in the care of the faithful dog.
But neither the dogs fidelity, nor the
mothers love can guard a child from
those invisible foes that Turk in air,
water and food-the germs of disease.
Children need to be specially watched
and cared for. When there is loss of
appetite, lassitude and listlessness in a
child, an attempt should be made to re-
vive the appetite and rally the spirits. In
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
parents have found an invaluable medi-
cine for children. Its purely vegetable
character and absolute freedom from
alcohol and narcotics commend it to
every thoughtful person. It is pleasant
to the taste, unlike the foul oils and
their emulsions offered for children s
use. eGolden Medical Discovery" makes
pure blood and sound flesh, and abso-
lutely eliminates from the system the
poisons which feed disease.
Mrs. Ella Gardner, of Waterview, Middlesex
Co., Va, whose daughter suffered from malariai
poisoning and catarrh, writes: Why little
daughter is enjoying splendid health. l am glad
1 found doctor who could cure my child She
took twelve bottles of the Golden Medical Dis
covery, eight bottles of Pellets and one bottle
OF Dr.. Sages catarrh Remedy, and she is we'll.

Packing House Items.

L. F. Darlington, the new chief en-
gineer for John Morrell & Co., arriv-
ed in Ottuma last Monday morning.
Mr.. Darlington is pleasant talker,
and is an engineer who has had con-
siderable experience with the Interna-
tional and Wells Packing company of
Chicago. He has also had charge of
the Fourteenth street pumping station
at Chicago, and understands the up
to-date methods that aroused in the
large concerns especially the packing
plants. Mr.. Darlington will move his
family to this city at an early date.
Jim .Schwabkey, one of Ottumwas
old time c., B. & @. boys, is here with
his wife for visit with Mr.. Schwab-
keys mother, Mrs. Carl Schwabkey,
on East Second street. His true name
is j. w. H. Titus, but he always went
by the name of his stepfather, G. F..
T. Schwabkey. Jim used to fire the
A on the c., B. & @. twenty-five
years ago. He is now running a pas
senger engine on the Great Northern,
between Duluth and St. Paul, and this
is Mr.. Schwabkey's first visit in OF
tumwa for the past fifteen years.
While in Burlington the other day,
Mr.. Schwabkey had the misfortune to
be kicked by horse, and as the re-
suit bone in his left arm was

EGG WAR PROMISED.
Swift People Install Branch Butte.
and Equ Establishment,

A lively egg war is promised for OF
tumwa as result of the coming to
this city of Swift & Co., of Chicago,
with branch produce house. AS was
stated in the Courier several weeks
ago, this company has bought the es-
tablishment and business of the Pho
neer Poultry Co., whose place of bust
ness is located on South Jefferson
street The Chicago firm announced
its intention at the time of the pur-
chase of enlarging it's business and in
Guiding butter and egg business, and
this line is being attended to by G. G.
Ryder, the manager.
1t now develops that the local pack
ing firms are disposed to resent the
action taken by the Swift people, and
the way in which they conduct their
business. 1t is said they are attempt
ing to cover the territory of the local
firms so that the latter will have moth
ing to do. A. w. Johnson, of the firm
of Samuel Lilburn & Co., said to a
Courier reporter this morning that the
Swift people try to pull prices up and
then come to the local dealers and at
tempt to get them down.
will an egg war ensue?" was asked
him
We'll, no, you couldn't call it an egg
war, exactly, but we propose to take
care of our business and do as we see
best Mr.. Johnson replied.
This seems as if the local dealers
are waiting for further developments,
and knowing ones prophesy that in
the course of few weeks we will see
the farmers with the glow of happy
contentment lighting their counte-
nances and hear the jingle of dolla s
| in their pockets-the dollars received
for eggs sold at high prices on ac,t it
of the egg war. Surely some one Kill
prosper as result of the war, il it
does materialize.
Mr.. Johnson says that no united ac-
ton will be taken by the dealers in
Ottumwa, but hints that each firm will
conduct it's business and watch its
corners" so as to reap the greatest
possible individual benefit.
The Swift people, in establishing
their plant here, are, it is said, fol.
lowing out plan observed in several
Iowa cities, among others being Bur.

I'M COUNCIL BLUFFS
Annual Meet of Iowa Regatta AS
ISOLATION to be Held There.
THE DATE SET F0R JULY f6 AND II
Executive Committee Met Yesterday
and Made Its Observation-Disclosures a
Member of the Association-WiII
Send Team to Regatta.

The next annual NEE. of the Iowa
State Regatta association will be held
at Lake Manawa, near Council Bluffs,
July 16 and IL This was decided up
on at meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the association which was
held in Council Bluffs. Eight cities,
composed of Burlington, Cedar Rapids.
Sioux City, Dubuque, Ottumwa, CouD-
Gil Bluffs, Waterloo and Storm, Lake,
are members of the association and all
meeting yesterday except Ottumwa.
1t has not yet been definitely decided
If Ottumwa will be represented at the
annual regatta or not, but it is more
than likely she will This city has a
wonderful aggregation of amateur
rowers, and everywhere they have ap-
peared, have carried off the majority
OF the contests.
Some of the Contests.
On the first day of the regatta the
junior four, junior double and junior
single will be pulled off. The second
day will be devoted to the senior four,
double and single. All oarsmen will
be eligible to the junior races but only
past winners of junior races will be
admitted to the senior races of the
second day. The winners of the first
day will probably enter on the second
days contest The second day will
bring out the best and champion oars
men of the state and it is expected to
be the warmest contest in the history
of the state association.
The Council Bluffs association in
tends to make it gala occasion. Be
sides the regular contests there will
be free for all in which amateurs of
any descriptions may enter. Besides
the boat races there will be swimming
contests, tub races and yacht races.
The course on Lake Manawa will be
laid out in front of the boat house and
the pavilion. 1t will be for one-half
mile and the oarsmen will row quar-
ter and back. Members of the execu.
tive committee said yesterday that
the course could not be excelled in the
state and were delighted at the pros.
pect.
The facilities for handling the
throngs of people who will crowd to
the waters edge to witness the con.
tests are excellent. Extensive i'm
provements are now in progress at the
lake and long before the time for the
Iregattathe pavilion will be made large
enough so that it will accommodate
thousands of spectators and will give
every one chance to see.

Captain Frank w. Eckers, is now in

is quite an honor, and Captain Ecker's
many friends in this city are greatly
pleased to know that he has
been so highly honored. This
also probably assures Captain
Eckers commission in the

sent home with his regiment if he was
to have been mustered out with it. The

Captain Eckers did not know what the
conditions we're, and he is only sup
posed to be attached to the Manila po-
lice until June 80, at which time his
commission as a volunteer officer eX-
