II Happened in a DRUG Store.

"One day last winter a lady came to
my drug store and asked for brand Of
cough medicine that did not have in
stock" says MIR. G. r. Grandin, the
popular druggist of Ontario, N. Y. "She
was disappointed and wanted to know
what cough preparation could recon-
mend. l said to her that could freely
recommend Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy and that she could take bottle of
the remedy and after giving it a fair
trial if she did not find it worth the
money to bring back the ottle and
would refund the price paid. In the
course of day or two the lady came
back in company with friend in need
of a cough medicine and advised her to
buy bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. l consider that a very good
recommendation for the remedy" The
remedy owes its great popularity and
extensive sale in great measure to the
personal recommendations of people
who have been cured by its use. 1t is

IOWA STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Preparing to Fortify Against Con.
tagiouS Diseases.

The state board of health is prepar-
ing to fortify itself the coming winter in
the matter of contagious diseases and it
is expected that greater effort than
ever before will be made to secure reia-
BILE information in regard to smallpox,
diphtheria and scarlet fever, to the end
that all prevent spread of these dis
eases.
The fact that numbers of new cases
have been reported recently in the
southern part of the state indicates that
the contagious disease season may open
early. Smallpox is prevalent In several
cities of the state. The reports indicate
that school boards are more yigilant
than ever in excluding pupils who have
of State Superintendent Barrett to the
president of the school board in Sioux
City, making it plain that school boards
in Iowa have the power to enforce COM
pliance with all reasonable regulations
of the local boards of health and that
vaccination is regarded as reasonable
regulation, has done much to encourage
action looking to prevention of contag-
ion.
Secretary Kennedy of the state board
of health, reports that during 1899 and
1900 diphtheria appeared in 1856 towns,
townships and cities of the state, scarlet
fever in 500 places and smallpox in 800.
The deaths reported in the two years
were: Diphtheria, 3l5; scarlet fever,
ll2; smallpox, "a. But the secretary
intimates that there we're at least twice
as many cases and deaths in the state
as were reported. Some of the places
where contagion was greatest were not
recorded at all. Only seven counties
report that they had no smallpox dur
ling the two years. The number of
deaths from smallpox is small consider.

total of 1872.

died in Pleasanton, Iowa, October 9Th,
1901, at the age of 81 years, II months,

October Weather.

Prof. Hicks, the St. Louis weather
prophet, makes the following predlc-
lions for the balance Of October:
A glance at the storm chart shows
that very unusual combination of dis.
turbing causes bears, on the regular
storm period which is central on the
18th, covering the 18th to the 18th.
The mercury period, the autumnal
equinox, the Mars period, the Jupiter
disturbance are all seen to extend theif
influence into this part of October.
The conjunction of moon with the Gun
on the 18th will precipitate the change
to warmer and falling barometer at the
very outset of this regular Vulcan pei
iod, and returning storms of rain and
snow will pass across the country about
Monday the 18th to Thursday 18th.
The chances for heavy autumnal gales
oyer the lakes and north Atlantic are
many at this period. At the crisis Of
these storms it will be best to look for
some early winter.
The Goth and 31st are central days of
reactlonary time of autumnal disturb
ances. A perceptible change to warmer
will be noted in the west about the 10th;
this change will be followed by falling
barometer and cloudiness, and October
rains, fringed in the north by sleet and
snow, will traverse the country from
west to east during the Goth to 22d.
Please note that this is the center of the
Mercury. and that Mercury is the seet
god.
Some of the heaviest storms of the
month may certainly be counted on
during the Vulcan storm period central
on the 2Sth. AT this time the boreal
influences will have grown aggressive,
the moon will be on the equator on the
9th, full on the 9th and in perigee on
the 18th. This will also be at culnill-
ating stages Of both the Mercury and
Mars perturbations. Watch all aeri.
cultural and maritime interests at this
time. Cold wave will follow.

pressed his lips firmly together and
listens with an air of assumed indif-
ference to the persistent stream of
questions, arguments, objurgations
and admOnitions with which his cap
tors seek to induce or compel him to
talk.
1t was just after the daily organ
recital in the splendid Temple of Mu-
sic that the dastardly attempt was
made.
Planned with all the diabolical in
genuity and fineness of which an
archy or nihilism is capable, the
would-be assassin carried out the
work without hitch, and should his
designs fail and the president sur
vive, only to Divine Providence can
be attributed that benefcent result.
The president, though well guarded
by United States secret service de-
tectives, was fully exposed to such an
attack as occurred. He stood at the
edge of the raised dais, upon which
stands the great pipe organ at the
east side of the magnificent struc-
ture. Throngs OF people crowded in
at the various entrances to gaze upon
their executive, perchance to clasp
his hand, and then file their way out
in the good-naturated mob that every
minute swelled and multiplied at the
points of ihgress and egress to the
building.
The president was in a cheerful
mood and was enjoying to the full
the hearty evidence of good will
which everywhere met his gaze. Upon
his right stood John G. Milburn, of
Buffalo, president of the Pan-Arnari-
can exposition, chatting with the
president and introducing to him
especially persons of note who APP
preached. Upon the presidents left
stood Mr.. Cortelyou.
It was shortly after four p. m.
when one of the throng which sur
rounded the presidential party, a
medium-sized man of ordinary APP
pearance and plainly dressed in black,
approached as if to greet the presi-
dent. Both Secretary Cortelyou and
President Mckinley noticed that the
mans hand was swathed in bandage
or handkerchief. Reports of bystand-
ers differ as to which hand. He
worked his way amid the stream of
people upto the edge of the dais until

HIS MESSAGE SUPPRESSED.
Methodist Ecumenical Conference Would
Not Hear Proposition to Unite with
Episcopalians-Hostilit to Beers.

London, Sept. 6.-The EcumenicaI
Methodist conference Thursday unan-
imously declined to hear the secretary
read the message of the archbishop
of Canterbury, in which he expressed
hope that some day the Methodists
would be united with the Episcopa-
hans, on the ground that they had
been addressed to the editor of a re-
ligious newspaper and not to the con-
ference. Discussing the present posi-
ton of Methodism, Rev. T. E. buckles,
of King Williams Town, Cape Colony,
said the war would purify the admin
istration of the natives. Bishop Hart
zell, missionary bishop of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church in Africa, said
the war was merely an incident of
Anglo-Saxon civilizations expansion.
DIR. Leonard, of New York, thanked
God for what Great Britain was doing
in South Africa and expressed the
hope that the war would soon end
with the Union Jack floating.

Ecuador Has interviewed with Army and

authoritative source in Cali, Colombia,
near the Ecuadorean border, stating
that Ecuador had interviewed as
against Colombia with an army we'll
equipped and with vessels of war. I'm
der these circumstances the cable
gram states that it will be necessary
to meet the move of Ecuador by hav-
ing Colombia war vessels in Pacific
waters near the Colombia-Ecuador
frontier. The information in the ca
blegram is considered clear evidence
of Ecuador's Intention to join forces
with the rebellious element on the
isthmus of Panama. Until now Ecua-
dor has maintained strict neutral
ity, but the cablegram received in
dicates that the first overt move
against Colombia has been made.
