is GROWING BETTER.


New York, Jan. 12.--Bradstreets says:
Business Is still of a between-seasons
character in most lines, but a livening
up of interest in several trades has been
noted this week. Relatively best reports
come from the iron and steel, lumber,
leather and drug trades, but there has
been some enlargement Of wholesale dis
tributive trade on spring account in the
south and central west. Spring trade in
dry goods is just opening up, and 1t is
noted that heavy shipping movement
on orders is now proceeding at the west.
Some gain in wool sales is noted at east
ern markets, but weather conditions have
not been favorable at the east to bust
ness as a whole, except as stimulating
the retail trade in shoes and rubber
goods. A special feature is the generally
good tenor of reports as to collections
from all western and southern points
from which 1t is inferred that trade re-
turns to retailers must have been quite
good. Summed up briefly, the situation
Is one of widespread confidence in the
general business outlook"
X. u. Dun & Co., in their Weekly Re-
view OF Trade, say: only in the tex
tiles Is special hesitation shown. Staple
products are firm. iron and steel prices
are held without trouble, boots and shoes
and wool are steady, and all with fair
demand, so that manufacturers are busy.
In textiles, however, the improvement
which seemed to be promised with the
new year Is still delayed, and in cotton
goods stocks are growing in some quar-
tiers, though still not oppressively heavy
anywhere. Throughout the country dis
tribution of merchandise continues on a
good scale and collections are unusually
prompt Construction of bridges and
buildings, together with contemplated
track elevation, crowds the capacity of
all concerns making structural shapes of
iron and steel. Orders for locomotives,
cars, rails and all forms of railway equip
ment are also abundant, and there is no
sign of reaction in the industry. Wheat
was agitated by reports of a corner in
the May option, and for time exhibited
strength. A sharp reaction followed,
holders parting readily with their con-
tracts. Despite the advance of about 10
per cent. over the price a year ago, At
lantic exports show an increase of 1885,
053 bushels, -four included, against 2,315,-
6SS in 1900. Even more remarkable Is the
comparison as to corn, of which ship
ments abroad amounted to 4543, 149 bush
els, against 3,40S, 1893 last year. while the
quotation Is nearly Is per cent. higher.
Wet weather is interrupting the move
ment from the farms, and there is still
much complaint of low grading at Chi
cago.
Failures for the week were S24 in the
United States, against PA last year, and
81 in Canada, against % last year"

pays small heed to the claims Of health.
He eats anything, anyhow, anywhen,
and anywhere. He doesn't eat crusts
by any means nor spare his purse to fill
his stomach. The mistake he makes Is
In thinking that when a man has filled
his stomach, that is the end of the bust
ness of feeding. Instead of being the
end of feeding it's only the beginning.
There is no value in food unless it is
digested, converted into nutrition and
assimilated. These processes depend
upon the healthfulness of the stomach
and the other organs of digestion and
nutrition. When these organs are dis
eased they cannot extract the nutrition
from the food received into the stomach
and the body becomes weak through
lack of nourishment. One day this
Uweakness" begins to find special de-
velopment in some chief organ, heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys, ETC., to which the
man succumbs. The doctors certificate
reads cheart disease, )" "kidney disease"
as the case may be.
But the real reading of the certificate
should be:
STARVED TO DEATH.
The truth of this statement is appar-
emit. Inc DO0y Is SuSlallleu ny loou
digested and assimilated. But the body
Is made up of its parts and organs, and
when the stomach is "weak," digestion
imperfect, and the nutrition extracted
from food inadequate to the needs of the
body, the result is shared by every part
and organ of the body. For this reason
no man is stronger than his stomach,
and no organ sustained by the stomach
can be stronger than the stomach.
Therefore when we hear of "weak i"
stomach we are pretty sure we are going
to hear in time of Uweak heart, "weak"
lungs, vweak" kidneys, or weakness Of
some other organ of the body dependent
on the stomach and cts associated organs
of digestion and nutrition.
Now these things being true when a
man has heart "trouble," liver "trouble,"

STREET CAR TALK. COUNTY ASSESSORS
Possible Routes of Electric Line
to Beacon.

There is considerable speculation
as to the possible and probable route
of the Oskaloosa and Beacon electric
line. There have been no surveys
yet made but the route has been con-
sidered by the company and they adj
NIT that they have several routes in
mind.
1t is possible that the line will start
south on Second street from the Rock
Island station, take in the residence
por ion that is certain to be establish
ed at South Side and thence south
west to Beacon.
A second route is to proceed south
on H street to point near the Capt.
Evans property and thence west and
southwest into Beacon.
A third has been suggested along
the divide starting south through
Green's addition southwest of the
city and cutting across fields to avoid
grades as much as possible.
There is another route that has
been suggested. 1t is to parallel the
right-of-way ofthe Iowa Central road
from some point south of the Rock
Island cut. This would be the short
est and most directroute but the peo-
pie served along the route would be
very few.
There will be number of surveys
made and the advantages and disad-
vantages of all. the routes will be
studied carefully before any decision
has been made.

SMALL FIRE.
The Hartman Dye Works Damaged by
Flames

Fire about two O'Clock Monday
morning did considerable damage at
the Chas. Hartman Dye Works on
North Market street, one block north
of High avenue. The flames were
discovered by Mr.. Hartman himself.
He had been out of the city and re-
turned to the place to find it filed
with smoke and the fire under con-
siderable headway between the cell
ing and the roof. An alarm was
turned in, the fire company respond
ed and water was thrown to stop the
flames. A quantity of clothing that
had been hung on line in one of the
rooms was destroyed and there was
some damage from water, all cover
ed by insurance.
1t would have been possible to put
out the fire with chemicals but there
have been no chemical supplies in
the hands of the department now for
a long time.
The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated from a flue.

MODERN MISERS.
Men Who starve Themselves
to Accumulate Money.

There Is a certain fearful fascination
about the stories of the misers of the
past. The money they accumulated was
of no more practical value to them than
the trinkets stolen and secreted by some
magpie or jackdaw. They hid it from
the sight and use of men and in silence
and secret gloated over the useless
wealth. To gather it they lived on
cruste or offal, grudged clothes to cover
them and FIRE to warm them, lived
starved lives and in not few cases died
of starvation. That was the old-time
miser The modern miser resembles
this man of the past in the particular
that he frequently dies of starvation.
In his eagerness to gather money he

ford Case Mislaid.

1t has been developed in the past
two or three days, during the trial of
F. e. Crawford in the district court,
that some important papers in the
case cannot be found. A bundle of
exhibits, about eight in number, con-
tanning the drafts and receipts at
issue in the case, and some import
ant correspondence is missing. Judge
Scott has issued orders to every at
torney and official who has had any
thing to do with the case to make a
thorough search for the missing
papers.
AT the time ofadjournment of court
on Saturday the state was not through
with Mr.. Sherman, cashier of the Cit
izens' Bank at New Sharon and the
prosecuting witness in the case. The
direct charge against Mr.. Crawford
is that of obtaining money under false
pretenses, in that he put up ware
house receipts as collateral when the
goods were not there. About SIC, 1000
Is involved.
B, w. Preston, who was attorney
for the prosecution at the preliminary
trial, has been retained by the state
and he is assisting County Attorney
Dewitt. McCoid & Finley, of Fair
field, represented by MIR. Finley, and
W. W. Haskell and James Carroll ,,'of
this city, are attorneys for the de-
tense. The case will likely consume
a week or more.

A Church That It's Pastor Caa
DependgOn.

Such is the Congregational Church
ofiCincinnati, Iowa. y 1t will do bet
ter than one expects it to every time.
Whether it is al supper by the ladits
an entertainment by the Sunday
school--a regularlmeeting by the En-
deavor Society-or a general collec-
ton for some worthy object.-A sue
cess always.
Last Sunday spoke to the Sunday
school and congregation of the great
need of help for India's famine
Orphans. THAT according to the
christian Herald'' there are $4,000
children crowded into the Mission
Stations of the different denomina-
tions, whose parents can not be
found-died in the famine no doubt.
And that the Missionaries are appeal
ing to the churches, Sunday-schools
and all in Christian America to adopt
child or children, and send them
the meansl for raising them. That
for SIS they can support a child in
their school for a year, food and all.
At once a motion.was made that one
be adopted and enough hands went up
to prove it would be done. Envelopes
were given to the classes in s. s. and
to all THAT would take one in the
evening congregation, asking all to
put their contributions in and the
name by which they wished the child
to be called outside the envelope.
The names selected, indicated that
some perferred adopting a boy,
others girl.
When the contributions were all in
we hadsenough to raise two. Then
it was easy to give all their choice by
adopting boy andia girl-a brother
and sister if possible. They decided
to call the boy Robert VIM. Hughes,
in honor of their pastor and the girl
Lillian Iowa Hughes, name sake of
his daughter who visited here Christ
mas time. And for this expression
of kindness and respective are truly
sakes in far away India will not want
while under the care of the good
people of Cincinnati.
May Gods richest blessings rest on
those children that they may grow
up to do much goodi in that benighted
country long after many of the con-
tributors to their support have gone
to their reward.
We shall have their pictures taken
and sent here as soon as possible and
/ hope that the church will have one
day each year known as "Our India
Orphans Day" when we shall look
on their pictures, relate their history
and hold them up to the throne of
Grace in our prayers and may Gods
blessingIrest on all that have had
part in doing this in His Name.
With grateful heart very sincerely
your pastor,
