Rheumatic pains are the cries Of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no

not until the blood has been purified and

the aches and pains cease.

oTTuMWA's SEVERE LOSS.

The sudden death of DR.. B. f. Hyatt,
after less than two days illness, has
thrown a deep shadow of gloom over
this community, which time alone can
dispel. 1t is strange, but true cir
cumstance, that within the past twelve
months death has claimed every mem
Der of the United States board of ex-
aiming surgeons in this city. First
occurred the death of DR.. G. G. Lewis,
then in January last DR.. G. G. Powell.
and now DR.. B. F Hyatt. There are
no men in this community who enjoy
more true, sincere and lasting friend
ships, than did Dr. Hyatt. He was a
man Of peace, but could hold firmly to
his convictions and when assured that
right was on his side, he could not be
moved from the pathway of duty. 1t
may be said that DR.. Hyatt was not a
man of genius and unusual talent, but
he was thoroughly educated physi-
clan, successful practitioner and a
man of broad and universal sympathy,
who was beloved, and who will be
deeply mourned by all who knew him.
The afflicted family has the sincere
sympathy of the entire community.

MILWAUKEE, CUTOFF ASSURED.

The Courier feels that it can an
nounce today with positiveness that
the Milwaukee cutoff between this
city and Davenport, will be built and
that at once. The Chicago papers in
their railroad columns of this morning
state that the proposed line has been
definitely located and seem to leave
no doubt but that the work of con-
struction will be begun at very early
date. 1t would be superfluous for the
Courier to refer at length to the
manifold ADVANTAGES that will result
to this city, from the building of this
cutoff. 1t will place Ottumwa on one
of the shortest through lines between
Chicago and Kansas City, and will
very materially add to the already ex-
cellent passenger service enjoyed by
this community. From freight
standpoint it will place this city in di-
rect connection with an exceedingly
rich agricultural section, which has not
heretofore been Immediately tributary
to Ottumwa trade. The cutoff will be
valuable feeder for the packing
house.
The building of this line and the
adoption by the voters of this city, of
the proposed electric railway ordi-
nances, thus placing the city in posi-
ton to avail itself at the earliest pos.
sihle moment of the valuable inter-ur.
ban lines, will give Ottumwa an i'm
petus such as it has not enjoyed for
many years. The one thing for the
business men and citizens of Ottumwa
to do now, is to unite upon one fixed,
positive, determined line of action,
viz that personalities, grudges and
old feuds shall be buried in everlast-
ing oblivion, and that every citizen
will put his shoulder to the wheel with
progress and advancement as the
watchwords. There is here in Ottum-
wa today the nucleus of the largest
and most progressive manufacturing
city between Chicago and Omaha. OF.
tumwa can be the Peoria of Iowa. 1t
can in five years be city of 10000
people. 1t but remains for our own
people to do their part and do it right
and the inherent natural advantages OF
Ottumwa will do the rest.

KISSING is CATCHING.

ady There was Lieut.. Hobson, and
now another fond idol has been shat
tered. c. M. Schwab, who draws the
comfortable little salary of $S00,000
per year as president of the u. S.
Steel corporation, Friday night jump
ed into the Hobson class and kissed
200 women in twenty minutes. The
correspondent naively remarks Both
he and Mrs. Schwab, who stood by,
seemed to like it." 1t all happened in
the most natural way in the world.
MrSchwab came to Braddock to attend
the dedication of the Episcopal church
which he built as memorial to his
mother-in-law, who is still living The
members of the First Presbyterian
thank Mr.. Schwab for the $4,000
which he had given to lift the debt of
the church. A reception was tender
ed to Mr.. and Mrs. Schwab in the par
lors of the Presbyterian church. The
majority of the congregation consists
of steel workers employed in the
works of Schwab's company and their
wives and daughters. The congrega-
6 ton filed into the parlors of the
church. One of the women, with a
Gaby in her arms, stepped up to the
couple and shook hands with Mrs
Schwab. Then she turned to Schwab.
Schwab murmured, What a pretty
baby!" and STOPPING down, kissed the
child. Then he took the mothers
face in his hands and kissed her.
There was great applause and cheers,
and when the next woman came up
she also got kiss from the stell mag
nate. The women filed by and Sehwap
kissed 200 of them. After he hal
kissed all of the women, not disap-
pointing one, he turned and kissed
Mrs. Schwab who was standing BY
laughing heartily. After the kissing
bee Schwab announced that he intend
ed to do something for Braddock that
Braddock would like.
Those 200 kisses will in all proba.

bills. We hope so.

THOSE WHO GIVE, HAVE.

Some years ago, the writer heard
one of the best men we have ever
known, and who then realized that his
remaining days upon earth were few,
say that what he had given away to
the church and for the benefit of the
public was the most certain and real
possession that he then had. He adj
ded further that his one regret was
that he had not given more during the
years when he had more to give, for
it was true in his case that much of the
wealth which he had saved was lost in
unfortunate financial ventures during
the closing years of his life. Today in
neighboring city there stands
a beautiful chapel as mon
ument to this man which
he built at his own expense and gave
to one of the church denominations
This was one of the real possessions
which this good man felt that he pos
sessed in the closing years of his life
