Trenches for New Water
Mains Damaged by Last
NIGHTS Storm.

Principal among the losses sus-
tanned by last nights storm is that
sustained by the city of Missouri Val
ley on account of the caving In of the
new trenches for the extension of the
mains for the city waterworks system
For several days past Water Commits
sioner Ford has had large force of
men busy excavating the trenches for
the new mains and the work had been
completed from Harrison west to
Noble street in the west end of the
city and Saturday the mains had been
placed in position and partially con-
nected but 1t was impossible to COM
plete the work by the time of quitting
Saturday night The ground had been
softened considerably by the con.
tinued rains of the past few days and
last nights storm put on the finishing
touches. In many places the sides of
the trenches caved in for distance of
several yards covering the pipes. 1t
will be necessary to remove the dirt
from the pipes before the completion
of the work.

Buffalo Bill Coming.

Unless there is a radical change
in the present plans and intentions
Buffalo Bills mammoth Wild
West production will visit Missou-
ri Valley sometime in the early
part of August Saturday tele-
gram WAS received here by persons
of authority from the management
OF the Cody production inquiring
If the city would remit the license
usually charged such enterprises,
furnish gratis all water needed
and plot of suitable ground free
OF charge in case the routing of
the show through this section of
the state be altered SOFAS to include
Missouri Valley instead of Coun-
Gil Bluffs. The matter was imme-
diately taken up by the proper
persons and an affirmative re-
sponse was soon dispatched. If
the management of the production
does decide to visit this city in
stead of Council Bluffs, which is
highly probable, it means Missouri
Valley will have the largest crowd
gathered within her borders some
day next August, in the history of
the city.

THE KICKER.
A Theory Of His Rise and
Progress.

The word skicker" is no more slang.
but an honorable term admitted by the
photographer to the round table Of
English speech. This acceptance Of the
word proves that there was a real need
for 1t that a certain class of people had
no word in the English language to
1itly designate them. As class these
ktckers must be as modern as the word
which describes them. They are in eff.
feet new product of our latest civiliza.
ton. The word which describes the
kicker is picturesque. It suggests the
mule whose kicking is usually done out

War Tax Goes of.

At last we are TO see the end of the
Spanish American war tax on some
things. We licked the Spanish in three
months, but have licked stamps to pay
for the fun and glory for three years,
thus giving to the government nearly
half billion of dollars to help out the
regular funds in the emergency, run
ing the government without q hitch
aud supplying every excuse for grabs
and jobs by officials, contractors, rail-
roads and steamship lines, by which
many have beenmade miliionairies and
and placed in the lap of luxury for all
time.
But at last the war tax-or part of it
lis to go. After July lst the people
will cease to lick so many stamps, and
the nuisence and expense and legal
complications on many forms of bust
ness transactions will be but memory.
Notice has been received from the
treasury department to the effect that
on and after the above date they will
no longer collect taxes on the follow
ng articles: Drafts, orders for payment
of money, certificates of deposit, post
office money orders, promisary notes,
leases, export bills of lading, NANTES
toes for custom house entry, clearance
OF cargo, powers of attorney, protests,
charter parties, certificates of profits or
certificates showing interest in proper

Of pure wantonness; which kicks in sea.
con and out of season. at everything or
ct nothing as the case may be. The
term kicker scarcely needs definition.
We know exactly what it means, as
we'll as we know the chronic fault-6nder
It designates.
TIE RISE OF THE KICKER.
Any one who cares to trace the rise Of
with the prevalent American disease,
dyspeptics. but all dyspeptics are surely
finders Nothing goes right for them
always dead fy in their ointment. Il
Is miserable condition for the dyspep-
tic and his friends. He really can't help
himself. His nerves are strained to the
limit of endurance. His ears are like
megaphones magnifying every little
sound to the shock of thunder. His
eyes lose sense of perspective and he
sees mole-hills as mountains. He is
suspicious, jealous, unreasonable and
obstinate; and all these things are only
symptoms Of the disease which is starv-
ing and weakening the entire nervous
system and reaching out toward heart,
liver. lungs. kidneys and other organs.
WHAT CAN BIZ DONE FOR H1M1
What can be done for the victim Of
dyspepsia
ne can be cured. He can be given a
new start in life. He can be made the
amiable, companionable man he was of
old. He can once more eat with app
petite and enjoyment, work with energy,
and sleep the night through in sound.
dreamless slumber.
This is not a mere empty claim I'M
supported by facts The statement that
the dyspeptic can be cured is made on
the authority of thousands of men and
women. who have been entirely cured
