Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends OF NJ A. Hogarty of Lexington
KY, when they saw he was turning
yellow. His skin slowly changed
color, also his eyes, and he suffered

Jaundice. He was treated by the best
doctors, but without benefit. Then he
was advised To try Electric Bitters, the
wonderful Stomach and Liver remedy,
and he writes: After taking two bot

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the lar
gest sale Of any medicine in the civil
lied world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Biiousness or lndiges-
ton. Doctors were scarce and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostratson or Heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation OF
.undigested food, regulate the action OF
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
and organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other
aches You only need few doses OF

THE SPECULATIVE AGE.

We have on table the prospectus of a com
pany organized in Maine for the purpose of colo
nlzing Honduras Not week passes that we do
not receive Similar pamphletrfrom companies or
gained TO transact business in locations situated
all the way from Alaska to Cape Horn and from
the Philippines to Porto Rico Perhaps these
companies organized with the most honest of
intentions and perhaps some Of them will succeed
but there is always large per cent of failure even
along the most conservative business lines and the
percentage must certainly be still larger among
these companies organized to do business at long
range. Denison now has many thousands of dol
lars invested in just such channels. Some of the
money has been expended by those who can lily
afford to lose while much has been invested by
those who have surplus funds which could much
better be spent in some safe, legitimate and sure
paying business in Iowa. 1t is all species of
gambling and many men who have never made a
bet in their lives and who hold up their hands in
horror at nickel in the slot machine are betting
against fortune in the hope of a twenty per cent
profit on their money If we ask these same peo-
pie to make sure six per cent investment in Den
ison how many there who will do it? While

ed here tor improvements of semi-public charact-

Within the last year millions have gone out of the
state with which home industries might have
been upbuded to the permanent benefit Of

shows that the vast majority have made their sue

thing we'll No business thrves so we'll through
agents and promoters as it does through personal

wildcat schemes. Some day the crash will come
and the people will lay it to the administration

Nine must lose to one who profits. 1t has been
the history Of every country and of every age. If
there is so much idle capital in Denison let it be

spirit Of the times and more than all the spirit
which prompts to invest in almost any other

There has been good deal Of talk about the &C.
ton of the executive council in assessing the rail-
roads of the state, but it is INDUCED IN by persons
not informed the subject, so preiudiced thatf
they will not tell the truth. Facts and a.scanlid
consideration of the whole subject can not fail to
convince the people that their interests have been
we'll looked after.
That our people may understand that their inter
ests have not been disregarded may be interest
ing to note. In 1860, Wheatland townships this
county, was assessed at 81 per acre. The entire
township could then have been bought at,an aver
age of So per acre. 1t was thus assessed at
seventy five per cent of its actual value. In 1879,
ten years later, it assessed at $500 per acre
fully fifty per cent of its actual value. In $780, it
was assessed at IS per acre. not to exceed fifteen
per cent of its value. The first assessment of rail-
roads under the law, was made in 1872 at,
which time the main line of the North Western
was assessed at So, 900 per mile. Between then
and 1899 it had been advanced to s1o 900 per mile
since which time it has been increased to s11,75o

TRANs-MIsslsslpPI CONGRESS
Elaborate Plans for Entertain
ment by the District.

From July l6 to 10, inclusive,
there will be in session in Cripple
Creek, Colorado. the twelfth an
nual session of the Trans Missis-
sippi Commercial congress This
to the great West aud to large
portion of the South is probabl
the most important meeting held
at any time, aside from the nation
al congress Questions of the
greatest Importance to the people
of the West and South will come
before it, questions that personally
interest all the people of one-half
of the union The congress is not
limited to any one question, but
can take up any economic subject
which affects the people of the
country. The reclamation of arid
lands and water storage for the
purpose is a subject which is daily
coming into more prominence, and
is proper subject for considera-
ton, and as all will allow, a very
important one The relation of
the mining interests of the country
is another subject of great impor-
tance. fhe adaptation of the
higher lands to certain agricultural
pursuits and many other questions
which might be enumerated.
There is not business man or
woman in the part of the country
mentioned, in fact in any part of
the country, that is not interested.
The congress occurs in July,
which is the hot season in most
states, but happens to be the de-
lightful season on the top of the
mountains where Cripple Greek is
situated A pleasanter p ace, in
fact. no other such pleasant place
can be found at that season.
