quarters here In the absence of Presi-

trust reaches such proportions that the
Federation of Labor is forced to come
in and protect the recognized rights of
organized labor continued Mr.. Morri-
SON. President Gompers undoubtedly
will call the executive council of the
federation together to take all meas
ures necessary. The afiliated organiza-

have the right to call on the federation
for moral and financial assistance"
The executive council consist of Pres.

Lennon of Bloomington. Ill. and Vice
President James Duncan of Boston,
John Mitchell of Indianapolis. James

The organizations afiliated with the

complete autonomy as to such action.

HARKEN YE.
o the Voice of aIarshailsown


People.
If you will but listen to your friends
and neighbors, they will tell you how
the pains and aches of bad back, the
annoyances of urinary troubles. the
nervousness, the restlessness which
come from kidney Ills can be relieved
andl cured. Read what one Marshall-
town citizen says:
Mrs. Charles f. Breckel, of 100 West
Main street, says: Il am very thankful
that ] learned about Doan's Kidney
Pills. Besides my own experience i have
that of a sister and a friend. Had the
results obtained been confined to only
one there might be grave doubts about
the merits claimed. But when the three
of us were benefited we are compelled to
become endorsers. am convinced that
many ladies suffer from some obscure
kidney trouble which pulls them down
without their realizing the cause of the
dull heavy feeling, the languor, the de-
preston and the extreme fatigue which
exists after the least exertion. and l
thoroughly believe, should they use
Donn's Kidney Pills. they would be re-
.lieved of their disertess. My sister and
my friend who resides in Des Moines
are even more enthusiastic over the
wonderful curative powers of Doan's
Kidney Pills than I. My advice to every
resident of Marshalltown who suffers
form kidney complaint is to procure
Doan,s Kidney Pills at Mcbride s.
Wills drug store, take them according
to directions and the results will inev-
iitably follow"

--Your Old Home.


We're looked into by request. Sound
advice and some assistance was given
but with the best of intentions the so
ciety could work no lasting benfits.
BY request of the brother of the vic
tim, the Kangaroo court" was made
the subject of an investigation, which
resulted in a complaint to the mayor.
We quote from the society's record as
follows: He (the mayor) expressed
his surprise at the occurrence, as he
had given orders not to have such
things done. Having laws to meet all
cases. the chief of police has no more
right to assault person than any
other citizen would have. The society
strongly urged the mayor to stop the
abuse, and will prosecute any officer
who In future abuses his Office by such
treatment of prisoners"
All in all, the society has been a
power for good in this community.
whose Importance can not be estimated
too highly. 1t will continue to grow in
usefulness and works of mercy as 1t
receives the support of all right think
ing. truly humane members of the COM
munity. Every good citizen ought to
give this work his support and as
sistance. Every man and woman in
the city who realizes the Importance
and benefits of the work done during
the past six months should do some-
thing toward strengthening the or
ganization. The best manner in which
this can be done is by calling at the
secretary's Office and placing your
name upon the membership roll. With
several thousand good citizens enrolled
as members of the society and inter-
ested in its work, how much suffering
could be relieved, how many children
could be redeemed. 1t is work that
benefits and elevates the, workers as
well as those who are helped.

Grinnell, Oct. 1.-THE danger of u
water famine is past. The pumps are
again working nearly the full twenty
four hours and altho there is but four
feet of water in the stand pipe, there
will be no dearth of water. About a
week ago when the pump was being
taken out for some minor repairs the
chain holding the pipe broke off and the
almost three thousand pounds of pipe
fell distance of about forty feet in
the we'll. This pipe, nearly $50 feet
long, was broken into four pieces and
these had to be secured and raised from
the well by means of graphing chains
and hooks. All but one piece was se-
cured and that was left at the bottom,
as 1t was but a short piece and would
in no way interfere with the working of
the pump This joint will be removed
at some later time. The work on the
new we'll will doubtless be begun in
earnest in week or SO as word has
been received that the pipe for which
the contractors have been waiting is
shipped and on the way. When work
is begun again 1t will be pushed night
and day until the well Is completed.

Mr.. Charles Gardner bears dis
tinction which is the privilege of but a
possible one or two in this country to
share with him. In the year 1851, just
about fifty years ago, Mr.. Gardner
sailed to England with his father. who
was skipper of merchant vessel. BY
chance this vessel touched at the city
of Cowes in the Isle of Wight On
the day they made port the first inter-
national yacht race came Off and Mr..
Gardner saw it from start TO finish.
He remembers not so much the details
of the race itself as the lusty cheering
of the sailors of his fathers vessel
when they learned that the American
yacht was victorious. And this was
the first winning of the cup. Many have
seen 1t defended since, but few of those
now living saw 1t won for the first
time.
