Catarrh Poisons.

Catarrh il capable of changing all the
life-giving secretions Of the body into
scalding fluids, which destroy and in.
flame every part they come in contact
with. Applications to the places affect
ed by catarrh can do little good save to
soothe or quiet disagreeable symptoms.
Hence 1t is that gargles, sprays, atom
izers and inhalants only serve as tenn
porary relief. So long as the irritating
secretions of catarrh continue to be
formed 80 long will the membranes con-
tinue to be infamed, no matter what
treatment Is used.
There Is but one remedy that has the
desirable effect. and that remedy is

BEAUTIFUL EULOGY,

The following letter came to w. I.
Neagle on Saturday, and with his
permission The HERALD is glad to
reproduce this touching tribute to
deceased townsman by a former
editor:
Consulate of the United States, Mont
evideo, June 4, 1902.
Friend WiH Neagle: Ineed not tell
you how with deep sorrow we re-
ceived the news OF the death of our
good friend Father O'Carroll. When
l was home on leave / had long and
most pleasant meeting with him, and
in talking matters over he said: "I
shall not be here when you next
come home to see us, for my malady
is incursble." decried against any
such pessimistic notion, when he
said: That's all right, let US 60 right
along and do our duty and let the
Good Father have US in His gracious
keeping" Then he wanted to know
all that l could tell him about his
church as found it here, and was
both good listener and close ques-
tioner. AS you know, Father O'Car-
roll and myself had many .closelypleas
ant personal relations. We differed q
trifie ~ in matters political, as you
and others have knowledge; said
severe things to each other, face to
face like men, but there never was
any loss of personal respect one for
the other. You remember when we

UNITED BRETHREN

United Brethren, especially active
and growing in the middle west and
foremost among Protestant bodies In
getting into the Philippines and Por-
to Rico, are now seeking to establish
a church in Washington, following
therein endeavors to secure greater
strength in Washington because it is
the national capital of Roman Cath
olics, Episcopalians, and Methodists.
There is small but earnest congre-
cation of United Brethren in Wash
ington, and this congregation has a
greed to furnish plot free from debt
and $4,000. The church to be erect
ed upon the plot is to cost S25 900,
and appeals are being sent to United
Brethren everywhere to give this s15,-
600, on the ground that it is worth
while for the denomination to have a
strong congregation, we'll housed, in
the national capital. United Breth-
rem have, like Methodists, Baptists,
and Congregation alists, che conoen-
tration need before them. Talk is be-
ginning among their leaders that ed
ucational and missionary efforts
ought to be concentrated, to the se-
curing of greater results with less
outlay of time and mons5.

Circus Men Have a Good word FOR
This City.

The evening performance of the
RingliBg circus was quite largely at
tended and the excellent program of
the afternoon was repeated. The
show was taken from the city via the
Iowa Central to Maxon where the
trains. were turned over to the Burl-
ington and taken to Oreston where
they show today.
The bringing of the heavy trains
from Marshalltown Sunday morning
was accomplished with comparative
ease. Rumors had been in the air
that the Central could not get over
the new work with the3great cars.
There was some slow running be-
tween New Sharon and 0skaloosa as
do all trains since the improvements
have been in progress but no diff
Guilty was experienced in the moving
Of the trains. The freight carried by
the circus amounts to thirty thousand
tons.
Otto, Charles and Henry Ringing
were with the circus and AL, who has
been in Chicago, joined the others
here. Mr.. Otto Ringing in an inter-
view said some very nice things about
Oskaloosa. "Seversl years ago was
here with our show, and the work of
paving had just been commenced. I
told newspaper man at the time
that the paving would bring an In
crease of populstion to the city OF

of paving put in. believe that the
reporter quoted me in print. think
i see for myself here to-day the evil
dence of the fulfillment of that little
prophecy. Oskalooss is favorite

be here. There is an atmosphere of
home and comfort in this city that is
wholly wanting In so many places.
Your people appear prosperous and
happy. They are contented and such
a people must of necessity make q

REESE s CANDIDACY.

Marshalltown Times-Republica
The announcement of John P. Reese
as Democratic candidate for con.
gress in opposition to Major Lacey
has not caused serious alarm in the
Republican camp. There are between
1900 and 5000 miners in the district,
which has a Republican plurality OF
about 2, 500. Itis considered as highly
improbable that the miners can be
aligned solidly against Lacey. They
consider him a pretty good ''labor''
man himself and despite the prestige
which Reese's position as president
Of the Iowa Mine Workers gives him
Reese will be unable to hold the
miner vote in anything like its en-
tirety. Even il 1t were possible for
him to gain their undivided support
the business men and farmers OF the
district will still give Lacey the sup
port sufficient to elect by a fair ma
iority. The latest msve against Lacey
is in no wise new one. The opposi-
tion has always endeavored to carry
mineworker's strength against Re
publican candidates. These repeated
attempts have weakened the force of
the present movement and it is
scarcely likely that Mr.. Reese's can
didacy will largely cut down Mr..
Lacey's plurality this year.

LEADER TOO PROMINENT.

Isn't it about time that Geo. Rob-
erts or Harvey Ingham was taking
charge of the editorial and otht =
columns of the Register and Leader?
The Fret of the month we read in the
columns that Mr.. Roberts was in pos
session and that he and Mr.. Ingham, /,
would control it's columns and make
it q great Iowa paper. Since then
republicans and readers in this Sec
tion have been waiting patiently for
the fulfillmenu ofthose promises. Ia
the meantime they have been served
with the Same old slush that char
acterized the Leader, the same old
political interviews and opinions
originating and manufactured in that
Office and the same old "specials
written by and made to confirm with
the whims of the employe having so
much space to ill, and the same old
column after column of Des Moines
stnff detailing, at length the quibbles
and differences between citizens with
q view of belitthng one and eulogizing
the other. We surely miss the crisp,
sledge hammer lines of "Uncle Dick"
in the old Register, who knew no
faction, and whose client was the
whole republican party and the state
of Iowa; whose interviews were gen.
uine and whose special kilograms
we're authentic and not "made by
hand" in the Office of publication.
Roberts and Ingham owe it to Iowa
and to the republicans OF the state
that they give to the columns of the
Register and Leader their personal
attention and make it the strong re-
liable newspaper they have promised
and that it should be.

the idea that the Iowa congressional
delegation did not stand with the
president in granting tariff conces-
sion to Cuba. The Des Moines Capt.
tai calls attention to the fact that this
Is erroneous, as was stated by Captain
Hull in his speech accepting his nom-
ination. Says the Capital:
"The Iowa congressman and sena-
tors voted with the president every
time. They favor reciprocity with
Cuba and with every other country
where reciprocity can be intellectual
ly arranged. They stand with repub-

For centuries the Campanile has
held it's place as the most gracefully
beautiful structure in Europe. Sheer
three hundred feet it reared it's slen-

Italian sky, dwarfing all other build
ings near it. Built in sSS, 1t was re-
stored in 1929, provided with marble
crown in 1417, and in 1917 received
the figure of the colossal angel which
has since stood upon it's topmost
point. On the coping were four
bronze statues of Peace, Apollo,
Mercury and Pallas, while the en-
trance was through four huge bronze
doors, fully in keeping in beauty and
design and execution with the grace
and perfect proportions of the struc

The tower was 40 feet at the base,

point to have gazed over the laby-
