THE COURSE AT AN END.
Y. M. c. A. Course Closes With Leland
r. Powers, Impersonator.

T. Powers, Impersonator.
The last number of this seasons 7.
NJ. c. A. course was given Monday eve
ming at the M. =. church, when Leland
T. Powers impersonated light drama
of ten characters in three acts. Lord
Chumley" is pretty play of strong
dramatic interest. Powers reputation
as an impersonator has long been
made, he having been a prime favorite
in the lecture bureau course for years,
but his work Monday evening was q
disappointment to many who had
heard him before. or who had heard
other stars in the same line. Mr.. Pow
ers appeared at great disadvantage
because -of severe cold which had
forced him to cancel his engagement
for Saturday last and which should
have laid him up for week or so.
In attempting to impersonate a play
Of ten characters without makeup OF
costume an impersonator undertakes a
heavy part. In this effort Mr.. Powers
gave an inimitable representation of
the English butler, but his Lord Chum-
ley was not SO strong and his illness
prevented the wide range Of voice and
lively action necessary to give true pic
lures of the women. However. he has
chosen play Of intense dramatic in
terest and gave his audience an eve
ning's entertainment different from all
most all that they had ever enjoyed.

board for the purpose of trying to in
duce the board to sell them to his firm
at private sale. The board was unani-
mously in favor of putting the bonds
on the market at competitive sale. in
hopes of obtaining a better rate of in

very good proposition, offering to re-
fund them at 4 per cent, pay $3.50 pre-

GEN CURTIS PLEASED.

Says Soldiers Home Was Always a
&c cd One But is Still Improving.
Gen. N. NJ. Curtis, of Ogdensburg, N.
tional homes for disabled volunteer SOL
diers, concluded his semi-annual in
spection of the Iowa home last evening
and left at night for Milwaukee to con-
duct the inspection of the national
home at that point. Before leaving the
city Gen. Curtis said: This home has
always been a god one, but 1t is inn
proving right along. l find things in
excellent shape. The appearance of the
mems clothing, which | guess you know
is my hobby, is better than when last l
visited the institution. With all Of the
Improvements l find that all the time
the cost is being lessened, which is a
very gratifying showing to all con-
cerned. l am exceedingly well pleased
with the hospital, where everything is
clean and wholesome. The food in all
departments is good. Iowa is good
state, and q rich state, yet l don't be-
lieve ten per cent of the Iowa people
live as well as do these old soldiers at
the Iowa home. Yet you hear the peo-
pie talk of the poor, old soldier. who
doesn't get anything to eat. The peo-
pie outside do not comprehend what
the Iowa Soldiers Home is"
The semi-anual inspection, just con-
Quoted, is one of the most important af-
fairs that occurs at the Home. On it is
based the Appropriation of the govern
ment in it's per capita of 500 paid an
nally to the state for the maintenance
of the veterans actually present.
After the completion of his present
trip Gen. Curtis will be thru with the
spring inspections. He came here from
Quincy, where he inspected the ILL.,
nois state home. After his visit to the
Milwaukee national institution he will
go to Waupaoa, to inspect the Wiscon-
sin state home. and from there to Grand
Rapids to the Michigan state home.

Your Decision This Day is
All-Important.
Paine's Celery
Compound
Guarantees a Freedom from
Disease and Sickness.
INDIFFERENCE AND CARELESS
MESS LEAD TO PHYSICAL SHIP
WRECK AND THE GRAVE.

The weak, ailing, sick, and diseased
have now more than ever before unoer
their control their physical condition.
They are free agents, and almost Who'll
" responsible for their future. When
the brain is not affected and the mind
can discern between right and wrong,
a duty to themselves, their friends and
country loudly demands marked de-
cision-prompt and determined action
when health is impaired and life is in
danger.
1t is the part of wisdom that true
decision be made today; tomorrow may
be too late. In thousands of cases the
checking and Punishment of disease de-
ponds upon instant action; an hour iost
frequently means the snuffing out OF
some precious life.
Few people in our country are With
out some knowledge of the wondrous,
life giving virtues of Paine's Celery
Compound, medicine that guarantees
release from the diseases common to
life.
What will your decision be today,
poor sufferer? Will you give Paine's
Celery Compound the fair and honest
testing that others are giving it, with
It'd, certain reward of health, strength
vigor, or happiness, or will you remain
Indifferent and careless, content to pass
your few days or weeks in misery, ag-
ony, and wretchedness untili the dark
grave claims you as its victim?
It is almost needless to enumerate
the blessed results that flow from
Paine's Celery Compound when used
promptly in springtime, as you and
your friends have a knowledge of them.
or this you may be assured; the seeds
OF disease are banished, the system is
fortified, the blood Is made red and
pure, the nerves braced digestion reg
guiated, headaches, sideaches, and back
aches forever dispelled, and sweet rest
full sleep takes the place of insomnia.

Better Than Pills

The question has been asked. TN
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to pills 2"
the answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take. more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable, as
they can always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and invigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in a
natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation. For sale by

says:
1T is reported that the Milwaukee is
about to sell it's track from Sigourney
to Ottumwa to the Iowa Central. thus
giving that road a route into this city
which it had long wanted. This would
bring the abandonment of the right-of-

is part of the rumor that the Milwau
