speeding his Loco mobile up and down

as good control as the old family horse

his friends out and have them enjoy
a ride on this horseless contrivance
He thinks the day is not far distant
when the horse will do little work

Mr.. Henry of Des Moines agent for
the Art Metal Construction company
of Jamestown, New York, was here
recently for the purpose of taking mea-
surements for the steel stacks, or book
frames, for the new library. The cost
of the stacks will be $3.50, and of course
they will be of handsome pattern. Mr..
Henry is. an expert in his knowledge
of library buildings and equipments.
He says this building is the best for the
cost in the state. The stone work he
spoke of in terms of the warmest COM
mendation, saying that it was far SUI
perior to that in the Carnegie Hender-

to that of most buildings of the kind

The public sale at Mr. Fon's on the
Hughes farm on the 18th drew a large
crowd and just such interested and
spirited bidding as an auctioneer loves
to secure. Horses sold we'll, the first
sale being one hundred and fifty dol
lars, with others following close after
Cows sold as high as thirty nine dol
lars. There We're corn men present who
meant business as the spirited bidding
manifested. Corn sold by the wagon
load, an inch counting for bushel of
corn. This went at thirty-seven cents
per inch. There was not enough to go
half way around. Hogs sold away up
in the upper current as to speak. The
farmers are very short on young pork
ers and are determined to have them
at any price. Such figures as eight to
ten dollars for a one hundred pound
pig We're paid while others brought
nearly twenty dollars piece.

NOBODY is EXEMPT.
New Preparation Which Every One
Will Need Sooner or Later.

Will Need Sooner or Later.
Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and the common
asst thing they do for 1t is to take
sme one of the many so-called blood
urifiers, which in many cases are
slierely strong cathartics. Such things
are not needed. If the organs are in
clogged condition, they need only lit
tie help and they will right themselves
Cathartics irritate the sensitive Innings
OF the stomach and bowels and often do
more harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in condl-
ton to be readily digested and assimi-
lated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
this perfectly. They partly digest what
Is eaten and give the stomach just the
help 1t needs. They stimulate the Sc
erection and excretion of the digestive
fluids and relieve the congested condi-
ton of the glands and membranes.
They put the whole digestive system in
condition to do its work. When that is
done you need take no more tablets,
unless you eat what does not agree with
you. Then take one or two tablets
give them needed help and you will

Rural Mail Carriers Will Dis.
cuss the Question at jan
uary Meeting
FAVOR STATE ROAD COMMISSION
The LOO Rural Carriers Favor the
Creation of Such Commission to
Have General Supervision of Con-
struction of Highways as in Eastern
States.
pecial to Times-R Republican.

Special to TfmeS-RepuDDcan.
/ Des Moines, Dec. 26 - The sceonc
annual convention of the Association
of Rural Mail Delivery Carriers OF
| Iowa will meet here January l at the
/ Gladstone hotel, and will continue FOL
| two DAYS. The convention will be ad-
dressed by Governor Cummins and
LATE Young.
The probabilities are that consid-
cradle portion of the time of the con-
vention will be devoted to the discus
sion of a proposed bill creating state
road law. The mail carriers are mucn
interested in this problem and with
their ]. 100 members in Iowa, reaching
over 100 times that number of voters
each day, are In position to create a
hearty sentiment in favor of any meas
IRE that may be Endorsed by their con-
vention.
It is understood that they are de-
sirous that the legislature enact law
creating a state road commission 10
have general supervision OF the con-
struction of all highways outside OF
cities and towns in the state. II Is
proposed that instead or county ana
township road levies that the legisla-
ture authorize a county levy OF not TO
exceed a stated amount in each county,
and that this be expended by dfrec-
ton of a county road supervisor to be
elected either by the people or by the
boards of supervisors, and who shaii
be a practical engineer and whose duty
1t shall be to supervise the expendl-
ture of the annual road funds OF the
several counties in the construction OF
roads that must be built on plans ap-
proved by the state road commission.
Laws similar to this have been en-
acted in Massachusetts, New Jersey
and In some of the southern states
with the result that those states are
fast coming to have the best rural
road systems in the world.
In Iowa the road building branch of
the civil government is now divided
into two branches. There is no pro-
vision for a township road levy to be
expended under direction of the SUI
pervisors. The two departments hardly
ever work in conjunction with each
other. They are not managed by prac-
tical road builders and because of the
division of the funds into township and
supervisoral districts and between the
two departments 1t is almost impos-5
sible to make betterments and at
times it Is difficult to make necessary
repairs. With the concentration OF
funds and the executive branch under
one management 1t is argued that
within very short time Iowa could
be provided with system of roads
that could be travelled with heavy loads
at all seasons of the year, and that
would result in very materially adj
vancing the value of farms.
One OF the strongest arguments urg-
ed in favor of the state system where
it has been used is the direct benefit
farmers have derived in increased val
ues of farm lands because of better
trans portation facilities provided.

His Last Hope Realized.

(From the Sentinel, Gebo MONTH
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim he encoun-
tered much bad water, which, togeth-
er with the severe heat, gave him a
very severe diarrhoea which it seemed
almost impossible to check and along
in June the case became SO bad he ex-
pected to die. One day one of his
neighbors brought him one small bot
tie of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea remedy as last hope.
A big dose was given him while he
was rolling about on the ground in
great agony, and in few moments
the dose was repeated. The good ef-
feet of the medicine was soon noticed
and within an hour the patient was
taking his first sound sleep for fort
night. That one little bottle worked
a complete cure and he. cannot help
but feel grateful. The season for bow
ell disorders being at band suggests
this item. For sale by Jos. Bennett.
