Wonder what has become of that
uprising5against Jno. F. Lacey that an
Oskaloosa paper was so f~rantically
predicting a short time ago. Every
county convention SO far heard from
has instructed for Lacey, and it is al,
most a cinch that there will not be a
dissenting vote in the congressional
convention to Mr.. Lacey's nomination.
This district has in Mr.. Lacey one OF
the best men in congress, and we are
not neal through with him yet.

"Road over Graves Explained.


An article appeared In the Daily
courier OF June y and COPIED IN the
Semi-Weekiy Courier OF June ~
headed Road over Graves, Whlch
needs a n explanation.
Early in October the women OF
kirkville and vicinity, to the number
OF over sixty, n almost all having
friends buried In the cemetery, form
ed an association Tor the purpose OF
managing, caring for and beaut1fying
the present cemetery and adding TO
as more ground was e
The name given was West View
cemetery, which is the same as the
old kirkville cemetery. When the
ground was decided to this association
1t was covered with weeds and BRAN
bles,the growth of over forty years. AS
soon as possible a sexton was employ
ed and work was begun. At the time
the injunction was hled the cemetery
grounds had experienced q wonderful
change for the better. Stones n
monuments had been Strengthened,
weeds, brambles and dead shfubbery
cleared out and the grass brought in
good condition under scythe and lawn
mower.
In regard to the road spoken of as
having been Established" the road
has always been used and graves have
been driven oyer for years. 1t was
the desire of the association that
these graves be removed before more
driving was done. No fences have
been taken down without permission
and only a fence between the old and
new ground removed. No shrubbery
removed in driveways.
At the last regular meeting the fol
lowing paper was handed to the pres
l1dent by Mayor McGlasson, to be read
before the association:
The citizens ask that the Cemetery
association relinquish all OF their as
sumed rights IN the old cemetery for
the reason that 1t was never contend
ed that any ones rights in the old
cemetery were OF could pc disturbed.

new fast schedule for it's Chicago-Den-

duce the time Of the RUIZ between

formation received this change is not
to be, made as a cut below the time
of the new schedule of the Northwest

the two roads in making this run to
practically the same figures.

The sum assessed against the city
as damages due the three property
owners affected in case the grade on
East Fourth street near Jefferson is
changed amounts in all to 1903. 80,
about twice as much as the city Off

there is every probability that the
work of changing the grade will not
be done on this account. Although
the council has taken no action with
regard to the matter as yet several OF
the members of that body have ex
pressed themselves in favor Of repeal
ing the ordinance passed Monday ev'

SAFEGUARD.
No Family Should Be Without It.

II ERUNA is a great family medicine.
t The women praise it as well as the
men: 1t is lust the thing for the many
little catarrhal ailments OF childhood.
The following testimonials from thank
full men and women tell in direct. sincere
language what their success has been IN
the use of Peruna in their families:
Louis j. Scherrinsky, l03 Locust street,
Atlantic, Iowa, writes:
3sI will tell you briefly what Peruna mas
dcne for me. I took a severe cold Whlcn
gave me hard cough. All doctors medl-
cines failed to cure it. took one bottle
of Peruna and was well.
"Then my two children had bad coughs
accompanied by gagging. Ny Wlie hao a
stomach trouble for years. She took Pe-
runa and now she IS well.
"I cannot express my thanks IN words,
but I recommend your remedy at every
opportunity, for l can conscientiously say
that there is no medicine like Peruna.
Nearly every one IN this town knew about
| the sickness of myself and family, and
they have seen with astonishment what
our example, and the result was health.
| Thanking you heartily, I am" - L. j.
| Scherrinsky.
! Mrs. Mamie Wallace, Tulare, Cal,
! ! President of the Western Baptist Mis-
sionary Society, writes:
! Il consider Pefuna an indispensable ar
ticle in my medicine chest. It is twenty
medicines in one, and has so far cured
every sickness that has been in my home
| for five years. I consider it of special
value to weakly women, as it builds up
the general health, drives out disease and
keeps you in the best of health. Mrs
Mamie Wallace.
Peruna protects the family against
coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, catarrl
Of the stomach, liver and kidneys. It il
just as sure to cure case of catarrh o.
the bowels as it is case of catarrh of the
head.

Connecticut avenue, Washington a
three-story brick structure of dozen
it cost, but hopes to make a profit by
selling before long. He and Mrs. Hoar
have boarded for thirty three years in

Senator Clark does not intend to build
a residence on the site of the old
Stewart castle which he purchased
some time ago. Finishing touches are

POPE DID NOT WANT NV GOWNS
Leo's Disinclination to Spend Money for

Leo's DIsinclination to Spend Money for
His Own Uses.
This story is told to illustrate the
pope's dislike of spending money on
himself: The other day Pho Centra,
his old and tried personal attendant,
opened the discussion while dressing
him in the morning, by remarklng
that his gown was not as new as II
might be. 'I suppose l have YOUR
holiness permission to order your
gowns for the jubilee?" he added.
"What gowns for the jubilee" re-
piled Leo XIII. sharply. Il have three
sets already, and certainly require no
more. Why should spend good
money for what l de not want?"
"But, holy father, protested Cen
ira, who knows his masters weak
ness, "suppcsing some one of the
great personages who are received by
your holiness should notice defect
such as this (pointing to an invisible
spot on one sleeve)? He might think
you had put on your old clothes, not
considering him worthy of the best"
After a pause Leo XIII. said with a
sigh: well, perhaps you are right.
Order them-but only one, mind you;
and my poor people will have to go
without so much bread. How dread
full to be obliged to spend SO much
money on ones clothes"
