MUM and actinium have never been
obtained in a sufficiently high degree
Of concentration to make their pres

by the evidence of radio-activity can
their existence be detected. The radio.
activity test is millions of times more
sensitive than chemical analysis, and
thousands of times more sensitive than

in which these properties have been de.

the fact that a poisonous alkaloid

which have grown about the surface

generally known to be poisonous, says
a scientific authority. When potatoes

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science mas
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrn. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the bic Il and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, aLd giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing it's work. The proprietors
have so much faith IA its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

C. Ar. ENCAMPMENT.
Next State Gathering Likely to
Come Here.

Marshalltown, June II "A special
dispatch from Des Moines to the
Times-Republican Gays:
1T is probable that oskaloosa will
get the next encampment of the
Grand Army OF the Republic, depart.
ment of Iowa, unless the theory pre-
walls that the encampments should
ever afterwards come to Des Moines.
The old soldiers of Oskaloosa are
making move thus early to secure
the encampment next year. They
have appointed committee to watch
affairs and keep in touch with the
council of administration, which body
decided when and where the en-
campments shall be held. At the en-
campment here there was general
sentiment in favor of having the en-
can pments of the future in Des
Moines because of its being in reach
of all parts of the state. But there
is no doubt that Oskaloosa would
entertain the veterans even better
than Des Moines, and it may go
there.D

Game Law.

Squirrel shooters are still in EVIL

and the authorities do not intend to

The oil fire at Beaumont was
a good advertisement for Beau
mont and it will be the same for
Jennings. People know that it
has oil, but after the wonder of
Beaumont, people were rather
disposed to think Of Jennings as
something on the small order
A few photographs of the Jennings
fire will satisfy the world that she
has struck oil and struc it on a
grand scale. The fire will be an
immense advertisement for the Jen.

barrels of oil be destroyed, there
are plenty more at the bottom OF
