RECOMMENDATIONS.
In this state many questions of in
terest confront us. The question OF
primary election reform is probably
attracting as much attention or more
than any other but it is to be discussed
later in the program by one who has
made it special study, we will pass il
by.
ROADS.
The question of poor roads we have
always with us. have yet to see a
body of any considerable number of
farmers who were agreed upon the rold
question. Some, large number in
fact, among the farmers, wish the pres
emit system continued, saying that the
law is all right if it was only enforced
and lived up to. Others say that law
that has been on the statute books a
couple of score of years and never has
been enforced satisfactorily, never will
be and that some more practical method
should be substituted. At present we
admit that most farmers hardly feel the
direct tax which is levied upon them to
maintain the highways but they do feel
an indirect tax which we pay in cutting
through mud and dust, which we do
not fully appreciate until we once en-
joy the privilege of really good road.
Speaking generally, the roads in this
state are not satisfactory, the present
system entails lot of misapplied en-
ergy and lot of energy that is not APP
piled at all. A way must be devised
that will result in systematic, efficient
work upon our country roads before
generally satisfactory condition will
exist.
SCHOOLS
In some states the district school has
been replaced by rural high school as
it is called and the change seems to give
satisfaction to all concerned The time
will not permit me to go into details
but let me suggest that we study the
road question and the school question
in fair, unprecedented way. The pres
emit system of road making and our
rural school system were not God given
but were the creation of men many
years ago, and if there is better way
for the same money let's have it At
the same time let us make very care
full study of the questions so that should
q step be decided upon in either case it
will surely prove step in the right
direction.
TAXATION,
A few years ago things were different
than we find them to-day. From the
year 1893 to 1897 it was no trouble to en-
list any mans attention ia the matter of
reforms along the line of economy.
To-day the farmer has not the time nor
the inclination, or for some other
reason he lacks the interest that he
took in such matters during the period
mentioned The interest in the matter
Of equal taxation, or more nearly equal
taxation, held up well and am sure

Only
One Key
That Fits

We have found that nearlyall the
general medicines that are popular
seek first to promote appetite and
help digestion, then to apply
needed elements which almost all
ailing people require.
Probably iron is the most inn
portant of these needed elements,
yet it is very hard to give iron SO
it will do any good.
There are thousands of keys in
the world - only one or two I'M
lock your door. So we know
of only one or two combinations
Of iron that seem to do the work.
By far the most generally useful
prescription we know of is Vinol.
We mention this by name, because
we know what it is made of, how
it is made, and how wonderfully
helpful it has been in numerous
cases in this very town.
Vinol contains the medicinal
qualities of cod liver oil, iron-that-
can-be-digested, and a little table
wine. It is pleasant to take, and
we have so much faith in it that
we will sell a bottle to anyone
suffering from loss of appetite, a
rundown condition, tendency to
colds, or to weak women and pale
children, ETC., and cheerfully give
you the money back if it does not
help you.

Des Moines Man Gets a Woman GU,
Of Jail and Marries Hcr-Hender-
son Library at Upper Iowa
University Dedicated.

Miss Riley decided that she would
rather marry than stay in the county
Jail at Des Moines for a year and &C.
cepted the hand of George M. Compin,
a butcher, the prosecution of whose
suit was attended by many difficulties.
Miss Riley was convicted of vagrancy
and sent to the county Jail for year
by Judge Silvara. After her incarcer
alton, Compin finally induced the court
to agree to free the woman if she could
be persuaded to marry him. Compin
made three proposals before he was
accepted, the offers in each instance
being sent by note to Miss Riley's cell.
The first two were peremptorily re.
fused by Miss Riley. who said, in eff
feet, that she would stay in Jail long
time before she would marry any one.
The third time Compin brought the
marriage license and sent it down in
his note to his prospective bride. This
evidence of devotion touched Miss Ri
ley's heart. She relented and agreed
to take Compin "for better or for
worse" The ceremony was perform.
ed by Mayor Brenton, who, after kiss.
ing the bride and declining to accept
any fee for his services, treated the
friends who had witnessed the cere.
mony to cigars.

s.ved BY HI. Sister.

Judge Blair has suspended sentence
In the case of George James, who
pleaded guilty at Waterloo to the
charge of embezzling $500 of the Rath
Packing company's money. The judge
did as much for the sake of sister
OF the prisoner as he did Oh account
of the young man. This was James
first offense, and his attorneys entered
a plea for ckmency on the grounds
that the young man has always borne
a good reputation. The sister, who re.
sides at Omaha, took an interest in
the case to the extent that she REIN.
bursed the bond company, which made
good the loss to the employers OF
the young man. She has also taken
James to her own home where sha
will lend him all the assistance she
can in securing employment and en-.
couraging him in living down this
mistake. He is placed under $500
bonds pending good behavior.
