BELMoND's NEW HOTEL.
Opening of the Case Notable Occasion

Opening of the Case Notable Occasion
for the Town.
Special to Times Republican.
Belmond, June 1.-THE citizens here
are feeling good over the opening of the
Case Hotel. Altho as yet there has
been no formal opening, and some of
the outside work is incomplete. yet Mr..
Case thought it best to open some two
weeks ago and is already receiving a
nice patronage.
The hotel building is a three STORY
brick, with good basement, and will
cost when finished $4,000 The inside
arrangements give a big office, with a
handsome stairway to the second story.
The dining room occupies the entire
width of the house, with entrance from
the office.
The sleeping rooms are the equal of
any hotel in Iowa, and when it Is
known that Mr. Case bought the fur
riture of the Waldorf in Forest City.
az the close of the hotel war there, the
reader will see there is no exaggera-
ton in the statement. No finer bed :
steads and coverings and mattresses
are found anywhere. Furthermore.
each room is supplied with steam regis
ters, all the pipes being gilded. Then
each room has marble wash bowl,
with running hot and cold water at
tachments. The plumbing arrange
ments are fine all over the house. Bath
rooms and water closets are up stairs.
The carpets. both in the rooms and
Railways, are rich and expensive. In
fact it is a duplicate of what the Wal
dorf was in Forest City during its brief
career as the crack hotel of Iowa. Bel
mond now claims they have as good a
hotel as there is in Iowa, and Mr..
Cases former experience as landlord
comes In good play And travelling men
rejoice, as there is nothing to good
for u.s.

Collision on Illinois Central.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, June Yesterday a bad
head-en COLLISION occurred on the Hi
nois Central between Galena and Port
age. The second section of the fast
west bound freight No. SO crashed into
No. 80, wrecking both engines, ditching
about dozen cars and it is thought
fatally injuring Fireman Hart, of Free
port.
The trains came together about two
miles from Portage and were running
at a high rate of speed. According to
reports received here. it seems that all
the men except Fireman Hart escaped
by jumping and were only slightly
bruised. Hart, however, was caught in
the wreckage and terribly crushed. To
add to the awfulness of it, escaping
steam from the broken engines scalded
him terribly. He was taken to the nos
pital at Dubuque as quickly as possible,
but it is feared he can not survive. His
home is at Freeport, and he is a young
man, being but recent addition to the
road. His father, Andrew Hart, is well
known to railroad men here.

Bad Weather May Spoil the Com

Special to Times Repubncan.
Iowa City, June Tt is feared at the
University OF Iowa that the rains next
week may spoil the commencement
week. Most of the exercises will be
held this year in big circus tent erect
ed on the athletic field. The state has
rot provided the university with d
large enough building to hold its eXer-
cises in and hence the need of the tent.
The rains the past week have made the
grounds very soft at the athletic park
and pools of water are standing on the
field, due to the clogging Of the surface
drains. University officials are much
exercised over what would happen to
the 1902 commencement season should
it rain as much next week as predicted.
Rival weather prophets have been con-
suited to little consolation and even the
almanacs seem to forbode plentiful
fall of rain. The tent will be uncom-
Portable during rain and the students

rooms rather than sit in the tent dur
ing a big storm. President MacLean is

Charles City, June But ten days
remain of the Fourth district congress

conventions two have been held
Worth and Cerro Gordo. Worth in
structed for Its home candidate, Giiber.
N. Haugen, and Cerro Gordo did the
same for Duncan Rule.
1t is claimed that Professor William
Webster of Chickasaw county, will
have his county without any trouble,
altho his qualifications are being ex-
plotted at length by the democratic pa
pers of the county. He is being eXtolled
by the democratic papers as "a happy
solution etc.
All eyes are turned toward Howard
county to see what will result at the
torney H r. Reed, of that place, is be-
ing urged to enter the race. He is one
of the strongest lawyers of northern
Iowa and a war horse in the republican
party. If he should enter he is likely
to make trouble for the other two can
didates.
Reports from Fayette county in the
few caucuses already held are to the
effect that Duncan Rule is not faring
well, even tho Tom Way is managing
his campaign. Fayette county has thir-
ty votes. and should 1t go for Rule in
the convention Monday it will go long
ways towards his ultimate success. On
the other hand, should Haugen capture
Fayette his nomination will undoubt-

FLOODS DAMAGE CROPS.
Overflow of Rock River Causes Loss on
lowIands.

Special to Times Republican,
Clinton, June 7.-Destruction to the
growing crops on thousands of acres OF
land on the Rock river bottoms have
resulted from an overflow of Rock
river, which is on a rampage and now
covers thousands of acres of the best
farming land along that river. In
many places the water is from two to
four feet in depth and cattle and horses
Rave sought refuge on the higher
ground, in many places being sur
rounded with water. Highways have
been destroyed and bridges have been
washed out, causing damages to the
amount of thousands of dollars In some
places the river is five miles wide.
Naturally swift, it now flows at a
rapid rate, driving the water all over
the bottoms The ground is all under
cultivation, or in pasture and meadow.
and the farmers have lost practically
the entire years product, as it will be
too late to grow any crops after the
water subsidies. Considerable stock has
persisted, but no lives have been lost.

sour schools are evidently trying to
cover too much ground within a limited
time" Is the statement of Charles n.
Skinner, New York State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction. Our chill
dren are being hurried forward too
rapidly. They rush thru their studies
and often graduate too young"
This, from so eminent an authority
on education, adds weight to the argu-
ments advanced by the many parents
who see their children declining in
health under the strenuous system of
education now in vogue in most schools.
Boys and girls. at the time of life when
they should be strongest and healthiest,
too often complain of not feeling Well.
Children should not have headaches,
get easily tired nor suffer from sleep
fessness. But of late years these COM
plants are all too common. To take
such case as Is heard of every day,
Mrs. ]. L. Sutton, of Algona, Iowa,
says:
MY daughter Pearl studied hard at
her school work. She was listless and
irritable, grew tired upon the slightest
exertion and had very little color. We
thought she would outgrow it. but she
kept getting worse. Finally we had to
take her out of school entirely and the
doctor who attended her thought she
was going into consumption. Her lungs
were very sore and she raised consid-
cradle matter she always had a head
ache and her stomach. liver and kid
neys were in very bad condition.
eve didn't know what to do for her
and she continued to grow worse until,
upon reading a little book which was
left at our door, we decided to have her
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. In a little while after she began
using this remedy she was feeling bet
ter and, after continuing with it for
about four months. she was cured. She
is now a bright, healthy girl and we
recommend DR.. Williams Pink Pills to
every one whom we think would be
benefited by them"
Miss Sutton took the one unfailing
remedy for such affections and vas
cured. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People are unlike other medicines
because they act directly on the blood
and nerve. This makes them invalu-
able in such diseases as locomtor ajax
ia, partial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance.
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv-
GUS headache the after effects of the
grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and
sallow compilations and all forms of
weakness either in male or female. Dr.
