Axes & sigler's Horse Sale.

There was very large attendance at
the regular monthly horse sale held by
Axes & Sigler in this city last Saturday,
and bidding was very lively as there was
in addition to several hundred farmers
quite a number of horse. buyers from
Chicago, ST. Joe and other cities. There
were SO head sold by Auc,ioneer Nc
Mains who did not dwell but sold them
as fast as they were brought into the
ring. Prices were pretty good running
up to $3.50 head, and everyone who
had horses in the sale was we'll satisfied.
One OF the principal buyers was. Billy
Elder, the well known Chicago horse
buyer who bought car load of extra
good ones and paid the biggest prices.
These monthly sales Of Axes & Sigler's
are increasing in interest and the one
last Saturday had an unusual number of
good horses in it. They will hold sale
on the last Saturday of each month and
now that they have succeeded in inter-
esting horse buyers from the cities it is a
sure thing that there will be plenty of
buyers here at all future sales. Re-
member they will have another sale the
last of November and if you have any
horses to sell book them early so they
can be advertised. 1t costs you very
little to have your horses sold at their
sale.

Ofthe millions of people, who today suffer
from nervous OF heart weakness, a large per-

LaGrippe. 1t is a germ disease, and makes
a direct attack upon the nerves, putting an
extra strain upon them at the time their vital

left you with shattered nervous system, with
loss of appetite, lack of energy, insomnia,
frequent headaches and morbid tendencies,
you should strengthen the weakened nerves

The Possibilities Developed.

The success of the Disc type of Graph.
ophone which uses fiat, indestructible
records, is largely due to the fact that
the Columbia Phonograph Company.
pioneers and leaders in the talking ma.
chine art, has developed the possibili-
ties in both the machines and the
records beyond all expectations. It
was able to do this because it is the only
company in the talking machine field
having a complete laboratory and a
manufacturing plant on broad and com.
prehensive basis. Its facilities for ex.
Fermentation and for manufacturing
are on very large scale. 1t does not
have to rely on inexperienced manu-
facturers for any part Of the product it
offers for sale. 1t makes its own ma.
chimes and its own records from start to
finish which is a fundamental advantage
of the first magnitude.
The Disc Graphophone is made in
three types, selling at SIS, $40 and $50.
Seven inch records SOC each, SIS per doz.

j. N. Gorsuch Says he Knows he
Can't Live. Doesn't Want to
Go to Heaven.

j. M. Gorsuch, of Riley township, was
in Mt. Ayr last Thursday shaking hands
Withhold friends and taking in the races
at the fair grounds. For several years
Mr.. Gorsuch has been sorely afflicted
with cancer on his left cheek. Every.
thing that medical science could accom-.
plish has been tried in his case, but evil
IDENTIFY without success. Mr.. Gorsuch
has spent several thousand dollars for
treatment, and was recently at Kansas
City and indianapolis consulting spe-
cialists in the treatment of cancer.
They gave him no hope of final recov.
cry, and MIR. Gorsuch knows that it is
will kill him.
Despite the suffering he endures. Mr..
Gorsuch is still cheerful and looks Oh
the bright side Of life. When asked how
he is, he invariably replies: ~ never
felt better in my life," and generally
acd', ~ know am going to die, but /
don't want to go to heaven"
After returning from Kansas City,
Mr.. Gorsuch made large sale and dis
posed of most of his cattle and hogs,
All of his stock was not sold and it will
be necessary to have another sale before
his business can be entirely Strengthened
up. He is the owner of nearly d thou.
sand acres of land in Riley township,
and has long been one Of the prosper.

The Work of the American Sunday
School Union in Decatur
.COunty.

During the vacations, the American
Sunday School Union employs students
from the colleges and semlnaries to work
as Sunday-School missionaries. These
workers aim to plant q Sunday school
wherever possible. To do this often
means many miles travelled and many
families visited. They seek out and
bring together those already interested
in Sunday school work aud stimulate
them to more active service. By secur-
ing preaching services for places without
that privilege. the permanancy of the
work is more fully insured.
The A. S. S. U. works chiefly in the
rural districts where it is usually more
difficult to maintain christian work.
AS many of these workers report. The
people are anxious for religious work to
be established but there is lack of
christian leaders. The "shut-ins" and
the "shut-outs" or those who for vari-
GUS good reasons cannot attend Sunday
school where they live, are provided for
by the Correspondence Home Depart
ment which sends the lessons each week
to the homes.
The Union employed during 1902, Mr..
A. E. Danley to work as s. S. missionary
in Decatur County, He organized s
schools and recognized 2, bringing
Sunday school privileges to over 300
persons. AS he personally visited 696
families he was able to encourage at
tendance at the already existed schools
and by means of Is sermons or addresses
given, he aided other schools. To
travel nearly 600 miles means much
work and he also distributed 6 bibles
and testaments. He has knowledge Of
few conversions. He has been given
opportunities of bringing comfort to the
sorrowing and for encouraging the faint
hearted and discouraged. He reports
these facts as only some Of the results
Of the work in Decatur county, but the
spiritual value of the seed sown by this
worker can be estimated only by the
Lord of the harvest.
We ask you to examine the work of
the American Sunday School Union not
only in its reports, but in the fields
where the missionaries labor. 1t will
not then be necessary to suggest that
you give this society warm place in
your heart, or that you generously re-
member it IN your contributions to the
Lord g cause.
Scattered throughout the United
States are 100000 boys, girls and
youths not attending Sunday school.
Even in Iowa, S. S. workers are finding
people who have never been inside of a
church or attended Sunday school.

Southwestern Iowa Editorial Asso.
citation Meets at Charlton. g

The semi-annual meeting of the souths
western Iowa Editorial Association was
held at Charlton last Friday and most
delightful time was enjoyed by about
forty of the editors. The program was
q novel one and consisted of papers by
gentlemen of note none OF whom were
members of the association. Among
those who addressed the meeting were,
A, w. Lee, the very successful editor OF
the Ottumwa Daily Courier, his paper
being ''A Newspaper Man and HIS BUS
iness.'' His paper was discussed with
pleasure and profit bv many OF those
present. G. Logan Payne, of the ad'
yertisipg agency of Payne q Young,
Chicago. made an excellent address on
elbow to Get Advertising. MIR. Payne
is one of the bright young advertising
experts who has had wide experience
in this line and his address was an eye.
opener to many. P. S. Eustis, general
passenger agent of the great Burlington
Route was on the program, but tele-
gram was received saying it was lmpos-
sible for him to be present. In the eve
ming Mr.. Charles Painter OF the adve1-
Using agency of Fulford, Painter. &
Tobey, Chicago read an excellent paper
on s.Successful Advertising" and he
knows what it is for he is one of the
most successful advertising agents in
the field. Mr.. Painter like Mr.. Payne is
an Iowa man, having been the founder
of the Des Moines Daily News and con-
Quoted it with great success tor num-
Der of years.
The editors were entertained during
their stay in Charlton by the Noxall
Climb who rendered the use of their
rooms, and at the close of the after
noon session the newspaper men were
given drive over the city. Charlton
has been making rapid strides in the
past few years, especially in the num-
Der CT modern dwellings that have been
constructed and 1t is the equal in this
respect of any town in southern Iowa.
At the evening session there was
delightful musical program which was
arranged under the direction of Mrs.
Jessie Thayer,in which the best Of Chair.
toms musical talent participated. 1t
was followed with refreshments and a
smoker ended the day until train time.
The next meeting will be held at
Glenwoo6, there being a warm contest
between Abba and Glenwood for the
honor. These meetings are of great ben
eft to the members OF the press and if
more of them would take the time to
attend they would find that their work
would be made all the easier, for you
can always learn something of advant-
age at each meeting.

A new thing in the growing of corn
was attempted by w. S. Stacy, farmer
residing near Marshalltown, with what
he claims are remarkable results. The
corn was planted May II, after having
been treated to a course of electric light
plant at Marshaltown. MIR. Stacy filled
barrel with corn and water, placing a
piece Of zinc at the bottom and one on
top. Five hundred volts of electricity
were then turned on and continued
twenty minutes. The corn was then
thoroughly dried and ten acres planted
with drill. The corn averaged eight
feet il height 1t was planted on high
land that had been planted to corn for
nine consecutive years. Mr.. Stacy says
the yield will be not less than seventy
bushels to the acre. His theory is that
microbes are killed by electric treatment
and the germ is not injured in any way.
