TURKEYS
ARE TO BE VERY SCARCE

Turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner
are going to be luxury both on ac-
count of scarcity and price. This con-
clusion is reached by buyers who
have made a canvas of the country
districts.
1t is estimated the turkey crop will
be one-half smaller than last year,
and that prices on the local market
around Thanksgiving time, when the
fowl is most in demand, Will be about
2 cents a pound higher than a year
ago.
At the present time 1879 cents II
pound is being bid for car lots, and
there are rumored sales as high as
IA. This is an unheard of price at
this time of year.
The turkeys which mostly come -
the Chicago market are grown main
" in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana
southern and western Ohio, central
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas. North
ern Indiana also contributes and the
Indian territory, Oklahoma, and Tex
as are coming to the front as turkey
producers, following the increase OF
agricultural pursuits.
In the southern states the crop"
has been ruined by drouth and short
age of grain crops last summer and
fall. These conditions compel farm
ers to sell. In the more northern
states, where the supply of food was
better, heavy spring rains killed off
the young turkeys as fast as they
were Matched.

NEWS OF RIVER.
An AutomobIle smash Up.

Excitement prevailed on Second
avenue this afternoon when an
automobile owned by j. Il. Davis. of
Davenport, came tearing up the
street at a fearful rate of speed. 1t
was soon evident that the occupants,
two well known young men of that
city, had lost control of the machine.
which, i'm turning u corner, coIlided
with telegraph pole with such force
as to be completely demolished, but,
strange to say, the young men who
were uninjured, jumped from the
wreck and ran as fast as they coui,l
up Second avenue, much to the sur
prise of all who saw the smashup. On
inquiry it was found that their wild
rush was to secure seats for "A Hus-
band on Salary" at the Illinois thea
tire Wednesday evening, Sept. 10.

THE GERMAN WAY.

Take pattern in your love affairs from
the young German bachelor.
His is the best course you can follow
When he finds himself falling in love
with some girl. his mother is his con-
fidant. and the affair soon becomes a
subject of family consultation.
His marriage is to be the greatest
event of his life. just as it is that of the
girl he marries. His very first aspira-
tons are to be as good a husband and
father as has been his own father
When he is married his wife is his
constant companion when he is not at
work
Touch your good German on the sub
ject of woman, and you Will find the
highest and most truly chivalric regard
for wOmankind the world has known
He is ready to protect her good name
always with his life. He would no more
think of insulting her with doubtful
remark than he would think of flying.
He would not dream of making love to
her unless he hoped to win her and
sanctify their love with marriage.
He shows his regard for her always
by consulting her in matters small and
great and displays his love by making
his wife the sharer of all his pleasures.
The family is the great central fact
in German life. Aspiration, pleasure.
love and thought all center there, and
to this more than anything else is the
wonderful vitality of the race due.

SOUR STOMACH (Aeid Dyspepsia
Now Recognized as the Cause of Ser
ious Diseases.

Acid DYSPEPSIA. commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach. is a form OF
indigestion resulting from fermentation
of the food. The stomach being too weak
to promptly digest it, the food remains
until fermentation begins, filling the
stomach with gas, and bitter. sour
burning taste in the mouth is often
present This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occur
renee is given but little attention. Be
cause Dyspepsia is not Immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
1t is now well known among able
physicians that the whole constitution is
gradually undermined and weakened,
seriously affected by any form of dys
pepsia. This is plain. as every organ.
every nerve in the body is nourished by
the blood and the blood is re2lenished
from the food digested If the food is
properly digested the blood is pure, the
nerves steady. but if supplied from I.
sour, fermenting, decaying mass the
blood is vitated, poisoned, and the re-
suit is shown in sleeolessness, lack of
energy, poor appetite, nervousness
Every trife is masnified and the dys-
peptic sees nothing but the dark side of
everything.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and it is now becoming rapidly used
and prescribed as radical cure for
every form of dyspepsia.
1t is not claimed to cure anything ex-
cept dyspepsia apd stomach weakness
in it's various forms. but for this it has
been shown to be unequalled- The emf
nent specialists. Reed and O'Ieary, have
recently stated that they considered
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets an unfailing
specific Cor disorders of the digestive
organs, and the remarkable cures made
in cases of long standing dyspepsia
proves that this remedy has extraordi-
nary merit
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
druggists everywhere at 80 cents per
package, and while it promptly and
effectually restores a vigorous digestion.

and will not iniure the most delicate

on having trained women nurses to care

MCGEE with her own hand drafted a
BILL which was laid before congress- to
provide for a corps of women nurses
henceforth. Congress passed the bill
promptly. President Mckinley as ever

it became law. The brilliant author of
it directed the policy and action of the
army women nurses corps till the close
of the Spanish American war, then quiz

NOT A LADY"

The arrangements of the new Eng
fish court and the abrogation of the
custom of kissing those who are pre-
scented will prevent the possibility of
any recurrence of such an amusing in
cident as happened at a drawing room
held by Queen Victoria. Two ladies of
the same name were presented to the
queen. One of them was the wife of a
peer, the head of a family, and the 9TH
er the wife of the younger brother. 1t
so happened that, it was the younger
woman who was presented first, and
the queen, hearing the name, bent for
ward to kiss her in the usual ceremonial
observed with a peers wife. The Off
cial who was in attendance on the
queen saw the mistake and whispered.
Don't kiss her, ma am; don't kiss her:
she is not a lady," to the extreme
amusement of all in the neighborhood.
This is, of course, "one of those things
which one should have said otherwise, -
for the unfortunate official did not
mean exactly what he said, his term
lady being used merely in its official
sense.
