Keokuk March 6.-The river broke
up yesterday afternoon and the ice
started out at Keokuk. The passage of
the ice was so gentle that there was no
damage and at no time any danger
from the breakup. The ice started In
earnest early in the afternoon and
large open spaces appeared. The ice
below went rapidly. but the bridge held
a good deal of 1T above the piers. Last
evening the water was open opposite
the upper part of the city. but from the
bridge to point half mile above
there was a large foe extending from
the Illinois shore almost to the dump
separating the river from the govern
ment canal.
The steamboat men expect a good
season on the river. 1t is believed that
the river will be open to navigation
soon now. as 1T is predicted that 1t will
open thru to Lacrosse without much
delay.
All the owners of the boats have put
their vessels in good shape for the
coming season. They say that the out
look is favorable to a large passenger
and freight business. The short line
packets which now run the river from
Quincy north seem to be doing special
ly we'll OF late years, and thye are ready
for big trade in the coming summer.

Cedar Rapids March 6.-Physical
Director Fisher has returned from OF
tumwa, where he attended the meeting
OF the physical directors Of the Iowa
associations for the purpose OF deter
mining whether the state meet should
be held this year or not. 1t was origi-
nally intended to hold it at Des Moines
but it was necessarily postponed, and
1T was then intended to arrange for a
contest in Cedar Rapids. AT the OF
tumwa meeting only four associations
were represented: Burlington, Keokuk
Cedar Rapids and Ottumwa. Keokuk
and Ottumwa favored abandonment Of
the athletic contest this year, while
Burlington and Cedar Rapids favored
it. In view Of this division it was
deemed best to dispense with the meet
ing. An Ottumwa paper said of the
conference:
burlington and Cedar Rapids were
both bidding for the meet and the
physical directors of these cities were
present at the conference yesterday,
but after a careful consideration of the
matter from every standpoint it was
decided that it would be the best for
all concerned to hold no contest this
year. Teams from Burlington. Keo-
kulS, Cedar Rapids and Des Moines had
signified an intention to take part in
the contest, which has been a feature
for some years past, and had been in
active training for several weeks in
preparation for the event

inhalers. and nearly all Of these gave
a temporary relief, but genuine per
manent cure was very rare.
It is true the most annoying symp-
toms. like stoppage of the nose and
throat trouble, are purely local. but
they are simply symptoms ana the
real seat of disease is far removed
Catarrh is constitutional disease, q
blood disorder, complicated usually
with disease of the liver, and to sup
nose that local applications of sprays,
nowders. inhalers could ever reach the
real cause of the trouble is ridiculous.
The sensible and successful treat
ment is to remove the catarrhal poison
from the system by regulating the liver
and purifying the blood, and this can
only he done by an internal remedy,
which should consist of antisephcs ana
remedies to act vigorously on the blood
and liver.
The best preparation of this KIND
which fills all the requirements OF
safe constitutional treatment is Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets, composed OF
Blood Root. Red Gum and similar
wholesome antiseptics, which are ao-
solutely safe to take into the stomach
and which act upon the nHer. stomacn
and mucous membrane.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges to be slowly
dissolved in the mouth. thus reaching
the mucous membrane and wfnd-pipe
and finally reaching the stomach.
DR.. Edmondson, in speaking of the
new treatment for catarrh, says: Il
have accomplished the most satisfact-
DRY results In all form OF cataarrh of
the head, throat, bronchial tubes. as
we'll as cataarh of the stomach and
liver by using nothing else but Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets. I long since
threw aside sprays and inhalers as
being inconvenient and at the best
mere temporary make shifts"
"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets act i'm
mediately upon the liver and blood and
clear the whole system Of catarrhal
poison. They are pleasant and very
convenient to use, and they are not
only the latest, but believe them to
be the best and certainly the safest
treatment for any form of catarrh."

Tablets at so cents for full sized pack

Nearly 1000 Homeseekers Left Mime
apoIis for Northwest Yesterday.
Minneapolis, March 3.-West- bound
trains over the Great Northern, North
ern Pacific and 500 lines yesterday
were crowded with homeseekers going
into the central northwest and the
coast states. The first excursions
showed big increase over the move
ment of year ago. The Great North
ern sent it's flyer out in two sections,
carrying in all about 400. The North
ern Pacific and 500 estimates were
about the same.
The Indications are that the evening
making total for the day of about
1900 The lines predict much larger
movement for today. A large number
bound for the coast will go by way of
the Burlington and Northern Pacific
thru Billings. Mont, this spring. This
includes principally the movement to
the coast from Kansas and other states
| in the southwest.
Iowa is contributing the largest share
OF the early movement. 1t is general
csutom in Iowa that possession Of farm
property is given on March /. Conse-
quently the homeseekers bound for the
northwest are already on the move or
are loading cars in all parts of the
state.
Land men canvassing Iowa are Of
| fered nearly everything in trade for
northwestern lands. A remarkable fea-
ture is the willingness of prosperous
merchants in country towns to trade
their stocks OF goods and good will for
Minnesota and Dakota land.

There Were lilo people. owners OF the

ence are withheld in detail, no hesi-
fancy is exhibited by some of the job
bers in giving information as to at
least certain matters which are receive
ing their consideration. From the
number Of northern Iowa grocers who
are in attendance 1t is presumed that
this meeting is one of considerable Inn
portance to them From one of them
it was learned that the matters gener-
ally discussed were the subject OF
freight rates, the sugar trade, insur-
ance rates and reported advancement
OF those rates, together with the prop
osition looking to the repeal OF the Iowa
anti-compact law. and certain other le-
gal enactments and trade conditions.
Probably the chief of these Is the re-
cent sugar trade disturbance. which.
however, has not extended to Cedar
Rapids territory. This question was
definitely settled at the meeting of the
Iowa Nebraska jobbers held in Council
Eluffs, as stated above. A war in sugar
prices In the Missouri valley was
threatened and had it.not been checked
1T would certainly have extended not
only thruout this section of Iowa, but
over the whole of this and other states.
The members of the association in
session here are also members of the
Iowa Nebraska Jobbers Association,
occupying sort of auxiliary position.
II is called the Northern Iowa Whole
sale Grocers' Association. Under the
head of legislation the national bank
ruptcy act was discussed as we'll as the
Iowa anti-compact insurance law. The
repeal of the latter IS understood to be
favored by the jobbers. This northern
Iowa association is to be strengthened
and reorganized. The following is a

spring hat should be summary, than that
1t should reflect, even family, the fash
ions of the past winter.
The more acceptable new millinery is
characterized by an abundance of flowers,
tulle and silky straws from which no end
of wonderful creations are shaped. Foil
age and flowers are impressive in quality
as well as in quantity, and fruits of many
kinds are employed in profusion, carrying
out the scheme of color in the hat. Thus
q red tulle in series of pleatings may be
trimmed with green leaves with red tints
and with cherries or currants Some chif-
fon and tulle hats are so complete in
themselves that they require little trim
ming, while others are one mass OF flow
ers except the under side OF the hrim,
which is of folds of tulle or chiffon Of
the same tint MS the flowers. Flower hats
are heavy, which is an objection. yet if
they are becoming, the heaviness is over
looked.

large velvet bows at the back falling over
the hair. Triple bows and roses made OF
plain soft satin ribbon in two or three
shades Of one color are used largely. a
heavy quality Of batiste resembling grass
linen is utilized for some pretty models.
Delicate batiste applique on the sheerest

All kinds of flowers are permissible, the
reds, white, pinks and yellow blossoms
being especially plentiful Black and
white daisies with yellow centers are
made into wreaths. Pale blue and deli.
cate green roses are not few. Handsome
white and silvery leaves appear on many
white chiffon and tulle hats. Biscuit and
tan straws are stylish, and white, pale
blue. chrysanthemum straws and many
black hats rank well. Corn flowers are
being revived, and will be conspicuous on
summer hats. Roses are found in every
shade. Pansy blossoms are made into
