I'm the opening of the Second low

In the opening of the Second Iowa
congressional district convention
which embraces DavenpOrt-at Gin
ton, yesterday, Rev. w. F. Dittner, of
Clinton, offered a prayer which crea-
ted "a sensation and was the topic of
general comment. In addressing the
Deity. he said: MAY the best man
be nominated. 1t would be too much
to ask that saint be nominated, for
if he were he could not be elected"
Ridiculous almost to the point of
blasphemy as such an exhortation
was, it was probably not more strain
ed than any prayer would necessari-
" be in a republican convention.

positively unmatched in the state by
that of any other body of medical spe-

they cure the most desperate chronic
cases after they have been abandoned
by other physicians as incurable, and
their high professional reputation is
therefore merited.
These physicians treat a certain
class of diseases and confine their
practice to them alone.
aThey treat and cure all chronic, ner-

Their methods of diagnosis and
treatment are scientifically in adj

This fruit is from young orchards just
coming into bearing. There are one
hundred and twenty acres planted with
$500 Jonathan apple trees. Jonathan
is highly priced for its hardness, pro-
ductiveness and the fine quality of its
fruit. The best apple orchards of Illi-
nois are on the southern border, en-
bracing seventy-five thousand acres of
apple orchards, mostly planted during
the past ten or twelve years. This is
the first general crop from these orch
ards. One thousand acres of apple
orchards may be seen near Flora. Ill.,,
and the trees there are heavily laden
with fine fruit this season Ben Da-
Wis is the variety most largely grown.
The problem now Is 10 get enough la
borers to harvest the fruit from such a
vast acreage of apple orchards, and to
secure apple barrels for such big orch
ards. Three hundred and thirty car
loads of empty apple barrels have re-
Gently been shipped into this locality,
and nine large evaporators have been
built near Flora, with capacity for

els of fruit per day. A cold storage
