Washington, Feb. 26.-According to
United States Consul McWade at Can
ton, it has remained for an American
physician, Dr. Adolph Ratzag, to dis

tracted the attention of the highest
Manchu and Chinese officials. This
work began in June. 1902, in leper VIII

four cases treated, three have been dis

TELEPHONE WAR EXPECTED.
If Franchise Is Granted at Morning Sur
Lively Fioht Will Result,

Morning Sun. Feb. 26.-The question
of granting franchise to the Var
mouth Telephone Company will be SUBJ
mitted to the people of this place. The
election is developing considerable ex-
element and the outcome is eagerly
watched.
The Morning Sun Telephone Com.
pany, now operating the exchange. has
made the Yarmouth people very lib
eral proposition in reference to their
coming in on the present poles and OPP
Grating over the switch board now in
use. In the neighboring towns it is
customary for the mutual lines to ccn-
meet with the local exchanges and .hus
do away with the necessity of the bus
mess houses and offices keeping up two
instruments. Something by way of an
agreement of this kind has been pro-
posed by the local company. who are
willing to submit the matter of charges
to disinterested parties, thus avoiding
any unfairness in the matter. The mu-
tual refuses to consider their PROPOSE
ton and asks n franchise to put in their
own exchange.
There seems to be no question but
that the union of the two lines would
be for the best interests of all con-
cerned. but 1t will have to receive the
attention of the voters at the election
to decide that point.

THE STATE CONTEST.
College Orators Will Have Good Time
at Oskaloosa.

at Oskaioosa.
OskalooSa, Feb. 26.-According to
present indications, Oskaloosa will wit
ness on Thursday and Friday of this
week such a demonstration of college
spirit and enthusiasm as it will not be
her privilege to see again in years. The
state oratorical contest on Friday eve
ming will be of the most interest to the
general public. as it will not be as ex-
ctusively collegiate affair as the ban
quet on the preceding evening. About
100 delegates from the various institu-
tons over the state will be in attend
ance at the banquet, besides about the
same number from Penn and the city,
and some of the nearby schools expect
to send a large number of others to
swell their delegations at the contest.
For the first time in a number of
years Grinnell will be represented on
the program, and they are preparing to
come in force. There will be two ladies
on the contest this year, but their re-
spective colleges, Cornell of Mt. YER
non and Upper Iowa University of Fay
cite, do not seem to be at all alarmed by
this fact. Indeed, the latter institution
appears to think that they are sure to
win and will send a big delegation.
Penn, while she will not appear on the
program, does not intend to fall behind
the others in spirit. and the students
have been gathering at noon for the
past two or three days to practice yells.
Most of the colleges will have seats re-
served for their delegates, SO that all
the representatives of each school can
sit together This will give them a
chance to give their yells to the hes.
advantage. and they can be depended
upon not to let the chance slip.

Iowa City, Feb. ga conference
composed of Iowa, Drake, Ames and
Grinnell, to take charge of the state
field meet heretofore held at Des Moines
Annually on the last Saturday in May
of each year unoer rhe auspices OF the
Iowa intercollegiate Track Association,
is contemplated. The plan was sug-
gested by Drake University. The rea-
son for its formation is that the Track
4 Association, composed at present OF
Iowa. Drake, Ames, Grinnell. Cornell,
Simpson and the State Normal, mas
made an assessment of 800 upon each
member to provide for Il sinking fund.
1t is argued by those in favor of the
conference that the four schools asked
to form the new conference can just as
we'll undertake to form new assocla-
ton under the circumstances.
Grinnell, Anes and Drake are re-
ported to have passed favorable votes
upon the plan at their board OF control
meetings. Secrecy is being observed IN
regard to the plan until 1T Is COM
plsted. w. n. Bremner. city attorney
of Des Moines, and a member of the
University of Iowa board of athletic
control, is an ardent advocate OF the
plan. Mr.. Bremner was until last year
secretary of the present intercollegiate
State Association.
Iowa is not inclined to believe that
any great good can be accomplished by
jumping from the old association to the
new. The Iowa board of control has
therefore decided to urge the colleges
proposing the new conference to re-
main under the old agreement. The
condition upon which Iowa will enter
the new conference is that the three
colleges entering it with her undertake
to observe the big nire" conference
rules in all their sports. None of the
three colleges proposing the league
have adopted the conference athletic
rules and Iowa is DESTROYS, as a MEM
Der of the conference. to have these
rules generally adopted. Her interest
in this is SO great that She will over
come her preference to entering the
rev league if Ames, Grinnell and Drake
will adopt the conference athletic rules.
If this can not be acceded to by the
representatives of these three schools.
Iowa can see no reason for leaving the
present state aSSociatio.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, Eifeetual and Convenient Cur
-

for Satarrhs
OF catarrh remedies there is no end,
but of catarrh cures there has always
been a grsat scarcity. There are many
remedies to relieve, but very few that
really cure.
The old practice of snutfing salt Wa
ter thru the nose would often relleve'
and the washes, doucheS, powders anu
inhalers in common use are very little,
if any, better than the old-fashioned
salt water douche.
The use of innalers and the applica-
ton of salves, washes ard powders 10
the nose and throat to cure catarrh is
no more reasonable than to rub the
back to cure kidney disease. Catarrn
is lust as much a blood disease as kid
ney trouble or rheumatism and 1t can
not be cured by local treatment any
more than they can be.
To ours catarrh whether in the head,
throat or stomach an internal anusep-
tic treatment is necessary to drive the
catarrhal poison out of the plood anu
system, and the new catarrh cure Is

William Zimmerman, of st. Joseph

which is OF value to millions of catarrh

bronchial tubes and finally even my
stomach and liver became affected. but

Some of my friends recommended an
inhaler, another a catarrh salve, but
they were no good in my case, nor was
anything else until I heard of Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets and bought a package
at my drug store. They benefited me
from the start and in cess than four
months I was completely cured of ca
