TOO MANY APPLES,

Although apples are Usually scarce
and high in Iowa at this time of the
year, SO many car loads have been
shipped into the state this fall that
the fruit is now a dug upon the mar
ket and much money has been lost by
Michigan shippers, who have flooded
central Iowa with car loads Of the
fruit. Some Of the apples shipped IN
bulk in car load lots have been very
inferior in quality. and merchants
would not buy even when offered the
apples at their own figure. AS rule
local merchants have not bought many
carloads of apples this year, but many
a citizen, thinking that there was
quite speculation to be made in the
apple business, has gone to Ohio,
Michigan and New York and contract
ed for from one to ten cars of fruit,
and the excessive freight charges have
not only taken all the profit, but
cheaper fruit from Missouri has been
shipped TO Iowa and entered into
competition with the Michigan and
other apples from the East. producing
great glut. Several cars have been
sold for little more than the freight
and much money has been lost in the
speculation.

WEED PROVES GINSENG.

For number of years Andrew
Ouverson, farmer living near Can
by, Mimi. has been trying TO get rid
in certain os his fields of plant that
persisted in growing despite his best
efforts to exterminate it. He pulled
it up, plowed the fields carly some
seasons, plowed them late other
seasons, bat still they grew. Recent
ly he decided to find out what it was
and sent root from the plant to a
Chicago firm. This firm pronounced
it to be the root of the ginseng plant
and quite valuable. informing Mr..
Ouverson that for roots of an equal
quality of the sample properly pre-
pared they would pay him from 81. so
to s. per pound. The plant IS native
to Minnesota and Mr.. Ouverson says
it is found growing in many places in
his eighborhood. What has heretofore
been considered a very undesirable
weed will now yield far greater re-
turns than the crops harvested from
the same lands. 1t is understood the
ginseng plant has also recently been
found in some localities along the
Platte river in Nebraska.

AN OLD TIMER.

The Elkader Argus says that 81
Moody, of McGregor, who was handed
out ten years for burglary in court
there a week ago. will begin his fourth
sentence from that county. He has
been in the hands of nearly every
sheriff of Clayton county for the past
thirty--years. James Davis took him
down the line for his first term of
three years. W. A. Benton was sher-
if when he got eight years, and
August Borman when he was sent
down for ten years, making a total of
twenty one years that he has been
sentenced to the penitenatiary, and
now he gets ten years more. Moody
is said to be model prisoner and
earns all the good time there is to be
had. Since his childhood he has had
a mania for stealing everything he
could Law hands upon. but this is
probably his last sentence as he is 81
years old.

which however included barn. The
first 10, sold brought $l40 and several
were sold at that figure. Two lumber

OLD LINE FENCE QUESTION.

Joel o. Foster and William Bussey
are neighboring farmers on the Shell
Rock. Bussey raises cattle and Fos-
ter raises corn. Neither the fence
around Bussey's pasture nor the one
enclosing Fosters corn is lawful
feuce. From time to time Bussey s
cattle Toasted on Fosters corn Last
spring Foster sued Bussey to determine
the novel question as to whether it
was Fosters duty to keep his corn out
OF Bussey's cattle or Bussey's duty
to keep his cattle out of Fosters corn.
The question is now in the district
court. Sunday, Foster impounded II
head of Busseys stock. This made
necessary q second suit. The costs

would build lawful fence entirely

likely to equal the Jones county calf

the whoop of the Indian warned of a
dreadful danger. She must stand by
her husband, gun in hand.
How many women of to-day could
undertake wifehood under such condi-
tionsl Few indeed. Not because the
modern American woman lacks cour-
age, but because she lacks as a rule the
physical health which is the indispensa-
bic qualification for a life such as was
lived by the women of the past.
That is why good woman may be
bad wife. Virtue and goodness are ex-
cellent things in women, but to guide
house and bear children demands above
all sound physical health.
WOMEN coNv1crs.
To a great number of women the
house they live in is almost on a par
with a prison. 1t Is prison-like in the
monotonous regularity of daily duties !;
prison-like in the absence of all pleasure
in what is done or JOY in the doing.
And the reason Is to be found in
womanly ill-health. Few women realize
how intimately the general health is re-
lated to the health of the delicate
womanly organs. A woman may suffer
with heart atrouble," disorders of kid
neys, liver or stomach, or with nervous
prostration as result of diseased con-
dition Of the womanly organism. Many
such women wdoctor" for years for
various diseases and wonder why they
don't get better. They can't get better
until the womanly organism is entirely
cured of its diseases.
This is not theory. It Is statement
of simple facts founded upon the testi-
mony of hundreds of thousands of
women who have been cured of woman
ly diseases by the use OF DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. They had been
just odragging around" for years, with
throbbing heads and aching backs, nerv-

A NOVEL CASE.

A claim of an unusual nature
against the estate of William Grobe,
ST., was decided by Judge Evans at
Eldora last Friday. 1t appears that
during his lifetime Mr.. Grobe became
acquainted with young woman in
Chicago and desired to marry her.
She was woman of responsibility
and refused to marry him without in
vestigating his standing and surround
ings at his home at Ackley and refused
to accompany him to Ackley before
marriage. Mr.. Grobe, as it is alleged.
finally secured the services of Mrs
Mary Aldinger of Ackley, to 60 to
Chicago and bring the lady Of his
choice.to Ackley, and agreed to pay
Mrs. Aldinger for her services the
sum of 5000 and all expenses. Mrs.
Aldinger carried out her part of the
contract aud Mr.. Grobe married the
woman on Feb. 10, 1901. Mr.. Grobe
was about 20 years old and his bride
about 30 years old. Their married
life was unhappy and in the August
following Mr.. Grobe committed sui
eide. Mrs. Aldinger then filed a claim
against the estate of William Grobe

the ground that the same was contrary

A PRACTICAL OFFICE HOLDER.

The auditor of Allsmakee county
has evidently seen something since
the election in that county. He is
serving his term at present and had
doubtless been counting on being ac-
corded third term, as has been tho
custom with the republican party in
that county in the past. At the recent
election, however. Sheriff Bulman,
who was a third term candidate, was
defeated because of what some con-
sidered a too strong thirst for office
and his defeat is taken as about fixing
the two term and out policy for that
county. With but one more year in
view as county servant, Auditor
Jones is making plans for the rainy
days to come and has discharged his
present deputy and will appoint his
wife as his assistant and then retire
at the end of next year and be ahead
