II burns my heart, II trembles on my lips,
but IL must be said: FAREWELL To these
hallowed wallis which have 80 often shut
us in with God: TO this sacred pulpit so
long my throne where have welded my
sceptre of truth with an arm of love:

after their rigs. Ry afternoon, however.
their hopes we're blasted, for the fakes
had ceased to fall and there was barely
enough over the road 10 make the going
good. Despite the disappointment num-
Der OF the owners OF horses with speed
went out seeking those TO be beaten.
There was but little brushing among
them, for it was found that the snow
was not deep enough. There is prospect
Of at least one match being made in the
near future, for the horses owned by
Mr.. John Martin and r. r. roomy are TO
he matched. This race was talked OF
some time ago, but the match was not
consummsted for the reason that II WAS
stipulated for the owners Of each OF the
horses TO DO the. driving. This was
agreed upon last Week. but now II Is a
question of the weight TO be carried. Mr.
Toomy is a man OF very slight weight
while Mr.. Martin weighs something near
10 $50 pounds.
In order that the matter might be fairly
done. Mr.. Martin contends that the light
er man should carry enough weight in
the bottom Of his buggy to equal his
own weight. 1t may be a fair point, but
IL is rather absurd. I'm all racing rules
Il is stipulated that a driver shall carry
not less than $50 pounds. There IL no
statement that man shall carry any
more than that and just what the out
come will he Is not TO be predicted. There
are several other matches talked OF but
IL remains for later Developments TO tell
the outcome.

In conversation with q Press repre-

had been completed into Des Moines
before reaching out with the northern
extension. That the first matter to
settle upon was to determine where
the road should be extended to and
arrange terminal facilities, etc. the
next question was the route to be TAX

COSTS NOTHING UNLESS CURED
A Fair Offer TO All cstarrh Sufferer.

The leading druggists of this city are
selling Hyomei on a plan that has caus-
ed considerable talk amongst their GUS
toners.
The plan is different from hat fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the REM
edy itself is different also. This treat
ment for the cure of catarrh has such
an unusual record Of cures to its credit
that all druggists are authorized to re-
fund the money If it Ices o give the
desired benefit. This is certainly one
Of the fairest offers that can be made,
and any one who has catarrh and does
not take advantage of it is doing him
self or herself an injustice.
The Hyomei treatment consists of an
Inhaler that can be carried in the vest
pocket, a medicine dropper and a bottle
Of Hyomei. The complete treatment
costs but $1.00, and as the inhaler will
last a life time and there is
sufficient Hyomei for more than
la months use, the medicine
lis very inexpensive. Many peo-
pie who have used it write that for the
good Hyomei has done them they would
willingly pay thousands of dollars. tx
ira bottles of Hyomei a be procured
for use with the inhaler at so cents.
Do not suffer any longer with tick
ling, smarting. Irritating, burning eye
watering troubles thai afflict those who
have catarrh. Hyomei will cure you,
but If you should not find 1t adapted to
your case, your druggist will return
your money

Webster City, Jan. 24.-The miners

city. and operators together with John
c. Reese, president of the Miners I'm
ion for Iowa, and Mr.. Sharp OF the
Mine Workers, both of whom are from
Abba, held a miners convention last
night for the purpose Of settling the
difficulties between the miners and
Manager F. E. Wilson, Of this city.
The chief Of these difficulties Is the
limitations placed upon the
amount or coal which the operators
will sell at cost to each miners family.
The operators claim that the miners
have abused this privilege by buying
many times the amount possible for
personal use and retailing It out to
private customers at q good margin
OF profit.
While work in the mines has been
continued, the men, nevertheless, have
harbored a feeling OF i'll will toward
the mine owners ever since the Tim
ting order was issued. This feeling
has been slowly smoldering until 1t
became absolutely necessary that the
differences be definitely settled. Yester-
day Mr.. Wilson received word that
work in the mines would be suspended
today. He Immediately telephoned
Messrs. Reese and Sharp at Abba. The
situation was explained to them and
they We're asked to take some action
which would definitely end the little
disturbing differences between the min
ers and operators. These gentlemen
a convention In which the
miners and mine owners and them
selves should meet and a common.
ground Of settlement be established.
This arrangement seemed satisfactory
to both parties and the convention
held last night.
It is understood that an amicablei
settlement was reached. tho the terms
We're not given to tho public. The
miners will begin work next week with
the best OF feeling existing between
and the operators.

Des Moines, Jan. 24.-Next Tuesday
afternoon the railroad commissioners of
Iowa will have a hearing on a case that
promises to be one of the most im-
portant matters which have came be-
fore the commission for many years. A
farmer in Keokuk county has de-
manded of the Rock Island company
that it construct a farm crossing be-
tween the two parts of his land di-
yided by the railroad. The commission
ings quite freely, because the custom
has always been to have the grade
made smooth for wagons to cross and
gates placed in the fences, and nothing
more; but this farmer demands wing
fences running up the track and cattle
guards. This is a new one on the COM
mission. Nothing of the sort has ever
been ordered. But the farmer has en-
ployed good legal talent and will urge
that this is the kind OF a crossing con-
templated in the statute and no other
will satisfy. There are no precedentsl
in the case and nothing that will guide
the commission. A stiff fight Is to be
made for the order just as the farmer
desires it. But not only the Rock Island
but every other railroad company is in
terested in the case, because if this
farmer car compel the company to con-
struct wing fences and put in cattle
guards SO that he may II he desires
leave his gates open, then thousands OF
other farmers will demand the same
right. The hearing is set for next
Tuesday.
