". II. RAtIsAYEs PENsioNED
After "a Yeats Continuous ssr-

Fac ES!irrs.

Yesterday while in Chicago
at the headquarters OF the G. &
N. w. railway, where he had
gone on a summons from the
General Manager of the road,
Mr.. w. II. Ramsaycr was not
flied that he had been pensioned
under the pension system of
the road, he having been in the
employ of the road for over
thirty-four years, as Master
Car Builder of the system. He
is retired at his request, with
all the rights and privileges of
the position he has occupied for
so many years. Mr.. Ramsayer
has been one Of the substantial
and influential citizens of Mo.
Valley for the past 81 years,
4
and now he retires to private
life to take the we'll earned
+ sst he is entitled to. He has
been with the road in this city
almost from the time they first
ran through this city, and has
seen the old Elkhorn branch
grow from a few miles of road
to a great system of over two
thousand miles, and all that
time he has had supervision of
the car department of the road,
and he has we'll earned the rest
he is now to take in private
life. Mr.. Ramsayer has been a
part and parcel of Mo. Valley
for "a years and has seen the
town grow from a village of a
few people to an up-to-date
city of five thousand. We do
not know what Mr.. Ramsayer's
plans are for the future, but
the Times voices the sentiments
of his hosts of friends here
when we say we hope he may
conclude to spend his declining
years in this city among the
friends and neighbors whom
he has known for so many
years.

politician that was all that was
necessary to get him the job.
The President now proposes to
appoint only men who are quail

thereby to better the service.
If the President succeeds in
putting this order into practice
he will be the first President
that has ever succeeded in
doing it. He will come very
near doing it if he undertakes
it.

It has been discovered that
Minnie Cox is still drawing her
salary as postmaster of Indianola,
although the Office has been closed
for several months, and the citi.
zens of the town are running one
Independently and at their own
expense. If The postal officials
are paying this woman a salary
to spite the south, we fail to see
wherein they are successful, as

for the purpose of settling forev-

question is settled already so far
as the people of the south are con-

up strife between the two races
solely for the purpose of crafty.

will be no need of conferences as

SENATOR MONEYS SPEECH

On Wednesday of this week
Senator Money delivered a speech
in the senate concerning the In.
dianola postotfice matter.
As usual, Senator Money hand.
led the subject in the most vigor.
Gus manner.
He declared that if the post.
office at IndianoIa bad been closed
in order to punish the people for
objecting to a negro postmaster,
that the punishment had gone
far enough.
He bluntly informed the re.
publicans that the south wanted
no negro officials that this was
a white mans country and the
white people would rule it.

''mebbe you did. Couldn't no,
body else have put it there, and
none of US ever thought to look
there for it."
The soldier was then on his way
home, and when he got there the
first thing he did was to look for
the milestone. And, sure
enough, there it was, just where
Lincoln had laid it fifteen years
before. The honest old fellow
wrote to the chief executive of
the nation, telling him that the
milestone had been found, and
would never be lost again. De

Locating the MILESTONE.

Concerning the great height Of
Abraham Lincoln the following
story is told, which is said to be
new: "When candidate for the
Illinois Legislature, and while
making a personal canvass of his
district, he one day took dinner
with a farmer who also loaned
him a whetstone with which to
sharpen his knife. Years after
ward, when Mr.. Lincoln had be-
come president, a soldier came to
call on him at the White House.
At the first glance the chief ex-
ecutive said:'
"Yes, I remember you; you
used to live on the Danville road.
I took dinner with you when l
was running for the legislature.
I recollect that we stood talking
out at the barnyard gate, while l
sharpened my knife. !"
"Y-a-a-s," drawled the soldier,
"you did. But say, wherever
did you put that milestone? l
looked for it a dozen times, but l
never could find it after the day
you used it. We lowed as how,
mebby, you took it along with
YOU" m
"No," said Lincoln, looking Sc
rious and pushing away lot of
documents of state from the desk
in front of him. s'No, put 1t on
top of the gate post-that high
one."
"Well," exclaimed the visitor,

Paine's Celery
Compound
Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.

The tortures and evils of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train OF evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings OF
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss OF
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action OF the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paines Celery Compound.
The use of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers OF the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy expert
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows:-
"It gives me great pleasure to testify to the
merits Of Paine's Celery Compound. l can
candidly and honestly say it is the best medl-
cine in the world. Two years ago was sui.
fering from indigestion and nervousness, and
was so run down that could hardly walk
without help. l used two bottles of Paine's
Celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had no use for medi'
cine since. was completely cured"

he pointed out that the negro was
treated far better in the south
than in the north. He reminded
them that in'Illinois negroes were
kept from work at the point of
the bayonet, while in Mississippi
they were given all the work that
they could do at reasonable and
Legitimate wages.
The Senator declared that Mr..
Roosevelt should be an American
president, respecting the wishes
of the best people of all commun-
tiles and should not constitute
himself the president of the
"black belt.
It's very evident that Senator
Money gave the president and his
supporters something to think
about and the only reason hehadn't
done so before was his abscense
from the senate ON account of the
long sickness and recent death of
his daughter, Mrs. W. S. Hill, of
Winona.
