After an Iowa Line.

railroad rumor, having Its origin
in Des Moines, is to the effect that a
combination Of Illinois Central, NJ g.
ST L. and Iowa Central interests is
anxious to secure control of the New
ton 4 Northwestern railway. q road
running between Newton and Rock
we'll City. The Des Moines Capital
claims that definite proposition has
been made, and quotes a Des Moines
railroad man as authority. The Capt.
tai says:
The newly formed triumHirate, COM
posed of the Illinois Central, Minneap-
oils & st. Louis and Iowa Central
is after another valuable Iowa rail-
road that will give it thru st. Louis.
Sioux City and Sioux Falls connection
with the shortest line between these
points, If the statements of local
railroad man can be believed.
"a definite proposition is said to have
been made Hamilton Browne of Boone,
president of the Newton & Northwest
ern, FOR the entire road running from
Newton to Rockwell City. The line
runs directly between these two points
giving the appearance of having been
constructed purposeiy Tor the Mime
apolis & ST. Louis, Iowa Central and
Illinois Central.
Mr. Browne and Mr.. Meservey have
been comforting with indirect agents of
the three big roads regarding their
purchase.
The line will give the Minneapolis

between Minneapolis and st. Louis by
thirty miles. There is no road in the
state that can parallel the service be-
tween Sioux Falls S. D., Sioux City Ia,
and st. Louis IL established.
The Iowa Central has already built
Its spur north to Newton from Oska-
loosa. There is not an inch of road
to build to open up this mammoth new
field. S. L. Meservey in a recent inter-
view in this city said the Rock Islands
road from Metz to Newton would not
be used by the Newton a. Northwest
ern. Mr. Meservey said the Rock Is
land would not buy the road. These
facts are taken as conclusive proof
that the Iowa Central and two other
roads in conjunction will gobble up an
other piece of road as they did the Des

TYPHOID GERM LESS ACTIVE.
Statistics From st. Louis Health De-
partment Show Disease on Decrease.


st. Louis Mo-, July 24.-Statistics on
file in the health department show tina,
while typhoid is on the increase in st.
Louis. deaths from the disease are few
err this year than during the cores
ponding period of 1902.
In the first three weeks In July there
We're reported ninety eight cases and
eleven deaths, while in the whole month
OF May last year there were fourteen
deaths in eighty-thre cases. In 1901
there were thirteen deaths out Of forty
nine cases.
Impure water is the. cause ascrihed
for the increase in the number of-rases.
The decrease in the mortality cannot
be ascribed to the decreasing virulence
of the water coming down the drainage
canal, for there are as many bacteria
in cubic centimeter of water as there
were year ago, IL not more. Nor can
the decrease in the death rate be ac-
counted for by a theoretical immunity
conferred upon those who use polluted
water daily, as this immunity. which Is
a mooted question among physicians,
comes> only to those who have recov-
cred from an attackk of this disease.

side Cemetery
THE CARVING VERY ARTISTIC
It Stands on a Beautiful Site Near the

Artistic in the State.

One of the most artistic and beauu-

cemetery as well. The base Is 10 feet
and inches by feet 4 inches. Above
the base is corresponding one Of
smaller size, with the name "Shorthill"

Above that Is a section correspondingly
small, with a large branch OF holly
carved in bas relief, 3 feet in length
mounted by die with heavy panel
center, and has four round columns
with carved Corithian caps, and four
MALT columns of the same; above that 10
a large projecting cap, heavily moulded,
with the letter 49, raised, on both sides
This cap Is surmounted with a square
die in the center, and is supported by
four polished columns, with carved
Corthian caps. On the left sits the fig
ure of Life, on the right the figure Of
Truth, and above on a heavily carved
cap stands the figure of Remembrance,
SIS feet in height. The figure of Life
sits resting her chin upon her right
hand, with a large wreath of flowers
in her lap. The figure of Truth sits
erect with book in her lap, in the at
titude of meditation, while the figure of
holds in her hand full
blown rose. in the act Of casting it upon
the grave. The carving on the figures
is artictic In the extreme. and 1t is safe
to say that there is not more beau
tiful monument In the state.

When the stomach Is overloaded;
when food is taken into it that fails tc
digest, it decays and infiames the mu-
cous membrane, exposing the nerves
and causes the glands to secrete mu-
Gin instead of the natural juices of di-
gestion. This is called catarrh OF the
