Millennium in 1912.

The statement is made by a prominent .di-
vine in the west that the millennium will ar
rive in the year 1912, and bases his claims on
the prophcSicS of the Bible. Whether his
prophcsy is correct not. time alone will tell,
but i'll the meantime we should make the most
out OF our lives, and the first essential to this
is good health. A sickly person cannot en-
JOY life because he lacks the vigor and vitality
necessary for such enjoyment, and conse-
quently always feels down-heartcd and de-
pressed. 1t was for such persons that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters was first introduced
fifty years ago, and many persons today can
ascribc their good health to its use. 1t posi-
lively cures indigestion, dyspepsia, constipa-
ton, biliouSnesS and liver and kidney
troubles. Don't fail to try it.

The state of Iowa will probably get
from the estate of the late Jacob M.
Funk, of Hamilton county, the largest
collateral inheritance tax collection
ever received by Iowa. The estate is
variously estimated at from half mil
lion to million dollars, and practically
all in Iowa. If the estate goes to the
highest figure, after deducting the ex-
penses of administration, the state
treasury of Iowa will be richer by $780,
900 than before. The state collects
per cont tax on estates that decend to
collateral heirs. Mr.. Funk was never
married and he leaves a brother and a
number of nephews and nieces, who will
get the estate. No will has been found

Monday afternoon fire broke out at
the home OF Cal Price three miles south
east of town. 1t started in the attic
over the kitchen from an unknown
cause, but presumably was the result
of defective f1ue. In spite of all
efforts the house was burned to the
ground, but everything in it was saved.
The doors and windows in the front
part were also rescued. The loss was
about $1,000; insurance $S00-S400 in
the Des Moines and $500 in the Hawk
eye. While the fire was raging G. d.
Worden, father-in-law of |. N. Skidmore,
and Rev. Hunter, placed a ladder on the
roof and were in the act of climbing up
to get closer to the fire when the fasten-
nings gave way and they fell to the
ground. Mr.. Worden was seriously in
iured but Rev. Hunter escaped with a
slightly sprained wrist.-Van Vert Rec.

fed steers, one car of butchers stock
and two cars of hogs. We see by a

cts, the highest priced lot excepting
one, on the market that day. The steers
we're two-year olds and averaged 1,462
lbs. One of the cars of hogs averaged

Against Beavers in the Post
Office investigation.

Washington, July ia special to the
Star from Brooklyn says that George
W. Beavers, formerly chief of the sal
airy and allowance division of the post
office department, has been indicted
by the federal grand jury probably on
two counts. A bench warrant has been
issued for his arrest, but has not been
served.
New York, July ia bench warrant
was issued by Judge Thomas in the
United States circuit court, Brooklyn,
Friday for the arrest of George w. Beav-
ers on an Indictment found by the fed
eral grand jury which charges him with
accepting a bride of $S40. 1t is under
stood that payments to Beavers were
traced back to the purchase by the gov
eminent ofthe Brandt-Den Cash Regis
tering Machine company.
The post office inspectors found that
Beavers had large account in the Mas
sau Trust company, Brooklyn, and are
said to have discovered that checks de-
posted there had been given by ex-
Congressman briggs. The warrant has
not yet been served and it was rumored
that Mr.. Beavers could not be found.

SATISFACTORILY SETTLED.
Agreement Regarding MAN.
churian Question.

Washington, July 1.-THE Man
churian question has been settled sat
isfactorily to this government. AS
surances have been received from the
Chinese government, that it will, in the
near future, open as treaty ports sev-
eral ports now closed to the worlds
trade. The Russian government has
conveyed formal assurance to the
United States government that it will
not, in any way, oppose such opening.
While the ports to be opened are not yet
specified it is gathered from the COM
munications received that they are
Moukden, the pralcipal inland port of
Manchuria, and Ia Tung Kao, at the
mouth of Yalu river. The state depart
ment is highly gratified at this outcome,
feeling that it has secured not only for
American commerce but for the COM
merce of the world at large a very SUBJ
stantial gain.
