LATE LITERATURE.
Current Comment on Timely Books
and Magazines.

Uuder the editorship of Prof. B.
f. Shambaugh, professor of political
science in the State University Of
Iowa, there has been issued by the
State Historical Society the first vol
ume of a series of volumes containing
the messages and proclamations OF
the governors of Iowa. The present
volume contents itself with the state
papers of Governors Dodge, Lucas,
Chambers, Clarke, Briggs and Hemp
stead. A brief biographical sketch is
given of each governor. Nearly all
the papers have ben taken from the
original documents. The initial vol
ume of the series makes a book of
nearly 500 pages. The matter con-
tanned in the book is Of interest to
Iowans today. The series will prove
a valuable addition to the early docu-
mentory history of the state.

Some books are made to amuse,
others because they are useful. To
the latter class belongs "Conklin's
Peerless Manual" a little volume of
513 pages, SO of which are occupied
by clear and up-to-date maps in colors.
The Peerless Manual is printed from
clear type on an extra quality Of Bible
paper, made especially for the pur.
pose, making it possible to present in
one handy volume more printed sur.
face than is usually contained in
books ten times a. bulky. 1t contains
a million facts of great value to every.
one and a fund of general information
that cannot be obtained in any other
form for many times the small price
asked for it. 1t is handsomely bound
in cloth covers, with red edges. Geo.

FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO WOMEN.
If there is anything in your case about which you would like
special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. No man will see
your letter. She can surely help you, for n o person in America
has such a wide experience in treating female ills a she has had.
She has helped hundreds of thousands of women back to health.
Her address is Lynn, Mass, and her advice is free. You ire very
foolish if you do not accept her kind invitation.

ing clergyman, robed in the dignity
of the church, passes twice around
the bell and as he does so imprints
thereon, seven times on the inner

ceremony is solemnized by the fact
that in performing it he also signs
it with Holy Chrism, wherein he
gives the bell it's name. AS the
church itself is dedicated to Our
Lady of Lourdes, it was fitting that
the bell should be erected in her
honor.
The use of the bell in the church

FRUIT NOT DAMAGED.

Hartford, April 6.-The prevailing impression that the fruit trees in this locality suffered severely as 6 result or the heavy frosts of Saturday and Sun day is not substantiated by the reports | of experts. s
 J. H. Hale, who keeps a fruit nur- sery at Glastonbury, said to-day that the frost of Saturday and yesterday did not damage the peach crop. but if any 1 thing, did it good. The buds, he said, had made remarkable progress during the warm days in March, and the recent frost simply held them back and apart ! from blasting a few tender shrubs did no damage.
 Reports from the vicinity of Fort Val 1 ley, Ga, the headquarters of one of the i richest sections of the fruit belt in that state, are to the effect that the prospects there are discouraging for the peach crop, and in some instances the outlook is gloomy for fruit growers. In some sections it is reported that the brown rot OF monalia disease has attacked the bloom and a considerable per cent. ot 1 the blossoms are killed.
 A dispatch from Buffalo says that peach growers in Niagara and Orleans counties fears that serious damage has been done to the peach crop. The frost has nipped the buds, and while it is impossible now to say what damage has been done, owners of orchards are alarmed.
 Central New York vegetation has been slightly damaged. Sap has started again in the naples, and owners of SUI gar bushes are taking advantage of it In the grape and peach regions growers fear much damage has been done.
 Farmers in Albany, Ransselaer and Schenectady counties report that young plants and vegetation have been con- siderably hurt, but that damage tt fruit trees is not very great.
 The cold weather of the last two days bringing the thermometer down to 2 degrees, is not a record breaker, for tht month of April. The lowest tempera' ture in April for the past eleven years is as follows: 1892, 29 degrees; 1893, 2i degrees: 1894, 24 degrees; 1895, 2S de grees; 1896, A degrees: 1897, 2S degrees 1898, P degrees; 1899, 26 degrees; 1900, ? degrees; 1901, 32 degrees; 1902, S1 de grees.
