Many friends in this city and all over
the county were shocked to learn by tel.
ephone on Wednesday morning that Alb.
Thompson, of St. Thomas. had died
very suddenly that morning. We have
not learned the full particulars, but he
was not i'll to amount to anything the
day before and his sudden end was a
surprise. His full name was Theodore
Albert Thompson, and he was about 4C
years OF age. His father, o. P. Thomp.
son, was for some time in business with
his sons in st. Thomas and his residence
is DEBORAH, Iowa. The mother and his
three brothers also live to mourn the
loss, Edward T., Of St. Thomas, former.
~ treasurer of this county, Charles, who
resides at Forest City, Iowa. and Fred,
at Thompson, Iowa. The remains will
likely be inferred at DEBORAH, Iowa, the
former home of the deceased.

For Sheep Growers

American Protective Wool Is maxi
ing money for the sheep raisers. Ohio
XXX washed wool has sold in the last
four years from 28lc to 31}c a pound
against 10 cents a pound during the
three years in which the Wilson tariff
act, with its free wool clause, was in
operation. The rise in price has
greatly stimulated wool production,
the clip Of 1902 being 346,3ll, OOO
pounds against 259, 1884, ,O2l pounds in
1897, at tbs end of the free wool
period. This has occurred in spite
of the fact that the high price of meat
during a. part Of this period ha:
induced many farmers to kill bott
lamb and mutton.

An Anti Trust Decision

The case Of the government against
the Northern Securities Company
has been decided in favor Of the
former in the St. Paul courts under
the antitrust law. And so this
wasn't a mere bluff of the Roosevelt
administration, after all. The govern
ment has won before q tribunal
composed Of men of high judicial
standing and against the most eminent
counsel which the trusts could secure.
A more notable victory has not recent
ly been achieved and a more popular
one with the people it would be
difficult to imagine.
Congratulations are due to the
president and TO the attorney general,
the first a man Of firm purpose, the
second, one Of the most accomplished
aud high minded Of American law
yers. This decision must be rather
convincing evidence to democratic
minds that the republican fight
against illegal combinations is not a
sham battle.

SOFTCORE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full Of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest Of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for ali whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
