GRAFTERs AT WORK.


The report comes from Lancaster,
Mo-, a few miles southeast of this coun-
ty, that some smooth grafters have
been getting in their work there ana
on detection moved on to other easy
fields, possibly to this county. The
Lancaster Republican tells OF their
scheme as follows:
THE guaranteed cure swindle has
been worked on some of our farmers by
Drs. j. C. Orr j. w. Howell and one
or two others. Their plans were to ap-
proach their man. and after giving him
n CON about the wonderful curative
properties of their treatment, induce
him to sign Il note payable in six
months, or when cured, then they
would cash the note and hike. How
ever in this case they failed to hike
in time, and on the complaint of An
drew FORESTER, were placed under ar
rest here. They held notes on Thomas
Bragg, for 5000. Andrew ForresterS150,
James Waddle 500, and it is reported
the notes We're returned and Drs. We're
permitted to pay the freight and move
to more congenial territory. 1t is re-
ported that they also have notes on
a few of the citizens in the vicinity of
Queen CITY,"

A CASE IN POINT.
[Giidden Graphic


Moorhead is village of 200 popula.
ton in Monona county. II is located in
the center of Spring Valley township.
Three years ago Il township high school
was erected in this village and w. L..
Atkinson was chosen principal with
three assistants. May End a class Of
sixteen was graduated. Thirteen OF
these came from the country and three
from the village. The cost per pupil in
this school has been less than $1.50 pei
month. These facts furnish proof be-
vond a shadow of a doubt of the i'm.
mense advantage and value, from am
educational standpoint, of the central
lied school over the old time schoole
to the township plan. 1t reduces the
question to definite terms. There is no
material difference in the cost of tut
ton per pupil under the old and the
new plan. The logical question then
follows: What is the difference in the
value of what the child is able to get
in the central school and in the district
school? II cannot be computed in dol
Lars and cents. 1t can be only estimated
and then besides much depends upon
the use made of information acquired.
For ourselves we would rather send a
boy into the world penniless but with
a good education than TO leave hin.
where the average country boy is left
Internationally and be able to give him
the best farm in Carroll county.

disappeared. 1t is such welcome ad-
dition in town for wearing over blouses
with ordinary black skirts that few OF
us with limited number Of toilets can
afford to dispense with this smart and
useful garment.
Very dressy hats are made of satin
straw, trimmed with ostrich feathers.
Tulle and chiffon hats are not so much
used, but are mingled with straw.
Fouard dresses are useful as well as
pretty if made in a simple blouse and
skirt fashion with fagoting for sole
trimming or little embroidery. The
extremely ornate. fussy foulard has
given way to the yelling or crepe de
chine dress and the foulard Is now con-
sidered material for the general utll-
ity gown.
Elbow sleeves will not be seen for
street wear this season. but will still be
popular for dressy occasions.
The turban in the sketch Is OF rough
straw trimmed with red founces.

The Wastes of tie Body.

Every seven days the blood, muscles
and bones of a man of average size
lose two pounds Of worn-out tissue.
This waste can not be :eplenished and
the health and strength kept up with
cut perfect digestion. When the stom-
ach and digestive organs fail to per-
form their functions, the strength lets
down, health gives way, and diseases
set up, Kodol Dyspepsia Cure enables
the stomach and digestive organs to
digest and assimilate all of the whole
some food that may be eaten into the
kind of blood that rebu!l6s the tissues
and protects the health and strength of
the mind and body. Kodol cures indi-
gestion, dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles. 1t is an ideal spring tonic.

SUNDAY CLOSING OF cemETAalEs.

There is movement on foot in Hud-
son county, New Jersey against Sunday
funerals, thus giving cemetery and IN
tertakers' employees a day of rest. In
New York and Brooklyn the Under
takers Association has already received
encouragement from the larger ceme-
teries looking toward n Sunday closing.
The Holy Name cemetery at Jersey City
nearly year ago inausurated sys-
tenn of closing until neon on Sundays.
The Flower Hill and Haboken ceme-
terry authorities have discussed the
matter informally and In manner that
is encouraging to the Undertakers AS
ISOLATION.
In large cities, where the association is
strong, of undertakers, iiverymen and
others to whom funeral is the signal
may be tolerated, but the plan is certain
to be unpopular outside of the larger
centers. To close the cemeteries against
Sunday funerals means a large falling
off in attendance on account of the
weekday duties of those who other
wise would attend. 1t means the added
expense of lost time to the poor whose
income is dependent upon daily labor.
These and other reasons will combine
to render arbitrary Sunday closing of
cemeteries unpopular. The fact that it
Geprives employees of day of rest Is
not largely to be considered. There
should be no trouble in finding men to
take the places of regular employees one
day in the week.

HANNA's OPPOSITION TO ROOSEVELT.

While Senator Hanna has not been
an avowed candidate for the preeiden-
ttal nomination every politician has
known of Barkis' willingness. This
willingness of the Ohio senator to sac
rifce his personal ease and private
business in order to serve his country
as its chief magistrate is brought into
bold relief by his opposition to an en-
dorsement of Mr.. Roosevelt by the Ohio
state republican convention. Senator
Hanna desires Ohio republicans to keep
o. free hand. To endorse Mr.. Roose-
velt's candidacy SO far in advance, he
thinks, would be an act unfriendly to
nother persons who might aspire to be
candidates in 1904" The senator is in
favor of the open door in Ohio. unless,
inferentially, he might close it from the
inside behind himself. Hanna's private
secretary MT. Dover, and Senator Pat

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

1.-THE country town merchants are
the advice of city daily newspapers
whose greatest source OF income IS de-
partment store advertising" asserts the
Odebolt Chronicle. The country mer-
chant knows when to open and close his
store. Moreover, he is personally ac-
ouainted with his patrons and regulates
his business to suit them. He Is not
fool, and consequently he will not close
his store at 6 o'clock in the evening dur
ling the summer season when the farmer
is busy all day in the fields. The effort
to drive the country merchant out OF
business is driving him into politics,
and he is a factor to be considered seri-
ously by congressman who have been
shaping legislation against his inter
ests."
The Corning Union Republican does
not question Governor Cummins' re-
publcanism, but has considered him
and still considers him an unwise and
unsafe and dangerous leader"

Why not close at $40 in the morning,
