Rev. Fitzpatrick in his address touched
upon the fact that the Irish are a scat
tered race that reaches from the far north
to the far south and from the orient to
the occident. They were driven away from
their own country by a continued perse-
cution extending over centuries and despite
that fact every Irish heart is loyal to the
shamrock and the country it stands for.
The Irish are a race OF honor; their
thoughts are high and noble and no mat
ter what flag they are fighting under, for
they are a race Of warriors. they show the
same undying devotion, honesty Of inten-
ton and sturdy patriotism that destiny
has traced out through their fo~refathers a
thousand years ago. He said in part:
1t is 1,40O years since Patrick was seen
by the people sailing over the sea and was
met at the beach by this wild and savage
race. With him he brought the cross, the
symbol Of Christianity, and the idolatry
OF the people became a thing Of tne past.
They became an enlightened people and for
three centuries the monks Of ireland we're
the teachers Of the world. King Alfred
was a product Of their teaching.
Great honor and praise is due 20. Pat
rick for this work, which meant SO much
to Ireland. He put In the hearts Of the
people that honesty, sincerity, truth and
devotion that has never been found wanting
in any child Of Ireland no matter how far
in space and time that child may be from
the heather-covere hills Of Erin.

SCORES CARD PLAYERS.
Evangelist at Waterloo Declares "one
Pup is Equal to Ten Preachers"


Waterloo, Sept 16.-"One pup is
equal to ten preachers. That is, for
every dollar spent for extending the
work of the church ten are spent for
raising and caring for dogs"
Every young lady who plays pro-
gressive euchre in Waterloo is gam
bier, and every parlor in which the
game is played is a gambling hall and
should be raided by the police, the
same as places where young men play
poker and other games for money"
According to your number of saloons
and your population and the license
money you get man weighing $50
pounds in Waterloo is worth SO 1-3
cents, while a hog of similar weight
will bring 49,"
These are a few of the startling ut
terances made by Evangelist j. ".
Coombes, who is holding meetings
here. He is attracting large crowds
and his addresses, which are filled
with sensational and radical utter
ances, are forming themes for discus
sion everywhere. In his addresses the
evangelist attacks the whist and pro-
gressive euchre players and declares
that the latter game has been stopped
by officers of the law in number of
eastern and southern cities. He said
card games in parlors were more harm
full than those played by boys in dingy
downtown rooms in secret.

FLOODED WITH REQUESTS.
Hon. A. F. Dawson Says Speakers are
Numerous.

Des Moines, Sept. 16.-Hon. A. F.
Dawson, who has charge of the
speakers bureau for the republican
committee, arrived in Des Moines yes
terday and Immediately got settled
down to hard work. Mr.. Dawson says
there is nothing of a definite nature
to give out regarding the plans for
the speaking campaign in the state,
but he is busy in correspondence with
prospective speakers and expects af-
ter the first of October to have the
state well covered with orators. Let
tiers have been sent to several hun
bred republicans in the state asking
them for statement of the time they
can give to the party. Besides these
no less than sixty outside speakers
have been invited. Until replies are
received from these letters Mr.. Daw-
son will be unable to map out his
campaign with any degree of ac-
curacy.
The state central committee is be-
ing flooded with requests for speak
ers. The great majority of the re-
quests are for Governor Cummins,
there being scarcely county in the
state which does not want the execu-
tive to deliver an address before the
close of the campaign. AS Mr. Cum
minis does not begin his speaking cam
paign until Sept. 26 he will not have
time to cover all the territory where
his services are requested, nor as
much as he would like to, but he ex-
poets to speak as often as twice a
day during a good deal of the time he
is on the stump and will likely make
about seventy-five speeches during
his canvass. Senator Dolliver and
Congressman Cousins are also in de-
mand from many sections of the state,
and calls are numerous on the COM
mittee for Congressman Hull and La
cey, Senator Dolliver has stated that
he will devote three weeks to the
Iowa campaign, going where the COM
mittee sees fit to place him. The
balance of the time he has promised
to put in in Ohio for Senator Hanna.
and at the personal request of the
latter. Congressman Hull has also
received requests for speeches in Ohio,
but it is understood he has decided
not to leave Iowa this year.
Congressman M. j. Wade of Iowa
City will be one of the principal ora
tors for the democracy of the state
and already finds his time largely in
demand. No definite date for the
opening of the campaign by him has
been set. Thursday he will deliver the
principal address at Mt. Pleasant at
the unwilling of the monument just
erected in honor of a revolutionary
soldier buried there. Other speakers
for the occasion will be Judge Dewey,
William Carter and R. A. Palmer

Why Do They Cure
When Others Fail +?

Because they have spent years in
hospital and post graduate courses
Because they devote all their time to
the treatment and cure of chronic dis
eases.
Because they have the lateN scien-
tific appliances with which to cure
Because they use the medicine that
will produce the best result regardless
of cost.
Their method of treating rheuma-
tism, deep seated inflammations Of
joints, muscles, nerves, periosteum,
liver, kidneys, bladder, ovaries, etc.
consists in forcing the medicines di-
rectly into the diseased parts (not
with syringe) but by magnetic influ-
ence produced by an apparatus made
for that purpose. 1t is harmless 1t
is painless. 1t cures. The medicines
are placed on metallic plates, covered
with cotton. You can see it pass
through the part being treated from
one plate to the other.
For our METHOD of curing catarrh,
diseases of the lungs, stomach and
bowels, male and female weakness,
blood and skin diseases, diseases of
the rectum, call at our office. Consul

CORN NEEDS TWO WEEKS.
Frost Predicted for Last Night Did Not
Arrive.

The weather reports yesterday indi-
Gated that the storm and the cold wave
that was passing over the southern
states was coming north and that
Iowa was due for a frost last night.
Z That the frost did not come is proba-
bly, due to the fact of the heavy clouds
that overhung this portion of the state.
The report sent out by the climate and
corn needs from two TO three weeks
good ripening weather before it will
be out of danger from frost.
The crop bulletin sent out from Des
Moines is as follows:
Unseasonably Cool.
The past week has been unseasona-
bly, cool, wet and cloudy The average
Temperature was but little below nor
NAL, but the large excess of rainfall
Eand general prevalence of cloudiness
made it unfavorable for rapid matur-
ing of crops and farming operations.
Threshing has been delayed, and grain
in stock and shock has suffered very
considerable damage.
Needs Two or Three Weeks.
Reports indicate that corn has made
some advancement toward maturity,
but not as rapidly as seems necessary
for the safety of the bulk of the crop.
Early planted corn is reported to be
mostly beyond danger of harm by
frost in the northwest district, and in
favored localities in the southeast dis
trlct; but for the state at large the
per cent of well matured corn is as yet
relatively small. The bulk of the crop
needs two or three weeks of good rip
ening weather. The conditions have
been favorablefor pastrage, which was
never better at this time of the year.
Apples and potatoes are about as pre-.
viously reported.
A large meteor fell near Red
Oak.
