THE VAN DYKE GROCERY.
Flourishing With Good Patronage on
the South Side of the River,

Flourishing With Good Patronage on
the South Side of the River.
Among the many business houses
that are doing a profitable business,
the Van Dyke grocery is one of those
where business has increased well
during the past year. BY fair and i'm
partial dealing with the patrons and
friends of the store they have estab-
lished remarkable confidence This,
coming from tibet people who make the
store trading point is one of the best
evidences of success.
The next years business will be
conducted on a larger scale and they
will probably remove into larger quar-
tiers in order to open Flour, Feed and
Grain department. The Mitchell prop
erty in the 700 block is mentioned as
the probable new location. There is
an option upon this building and it
will certainly make a very fine place
for the additional venture, as the
room will admit of far more accommo-
dations and is on higher ground than
the present one.
This concern has renewed their con-
tract for advertising with the Courier,
and will, ito be sure" continue their
regular announcements at the usual
intervals.
The store carries everything in a
well equipped grocery and will put
forth every effort to supply their pat
rons with the best in the line it can
possibly obtain.

Making Run to Fire.
DR.. c. R. PARKER.
Is Prominent Practitioner in Mag
netic Science in This City.

10 TToWtHenr FfdcCltioner IN Mag
netic Science in This City.
One of the professions which is now
attracting much attention throughout
the country is that of the science Of
magnetic healing. 1t is scientifically
taught at large college in Nevada,
Mo. The Nevada institution is in
charge of Prof. S. A. Weltmer and is
doing thriving business and both the
college and Prof. Weltmer are per-
sonally endorsed by many residents of
the city in which they are located.
One of the most successful practi-
TONERS of this science is DR.. G. r.
Parker, who is located in this city.
DR.. Parker has been practicing in
Ottumwa for several years and has
hundreds of testimonials, which at
test the efficacy of this system of
treatment. He is thoroughly devoted
to his profession and is a close stu
dent of all points that pertain to it.
At a state meeting of the magnetic
practitioners at Des Moines last month
he was elected vice president of the
state association and is regarded as
one of the most thorough men in his
line in Iowa.
Dr. Parker's Office is in the Baker
office building, and he resides at 329
Lillian street, South Ottumwa.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
chauncey M. Depew in England Says
America is Far From Panic.

London, Aug. 13.-Senator Chaun-
cey M. Depew, in speaking of the finan-
cial and business conditions in the
United States, said he believed that
the recent liquidation in the stock
market, while drastic, will be health
full in clearing the financial atmos-
phere.
They have" he said, shown the
weak spots. They have been expen-
sive, but useful, as campaign of ed
ucation. 1t is popularity of the
present depression that it has no par
allel Of justification in the business
of the country. The railroads have
never done SO much business and the
purchasing power of the country is re-
Elected in the absorption of manufac-
tured and agricultural products, which
were never SO great.
Panic Unreasonable.
Industrial stocks always sell at
lower prices than the standard rail-
way stocks, because their value de-
ponds on the management, of which
the investor, who is not in the same
line Of business, KNOWS nothing. But
when industrials pay as they do now
upon current prices from 10 to 20 per
cent a panic is unreasonable and un-
natural. With it's tremendous pro-
ductive energies Americas export
trade for the first time this year is in
excess of that of any nation in the
world.
Prospect Is Bright.
ST see nothing but that substan-
tial and prosperous future will be
built on the low basis which our finan-
cial structures have now reached. 1t
has been sort of struggle between
the good and the bad among our cor
porate investments, with the survival
of the fittest. The net result will be
that gilt edged securities will resume
their normal price and the industrials
which survive with their dividend
earning power unimpaired will COM
mand a better position than ever.
''It is fortunate that this cataclysm
happened midway in the presidential
term, otherwise 1t might have been
complicated with partisan purposes
and inextricably involved with polit-
ical interests so as to affect the gen.
eral prosperity and business OF the
country"

THE BURLINGTON CUTOFF FROM
STREET TO oTTuMwA.
Has TAKEN ALMOST THREE YEARS
Will Give Burlington a Double Track
System From Chicago to vilIisca-
Will Reduce Grade and straighten
the Track.

Within about sixty days just east of
Ottumwa there will be completed one
of the most gigantic tasks in railroad
building undertaken in Iowa in recent
years. When the cutoff which has
been built to straighten the track and
reduce the grades between Ottumwa
and Street small station about one
and one-half miles east of Agency
has been completed, the Burlington will
be the possessor of double track sys-
TEN from Chicago to point a few
miles west of Villisca.
The Strengthening of the Burlington
track and the reducing of the grades
between Ottumwa and Street has been
a stupendous task. 1t has cost approx
imately $1,500,0O0. 1t has taken large
forces of men aided by the best procur-
able machinery the better part of three
years to bring it SO near completion.
Reduces Distance, Time and Grade.
When completed it will reduce the
distance between Street and Ottumwa
which is now seven and one-half miles
to six and one-half, 1t will reduce the
grade, which at one place, the Agency
hill, was seventy-five feet per mile to
the Burlington standard which is thir-
ty-tiye feet, and it will do away with
the many tortuous curves which have
made fast running almost impossible.
The great gain will be made in the time
of running, the heavier loads which
can be hauled and the cutting off of the
expense Of the pusher engine from
Agency to Ottumwa which the Agency
hill necessitated.
Route of the New Line.
The new track leaves the old main
line at Street. one and one-ahlf miles
east Of Agency and passes through
Agency on the south instead Of the
north side Of the town as formerly.
This has necessitated the changing Of
the depot from its old location to
new one on the south side.
From Agency the new track comes
almost directly west, keeping on the
south side Of the old track all the way.
AS the tracks near Ottumwa the lines
grow nearer together and they cross a
short distance east of Ottumwa at
point about halfway between the tel.
egraph office and the bridge by which
the Burlington tracks cross the old Ft.
Madison right of way.
A Big Fill.
At Sugar Creek two thirty-five foot
stone culverts have been built and ov-
er these and between Franklin park
and the bluff on the east side Of the
creek, a distance of perhaps three
quarters Of a mile there is the biggest
fill Of nearly two hundred feet, along
the entire Burlington Route, and per-
haps the biggest in the state Of Iowa.

DUBUQUE LOSES.
Waterloo Gets Division Headquarters
of Illinois Central.

WdtSTloo 1SIS DiviSlon f1eaQquaftefS
of Illinois Central.
Dubuque, Aug. ia proposition to
make Waterloo instead of Dubuque
the division headquarters of the Illi-
nois Central, seems to have been final
ly acted upon by the officials of the
road in favor of the plan. Such ac-
ton has apparently been pending for
some time past, and though the local
officials are reticent in the matter, as
sorting that they have received no
advice from headquarters of any such
change, and on the other hand they
make no denial that such a movement
has actually been under discussion for
some time past.
The Second Time.
The change makes this city mere
way station. Several years ago Du-
buque lost the Central and the Great
Western shops, the latter being re-
moved to Waterloo, where now about
5000 men are employed. Now, once
more, that city profits by Dubuque's
loss. Tt will be the division headuuar-
tiers for Chicago, Sioux City, st. Paul
and Minneapolis. The through trains
from Chicago will hereafter be split at
Waterloo, one section continuing on
the way to Sioux City and the other
going to the twin cities. The an
nouncement of the change is expected
within few days.

FIREMAN In JURED|
CLYDE cAvINs SUFFERS coNcus.
SION OF BRAIN WILL RE.
COVER.
Hose Wagon overturns on West Sec
ond Street While Making Run to a
Fire = Three Other Firemen Re-
ceive Bruises in Spill.

While travelling at terrific rate this
afternoon the hose wagon from the
central fire station overturned while
attempting to pass delivery team at
the corner of Washington and Second
streets, and Clyde Cavins, but recently
appointed to the department, suffered
a concussion of the brain by being
thrown forcibly to the pavement. R..
Wright, Harry Donaldson and e. Liv-
ingston, the other men on the wagon
were also bruised, Wright receiving a.
severe cash in the head. Drs. s. A..
sSpilman, A. O. Williams and M. Ban,
mister were called to the assistance Of
Mr.. CaVins. who was rendered partially
Unconscious by the blow. The ambu-
lance was summoned and he was TAX
en- to his home. He received a stun.
ming blow but it is thought he will re-
cover.
The wagon was being driven by
Driver Harry Donaldson. A grocer's
delivery wagon was being driven
down Second street and the driver
neglected to give the wagon suf-
ficient room to pass without passing
over the street car tracks. In cross
ing the tracks the wagon upset and
the four men were hurled to the
ground. Mr.. Cavins was on the side
OF the wagon which overturned and
he was thrown entirely over the wag-
on, his head striking forcibly on the
pavement.
Making Run to Fire.
The department was making a run
to the Wells grocery, at the corner
of Clay and Second streets, where
small blaze had been reported. The
hook and ladder wagon was behind
the hose wagon when the accident oc-
Cured and it barely averted crashing
into the other wagon. The fire was
out when the department arrived. It
was impossible to learn the name Of
the teamster in avoiding whom the
wagon upset, as he drove off immed-
lately.
