A strange incident is reported from

adjoining that place. Mr.. Wilcox tells
a story that is hard to believe. but he
Vouches for the truth of it. and has
witnesses TO prove his statements. Mr..
Wilcox's story is none other than one
wherein an old setting hen had adopted
tiny pig. and when he tried to take 1t
from her fought for the little animal as
she would for chick day old.
a few days ago SOW on the Wilcox
farm gave birth to a litter of ten pigs.
One of the little fellows strayed from
search MIR. Wilcox came across one of
his hens, which had stolen away in an
endeavor to set. He was dumbfounded
when, in kicking the hen off her nest,
he found snugly cuddled down under her
warm body and wings. the missing pig.
The little fellow seemed disappointed
at being disturbed, but the hen was
even more than disappointed. She was
angry, and flew at Mr.. Wilcox. pecking
at him as IL she We're fighting for her
young. Mr. Wilcox says this is the first
time an incident of this kind has ever
come TO his knowledge. much less his
own observation. He thinks both the
hen and the pig should be prize VIM
ners as freaks of nature.

letic clubs of the university, has made
overtures to Mr.. Salisbury, as we'll rs
Maurice Kent, the high school pitcher.
Mr.. Salisbury has announced to friends
that he will undoubtedly enter the

are he will receive IL position on the
baseball team next spring. Salisbury
may also be tried out at foot ball
during the fall months. as he has had
considerable experience in that line, as
member of the high school eleven.
Mr.. Kent, who Is also sought by
Stage, will, it is understood, probably
enter the State University of Iowa,

MIR. Kent's brother, Carl Kent, is fell
low in physics at the university and it

4 NEW PRINCIPLE IN MEDICAL
SCIENCE.

For years it has been the practice Of med.
ical men to treat patients suffering from piles
by local. external applications. These treat.
ments give but temporary relief. but have
never affected positive cure. s.
After months of research and study, ac-
companied by actual experience with various
patients, DR.. c. A. Perrin arrived at posi-
tive conclusion as to the exact action of the
various parts of the bowel system, under
different conditions, and when subjected to
various prescriptions.
He finally prepared that wonderful inter
nal remedy known as DR.. PERKINS, PILE
SPECIFIC, which is put up in bottles, retail
ing at all reliable drug stores for SLIGO each.
This internal remedy has been on the mar
ket for the past ten years, and in all of that
time there has been but three cases where a
positive cure has not been effected.
DR.. PERKINS, Pile Specific is sold under a
positive guarantee by the druggist making
the sale, to refund the full purchase price,
providing the remedy fails to cure. This is
the absolute proof of its merit. Any man
or woman who suffers from blind, bleeding,
itching orr internal piles can try this internal
remedy with the absolute certainty that it
will cost nothing unless it cures. Here is
what one sufferer says Of this wonderful
semedy
DR. c. A. Perrin, Helena. Mont.-I wish to thank
you Tor the your wonderful medicine has done for
me. had the piles FIVE years, and under the
advice OF doctor had them removed by the knife aud

REYNOLDS RELEASED

This Morning - First Baseman HoI-
comb Succeeds Him.

A telegram to the mes-Republican
this afternoon states that Manager
Thomas Reynolds, Of the Boone club. OF
the Iowa State League, was released
by the board of managers this morn
ing. First Baseman Walter Holcomb
was chosen as acting manager. The
reason given was general dissatisfac-
ton over his work. What the real rea-
son may be has not yet been ascertain
ed, but there is every reason to believe
that the recent defeats have set heavy
on the stomachs of the Boone magnat-
es, who have demonstrated before that
they are poor losers. That Reynolds
has got together fast team cannot be
denied. Rumors of lack of discipline
among the players have been current
recently, but from this distance, at
least. they lack verification.

we finally found the condition of both

must be done.
Our minister's wife had recommend

the finest food drink made and advised
us to try it, il coffee was hurting US.
but we wouldn't believe coffee was do
ing it, so we didn't try the Postum. In
deed we forgot all about the good ladys
advice and when we finally broke down
under coffee we shifted to tea but soon
