THE HORSE HOSPITAL.
DR.. Parker Adds a Valuable Piece of
Equipment to His Institution.

DR.. F. F. Parker, veterinary sur
geon, has recently added a bit Of ap-
paratus to his veterinary h~ospital"on
South Second street, that makes the
place the equal Of any hospital of like
character in the state. He has just
Installed a e operating table, a.
piece of furniture that enables the
doctor to operate upon an animal
quickly and successfully, without the
possibility Of danger OF accident.
Where an operation of any severity
is necessary, chloroform is admins
tered and the operation upon the
brute is as humane as any operation
upon a human being could be made,
and no danger in administering.
The table is a huge piece of appara-
tus. When it is desired to place an
animal upon the table it is raised by
machinery to a vertical position and
the straps securing the animal there
to are adjusted while the horse is in a
standing position. The table is then
turned back into position for operat.
ing, pulling the horse down with it,
No use for the horse to struggle, for
he is absolutely fast. The dangers of
casting an animal are entirely avoided
and other attendant ills are complete
ly done away with. The top of the
table is padded and no INJURY of any
kind is possible at any time. The
tables are in use in the Chicago hos
pitfalls.
1t is the newest thing made for the
assistance of the veterinary surgeon,
and there are but few of them in Iowa.
DR.. Parker now has the mast complete
hospital in this part of the country.
His office and medicine room are in
The second story OF the building and
are entirely separate from the other
parts, making the place convenient
and adapted to all purposes.
Mr.. Parker has a number of opera.
lions pending that have been waiting
upon the installation of the new table.
He purposes having an operating day
in the near future and will have a
sort of Clinic" as it were, for exhib-
iting the advantages of the apparatus
in an operation.

dollars per day for miners. There
are now about 1000 surplus men in
the district. The entire district Is I'M
der control of the Citizens Alliance
and the Mine Owners Association. To
get work one must have a card from
the Mine Owners Association certify
ing that you do not belong to the
Western Federation of Miners, or
Union, and recommending you for
work.
The strike has not been called off
yet, although the eight-hour day for
mill men has been granted throughout
the district, and as this is what the
strike was ordered for, it is useless to
keep their men from work. The
weather has been fine here this fall.
At the present the snow covers the
ground. -Thos. Maloney.

MAN WITHOUT COUNTRY.
If Anybody Wants Him They May
Have Him.

Fremont Gazette: Tuesday County
Attorney Dan Hamilton and Supervis,
ors j. H. Tanner and Robt. Adams, of
Keokuk county, met in Fremont with
County Attorney Jas. A. Dewitt, Audi.
tor w. T. Martin and Supervisor Jas.
Stephenson, of this county, for the
purpose of determining the residence
Of one E. Kline, who was sent from
this county to the insane asylum some
thing over a year and a half ago. 1t
will be remembered by our readers
that the man went insane at the home
Of VIM. Brown, northeast of town, and
was arrested and taken to Oskaloosa,
where he was adjudged insane by the
insane commissioners, who certified
Mahaska county as his residence. The
board of supervisors object to paying
the state the cost Of keeping him on
the grounds Of his being a non-resi-
dent and are determined to find out
his residence If possible. One thing
is certain, and it is that he has not
been a resident of this county for
thirty years and always claimed Keo-
kuk county as his home. The cost Of
keeping and other expense now
amounts to about $500, and from the
fact that the commissioners certified
this county as his home the burden of
proof lies with this county. The
meeting between the officers Of the
two counties at this place Tuesday
was without result and another meet
ing was arranged for after a more ex-
tended investigation has been maze.

A TRIP TO CRIPPLE CREEK.
Former OskaIoosa Gentleman Writes
Interesting Letter.
Cripple Creek, Colo, Dec. 3.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Dec. 3.
Editor Herald On Wednesday
morning, Nov. 80, at 8 O'Clock, we
boarded the D. & R. G. train at Den
yer for Cripple Creek, Colo. The road
follows the foot hills at about fourteen
miles distant all the way to Colorado
Springs. Fifty miles west Of the
Springs, reached a region of towering
mountain peaks and built at an alti-
tude of from 10000 to 10000 feet
above the sea, are the mining towns
of the Grippe Creek district. The
district is one of the greatest gold
mining centers in the world, having
produced over twenty-five millions in
gold in 1901, and a total of over one
hundred and twenty millions to date.
Almost from the start the journey
from Colorado Springs via the short
line is along a gorge up the side Of
the mountain. A beautiful view of
the Garden Of the Gods is to be had
as the train passes Colorado City.
Later the route is through Bear Greer
Canon and North Cheyenne Canon.
At the head Of the latter, Pixies Peak
comes into view to the right, and
Cheyenne Mountain to the left, while
st. Peters Dome, a rugged promon-
tory that towers above the track, is
seer straight ahead. Proceeding up
the canon, the train crawls half way
up the rocky wall, where the track
nnn hn can ufn1ino IN a~1 A,xk e&t1l
higher us. Crags, gorges and beauti-
full waterfalls mark every turn, until
beyond Cameron Junction at Hoosier
Pass, 1000 feet above the sea, Grip
pie Creek Is seer 1000 feet below.
Arriving at Cripple Creek we proceed
ed to go over the district. The dis
lance to Goldfield from Cripple Creek
is about Eeven miles. A complete
circuit is made Of the various towns
of Anaconda, Elkton and Victor, Civ.
ing n the advantage of a view from
the train of all the notable mines in
the district. There are two subur-
ban lines, namely the High Line and
the Low Line, electric, that reach
these towns every day from seven a.
m. until $3.50 p. M, the following day.
Also there Is a narrow gauge steam
railroad That reaches to these same
towns and runs trains every thirty
minutes during the day, affording the
miners and others excellent transport
alton between these same points. The
route OF the steam railroad Is near the
base Of the mountains; the Low Line
electric is higher upon the side, and
the High Line electric up near the
summit.
At present everything ID quiet In the
camp and about as many men at work
as before the strike. The monthly
pay roll is a half million. Day work
at the mines Is three dollars per day
for laborers, and from three to four

DIR. Primes Sanitarium.

Finely located on one of our hand
soonest streets, this cOmmod1ous ana
well conducted establishment will be
highly appreciated by those requiring
treatment only found at hrst-class
sanitarium. For invalids who find it
troublesome to follow the doctors direct
ion in the way of medicine. diet. exercise,
ETC.. at their residences or boarding
places, DIR. Primes Vermont Sanitarium
offers a solution of the difficulty at mod
crate prices. In connection with the
sanitarium is conducted training school
for nurses from which competent nurses
are furnished.-[ Burlington Free Press.
The above unsolicited article by one of
the daily papers in Burlington can not
fail to serve as proof positive of the re-
liability of the institution referred to.
We learn that DIR. Primes sanitarium
was established in 1895 to meet the re-
quirements OF those of the doctors out
oftown patients whom he did not wish
to treat at the hospital, their aversion
to hospital service, necessltat1ng board
ing places and nurses, and the lncurrence
of considerable expense.
Once esta blished in the present location,
the size of the building seemed adequate
to the accommodation of other physicians
in Burlington who appreciated the same
privileges, and since that time the sani-
tarium has proved a convenience, not
only to many out-of-town people desir-
string quiet, and more secluded care than
at a public hospital, but also TO many of
our best physicians and surgeons who
have patronizedi it and continue to recon-
mend it to others in the manner referred

The Plutocratic powers thought the
philippines would be a great exploiting

Well, up to date, about 100000 900

The added exports to the Philippines
have in the past six years been possibly

CANDIDATE PORTER'S RECORD

Eli Fl. Porter, the Democratic nominee
for governor served in the legislature of
1892. 1900 and 1902, and in every
one of them has been ranked by the
reporters at the press table as among
the ten leaders of the house. In
1892 ne was on the committee that
framed and carried through the bill for
the town sytsem of schools, and was
recognized as one of the leaders in that
hard fight. He also led the fight that
resulted in the defeat of the scheme for
the removal of the county seat-a
scheme in support of which Mr.. Haskins
and the nearly solid Republican politi-
clan phalanx of this county were
united. They were not thinking of Mr..
Porter as a '1ittle fellow" at that time
Porter introduced at this session also the
bill, which passed, changing the hour for
opening the polls at state and national
elections. He and 7. J. Boynton pre-
pared and drafted the license bill of that
year which Porter got MIR. Clement, as a
to introduce, and for which
the latter has always had the credit.
When Porter reappeared in the house
In 1900 he was made a member of the
committee ON rules and also of the COM
mittee On banks. At this session he in
troduced his valued policy insurance bill
and carried it through the house. but
it was strangled in the senate He was
the only speaker against the "salary
grab" bill and the Buffalo exposition bill
both of which were defeated.
In the 1902 session he was chairman
of the general committee, as well as of
the committee on final adjournment and
the committees ON rules and on banks.
Mr.. Porter's record at this session is too
recent TO need rehearsing; how he in
troduced the bin to increase state
revenue by additional taxes on corpora
lions to the amount of $1OS,o76.l5-
how by the aggressive fight made the
Republicans were driven to forego the
imposition of any direct state tax, for
the first time in history-how he vipor-
ously supported the Bundy bill for re-
duction of state expenses by $500. 900;
two measures that if they had passed
would have made difference OF from
81 to SIS to each Vermont family-how
he opposed the scheme of the bar associ-
alton and pretty much all the lawyers
to boost the salaries OF the supreme court
judges up to $4,000 a year, and with
telling speech defeated the bill-how he
re-introduced and made a gallant fight
for his valued policy .bill-how he
was member of the Democratic caucus
committee that framed and presented
the local option measure, which, except
ing for defects that were forced into ID
by its opponents, is the present law
and how he has always bean on the airing
line

doubtless under orders from preeidsnt
Roosevelt has within the past fortnight
attempted TO break the force of this
non-partisan exhibit by issuing state
ment showing that the cost Of food, at
retail prices, has increased Is per cent,
while wages in certain selected employ
ments, have increased l6 per cent.
The Vermont farmer should note well
the significance Of this best showing the
Republican Policy can make for itself.
Food, generally speaking, 10 what the
farmer sells, and when even at retail
prices, IL has advanced only Is per cent,
farmer has to buy has increased lar
more than the 30 per cent which the
whole average shows. a
AS to the alleged increase in wages,
laboring men know bettsr-the opera
tives at Fall River who are striking
against reduction that aggregated %
per cent for the same period, the men in
Chicago who are striking against a re-
duction to less than II IL cents per
hour from. the Beef Trust that has again
and again raised prices upon consumers,
while cutting them from cattle raisers.
1t may be, and doubtless is, true that
in particular industries, where the Labor
Unions have been able to control, there
has been the wage increase the Admin
istration claims, but for the labor of the
country at large it certainly is not true.
The simple truth is, from every pos
sible way of looking at it, that the
Trusts are plundering the country, as it
was never plundered before.
In future issues in this column we
shall show how there is complete and
sure cure for the Trust evil in return
to simple Democratic principles.
And how the Republican cure-pre-
tending, after building them up by
wrongful stretches of Governmental
power, to knock them over by another
stretch of Governmental power-is pure
humbug, was never intended to be any
thing else, has amounted to nothing
as in the case of this very Beef Trust,
against which the Roosevelt Administra-
ton got out an injunction year ago;
has anybody ever heard that this Trust
was hurt by it?-and under the laws Of
business can never amount to anything
