j. Harvey Preston.

The remains of j. H. Preston,
who died at the home of his
son in Waverly last Friday,
were brought here for burial
Monday, the funeral being held
from the home of his daughter,
Mrs. c. A. Nelson. Mr.. Preston
was born in this town Sept. IA,
1929, and lived all but about IL
years of his life here. In his
early life he was a contractor
and builder and later a wheel
wright, but on account of poor
health was obliged to give up
these pursuits and engaged in
farming, about 8 years of this
time in Francestown. Nearly
four years ago Mr.. Preston dis
posed of his farm and went to
live with his son in Waverly,
Mass.
Mr.. Preston always lived a
quiet unpretentious life and
was highly respected for his
honesty and upright dealings.
Fifty-two years ago he married
Lucinda Mellen, who survives
him, and three children were
born to them, John S. w. of
Waverly, Mrs. C. A. Nelson of
this town and William H. of
Boston. Four sisters, Mrs.
Amoret Heath, Mrs. Lizzie
Straw, Mrs. Evelyn Foster
and Mrs. Anna Clement also
survive him. The funeral was

and burial was in Deering.

Civil Engineer Wattles tells

from the bridge over the Sea-

Illinois Central depot at Rode,
on to the foothills, where the
road passes up towards Beebee-

some $4,000, was borne by sub

Civ ng much of it, the city
S me and the merchants of

been raised above the highest
mark ever reached by the
floods and will afford a most
excellent roadbed for many
years to come. Now let us have
one leading northwest from
town and one southwest. Then
let us begin at once under the

Onawa, Ia, May 10. Senator
Ernest L. Hogue, of Blencoe,
whose candidacy for railroad
commissioner was announced in
a Des Moines dispatch this
morning, was in town today
and says the announcement of
his candidacy is an error; that
he is not a candidate and does
not expect to be. That while
mention of his name had been
made at the Cherokee conven-
tion and other places, he does
not expect to be in the field,
although he feels that a candi-
date from the Eleventh district
would have a reasonable show
for success.

Supervisor Edgecomb has a
gang of men at work today
cleaning out the tubing at the
Cox fill east Of the city. The
tubes were found to be filled
with brush. Mr.. Edgecomb's
idea is the correct one, and that
is that the waterways under
the fill should be constructed cf
stone and about eight feet
openings should be left under
each section. In this way it
would be impossible to clog
them up with brush. When the
fills are constructed in this
manner the county will save
money and trouble.
c. H. Deur yesterday finished
spraying $500 trees in his big
orchard east of the city. He
says that the apple trees this
year are not blooming half as
strong as they did last year.
The small fruit, such as berries,
etc, are in fine shape and the
cherry and plum trees are
fuller of bloom than they have
been for several years. Mr..
Deur has the finest orchard in
Harrison county and he thinks
that this year will be a good
one for fruit.

The Mems Club.

The Mems Club.
The debate last night at the
Presbyterian church was in
excellent spirit and showed
both preparation and talent in
the contestants. j. B. Lyon, in
opening the debate, felt sure
that the question as to whether
U. S. senators should be elected
as at present by the legislatures
of the different states, or by
the direct votes of the people
a question agitated for 80 years
past would be forever settled
by the Mems Club of Missouri
Valley. Although he went into
the conflict short of a man, he
was sanguine of victory--the
peoples wishes must win-but
he expressed a fear that some
one of his opponents would
take his scalp. A speaker on
the other side, the dome of
whose head shone like polished
ivory, declared his fearlessness
OF scalping, as no barber even
could trim his hair pompadour.
Mr.. Bruce Fleming, after
working up to the fighting
point with some good stories
which he hated to tell lest they
were not new-then went into
the law books of the realm and
cited the chapter and section
which gave the Senate of the
United States it's origin and
went on in rhetorical fashion
to relate how "the ship of state"
had weathered many a storm
the congressman as crew and
the senators as officers. and the
president as captain. He could
easily have given more history,
but out of compassion he re-
Trained, not wishing to keep
the club there all night. Editor
Sniff was thoroughly at home
on this question had written
weighty editorials and prose
poems in the columns of the
News for years and knew all
the joints in the old harness
and all the obsolete portions of
governmental furniture. He
did we'll.
The chaplain of the club was
pressed into the fray and
tugged for five minutes at the
frayed out ends of the argu-
ments woven by "our friends
the enemy" He said that the
wise old heads that had CON
cocted the plan of our double
legislature had all the model
governments of the world to
compare and they had evolved
one which had stood for over a
century, and that of unpar-
alleled progress eve had bet
ter let we'll alone" In a coun-
try graveyard stands a tomb
stone on which is inscribed the
following lines:
81 was we'll,
wanted to be better,
| took medicine and so am
here"
AS Mark Hanna said "Let us
continue to let we'll enough
alone"
DR.. Colt presided with his
usual dignity and good taste.
His goodnight closed a very
agreeable meeting of the club.

ELLIOTT 6 HARVEY RELY up
ON HYOMEI.
Cures Colds. ccushs, Catarrh
and Grip. Just Breathe II.

Cures Colds, Coughs, Catarrh
and Grip. Just Breathe II.
Hyomei is natures own
method for curing catarrh,
colds, coughs and diseases of
the respiratory organs. 1t is
the only natural treatment for
the cure of these troubles.
Breathed through the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, the air that passes
into the throat and lungs is
identical with that on the
mountains, where it is laden
with healing and health-giving
balsams. 1t searches out and
kills disease germs in the most
remote and minute air cells of
the head, throat and lungs, it
soothes and heals all irritation
of the mucous membrane.
Hyomeiis prescribed by phys
icians generally. Many of
them use it themselves to break
up a cold and prevent pneu-
monia.
The complete Hyomei outfit
consists of a neat inhaler, that
is so small and convenient that
it can be carried in the pocket
or purse, a medicine dropper
and a bottle of Hyomei. This
costs but 81, and it will cure
any ordinary case of catarrh.
In chronic and deep seated con-
ditions, longer use is necessary
and extra bottles of Hyomei
can be obtained for SOC, making
it a most economical treatment
for this disease.
Elliott & Harvey have so
much confidence in the power
of Hyomei to cure catarrh and
other diseases of the the throat
and lungs that they sell it
under their personal guarantee
to refund the money to any
purchaser in case it fails to give
satisfaction. They take all the
risk themselves, and Hyomei
costs you absolutely nothing
unless it does you good.
