NEW COUNTRY HOME.
Ed Mckinley Rebuilding Home De
stroyed by Fire.

Ed Mckinley is erecting a fine new
residence on his place southeast of
the city, on the site of the home that
was destroyed by fire earlier in the
season. 1t is to be nine-room, two
story building, with all the convent
ences known to a modern country
home. The plans were drawn by Ar
chitect F. E. Wetherell, of this city,
and are complete in every detail.
The contract is in the hands of S. B.
Sinclair and the work will be pushed
along as rapidly as possible. The
excavation for the basement has been
ready for some little time, but pro-
gress of outside work was greatly
hindered by the unfavorable weather.
The worth of the completed house
will be in the neighbornood Of thirty
five hundred dollars. 1t will be one
of the finest and most comfortable
and convenient country homes in the
county.

PLANS FOR HOSPITAL.
What Cheer Doctors Working For an
Institution.

What Cheer, July ia movement
is on foot and gaining Roadway in
this city to establish hospital here
for the convenience of our physicians
and the benefit of their patients.
Doctors J. G. Williams, l.. c. Wilson,
G. D. Harlan and H. w. Raynar met
with DR.. c. B. Taylor in his Office and
organized a temporary hospital asso-
citation. DR.. Williams was made the
chairman and DR.. Harlan, secretary.
Plans were discussed and the follow.
ing committees appointed: -,
To investigate buildings suitable
for hospital-Drs. Williams and Tay-
lor. ,....--. -, - ,--------.., ..-...
To estimate cost of supplies and
hospital furnishings-Drs. Harlan and
Taylor.
To interest the fraternal orders and
business men of the city and others
in the hospital-Drs. Wilson, Raynar
and Harlan, and DR.. Hamilton, of
Thornburg.
The need of a hospital, such as is
contemplated In city like this, goes
witout saying. The physicians have
longe been obliged to take their pa,
tients to Davenport, Iowa City or OF,
tumwa when difficult operations are
necessary. This is expensive for the
patient and the doctor as we'll, and OF
ten the long trip is a hardship to
both.

CAMP CROKER BUSY.
Governors Day, Heat and Storm

Des Moines, July 49, - Yesterday
was Governors Day at Camp Croker

messed by fully $4,000 visitors. Long
before the hour set for the review the

the east of the army post were lined
with solid mass of citizens, sprink.
led here and there with little groups
of regulars from the fort, and backed
by line of carriages that stretched
the entire length of the field,
Drill Was Scorcher.
The intense heat yesterday made
the morning and afternoon drills so
uncomfortable as to be almost unbear-
able, yet the men were 10Th to COM
plain, saying that it is at least a
change for the better, as at the last
two encampments the weather re-
manned cold and rainy all the time
they were in camp and made good
drilling impossible.
Tents Blown Down.
The wind and rain caused grief
galore at Camp Crocker last night.
The rain beat into some of the tents,
others were broken down and the sol
diers were given a real touch of
camp life. No serious damage was
done.

MINISTER'S TRIAL
coYee Hit Him Hard Indeed.

A minister of the gospel writes about Postum: II was for years sufferer from headaches; sometimes they were So violent that grooming in agony I would pace the floor or garden holding my throbbing head for relief.
 T tried all sorts of remedies known to the alopathic and homeopathic schools, sometimes I thought it was caused by the stomach or biliousness and again would suspect it was purely nervousness and treated myself accordingly, but nothing ever gave me permanent relief. Having to appear be- fore the public nearly every night it was sometimes almost impossible for me to fulfill my engagements. Finally I came to suspect that the use of tea and coffee had something to do with my disorder and abruptly discontinued the use of both and took on Postum for a trial.
 From that happy hour commenced to mend; gradually got peter and better and now I do not have head ache once in six months and all my oth- CT troubles are gone too. I am now us- ing Postum exclusively and want no better beverage.
 T know of others who have been benefited by the use of Postum in place of coffee. A friend of mine here in Key West, hardware merchant, suffered for years with stomach and other troubles, while he was using cof- fee, finally he quit and began using Postum and got we'll. He is devoted to Postum and when worn and weary with business cares takes cup of it piping hot and in short time feels rested and nourished.
 Some I know have become preju- diced against Postum because careless or ignorant cooks tried to make 1t as they would coffee and will not allow il to boil full 15 minutes, but when they try it again, we'll boiled, it stays for ii Is as delicious and snappy as the mild smooth, high grade Java.n Name giv- en bp Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich
