AS G. W. trudged down the street
after breakfast he tried manfully to
whistle, but somehow he had "lost his

inal George had encountered such ex-
periences. 1t seemed to him that if
his hero had been entrusted with the
mailing of important letters perhaps
another story might have been writ
ten.
After the interview in the shed G.
w. decided that he did not care to go
skating. as he had originally intended.
Instead, he gladly accepted a commits
sion to take a note from Luella to
DICK Garfield. There was usually a
quarter in that for him.
Garfield had been counting Lucia
Tor some time. but they had kept it a
secret for several reasons. the most
important of which was Mr.. Demar-
ests declaration that Luella should
not encourage the attentions of any
young man until her twentieth BIRTH
day had been passed.
Luella was now a little over eigh-
teen. Garfield was twenty and they
mad decided to be married when Lu-
ella's age permitted. Only G.. w. had
peen permitted to know of their plans,
and that because he was so useful as a
messenger.

Here Are "A Few Regions I'm which
Life Is Not JOY.
AS places of residence neither the
Bahrien Islands in the Persian Gulf
nor the city of Yakutsk. Siberia, have
much to offer in the way of climate.
In Bahrien you cook and in va
kutsk you freeze. Bahrien is said to
be the hottest place in the world.
The Thermometer often registers be-
tween ITO and 100 degrees night and
day for months at a. time. This rather
beats Fort Yuma. Arizona. which is
considered the hottest place in the
United States.

Though Yakutsk is the coolest city
In the world. Verkhoyansk i'm north
eastern Siberia, claims to be the cold
est. inhabited place on the globe, the
thermometer registering 80 degrees
below zero in January.
1t also claims to be the place pos
sessing the most variable climate: for
while it is 80 below in January. it is
Sc above in the shade in August dur
ing the day with a drop down to freez-
ing every midsummer night.
The wettest place in the world is
Greytown, Nicaragua, where the an
nual rainfall is 260 inches.
The dryest place in the world is
probably the Rainless Coast of North
ern Chill. They have shower there
about once in every ten years. Moth.
ing grows on this desolate strip of
barren coast, and the dreary towns
from which the nitrates and the min.
erals mined in that region are shipped
depend for their subsistence upon food
brought to them in ships from the
fertile strips to the north and south
of the desert.
Northern Russia and the shores of
| the French Congo are said to be the
| cloudiest places in the world. and for
! fog there is no region like the Grand
| Banks, the southern coast of New
foundland and the waters off Nova
Scotia.
This region is one Of fog large
part of the year; and the very home
of the fog is the island of Grand
Manan at the entrance of the Bay of
Fundy, where the sailors declare. the
natives manufacture fog. When bank
of especially thick fog is seen APP

COIOrs--Large Figured silks shape
Exquisite Bags.
The new handbags and card cases
show even more extravaganza and
beauty than their immediate predeces-
sors. They are the costliest affairs in
their respective lines ever turned out.
The handbags are large and have
long, straight metal tops, with most
of the ornamentation upon the tops in
stead of the sides. They open by pres
sure on the top, or with a clasp, and,
instead of a metal chain or round
leather handle, are fitted up with an ex-
ceedingly stylish looking leather strap,
no wider than a finger, and very thin.
This strap is knotted in a single loop
at the top, merely for purposes OF in
dividuality as the loop gives quite an
air Of cache to the strap. These straps
are In the same tlnts as the leather Of
which the bag IL made, and when silk
Is employed the strap Is OF the color
that prevails IN the silk.
The bags OF thin, dressed leather, In
dainty cOlorG, are pleated the whole

OzOENA GNAWS THE BONE.
BLOOD Wine Cures This Terrible
Phase of Catarrh.

That awful odor and terrible breath
mat comes from some people Is caused
by Ozoena, an advanced stage of ca
tarrh - the point where the bone bor-
oerlng the nasal passages the poste-
rlor cavities commences to decay, and
tnere comes from the head a steady dis
charge of yellow mucous which smells
6readfully. Catarrh is a diseased con-
dltion of the mucous membranes, and is
caused by poor nourishment of the
membranes by the blood i'm other
words, diseased condition of the blood
which causes Ozoena and consump-
ton.
Blood Wine quickly stops ali those
asgraVating features of the annoying
aud fatal disease, such as mucous dis.

throat, excessive secretions from the
nose, splitting up of hard chunks, watery

HE REPUD|ATES
PARKER TICKET.
MAXWELL REFUSES SURRENDER
TO WALL STREET.
BITTER IN HIS DENUNcIATIoN.
Burns All Bridges Behind Him and
Relinquishes Place as Chairman
of Iowa Democratic State
Central Committee.

Seymour, Ia, July 1S.-A. w. Max
we'll has ended the fight over the
craftsmanship of the democratic state
central committee by his signed
statement, in which he repudiates the
actions of the democratic national
convention in st. Louis, formally de-
clares that, in his opinion, there is
nothing in the platform or the candi-
date which will warrant him in re-
naming loyal to the ticket as nomi-
mated, tenders his resignation as a
member of the committee and relin-
pushes all claim on the craftsmanship.
His statement is as follows:
Seymour, Ia, July IL Unable
to countenance, aid or support the
candidates or platform of the st.
Louis convention, have rendered
my resignation as member of the
state central committee, and as
chairman of the same body. The
announcement of my determine
ton to repudiate the ticket has
been delayed until this date in an
effort to persuade myself that
there was enough good in the can
didate and the platform to justify
me in remaining loyal to the ticket.
Thus far | have discovered abso-
lutely nothing to commend it to the
voters of the country. It's surren-
der to Wall street has been so CON-
plete as to leave no doubt of the
party's further course. Dominated
as it is by the trusts of the country,
l can see absolutely no hope for the
party in the future and no hope for
the country if by accident Parker
and LAWS should be elected. Inc
party has been bound, gagged and
delivered bodily into the control OF
the very interests | have been fight
ing for the past eight years, and If
it's candidates, who are subservant
to the Standard Oil company and
their trusts, shall be elected, it
must be without my aid or sanction.
l shall in the near future issue a
more extended statement of my rea-
sons for refusing to support the
ticket. In view of my inability to
support the ticket, l, o. course shall
not attend the convention at Iowa
City.

HEIR TO BIG FORTUNE.
Scared by Telegram But Revived
With the Good News.

Keokuk, Ia, July IS. - Alighting
from train, which brought him from
Des Moines on the receipt of tele-
gram urging him to make all haste,
Albert G.. Shaffer, Des Moines sta
tionary fireman, found that his wife,
whom, from the wording of the tele-
gram, he had presumed he would find
dead or dying, was in extremely good
health, but that he had fallen heir to
a fortune of $4,000 by the will of an
uncle in California, who died possess
ed of valuable fruit estates.
The telegram which summoned Mr..
Shaffer gave no intimation of what
he might expect upon his arrival in
Keokuk. Believing the worst had be-
fallen his wife, ne Immediately board
ed train without waiting to remove
his overalls and traces of labor. He
stepped from the train in state Of
excitement, expecting to find his
worst suspicious correct, but found in
stead an attorney awaiting him with
the information that 100000 was in a
local bank at his disposal

FRIEND OF BRYAN.
Former Law Partner Talks of Result
of Convention.

Editor Herald The following clip
ping from the Portland Oregonian
states the position of many Bryan
democrats who were snubbed at st.
Louis:
"a. r. Talbot, head consul of the
Modern Woodmen of America, who is
making a tour of the Pacific states
looking after the affairs of the or
ganization, arrived in Portland last
night.
Mr.. Talbot's home is in Lincoln,
Nebr., and up until William J. Bryan's
first presidential campaign, he was
Mr.. Bryan's law partner. He is a
staunch admirer of Mr.. Bryan and, al
though of opposite political faith, ne
declares Bryan one of the greatest
statesmen in America today, and one,
who in spite of his political setbacks,
is destined to become still greater.
I'm the political arena of America
do not believe another man who,
like Bryan, could twice go down in
defeat and still be the power he is to-
day His attitude in the recent DEM
ocratic convention, beyond all doubt,
stamps him a truly wonderful man. l
believe he is greater now than be-
bore. In my state he is still popu-
lar idol. The state you know is re-
publican, and while we expected a
10000 majority for Roosevelt, now
that Judge Parker has given to the
world his startling declaration, we
will swell the majority fully 10000
more. Personally I think Judge Par
ker made grave mistake in sending
his message. Being a republican
can't help but rejoice that he did, but
in my opinion he should have declar.
ed himself before he received the
nomination. 1t must have been very
humiliating and extremely embarrass'
ing to the convention, and l look to
see the whole of Mr.. Bryans follow
ing go over to the republican party.
I know this will be so in my state, for
Nebraska is proud of H.. Bryan"

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Judge Clements Renders Judgment in
Several Cases.

Judge Clements gave some decis-
ions this morning in important cases
tried previously before him.
The Nugent case was determined
for the plaintiff, w. r. Nugent, and
the gentleman was given possession
of the equity in the Mahaska County
Bank building which was in contro-
versy. The case was heard to the
court, Judge Clements, at the October
term, 1908, and has been under adj
visement to the present time. The IT,
tie of the case was w. R. Nugent VS..
w. o. Nugent, and the matter at issue
included the worth of considerable
property and the legal ownership
thereof The case at hte time of trial
was contested at every point and be-
came quite complicated in the num-
Der of law points involved. Lacey
& Lacey and Bolton & Bolton appear
ed for the plaintiff, and L. c. Blanch-
ard and J. o. Malcolm for the defend
ants. w. o. Nugent has given notice
of appeal to the supreme court.
The probate case of Margaret Ann
Bell Shaw VS.. J. G.. Harold, admin
istrator of the estate of E. A. Wilson,
deceased. A question involving about
seventy-fve thousand dollars worth
of property, was decided in favor or
the defendants.
A number of other matters were
heard by the court but the above are
the more important ON account of the
issues at trial in the controversies.

Ex-Governor Packard, manager OF

that they would lack only few votes
