Mrs. G. Meverden, wife of G.. Never.
den, furniture dealer and undertaken,
Elm street, residing on Park St. says:
"It is impossible to describe in ordi-
nary words what suffered from pain
in my back. Attacks of it cling to me
for years, each succeeding one more
prolonged and more painful than its
predecessor. At times my back was
so sore that I could hardly turn in bed,
and the sharp twinges I endured were
indescribable. At night in bed, the
very place where one expects rest was
the very place I never received 1t;
lying awake for hours with the result
that I arose in the morning tired and
devoid of energy. During the day 1T
was torture to 60 up or down stairs
and sometimes even climbing q few
steps brought such pain that I was
compelled to rest. A spot about the
size of my hand across my back, al
ways felt cold and plainly proved to
me that there was latent trouble.
When Doan's Kidney Pills came to
my notice went to the Shuttleworth
Drug Co. IS store for box and took
them strictly according to directions.
A few doses gave relief and q box
brought such undoubted benefit that
I bought second. This I followed
up until l had used five boxes. L have
never ceased since then to tell my
friends and acquaintances what DoanB
Kidney Pills did for me. 1 firmly be-
lieve that they saved my life. Ny
back is 50 much better and stronger
and my general health is SO much i'm
proved that feel like q different wo-
man. am in hopes that my recon-
mendation Of Doans Kidney Pills in
this way may be the means of giving
otner sufferers from backache and
kidney complaint relief such as I OBJ
tained. This is my only reason for
making the above facts public"

The Rural Mail Carriers Convention

r.
Pursuant to call the Rural Free De
livery Carriers Of Howard county met
at Cresco Monday. Dec. %, 1903, at 4
p. M, in the postoffice.
The meeting was called to order and
james h. Nichols Of Bonair was elected
chairman and w. j. Patterson of, Cresco
was chosen secretary.
The object of the meeting wae to
organize and to send delegates to the
state convention, which meets at Des
Moines, January l, 1904, to discuss the
good roads" problem and the impor.
tsnce Of the service.
Letters were received from carriers
who were unable to attend, giving their
hearty approval and asking to be counted
as members.
Il was suggested that circular letter
be printed and given to each patron on
the route, and, il possible, explain to
each how the P.O. department expects
the patrons to keep the roads open; that
the carriers have to send in q report
averylmonth stating just how the roads
are kept, how much OF the route they
could not make and the reason. Also to
try and get each patron to buy not less
than 25 cent books of stamps or one
bunch OF envelopes, during the cold
weather, as when carriers are out most
OF the day it is almost impossible to fish
pennies out OF the boxes. Also that
patrons be requested to buy their stamps,
money orders, etc. Of the carriers, and to
mail all their letters and mailable MAJ.
ter on the routes, as the carriers have to
send in reports each month to show how
many orders and stamps have been sold
and how many letters, postal cards.
newspapers, packages, etc. have been
mailed each day. This is very impor.
tant, as every piece OF mail counts one.
The law requires that 5000 pieces of mail
be handled each month to maintain 9
route. It YVES also suggested that pat.
rons be asked to keep their boxes so
that the carriers can drive up to them, as
tie last man on the route is just as anx.
ious to get his mail early as the first,

OBITUARY..

Beiern, Germany, sJuly, 6, 1920 and
died at the home OF her daughter,
Mrs. John Ratbert, near Bonair, Ia.
December %. 1903, at 3 p. m. Funer-
al services were held at Gne German
Catholic church at Cresco, Dec. 26th
at 10 a. m.
When the came to America In 1846,
She went to Milwaukee and was unit
ed in marriage to Mr.. John Dotzler in
the same year at that place. Their
union was blessed with nine children,
three of whom died in infancy and
the remaining six still living to mourn
her death are: Stephen Dotzler and
Mrs John Rathert, of Bonair, lowe;
John Dotzler, of South Germantown,
Wis; Mrs. John Drier and Mrs. Er-
nest Geirke, OF Billings, Mo. and Mrs.
Joseph Lickteis, Of iadianola, Ia.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dotz.er first settled
in Milwaukee and at the end OF II
years moved to south Germantown,
Wis where they resided until 1877,
when they came to Howard Co., Ia.
and made their home on a farm III
miles south of Bonair, where they liv-
ed until August, 1888 when their
home was broken up by the death Of
Mr.. Dotzler.
Since that time Mrs. Dotzler has
made her home with her children in
whose homes she was gladly welcom-
ed, each striving to make her content
ed and happy. In falling health, she
came to her daughter, Mrs. Rathert,
about 1S months ago.
Her fatal malady was a cancerous
tumor and only those who attended
her can realize how she suffered. All
that medical aid and loving daugh-
ter could do to relieve her was of lit
tic avail, and although her suffer-
ing was intense and long she was
patient, thoughtful aud cheerful, and
ey. molly at times, as long as she was
conscious.
She was a lifelong, consistent mem
ber of the church-kind and loving In
all her ways. - 80
OF her children Mrs. Rathert, Mrs..
LickJe,g, John and Stephen Dotzler
were with her in her last illness and

Oh! weep not for mother, sweet mother
above,
Around her are gathered Gods Angels Of
Love;
Safe, safe in yon Heaven. where all is 50
fair
Our mother, our dear darling mother ID
there,
No more shall she suffer. for all this is past,
No pestilence there spreads its wings to tho
blast, :.
No cord of affection is severed In twain,
No flower lies bleeding and dying in pain.
She lives and re joices In beauty SO bright,
Gould mortals behold her 'twould dazzie
their sight;
She lives and drejolces. Oh! shed not tear,
Though mother, dear mother. NO longer u
here.
No longer in body and yet she viii come
On pinions of light to hel dear earthly
home;
And whispers OF peace and happiness given
To our loving mother forever in Heaven.
