1T was joke, of course 1t was. Some
people in the town thought it was In
earnest and got awful mad; others were
tickled to death; but the pesky news
papers were what got me into trouble
A man came out from Chicago and wrote
1t all up, then the ST. Paul and New York
papers took it up and the letters COM
menced to pour in. Since then letters
have been coming to me from girls. grass
widows and unmarried women all over
the world-yes, stree, all over the world.
for have half dozen from LONDON,
one from Liverpool and one or two from
Edinburgh. In this country there was
not single state in the union from
which have not received letters and
photographs.
The other day got a letter from a
lady in Louisville, Ky. 1t was a nice.
womanly letter, written in dead earnest.
and she wanted to know all about me
and said there were two or three girls
there who would like to know more of
the young men of Gowrfe. OF course /
have had some letters from girls who
were just joshing, but on the other hand
there were letters and photographs
came from real nice girls, in dead ear

Il cant say what effect the ukase has
had on our little village. The other day
an old man married a widoy-I don't
know whether she proposed or not.
There have also been half dozen other
weddings in our city recently. Can't
say the women did the proposing be-
cause they were afraid of being fined

necessary"
And the mayor of Gowrie went on to
tell about some of the CORES pondence
and some of the proposals which he had
received as result of his attempt IN
make the home newspaper more inter
esting. He shook noticeably as he men
toned going into the Shrine, for, being
modest man. he had some queer fears
and anticipations, which made him col-
lect his thoughts with a great deal of
effort. On the way here from Des
Moines he had been handcuffed to an
other mans wife and then her husband
had been called, placing him in the most
embarrassing position imaginable, and |
the thought of again returning to such

Letter From A. II. Miller,

The following letter was received
Wednesday from Mr.. A. H. Miller
who was called to Galesburg, Illinois,
three weeks ago by the serious illness
of his sister:
Galesburg, H., Feb. s, 1904.
Editor Grit t-Advocate-Dear Sir:
My sisters condition is slightly i'm
proved, but not past the danger point.
A severe attack of bronchitis yielded
TO medical treatment, but her extreme
age-past 79-makes her recovery slow
and doubtful.
AT the close OF ten days treatment
to reduce swelling the y rays were
used on my injured limb. Four ex-
posures were made; two for eXamina-
tion of the foot and ankle, and two for
photographs. The result confirmed
the correctness of DR.. Blbcock's
diagnosis that no bones were broken
or displaced, but in addition to the
torn ligaments the bone that aIticu-
lates with the great toe was injured
and an inflammation had set up causing
deposit OF bone cells and a mark
thickening of the tissues. The treat
ment decided upon was to put the foot
and ankle in d plaster cast and there
by obtain fxednesS of the parts in
their relation one to the other in ord
er that the inflammation might be allay-
ed and the surplus matter absorbed.
Respectfully,
"a. H. Miller"

Tendency OF the Times,

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought Of the world is being CIV
en- to the subject. 1t is easier and bet
ter to prevent than to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that pneu
mOnia, one of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with, can be prevented by the use
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or an attack of influenza grip, and it
has been observed that this remedy
counteracts any tendency of these dis
eases toward pneumonia. This has
been fully proven in many thousands
of cases in which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence OF
colds and grip in recent years, and can
be relied upon with implicit conf
dence. Pneumonia often results from
a slight cold whom no danger is appre-
hended until it is suddenly discovered
that there is fever and difficulty in
breathing and pains in the chest. then
it is announced that the patient has
pneumonia. Be on the safe side and
take Chamberlain Cough Remedy as
soon as the cold is contracted. 1t al
ways cures. For sale by G.. Lavelle.

churia, to the head of the yellow sea
thereby shutting off the only line Of
extension for Japan's constantly in
creasing surplus population.
Japan needs more territory, for it is
already one of the most densely popu-
lated countries is the world. The only
outlet open is to the west, into Korea,
Manchuria and North China.
Russian supremacy in Manchuria
means TO Japan her hopeless cOntine.
ment in limits already too small for
her, and the probability Of rapid deca-
dence and final mastery by Russian
power.
Russia can afford to wait, and would
be glad to do SO, for Russia is growing
constantly stronger in Northern Asia.
The situation would be greatly i'm
proved if war could be postponed un-
til next J une, and sixteen months might
make Russia's position unassailable.

full limit Of their national strength.
The navy, the army the cOGnmissariat
and the transportation system are all
strung to the topmost notch. 1t is
doubtful whether Japan would ever be
in better shape than she is now for the
contest which her people and rulers
regard as inevitable, the only alterna-
tive, as they see it, being national de-
cline or extinction.
This explains the japanese demand
for a treaty by which Russia will de-
limit her frontier and SOlemnly pledge
herself to observe the line. This Rus
sia will not do, and she cannot do so
with just regard for her own needs
and interests.
When an irresistible force meets an
immovable body, the only thing to do
is TO fight it out on that line, if it

To Stamp out Cattle Disease.

Within the next four months it is
planned by the government to place
fourteen federal inspectors OF cattle in
Colorado and neighboring states, to
stop tho shipping Of cattle infected
with cattle scab or mango. George
Hickox Of the national bureau Of ami
NAL industry, having charge Of all
western territory, arrived yesterday
for the above purpose He has been
making a tour of investigation through
Colorado and several ether western
states, and yesterday conferred with
Secretary c. f. Martin of the Nation
al live stock association. Mr.. HickOx
says the government is determined to
stop the shipment of cattle that are
infected with the disease Of mango,
and that rigorous means will be taken
t. stop the practice. Not only is the
loss of stock large by such practices,
but the shipment tends to spread the
disease and infect cattle all over the
west, and is a violation Of the law.
Mr.. Hckox will leave a man to inves-
tigate further, and will at once recon-
mend t. the government the naming
of at least fourteen inspectors. These
officials will at once mark out the
herds that are infected and if any at
tempt is rnade to ship such stock the
shipments will be stopped, unless the
cattle are first dipped DR.. Lowell
