DR.. Layton's Operating Room.

DR.. H. R. Layton the we'll known sur
geon of this city, has just fitted up at
an expense of several hundred dollars,
one of the finest operating and hospital
rooms which can be found in the state
outside Of the city hospitals. 1t is To-
Gated in the second story of the new
addition recently completed at the
Park hotel, owned by DR.. Layton, being
large and well lighted, and equipped
with everything known in the surgical
world for the work of operating, includ-
ing a new operating table, lavatory,
instruments, cabinets, chairs and other
appliances, all finished in white enamel
the walls being hard finished and the
floor covered with linoleum, and every
thing in the room is anti-septic. Ad-
joining it is the hospital room, finely
finished and furnished for the comfort
of the patient, and there is a late model
stretcher cot for use in moving the
patient from the hospital to the operat-
ing room. 1t is something that the
physicians of the county have long felt
the need of, and DIR. Layton's liberality
in building and equipping it will be
duly appreciated by the medical pro-
feSSiOn.

CARROTS Speech Makes EN- squlrm

1t appears that the speech made by B.
w. Garrett, state pardon clerk, at De-
catur City on Decoration day has caused
considerable trouble in the republican
camp of the "Stand-Patters." Peculiar
as it may seem, none of the republican
papers, either county or state, that
have mention of the speech have denied
the truth of the statements he made.
One of the charges made was to the
effect that delegates to the republican
state convention ride on passes furnish
ed for no other purpose than to influence
their votes. If this is true, then Mr..
Garrett is to be commended f r his bold
attack on bribery and it could not have
been done on better day than Decor
alton day when patriotism, principle
and justice are the cardinal points for
discussion. If, however, it is not true,
then why don't the papers deny the
charge? One paper goes so far as to
call Garrett pin-head, but the reader
infers from the manner in which the
said paper squirmed that it was pin
point they had run against instead. No
man, however great, can accept free
pass from railroad company without
feeling that he is under obligation to
that company. No man, who loves his
country and respects himself, can afford
to barter away his right for free
round trip ticket to Des Moines and a
three day vacation. If he can afford to
accept such bribes the sooner he is left
at home the better for the people.

Swift & Company will Start New
Building Next Week.

The much mooted question of whether
Swift & Company would rebuild their
extensive plant in this city which was
destroyed by fire last February is now
settled, and work will be commenced on
the new structure next week, the lum-
ber for the building being on the road
to Leon and active work will be COM
menced as quick as it arrives. The
switch track was repaired and fixed up
last Saturday SO that the cars can be
unloaded at the site of the building
and large force of workmen will be
put to work on tho building, which is
expected to be as extensive plant as
the one which was burned. The new
building will embace an extensive feed
ing station and cooling room similar to
the one destroyed, contract having
been signed with the Leon creamery for
milk for one year, and with Roe Caster
for ice. Swift & Company's plant was a
great help to the business interests of
the town, as it gave employment to a
large number Of men and women, and
everyone is pleased to learn that the
plant is to be rebuilt.

MORTUARY.
Mrs. J. D. Brown,

There was gloom of sadness flashed
all over Decatur county last Thursday
morning when message was received
from Chicago with the sad news that
Mrs. J. d. Brown was dead. Mrs.
Brown had been in failing health for
several months, and after everything
possible had been done for her at home,
Capt. Brown took her to Chicago and
placed her in hospital where she had
the services of the best physicians and
surgeons of that city, but from the
time she was taken there her case was
hopeless and the family knew that it
was only a question of how long her
strength would hold out.
Clara Hoadley was born in Euclid,
Ohio, Sept. IA, 1915, and died at the.
residence of L. H. Brown, 3345 Indiana
Ave, Chicago, ILL.,, on Thursday June 23,
1904, at the age of 5s years, months
and days. when she was young girl
her parents moved to Hiram, Ohio, to,
educate their children in Hiram College,,
then conducted by James A. Garfield.
AT the age of 1G years she united with
the Christian church, being baptized by
Mr.. Everest, who was afterwards presi-
dent OF the college. In the year 1863
with her parents she came to Decatur
county and settled at Garden Grove.
removing in the spring of 1865 to Tren-
ton, Mo-, and there she was married to.

they had never met her equal.
In the spring of 1900 with her hus-
band, she united with the Presbyterian

Weather Crop Bulletin.
FOR WEEK ENDING JUNE 27, '04.
Des Moines, Iowa.

DCS VlOluOSS 1OWds
The average temperature of the week
was slightly below normal, but there
was sufficient warmth to promote the
healthy growth of all crops. The only
material drawback was excessive rain
fall in about two-fifths of the state, the
heaviest amounts being reported from
stations in the north central district,
and in the northern counties of the
central district. In the larger part of
the state the showers were timely and
beneficial. Except in. localities visited
by excessive rains, good progress has
been made in cultivation of corn and
the crop is generally making satisfac-
tory growth. AS whole the condition
of corn is materially better than at the
corresponding date last year, and in
1902.
The pastures, potatoes and garden
vegetables are making excellent growth.
Reports indicate extra good yield Of
cherries and strawberries. EARLY po-
tatoes are being used and sold in the
markets. There are but few reports of
apples dropping, and the condition of
that staple fruit crop is still promising.
The condition of wheat, oats and barley
is quite variable, the best prospects be-
ing indicated in early seeded and we'll
drained fields.
