A Good Thing

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of DR. A Boschee, accelerated Ger
man physician, and is acknowledged
to he one of the most fortunate discov-
cries in medicine. 1t quickly cures
coughs, colds and all lung troubles of
the severest nature, removing, as it
does, the cause of the affection and
leaving the parts in strong and
healthy condition. 1t is not an exper
imental medicine, but has stood the
test of years, giving satisfaction in
every case, which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two mill
ion bottles sold annually. Boschee's
German Syrup was introduced in the
United States in 1868, and is now sold
in every town and village in the civil
lied world Three doses will relieve
g " ordinary cough. Price Is cents.

the action of my kidneys and

competency. However, in order
to forget the old scenes, she
soon left Washington and went
to Newburg, Conn. Before
leaving Washington one of the
children died, and at Newburg
two of the others passed away,
leaving her but one son. He
grew to manhood and came
west, entering the service of
the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad, and making his head
quarters at Council Bluffs. The
mother followed him and after
d few months in Council Bluffs
she went to Missouri Valley,
returning here two years ago,
after her last son had died. She
is now living at 317 South
Eleventh street.
Since this last bereavement
the countess has failed notice
ably. She is now suffering from
an attack of pneumonia and is
also the victim of nervousness.
Caroline, the negro servant, has
also been seriously i'll for the
last nine weeks with inflam-
matory rheumatism, and when
she became unable to look after
her mistress Mrs. Grace Guth-
rie, a professional nurse, was
called and has been with them
ever since. AS soon as the two
patients are able to be moved
they will be taken by Mrs.
Guthrie to her home on Avenue
B.
Among the few quaint pic
lures which adorn the wallis of
her modest home is an old da-
guerreotype of Countess de
Zeyk taken when she was a
young girl. Hers was a beauti-
iful oval face, full of intelli-
gence. She still preserves the
pictures of her children by
both marriages, but keeps only
the picture of her first husband.
She is said to have a consider
able amount of money, but that
it not available, having lent a
large sum to an acquaintance
and living on the interest.
Next June she will celebrate
the S0th anniversary of her
birth. She endures her suffer
ing and illness with great for
bearance and is almost a model
patient. She was reared a
Presbyterian and is yet a
staunch believer in it's teach
ings.

ming through the same do most
of the dredging. The ditch was
dug so late last fall, owing to
injunctions, ETC., that the
ground froze up before it could
be determined what the result
would be. This spring the
water is running through the
cut in a good widestream about
six feet deep, and is doing all
that Mr.. Smith said it would in
the way Of carrying the dirt
into the Missouri river.
The Missouri River is on the
boom, and a five foot rise is re-
ported at Sioux City yesterday.
The thawing of snow in the Da-
kotas is sufficient to account for
the present rise in the river.

COUNTESS LIVES I'M COUNCIL
BLUFFS.
Once Famous WASHINGTON Beauty
Ending Her Days in This
City.

City.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil:
! Broken in health and bereft
of all her children, Countess
Elizabeth de Zeyk, once the
daughter of a proud old Wash
ington family, and the wife OF
a titled Hungarian, is spending
the closing years of her life in
Council Bluffs. The story of
her life is much like a novel
| it needs only a few flashes OF
imagination to make it one OF
the most picturesque which was
ever portrayed. Watched over
and cared for many years by
her faithful negro servant, Car
oline Burnette, she is still, at
the age of nearly so years,
keenly sensitive of her sur
roundings and extremely reti-
cent concerning what she right
ly considers her wrongs. The
]colored woman, who is about
her own age, is still with her, a
devoted servant.
Elizabeth McClelland was
born in Washington, d. c., in
June, 1924, where she grew to
womanhood. On account of
the wealth and position of her
family it was only natural that
she should take a prominent
place in the society of the cap
ital. This she did with an ease
which was one of her greatest
charms. Hardly had she passed
her school girl period when
she was accepted by the most
exclusive circles of Washington
society, and at the age of 20
she was engaged to William
Whittlesey, their marriage be-
ing a notable event i'm Wash
ington a few months after their
betfothal was announced. She
continued to reside in Wash
ington and became the mother
of three children one daught-
er, and two sons.
Her affections seemed to be
gin with the death of her hus-
band, his demise being followed
by that Of all the children in
turn. Several years later, after
apparently regalnlng her lost
spirit, she made a second entree
into society, and was admired
more than ever. Her sadness
and trials were not endured
without leaving their mark, but
this was not an unfavorable
one. She was as much a favor
ite as of old.
OF the many titled foreign
ars who were in Washington
Albert de Zeyk, a young Hun
garlan count, was the one who
saw and admired her most. He
sued for her hand and won it.
They were married secretly and
sailed for Italy, where the
count had a diplomatic position,
before their most intimate as
sociates had learned of their
marriage.
Happiness again seemed
within the grasp of the young
American woman, but again she
was doomed to a disappoint-
ment, which was all the more
humiliating than her other
troubles on account of the dis
grace. Like many American
girls who marry titles, she Sc
cured the title, but the claim
was worthless. Albert de Zeyk
proved a dissipated and pro-
fligate husband, and after a few
long but tempestutous years,
she separated from him. They
had lived most of the time dur
| ing their welded lifein France,
where three children were born,
the first having been born in
Italy.
The mother, with her chill
dren and her faithful nurse,
Caroline, who had attended her

The supervisors Tof Harrison,
Monona and Pottawattamie
counties will meet next Tues
day at Missouri Valley to dis
cuss and familiarize themselves
with the new drainage law just
enacted by the state legislature.
The new law, it is understood,
will not affect the contracts for
the Harrison Pottawattamie
county drainage bitches let last
year, and the contractors, R. A.
Brown & Co. of Washington,
Ind, and w. A. Smith & Co. of
Missouri Valley are preparing
to get the work under way.
The only change under the
new law which will have to be
made will be the assessment of
the benefited property. This
assessment was made by COM
missioners appointed by the
auditors of the two counties.
The new law provides that the
assessment shall be made by
three commissioners who shall
classify the benefited lands. In
the case ola joint ditch district
between two counties, as in the
case of the Harrison-Pottawa
tamie county bitches, one com
missioner shall be selected by
the Board of Supervisors of
each county and these two com
missioners shall then select a
third.
The new law also provides
Cnat the contracts Shall be
awarded by the county board
and not by the auditor, as here
tofore. The contracts for the
Harrison-Pot PottaWattamie county
bitches were let by the auditors
of the two counties, but the
new act legalizes all previous
actions in this respect up to the
assessment of the benefited
lands, which must be done again
by the commissioners appointed
by the county board and not by
the auditors.

 Prior to the last three amendments to the constitution of the United States, the murder of Naples could not under the cir cumstances, constitute an offense against the United States. If congress has the power now to punish the offense in any phase of it, that power must be found in the thirteenth and fourteenth amend ments to the constitution of the United States. Is it contained in either or both |?
 ''The thirteenth amendment provides: 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary ser vitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United
