C.. G.. Williams found a ladies
pocket book this morning. He
was on his way to the depot and
picked up the pocket book on
the crossing. When he returned
lit to the owner she was the hap
piest lady in town. She was a
stranger here and was on her
way to Nebraska, and having
an hour to wait for her train
came up town. On her road back
to the depot she dropped the
purse, which contained quite an
amount of money. 1t was a
lucky thing for her that the
purse was found by an honest
man.

MAY MEAN EXTENSION.
Illinois Central Officials on Teu,
81 INSPECTION at Onawa.

Onawa, Ia, Aug. q A spec
ial train of cars, with the offic-
ials Of the Illinois Central rail
road, including the general
manager and the assistant gem
eral manager, spent consider
able time in Onawa yesterday
inspecting their properties here.
Just what their particular bust
ness was no one seemed to know,
and the officials did not state,
but seemed to be giving a thor
ough look at everything around
the yards.
Their visit he's revived the
old talk of an extension Of the
road. When the Illinois Central
came into Onawa it was sup
posed the road would be extern
ded west at an early date, but
so far, aside from rumors, there
have been no indications of an
extension. There has also been
considerable talk of extending
the road south to a connection
with the Omaha and Fort Dodge
line near Missouri Valley. At
any rate their visit has caused
considerable speculation as to
the object.
Geo. II. Williams leaves for
Chicago Sunday evening to pur-

Suicide Prevented

The startling announcement
that a preventive of suicide had
been discovered will interest
many. A run down system, or
dependency invariably precede
suicide and something has been
found that will prevent that
condition which makes suicide
likely. At the first thought of
self destruction take Electric
Bitters. 1t being a great tonic
and nervine will strengthen the
nerves and build up the system.
It's also a great stomach, liver
and kidney regulator. Only soc.

The Death Penalty

A little thing sometimes re-
suits in death. Thus a mere
scratch, insignificant cuts or
puny boils have paid the death
penalty. It is wise to have Buck
lens Arnica Salve ever handy.
It's the best salve on earth and
will prevent fatality, when
burns, sores, ulcers and piles
threaten. Only Csc at Elliott &

Anacondy, Montana, August
S, 1904. ! wish through the

Missouri Valley friends know
where | am. write this letter
in the writing room of the
Hearst Free Library, a mag
nificent building which must
have cost $4,000, presented by
the father Of Mr.. Hearst of
fame as the presidential cam
didate.
The city of Anaconda has,
they tell me, $4,000 population
and has some very fine build
ings. The Montana Hotel is a
prlncely structure, run mainly
as a convenience for the "offi-
cials" of the Anaconda Mining
Company. This company owns
the town, the railway from
Butte, the street car lines, the
chief mercantile houses, besides
"the works" or mining plant,
an enormous and costly success
sion of buildings about which
usually 10000 men are en-
ployed. The manager is spoken
|of as a delightful man and
very efficient. He reduces
|Sabbath work to the lowest
fraction and is exceedingly APP
'preciative of all efforts on the
part of the men to secure good
results. Recently in one de-
partment he felt very much
gratified and at the conpany's
expense the best of cigars were
bought and furnished to every
man. | was shown a large set
Of rooms where the men after
work put off their soiled gar
ments, take shower bath and
dress again for the street and
home going, each locking up
his working clothes until needed
again. This building is looked
after by three men, one during
each shift. The men work 8
hours a day. Wages are high,
$3.50 for lowest so1t of work,
machinists and carpenters,
$500, bricl<layers $500 a day.
The men ali seem to be satisfied
no friction. AS the works
are about 5 miles from town
the men ride to and from
work 5 cents each way.
The climate is bracing, alti-
tude $500 feet above sea level.
Grass and trees are at a prem
ium; lots are scant; houses
small. The people all act as if
only here for a while long
enough to make their pile
then will leave for some green
er spot for a permanent home.
The day heat for past two days
has been about Ito to 100 in
the sun and 80 or 80 in the
shade. Cool nights and blan-
kets refresh one. Regards to

Some three weeks ago, Fred
Michael who used to live on the
Willow northeast of Magnolia,
but who has been in California
for a couple of years, drove from
his son Earnest's, the old farm,
to Missouri Valley. The day
was warm so he laid his coat, a
dark cloth one with small white
spots in it, on the buggy seat.
Arriving at Missouri Valley he
tied his team up on one of the
side streets and transacted some
business about town. At noon
he took the team and drove
down where his wife was staying
and remained there some time.
He missed his coat and tele-
phoned home and was informed
that he had taken it with him.
He advertised for the coat, but
has not heard from it. Now he
is willing to pay all the coat
was worth when new, for it's re-
turn with papers and books that
were in the pockets. The pa
pers and books can not be of any
value to the party finding the
same, and are of value to Mr..
Michael only, because the books
were presented to. h j m by
friends, before leaving Calfor-
MIA. Now if the party who found
this coat, papers and books will
return them to Fred Michel,
Logan, r. F. D. route No. 2, he
will get the cash value Of the
coat and no questions asked
Logan Observer.
The coat was brought to the
Times office two weeks ago, and
the party finding the same said
that they had notified Mr.. Mi
chael, and requested him to call
and get the same.

Story Causes Much Annoyance
tcthe Secretary 81 State--SpeC-
tal Tags Required on Gasoline.
Des Moines, Aug. q. Spec
ial.) The secretary of state
has been much annoyed lately
by a large number of inquiries
asking for the supposed new
Iowa law requiring that cans or
vessels containing gasoline
should be painted red. 1t APP
pears that the impression has
gone out over the state that all
gasoline cans must be of red
color. The secretary of state is
required by law to have printed
the tags which are used to mark
gasoline cans and vessels, and
he has had all these made on
red paper that they may be cas-
Ter distinguished from other
tags; but there is no law requir-
ing the vessels to be Of any COL
or. 1t is believed that the story
originated with enterprising
makers of a patent gasoline can
which they had painted red,
and they started the story to
sell their goods, making the
claim that they were the only
cans that comply with the law
in full. But a great many in
quiries have come in regard to
the matter and it is evident the
fake has got we'll distributed
