Notice to Subscribers


1t is common saying that we
learn by experience. When the
present publisher stepped into the
editorship of The Press he had u
theory about what was the right
or most successful way to make
a local newspaper a profit
able enterprise. That theory
was that everybody would lake a
city weekly, the publishers Of
which were in the habit of giving
country publishers a lower rate
than others. Thus we thought we
could print The Press for one
dollar alone or for 81. 25 to 1, SO in
combination with some other
paper. But the theory has been
rudely shaken up by the following
letter, which is self-explanatory:
SIOUX CITY, JAN. /, 1904. s
E. p. THoRNE, Forest City, S. ID:
Dear Sir:-The close of the year. 1908
brings us face to face with serious loss
in our ready print department. Increase
of price of labor and all other factors of
production is responsible for this, and we
are compelled to make the price per quire
to you for the present SC, for your regular
folio. and Soc for printing the extra mage.
This is as low as it is possible for US 70
come out even on.
Market conditions are more settled now
and we confidently hope no further In
crease will be required.
Trusting this will meet your approval.
and wishing you a prosperous new year,
Yours Very Truly,
SIOUX CITY PRINTING Co.
In consequence of the above we
are compelled to restore the sub.
scription price of The Press to it's
former terms, viz: S1.50. But to
make this equitable to those of
our friends who have stood by us
since we lost our printing press by
fire three years ago we will give
all of them chance to pay up, as
we'll as for one year in advance,
under the old rateof Sl.OO, provid-
ed they take advantage of it inside
of two months from the date of
this issue.

BULLET HOLE IN HEAD.

Hot Springs, Ark. May 16.- Grewson,e evidence of a murder was discovered by a party of huckleberry hunters on a moun- tain about five miles from this city. The decayed body of an unknown man was found with a bullet hole in the back of the head. No firearm was found near the body and indications are that a foul murder was committed about three months ago. The body was decayed beyond recog- milton and the grinning skull was several feet from the body. A gold wire pin forming the word Annie" was all that was found on the body that could possibly lead to identification. The man was of medium size, with dark, curly hair.

BIC FACTORY
 FOR JACKSGNPORT.
Heading Plant Employing Seven ty-Five Men Will Probably
 Locate There.

H. L. Kendall of Chicago, rep resenting big heading factory at Huntsville, Alabama, where they have exhausted the raw ma- terial supply, was here Tuesday and expressed himself as highly pleased with gacksonport for a location.
 The Jacksonport Improvement Company, composed of public spirited citizens of that town, has offered the company a fine site for the factory, which will use about twenty-five acres and em- ploy nearly seventy-fve men.
 The company, MT. Kendall represents, doesnot ask anything beyond the site and if MT. Ken dall's recommendation goes through the big Huntsville, Ala. !, plant will soon be moved there.
 It is a big thing for the little town OF the mauth of Black river, and Newport, too, will de rive much benefit from it's l0ea- tion there.
 There is abundance of the raw material on Black and White rivers to insure the operation of the plant for many years, in the opinion of MT. Kendall, who is thoroughly in favor of this loca- tion.

COMPLETE ROSTER
 OF EX-CONFED'S.

Little Rock, May 17.-CoL s. H. Nowlin, who has charge of the work of compiling the roster of Arkansas troops who served in the Confederate army, is making much headway with the work. He announces that he has secured the entire roster of the generals and field officers of all the regiments and battalions who served in Arkansas during the war, either in Confederate or state troops.
 ''This roster was secured for me by Col. V. Y. Cook" said Col. Nowlin yesterday, land is the best information I have yet received in my work. It is a complete list and goes a long way toward helping me in the work of compiling the complete roster of troops. As this roster gives the names of all generals and field officers correctly, the work of securing the names of the men who served under them should be easier"

Par acamph is recommended as a modern scientific treatment for all Rheumatic Swellings and Neuralgia troubles. It re- 1ieves on Natures plan. That IS when applied it opens the pores, penetrates directly to the seat of the ailment soothing the infamed skin. muscles and joints re- ducingt he swelling by removing the con- gestion, drawing out the fever and infam- nation by inducing sweating. It sweats the disease out of the body through the pores of the skin. This is why Para camph is superior to the many internal strong, drastic drugs that upset the stom- ach. shatter the nerves, and undermine the general health. Our guarantee IS made to convince you of our faith in Par acamph. We have of course, tested its merits thoroughly in many and various cases. We know therefore exactly what it will do. So don't hesitate, but get bottle of Paracamph today, and after two or three applications you will be convinced that we claim only for Paracamph exactly what it will do.
