Lively.

Things were lively around
around the depot this morning.
No. II which connects with
the early train for Sioux City
and Yankton had its engine
break down about three miles
east of Mo. Valley, and the
fagman had to walk to town
and get the switch engine to
pull him in. By the time No.
IL got in the fast mail and No.
II were both In, and things
were real lively around there.
No. II had about 300 passen-
gers for the Lincoln train and
perhaps half as many for No. 1,
the early Sioux City train. 1t
makes it lively down there when
one train is delayed and the
others have to wait for it.
Orrin Weir, who was over
come by heat Saturday even
ing at the round house, is re-
ported some better this morn

Tho Popular Lecture Course for
the Coming Winter.

Tho Popular Lecture Course for
the Coming Winter.
The committee of ladies take
pleasure in announcing the fol-
lowing which they believe will
be the MOST POPULAR course of
entertainments ever given in
Missouri Valley.
| First, DR.. Thomas e. Green,
|of Boston. 1t has been the de-
sire Of the committee to secure
some of the very greatest lee
tuners on the platform who are
new to our patrons and we feel
sure none can excel DR.. Green
in giving pleasure and profit.
The lecture bureau says owe
recommend him unreservedly. "
The Minneapolis Tribune says
''He is the greatest orator of the
day." The Boston Advertiser
says of his address before the
|Sons of the Revolution, Gle
held the audience spell bound
and at its close they were fairly
aaame, everyone rose waving
their handkerchiefs and for five
minutes there was wild cheer
ing" If the men go without
smoking a cigar all winter they
must hear DIR. Green.
Second. Miss Kathrine Ridge
way and her company need no
introduction to Missouri Valley.
"Her company" will comprise
Miss Nellie Mae Brewster So
prano, Mr.. U. S. Kerr basso, and
Mr.. Lamberson pianist. This
is said to be "the most popular
and strongest support Miss
Ridgeway has ever had.' We
feel that to have secured one of
the limited number of engage
ments that Miss Ridgeway has
made in the west is to assure
the success of our course this
winter.
If Missouri Valley people pat
ronize anything it must be DR..
Frank Tynell, third in our num-
Der. Who is he? He's the man
who organized the Law and Or
der League in st. Louis. He
has been closely associated with
Joseph Falk in his campaign
against boodlers. He's the edi-
tor of the F. P. A. News Letter,
a magazine with 100000 read
ers, and he's a st. Louis preach
er. The Daily Camera of Boul-
der, Col, says "He was in Den
yer, passing through, where
the "African Boy Choir (which
was expected) failed to appear
so he was put in it's place. The
audience of a thousand would
have been three thousand had
the public known how varied
and rich is the oratory of this
list. Louis divine. Not a soul
left while he talked and the au-
dience laughed and laughed for
an hour and thirty minutes. 1t
was great night at the Chau-
tauqua. If testimonials about
new men can be trusted sure
Frank Tynell's lecture will be a
treat.
Prof. Newens is another new
one to appear before a Missouri
Valley audience. What is he ?
He's a ''monologist" an imper-
senator, an entainer. Fred En-
erson Brooks says 81 unhesitat-
ingly pronounce him a corker-
and above all he is a perfect
gentleman. | like Newens It's
in him! 1t even sticks out, but
he can't help that" The Dan
vile Qll.) Democrat says "Mr.
Newens is a great reader" The
New York City News says "He
is an artist in the highestsense. !"

A law went into effect the
first Of this month whereby
dealers are prevented by a
heavy fine from selling gasoline
in any but red painted cans.
This is a good law and one
which will prevent many serious
accidents if generally observed.
Dealers should have their pat
rons paint their cans at once to
comply with the law Denison

1t is a matter of congratula-
ton that the first secretary of
the state agricultural society is
still alive and in good health.
This is the venerable DR.. j. M.
Shaffer, of Keokuk. He was a
practicing physician for many
years and continued up to a few
| years ago when he retired. He
has always taken a lively inter-
est in the work of the society.
He was not only first secretary,
but continued as secretary for
many years and much of the
success Of the early fairs was
due to him.

One of our prominent ladies accosted
us last Monday evening with, ''Mr. Ap-
pelt, can YOU not get the council to put
our streets in more presentab.e con-
dition, they are filthy" This lady re-
ferred to the quantities of loose paper
and other trash in front of the stores
which make an unsightly appearance.
We told her the town had started to
gather up the trash recently. but for
the past few days we have not seen any
thing of the scavenger cart. We re-
spectfully call the attention OF this
matter to council and would ask that
they instruct the street commissioner
to send the cart around the business
part of town every afternoon. Inc
trash gathered up in this town would
make good stable beds for the town
mule.
On Nov. 2nd petition was presented
to the County Board of Education ask
inc that School District No. y be de-
vided. This petition was largely sign.
ed BY the Alcolu and Harvln patrons OF
the district. The new district would
have had the Sumter line as the North
and West boundaries. Black River the
south boundary and line from w. P.
Emanuels place then west OF L. D..
Hodges place as the eastern boundary.
The petitioners were represented by
w. C. Davis, Esq, and Mr.iJames Mont
gomery one of the trustees of the dis
trict, as now stands. was spokesman for
the opposition. Considerable feeling
was shown throughout the meeting and
the board had considerable difficulty in
finding out exactly what the different
factions wanted. After due considera-
ton the board decided that as the tax
books had already been placed in the
hands of the Treasurer for the collec-
ton of taxes, it was for the best interest,
Of all parties concerned, to let the dis
trict remain for the present as it now
stands and not divide it.

Citizeus' Meeting.

The citizens of this town are some
what awakened tC the water works
proposition, and while everybody wants
this much needed institution for the
protection it will give, there is quite
difference of opinion as to the means to
be employed to procure it. Some think
it wise for the town to be bonded and
own the water works plant, others
think q better service can be obtained
by contract with private company.
Municipal ownership, or private own
ership are to be investigated and con-
sidereG. On last Thursday evening DR..
W. F. Wright, by invitation, remain
ed over to meet the citizens, and quite
a number assembled in the court house.
Captain W. C. Davis was invited to the
chair, and DR.. Wright addressed the
assembly on the subject OF water works,
explaining survey he had made OF the
town, and giving his estimates OF the
probable cost to install plant the size
suitable for Manning's needs, making
due allowance for the towns growth.
After he had concluded his remarks,
he invited questions which were freely
asked and the answers cheertu!ly given.
There were some present ready
to order the water works by first mail,
but there were others who were not
willing to 60 so fast. The probable cost
s25, 900 or more was yet to be consider
ed, and while no one questioned DR..
Wright's survey or estimates, as ousl-
ness proposition of such proportions:
more time for consideration was wanted
Captain D. J. Bradham was very en-
thusiastic in favor Of water works,
and made quite an appeal Tor water
works for the town, and $50, 200 court
house for the county He did not say
however, that he would build this court
house this winter, and when 1t comes
to the new court house, he will realize
there are others to consult besides a
few people in Manning, the people OF
the county will want a voice.
Remarks were made on the water
works question by Maj. A. Levi, Hon.
Joseph F. Kltame, J. A. Weinberg,
ESQ, E. C. Horton. D. NJ. Bradham,
and the writer. Hon. J. H. Lesesne,
as attorney for the council, made a
brief and clear statement as to the re-
ouirements for the town to be bonded.
After considerable discussion it was de-
cided to appoint committee to lnves-
tigate the operations OF the systems IN
those towns operated by municipal
ownership, and those by private owner
ship, and report the information they
gather to the mayor, who will present
same to citizens meeting. The com
mittee is W. S. Harvin, a. Levi and G.
r. Sprott.

Letter TO G. D. Smith.

Dear Sir: Three gallons saved is sl2.
to S15 earned.
Mr.. Hanford Platt of Bridgeport,
Conn, ordered Is gallons Devoe to paint
his house, and returned 3 gallons. His
painter said it would take l5; a lead
and-oil painter.
Eubbell & Wade Co. sold it. They
say everybody has the sameeSperience
there.
The reason is, of course; they are
used to poor paint.
What is poor paint? Anything not
Devoe; some worse than others.
Besides, paints wear about as they
cover. Double the Sl2. to SIS.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. ssEat plenty of
pork was the advice t the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionisthem
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stonaachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and hasa special
action on the diseased lungs.
