The first intimation the public had
that the Rock Island company would
erect a system of mammoth shops was
about year ago. when an agent of the
railway company quietly obtained OPP
lions on 900 acres of land lying in a
level valley five miles east OF this city.
The land which was bought was used
principally for raising fruit and garden
truck to supply the demand of Moline
and Rock Island. The track was COM
posed largely OF sand ridges and was
worth in the neighborhood of $50 an
acre. After going thru with several
condemnation proceedings the COM

After the horses and trees We're re-

on the scene and soon several hundred
men and scores of horses We're busily
engaged in leveling the large tract.
This work occupied a greater part OF
the summer, but as soon as the tract

JEWELL COLLEGE OPENS
Temporary Quarters Fitted Up for the
Recitation Rooms.

Special 10 Times Republican.
Jewell. Jan. 4.-The Jewell Lutheran
College will open on next Tuesday for
the first time since the fire which de-
stroyed the main building with heavy
loss. The basement of the dormitory.
which is the only building remaining,
has been fitted up into recitation
rooms and the college will resume
work as though nothing had happened
The jewell people scout the idea of
the school moving to Eagle Grove or
to any other place. They say that
the residents of Jewell would not
allow the institution to go to any other
town in the state and would stand
ready to lend financial aid to the col
lege. No move toward rebuilding the
main building has been made by the
conf renee. They Will hold a meet
ing early this year for that purpose
and some move will probably be taken
toward erecting another building to
accommodate the school.
In the meantime, the sessions of the
college will resume and the old ruins
be cleared away.

On account of some person being stricken with
heart disease. Heart trouble, at eastamong the
Americans, is on the increase. No doubt this is
due in part to the worry, excitement and strenu-
osity of modern American business life, and yet
how many, many times it is the result of weak
stomachs, Of poor digestion.
While real organic heart trouble is lncurable,
II is comforting to know that not more than one
case in every hundred is organic. The re-
mainder are functional, being due to sympa-
thetic disturbance. produced through thenervous
system, caused by great muscular prostration,
improper nutrition, in short, dyspepsia.
This functional disturbance of the hearts
action is manifested by palpitation irregularity
Of beats, intermission, rolling or tumbling move
ment and feeling as if the heart were in the
throat. These symptoms often give rise to great
apprehension, anxiety, fear and depression of
mind. But since the cause Of the trouble is
indigestion, it readily yields to Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, the great panacea for allstomach
disorders and sympathetic ailments. The close
relation between heart trouble and poor diges
ton is due to the fact that the heart, the great
