Iowa Falls. May ia sensation has
been caused in Franklin county by the
reported removal of Miss Nellie Wood
ley, the youthful and pretty postmist-
ress at Hausell. From the report of the
shortage that is stated was the cause
for the lady's removal 1t appears that
she failed to make proper report TO the
postal department of the receipts of the
office. 1t is claimed that this failure to
Letters to her bondsmen appear never
to have reached them. and they were
in total ignorance OF any trouble with
the postmistress' accounts. She is re-
ported as having failed to answer any
communications addressed to her in re-
lation to her accounts with the govern
ment. The amount of the shortage is
reported as $700. Her bondsmen have
made good the shortage and 1t is not
known whether there will be further
action taken i'll the matter or not. The
young lady refuses to make any state
ment regarding her difficulty and when
know where the money had gone and
was wholly unable to give any account
of it. Miss Rose Bowson has been ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy caused by
this removal from office.

Intensely with rheumatism for the past
three days, Mrs. John II. Wilson. aged

kAnG physician the case was a peculiar
one. The family is Of the opinion that

the physicians say It was caused by
rheumatism. On Thursday Mrs. Will

and contracted severe cold. On her
return she complained OF being chilly,
although she was not kept from per-
forming her usual household duties.

Trait. OF Turkish Nomnd..

The Yuruks assert that human souls
return into the bodies OF animals and
that the spirits Of the latter take also
human form and appear at deter
mined epochs. This Is certainly the
reason why they are so kind to ant
mails. A Yuruk loves his horse as
much as his family. The horses have
their place under the tent. and it is
not uncommon to see them warmly
wrapped in a magnificent robe when
the Yuruk and his children are COW
cred with rags.
Some other customs attest also pas
gan origin. In the orient everybody
knows that the Yuruks worship GER
tain trees and rocks. These facts yield
sufficient evidence that monotheism Is
by no means the essential dogma Of
their religion.

All that medicine can do for these

results are inevitable BY destroying
the cause of the trouble, it invariably
ends the disease, and forever.
