of Colonel Hacker, which the president
is taking no steps to fill. He is wait
ing to ascertain if the elimination of the
entire commission cannot be accom-
plished.
Members of the commission do not
care to discuss the proposed transfer of
all direct authority to the president.
Each member seems to feel that the sug-
gestion is a deserved rebuke to the
other members. Each is trying to clear
his own skirts Of the charge that moth
ing has been done, and that disorganiza-
tion exists. Each has told the president
of plans offered for fastening work on
the canal, which were rejected by the
others.
There is no disposition to amend the
Spooner act so that the Nicaragua
route could not be substituted for the
Panama route if future developments
prove the latter to be ~ impracticable
Mr.. Mann's bill makes no suggestion
Of that character. No feature Of the
Spooner act is repealed but that relat.
ing to the isthmian canal commission.

Washington, Jan. s. President
Roosevelt's plan to secure legislation
entirely abolishing the isthniam canal
commission is receiving the cordial ap-
proval of public men who have recently
visited Panama and are conversant
with conditions there.
Determined efforts will be made to
amend the Spooner act so the president
will have control Of all matters con-
nected with constructing the water
way. %>5.x
It was not only evident to Secretary
Taft and members Of his party who
made special journey to investigate
affairs on the isthmus, that no real prog
ress was being made in building the
canal, and that the commission was re-
tarding instead of fastening the project,
but such senators and representative as
went over the same ground arrived at a
similar conclusion. %zs&
Mann Bill a Starter.
Representative Mann of Illinois, a.
member of the house interstate and
foreign commerce committee, who ac-
companied the congressional party to
Panama, yesterday introduced a. bill
abolishing the isthmian canal, commits
sion. His measure was prepared after
'I!oduShI cohIel eHceS Will representa-
tive Hepburn, chairman of the commit
tee. who also went to Panama
The president has definitely decided
that Chief Engineer Wallace should be
given independent authority and no
longer serve subject to the instructions
of the commissioner.
1t is regarded as certain that, if the
president should order all members of
the commission to reside on the isthmus
of Panama, and perform certain stipu-
lated duties, which will be done if all
legislation fails, there will be number
of designations. There is probably no
member Of the commission who would or
could live in Panama all the year.
There is already one vacancy on the
commission, caused by the resignation

OBITUARY..

Nina Iona Beman died at the home
of her parents in Hamlin township,
Friday afternoon, with that dread
disease, consumption.
Nina Iona Beman was born in Deco
rah, Iowa, September 4, 1885, and lived
there and at Cresco. Iowa, until the
fall of 1908, when she went to Eaton
Rapids, Mich, to attend school. While
she was there her parents moved to
this community and she joined them
about year ago, since which time
she has been confined to her home
more or less with that dread disease
which finally called her to her last
resting place.
She leaves father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. d. L. Beman, and,one BROTH
er and sisters to mourn her loss.
The people Of this community will
rejoice with her in her infinite gain,
while they extend sympathy to the
loved ones who remain to. mourn her.
The funeral services were held at
the Presby terrain church Sunday after
noon, conducted by Rev. j. w. Chris
Hanson, and the remains were laid at
rest in the Castlewood cemetery

There were three steel bridges built
during the year costing 1894.
Howard County has suffered several
times in the past the loss of money in
the treasurer S Office. The first was
on the Eight of the 18th of March,
1868, when someone broke open the
safe and carried away $4,000. In the
year of 1870 the county was bonded
for 800, 900, the total debt of the coun-
ty being s26,459.
December l, 1876, the court house
at Cresco was destroyed by fire. In
July. 1877, Frank Kyle, treasurer Of
Howard County, flew, and with him
about s1S,500 of the County's money.
Inside of the next eight years the
entire debt of the county was paid, so
that Howard County has been out OF
debt for over twenty years.
l have selected such figures and
facts as thought would be of most
interest and would further suggest
and recommend that every taxpayer
should study the auditors report
made each year as required by chapter
%. Acts of the Twenty-ninth General
Assembly, which contains an itemized
statement of all moneys received and
paid out by the treasurer. Riceville

A CASE OF lit.

Many More Like 1t In Cresco.
The following case is but one of many
similar occurring daily in Cresco. 1t
is an easy matter to verify its cor
rectness. Surely you cannot ask for
better proof than such conclusive
evidence.
Mrs, Stephen PEGGY, wife of Stephen
PEGGY, miller, says: "For years / had
attacks of kidney complaint, some of
them causing pain so severe that I
could neither stoop or lift anything.
I have been SO bad that I could not
actually sit still on account Of the
aching across the small of the back.
Even after supposed nights rest I
arose in the morning SO lame and sore
across the loins that it required quite
an effort to dress myself. Headaches
and dizziness followed and blurring OF
the vision SO at times I could hardly
see. Advertisements about Doan IS
Kidney Pills SO impressed me that
procured a box at the j. 81. Luers Co.'s
store. The treatment gave me almost
immediate relief. A continuation for
some time brought such beneficial re-
suits that l am forced to say that
Doan's Kidney Pills gave me more
genuine relief than any other medi.
cine I ever used"
