The boiler of the heating plant of the
Presbyterian church blew up a few
days since as result of too little
water in the boiler. Being one of the
new pattern boilers the explosion did
not cause damage other than to itself.
The Presbyterians are talking Of aban-
doning steam heat, and putting in hot

The latest railroad talk is of build
ing an interurban line from this place
to Gladbrook to connect at hat point
with the C. G. w. railroad and the G.
& N. w. railroad. This line would tap
fine field and would MAKE a good
feeder for both of the other roads and
give the people of our town tetter pas
senger service.
The Rock Island railroad has just
completed its new freight pot at this
place and will begin as soon as the
weather moderates on the lemodeling
of the old depot into passenger de-
pot alone. A half loaf is better than
no loaf at all, so the people feel CRATE

concession.

Trttle did not grieve for his wife.
He believed that it was Gods will
that she should go. She might have
lived on to enjoy the fruits of his
years of frugality and hard work had
she received proper attention during
the early stages of her sickness. But
Trittle, probably thru worry over
her condition, lost his reason, and or
dered the nurse from the side of his
sick wife. locked the door in the face
of the physician who had been paying
daily visits to her, and was confident
that she would soon be able to be her
self again, and told the neighbors to
attend to their own business; that he
was competent to administer to his
wife. 1t is a tragic ending of the lives
of two of the pioneer substantial ciu-
zens of the county.

Iowa Falls, Feb. 11.-An occasion
of unusual interest in Central Iowa
and an event that marks an epoch in
the history of the development OF
Tracr, took place last evening, when
one of the prettiest play houses to be
found in any of the smaller cities or
towns of Iowa was formally opened
to the public. Credit for this splen-
did Improvement that adds so much
to the municipal advancement of Ira
er, is due to Editor E. f. Taylor, OF
the Traer Star-Clipper, one of the
best known newspaper men of the
state, and to r. II. Moore, a well
known banker of Traer who has been
closely identified with the history OF
Traer and Benton county
The new house, which is one of the
handsomest and best equipped of the
smaller playhouses of the state, was
built by Messrs. Taylor and Moore at
a cost of 100000. 1t is on the ground
floor and is constructed of brick with
stone trimmings. 1t is 50x10O feet In
size and is handsomely furnished. 1t
is heated by hot air and has twelve
exits on the lower floor. The entire
building is devoted to opera house
purposes and has on the first floor,
the parquet, dress circle and foyer, to-
gether with box office, retiring rooms,
etc. On the second floor are the bal
cony and gallery, the house having
seating capacity of 800. 1t is seated

above are the facts and figures at

Owing to the fact that rates have been
cut from the Missouri river to the sea-
board, there is very likely to be some
slashing of Iowa rates before you re-
ceive this letter, but it will be only a
'momentary caprice on the part OF the
railroads, and If our rates are cut they
will soon be back to the old figure.
What we want Is an entire res dust

of our board of railroad commissioners,

Centerville Judge Fee resigned from

his son and is considered one of the
most able lawyers of the state. Judge
Vermillion was appointed to fill out his
term. Judge Fee is an able man and
a very able speaker. 1t is known too
that Hon. B. w. Garrett of Leon has
been approached to allow the use of his

Towner, however, thought by not OPP

occupied by Judge Smith Mcpherson.
He was advised that the appointment
was already agreed upon, but was con-

therefore aligned himself with the cor

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know Hiw Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same clean
sing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of it the better: 1t is not Il
drug at all, but simply absorbs the gas
es and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural ana
eminently safe cathartlc.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1T
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
antlCept1cS IN tablet IOTI1l, VI Idliiei
in the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of 1T is, that 10
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking Of
the benefits Of charcoal. says: II adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in the
stomach and bowels, and to clear the
complexion and purify the breath,
mouth and throat; l also believe the
liver is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they cost but twenty five
cents 81 box at drug stores, and altho
in some sense patent preparation, yet
/ believe l get more and better char
coal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in any Of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"

IF the amount of money spent for

would it not end in the development of
a better class of citizenship among our

convinced that it is not for the best
interests of society in general that
employers are permitted to reap pro-
fits sufficient to equip their plants on
a scale of magnificence that some are
doing, but that more attention should
be given to keeping the home environ
ments on an equal footing with the
factory, for it is to the home that we
must look for our future citizenship.

have, il we lack homes of the right
