tempt at victimizing grocer took
place in Fort Dodge few days since.
A man called on Joe Clouse, who oper-
ates a small grocery in the eastern
part of the city, and said that he rep
resented the Sioux Valley Stock Food
Company of Algona. He had a con-
tract with him, which on a casual ex-
animation appeared to be nothing more
than a small order for this class Of
goods. AS Mr.. Clouse was busy at the
time the man left the contract and
went out, saying that he would return
later in the day.
Later in the day another man enter
ed the store and asked for some stock
food, saying that he wanted this par
ticular kind. The man had on rough
overcoat, but had a good suit UNDER
meath. He stated that he was from
Duncombe. but as Mr. 'Clouse was sus-
picious that he was not a farmer, he
asked hin. concerning we'll known far
mers in that vicinity The man was
ignorant of the names Of any and Mr..
Clouse Immediately decided that he
was confederate of the other man. AS
soon as the man left the store he made
thorough examination Of the con-
tract left by the agen: and found that
to sign it would be to sign for about
5000 worth of stock food. The agent
evidently was afraid that Mr.. Clouse
had become suspicious and so did not
come back, but telephoned. He did
not sell this man any stock food.

The holdup was one of the boldest

was alone at the telegraph key, when
suddenly a bullet whistlel past his
head, and he looked up into the muzzle
of big pistol. Under it's cover he
was forced to open the door. While
one covered him with the gun, the
other bound and gagged him. About
$26 was taken from the cash drawer,
but no attempt was made to secure
several hundreds dollars which was
locked in the safe. The unhappy tick

at $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning by
a 'busman who came to meet the early

NlOMAN'S. WEAKNESS
/. /. National Affliotion-wheeIer.

Diseases Of the nervous system are
said to be the most common of all
human Ills Nervousness, sleepless-
ness, weakness, and exhausted nerve
vitality are common to all. The
young, middle aged and old are alike
affected and afflicted.
Woman is probably more suscepti-
BILE to nervous ills than man, because
OF her more delicate organism. 1t is
also true that she responds more
promptly to treatment, and it is also
4 regrettable fact that she is more apt
to neglect her ills, no doubt because
she Is accustomed to patient endur-
arce of physical suffering. This neg
lect leads to complications during the
/ turning point in her life that tefmin-
ates In the most pitiable physical
suffering and mental anguish. 1t is
estimated that this is the fate of seven
out of every ten American women
passing through that critical period of
aife.
Intelligent treatment at the proper
time is changing the lives of thou
sands of women every year from
gloom to happiness. wheeler's Nerve
vitahzer has probably contributed
more to the elimination of suffering
0iilong women than any preparation

WELCOME WORDS TO WOMEN.

From the view point of the average
man housework is very easy. The wife
Is right at home. She is her own mis-
tress. She can sit down and rest any
time. She can even go to bed for a nap
if she feels like it. She can order her
household affairs just to suit her own
convenience. If she doesn't feel equal
to doing work to-day, she can do it
tomorrow. That's the beautiful theory
of the average man.
Just suppose the Egyptian task-mas-
ters, when they made the required
daily tale of bricks tax the uttermost
of human strength, had said to the
toiling slaves, uDon't hurry, take q
rest every now and then only don't
forget that your tale of bricks must
be all right at night or else there'l be
trouble.r
There's the fact. There are the
days duties to be got through, and the
women who can rest may not. The
woman. who, when she married, said,
wNow, I'll be my own MISTRESS" finds
herself q slave to household cares and
duties.
And oh! how much that woman
needs rest sometimes. She brushes and
scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples
throbbing, her back aching, her nerves
quivering under the stress of pain.
What she would give if she could just
creep upstairs and throw herself on the
bed in darkened room and rest.
Rest would temporarily relieve the
strain, doubtless, but 1t would be the
same story over again tomorrow. The
real need of weak, nervous women is
strength, and that need ID fully met
and satisfied by DR.. Pierce'e Favorite
Prescription. It makes weak women
strong and sick women well. 1t re-
moves the causes of women's weak
ness, tranquilizes and invigorates the
nerves, encourages the appetite and
induces restful sleep. uFavorite Pre-
scription" is a positive cure for the
most complicated and obstinate cases
of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, pain
full menstruation, unnatural suppress
sions and irregularities, prolapsus or
falling Of the womb, weak back, female
weakness" anteversion, retroversion,
bearing-down sensations, chronic con-
gestion, inflammation and liberation
of the womb, inflammation, pain and
tenderness of the ovaries, accompanied
with winternal heat"
II am pleased to add my testimony
in behalf of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription," writes Miss Earline Agard,
Chaplin, Patriotic Daughters of Amer
lea, of 4l3K Michigan Avenue, Lansing,
Mich. II cannot find language to ex-
press my gratitude and joy over the
fact that am well once more. Wear
ing my corsets too tight seemed to have
brought on an extra abdominal pres
sure, weakening the igaments and
pushing the internal organs down.

cines took seemed to help me.

Prescription and determined, to try
it, as last resort. Before the first

| Waterloo. Oct 24-It is reported
that James Moore, one of the Renbeck
postoffice robbers who pleaded guilty
to his crime in the federal court at
Cedar Rapids, and was sentenced to 4
long term in the penitentiary at Ana
mosa. recently confided to fellow
prisoner that the third robber who
has not yet been apprehended, is living
in the neighborhood of Reinbeck and
that when search was being made for
Moore and Roach, the two robbers who
were captured, the pursuers passed the
home of the, third man.
Moore, having pleaded guilty, was
not asked to testify in his own behalf
at a trial, and therefore was not
obliged to give up any details of the
robbery, or tlivulge the identity of the
third participant.
Shortly after Moore was placed In
the penitentiary, he accidentally
dropped heavy stone on his foot.
crushing the bones in the foot, and
ankle, which necessitated his removal
to the hospital, where he has been al
most constantly since. Owing to the
nature Of the injuries, they healed
slowly and 1t was while being con-
veyed about the grounds Of the states
prison in wheel chair that he is said
to have confessed to the identity Of
the third robber. 1t will be remem-
bered that Moore has an extensive rec
ord in crime having formerly been a
member of desperate gang Of rob-
bers in Kansas and some of the other
western states. Roach, who was cap
tured the forenoon of the day the rob-
berry was committed, is an aged man
and is given light work about the PEN
itentiary The prisoner to whom Moore
imported the information about the
identity OF the third robber, has been
released. his term having expired, and
he cannot be found.

Charles Burns, the Cedar Falls
murderer, who killed Bartlett Stone,
and who was found guilty Of murder in

now superintendent of the tailoring
department of the states prison. Be-
cause Of his diminutive size, it was
planned at first to have him learn
either the tailoring trade or the bar
Der trade, but he preferred tailoring.
He made rapid progress in mastering
the sartorial art and became SO skilled
that he now has charge of the entire
