hey Are Overrunning Portions Of
Hamilton County.
Webster City, Sept. 9.-Portions of
Hamilton county are being overrun
with grasshoppers. The pests are de-
stroying all the late green feed and
doing a great deal of damage.
r. V. Cutler, who resides west of the
city, reports that the grasshoppers
have totally destroyed field of clover
on his farm containing twenty acres.
The field is bare of everything but the
clover stems the leaves having all
been eaten by the pest. Thus far,
however, the grasshopers have touched
nothing but the late fields of clover.
The patches destroyed are mostly
those planted in the spring, when the
the clover was planted with the oats.
The work of the grasshoppers was not
noticeable until after the harvest had
been finished, when they seem to have
settled over the clover fields and eaten
them bare.

some difficulty in securing supplies
when they are required. One large
shipping company in the Chicago
market reports this week that it has
rot received a car of all-rail coal
within the past fortnight, and that it Is
combining its shipments almost wholly
to dock coal. The movement from
docks is hampered more or less by
the shortage Of cars in the western
trade At one large dock, where the
loading capacity is easily fifty cars a
cay, the quota Of box cars has not ex-
ceeded fifteen for any one day during
the past week. This indicates that
the supply of empty cars is not very
heavy. but shows that when the fall
activity commences many dealers will
be obliged to go unsupplied with coal.
Possibly this is one of the worst in
stances of the shortage of cars, but
other dock interests are suffering to a
greater or less extent.
Anthracite Shows Improvement.
The retail demand in the west is not
yet very active, although the chilly
weather the early part of the week,
with a touch Of fall In it, resulted in
some orders being placed. AS it is
generally conceded that consumers in
the west have bought less coal this
summer than for some time past, when
demand becomes a realit-- dealers an
t;cipate that their facilities for deliv
ering coal will be taxed to the ut

What Will Cure
A Bad Catarrh
A Noted Doctor-Prcacher OF Atlanta
Seems Able to Permanently Cure
This Disease by an Entirely
New Home Method That
Is Attracting At
tentiOn.
SENDS 1T FREE TO ANYONE
WITHOUT EXPECTING PAYMENT

Those who have all along doubted
whether there really was a permanent
cure for catarrh will be glad to learn
that an eminent Southern doctor-divine,
j. w. Blosser by name, has discovered o
home method whereby catarrh can be
cured to the very last spec without re-
gard to climate or conditions, and so
that there shall be no misgiving about
Ii he viii send IL free to any man or
woman without expecting payment. for
while others are spending fortunes In
advertising DIR. Blosser uses his money
to build up his discovery, and therefore
he can afford to send q trial package
free end let the results speak for them
self
The doctors discovery is radically
different from the schemes that the
country has recently been flooded with,
and the results he has achieved seem
10 mark a new era in the scientific cure
OF chronic catarrh. foul breath, hawk
ing and splitting. stopped-up feeling in
the nose and throat coughing spells,
difficulty OF breathing, catarrhal deaf
ness, scratching In the throat, asthma,
bronchitis and the many other symp-
toms OF a bad case of catarrh. The first
days use will clear the nasal passages
and the lungs, and then the catarrh
germs are dispelled and you are forever
freed from this annoying disease.
The doctor is willing to rest his case
on the free package he sends you, and
the fact that his company now occupies
four large floors would seem to prove
that his discovery is genuine; SO send
your name and address without delay
to the DIR. BloSser Co, 800 Walton ST.,
Atlanta, Ga, and you will receive the
free package, illustrated book, ETC. The
least you can do is to find out what the
doctor has got. as you can't be anything
out, one way or another, and you sure
