The Grip.

Before we can sympathiss with 9th
ers. we must have suffered ourselves,'
No one can realize the suffering attend
ant upon an attack Of the grip, unless he
has had the actual experience. There
is probably no disease that causes so
much physical and mental agony, or
which so successfully dehes medical aid.
All danger from the grip, however, may
be avoided by the prompt use OF
chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Among
the tens Of thousands who have used
this remedy, not one case has ever been
reported that has resulted In pneumonia
or that has not recovered. For sale by

AT the Fhst N""SseS"'"'
last evening. the pastor, Luther ID. Ma
hone. spoke on the Translation OF
Elijah" He said in part;
~Elijahs appearance in the history OF
Israel was sudden. He came as one
sent from God to do special aud a
heroic work. No man ever gave strong
or evidence Of the divineness of his mis-
sion. His appearance was at an oppcr'
tune time. Israel needed man OF
strong convictions and one that dared
to assert them. Unrighteousness pre-
vailed on every side. Idolatry was the
pnetice. Even the king had built a
temple to Baal. The chosen people
seemed 10 be doomed. A crisis had come
in the history OF the nation. 1t was
time for radical action.
@Such a time has appeared in the lh'
az eyery nation. There have been great
crisis in the history OF all But there
have been men always equal to the oe'
casion to lead the nation out OF the
bondage into better life. The same
conditions prevail today in many places
\ There must be heroic acts and herol'
lives 10 save the nation. When cor
| ruption. and sin and unrighteousnes-
come in il must be put out and II the
lives OF some are exposed le. i be done
Such men can blame no one but them
selves when their sins oveTtake them
As a man OF God, Elijah filled hs
mission well and while swept into the
life and the history Of his nation, his
ministry was characterized, not by
eeh.making but rather by marvellous
deeds. When his work was done and
the end was at hand in harmony with
hi. life. he closed il calmly and peace
ably.

| Oskaloosa, May 21.--Dr. ID. A. Hoff-
man has sold his splendid collection OF
minerals and curios to the State Nor
NAL School, thru President II. II. Seer
ley, Of that institution and the big coll
lection. which represents years of unre-
hitting search upon the part of the
pioneer physician, will be taken to the
State Normal School. there to be
| known as the Hoffman collection"
President Seerley is here to superin-
| tend the packing. He is accompanied
| and by G. r. Schweiher. student
| stenographer from the school, to whom
| DR.. Hoffman dictates such history as
| he may remember associating each ar
| ticle.
| The sale of the collection is the out
growth of years Of friendship between
the two men. Thirty-th three years ago
when Professor Seerley came to Os-
kaloosa Dr. Hoffman. almost upon his
| arrival, asked him to come in and see
his collection. Inspired by il, Profess
sor SECRECY attempted a collection for
the high school in Oskaloosa. In his
search for mineral specimens, in ask
ing miners in nearby towns to save
him specimens, he met with one reply:
Il am saving those things for DIR. D. A.
Hoffman"
President Seerley is very glad to
have been able TO secure the collection.
1t was one of the finest collections In
the state. II not the finest, and in its
relation to Iowa, apart from It's other
interests it was OF exceptional value.
DR.. Hoffman. as an Iowa man, has Sc
cured great portion Of his specimens
from this stationary of them, indeed,
from this very county-and Cedar Fails

ut Is more than an exceptional coll
lection said President Seerley yes
terday 1.-THE collection Of Iowa coal
measures Is the finest l have ever
seen. Other museums may have bet
ter specimens of coal measures but
none have so good a collection as this
of the measures of Iowa. The col
lection Of arrowheads and Of hammers
and hatchets of the stone age Is also
splendid one. / have seen but two
better collections outside the Smith
sonian at Washington. These two
are: One at Davenport in the Acad-
envy of Science, and one at Madison,
Wisconsin,
Especially is Professor 'Seerley very
glad to have secured the collections
which he mentioned The other de-
partments Of the collection, of course,
are of deep interest and in many cases
of great value, but the value is often
because of relation to local history or
to local associations of other sorts.
There are geological and other speci-
ments from almost every state in the
union, which have been gathered to-
gether by DR.. Hoffman. Those are not
as rule, however, SO great in value
as the local collections.
