saved, both by tie votes, and Mr.. Har-
per voted against these appropriations.
If he had been absent or had voted

At the last session of the legisla-
ture the city of Ottumwa wanted a
sewer bill passed so that it could fin.
ish the Blale's branch and Finley
avenue sewers and build sewer IN
the West End. A committee headed
by Mayor SHUTS visited Des Moines
and put the matter in the hands of
Senator Harper and Representative
Epperson. Many members Of the SEN
ate were opposed to this measure Mr..
Epperson by careful management and
hard work secured the passage of the
bill through the house. Then another
committee came from Ottumwa to i'm
press upon the members of the senate
the Importance of this measure to the
people Of Ottumwa. They went home
discouraged fearing that the hill could
not pass. Mayor SHUTS told the sena-
tor that if he failed to secure the pas
sage of this bill he would better not
come home. Senator Harper went
to work and by persistent effort, us.
ing all legitimate legislative tactics.
he got the bill through the senate and
it became law. This law makes it
possible to finish within the next year
the Finley avenue and Blake's Branch
sewers. Mayor Suits said a few days
ago that this was the most important
Legislation ever enacted for the bene-
fit of Ottumwa.
Senator Harper should be reelected
as he has experience, he knows the
people of the state and he has great
influence. He will be leading mem
bel. of the senate and will be In a posi-
ton to do things where an inexper-
fenced man could accomplish nothing.
Senator Harper has always been a
friend of organized labor. His son,
Russell, has long been secretary of

A Remarkable Career.

OF the leading religious bodies in
South Ottumwa.
A Remarkable Career.
Very few ministers have had a ca
reer like unto that OF Rev. John Has
tie. Emigrating to this country from
Scotland, landing In a new country
with strange surroundings, first work
ing as coal miner down in the depths
of the ground, next employed truck
ing freight in Wholesale grocery
house in this city, and then entering
into the ministry are parts of the his
tory of the man, who stands out today
as one Of the leading pastors of this
city.
Rev. Haste is Of that type of man
that is self made. With tireless work
he fitted himself for the ministry. AS
to the results of his earnest toll, it
can be seen today in the community
the past ten years.
He. has not accepted a call that
could be termed better position He
feels that his work is finished in this
city, and he will go to new fields
where the labor Is arduous
Last evening, he delivered a very
earnest discourse, closing by many
times thanking the people for the
courtesies they have shown him while
located In South Ottumwa
He said in part as follows:
"Why should l commend you to
God? Because He loves you, He cares
for you and he will guide you. The
passage Of scripture which says, And
now commend you to Cod and to
the word Of his grace, which is able to
build you up and to give you an inner
itance among them which are sancti-
fed forms part of very interest
ing and pathetic address delivered by
Paul.
"He was about to leave the church
at Ephesus and looking into the flu
ture and realizing the weakness of
human nature, In order that they
might stand firm, he commended them
| to God.
81 commend you to God for this rea-
son. While have to leave, God will
never forsake you. l commend you
first to God and then to His word. His
word is not like the word of man. His
word will sustain you through the
greatest privations Of this life. 1t is
the balsam for the wounded heart.
commend you to His word. for it will
guide you and keep you.
| What Joy there is in the inherit
ance of God. 1t is the joy of the saints
reward. What joyful thought for
the heart of every Christian to have
this thought of an inheritance.
I'm closing and leaving you after
my work of ten years among you, /
| commend Won To Cod and nrav that we
may all live better lives.

BOWEN THINKS
HE WAS DRUCCED.
VICTIM OF CONFIDENCE MEN
STATES THAT NARCOTIC
DULLED HIS WILL POWER
Says That Stranger Gave Him cisat
and That It Had Mysterious Effect
Upon Him-confirms Correctness Of
courier's Account Of SwindIe.

Was A. M. Bowen drugged? Was
he under the influence of some insid-
ious narcotic which totally n,illif1ed his
will power and self control last Thurs
day when he became the victim of two
interruptions swindlers? Mr.. Bowen,
thinks he was. In letter to the Cour-
Ter he states that before starting from
Eldon on the day upon which the swim
dlers secured from him 1888, one OF
them offered him cigar.
Unsuspectingly he took the cigar and
smoked it. When he had partially fin
ished it he became i'll and dazed. It
was while he was in this condition that
the swindle was perpetrated upon him.
In his letter to the Courier Mr. Bowen.
confirms the correctness of the story Of
the swindie as it appeared In Satur-
days issue.
Mr.. Browns Letter.
The letter follows:
Eldon, Iowa,

Gentlemen
1t is my desire to speak word in
way of correction In reference to the
article in last Saturdays issue EMIT

While the article correctly sets forth
the incidents in connection with the af-i
fair. I wish to state that one of the
swindlers asked me to have cigar
when we were starting >on short drive
from Eldon with the object Of looking
over some land. I without suspicion,
took the cigar mad smoked a portion
Of it, when I became very much daz-
ed and very unnatural feeling came,
over me. s
The result was that lost my will
power and self control. which enabled
the thieves to accomplish their pur-
pose. I am sure the cigar was druggeds
and they used this means to bring me
under their control.
When the leader of the two men was
at my house he seemed very much in.

Standard Oil Men Must Testify

In decision rendered by the Supreme
Court of Missouri it was held that Off
GERS of foreign corporations doing bust
ness in this State by implication had
agreed to testify whenever wanted. and
that they cannot withhold books and pa
pers forming a part of their business rec
ord. Inasmuch as Judge Gildersleeve of
New York indicated that he would abide
by the decision of the Missouri court
as to the refusal of H. H. Rogers and
other Standard Oil witnesses to answer
questions put by the Missouri Attorney
General, the court decision means that
Rogers and his allies will have to an
swer questions put to them or go to Jail
for contempt of court. The Missouri
decision goes even further by declaring
that officers of foreign corporation must
produce any witnesses wanted by the
court in any prosecution that may arise.
This would include witnesses who have

Or. Williams Pink Pills Actually
Make New Blood and Good
Health Follows,

The evil effects that follow many dis
eases - particularly the grip and the
wasting fevers, such as typhoid and
malaria, are caused by the bad condition
in which these diseases leave the blood.
As result, the flesh continues to fall
away, the sufferer grows nervous and
irritable, and even slight exertion causes
shortness of breath. These are danger
Gus symptoms and indicate that the
system is in state that invites pneu
monia, bronchitis or even consumption.
What is needed is new supply Of rich,
red blood to carry health and strength
to every part of the body.

of the grip" says Mrs. Amelia Hall, of

could not sleep. l could only stay i'll
bed few minutes at a time, either night
or day. The least little thing would
startle me. l had difficulty i'll breath
ing and had frequent fainting spells.
my general health was completely
wrecked and 1 had neuralgia and rheu-
matte pains, dyspepsia, constipation,

tended me for the grip and again for
the condition that it left me in, but I
got no strength from the tonics he pre-
scribed. In fact, nothing helped me

CLIPPING THE HORSE.
RECOMMENDED BY LEADING
VETERINARIANS.
Clipping Improves the Health of
the Horse, Makes Him Feel Bet
His Value.

"A horse is valuable asset and
should receive the best care possible.
| He should be we'll fed, comfortably
stabbed, carefully groomed and clipped
| in the early spring. If he receives
these attentions he will work well and
| improve in value. A horse lives under
| artificial conditions. In his wild state
he required none of these attentions,
| for he was able to look out for himself
| The domeSticated animal, being worked
under conditions that are in themselves
artificial. must be kept in condition for
such work
The clipping of a horse in the early
spring is now conceded py all the lead
| ing veterinarians to be as essential to
a horses well being as shoeing him or
| giving him a comfortable bed to lie on.
| Farmers in England and france have
| been clipping their horses for many
| years, and American farmers are not
slow to realize its advantages. A
| clipped horse dries out rapidly after a
| hard days work, and will rest comfort
| ably and be refreshed for the work the
! following day. An unclipped horse is
| liable to catch the heaves, pneumonia
| and all sorts of colds, rheumatism, etc.
| More especially is this so in the early
| spring, when his hair Is long and he
| is soft" If worked hard Fe will per
| spire freely and the moisture will be
| held by his long hair, and the food that
| should go to nourish him will be used
| to replenish the heat that is being con-
stantly taken from his body by the
mass of cold wet hair. If clipped, the
| perspiration will evaporate almost as
soon as secreted, and when put in the
stable he rests comfortably and his
food does him good.
Some years ago a Buffalo street car
company tested the value Of clipping
in the following manner: They owned
500 horses, and $50 Of these were
clipped early in the spring and 200
were not clipped. A careful record was
kept of results, and it was found that
of the $50 unclipped horses 153 were
afflicted with coughs and pneumonia,
while of the go clipped not one case
of sickness was reported.
A man would not expect to enjoy
very good health if he did hard manual
work clothed with heavy underwear
heavy suit and fur overcoat, and
after perspiring freely, as he naturally
would, go to sleep withC removing
same. 1t is just as ridiculous to expect
a horse to be in perfect health if
worked under the same conditions.
If you would get the best returns
from your investment In your horse,
treat him right, and be sure and clip
him in the early spring.
A frst-class housekeeping machine
can be bought at nearly any hardware
store for less than $700."-Horse Re
