Relief for Aching Muscles.

People sometimes get a dull aching
at the lowest part of the back of the
head, which is increased on move
ment. This is caused by rheumatism
OF the muscles supporting the parts.
Great relief is afforded by filling a
small bag with hot salt, and using it
as a pillow. 1t should lie in the hol-
low OF the neck, and the neck below
the seat of pain should be protected
by folded flannel.

DRAFT HORSES

OVERFLOW OF COMMON STOCK
RETARDs SELLING IN YES
TERDAY's SALE
One Of the Largest Sales in History
of South ottumwa Horse Market
Held In Morris Williams Barn-A.
P. Carmichael Brings Prize Car.

One of the largest sales in the his
tory of the South Ottumwa horse mar
ket was held yesterday and today in
Morris Williams sales barn on Myrtle
street. In order to dispose of the large
number Of horses brought in, the sale
was continued until noon today. Well
known buyers from Chicago, st. Louis
and other cities were present.
1t is said the horse market all over
the United States is off several points
at this time. This general slump, to-
gether with the overly large number
of common horses in evidence at the
sale, held the selling prices down con.
siderably SO that no remarkable fig
ures were reached.
A. p. Carmichael of Webster had the
prize car consisting of fifteen head OF
heavy draft horses weighing from 1900
pounds on UP to 1850 pounds. From
his car the. highest three sales of the
day we're made. The top price for q
team was $497.50, paid for a magnifi
cent matched team of heavy weight
grays. The next price for team was
$455. A coal black team of hearse
horses brought this figure and will be
shipped to Buffalo, N. Y. Two hundred
and twenty-five dollars was the highest
mark reached by single horses. This
was paid for huge black, weighing
1850 pounds.
The prevalent demand throughout
the sale was for the heavier article OF
horse flesh, but the sales of this class
were retarded repeatedly by the large
number Of smaller and lower class
horses which had been brought in.

It Is understood that the matter OF
Thanksgiving rates was taken up re-
Gently by the Western Passenger assoc
citation. Opinion was strongly against
the Thanksgiving rates, and 1t has been
announced unofficially that no reduc-
tions would be made from the regular
fare. A number Of papers heIe all
ready commented upon this fact, and
parties expecting to make short trip
Thanksgiving week have been disap-
rates.
What caused the railroad officials to
change their minds SO suddenly upon
this matter is not known. A regular
Thanksgiving excursion rate has been
the custom for years, and perhaps It
was decided 1T would not be best after
all to discontinue it.
The officials of the Wabash and Mil
waukee roads stated this morning that
they have not as yet received off,
cial notifications Of the Thanksgiving
rates. However, these roads are menu
bers of the Western Passenger ASSOC
citation and in all probability rates sim
ilar to those made by the other roads
in the association will be made by
them.

Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. 24-James F. Della

killed by his wife, who Immediately

The cause of the shooting is not
known. Mrs. Cyrus w. Woods, in
whose house the tragedy occurred,
declared that Mr.. and Mrs. Delaney
had not quarreled to her knowledge,
and that she knew of nothing that
could have caused Mrs. Delaney to kill
her husband and herself.
The only evidence she saw that Mrs.
Delaney killed her husband and then
herself is by the location Of the
wounds and the fact that the revolver
was found in the hand of the woman.
The couple have been in the city
but few weeks, having come from
Now York, where Mr.. Delaney was
well known.
The occupants at the house at 400

Where He Was Receiving Treatment
For Mental Derangement.

Rock Island, Nov. 24.-Alec Boag,
while in the presence of his father at
their home in the Vemere hotel Thurs
day night, suddenly changed into de-
mented state of mind and attempted to
take his own life by the use of peck
ct knife, cutting his throat badly. The
man, who is about 20 years of age,
lives with his parents at Centerville,
from which place he went few weeks
ago to Chicago to consult a special
list about his condition. He was kick
ed by mule six years ago at his
home. Six weeks ago he showed
symptoms of insanity, his relatives
attributing the affection to the kick.
1t was decided to go to Chicago for
medical aid.
The young man and his father ar
rived in the city Thursday evening
from Chicago on Rock Island train
and stopped at the Vemere hotel. The
son appeared all right during the ev-
enfng, but at about midnight, before
he and his father had retired, became
demented. The father inquired about
a doctor and summoned DR.. e. M.
Sala. Before the doctor could reach

had the man taken to st. Anthony's

at present and will recover unless I'M
