Illinois Central Proxy Committee Still
Hard at Work

Chicago, Oct. ia vote on directors
may be reached late today in the meeting
of the Illinois Central stockholders. The
proxy committee last night had worked
through to this morning. The fact that
the transfer books of the company were
ordered closed until next Tuesday caused
many small stockholders to leave the city
with the idea that no vote would be
cuted proxies, but many others did not,
and feverish missionary work is in pro-

THE FIFTEENTH OF MAY.

Thousands Of men who had plenty
else to DO, dropped everything this
morning to 90 fishing. Yesterday the
little streams were raided for bait and
countless unfortunate minnows swan
gaspingly round and round innumer-
able bait pals last night that they
might be on hand for the early start
this morning. And all day long on
the lakes. the rivers ana ponds a large
part and wide variety Of Iowa's popu-
lati0l have drowned minnows and
longed for strike. From the $40 out
fit to the cane pole and chalkline, Iowa
fishing tackle worked Overtime today.
4 Not all who dig bait today shall
fry, fish tomorrow. 1t is not part Of
the promise OF May Is that all shall
catch fish, or that the sound and smell
of their cookery shall arise in the
kitchens on the morning Of May 16.
That isn't what the opening day is for,
but to furnish general excuse and
proyocation to go fishing. or all the
mighty multitude that went forth this
morning before sunrise, few shall es-
cape the jeers OF wife and friends
for few shall catch fish freely and not
all can be supplied by purchase. Most
of them realize this. but the old in
:stinct Of slaughter and the call of the
spring called them to the lakes as the
hart TO the waterbrooks. They had
to go or be unhappy, and it. is better
10 be happy failing to catch fish than
unhappy at home.
1t is the Smallest part of fishing to
catch fish. Many man has lost a day

to catch a fish that might have been
bought by the pound for 60 cents, and
thought himself we'll repaid. Feast
days and holidays are comparatively
few in America where men are as much
too busy as they are too idle in some
other countries. If more, men and
women went fishing there would be
more nonogenarians. The fifteenth Of
May and the first of September may
not witness any terrible slaughter
among the fish and the game in Iowa
where fishing is comparatively poor
and shooting a memory, but they fur
nish an excuse for the tramp atield and
the lettering journey along the river
side under the trees. They are two
of the half dozen American holidays,
that call men outdoors. Go fishing if
you can.

A pitiful tragedy has been happen
ing in Manson for . the past week.
Last Thursday night Mrs. Fred Sim
mons thought her husband was not
home as soon as he should be and she
went in search of him. finding him in
a gambling house on Main street.
She dragged him out and used him
quite roughly, losing her temper COM
pletely and upbraiding him in scath-
ing language. Last Saturday She
packed the household goods and left
for the home of her parents, taking
her little son with her. The boy is a
bright little fellow and seems to be
practically the only bond Of union be-
tween the father and mother. 1t
can be said for Mr.. Simmons, how
ever, that he is hard worker and
always attends to his business, that
of e barber. Occasionally he CANDLES
little, but he declares that he has
never lost cent at 1t and always pro-
vides well for his family. He further
states that his wife is, extravagant
and is not satisfied with spending all
of his wages, but has a habit of rum,
hing him IN debt by buying whatever
she took a fancy to and having it
to his account MIR. Simmons
feels that he is not all tor blame and

lrERMs:
a POOR ExcHANGE.

Cedar Rapids is agog over az scam
dalous sensation. One Of its citizens
prominent by the inheritance of a
name and fortune acquired by a father
with no lack of brains whatever he
may have been lacking in scruples, has
traded not only all that his father won
for him, but his wife and his business
for the qualification of am illicit pas
sion for a woman not his wife. The
woman who bears his name repudiates
him. The law firm of which he has
been a. member exbels him. The city
where he has lived and where his IA
ther was the leader of his profession
turns away from him. 1t was poor
trade.
So, too, with the woman in the case.
She had brains, artistic, geniuss and
had won reputation. She TRADED all
she had won for temporary possession
of this fellow from whom his wife. his
finn and his friends turn away in dis
gust. She made a poor trade.
Every community has seen this kind
of exchange made. In Iowa those who
enter openly on this way of the trans
gressor find 1t a hard path. We have
not arrived at the pitch Of philosophy
that condones open immortality and the
setting aside Of an honest wife in favor
OF a woman of bad character. The
Pittsburg plan doesn't go in Iowa, as
the fate of the Cedar Rapids trans
gressor would Indicate.

MRS HENRY ZEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing train of very
annoying and sometimes p ainful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period Of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the 1care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this perio d
likely to become active and with a
host Of nervous Invitations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, me1ancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this grea t
change may be expected.
