Noted Oregon Statesman Restored to Health
on Recent Eastern Trip.

II was feeling wretchedly that morn
ing, and / made up my mind to try
the medicine. had seen leading ply
sicians without number both East and
West. They. had been unable to help
me in the least, and l no more be-
lieved this Cooper medicine could help
me than it could bring dead man
back to life. really didn't know why
bought it. 1t was like a drowning
man clutching at straw.
ITO make long story short, it has
been astonishingly successful in my
case Today l am enjoying a sound
stomach and perfect health for the
first time in twenty years I can eat
heartily without the slightest incon-
venience afterward. l have fine APP
petite, and sleep we'll l am no longer
moody and depressed, and my ner-
vousness has entirely disappeared.
ANY man who has chronic dyspep-
STA owes it to his family to try this
medicine"

we have never seen anything to sur
pass the famous Cooper preparations.

The advantage of the plan is APP
parent at once" said Mr. Ketchum
yesterday. IF we apply the present
freight schedule or classification to the
express business and make q rule fix
ing the rate at whatever is equitable
being 800 per cent of the freight rate
every shipper will have clear, definite
simple information as to what the eX-
press rate within Iowa is and what he
will have to pay ON his shipment.
AT present the rate is arbitrary.
There Is no classification of the mer-
chandise handled by the express COM
panies, except us to II few special
things, such as currency and fish, on
which special and exceptional rates are
made A book goes at the same rate
that the finest and most valuable mill
linery trimmings would go. But under
the rule that l propose, the different
kinds of merchandise would take their
regular classification just as il they
were to be shipped by freight instead
OF express: While the rate would be
fixed by a mere rule of the board.
This would so simplify the matter
Of express rates that every business
man would know instantly what his
| rate was going to be on a contemplated
shipment. He can easily determine his
freight rate by reference to the COM
mlssionels' classification and sched-
ulan

OATS WERE MARKETED EARLY
Terril Elevators Doing Little Business
Corn Crop Disappointment.

Spes iai TO times. Re publican
Terril, Nov. 22.--Our local elevators
are doing but very little business at
the present time, owing to the fact that
most of the oats were marketed early
on account of the prevailing high
price at the time of threshing, and the
few that did not sell are holding for
better market. 1t is estimated that
fully 80 per cent of the crop that ma
turally would be for sale has already
been marketed.
Corn picking has been delayed on
account of the corn not being in con-
dition to crib until unusually late, and
as the picking progresses, farmers are
finding out that they have been estl-
mating their crop too high, conse-
quently are all disappointed over the
amount that they are getting. With
the inferior quality, it makes the poor
est that Dickinson county has had for a
good many years, and it looks now as
if there would be but very little ship
ped from Terri this season.

Des Moines, Nov IA meeting OF
all the w. c. Il. us Of the city has
been called for Saturday afternoon, to
consider the question Of the best inter-
ests of the Benedict home. The latter
does not come under the maternity
home state law, but it Is thought adj
visable by : the board to move 1t to the
outskirts of the city where there could
be large grounds, the products OF
which could go to the support OF the
home. The board will enter soon upon
canvass for an endowment fund to
add to the $4,000 willed to them by
James Callahan. Because the state
has not given as much as in former
years, it is found that this endowment
fund would put the home on better
business basis.
