large seating capacity. was crowded
and the audience was delighted with
every feature of the performance. The
entertainment was under the direction
of Prof Barbe. principal of the Fourth

lated on the success OF the affair. The

interesting numbers of the programme
were the Sun Bonnet, Indian and Flag

drills were in excellent training and
their costumes were quite unique.

trouble Is caused in reality by one of
these parasites. A man or woma n
may be afflicted in this manner for
years and not realize the true cause
OF their suffering. When first sold
Cooper's New Discovery did not
know that the medicine would remove
this trouble. Ihave since found that
1t invariably does so. The following
letter Is fair sample of the symptoms
as experienced by an individual thus
affected:
Twas always tired. Ny stomach
oloated and the slightest exertion
made me sick, weak and dizzy. Nv
appetite was variable and good
nights sleep was unknown to me.
When awoke in the mornings had
bad taste in my mouth and a coated
tongue. heard of the wonderful
benefits that were being derived from
Cooper's New Discovery, and decided
to try it.''
'"The horrible tape worm, sixty feet
long that had been sapping my life
away, passed from my system alive
and squirting after had taken three
doses. Now I have splendid appe-
tite, every trace of stomach trouble
has disappeared and my digestion is
good. sleep well and am gaining In
strength every day. Nick Einn,er.

Mrs. O'Brian Gets judgement

We quote the following from
today's Register and Leader.
A decision was handed down
in the United States court of
appeals yesterday, written by
Judge Hook, of st. Louis, af-
firming judgment for an
award of damages against the
Chicago & Northwestern Rail-
road Company for the death of
an express messenger killed in
a wreck and holding that ex-
cessive speeding of railroad
trains is dangerous. The case
was that of Mrs. Mary O'Brien,
of Cascade, Iowa, suing as ad-
ministratrix of the estate of
her son, James O'Brien, who
was killed in a wreck at Boone
on August l, 1898. The jury
of the trial awarded the plain
tilt $S,25O damages. The de-
cision in affirming judgment
sets forth that the evidence
supported "the conclusion that
the train was being negligently
operated in view of the unusual
and excessive speed" It was
shown in the evidence that the
trains schedule was forty-five
miles an hour"
Mr.. O'Brien was well known
in Missouri Valley, having had
a run out of this city.
