Unknown Student Sends Cash
to Fort Dodge School Board
For Tuition
sENDER's IDENTITY UNKNOWN
Was Pay for Tuition for High School
instruction Several Years Aso-Let-
ter Mailed in Fort Dodge High
School Fire Moves Conscience to
Activity.
Special to Times-Republican.

Fort Dodge, June 29.-The recent fire
which destroyed the high school build
ing here has stirred to activity the con-
science of some unknown, who was a
student in the school several years ago.
The president of the school board has
received the following letter enclosing
500 in bills:
June 81, 1907. Fort Dodge Public
School Board:-You will find $50 in
paper money which I will send because
tuition was not paid for my attending
fhigh school in your city some years
ago when perhaps some should have
been paid. / will send TO Mr.. Butler,
president of the board"
The United States postal department
is said to have the largest conscience
fund in the world. A similar fund is
also maintained by all OF the railroads
of the country and from time to time
small amounts have gone in from the
local office of the Illinois Central rail-
road in payment of transportation on
the blind baggage or In box cars, but 1t
remains for the Fort Dodge school
board to now establish similar fund
as result of the above letter received
by ]. B. Butler, president of the board,
Thursday afternoon, enclosed with
which was, as stated, 500 In paper
money.
Who the sender of the money or the
writer of the letter is there is not the
slightest clew, neither is there any way
of knowing to whom to give credit for
the payment OF back tuition, iltho the
letter was written in a mans hand,
clear and legible, but bearing no sigma
ture.
That it was dropped into the malls
in this city is evident from the post
mark on the envelope, which was adj
dressed to j. B. Butler as president OF
the school board, while in the upper
left hand corner was written the one
word: Important" Mr.. Butler is in
clined to the belief the money was
paid by some party who had as they
declared in the letter failed to pay tut
ton at the time it was due, and who
now believed the money would be OF
use to assist In the rebuilding. of the
burned structure. At the next meeting
of the school board he will lay the
matter before that body and 1t will be
decided what fund the money shall be
placed in altho it is probable no effort
will be made to learn the name of the
sender who has freed their conscience
by the payment of debt they feel
they honestly owed to the public
schools of the city. If there are others
in the city or surrounding country who
feel themselves under similar obliga-
lions and desire peace of mind Mr..
Butler would be pleased to hear from
them.

Blood Of Impurities-Try 1t,

A leading journal iii answering the
question, what is the best prescription

recent issue the following: Fluid Ex-
tract Of Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
Shake we'll and use in teaspoonful doses
after each meal and at bedtime.
A well known local druggist who is
familiar with this prescription states
that it is harmless, being composed Of
vegetable ingredients which can be OBJ
tanned from any good prescription phar-
macy.

usual patent medicines, which are in
the most part alcoholic concoctions.. The
ingredients cost but little They may
be procured from any good pharmacist

woman here should make up some and

a coed blood medicine and tonic.
The Kargon to clean the kidneys and
vitalize them so they can clean the
blood, Sarsapafilla to make new rich
blood and Dandelion to tone the stoni-
ach, clean the liver and make it active

prescription acts and so mildly and gent.
