There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced 1t
local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly falling
to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

The improved crutch is shown In the

difference noticeable. 1t closely re-
sembles the ordinary crutch with one
exception-and that exception is a
spring near the lower end. Tho
spring is placed between the usual
rubber guard and the end Of the
arms Of the crutch and is coiled
around a connecting rod. The pur-
pose of the spring is apparent at
once. A cripple's progress is neces-
sarily slow and tedious. but this
little improvement should make his

"The relative motion OF the sun
and earth Is such that the suns ap-
parent path in the heavens. when
mapped with reference TO the hori-
zon plane of some fixed locality, IS
only completed so that the sun be-
gins to describe approximately the
same path because of eeveral compo-
nent motions of very long period,
which are for the present purposes OF
the second order of magnitude and
may be neglected Considering the
suns path results from two compo-
nent motions, the rotation of the
earth on its axis once per day and
the revolution in It's orbit once per
year. It will be seen that this path is
one continuous curve which is ap-
proxlmately completed only once q
year. and will be retraced each sue
ceeding year. Each day the path is
almost complete circle, but tho
circle is not quite closed, as the path
the following day is similar circle
very near the preceding one, so that
the path resembles a screw thread
except that the pitch of the screw is
not uniform throughout the year. but
changes from its maximum at the
time of the equinoxes to zero at the
solstices.
For a sun-dial which is to indi
cate time IT is necessary to know
more than the mere path of the sun
in the heavens, which is only n geo
metrical curve described in space. II
is necessary to know where the sun
Is situated on this curve at all times.
If a point is marked on the suns
path, as above described, for every
hour throughout the year, 1t will be
found. that the points made at the
same hour. say 3 o'clock, on succeed
ing days lie very close together as
compared with points corresponding
to succeeding hours of the same day.

the sun would have made a complete
revolution in its screw-thread path.

point ON the next adjacent thread.

succeeding day. all the 3 o'clock
points fer example, would be located

tionablc because the shadow of the

SIN DIAL FOR STANDARD TIME.
Advantages Claimed by the Inventor
fer This Over the Ordinary Form.

The ordinary sun-dial naturally
indicates sun-time, and the sun as
timepiece is not accurate. because It's

standard time. or the local time of
an particular place, II desired is
described in the Literary Digest. The

The First Dancers.

People have danced for thousands
of years, and will probably continue
20 do so for ages to come. This Gus
tom Is Of ancient origin. The first
people to dance were the Curetes,
who adopted dancing as a mark or
rejoicing in 1543 B. c. In early times
the Greeks combined dancing with
the drama, and in 22 B. c. pantomim'c
dances were introduced on the Roman
stage. At the discovery of America
the American Indians were holding
their religious, martial, and social
dances.

IOWA CROP BULLETIN
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AS NOTED BY THE
WEATHER BUREAU.

Des MONIES, Iao Sept. 24-During
the past week abnormally high tenn
peratures prevailed five days, with
brisk, drying winds. The last two
days were much colder bringing the
average excess of temperature for the
week down to to degrees. Light
frosts were reported on Sunday morn
ing in northern, central and eastern
districts. There was ample rainfall
in all sections, and some local excess
in portions of the northern and east
ern counties. 1t was the warmest
week in September, very favorable for
fastening the maturity of the corn
crop. Reports from the fields indicate
that for the state at large about 20
per cent of the crop is ripe enough to
be cut and shocked, and cutting is In
progress in nearly all districts. The
belated 80 per cent is more than us
ually variable as to hardness of the
ears, and most of it needs ten to If
teen days of ripening weather to make
it practically safe. Fair progress has
been made in blowing. The pastures

GREAT NORTHERN DEFEATED
JUDGMENT IN REBATE CASES Is
AFFIRMED AT DENVER.
Hepburn Act Hold Amendatory In
Opinion BY the Federal
Court of Appeals.

Denver, Col, Sept. 24.-In an opin.
ion announced Monday by the United
States circuit court of appeals sitting
in Denver, the judgment of the district
court for Minnesota against the Great
Northern railroad in the rebate cases
was practically affirmed.
The circuit court holds that the
Hepburn act is an amendatory act and
not repeating act, that insofar as it
repeats or reproduces portions of the
Elkins act 1t continues them in force
and makes no break In the law, and
that insofar as it omits or changes pro.
visions of the Elkins act it repeats
them.
The act of granting rebates was ad.
mitted by the Great Northern at the
trial and the only question presented
by the defendant was whether or not
the Elkins act of 1903, making it an
offense and fixing punishment for
granting rebates, was repealed by the
Hepburn act of 1906 In such a way
that thereafter there could be no
prosecution of offenses committed pri.
or to the appeal. The district court
ruled against this contention OF the
railway company and hence the ap-
peal.
The decision was written by Judge
Vandeyenter and is concurred in by
Judges Adams and Riner. The case
originally was criminal prosecution
against the Great Northern Railway
company in the district court of the
United States for Minnesota and the
offenses charged in the indictment
consisted Of granting rebates upon
each of fifteen distinct carload ship
ments Of corn and oats shipped by a
Minneapolis dealer in Minneapolis to
Seattle during the months of April,
May, June and July. 1906. The sched-
ule Of the railway at that time fixed
the rate upon these commodities at
so cents per 100 pounds, and the re-
bates granted consisted of allowances
ranging from Is to 20 cents per 100
pounds.
The maximum fine in this case is
100000 for each offense, and there
are over dozen cases of great import
ance awaiting the result of the deci-
sion handed down Monday, notably
four Kansas City cases in which the
Armour. Cudahy, Swift and Morris
Packing companies were each fined
$4,000 for accepting rebates.

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS A.
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL

Chicago, Sept. 21.-The Black Dia-
mond today says; THE influences
that work on the Chicago market fo-
the time being are shortage of la
Dor, growing shortage of railroad
cars and better demand for lump
coal. These things naturally tend
toward higher prices for the lump
product, especially eastern coal, but
result by the natural operation of the
law of supply and demand in a semi
decentralization of the screening mar
ket which Is becoming more and more
serious. the demand for coal in out
lying districts il especially active ami
this has had the effect of practically
withdrawing Carterville coal from
the Chicago market. At the same
time the country is taking consider
able domestic coal and this, together
with the early buying in the city of
Chicago, mas the effect of strengthen
ing prices all around.
up to this time the snortage of
labor seems to nave been confined
mainly to the eastern fields. At the
present time it is evident that the
demand for miners in the Indiana
field cannot be supplied and at the
same time something of the same
shortage is being felt in the Illinois
territory. Most of the operators are
apprehelsive lest this growing short
age of labor should curtail production
of mines a little later on, when the
demand will be even stronger than at
the minute. If this shortage of labor
continues it is likely to be an effec-
tive offse' for any increase move

GREAT CORPSE INTO ADAM
DoNED MINE.

Abba, Ia, Sept. 23.-Probably the
greatest beer killing" that has ever
occurred in this part Of the state came
off In Abba Saturday evening, but it
was the sheriff of the county with as

The beer in question was a quantity
that had been seized at Hooking, a
mining town two miles south of Abba.
The beer was seized upon search
warrant Labor day. 1t was brought to
Abba, but taken back to Hooking on
a change of venue.
A jury of six miners found that the
beer should not have been seized, and
