and I believe I can do this by wear
ing another pair of DIR. John Wilson
Gibbs "ELECTRICURA" shoes.
About one year ago. I was consid-
cred by friends and several physicians,
a hopeless victim of rheumatism I
was reduced in flesh more than one
third and my nervous system was a
complete wreck. I spent about three
months at Hot Springs, Ark, and
eight weeks at Marlin Hot Wells,
Texas, taking in all one hundred and
sixteen hot vapOr baths; l also spent
eight weeks at Mineral Wells. Texas,
drinking from fifteen to ffty-five
pints of the celebrated Crazy Weir
water. 1 returned from there to Lit
tie Rock, Ark, and under one of the
most eminent physicians in the coun-
try, I took course of GOatlymph.
After all of this 1 was able to walk
without my crutcheS but was very
weak and suffered quite a good deal
with my rheumatism.

sworn off ever trying anything else
that to take or rub, but as Mr..
Prewftt assured me that if these shoes
did not give satisfactory wear aside
from their curative powers, he would
pay for them, consented to try a
pair. I got well and don't know
whether the shoes cured me or not.
but haven't a sign of rheumatism
and have gained back my lost
strength and flesh. and think so well
of the shoes that I intend to wear
them as long as I can get them.
Anybody who wants to know what

YOU may respectfully refer them to

Hour West of jefferson City.
Jefferson City, Mo, July 1S.-The
Missouri Board of Railroad commits
sioner3 met yesterday at the Equita-
BILE building and issued an order upon
the Missouri Pacific Railway company
as follows:
1. That until defects in the physical
| condition of the main line described in
detail in the report of the board are
corrected, the speed of the trains
shall not exceed thirty miles an hour
between Jefferson City and Kansas
City.
2. Until defects described in the re-
! port with reference to the Colorado
line between Kansas City and the Kan
sas state line are remedied, the speed
of trains on that line shall not exceed
twelve miles per hour
g. Until defects on the line of the
river route from Kansas City to Cole
Junction are corrected, the speed of
trains shall not exceed twenty-five
miles an hour.
4. Until defects in the line between
Pleasant Hill and Joplin are correct
ed, the speed of trains shall not ex-
coed twenty-five miles an hour.
The commission adds: "It is possible
that trains might go safely over these
divisions at greater speed, but pos
sibility of accidents is too great, and in
as much as repairs, if entered upon at
once. can be made in comparatively
short time. the speed limit need not
long remain in effect, but with proper
regard for the safety of those who
travel this order must be respected
until such time as the commission
feels the limit may be safely with
drawn"
In view of the badly washed condi-
ton of the line at places south of the
river route, it is ordered that such
track be patrolled until the repairs
are made.

Missouri Pacific railroad stated this
afternoon they had not been served

port they state:
During the entire trip of four days

Fire at McIntire.

McIntire had destructive fire early
Tuesday morning, in which VIM. Frost
and daughter Minnie had a narrow
escape from the flames. In an account
of the fire, the Riceville Recorder says
in part:
The alarm was first given by dog,
and to this faithful animal who was
apprehensive for the safety of VIM.
Frost, is probably due the relatively
small loss. The dog belongs to John
Stacy, a conductor on the branch, who
rooms in the upper part of the Frost
building. Stacy was not at home but
the dog was, and when it smelled the
smoke and evidently realized the danger
the dog awakened Mr.. Frost. He in
turn aroused his daughter, they being
the only occupants. Miss Frost, how
ever, was SO dazed that she narrowly
escaped with her life, her door being
locked and in the darkness and confusion
she was quite while getting out.
The fire was first seen in the second
story of the Ben McIntire building,
this being unoccupied. So far as known
nobody had been in the building that
day and the origin of the fire is mys-
terry although the belief is entertained
that it was the work of an incendiary.
THE buildings Destroyed were the
empty hotel property, the VIM. Frost
building on the west, the store building
empty below but occupied above by A.
H. Niles and another building on the
east, all two-story frame structures.
Also an ice house and barn. The
lumber yard of Jas. A. Smith being on
fire several times but extinguished by
the heroic work of the people. The
barber shop got good scorching but
was saved, and some of the buildings
across the street were roasted and
glass windows broken.
1t is difficult at this time to estimate
the losses, but it is not believed they
will greatly exceed $4,000, as the house
hold goods were mostly saved. AS far
as can be learned the only Insurance
carried was $500 on the Frost building
and $70O on the hotel. tits not believed
any of the buildings will be rebuilt. 2

out in the infant church, than it Is to
begin at Genesis and read straight
through to Revelations. After we have
gained an idea of the great end to
which God has been working, let us

words that every page may become q

The address, "That Boy,n by Miss
ELENA Yeater of Des Moines was one
o. the best things at the convention.
The boy is one of the biggest questions
that confronts the people today. He is
a convenient object to lay blame upon.
The trying age when the boy becomes
self.conscious is the time when parents
often lose the confidence of the boys.
The S. S. teacher has him only twenty
four hours in the year to teach to him
the way of life. Many of the other
hours are spent with companions OF bad
| influence. We do not want more money
but more character, the great need of
today. The S. s.. teachers are ex-
pected to develop this in the twenty
four hours they have that boy. Learn
to know that boy. Study boy nature
and you will be surprised at the many
soft spots in his heart. When you find
that spot, you have found the key that
will unlock his heart to God S influence.
The character is there, only waiting o
chance to grow. There is danger for
that boy in the glass, and tn ese things
must be abolished in the home. He
may be the governor of Iowa some day
or even the president of these United
States. Tt is our duty to train him as
such. Abraham Lincoln, William Nc
\ Kinley, Jesus Christ, were boys. So
| let us take care of sThat Boy.
The stereopticon address in the even
! ing by Rev. Hill made us think of
what some of these boys have become
and many more are following in their
. footsteps. Their only hope is Jesus,
the one who can save to the uttermost.
