PRESIDENT HANcHER OURS.
Resigns Place at Head Of Iowa Yves
leyan University.

Mount Pleasant.-At special meet,
Ing Of the executive committee Of
Iowa Wesleyan university, Mr.. Han,

Ing OF the board of trustees. A special

' Management.

Management.
Dubuque.--Friends of municipal
.nnership in Dubuque are congratu-
,oting themselves. The most opti-
mistic supporters Of the policy have
had their hopes fulfilled regarding
,be local water works plant. The new
trustees have made their quarterly
renort and the showing Is all that
could be asked for.
For the three months ending Oct.
l. the profits on operation were ST.
kc6 making a total for the five
months under the new regime Of 49,.
rs1 The falling off OF the profits
for the last three months as COM
nared with the two months preceding
e accounted for in the fact that air
comnressors working twenty-four
hours day were necessary to force
the streams onto the hill during low
water. New drive wells now in
course of completion will obviate this
expense in large part by cutting OF
Is per cent of the fuel bills.
The large fact that stands forth is
that under the old trustees, whose
Encouragement is today recognized
Nv every sane person, the plant in
eurred an Indebtedness of $4,000,
which was steadily piling up, while
rnder the new arrangement the old
debt is being wiped out and the plant
Is making money. The absence Of
tbievery under the present arrange
ment and the adherence to strict busi-
ness principles is making of the in
stitution a profit producing utility in
stead of bill of expense to the NUM-.
eipal corporation. --,-
The earning capacity of the plant
Is shown by the recent report, was a
revelation to most Of the citizens. 1t
confirms the belief widely expressed
that the old trustees had set about it
deliberately to wreck the plant which
they knew was money maker in
order that the property might be
bought up at a nominal price and
operated as private institution.
Arthur Macarthur, former superin-
tendent. is now awaiting the action
Of the grand jury on charge of en-
bezzlement.

NOVEL CURE FOR COLDS.
Healing Medication that 10 aroathsd
Giving Quick Relief.

1t seems just as ridiculous to pu
medicine into the stomach TO cure &
cold in the head or lungs as it does tC
go out in the rain if we want to keer
dry.
The fact that many people right in
Americas cough and hawk and shuttle
for days and weeks after they treat g
cold with the usual stomach dosing
shows how valueless are the ordinary
cough and cold cures.
The right way to cure cold in the
head or cough and irritation in the
throat and lungs, is by breathing
Hyomei's medicated air. Put few
drops of Hyomei in the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit and
breathe this healing air for few times
and immediate relief will be noted
The medication goes right to the spo1
where the disease germs are located
and renders them harmless in the fiji
ture.
At the same time the soothing and
healing effects of Hyomei on the irri.
tated mucous membrane give quick re-
lief, and the cough or cold is broken
up.
The best evidence of the great value
of HyOmei in curing coughs, colds and
all bronchial troubles is the fact thai
Dodson's Pharmacy give an absolute
guarantee with every outfit they sell
that if it does not give satisfaction, the
money will be refunded.

dangerous to travel. He asks the
commission to investigate these facts
and to require the property to be put
in safe and satisfactory condition, He
gives numerous details, cites a num-
Der of recent wrecks and in the course
of his petition declares that the policy
of the present lessees, who unlike their
predecessors, do not care to lessen the
business of the road by diverting traffic
to competing lines, has been one of
pure revenue; their aim has been to
run the largest and heaviest trains
possible over the smallest and cheapest
track. and thus convert a lease that
was for many years an expense to its
owners, into a source of swollen and
inflated profit.

Why Perfect Beer
Means Health
The Best Beer Is Possible Only With
Eight-Day Malta Scientific Fact
About Brewing,

perfect beer is healthful--lt builds
up strength, aids digestion, and acts as
tonic in giving renewed vitality. A
perfect beer is possible only with perfect
malt. ard Il perfect malt can only be
made by the eight-day process used by
Pabst.
Malt is made from barley. Barley
contains in it's Elementary form the
constituents that go to build up the
human system. The process of making
malt, as some of our readers may
know, is much the same as the process
growing and the chemical changes that
take place when it sprouts are similar
to the action of the digestive fluids in
the body if the grain were eaten.
Pabst has proven by scientific ex--
periments and sixty years of practical
brewing that eight days are required
in making malt to bring about those
necessary chemical changes by which
the perfect predigested malt is pro-
duced In many breWeries the old
four day process is still used and the
malt is of forced, unnatural develop
ment. It lacks in nutrition and is in
all ways inferior, much of tho vital
nutriment of the grain being lost The
Pabst eight-day mating process re-
tainS in predigeSted form in the beer
all of the nutritious, life-giVing ele-
ments of the grain.
Pabst eight-day malt, the perfect
malt, doubles the cost of brewing-but
method of brewing, makes Pabst Blue
Ribbon Beer superior as a nouriShing
tonic and a delicious beverage.
If your food doesn't taste just right,
or if your digestion is little off," or
your appetite is poor, drink Pabst Blue
Ribbon beer before or with your meals,
and find out for yourself how good it is.
