WILLIAMS cRITIcIZEs
ACTION OF coRTELYoU.
Technically Within The Law, But Not
The Intent Of Congress.

Washington, Nov. 21.-"There is no
doubt whatever that Secretary Cortel-
you Is technically within the law in Is
suing sfOO.0OO,00O in certificates Of in
debtedness,n said John Sharp Williams,
Democratic leader Of the House, yester-
day. Equally, there i no doubt what
ever that Congress never intended the
authority 20 do this should be exercised
at such a time as this.
Congress left the provision under
which Mr.. Cortelyou acted on the statute
books because about the time of the
Spanish war there were vague fear of
a war with other powers, and that in
such an event greenbacks would go to
discount. Hence the interest bearing
certificates were authorized.
Mr.. Williams made it plain he would
oppose any asset currency plan which
banks would be likely to regard as ac-
eeptable.

fairy story to some; but that's what
three men, nine head of horses and
Deering picker are doing at Taylor
Davis farm four miles northeast of
Tabor. This is the first Deering corn
picker to be used in this part of Iowa

machine, besides two wagons and teams
to haul the corn to the crib. The

Well Known Authority Tells How to
Prepare a Simple Mixture to
Overcome Dread Disease.

To relieve the worst forms of Rheu-
matism, take teaspoonful of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from home druggists, and are
eaisly mixed by shaking them we'll in
a bottle. Relief is generally felt from
the first few doses.
This prescription, states we'll
known authority in Cleveland morn
ing paber, forces the clogged-up in
active kidneys to filter and strain from
the blood the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid, which causes Rheu-
matism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dan
gers to life, this simple recipe will no
doubt be greatly valued by many suffer-
ers here at home, who should at once
prepare the mixture to get this relief.
1t is said that person who would
take this prescription regularly, dose
or two daily, or even few times a
week, would never have serious Kid
ney or Urinary disorders or Rheuma-
tism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which real.
ly relieve are scarce indeed, and wher
you need it, you want it badly. Oul
druggists here say they will either sup
ply these ingredients or make the mix
ture ready to take, if any of oul
readers so prefer.

GAINESVILLE Oil People Incorporate.

A big $4,000 corporation was launch
ed in Jefferson City, Tuesday. The
name of the company is the keystone
Oil and Gas Co., of Jefferson City, The
stock is divided into $4,000 shares of 81
each, and Wilson D. Althouse and
Henry B. Tyson, of Norristown, Pa, and
Fred Morck, Of Warren, Pa, each hold
1866 shares, and Monroe p. Belch, Leo
W. Eiler aud W. W. Goodall, of Jefferson
City, one share each.
The office of the company is located
in the office of w. S. Pope in the court
house. Mr.. Pope is the attorney for the
company. The officers are Wilson D.
Althouse, president; II. B. Tyson, treas
urer; and Fred Morck, secretary.
The Pennsylvania members of the
company came here with the cash for
the organization of the company, hav-
ing two certified checks of Pennsyl-
vania bank for $4,000 each.
The company will operate in Harrison
and other counties on the north border
of the state adjoining Iowa where they
have leased lands which they expect
will develop gas and OIL Daily Jetfer-
son City Tribune.
The above is good news as it shows
that the company thinks that the show
ing the well has made is good enough to
justify them in incorporating, and it
seems reasonably certain that the field
will be developed as soon as possible.
OF course it will take some time at best
to get the necessary machinery here to
take care of the oil or gas should they
be found. 1t will also take some time
to get core drills here to test the coun-
try and it will take probably six months
to drill before putting down shaft in
case coal in paying quantities is found.
We understand that the company will
soon make a new coal proposition in
which they will We the people a
chance to sell their coal rights outright.
The price will range from $50 an acre
up, according to the amount of coal
on the place. This looks like good
proposition as man with 100 acre
farm will be enabled to sell his coal
rights for $4,000 to $4,000 and still re-
tain all the surface rights that he ever
had and would be just that much clear
cash ahead.
The company has an abundance of
capital with which to thoroughly devel
ope both the oil ard coal fields in this
vicinity and say they will do SO if their
demands are GAINESVILLE News.

venience, one may attach these to the

this objection, if the outside horses are
hard-mouthed it has q tendency to pull
the lines out too far and worry the

entirely overcome by making d ID long

tening them together. In driving, tie

to handle four horses with as much

Timothy and Glover Hay.

Timothy hay is the one most COM
monty grown on the farm and found
in the market according to a Pennsyf--
vania bulletin. Timothy sells for a.
higher price in the market than other
hay, and Is regarded as being partlcu--
larly adapted to horses. 1t is deficient
In protein, and for that reason should
be fed with a grain ration of a nitro
genous nature. For horses no better
basis for a ration can be found than
timothy hay and oats. 1t is less valu-
able for cattle and sheep. Glover hay
is next to timothy In common use, and
the two are more often found mixed
than either Is found alone The nitro
genous nature Of the clover aids in
supplying the deficiency of protein In
the timothy. Clover is more valuable.
than timothy for cattle and sheep, but
is not considered so satisfactory for
horses.

CHAPTER XII.

Tho following morning, before Con-
stance Fraser had had time to compose
her thoughts, and begin to prepare her
child for what lay before her, Sheila
came into the room.
Audrey was lying very quiet In her
little bed, and the other girl noticed, with
anger in her heart, how exquisitely love
ly was that pale young face, pillowed
among the delicate lace-edged linen and
Swallowed by the pink-lined curtains. 1t
made her even savage, in her jealous
hatred, to notice what daintiness the
mother already gave to her new-found
child.
ST came to tell you" she said, very
abruptly, that am going to London
for few days. Janet will accompany
me. Is there anything that l can do
for you'll"
Mrs. Fraser shook her head. Sheila
went away in total ignorance that the
most vital turn in events was to take
place Immediately.
1t was no unusual thing'for her to go
to London for a few days, as sbs was a
shrewd business woman, and superintend-
ed nearly all the movements of her af-

nothing that would demand her alton
ton, except this former marriage Of her
fathers widow.
She determined during her absence
from Dinglewood to go herself to Broad
borough and make full inquiries about
Audrey.
"I will not rest till have full and
complete proof that she is Frank Ans
trutkers child. If only can be success
full and discover any flaw, l think 1
shall know how to make it disagreeable
for Mrs. Fraser and her charity girl"
To Sheila's annoyance she found that
Mr.. Chester was in possession of every
fact relating to Audrey's birth, and in
very short time placed these facts be-
fore her.
'There is not a shadow of doubt, Miss
Fraser" he said quietly, that this young
girl is Miss Anstruther. l have been
myself to Broadborough and made every
inquiry, and If these inquiries had failed,
the appearance of the registration of
birth and the marriage certificate would
settle the question. I have been down
to the church where Miss Gascoigne mar

cured another copy of the certificate.

(Which is so much worthless paper,

II am happy in being able to assure
you that this romance is not true, and
congratulate you that your stepmother

has treated her harshly, poor lady"
