WATERWAY IMPROVEMENT

me entire country is Interested in
The movement begun years ago by the
National Rivers and Harbors congress
IN impressing upon the government
and the people the urgent necessity
tor adopting strong federal policy of
waterway betterment. And since Pres
ldent Roosevelt has taken such an ac-
tive interest in the plans for making
the big streams of the country navi-
gable, the movement has attracted
wider notice and appears to be nearer
lruition than heretofore.
President Roosevelt has demonstrate
sd his interest in the plans for the
betterment of internal waterways by
accepting an invitation for a trip of in
spection down the Mississippi to Mem
phis. In his letter of acceptance the
President called attention to the ma
tional scope of, the work in these
words:
tsLet me say q special word Of APP
probation of the invitation which
came from the governors of Maine,
Florida and Oregon, all of whom, al
though they, are governors of states
which are not on the Mississippi,
showed their realization Of the enor-
nous Importance of improving this
great national highway because of the
benefit that easy and cheap transpor-
tation theron will mean to all the
union, and because they believe that
Improvement Of the Mississippi and its
tributaries will tend to bring about
the improvement of other navigable
waterways of the country as factor
in commercial and industrial develop
ment and as affording one of the best
possible methods Of regulating the
railway rates.
II feel that the problems before the
commission concern vitality not only
the people Of the Mississippi valley,
but the people of our entire country,
and anything | can do to forward the
rapid solution of these problems Of the
proper utilization of our graf water
ways, / am glad indeed to do"
And in supplementary letter the
President lays greater stress on the
fact sthat the benefits of development
will be felt by states far removed from
the Father of Waters, and that the
whole nation will benefit by the direct
saving that ultimately will be effected
by the reduction Of transportation tolls.
He said:
1.-THE basin Of the Mississippi, taken
as a whole, from the Gulf to the Great
Lakes. from the Alleghanies to the
Rockies, constitute the greatest agri-
cultural empire that men have ever cul-
tivated and an equally great system of
water highways is needed to supply
any inadequacy of land carriage for the
products Of this region"
Ottumwa is not on a great waterway
but its shippers send goods in car
loads to points north and south On the
Mississippi. 1t is felt here that any i'm
provement of the Mississippi that will
afford full competition for the water
way lines with the railroads will result
in rate reductions that will prove of
vast benefit.

Mrs. Elizabeth Schaal.

On Monday morning Of last week
occurred the death of Mrs Elizabeth
Schaal. She was an invalid for five
months. The dt ceased h 8 been a
good and noble citizen of this com.
munlty for many yeais. "The days
of the years of our pilgrimage"
are but the material settings OF the
picture that il painted on the eter-
nal canvas These "days of the
years" are not the life, nor the
measure of the life, the measure
of the life is in its own richness
and swee tness, life is divine
program filled up in the here and
the hereafter, life ls measured by
the sun beams it gathers in Its
arms and weaves into the hearts
of others, it is measured bv the
faith, hope and love it kindles in
the souls of others. He who lives
most and best is only "a voice cry
ing in the desert" of our worldli-
ness, calling us to higher ideals
of love and holiness, and the
christ likeness, measured by those
who can tell the largeness of a
beautiful christian life. Life is
but tender fragile thing; it
fingered few years and then it is
gone, absent, but ever present
seen, and last, but forever found
out of the silence. Mothers voice
is ever calling us, and from the
unforgotten past comes visions
of mothers love. The graves of
our souls are gathering about us,
the home circle seemingly grows
smaller, it is only the seeming tile
circle is enlarging, where the fam
lily dwells is home, he who sail,
"Come unto me | will give you
rest" leads tenderly the sad hearts
that weep in loneliness, his way
is best, is eyer best, and leadeth
unto rest. A loving mother has
gone but not forgotten.
The funeral was held Tuesday
afternoon from the Luthern church
at Ewing.

GET RICH QUICK.

Schemes of this class have again
come to grief along with the gullible
investors, causing serious loss to
innocent business concerns, as is
always the case of panics in Wall St.
While this last lesson is yet fresh
in mind, it is an opportune moment
to consider causes and means to
avoid like trouble in the future.
Direct your attention to that
greatest of all Newspapers the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. From its columns
one can readily detect the trend of
currency, its lodging places, by
whom handled, uses made of it, and
final results.
Again you read quotations of
Bonds, Stocks, and Securities of
every nature, fixing Status of all
business from the retailer, to United
States Government.
Also Current News, facts and re-
liable data covering the entire world;
all sufficiently explicit to enable
thinking people to avoid snags and
follow the channel of success.
Its extra size and high price, is
the secret of its ability to discover,
obtain, print and serve its patrons
with all the news, and cater to wants
of people in every calling of life.
The Weekly Enquirer for the
year 1908 has greatly increased its
Clubbing offers which now include
the most select and popular pub
LEGATIONS of the day at prices slightly
over half the regular Subscription
rates,
Do not overlook the fact that the
year 1908 promises to excel in pros
perity any of the past, and that
the Enquirer printed at Cincinnati,
Ohio, is one of the most reliable
sources of information.

the light rails of the main track
and replacing them with much
heavier ones, an improvement that
was greatly needed. 1t is report

intend making an inspection trip
through here soon and that many
other improvements are eontem-
plated. Let's hope we may get a

TN these days almost every ailment 10
i supposed to be caused by disease
germs.
The medical profession as well as the
people, seem to have gone mad over the
germ theory of disease.
The universal fear and dread OF dis
ease germs Is becoming q very serious
matter to the welfare and happiness OK
DR.. Hartman has consistently con-
tended through all the rise and spread
of the germ theory, that most diseases
are caused by climatic Influences.
For instance, catching cold is respon-
sible for more than one-half of the ills
to which human beings are subject.
Danger Of Neglected Colds.
A person catches cold easily, thinks
nothing about it, negiecfs IL, when 1t
finally becomes settled in some organ
of the body, and chronic disease Is tho
result.
A few doses of Peruna in the begin
ming of the cold would have saved
months of suffering, as we'll as great OK
pense for treatment.
Peruna Is a reliable relief for cold.
Almost every body knows this.
Instead OF trying to dislodge or Kill
some imaginary germ, IL Peruna was
used at the proper time its tonic proper
tiles and anti-catarrhal qualities would
soon convince The patient that he has
found the right remedy.
A multi of letters are received
testifying to this fact.
Keep Peruna in the house. Use 1t
whenever cold or climatic affections as
sail, and sickness in the household will
become greatly lessened, il not entirely
prevented.
