Take the case of Mrs. N. W. Dowcen
of New Bern, N. c. Mrs. Bowden says:
zone year ago l was in a dying condi-
ton. Three doctors had given me up to
die. 1 tried Force of Life, and today I
am a well woman. I thank God for
the day that treatment was sent to me"
Here is also a letter from Mrs. Hannah
Peters, Of Harrisburg, Pa. You nay
read it for yourself. Mrs. Peters says:
II thank our Heavenly Father for guid-
ing me to you, and for the good health
you have restored to me. I would
have been in my grave had 1t not been
for you. Your treatment has certainly
cured me completely" Then take the
case Of Mr.. Hyatt. Here was a mar
who had gone from doctor to doctor;
finally he decided to try Force OF Life:
United States Commissioners Ridgeway
who spent over three months investi-fs
eating Force of Life. treatment, says
in regard to Mr.. Hyatt that his case
showed an instance Of remarkable re-
covery RAISED, AS IT WE'RE, FROM
THE GRAVE"
The Doctor was asked: "Do you
make a free offer to the sick and afflict-s
ed everywhere without any conditions
attached?" II do" said the Doctor.
"for a limited time. It is my present
intention to charge a moderate fee for
this service later. 1t will probably cost
thousands Of dollars for me to fulfill
this free offer, but / wish rich and poor

I will send them a course Of treat

I will send the treatment Immediately

This mighty unseen force Of such

past people who accidentally stumbled
on it and employed it, were regarded
as privileged by the Creator, and theft
power was considered supernatural, be-
cause it could not be explained, and yet

creston May Get Factory.

C%reston, Dec. 19.-Creston may have
q harrow factory. phe stockholders in
the Harmon harrow project convened
at the court house Monday night and
reported that the necessary amount to
promise Creston a factory is sub
scribed, with the exception Of 5000.
This deficit is almost sure to be raised
without much difficulty. A committee
was appointed to continue the solici-
tation, and 1t is probable the amount
will be raised very quickly. A repre-
sentative committee from Villisca were
at the meeting, and expressed their de-
sire for establishing the factory at that
place., should Creston turn it down.

church authorities and an effort will be made to learn If this is the grave of the friar, long sought by the church. It may have been given by the priest to converted Indian, and l that is was upon his skeleton that It was found, but priest would not likely give away probably the only silver crucifix he owned, and the bones are apparently not those of an Indian.
 The crucifix is hand made and of solid silver. At the base appear a skull and crossbones. Two letters and the top of third are found at the top point. It is supposed that the letters T. N. R. l." found on all crosses were originally upon this one, but the first q" is not visible, the "N'' is upside down and the last let ter is almost half worn away
 The double barred cross has been traced to the ownership of Pierre Dorlon, once religious worker among the Indians, who was mem- Der of the Lewis and Clark expedi- tion. D0rion at that time had mar ried an Indian squaw and acted as guide through much of the Northwest. In 1872 he was with another big ex- petition, but wandered away. The cross was found on Il grave on the top of a hill close by a towering cedar upon the trunk of which "O-R- ION" in rude carving appeared.
 The little stone figure is about four inches in length and two in width. Casts of 1t have been made and sent all over the world, one being present. ed to Pope Plus. More than cen tury ago the Omaha Indians main- tained rude temples in each of which they sacredly guarded what was known later as the shell of St. John.. These temples were erected under the ministrations of friars of those days, whose lives were spent among the Indians, and it is to discover if in the records at Rome any relics such as this are to be found or a record made of them that cast was sent to the Vatican

RELICS OF EARLY CATHOLICS
Found in Nebraska and Interesting
 the Church Authorities.

Three interesting curios recent ly unearthed in Nebraska, and each at least more than century old, are attracting the attention of Catholic dignitaries in the United States. The three curios, solid silver crucifix, a double barred cross of iron and a figure in stone, are now on exhibition at the State Historical Society muse- um. The cruciflx is believed to have once belonged to Friar Padilla, who was the first white priest to attempt alone the religious subjugation of the Indians of the plains. Padilla lived among the red men of Nebraska back in the sixteenth century, but after a time was killed.
 The crucifix was discovered a few months ago by a farmer while dig ging for foundation on his farm one mile west of Orleans, Harlem county. It was in this section that tradition has it Padilla was murder ed. It was found resting upon the collarbone of skeleton. Father M. A. Shine, rector of the Lincoln cathedral, has laid these facts before

ORIGIN OF DIES MONIES.
The Name Not French. as Commonly
 Supposed, but Indian.

After three years of discussion and research, the city of Des Moines, cap. ital of Iowa, has formally decided that its name is not of French ex- traction.
 The discussion was brought to a crisis three years ago when the cru. dlte down east writer in magazine demanded that the early French explorers, such as LaSalle, Hennepin Dubuque and Des Moines shaould be adequately represented at the St Louis Exposition"
 The debate seems to- have settled that Des Moines was not named after any early French Explorer, that there never was such proper name.
 The name comes from the Indians, declares a writer in Queries.
 It was originally Moingona, and was nrst given to the Des Moines river by some of the French. On various French maps which have been looked up It was put down as MoingSna The character IS" was used by them at that time to signify the sound of "ou." -
 As result the early Americans who followed the Frenchmen into the valley, not having time to write and explain this odd French character. cut the word to Moin.
 Then, when the next stage of de- velopment came, the river, known as "the Moin" was assumed to have been named by the French and the De" was substituted for the English arti- Gle. Finally the substitution of a uniformly French spelling made 1t Des Moines, without changing the pronunciation.
 It was originally a pure Indian name, but series of accidental cor ruptions have made it apparently a French word. It's meaning in the Indian tongue has been utterly lost.
 It was supposed for many years. under the theory that the name was French, that it meant "the monks" but investigation utterly disproyed this. The French who came after the name was adapted to French forms were the most mystified as to the meaning in French.

 WASHINGTON, March 27. = Three fav0rites and three outsiders won al Bennings. The sixth event, a handicap at one mile and forty yards, was the most interesting of the day. Or monde's Right was strong favorite After leading for three furlongs he was overtaken by Sonoma Belle, at 12 to 1, and they turned into the stretch on practically even terms. Sailor, at 10 to 1, came fast, but was unable to wrest the place from Sono- ma Belle.
 Lady Vera, top heavy favorite, easily won the first event. with Miller up. August Belmont's Queens Sou venir, as good as 40 to 1. took the second race with little effort, fully justifying her owners importing her at a fancy price. Giles, the fayorite, with Radtke up, could do no better than third. The third event went to the odds on favorite, Workman, while in the fourth the favorite, Black Mate, towroped the field
 Brookdale, the favorite in the fifth, did not figure in the result, the win ner being 12 to 1 outsider, Akbar. Summaries:
