New York some weeks ago; What is
a man to do who is out of work in a
financial crisis and is starving?" The
secretary's answer was God knows. -

Eleventh Annual Affair Came to
close Saturday Evening After
Very Fine
Week.
NOTHING OBJECTIONABLE
Everybody Was Satisfied With the
Week and the Weather Could
Not Have Been Improved
Upon.

The eleventh annual free fall cele-
bration, came to close Saturday
evening, after being a great success
and another point scored by Keokuk.
True to its promise to the people
year after year, there was nothing OF
al Objectionable nature during the
week. There were no immoral shows
upon the streets and no gambling per-
mitted either upon the street or in
doors.
The free attractions were the best
ever given here and the side shows
were better and more numerous than
ever before There were many Wis
itors in the city and Thursday was
big day Considerable fall shopping
was done by the visitors, the retail
merchants reporting their trade to
have been about the same as during
the celebration of last year.
Weather conditions were almost
ideal. Except for little rain on the
opening day, the sun was out every
day and the weather was mild and
pleasant. The nights were crisp, but
not too cold and the moon was out
bright each evening No better week
could have been selected.
The celebration came to a close Sat
There was no balloon ascension on
Main street, witnessing the free at
fractions and patronizing the excellent
shows of the Patterson company. The
one and nearly everybody stayed out
until 1890 o'clock when Captain
Strahl made his last high dive into
the net.
The Crowds Dieoersed.
Shortly after that time, the crowds
dispersed and the work of wrecking
he street fair began. The tents were

and on Sunday morning the street pre-
sented very different appearance
from what it had during the week
The Patterson shows left Sunday
morning for Carrollton, Mo, where
they exhibit this week and from there
will head south to spend the winter.
The company made very favorable
impression here, fulfilling its contract
and adding greatly to the interest of
the week.
There was no balloon ascension on
Saturday evening. On account of the
wind. the big balloon could not be
filed with hot air soon enough for the
act. for by the time the big bag had
filled, the sky was too dark for the
people to have seen the balloon had
it gone up.

act with fire works effect. 1t was the
most beautiful high wire act ever seen
here at night.
During the week there was not a
single case of pocket picking report
ed to the police and there was but
one robbery in the city. The only ar
rests during the week were for DRINKS
and there We're fewer of them than
usual. the crowd as whole being

Heart Trouble
Nervous Prostitution

ANSx WIZ VASA SASAOA
After suffering five years from
nervous prostration and heart
trouble MIR. Elias Hollinger, 81
years old of Beaverton, Mich,
was completely cured by the
great -stimulant, Duff

l tried doctors and many nerve
remedies, but received little benefit
therefrom. After taking Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey for a short
time all symptoms of heart trouble
disappeared, and I began to get
stronger. | lack a few months of
being 81 years of age. l am one
of the few surviving veterans of
the Mexican War, and aside from
a disability contracted in the army,
I can say that I feel spry and MINI

taking of Duffy's Pure Malt Whis-
key. It makes the old young. Al
though a strong temperance man,
for many years, | heartily recon-
mend Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
to all afflicted, whether young or
old. - ELIAS HOLLINGER,
Beaverton, Mich.
Thousands of men and women,
who have almost reached the cent
ury mark, tell the same story as
Mr.. Hollinger about what Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey has done
toward renewing their youth and
keeping them vigorous, hale and
hearty and in possession of all
their faculties. As leading doc
tor says, the secret of the whole
thing is that Duffy's Pure Malt
Wlliskey, if taken as prescribed,
drives out all disease germs, in
vigorates the brain, enriches the
blood, quickens the circulation and
prevents decay and old age.
This wonderful remedy has been
extolled throughout the world for
what it has done for suffering hui
mainly. The success of Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey in curing dis
eases has caused many unreliable
dealers to put up substitutes and
limitations with which to fool the
people, claiming that their sub
stitutes are just as good as Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey. Insist on the
genuine. 1t will cure you.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is
sold throughout the world by
druggists, grocers aud dealers, or
shipped direct for $l.00 per large
bottle.

DESTROYING PESTS.
Experiments In st. Louis With Rat
Ejaculation.

A
An important experiment is on the
point OF trial by a health officer in ST.
Louis, which will be observed with In
terest all over the country. as its sue
cess promises to solve one of our
economic problems. When the econo-
mists begin to conjure with lEures, we
have some perfectly bewildering re-
suits. For instance, they said recently
that In this country rats annually de-
stroy property worth $100.000.000.
When we add to this like sum lost
because, OF fruit-tree pests. another due
to the cotton boil weevil. still another
by fire waste. the enormous destruction
OF property by floods, and by railroad
accidents. we wonder how wealthy
every body would be IL we could secure
a ten-year respite from our various
destructive enemies.
The st. Louis health bureau claims
to have discovered a virus which will
destroy the rodent population. 1t is
much to be wished that the experiment
will prove all that Is claimed for It..
The plan of DR.. VIM. who has the
matter in charge. is to inoculate rats In
different parts of the city with the
to spread among the other rats the
disease which eventually Is to kill all
the rats. His first trial will be made
lat Union Market, where there are rats
as big as cats. Several rats will be
caught and inoculated. The virus gives
the rats fever which drives them to
open air, so they will not die in their
holes. But the fever Is so contagious
that one sick rat may spread the dis
ease to a whole colony.-Rochester

might link together and fire their

tactics have been less concerned with
making converts than with attracting
parliamentary notice; and in this latter
regard they have been cn,incntly sue
cessfui. A national ballot-day. open to

whether their controlling idea is shared
by the majority OF their sex.
Will Mr.. Asquith provide that for
them? He has indicated himself as
an accommodating man and willing
to oblige; and there is no doubt that
the lady-friends OF the ballot have

Praise for Pat, Parker.

Editor OF The. Times Dispatch:
Sir,-It does seem uncalled for and
unkind for Reader" in your paper
OF yesterday to hold up poor and UNI
happy Pat Parker as "horrible ex-
ample" The writer went to school
with Pat. as did many other OF QUO
citizens. He was a kind-hearted. ams-
able boy, and had to leave school and
go to work when he was thirteen.
Nobody claimed that Pat was intellae-
tual. but ask any of the old boys who
knew him from childhood and knew
of his poverty-stricken environments.
and they will tell you that he was
miable. generous and ir-5
reproachably honest and truthful. and
free from malice. Surely these auall-
ties are to be commended.
Many people who outstripped him In
life. and occupied much higher social
and financial positions. would be se-
cretly much happier If they could feel
that the world conceded these attri-
butes to themselves. Judge not that
We be not judged is as true now as it
was In the past. He suffered in Is.
lence, and practically starved himself
to death. as he was too proud to ask
his old schoolmates for help.
It is certainly more appropriate to
bemoan his sad lot and put violet on
his grave rather than to throw a brick
at his memory. w. 0. SHELTON.

Oranges as Medicine.

People are coming around more and
more to the true opinion that mineral
drugs don't aid. but rather retard re-
covery in case OF sickness. and that the
only true medicine Is to be found in
those that nature supplies so freely
air. water and food.
Foremost in value as medicinal foods
are fresh fruits. and none Of these rank
higher than oranges. Oranges are very
rich in organic salts. They contain q
high amount of potassium, calcium and
sulphur, SURPRISING both cows and HUI
man milk in this respect. No other
fruit has such a high percentage of
sulphur. Orange juice contains on an
average IL IA per mile acid. which
accounts for the high amount OF potash
and lime which are necessary for the
formation of natural fruit acids. Pure
orange Juice is an ideal remedy for
scrofula, ricketts,, nervousness, and es-
pecially blood diseases principally
'scurvy). 1t is most valuable for the
reduction Of uric acid and other waste
matter in the system. and therefore
both preventive and curative food for
rheumatism and govt. Consumptlve
and anemic people will also be greatly
benefited by diet of oranges OH ac-
count OF the high percentage. of blood
building salts they contain.
Lemons have the largest amount of
magnesium lime of all Of the fruits.
They show the greatest acidity--73 per
mile, Their juice is excellent for the
preparation Of both fruit and vegetable
salads and should altogether replace
vinegar, which is worse than alcohol,
by depriving the blood of its important
organic salts. Its medicinal qualities
are highly appreciated in the cure OF
uric acid diseases.-Des Moines Regis
