AmEs COUPLE CAUSE SURPRISE.
Frank M. Noble Files Divorce Petition
Charging Wife With Desertion.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Aug. 20.-Frank M. Noble,
a we'll known citizen of Arnes, has filed
petition for divorce from his wife,
charging deserton as the cause. There
has been mutual agreement regard
ing all property interests, and there is
no disagreement over that score in the
divorce proceedings, which were
brought thru his lawyer, G. A. Under
wood.
In the short. plainly termed and
worded petition, which was filed with
the clerk of the courts, there Is Moth
ing said of the cause Of the desertion,
nor does 1t recite the circumstances
under which the couple have lived Tor
years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Noble have lived IN
Ames for third of a century, and
have grown children, the mother being
with a married daughter in Des Moines
at this time. Some years ago the hus-
band lost his eyesight, and he was to-
tally blind for years. About two years
ago, thru some apparent miracle, he
regained his sight and shortly after
that the wife left him and went to Dies
Moines to make her home.

for its blood cleansing and specific cura-
tive effects upon the diseased mucous
membranes. 1t will cure very large
per cent. of all cases, even after they
have reached the Lucrative, or chronic
stage, and no matter of hoso many gears
standing they may be. 1t is equally
efficacious in affections of the mucous
lining of the larynx, bronchia and res
piratory organs in general, thus curing
bronchitis, laryngitis and other atfec-
tions giving rise to obstinate, hang-on-
coughs. It is not so good in acute
coughs following sudden colds, as IN
the lingering, chronic coughs. Nor
must the vGolden Medical Discovery"
be expected to work miracles. 1t will
not cure consumption in its advanced
stages-no medicine will do that, but
for all obstinate hang on-coughs due to
laryngial or bronchial irritation and
kindred affections, of the throat which,
if neglected or badly treated, are likely
to lead up to consumption, the vDis-
eovery" can be relied upon to produce
the best curative results.
The vGolden Medical Discovery" is,
from it's tonic and specific curative COM
troll over mucous surfaces, especially
efficacious in curing Indigestion, dys-
pepsia, weak stomach and Liver Com
plant, or biliousness. Even liberation
of the stomach and bowels has in thou
sands of cases been cured by it; also
obstinate chronic diarrhea.
In addition to all the foregoing, not
the least valuable of the marvelously
eficacious properties possessed by tho
uDiscovery" is the unequaled regulate
ing and strengthening effect e4erted by
it over the hearts action. It has made
some wonderful cures of very pro-
bounced valvular and other affections
of that organ.
The reason why vGolden Medical
Discovery" cures so wide range of dis
eases is made plain in booklet sent
fyee on request mailed to DR.. r. ".
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. If interested,
send for it.
The powerful Alternative or blood pur-
flying properties possessed by the Dis
coveryn will naturally suggest it's use
flor the cure of blotches, pimples, erup-
tons; as eczema, salt-rheum, and other
skin affections in all of which it has
made remarkable cures; also in scrofu-
lous sores and old, open ulcers, or eat
ing sores. To heal the latter, use DR..
Pierce's All-Healing Salve as q local
application, while taking the Golden
Medical Discovery to correct the blood
and cleanse the system. A box will be
mailed to any address on receipt of
fifty four cents in stamps. If your

sadly disappointed in their matrimon-

the August term of the district court,

their present unhappy existence are
named in the petitions. Some are cru
elty and inhuman treatment, the crime
of adultery is charged in some, ana

the latter of which is strictly FORBID
den by the company. The time is not
far distant when the. large railroad
companies like the Burlington will be
convinced of the advantage of estab-
fishing an interurban hourly service
along their lines. These local trains
consisting of perhaps a coach or two
could be run by gasolene, and would
certainly pay as we'll as electric lines
which frequently parallel the steam
roads. Hourly service between Alton
and Creston would double and treble
the traffic between the two towns, as 1t
would all along the road

the veteran firemen to use the appar-
atus in their parade which they will
hold on Thursday of the Homecoming
week. When the apparatus reached
the city and was inspected b, Fire
Chief Reinfried and Secretary Skemp,
it was found that it was altogether
too small and SO was shipped back to
McGregor. The officials Of the Veter-
an Firemen's association are planning
on getting an engine and hose cart
from some other city to the west Of
Dubuque, but where the apparatus will
come from they are not yet ready to
state. The McGregor outfit, it is I'M
derstood, once belonged in this city.

The Des Moines stock yards at East
Eighteenth street have not been closed,
Notwithstanding the ordinance to that

ton j. l.. England, Of Van Meter,

lease on the property covering period
of several years from F. M. Hubbell,

putting down cement floors and maxi

yards generally in first class shape.
It is stated that the business will be
continued, at least until the matter has
gone thru the courts. The repairs and
| improveme were completed Satur-
day and the yards are now ready for
business The promoters cite similar
case in Oskaloosa several years ago,

were a necessity to the railroad com.

corn is now SO far along that field
corn is drying and is plenty hard for
feeding. The crops in Humboldt county
were never better, and seldom as good
as this year, considering the cash
value of crops. The yield has been

have never secured more cash per acre

At the regular meeting of the town

DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription con-
tains no alcohol, and no narcotics or
other harmful or habit-forming drugs,
as will be seen from its published in
gradients. 1t contains only such native,
medicinal roots as are most highly rec
commended by leading medical writers
and practitioners of all the several
schools OF practice, for the cure of wom-
ans delicate and peculiar ailments. 1t

ditiou of the system, as it assists Nature
in restoring the bealthful action OF all
the organs distinctly feminine.

advised for no other diseases.

aged, suffering from frequent headaches,

spots floating before the eyes, have
dragging-down or heavy feeling in lower
abdomen, or pelvic region, with, per-
haps, pelvic catarrh, or other symptoms
of functional or organic affections of the
distinctly feminine organs, then you will
make no mistake if you resort to the
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
The most advanced medical science
knows no better agents for the cure OF
all such diseases than are happily and
tremendously combined in this widely
famed Prescription" of DR.. Pierce.
You can't afford to accept any secret
nostrum of unknown composition and
of questionable merit as substitute
for this professionally endorsed and time
tested remedy OF KNOWN COMPOSITION,
simply that some unprincipled dealer

application, yet it is by no means rec

time a most invigorating tonic, or
