orranizing to Bore for OIL.

The citizens of Colfax have been
taking steps for the past week,
looking, toward the development
of this region in the matter OF OIL
natural gas and minerals. 1t has
been q recognized fact for several
wears that the indications OF oil In
this locality are much stronger
than in many other places in Lou
;siana who're successful borings
have been made, and a big boom
raised over the outlook.
In the face Of the sensations that
have been developed in other quar-
tiers, where the prospects have not
appeared one half SO good, it is al
most incredible that Colfax should
have been neglected 50 long. How
ever, the prospect now is good fol
this neglect to be remedied, and
we trust that great success ano
profit will result from the effort.
Mr.. II. E. Mcknight, acting OF
behalf of the Oscar Shanks Oil Co.
has during the past week secured
leases on several thousand acres
OF land in the vicinity where OIL
indications are most evident II
this region. In the leases glvel
the stipulation is made that aetly'
operations shall begin within tn
current year, and we confdentl.
look for material progress to b.
made in short while.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY.
New Drug, Poslam, Now obtainable
in Small Quantities.


New Drug, Poslam, Now obtainable
in Small Quantities.
Since its discovery one year ago, the
new drug, Poslam, has successfully
cured thousands Of chronic cases of
eczema and other distressing skin af-
flictions. Heretofore poslam has been
dispensed solely for the benefit OF ecze-
ma patients in large jars sufficient for
a months treatment. This was found
to be an Inconvenience to many thous-
ands who use it for minor skin trou-
bles. such as pimples, blackheads,
herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion
blemishes. itching feet, piles, ETC.,
which require but small quantity to
cure. To overcome this, and in re-
Spouse to urgent appeals. the dispens-
ers Of poslam have been obliged to
adopt, in addition to the regular two
dollar package, a special tlfty-cent SIZE
which in future may be found on sale
at the Mcbride & Will Drug Co.'s and
other leading drug stores in Marshall
town, or may be ordered direct from
the Emergency Laboratories, No. 80
West 25th street, New York City. In
all eczema cases poslam stops itching
with first application, and proceeds to
heal Immediately; chronic cases being
cured In two weeks. In less serious
skin troubles, results are seen after
an overnight application.
Samples for experimental purposes
may still be had, free Of charge. by
writing to the laboratories for them.

DIDN'T KNOW.

That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble.
So common is the use of coffee as a
beverage, many do not know that 1T Is
the cause Of many obscure ails which
are often attributed to other things.
The easiest way to find out for ones
self is to quit the coffee for a while, at
least, and note results. A Virginia lady
found out in this way, and also learned
of new beverage that is wholesome
as well as pleasant to drink. She
writes:
81 am 40 years old and all my life, up
to year and a half ago, had been u
coffee drinker. About ten years ago,
I had dyspepsia so bad that often the
coffee drank would sour on my stom-
ach and I could not retain it.
Severe headaches and heart weak
ness made me feel sometimes as tho
1 were about to die. After drinking
cup or two Of hot coffee, not knowing
it was harmful, my heart would go like
a clock without a pendulum. At other
times it would almost stop and l was

soon as I was out of sight of the house
I'd feel as if I was sinking and this
would brighten me terribly. My limbs
would utterly. refuse to support me,
and the pity of it all was, l did know
that coffee was causing the trouble.

Suit For $4,000 Damages
Against Leech and Michaels
on Trial
RESULT OF AUTO AccID
Oscar Rosensren, Who Was Run
Down at Corner of Main and Ninth
Street Almost Two Years Ago, by F.
F. Michaols, Suing for Damages for
Injuries Received.

The suit FOR $1,000 personal injuries,
brought by Oscar Rosengren against
w. L. Leech, of this city and F. f.
Michaels, now of Ackley, which was
the outcome Of the accident at the
corner Of Main and Ninth streets on
the night Of July 81, 1906, when
Rosengren was very seriously injured
by an automobile driven by Michaels,
was begun in the district court this
morning. w. L. Leech Is made defend
ant in the case because he was part
owner Of The machine Michaels was
driving.
Up to noon, when court adjourned
for lunch, fifteen jurors had been ex-
amined. and it was not thought that
jury would be secured before the
middle Of the afternoon.
Alleges Carelessness.
The basis Of Rosengren's claim for
damages, s.s set out in the petition,
which was filed some time ago, Is that
Michaels was operating the automo-
bile carelessly and negligently; that
he was running it at an excessive
speed; and that he did not have the
machine under control.
Rosengren was riding east on Main
while the auto was going west. The
accident occurred at a point near the
junction of Main and Ninth streets.
Rosengren's leg was badly fractured,
and he was otherwise seriously in
jured. For months he was under ply
sician's care. 1t is claimed that he was
permanently injured.
Says Rosengren Was Careless.
The defendants answer to the pc
tition denies In general the allegations
which charge carelessness and neglt-
gence in the operation of the automo-
bile. It says the accident was due
to Rosengren's carelessness, and con-
tends that he was riding wheel that
was provided with neither light nor
bell. The claim Is made that Michaels
did not see Rosengren until it was too
late to stop the automobile, altho it
was running slowly and not faster
than four or five miles an hour. 1t
also says that Michaels sounded his
horn as he approached Ninth street.

hours, and the South Second stree.

by a freight train wreck on that line
at $50 O'Clock this morning. The dam
age done, aside from the delay to traf-

was slight ~
A car in No. 81, east bound, "a fast
meat and live stock train in charge of
Conductor Jones, of Des Moines. left
the track a short distance west Of
Second street. A defective frog or
flange is thought to have made the
wheel leave the track. The first car de-
rallied dragged five others off the track
with It, The engine passed the spot
safely.
The trucks of the derailed cars tore
into the ground, and the car that
blocked the roadway ON South Second
street buried its wheels and trucks in
the ballast almost up to the frame.
This car almost turned on its side and
was somewhat damaged, but the other
five were not broken. The train was
running about fifteen miles an hour
when it left the track.
A wrecker was expected from Hud-
son at about o'clock, and 1t was
thought the track could be cleared in
FIVE hours after it arrived.
