engineers and platelayers one recent
Sunday gave a remarkable display of
rapid bridge-building, according to an
English newspaper. A bridge outside
Harringay station over the Midland
railways line had to be widened, and
two enormous Orders were construct
ed. During the week supports for the
Orders were built under the old
bridge, and as soon as the heavy traf-
flc of the Saturday. night had been
dealt with gangs of men, working in
relays, pulled up the rails, demolished
the old bridge. and carted the debris
away. BY eight p. m. both Orders
had been hoisted into position, and at
midnight the permanent way was in
order again.

PLAIN TRUTH.
From Thirty Years Experience.

From Thirty Years Experience.
The plain truth from simple, honest
folks, is the very best testimony any
one can ask. Here's what a N. II. man
says about coffee:
"As I have had 80 years experience
with coffee and its effects, l may be
permitted to say something pertinent
to the subject.
my appetite began to fail, food dis
turbed my stomach. bowels became
badly oonstipated, was restless, sleep
so greatly disturbed 1 dreaded to go
to bed.
my stomach got so bad I could not

,racker. In the evening ] would be so
hirsty nothing would satisfy me but
] cup of strong, cold coffee.
Coffee was my invariable drink for
breakfast, with doughnut or piece of
cast. was all the time consulting the
loctor, taking digestive preparations
o help the stomach, and cathartics to
move the bowels, frequently having at
acks Of terrible pain in the bowels
shich would necessitate calling the
loctor.
after many years Of this, became
convinced that something must be
lone.
cat last I got hold of Postum and
cyan using it in place of coffee and
ave continued to use it daily for the
,ast years. The Improvement was
,radual but sure. For the system re-
luires time to recover from the dam

,enef1ts of Postum.
Improvement has continued from
he very first, to the present. Diges-
ion grew better, bowels became regu-
ar, and at time I now anticipate
i good nights sleep with pleasure.
The change from coffee to Pos
UNI was made wonderful change in
ny condition. It could not be expected
hat man 81, with a 2 years and 10
months service in the army, could be

believe I state the plain truth when

Another institution is the public

self the equal chance OF development.
| The public school should help the ris-
ing generation mentally. physically and
morally. Much of our country's great
ness depends on the efficiency and
character of this institution.
Another great factor in our national
greatness Is the church, which is or

grading. These -four institutions, the

midst; how 1t worked and destroyed
the best interests of the other institu-
lions by its degrading and debauchine
effects; how it brought in as aces

An earnest appeal was made to vote
out the saloon, or get it out by petition

Preferred Claim Against Bank.

On the order of Judge j. NJ. Parker,
made in the district court Saturday at
ternoon, the bank building and prop
erty of the Green Mountain Savings
bank was ordered sold. The order to
sell was granted on the showing made
m the petition of the receiver, A. A.
Moore, who requested that he be au-
horized to dispose of the property.
The property consists of the bank
building and all it's fixtures, the lot

3. Classen and Leroy Thompson, who
were appointed by the court to APP
praise the property, have set value
IT $500 on it. 1t is MIR. Moore's plan
20 sell the property at public auction.
The contention is made In Mr.. Moore's
application for authority to sell that
there is not sufficient assets to pay
the obligations of the bank without
the sale of the property.
Johnsons Bond Reduced.
The bond for the appearance OF
asher Donald A. Johnson in the dis
.ict court. was reduced Saturday at
ernoon by Judge Parker from $4,000
$4,000. The court originally fixed
1000 as the bond on each Of the four
ldictments returned against johnson.
n the reduction this amount was cut
lown to $500 in each Of the charges
# receiving deposits for an insolvent
oank, and for knowingly making false
entries in the banks books. This re-
iuction of the bond brings 1t to the
same amount of the bond that was Sc
.ured for Johnson when he was held
o the grand jury, and on which he
vas released. 1t is expected that new
oond for Johnson will be secured.
Preferred Claim Filed.
James A. Basiger, of Larned, Kas..
Saturday afternoon filed preferred
claim in the district court against the
bank. BY it he seeks to secure SOL
from the receiver The petitioner
claims that the bank is indebted to
him by having collected that amount
from D. +. Yetley, of near Green
Mountain. Basiger, so the petition says,
held a note against Yetley, which he
forwarded to the Green Mountain
bank for collection. Yetley paid the
note ten days BEFORE the bank was
closed, but the money was not for
warded to Basiger.

Members Of Senior Glass Resent
Miss Hathaway's Effort to
Cast Production
MAY RESULT IN NO PLAY
Teachers Are Not laundering After Elk
ira Work of Putting on Annual Fea-
ture, and Unless Different Spirit is
Shown Probabilities Are There Will
Be No Play.

Because some person or persons got
SASSY" with a teacher there is some
question whether or not the seniors
of the Marshalltown high school Will
appear in an annual class play THIS
year. A postal card, sent to MISS
Esse Hathaway, who has charge OF
the class play arrangements, intimated
that the teacher had shown favorit-
ism in selecting the cast, and as a
result Miss Hathaway does not like
the spirit manifested in the anonymous
communication.
The class play selected for this year
is The Cabinet Minister" 1t provides
for seventeen characters, and these
seventeen must be chosen from SEN
Tor class Of forty seven members. Some
OF the thirty who were not cast Tor
parts they believed they were just as
capable of appearing before the public
as some of their brother and sister
members, and someone has taken the
liberty to criticize Miss Hathaway, who
cast the piece.
The author or authors of the postal
card are unknown. 1t was addressed
to Miss Hathaway. and stated, in eff
feet, that 'the same favoritism APP
parent in the selection of casts for
preceding class plays had been made
in choosing the cast for this year"
Miss Hathaway and the other teach
ers upon whom the hard work of drill
ing the pupils falls, are wroth at such
sentiments being expressed. They
point to the fact that class plays are
not in the high school curriculum, and
they are not duty bound to go to the
extra work and trouble of preparing
the cast for the production. Miss
Hathaway made the selection OF cast
according to the personnel Of the class
she considered best adapted to the
different parts. 1t would be impossible
to give forty-seven people seventeen
parts.
1t is stated by the teachers that
unless a different spirit is manifested
in the class, and a disposition shown
to have the best of feelings prevail
over the matter Of the class play, 1t
is likely that the play will not be
given this year.
