A young fellow who gave his name as
Orval G.. Brock and his age as twenty
four years, was brought to town Satur-
day from Probe and arranged before
Justice Trent on the charge of attempt
ed train wrecking. He waived examin-
alton and is now in Jail. He gave a
written confession saying he went out
of Osceola on Wednesday night walking
north and on the hill north of Jamison
he placed a railroad spike between
the ends of two rails, and farther on
north of Jamison he drove piece of
plank in similar joint. He gave no
other reason than that he was "lone-
some" and wanted to see what would
happen. He will be indicted and prob
ably be sentenced the last of the week.
The fellow appears to be densely
ignorant and hardly responsible for his
acts.-Osceola Sentinel.

WHY so WEAK?
Kidney Troubles May be Sdpplng
Your Life Away. Leon People
Have Learned This Fact.

When healthy man or woman begins
to run down without apparent cause, be-
comes weak, languid, depre ssed,
suffers backache, headache, dizzy spells
and urinary disorders, look at the kid
neys for the cause Of it all. Keep the
kidneys we'll and they will keep you
we'll. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys and keep them we'll.
Mrs. Volk Norris, Mt. Ayr, Ia, says:
"When l gave a public statement
recommending Doan's Kidney Pills in
the fall of 1902 did SO as they acted up
to the claims made for them in my case.
At that time and for months previous,
was suffering great deal with severe
pains across the small of my back and
weakness of the kidneys. Whenever /
did any heavy work that caused a
strain across the muscles of my back,
the suffering became most intense. We
read about Doan's Kidney Pills aud Mr..
Norris got a box and had taken them
but a short time before l noticed very
beneficial results. / continued their
use taking the second box, and can
say that they did me great amount OF
good. Another member of our family
used Doan's Kidney Pills receiving the
same prompt and effective relief. l
have always held very high opinion
of them and whenever I hear anyone
complaining of backache or a weakened
condition of the kidneys, always adj
wise them to try Doan's Kidney Pills.

Do 1t Now.

1t is time that we were beginning to
think about the seed that we are to use
this spring, and especially that of our
seed corn and seed oats. 1t is question
able it there ever was a time in the
history of the State when the testing of
each individual ear of corn that is used
for seed will mean 80 much to the Iowa
farmers as it will this season. 1t only
takes twelve to fourteen ears of corn
for the planting of an acre, so there can
be no good excuse for it being neglect
ed. 1t would mean millions of bushels
of corn to the State of Iowa if every
one Of her farmers we're careful to test
each individual ear of corn for germin-
ating power, that he might discard the
weak and worthless seed which other
wise will be used. The undersigned
will gladly send full particulars in the
termination of seed corn.
The Seed Dat proposition is likely to
be serious one. So much of this
years crop weighing all the way from
fifteen to twenty-five pounds to the
bushel. Large crops cannot be expect
ed from weak seed. Let us see to it
that our oats are thoroughly famed SO
that nothing but the largest, plumpest
grains are kept for seed purposes. In
some localities it will be found that
after tanning there will be practicable
none left for seed This should be
found out in time that other seed may
be secured. Now is the time when
these matters should be given special
attention, for soon the spring work
will come on and then we are liable to
feel that we do not have the time.

means Of getting an egg with n
broken shelf into bottle Of, say, t4t
ordinary kind, used for ginger ale
All you have to do IS to soak boiled
egg in vinegar for three days. The
shell becomes SO soft that It can easily
be forced through the narrow aperture
Of the bottle. And once It is inside II
1t Is soaked in water for little while
the eggshell resumes It's original bard
ness-and there yo0 are!

Good Advice.

Go on in all simplicity. Do not he
20 anxious to win a quiet mind, and
It will be all the quieter. Do not ex-
anime 70 closely into The progress Of
your own soul. Do not crave SO much
to be perfect, but let your spiritual
life be formed by your duties and by
the actions which are called forth by
circumstances.-Fran de Sales.
