Notice TO Horse Breeders.

During the season 1908 the we'll
known Belgian stallion Manrisse, No.
20, 500, will be kept as heretofore at
9. o. Maltby's barn. formerly Connor
Bros. feed barn, DEBORAH. This fine
stallion has many qualities that ap-
peal to the Judgment of lovers of good
horses. His massive proportions. his
smooth finish. his soundness of limb,
his agility of movement, his proud,
firm stand, and his kind. docile dis
position, proclaim him to be of per-
feet conformity to the ideal Belgian
type. He proves the lineage of his
ancestry by transmitting to his pro-
geny the qualities he so richly in
herits. The many colts, throughout
the county on the farms of many of
our most progressive farmers. sired
by him-the smooth, sound, mellow,
thrifty kind. prize winners in every
way-attest to the claims we make
concerning them. 1876

DOCTOR USES D. D. D. in HIS PRACTICE.
Eminent Physician Says This Great Liquid
Prescription is Certain Cure for
Eczema.

Still another eczema specialist comes
forward in enthusiastic praise of ID.
d. ID. Prescription, the wonderful
external remedy which cures eczema
and other similar diseases like magic.
He is DR.. c. b. Holmes of Silver
City, Miss, and in summing up his
impressions of the startling cures ID.
d. ID. has effected. he says:
II have been using your ID. ID. d.
for four years with gratifying results.
IT'S as Lear specific for herpes,
eczema. psoriasis, ETC., as is quinine
for malaria"
DR.. Holmes is one of hundreds of
physicians who use ID. ID. ID. in their
daily practice. The d. ID. ID. COM
pany allows physicians to use this
remedy with the understanding that
they tell their patients what it was
that cured them when the terrible itch
has been wiped out, the skin healed
and the raw wound covered over with
soft white skin. ID. ID. ID. is not a
nasty paste to smear the skin and
clothing, but it is clear liquid.
1t is advisable to use ID. d. d. soap
in connection with ID. d. ID. Pre-
scription.
Is any further proof of the cura-
tire powers of d. ID. d. Prescription
necessary? That remedy is sold at
Brunt & Parman, DEBORAH, Iowa.
Come in and let us show you con-
vincing proof that d. d. ID. will cure
your skin disease. Even il you have
not decided to use ID. ID. ID. remedy.

Shooting Scrape in High Life.

Eldora has had a shooting scrape
in high life. The parties ale Mr..
Nuckolls, a jeweiryman. and one Dr.
H. w. ENEMY, an osteopath physician
who has fiourished in Eldora for the,
past two or three years, and cut an
exceedingly wide swath in the first
circles of society in that city. Mr..
Nuckolls' home was under quarantine
ON account of the children having
mumps, and he had been sleeping at
his store. On the night that the
shooting took place he went to his
home at late hour to look after the
family and about midnight DR.. ENEMY
knocked at the door. If he was sur
prised when Nuckolls opened the door
he managed to conceal the fact and
told Mr.. Nuckolls that he had some
choice wine at his Office and invited
him to go down and sample it. Nue.
kolls complied and after spending an
hour or so at the doctors Office. re-
marked that he would return to the
store and go to bed. However, upon
going to his store he armed himself
with a revolver and returned to his
residence. and about two o'clock DR..
ENEMY came a second time and
knocked. This time when the door
was opened he made no excuse, but
turned and ran. Nuckolls emptied
his revolver at him, but he kept on
, running and not until morning did il
transpire that one bullet had taken
effect by going clear through the doc
tors chest, narrowly missing lung.
At last accounts he was in the hospi.
tai in fair way to recovery and the
general verdict of the male popula-
ton OF Eldora is that he was served
just right. DR.. ENEMY has no family.
and if he had been killed it would
have been justice promptly executed.

While thus in every State the Anti

termined to stop indiscriminate inter
state traffic in liquor. At present
liquor packages are sent through the
express Offices to thousands of COM

fictitious names and kept in storage in
the delivery Offices. They are called

Woman Suffrage Agitation.
While the men Of the United States
have won the reputation Of playing the
cavalier to women in social life, Amer
lea has meved at much slower pace in
according civil recognition than has
been done in some Of the countries
across the sea. In England, where the
husband has from time immemorlal
been the lord Of the household, women
may vote upon the same terms as men
at all elections except those for mem
bers of Parliament; and the sentiment
for complete suffrage Is strong and I'M
mistakable.
Women vote for all officers except
members OF Parliament In Scotland, Ire
land and Wales; for the women of
England have had municipal suffrage
since 1860, the women of Scotland since
1881. aud in Ireland since 1898.
That little patch Of insular territory

Expedition Starts to the Strange
Country south OF Panama Zone.
a party Of five men, headed by DR..
Frank Won Teuber, formerly official
photographer Of the Panama Canal
Commission, sailed Saturday on the
steamer La Plata to explore the almost
impossible country which lies to the
south Of the canal zone and extends to
the Colombian border, says the New
York Times. The main object of the
exploration Is to locate coal and min.
eral deposits. Incidentally, the War
Department has taken a great interest
In the object Of the expedition and it
desires to obtain accurate maps Of the
district
The men are backed by private cap
ital. DR.. Won Teuber. who has already
penetrated lao miles into the 2OS-mile
strip Of country, declares that he has
not only seen rich deposits Of coal, but
that the Argona tribes, which inhablt
the country, use hard coal as ballast
for their boats. DIR. Won Teuber lost
all the specimens he collected. they hav-
Ing been captured by the Indians.
Those who will brave the dangers Of
the trip are, besides the doctor, Carl
Won Teuber, his brother; William j.
Bartlett Of Boston, Denton A. Smith
of Madison, Wis, and John r. Bradley,
Jr., of Boston.
1--WE are working under ninety
nine-year concession from the Panama
government" said DIR. Won Teuber. "As
soon as we arrive on the isthmus we
will go to see President Amador, and
two days later will make the start up
the Diablo River. I cannot tell how
long we will be gone, but If nothing is
relief expedition will be sent out to
look for u.s.
The expedition took down a great
quantity Of stores and each man IS
provided with a complete camping out
fit, including German carbines. There
are also 100000 rounds Of ammunition.
They expect to keep near the San Bias
coast and when we'll down toward the
center Of the strip work their way over
to New Bay, on the Pacific side. All
geological and other specimens found
will be sent to the Smithsonian Insti
tuition.
The natives, according to DR.. Won
Teuber, are rather childish and curious
but they are exceedingly treacherous
and will only attack at night He
also declared that Colombia, recognize
ing their value IN keeping her frontier,
was permitting them to arm.
DR.. Won Teuber will take a number
of friendly Indians with him as guides.
He declared that his experience there
had proved to him beyond the shadow
of doubt that small diamonds and en-
eralds can be found In the country.
OF the last expedition Of eighteen
persons which went into the district
only about one-half survived to struggle
back to civilization. The enemy the
explorers had to fight in addition to the
Indians was malarlal fever.
