to whom he was devotedly attached,
died in June OF 1907. from ptonaine
poisoning, and he felt the loss most
keenly and in fact had not been him

appendicitis about eight months ago
continued to bother him considerably
He worried great deal over his broth

with business cares are believed to
have discouraged him to such an ex-
tent that he determined to end 1t all
There was no intimation to the peo
pie In his office that he contemplated
suicide. He spoke Of the troubles in

the operation was sore, but none OF
his associates dreamed that he ever
thought OF taking himself away.

Mi-o-na cures dyspepsia. There
isn't particle of doubt about it; and
if any of the readers of the Times
Republican are suffering from stomach
trouble of any kind, Mcbride & Will
will sell you box of Mi-o-na for 30
cents with an absolute guarantee of
relief, or money back. In many cases
one box will effect permanent cure;
in chronic Conditions more is necessary.
But one thing is certain: one box of
Mi-o-na will make you feel so much
better and brighter, so much more en-
ergetic, that you will not give it up till
cured.
Mi-o-na is not digester. Digesters
never cured dyspepsia. and never will.
Mi-o-na is a stomach strengthened that
builds up the worn out, flabby inside OF
the stomach, and makes the stomach
strong enough to perfectly digest what
you eat.

Orders.

The Odd Fellows Of Iowa are in pos
session of the city today, and will be
with us most of the week. The sixty
first annual session of the grand lodge
proper does not begin until Wednesday
morning, but the twenty first annual
convention of the Rebekah assembly
started today. The grand encamp-
ment also held it's session today, and
will conclude it's work by evening.
It has been thirteen years, or since
October, 1895, since the Odd Fellows
Of the state and their allied orders
have met here.
The grand secretary's report that
year for the term ending June 80, 1895.
shows a membership of $1,000.
The present subordinate member
ship of this Jurisdiction. June 80, 1908,
is $685., a gain Of nearly 10000 in the
thirteen years an annual average gain
of nearly 1900
During the year ending June 80,
1908, nine subordinate and nineteen
Rebekah lodges have been instituted
and there has been a net gain in sub
ordinate membership of 1890, making
a total membership of $685..
Rebskahs Thirteen Years Ago.
The Rebekah assembly also visited
Marshalltown for the first and last time
in 1895. Past President p. Olive Bu-
len presided in this session and turned
in the nucleus fund, over $1,000, for the
Iowa Odd Fellows and Orphans Home.
This money was raised by wheels and
virtually brought into Iowa the home
as above named. 1t was here in Mar
shalltown that the first steps were TAX
en- by the grand lodge to decide upon
this matter. In her report Miss Math-
eney, the secretary, says:
Many changes have been brought
about in our work and that OF the
grand lodge since then-but our history
has been much like that written OF
other large organizations. We have had
our Joys and sorrows, success and
failures, but all the while we have
steadily forged forward. Perhaps our
gains were not always what we an
ticipated, but at no time have we failed
to make gain. With a membership
of 1889 in 1895, we can now show
membership of 1896. having not only
doubled our M nbership but almost
thribbled it.
$50 we return to Marshalltown after
thirteen years as proud as Miss with
a new bonnet hoping to greet and be
greeted by our old friends and some
sweet day return perhaps, and be able
to continue to prosper SO as to make
report equally as good"

THE BEET SUGAR CROP.

A recent number of Willet and
Gray's Sugar Trade Journal gives an
estimate of the beet sugar crop of the
present season. There are GO facto-
ries in the country, Michigan having
16, Colorado Is and California 9; the
other sugar beet states have from one
to five factories each. Colorado had
10000 acres in sugar beets last sum-
mer, with possible yield of $4,000
tons of sugar; Michigan, $4,000 acres
and $1,000 tons of sugar; California,
62,700 acres and 400 tons. The to-
tai acreage of the country is estimated
at 377 ,260, and the yield in sugar 44O,-
900 tones. There was a decrease in
acreage from last year of about Az
per cent. The American beet sugar
crop of 1867 was 433,O10 tons; of
19O5-O6 was 283,717 tons; of 19O4-O5
was 2O9,722 tons, and Of 10000 was
208,135 tons.

In the Red Apple Country.-C. A. Nc
Cullagh of Gordon q Company returned
last week from a trip to Wenatchee and
the apple country east OF the mountains
and reports everything looking good in
that territory He found a good sup
ply of extra fancy apples there, but re
marked that the proportion OF buyers IN
evidence was about seven for every APP
pie offered for SALE Eastern buyers
found earlier in the season that the
Washington apples were not forthcom-
ing at the prices they offered, and con-
Guided that the only way to get them
was to come out here and talk 1T over
with the growers. AS a result the grow
ers have come very near getting their
own prices for the crop and the best
apples have consequently gone east
Vegetable Crop Good.-Mr. Jackson at
A. d. Blowers & Company reports that
the cabbage, beets, onions and small
stuff which has been coming In THIS sea-
son is about the finest he has ever han
died. Prices have been fair, although
this line has run along with a normal
demand and steady prices all through.
Miller Produce Company reports the
poultry market as in good condition and
strong in the main. Ducks are scarce
and wanted at IA cents; geese are firm
at 49, cents; live chickens are in de-
mand at II and IS cents. The turkey
market, however, is hardly quotable,
there being an absence of demand;
dealers hold live turkeys at 20 and ~
cents with a prospect of lower prices.
The market will become settled before
holidays. Calves are scarce and the de-
mand is strong, good ones bringing ~
cents. Dressed hogs are quoted at
The North Coast Produce Company
report small springs as very scarce.
They could use so or 60 dozen a week;
ducks are likewise scarce, and they
could handle 1000 or 1900 lbs. weekly:
Turkeys are plentiful, with prospects of
lower prices Could use some that are
choice and fat, also nice dry-pickled
hams Fancy veals are scarce, while
commons bring a good price; potatoes
are moving in good shape and apples
are in good demand
Manager Turner of the Mil1er-Reed-
Pease Company reports a very firm mar
ket with an upward tendency; eggs
seem to have reached the top of high
market and the local butter supply is
short, while storage eastern stock is
plentiful. The dry weather has affected
the supply of fresh butter.

THE BOY ON THE FARM.

The boy on the farm who is big and
old enough to begin thinking about
what he is going to do for life's work
will be greatly Influenced in this de-
cision by his natural impulses or in
clinations. If he is physically lazy
and fond of nice clothes, the chances
are that he will soon be found behind
the counter of a dry-goods store II,
however, he is a real, manly boy, with
snap and go in him, who loves the free
and open life of the farm, and especial
ly if he has a natural fondness for
animals, then he is we'll worth the at
tention of his parents, who should talk
between themselves so as to direct
his work and studies. If he shows
any special leaning toward dairy work,
then offer him some special induce
ments to take up that branch of farm
work.
