had a fine chicken dinner at my Sis
ter's who lives in a summer cottage
close to Linwood. Loaded up with
fresh country produce and lots Of
canned goods which were all donated
to US. Left Linwood at 2: 80 p. m, ar
rived at Montpelier, Iowa, at sos T.
M, where we visited the village gro
Gerry store and tried to buy him out,
but he refused to sell. 1t is still rain
ing and looks as If it was good for all
night; stiff breeze blowing. Passed
several flocks of geese during the day,
but they keep out of range of our
gun.
Oct. 23-Left Montpelier at z a. m;
floated for two hours and had to tie
UP on account of the stiff cross wind
which blew US ashore. We stopped
on the island where I went on little
hunting trip with the old trapper, but
had no success. By the way, this old
trapper has a houseboat Of his own
and is staying with US for company's
sake. Wind slackened up little bit
about $3.50 p. m, so we got started

4 a. m and arrived at Muscatine
Iowa, at 1920 a. m. We had to tie
up for the rest of the day, 1t being too
windy to travel. Mr.. Jensen and /

1t is somewhat windy yet.

but when we did we foated till D.

We had fish for four days. 1t is now
$3.50 p. m; going to bed.
Oct. 27.-Got started at D. IN.
Made slow Roadway against a stiff
wind. Had a narrow escape from
going on wing dam in the afternoon.
While the trapper wasn't quite 90
lucky. he struck the dam and had %
have a launch pull him of. It was a
very hard row for all or us and we
were exhausted when we finally made
the shore.
Oct. 28.-Left at a. m and about
10 a. m. we reached the town Of
OquawIa. Ill, where we got off and
got some stores and three bushels Of
COAL We got in Burlington, Iowa,
about D. m, where we expect to stay
for the night, this being mail station
for US. Made a fine big kettle of soup
for dinner. my first attempt at dump
lings, and Mr.. Jensen made the soup;
we had plenty of soup for supper.
After supper we went up town and
took in the Garrick theater.
Oct. 31.-Lay near Burlington near

noon and took in a nickel show. Came
out and it was raining; started for the
boat and got good and soaking wet.
Changed clothes and pulled right out.
1t was D. m and we f1oated in the
rain and fog. Tried to make a 1and-
ing at 6 p. m. but ran on sand bars
and had to pull out again and closely
shaved a wing dam before we got out
in the stream. 1t was so dark that
you could not see your hand before
your face, but we saw the guide
lights so we followed to that close as
we could IN the dark and made land
ing on some rocks on the shore. close
to the light at z p. m. A bad wind
came up at II p. N. so we had to get
put and chop down some young trees
and put under our boat to keep from
pounding holes in the hull Well, we
went back to bed and slept peacefully

Ed went hunting and shot a rabbit

guess that is what gives us such an
appetite. Well, It is now z p. m. and
guess we will retire for the night
for we are very tired. Early to bed
and early to rise is our motto. We
are in hopes to get the wind In our
favor some time this month and we
will do better. If we don't travel any
faster than we have been We might
get frozen in.

How to Make Better
Cough Syrup Than You
Can Buy.

A full pint of cough syrup
enough to last a family a long
time-can be made by the rec
ipe given below in five minutes,
for only g. cents. Simple as 1t
is, there is nothing better at
any price. 1t usually stops a
deep-seated cough In "a hours
and is a splendid household
remedy for whooping cough,
colds, hoarseness, bronchitis,
etc.
Take a pint of graduated
sugar, add one-half pint warm
water and stir about two min
utes. Put 21s ounces Pinex
in a pint bottle and fill up with
syrup. Take a teaspoonful ev-
cry one, two or three hours.
1t keeps perfectly and the taste
is pleasing.
The chemical elements of
pine which are very healing to
membranes, are obtained In
high proportion in Pinex. the
most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white
pine extract. None of the
weaker pine preparations will
work with this recipe. Your
druggist has Pinex or can cas-
lily get it for you.
Strained honey can be used
instead of the syrup. and makes
a very fine honey and pine tar
cough syrup.

Beware of Ointments for Ca
tarfh that Contains Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely de-
range the whole system when en-
tering it through the mucous sur
faces. Such articles should never
be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the
danger they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive
from them. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheneys &
Co., Toledo, o., contains no mer-
curry and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. In
buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure
you get the genuine. 1t is taken
internally and made in Toledo Ohio

Idaho Letter.
Boise, Idaoh,

April 18th. '09.
Mr.. Witt
/ have often thought of writing
you from our far western home
just to let you know how much we
appreciate the Republican-it il as
| good as a letter from home, so
Monday iu a blue day with us if
we do not receive our paper.
We are very much pleased with
the country here and the climate
10 all one could wish. We had no
cold weather; u coldeBt was s
degrees above zero. We had a
good bit of snow but it only lay
a very short while. The winter
here is of short duration, commenc
ing the fret of the year and con-
tinuing through February, during
that time we have much rain, driz-
zles we call them remembering the
downpourS of Missouri. With the
first of March comes the bright
sunny days that make Idaho fa-
nous, no more rain, no storms, no
lightning or thunder, no wind.
When water il needed it is gotten
from the bitches that cross the
country.
We we're sorry to see that Mr..
Crockett had returned. We think
he went to the wrong place-had
he come to Idaho to some of these
sheltered fertile, valleys, We are
sure like us he he would be. here
yet.
Everything in the grain line
grows here to perfection except
corn we must admit we miss the
cornfield. Fruit 10 almost perfect.
We r a fair rival for California
in almout everything. Fruit is
all sprayed here so is comparative
ly free from wormy knotty speci-
mems. We were pleased with a vi
sit from Stanley Dean formerly
from Saline county a short time
since. He is we'll pleased with his
prospects ana says he will en-
large his holdings here as he can.
He is located in the famous Payette
Valley, where the best fruit ana
finest vegetables are raised. Boise
is in the Boise Valley and is quiet
ana protected by the mountains
that 10 why it is never cold. 1t is
a prosperous up-to-iate town of
$4,000 inhabitant1 and building and
growing rapidly. 1t 10 well sup
piled with good schools and fine
churches, also some very nice pub
lie buildings. l only mention one,
a Carnegie Library which furnishes
free reading for any who care for
it.
Well, Mr.. Witt, I must not weary
you with this long letter so will
close; please send the Republican
az before, find enclosed $1.OO for
coming year. Your friend
W. E, Bauer.

Was Not Benefited.

The many friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mike Jacoby, Jr., will be
grieved to learn that their trip to
Texas has been in vain. They spent
severa | months in Texas and
Oklahoma without any improve
ment in Mrs. Jacoby's health and
as she was gradually growing weak
err they decided to return to Mar
shall. They arrived home Friday.
We still hope Mrs. Jacoby will re-
gain her health.

Distress From
Upset Stomach,
Also Misery from Indigestion
Vanishes Five Minutes
Later.

Take your sour stomach-or may
be you call it Indigestion, Dyspep-
STA, Gastritis or Catarrh of Stom-
ache it doesn't matter-take your
stomach trouble right with you to
your Pharmacist and ask him to
open a 5O-cent case of Pape's Dia-
pepsin and let you eat one 22-grain
Triangule and see If within five
minutes there is left any trace of
your stomach misery.
The correct name for your
trouble is Food Fermentation-food
souring /; the Digestive organs be-
come weak, there is lack of gastric
Juice /; your food is only half digest
ed, and you become affected with
loss of appetite, pressure and full
ness after eating, vomiting, nausea
heartburn, gripping in bowels, ten
derness in the pit of stomach, bad
taste in mouth, constipation, pain
in limbs, sleepnessness, belching of
gas, biliousness, sick headache, ner-
vousness, dizziness and other SINH
lar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle, and no.
thing temps you, or you beich gas
ct if you feel bloated after eating,
or your food lies like a lump of
lead on your stomach, you can
make UP your mind that at the
potion of all this there is but one
cause-fermentation of undigested
food.
Prove to yourself, after your
next meal, that your stomach is
as good as any that there is moth
ing really wrong. Stop this fer
mentation and begin eating what
you want without fear of discom-
fort or misery.
Almost instant reliel is waiting
for you. 1t is merely a matter OF
how soon you take a little Diapep-
sin.
