WANTED TRANSFERS.

Coal Dealers swampsd With Orders on
Account Of Continued Cold Weather.
Not anticipating that winter would
linger in the lap OF spring until the
good old summer time, was DUE. peo-
pie generally allowed their fuel sup
ply to run low and the cold snap nat
urally caught them short.
AS a result nearly everybody wanted
coal. They wanted but little, as rule
but wanted that little right away
Hence the fuel dealers of the city have
been hopelessly swamped with orders
during the past few days
Fortunately there was no shortage OF
either coal or wood, but there was a
decided scarcity of teams and men and
a demand that could not be met. AS
high as S. per day for man and team

be had for love or money, at least not
dn sufficient numbers.

ATTENDANCE is GOOD.
Sixteen Hundred in Attendance a
Last Weeks Outside Meetings.

oIHteen hundred IN Attendance at
Last Weeks Outside Meetings.
The attendance at the meetings, out
side Of the tabernacle during last week,
which include the district prayer meet
ings in the homes, and the meetings
at the shops and factories, totaled L.
500, and the interest, as evidenced by
the attendance, is most gratifying to
those who are working for the sue
cess of the Sunday revival There
were more than 100 Of these meetings
held during the week.
Mr.. Frank, Mr.. Sundays assistant,
addressed the meeting at the Central
Business college Monday. Mr.. Frank
said that our present education is the
outgrowth of the conception of three
great races. First, the Greek conception
was learning simply for learnings
sake, or seeking truth for truths sake.
The Greek scholar, therefore, was the
philosopher pure and simple. Second,
the Roman conception was the seeking
Of truth and learning that 1T might be
applied to the making Of laws, and
the result was the Roman ruler. Third,
1.-The Hebrew conception was that high
scholarship amounted to nothing un-
less it made a person a better man or
woman. Therefore the Hebrew scholar
was either a prophet or saint. In the
ideal education of today none of the
three is complete in itself. We have
combined the three and added some
thing more. The demand is for an edu-
cation we can use, and so the ALL
around balanced man must be de-
veloped, physically, mentally and NOR
ally. The man who wins today is the
man who has properly combined the
three, and who can think in a straight
line and clearly express his thoughts
in good old Anglo-Saxon.

swer have been fled. A cross petition
will be filed, asking the privilege OF

The mayor replied that Jones 4
Hovey could not furnish any more ell
ectric power, as their facilities were
taxed to their utmost at the present
time. Master Mechanic Gossett, of tho
Iowa Central. said the mayor" came
to mo the other day and said that he
had been trying to get Jones & Hovsy
to furnish him electricity to run new

could get no satisfaction out OF the

Company has been trying for year or

Sunshine Prescription.

A Woman In Maine Calls Mi-o-na tho
Sunshine Prescription.
There never was such a marvellous
prescription for stomach distress and
indigestion as Mi-o-na.
NO doctor ever wrote better one;
it's doubtful If any doctor ever will.
It's so good that Mcbride & VIII say
money back If 1t doesn't cure.
A woman in Maine calls Mi-o-na the
sunshine prescription because she has
seen so many sour, miserable aggra-
waiting dyspeptlcs turned into happy.
cheerful, sweet human beings in a few
days by taking Mi-o-na.
The stomach Is responsible for three
fourths of the nervousness and half
the misery in the world. 4 woman can
have first -cxsSs stomach and yet be
miserable II she has husband who
is a nervous dyspeptic.
But why not change pain to pleas
