The Iris Parade.

The passing of the iris through the spring and summer months is like that of grand procession, the first glimpses of which may be had when, in sheltered, sunny places in February the delicate crested iris unguicularis (stylosa), fol- lowed by such gems as I. reticulata and l. sindjarensis, first appear. Then come the dainty alpines and pumilas in March, closely followed by the various dwarf forms in April and May, in constantly in creasing boldness of form and color, until June ushers in the great germanica fam fly, the bearded rises, with their broad masses of color> In quick succession come the tall sibir6as, and the still tall CT varieties of aurea, monnieri and gigan- tea, until, with great burst of splendor, comes iris kaempferi. the crowning glory of all, with its great blooms a foot in diameter, rising on tall stems to height of five feet-the royal family, arraved in righest blue. and purple, and gold, and the pageant comes to an end.
 But before the memory of it has faded away we are reminded again of the glory that has passed, and that which is to come, when, in November, the Crimean irises, yielding to the allurements of the mild Indian summer days, put forth their blooms here and there. as if too eager and impatient to await the coming of spring.

That Divinin g-Rod Mystery.

The enthusiasm with which men have
written to disprove. and discredit the
claims of those who relate successful eX
periences with the divining-rod, for the
finding of hidden underground springs
has served to create a rather unusual IN
terest in the subject. 1t is somewhat hike
shaking red rag at bull to raise the
subject again. before the heat OF recent
discussion has fairly cooled. but a new
theory and a new account of success have
come together from France, both OF which
are worth relating
That springs are actually found, and
with surprising frequency by men who
use the divining-rod is a fact that cannot
be disputed. But whether it is the rod or
the man that finds the spring is the open
question. The Frenchmen claim that the
man is the sensitive medium upon which
the unexplained influence works, while
the rod is but a means of expression
which shows the effect Both observers
and the workers with the rod state that
only those to whom the gift is given nat
urallv can hope to succeed with the divln-
ing of springs and claim that the crltl-
cism and ridicule that is turned upon
them is due to the fact of failures where
the gift is absent.-From Dlvinlng-R Rod

ALL DISTRESS FROM
STOMACH VANISHES
Indigestion and Dyspepsia Misery Ends
Five Minutes Later.

lake your sour stomach-or maybe
you call it Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Gas
tritis or Catarrh of Stomach; it doesn't
matter-take your stomach trouble right
with you to your Pharmacist and ask
him to open a 50-cent case of Pape's
Diapepsin and let you eat one 22-grain
Iriangule 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. become weak, there is
lack OF gastric juice; your food is only half
,dlgested, and you become affected with
loss OF appetite, pressure and fullness
after eating, vomiting, nausea, heartburn,
gripping in bowels, tenderness in the pit
OF stomach, bad taste in mouth, constipa-
ton, pain in limbs, sleeplessness, belch-
ing of gas, biliousness, sick headache, ner-
Ivousness, dizziness and many other SINH
lar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle, and nothing
ttempts you, or you belch gas or if you
feel bloated after eating, or your food
lies like lump of lead on your stomach
you can make mp your mind that at the
bottom 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 nothing really wrong. Stop
this fermentation and begin eating what
you want without fear Of discomfort or
misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t is merely matter of how soon
you take little Diapepsin.

NEWFANE.
Nelson Kimball Dies Suddenly at Du-
buque, Iowa.


| Nelson w. Kimball died suddenly at
O'Clock Thursday morning of apoplexy in
his S0th year. Born at Newfane, VT, in
1929 Mr. Kimball was directly descended
on his mothers side from Thomas Dudley
the second governor of Massachusetts, and
on his fathers side from Richard Kim
ball, who came to America in 1854. His
life did credit to his lineage He grew
to manhood on farm which had been a
family possession for more than a century
and a quarter. 1t was here that he
learned the rudiments of the live stock
commission business. which he conducted
so well in this city from 1860 to 1873. In
that year Mr.. Kimball was made secrc-
try-treasurer and general manager of the
Dubuque water works, a position which
he held for nearly 2S years. The past few
years he had lived life of retirement,
but took an active interest in all mat
tiers pertaining to public affairs.
In September of 1864 Mr.. Kimball mar
ried Harriet Plummer Taft. who died on
the It'll of last February. Mrs. Kimball's
rare energy, culture and vivacity of tenn
permanent endeared her to many who
find the pure influence and the splendid
qualities of her worthy life a guide and
an inspiration to nobler living. Nature en-
dowed Mr.. Kimball with a remarkable
physique, healthful throughout ana Nlgor-
Gus beyond that of nearly all of his as
sociates. Devoted to duty he was man
of simple tastes and sturdy virtues, with
clear. alert mind. Honest and upright in
all his dealings. "hs word was as good as
his bond" and his promises were faith
fully kept.
He enjoyed the endearing associations of
the family circle and cherished the ties
of kindred and of friends. Mr.. Kimball is
survived by his son, Elliot c. kimball.-

A Sure Remedy
for Horse Collie

Collie in horses is a very common dis
order. More valuable horses die every
year from collie than from any other com
plant, simply because they have not been
treated properly. Sloan's Sure Collie Cure
is safe and sure remedy for collie OF
tympanitis. It acts instantly on the
stomach and bowels and gives immediate
relief
Mr.. ]. Albert Pahlman, Pocomoke City,
Md. writes-'Iast November your Fever
Remedy saved my Percheron Stallion
Jumbo. He took sick on the cars the first
day out; and on May 3lst Sloan's Sure
Collie Cure saved a fine work mare, but it
took five hours to do it. 1t was very
bad case. | have used it on a great many
horses for others and it always brings the
results"
