Measures of the Government
to Appease the Appe-
titles for Farms.
A Wonderful Exhibit by the Depart
ments of the Interior and Aericul-
ture at the United States Land and
Irrigation Exposition at Chicago
from Nov. goth to Dec. 9TH.

A debt of gratitude and vote of
thanks will be due the Chicago Trib-
une from the American people when
the United States Land and Irrigation
Exposition is over. The inception Of
this great undertaking was entirely
due to the Tribune. The idea orig
mated with the Tribune, and the en-
tire responsibility, financial and other.
wise, was assumed by the Tribune.
So timely did this enterprise seem
to be that all the great irrigation and
other land interests were quickly won
and promised their participation and
support The United States govern
ment has thought so well of the Trib-
une's idea that it will be the largest
exhibitor.
All the exhibits of the exposition
will deal with the idea of establish
ing American homes upon small farms.
All the features of this unique and
wonderful show will be pivoted around
the idea that the best place for an
American family is in a home of it's
own, and that home a tract of land
large enough to maintain the family III
any emergency. With our better
knowledge of plants and soils and cul-
tural practices a few acres have an as
tonishing capacity for production.
Valuable instruction along these lines
will be found by the visitor at the
coming exposition. Nov. 20 to Dec. 4.
! at Chicago's great Coliseum.
Besides the features specially pre-.
pared and brought from Washing
ton, the best features of the govern
ments exhibit at Seattle will be in.
stalled at Chicago. The reclamation
service, the geological survey, the
land office, the forestry service, the
patent office, the bureau of animal in
dustry, the bureau of plant industry,
the weather bureau, the Office of cx
pertinent stations and the bureau of
entomology will all participate i'll a
manner worthy of the government of
eighty million people.
The value of the government ex.
hibits to the visitor will lie in the fact
that they are new and represent the
latest thought and development in the
various lines which they represent
All will relate to irrigation, drainage
dry farming and to the industries OF
the farm, especially of the new farms
which are being reclaimed from what
| has long been regarded as waste land

Long standing case completely cured

NERVE PILLS

Headache and Neuralgia.
What hosts of people seek for cure Of
these ailments. And in vain.
Because they are mislead by going
after medicines which only relieve.
DR.. A. w. Chase IS Nerve Pills are not
a relief for headaches and neuralgia,
but they are thorough cure in the only
way these troubles can ever be really
cured-by restoring the nervous system.
Mrs. E. Brigden, 312 East Adams ST.,
Syracuse, N. Y, states: "Until used
DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills 1 was
never free from attacks of distressing
neuralgia in cold months and suffered
from draft even in summer time.
Other remedies relieved only, but these
Nerve Pills stopped the attacks, due !
believe to their building up power"
Neuralgia and nervous headaches are
always an indication of exhausted
nerves. Make the cure thorough by
using DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills, so

Iowa Has Corn Husker Shortage.

A cry for help is heard from every
cornfield in the state of Iowa. Farm
ers cannot secure enough men to
help them harvest their crops They
are paying the huskers 4 and cents
a bushel, but even at this rate they
are very scarce, which has caused
appeals to be sent out in every direc-
ton asking for more men.
Scores of letters have been received
by the Des Moines employment Off
ces asking them to furnish the farm
ers all the laborers they can secure,
but the demand cannot be filled
for the city itself has enough work
on hand to keep 500 extra men at
work constantly for the next year.
This condition has existed for the
past six months, and continues to
grow worse instead of better.
Many Iowa farmers are advertising
for help in local and eastern papers,
but this has even failed to bring them
the necessary help, indicating that
there must be demand for labor
in every part of the country, and a
big one at that.

The animal is perfectly formed ex-

the extra leg is attached only few
inches from the extra stomach. The
stomach is considered the most un-
usual feature of the freak as it is
suspended on the outside of the body
and is in perfect working order. The
spinal column of the calf is divided
just in front of the shoulders, branch
ing into two parts, from which ex-
tend the four shoulder blades.

ONE DEAD, 80 HURT
When Street Car Brakes Fail and
Car Turns Turtle.
ROOD DIES FROM INJURIES
Carload of People Held Prisoners In
Wrecked Car-Motorman Es-
capped by Jumping Out of
Vestibule Door.

Des Moines, Nov. 6.-Crowded with
eighty passengers, University and
thirty-ffth street car No 1853 left the
tracks at the curve on Nineteenth
and Woodland, struck and broke two
telephone poles, keeled sommersault
and injured over fifty people, one OF
whom w. R. Rodd, travelling sales
man, died at the Methodist hospital.
Others are in a critical condition.
After frantic efforts to control his
car, Motorman A. A. Person jumped
from his door twenty fee, from the
curve, without a cry of warning to
the passengers whom he left to rush
into the jaws of death.
Several blocks back the motorman
lost control of his car Passengers
first noticed this when he passed peo-
pie waiting to get on the car. He COM
menced frantically to twist his brake,
then he threw mis- power lever back
ward and forth. One woman says he
turned and looked with white face
despairingly at the passengers, then
opened the door and jumped.
The car with it's locked gates went
madly on with it's cargo of human
lives into the disaster The car turn
ed over, at the opposite side of Wood
land crushing human beings without
mercy.
Shortly after the wreck the City
Railway company had workingmen on
the scene who Immediately COM
menced destroying the trucks upon
which the brakes are attached. Cap,
discovered this and ordered the work
ingmen to stop their labors. The de.
partment was at once notified and
Superintendent Hamery and Council
man John MacVicar hurried to the
scene to make an investigation. 1t is
the concensus of judgment of those
in the accident and those who saw il
of this disaster
The car was badly demolished and
the hundreds of people who looked at
the debris wondered that many OF
the passengers were not killed. The
car, as it left the tracks, struck two
telephone poles, breaking them
jumped on twenty feet, struck 8
small tree and turned over on its
side The windows were all broken
from the car, one side was jammed
in and the front platform was crush
ed against the car. If the motorman
had remained at his post he would
have been killed. The trucks of the
car were torn off as it toppled over
