REV. AND MRS. MOSES CLARK
WILL SOON CELEBRATE 72ND.

Pella, Aug. 9.-While other towns IN
Iowa are boasting of welded couples
celebrating SO years of married life,
60 years and even some 66, Pella has
venerable couple who soon will cele-
brate their 72nd wedding anniversary.
This couple is none other than Rev
and Mrs. Moses A. Clark, who have
been married longer than any other
Iowa pair and have been residents OF
Pella since 1855.
Mr.. Clark was born in Unadilla,
Otsego county, New York, July =, lSli,
and Is now in the 93rd year Of life.
Mrs. Clark's maiden name was Mary
w. Bliss, and she was born in the
same town, Nov. 2, 1918, and will be
81 years old in less than three months.
The date of their wedding was Nov.
15, 1S37-when Iowa was unknown
and there were only 26 states in the
American union.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark and their young
family removed west and settled in
Dubuque, Iowa territory, in 1s45, and
came to Pella in November, 1855.

six are now living. They have also Az
grandchildren and 81 great grandchil-
dren.
Mr. Clark spent Al years as mis-
sionary of the American Baptist Soci-
ETY., principally in Colorado. and was
ordained as a minister and helped or
| ganize many of the Baptist churches
Of that state.
Although absent from the state for
several years, Pella has been his home
for 81 years, Mrs. Clark and family
remaining here during his absence. He
was injured in a runaway in 1898, and
has since been obliged to walk by the
aid of crutches or to be pushed abou,
in wheel chair. He still reads with
out glasses and his mind Is as clear as
that of young man. He seldom fails
to attend church and Sunday school in
fair weather and has preached few
times during the past year.
Mrs. Clark has always enjoyed goo6
health, but has suffered twice from in
/. juries sustained by falls.
The old folks live in their own house
in Pella, but are fortunate in having
the constant companionship and care
from their daughter, Mrs. Towne, wht
makes her home with them.

Senator Cumnins admitted that in
order to secure q new alignment Of tho
party forces It would be necessary to
carry the fight into the national Re-
publican committee.
What is needed, he said, is q tariff
commission. They have such things In
Germany, France and England. This
would put stop to the business anx-
iety over changes Of the tariff and
result In more justice.
II am In favor of protective tariff,
but believe 1t should be built on
scientific principles. In~this session of
Congress it was Impossible to get at
accurate facts on which to make the
changes in the various items.
81 believe a tariff commission COM
posed Of experts appointed by the
president, and with little more initia-
tive than the interstate commerce
commission possess, would accomplish
may good results.
1T could make inquiries into the &C
tual cost Of production of an article on
this continent and in Europe and then
present the facts to Congress. possibly
with recommendations. At each ses-
sion Congress could then take up one
or two items, and, having the exact

The people will pay the tax on cor

Both Mr.. Wyman and Mr.. Daggett
state they are willing to camp on the

ginning Of any of the golfers.
Rider and Mckee Fast.
The preliminary work of Ralph Rid
er and Bert Mckee of Des Moines who
have been the real live wires of the
bunch of golfers now working on the
course, has made their galleries sit UP
and take notice so fast has their play
been. These two young golfers seem to
think more of the game than any other
pasttime and despite the handicaps
that a foreign course would usually
furnish to strangers, they made unus-
ually low scores for the nine holes
gone over this morning. About the
only players who have thus far failed
to become nervous by the work of
Rider and Mckee are Roy Smith, Mel
son Cowles, H. E. Brandt and Dwight
Baker of the Ottumwa Country club.
In these four men, who by the way
will represent the local club in the
team championship event, the Ottum-
wa enthusiasts have placed much con-
fidence, and their work from the
qualifying rounds of tomorrow to the
end Of the tournament next Saturday
will be watched with the keenest in
terest by many members of the OF
tumwa club. The work of Baker and
Cowles at the recent Trans Mississippi
tournament at Des Moines stamp these
two men as fast players, and on them
the Ottumwa club place much depend
ence.
The tournament will open with the
largest out of-town entry list in the
history of the association, and that the
competition will be keener than at any
previous meeting is assured.
Are After Next Meeting.
Cedar Rapids and Sioux City are al
ready campaigning for the 1910 an
nual tournament of the association,
and the delegates from those cities al
ready on the field are putting forth
their most persuasive talks in eulogy
of their courses and the hospitality of
each city. There Is every promise that
contest will mark the selection for
the next tournament city.

Don't Neglect Your
Kidneys& Bladder
SYMPTOMS Such as These Almost
Surely Mean X DIN y and
Bladder Disease

Painful. lame and aching back, rheu-
matte twinges and shooting, knife like
pains in the back and groin, dull drag
ging WEAKNESS, inability to stoop over
or to lift anything, nausea, faint spells,
heart palpitation and weakness, sedi-
ment in urine. scalding sensation, etc.
When you observe any of these sy1np-
toms, as above, YOU may rest assured
that it is very dangerous to neglect
them. So dangerous, in fact, are dis
eases of the kidneys and bladder, that
they frequently terminate in death
with little warning TO the victim.
The extremely fatal character of
these maladies is due TO the uric acid
poison in the systeDl-which the weak
and ailing kidneys and bladder cannot
expel. And when uric acid is allowed
to remain in the system, II leads, soon
er or later, to grave conditions.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills
have quickly and effecrually removed
all conditions which lead TO these
alarming diseases, in thousands Of
cases where these pills have been given
a trial. They are wonderfully prompt
and efficacious in acknowledgement
antiseptic, soothing and healing, and
contain no opiates or narcotics.
E. c. Dewitt & Co. Chicago, Ill,
