Mason City gets another cement
mill with a daily capacity of 5000
barrels. The enterprise calls for the
investment of S2,OOO,OOO, and a.
large number of men will be given
profitable employment Mason City
might we'll change her name to Ce-
ment City. With the introduction of
the new building material and it's
great and ever growing popularity, a
new era has come to Mason City. She
has become the great cement produc-
ing town of the state, and her every
industry has been benefited, and her
growth has been phenomenal. She
had some 500 people ten years ago.
No doubt she will double that this
year. And she may do better than
that. She has practically inexhaust1-
BILE supplies of the raw material, and
with an ever growing demand for
cement, Mason City has the right to-
feel hopeful and to expect things.

SAYS GoTcH WON'T FIGHT.
Farmer Burns Declares Wrestling
Champion Won't Fight Johnson.

Omaha, July 14.-"I don't think
there is thing to this talk of Gotch
training to fight Jack Johnson" said
Farmer Burns, dean of the mat, the
man who brought out Gotch and
made him the worlds greatest wrest-
Ter and who helped train Jeffries.
"Why should he?" asked the
Farmer. Frank is a wrestler, not a
fighter and, though in a rough and
tumble l think he could whip John
son or Jeff, yet in a fight where he
had to box according to rules he'd
have no more show than you or l.
Il see Jim Corbett is talking about
bringing Frank out, but | think it is
just talk. If Frank ever had such a
notion he never told me and he talk
ed over his affairs with me at Reno.
He said he was retired for good, and
he even went so far as to say before
the fight that he would not make the
tour of the world planned in case of
Jeffries winning. So don't think he
has any notion of entering the fight
ing business.
Wrestling is different from fight
ing and why should man who has
beat the world at his own game try
to get into a game he knows nothing
about?"
Burns still feels badly over Jeff's
defeat and is certain that some vital
organ gave way and let the big fell
low down
1T wasn't his head he said, she
could think, but he could not execute.
1t is a sad affair"

Receipt For Kidding Home of Ants.

The following receipt for Kidding
the house of ants was sent to the
Diagonal Progress by Mrs. Mary
Nichols: To rid your house of all
kinds of ants buy five cents worth of
tartar emetic at the drug store. Take
very little of the powder, perhaps
a quarter of teaspoonful, mix with
a little sugar and make very moist
with water. Set it around in little
dishes where ants seem to be the
worst 1t may take couple of hours
or. day before they will leave but
they will surely go. They do not
die but can't seem to stay where the
tartar emetic is. 1t is poison so
keep it out of reach of children.
This has been used by a number of
Mt. Ayr and also Diagonal ladies'
and is unfailing. - s'sss=s

Consumptives Warned. No Medicine
a Sure Cure.

The Press bureau of the State
Board of State Institutions has is
sued the following:
Des Moines, July $50 many
people suffering with tuberculosis
and hopeful of cure are apt to be de-
ceived by advertisements of remedies
1t is a fact that patients afflicted with
tuberculosis are always hopeful of
recovery, and consequently very
easily deceived. 1t is also fact
that many of the remedies adver
tised to cure coughs, 'colds" and
consumption not only are value
less but are positively harmful.
1t has been ascertained that many
of the so called scures" which in
cludes institutions, professors. or
companies of doctors" who for
consideration guarantee to cure the
consumptive by some secret method
of which they are sole proprietors.
It is stated that there are nearly
one hundred and fifty of these in the
United States.
There is also another class of
cures" in which are placed home
remedies which, either through ig-
norance or superstition, have been
advanced as treatments for this dis
ease. Some of these are lemons,
rattle snake poison, coal dust, lime
dust. pigs blood. dog oil, milk strip
pings and alcohol. There is no drug
or other material yet discovered
which when eaten, inhaled, or in
jected into the body will kill the
germs of tuberculosis.
If you have consumption you
should observe the following rules,
Consult good physician at once
and request a thorough diagnosis
then do absolutely what he tells you
Live and sleep in the open air. Get
as much rest as possible. Stay in
the sunshine. Be cheerful. Eat al
abundance of good wholesome food
Don't Worry. Be sure to inform
Yourself so that others will be pro
tected against your infection. Fight
hard and you will win.

The children of Mrs. S. w. Hurst

The children of Mrs. S. w. Hurst
perpetrated most agreeable sur
prise on her Tuesday evening, it be-
ing her list birthday. In order to get
her away from home she had been
invited to spend the day at the home
of her son, Charles e. Hurst, and
when she returned home in the
evening she found that all her chill
dren, grandchildren and number of
relatives were assembled at the
house, and most elaborate supper
was ready to be served. 1t is not
often that the children get ahead of
Mother Hurst, but on this occasion
she had to confess that they had
completely surprised her. About
twenty-five were present and most
enjoyable evening was spent.

tlemen and ladies were out "mobil-

just received a present of half doz-

very proud of them, lifted the belt of

the pair of speckled beauties, then
encasing his ankles. The ladies ex-

common; we all wear silk hosiery

Another fine rain Monday after
noon which was followed by another
on Tuesday morning, practically as
sures bumper corn crop in Decatur
county. Put this on top of mag
nificent oats crop and the farmers
of Decatur county have reason to
feel proud Oats are threshing out
much heavier than expected, and
Decatur county never before har-
vested such crop of oats. In talk
ing with farmers who have threshed
their oats we learn that the average
yield this year is right around fifty
bushels to the acre, and many are
reporting So to 54 bushels per acre.

Assessable Property in Iowa.

The auditor of state has just COM
piled the totals of assessable proper
ty in Iowa from the reports OF the
ninety-nine county auditors. This is
now in the hands of the executive
council, which may make some adj
justments. With respect to personal
property the report shows the follow
ing noted for assessment:
Moneys and credits. >. So, 10, 1852
Merchandise ........,. 50. ,S43
Corporation stocks. 80. 3o, 019,729
Capital employed in man
ufacturing ....... 2,OlS,S1
Vehicles S,960,595
FURNITURE o,5oO 90 .
Other personal property 17,4OO,716
1t is interesting to note the amount
of moneys and credits reported for
taxation and to compare with that
figure the total amount of money
actually deposited in Iowa banks by
depositors on the last bank call last
February, which was $3.50, 64S,-
1882. 1t is very apparent that
over $3.50, 100000 was not assessed.
This fact is pointed out with consid-
cradle emphasis by those who ad-
vocate abolishing the taxation of
moneys and credits. They say fair
assessment cannot be secured.
The report shows, however, in
other respects that Iowa is striding
forward in the pathway of prosperity
