IoWA's RICHEST MAN.
Mr.. F. M. HubbeII, Des Mones, Iowa,
Writes this Letter Telling What
He Knows of the Neal Cure.

HE is man that I have always
admired and thought a great deal of,
on account Of his ability when sober
and his honesty and square dealing
at all times. l have on many different
occasions furnished the funds and per-
mitted him to invest in real estate and
handle for our mutual account, and l
would not hesitate to do the same thing
at this time, whenever an opportunity
was presented. He has always been a
fine man and an upright citizen in
every respect, except that he has been
cursed with the liquor habit all the
years that / have known him.
ION one occasion when he had lost
all power or ability to handle himself,
caused him to be sent at my own
expense to a well known drink habit
cure, in this city, where he remained
and was treated for several weeks.
Apparently no treatment ever lasted
with him for very many hours or days
until he would return toodrink.
Il did not see him for about three
months and 1 was greatly surprised
really amazed, to see him and have a
personal interview with him recently,
when he came to my office and told
me that he had taken the Neal Cure
in the early part of this year. 1t is
an absolute fact that the man looks
better; is much heavier in weight, and
surely has clearer brain and better
and more active mind than have ever
known him to have for over ten years
past. The results of the Neal Cure In
his case are certainly most wonderful
and if it will do the same for all drink
ing men as it has done for him, there
is certainly no excuse for the drinking
man longer continuing as such and So
ciety and the BUSHES world should
recommend and urge all drinking men
to take this treatment, and if the
drinking man refused to do so he can
not blame any one if he should be os-
tracized from the business and social
world of the times.
In closing, take great pleasure in
recommending him in his new life to
the favorable consideration of all those
who may have occasion to have any
social relations with him.
Respectfully submitted,
Fl. M. Hubbell."

One of the Best Known Men in Iowa
Cordially Endorses The Neal Cure.
ITO Whom 1t May Concern:
Il had friend here in Des MONIES,
who, because of his drink habit his
business went to pieces and he be-

he seems to have fully recovered. He

New York. April 26.-At quarter ly meeting of the United States Steel corporation today the directors de- clared a dividend of l A per cent on the common shares, thereby increasing the rate from per cent to per cent an- nually.
 In a statement to the directors, Chairman Gary announced that any additional disbursement hereafter made on the common stock will take the form of "extra dividends" The action of the directors was in line with popular expectations, although the course of Steel common, in the late ses- sion of the stock market, seemed to reflect some uncertainty on this point.
 Earnings for the quarter ending March 31 last amounted to s37,616.S7c. with net returns of $31. 1.50S,194 These figures are likely to cause some dis. appointment, as conservative forecast CTS had fixed gross returns at not less than sS9,000,O00.
 Compar rison with the first quarter of 1909 when an "open market" with resultant cuts in prices prevailed showed marked increase in earnings and business on hand. Gross returns

 AS a journalist Bjornson expressed strong republican opinions, which aroused considerable public excitement. He was finally condemned to years imprison- ment for treason, but escaped to Ger many, afterward to America. and did not return to Christiana until in 1882, when he once more began the work of agitation against the government and the union of the two Scandinavian kingdoms,

 Quarterly Rate Ot Dividend

for this years first quarter are S4.- 695.60S greater than those for the cor responding quarter of last year, while net earnings are larger by s12.41S, 125.
 The following statement was given out by Chairman Ebert H. Gary after the meeting:
 "The finance committee recommends to the directors the declaration of the dividend of 1N per cent for the quar- ter ended April l. During the nine years of the existence of the corpor- ation ending April 1 the net earnings over and above all interest charges and dividends at the rate of per cent on the preferred stock have aver aged about Sh per cent per annum on common stock, while the dividenos actually paid on the common stock have averaged only 2.3 per cent. It is now believed that conditions justify an increase of the common dividends to the rate of per cent.
 "As the membership of the finance committee and board of directors may change from time to time no policy for the future can be fixed but it is the opinion fthe present member of the finance committee that when hereafter earnings will justify further increase in distributions they should be de- clared in shape of extra dividends"

JUDGES ATTACK
 COY. PATTERSON

Nashville. Tenn, April 26.-Chief Jus tice Beard and Justices Nell and Shields of the supreme court last night issued a statement explaining why they had renounced the primary of June 4 and charging that the governor openly discussed the Cooper case and that he stated that nothing should be done looking to the nomination of supreme judges until 1t was decided, charging g that the Cooper case was the pivot up on which the action of the state commit tee would turn: charging that the state committee finally promulgated a primary plan which was menace to the court.
 This plan we regarded under the conditions as above presented as a menace to the members of the supreme court" says the statement Upon it's face and interpretated by the many things done and said at the time this plan presented to the court the al- terna tive of rendering decision in the case referred to favorable to the plain tiffs in error, and greatly desired, as everyone knows, by the governor or else becoming the objects of the dis pleasure of himself and those most de- voted to him, to be made manifest in the primary election, which would be under their control"
 They declared that they construed the action of the committee brought about under these conditions as a part of Governor Patterson's intention to invade and interfere with their solemn duties
