Isle wrote Grandpa letter
trimming DER with love and thanks.
For the kitten he had promised
All the way from Isle of Manx
Quite labor, too, she found it,
Dotting is and crossing is, ;.
But Grandpa read very clearly:
"Send the kitten, if you please
So one morning, from the city,
Spite of wind and snow and rain
Came the long-expected Kitty,
In a basket, on the train.
"Oh! you darling thing!l" cried Elsie,
Stroking fur as smooth as silk,
"Come, your breakfast is now ready;
Such bowl of bread and milkl"
Kitty ran to eat the breakfast,
Elsie uttered shrek and wall:
"Oh, dear, dearl something's the n1atters
Where, oh, where, is Kitty's tailf"
Then she wrote another letter,
Nice and neat, without a blot:
"Thank you, Grandpa, for the Kitty;
But her tail--you have forgotl"

Elevators Being Cleared Preparatory
to Receive New Crop.

Fort Dodge, Aug. 12.-Fffty cars OF
grain per day are being loaded on the
Cherokee Omaha division OF the IL
linois Central say officials Of the road.
and shipments have not yet reached
their height In fact, the present ship
ments are of only the old grain re-
naming in the elevators that is being
moved to market to make room for
the new grain. In the height Of the
season, an average of $50 cars OF
grain per day are loaded on this d.
vision.
All the railroads thru Fort Dodge
are busy distributing empty cars to
their grain shipping points. A large
force of men has been busy repairing
the "bad order" cars. Motive power
also is being inspected and put in bet
ter order so as little congestion al
possible will occur.
Supt, G. w. Berry in his crop re-
port for the week ending Aug. s, which
he sent to Chicago, declares the small
grain in the territory served by the
railroad is cut and some threshing is
in progress. The yield. forty bushels
to the acre, is better than anticipated
when cutting began. The quality also
is good. Barley and wheat will yield
twenty bushels to the acre.
Corn, declares the report, needs rain,
altho enough moisture remains in the
ground so that the corn can make good
progress. So far not much damage
has resulted from drouth. The dry
sections are scattered Vegetables are
of average yield. The hay yield is
short. only about a third OF a crop.

Des Moires, Aug 12.-Iowa miners
dug out Of the ground In the year ended
June 80 last just 1878 tons less of
coal than they did in the previous year,
and the number Of persons employed in
the industry was two more
The number Of persons, including
miners and all assistants, in the en-
ployrnent of the mine companies the
past year was 1904. The total tonnage
Of coal mined and marketed was
7,222.4s0.
The greatest falling off in amount Of
coal mined was in the extreme south
ern part Of the state. as there was a
considerable increase in the product in
Des Aoines and vicinity.
Polk county, in which Des Moines
is located, had four less mines in oper-
alton but employed 81 more persons
and turned out S9,456 tons more of
coal.

Der of mines in operation, 1910, in each

Association Of New York state. which
has attracted attention the world over.
Mr.. Wrightman, secretary Of the as
ISOLATION, has gone on record with a
scathing denunciation Of the operations
Of the express companies of the state
and gave out the following interview:
There is really no excuse for the
existence Of what we call express COM
panies in the United States They are
here as a part Of the slipshod methods
permitted ip transportation affairs Of
the country thru the negligence Of the
people.
Figures prepared on the part Of the
officers of the Iowa State Manufactur-
ers' Association disclose the fact that
the express companies have reached
exorbitant charges in their rates
across the state Of Iowa and in some
instances attempts have been made to
conceal the net earnings Of the COM
panies. Statistics put before the COM
mission show that the express COM
panies in Iowa. as we'll as in other
states, are making from forty to lis per
cent returns from the actual capital
that thty employ. Statements Of earn

EDITORS SIGN PEACE TREATY.
Iona Feud and Abuse at Manson
Comes to End.


Manson, Aug. IA formal treaty OF
peace signed here ended the bitterest
and most persistent newspaper war IN
Iowa. For years John F. Dalton or tue
Democrat and the Long brothers OF the
Journal have been calling each other
all sorts of bad names in their re-
spective papers. The feud has occas-
sionally quieted down only to break out
again with increased violence In the
early days during these breathing
spells between battles citizens used to
think the dove Of peace had come, but
they gradually learned not to be de-
ceived In that way and many had come
to believe that the war would go on
forever. But the end has come at last.
1t was preceded last week by an I'M
usually violent attack on the Longs IN
the Democrat The Longs discarded
,-.eir old weapons and resorted to the
courts. Then negotiations for peace
were begun The following notice pub
lished Yesterday in beth papers was the
result:

No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures Of female Ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years It has been
curing female complaints such as
inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change Of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia E.
