SOME ADVICE
ABOUi COLDS

Take warning from the first
sneeze and check a cold before
the lungs are affected.
An effective remedy for coughs
and colds is made by. mixing a
half ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine
compound pure with two ounces
of giycerine and eight ounces of
pure whisky. These ingredients
can be bought in any first-class
drug store and easily mixed to-
gether In large bottle. II is
claimed that a teaspoonful of the
mixture four times a day will
break up a cold in twenty-four
hours and cure any cough that is
durable. This formula is highly
recommended by the Leach
Chemical Co of Cincinnati. in
whose laboratories the genuine
Virgin Oil Of Pine compound
pure is prepared.

WHY NOT experiences of the earl.
CLEAN IT morning. the question
Was asked a good many
times during the day: why does not
the city clean the walks on the
bridge" There is city ordinance
which campels citizens to clean the
snow from their walks and the city
should obey its own laws. There Is
enough grade to the bridge to make
walking very difficult when there is
ice on the concrete walks. For sew
eral days. walking on the bridge has
been perilous and yesterday II was
particularly fraught with danger. The
city should have sufficient regard for
its reputation To keep the walks on
the bridge free from ice and snow:
to do 50 would also be insurance
against damage suits following broken
limbs. There was a heap OF kicking
yesterday: people kicked frantically as
their feet slipped UP into the air and
their heads struck the pavement, and
they kicked again as soon as they had
recovered their breath sufficiently to
express their opinion of the way the
walks are.

SUIT INVOLVES 100000 FARMS
Man Wins Point in Big
Csse-Much Interest In
Marshall COunty,

Marshalltown, Jan. 10.-W. ]. Fort
of this city, has won the first and a
most vital point in his lawsuit with
Mrs. 41ary E. Colby, of Des Moines,
which involves the ownership OF
1865 acres of valuable farm land in
Marshall, Wright and Dickinson coun-
ties, and Marshall county, Illinois.
This property involved has an esti-
mated value Of from s35O,0OO to
100000.
By the decision of Judge Lee Mr..
Fort is given the right to redeem the
land, which affirms his contention that
he is the virtual owner and that the
title is still vested in him. The case
involves the title to 1900 acres of land
some of it of value of $3.50 per acre,
in Marshall county. This land lies
near Melbourne and both south and
north of Green Mountain. Some of the
present owners Of this Marshall coun-
ty land are ]. a. Lynch, John J. 'Soor-
holtz, Albert Klingbel, W. G. Perry,
George 3. Dannen. J M. Whorram,
and Warren S. Walter. Part of them
bought the land of Mrs. Colby, presum,
ing she was capable of giving an abso-
lutte title. According to the decision
Fort being given the right to still re.
deem the land, is thereby vested with
the title of ownership. The ordinary
recourse of the land owners would be
against Mrs. Colby.

kind Of immigrants coming in from

ROUNDUP 7 1tAQ5 Old
Permanent Building U, Of City Of
Roundup Dates From March
11th, 1908.

Today is the second anniversary
OF the first sale of lots in the city of
Roundup. This date is of Importance
in the history of the city marking,
rs it does, the birth Of permanent
Roundup. Previous to this date
two years ago, there were only three
or four permanent buildings stand
ing, these having been erected by
people who already had great faith
III the future of the city and were
willing to take Il chance at it by
acquiring a squatter's right to lot.
There were, however, a number of
temporary buildings scattere
around the town, most of which
have since disappeared or have been
remodeled and improved.
Roundup's first lot sale was not
by public auction, neither has there
been such an event since. The sale
was not heralded abroad, regular
passenger service had not yet been
established on the g., M. d st, r.,
yet on the 18th and 18th Of March,
1908, about 95 lots were sold
amounting approximately to $685.
600. Practically all OF these lots
were sold to people who had al
ready located here.
The changes from the frontier
town OF two years ago to an incorpor-
ated city with electric lights, water
works, cement sidewalks, up-to-date
stores and other appertanances of
a modern city, have been remark
able. Those who have been here
since the start have Witnessed a
miracle which is, perhaps. without
a parallel in the northwest. If one
could look ahead now as easily as
we can in retrospect, there is no
doubt in our mind that Roundup
would present picture in another
two years that would cause us to
doubt the efficiency OF our own
eyes.
