Lectured on tuberculosis.

DR.. j. w. Kline, of Ft Dodge, lee
tured before the Decatur County Med
ical Society in this city last Thursday
on the subject of Tuberculosis" :"
which was greatly appreciated by the
medical fraternity. In the evening
Dr.. Kline delivered a free lecture at
the M. E. church on Tuberculosis,
It's Causes and Prevention and there
was a good sized audience present to
hear him. DR.. Kline is travelling over
the state giving these lectures under
the auspices of the state board of
health. He uses large number of
illustrations which are of great as
sistancein educating the people as to
cause and prevention of the Great
White Plague. In the views were
shown unsanitary homes and sur
roundings and told of the heavy death
list each year in Iowa from this dis
ease, stating that the disease is most
ly prevalent among the women. He
also advocated a sanitary fountain or
individual drinking cups for all public
schools. The lecture was very inter-
esting and 1t Is to be hoped will re-
suit in much good in the effort which
is being made throughout the state
to stop the ravages of this dread dis
ease.

Physical Culture and Dancing.

Miss Julia M. Fogerty will hold
Iher first dancing class on Thursday
evening, March 10th. The class will
meet regularly on Friday evening,
but the date is changed this week
on account of the declamatory con-
test. The class will be held at the
P. e. o. hall at 1880 followed by as
sembly from 900 to 1900. The
class for children will be held Satur-
day afternoon at 2:30. Miss Fogerty
is especially anxious to have a large
children's class as she has an abund-
ance of interesting material for them
including light physical culture,
gymnastic dancing and games
Special classes will be arranged
for those not wishing to enter the be-
ginner's class.
Glasses in physical. culture and
basket ball will be organized and
those interested in these classes
should see Miss Fogerty as soon as
possible.
The demand for physical educa-
! ton is growing rapidly. 1t has be-
come self evident fact that proper
ly directed exercise will bring us all
to normal state, giving us health,
development, control, freedom,
grace and poise. 1t broadens the
chest, overcomes round shoulders,
strengthens the heart and lung ac-
ton and puts new life into tired
people; 1t combines a pleasant recre-
alton with exercise best fitted to the
needs of the pupils SO that correct
habits of position and use of body
are formed giving self reliance and
self command.

City Politics.

The city election will be held on
the fourth Monday of this month
and within the last few days there
has been considerable interest mani
tested in the matter, there being a
general discussion as to who should
be selected to I'M the city offices, as
all of the old officials retire from
Office this year. There seems to be
general demand that Horace Far
quhar be elected as mayor, and while
he does not want the Office, Mr.. Far
quhar has consented to make the
race for mayor providing other busi-
nessmen will also make sacrifice
and serve as members of the city
council. c. M. Axes and Geo. T.
Ogilvie are talked of as aldermen at
large, John w. Wasson as alderman
from the First ward, J. w. Hurst
from the Second and j. A. Caster
from the Third ward. The name of
DR.. j. 0. Woodmansee has been sug-
gested as a candidate for city treas
urer and that of j. w. Honnold for
assessor. There will doubtless be
other candidates in the field, and the
voters should carefully consider the
merits of the candidates. We are on
the eve of a new era in city affairs,
the waterworks are to be installed
this summer and other improvements
made, and great care should be ex-
ercised in selecting a progressive and
business like set of men to serve as
city officials.

What They are Doing at GAINESVILLE

Things have been humming at the
shaft the past week, and good pro-
gress has been made in spite of the
fact that the water supply gave out
and they had to go prospecting for
water.
The main shaft tonight (Wednes-
#day,) is in the neighborhood of Is
feet, and the boys are going right
along and with good luck the first
100 feet should be reached the latter
part Of next week.
The concrete collar for theair shaft
is completed and the boys are going
right down in it. The. intention is to
sink both. shafts at the same time SO
that both may be completed at pract-
ically the same time.
Brick layers are now at work cas-
ing in the two big boilers which were
recently put in position and when
they are connected with the other two
now in use will furnish a world of
power. 1t will be some time before
this connection can be made as the
weather has been cold and bad lately
that little progress could be made
in brick-laying.
Last Monday noon, Messrs G.. H.
Ballantyne and c.. A. Wotring, of
Burlington, surveyors for the G. B. &
O., arrived and have been engaged
in setting the grade stakes for the
new switch which is to run from the
main line to the mine.
We are advised that grading will
begin at once for the switch and the
work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible to completion. 1t is the in
tention to have this switch ready as
soon as the coal company will need
it.-Cainsville News.

The Norton triplets have given Osce-

$40 was handed to Mrs. Norton the
other day, the money being solicited
by G. S. Davis. Several papers have
used the picture and the Modern

circulation has asked for it. The
Sentinel had many calls for extra
papers that we could not take care
of, and postcards with their picture
are in demand. Mother and babes
are doing fine and presents pour in
upon them. The Norton family is
in no sense an object of charity, the
father being substantial, sober
and hard working man but it seems
to us that the community ought to
do something for these little citizens

will give twenty-five or fifty cents
per week for year to hire nurse to
assist Mrs. Norton. The community

Indications are that the attendance
at this game will be record-breaker,
as it has aroused more interest than
any sporting event in the history OF
the state. The playing of A. & M.
and "Ole Miss" has been sensational
this year, and each team is regarded
as much stronger than a year ago,

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and then it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in.
famed condition of the mucous sur.
faces.

1t is easy to detect the difference
in the raised certificate and a $40 one,
as the 81 certificates bear a like
ness of Lincoln on one side and Grant
on the other, with an eagle in the
center, and the word zone" appears in
the margin. The word zone" has
been blotted out with ink at the side
of the figure one wherever it appears
on the certificate on both sides.
1t is also reported that there are
large number of spurious half dol
lars in circulation, and it will be well
for all those so fortunate as to have
any of the half dollar pieces to fall
into their possession to see if they
have the right ring.
Counterfeit S. and $40 bills are
more numerous in New York just now
than ever before, and it is believed
that thousands of such queer" Ger
tificates are in circulation among the
unsuspecting. Several hundred dollar
bills have also turned up, and it is the
part of wisdom to carefully examine
all bills of that denomination before
accepting them. This counterfeit IL
easy of detection, however, as the ii
tie following the signature of J. W
Lyons reads register of the treasur
