The lPay.in.Advance Plan.

Knoxville Express: The postoffice
department may have thought it was
handing the newspapers hot potato
when it made the ruling in regard to
sending the paper to delinquents in
arrears more than twelve months, but
it will have to guess again. The As
ISOLATED Dailies of Iowa, meeting in
Des Moines last week with the various
Iowa press associations, passed reso-
luton urging the postoffice depart
ment to deny the second class privi-
lege in the case of any paper not paid
in advance. If the department will
adopt the suggestion of the Iowa pub
fishers it will at one fell swoop bring
all newspapers and periodicals to a
strictly cash-in-advance plaza most
desirable condition for the newspaper
and its paying subscribers, and one
that would injure only the deadbeats
by denying to everybody the credit for
newspaper subscription that makes
deadbeats possible. Newspaper men
are slowly coming to understand that
the nearer they get to a business ba-
sis in all departments the better for
the newspaper business.

Were Happily Married.

Last evening at half past five
o'clock at the residence of the brides
brother, Mr.. ii. c. Rubey, of $50
Bank street. occurred the marriage of
Miss H. Emma Rubey to Mr.. Isaac f.
Streepy. The Rev. John W. Potter of
the Trinity Methodist church, pro-
nounced the pretty nuptial ceremony
in the presence of few Of the rela-
tiyes of both bride and groom. There
We're several features which made
the wedding very happy and pleas
ing affair for all concerned. The
groom is a gentleman past seventy
two years OF age and his bride is a
lady Of forty. The fact that both have
attained these years in life, made the
ceremony and event OF marriage of
prettier note than that of younger
bride and groom as far as years are
concerned.
Mr.. Streepy is very prosperous
farmer residing on fine tract six
miles from Centeryille. A bit Of in
teresting information is that the bride
in going with her husband to their
home, will reside within mile and
a half Of the place where her child
hood was spent Mr.. and Mrs. Streepy
left this morning at 9:10 o'clock for
Centerville and in their new relation
will have the sincere best wishes of
scores of friends who will wish them
everything bright and happy in mar
ried life and hope that they will visit
this city often to renew acquaintance
and warm friendships held for them.

A Homely Story.

Utica IN. W Observer: II wasn't
much of story as news stories go
that figured briefly in the dispatches
of Saturday 1t was only few lines
from Deadwood, S. D., telling of the
death of two Indian women Two
women of the Yankton tribe they
were, and they persisted in storm on
the prairie near Rcseland on Wednes-
day last. The women with their 1us-
bands and babies had been visiting
on Bow creek and were driving home.
ward across the prairie. The wagon
broke down and the two men started
for the nearest town for help. While
they were gone storm, with the
cold, biting wind of the northwestern
prairies, swept down and enveloped
the two mothers and their babies. The
men returned later with rescue
party, to find the story of a tragedy
of mother love almost at its close.
When the binding storm came these
two Indian women had stripped off
their blankets and wrapped their
babies snugIy in them, and lowering
over the little ones to shield them
from the storm. had crooned them to
sleep. The babies were sleeping safe
and warm. One of the mothers was
frozen, stark and dead, and the other
died within short time.
1t wasn't much Of a story. Only
two Indian women frozen to death.
But the history of mother love since
the world began is epitomized in that
silent tragedy of the storm-swept
prairie. Not much of story. No
chance for heroics and eulogies. Just
two Indian women giving their lives
for their babies. But the world holds
nothing finer than the spirit of this
sacrifice. 1t is the very crown of
human love.

KISSING at Stations.

Iowa City Republican: Some of the
railroads wants to abolish kissing at
stations, because it delays the trains.
Maybe it does at some little towns,
but in sizable place like Iowa City,
since the last census, kissing is a
great help.
Usually there are twenty people
waiting for the train. Fifteen are 60
ing away and five are there to kiss
their friends and relatives. The kiss
ers do their osculatory stunt while
the ten passengers, who are presum-
ably either married or friendless,
climb abroad. There is no unseemly
jam about the steps. The lissers got
on last, and traffic is entirely unim-
peded.
Sometimes couple of the kissers
get ahead of the push. and block the
car entrance for some minutes. This
is what causes delay. Regulation is
better than prohibition. Require all
kissing to be done at distance OF
five feet from the car door.

The Clerks and the Government.

Sioux City Journal: AS class the
railway mail clerks deserve good
treatment if any employees in the gov
eminent service merit better treat
ment. The employment is extra haz-
ardous to begin with. While the clerks
are at work they must work under
pressure. The work requires high
degree of intelligence and skill. In
the main it has been performed with
extraordinary efficiency. The railway
mail clerks deserve good pay. They
deserve good accommodations, as safe
as may be, while on the road. They
should not be worked in way that
will save dollars by subjecting their
physical and mental resources to un-
due strain. Practically everybody
will agree to this. On the other hand,
if there has been loose administration
of their division, with the result that
the bureau chief says, of provionns ar
more employees than are actually nee
essary to do the work, there should
be no valid objection to taking up the
lost motion.

The Skin and Not the Blood


Until recently 1t has been a gener-
ally accepted proposition that eczema
was disease of the blood, and that
in order to cure 1t, the blood must be
purified and enriched by internal
remedies. Careful experiments and
scientific Investigations have taught
us that eczema is purely skim dis
ease, and durable through the skin
alone. A great majority of persons af-
flicted with eczema have no other all
ment, which is accepted as positive
proof that it is purely skin disease.
Having established this fact, the
chemists OF the American Drug and
Press Association set about to COM
pound prescription that would sue
cessfully cope with this disease and
after much Investigating brought out
Meritol Eczema Remedy. the effect
of which is marvellous. If you are af-
flicted with this loathsome disease,
do not delay trying Meritol Eczema
Remedy. You will be surprised at its
prompt action, its soothing effect and
its permanent results. The City Drug
Store is commissioned by the associa
ton to sell it in Keokuk.
