There Is more Catarrh In this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For q
great many years doctors pro-
nounced 1t local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional dis.
ease and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on
the market. 1t Is taken intern.

Decatur County Improved Stock
Breeders Association.

The Decatur County Improved
Stock Breeders Association held
their quarterly meeting at the Com
mercial Club rooms in Leon, Iowa,
on Saturday, Sept. End, at which time
arrangements were made for holding
stock show in connection with the
Farmers Institute on Nov. l, and
3, 1911. The stock breeders assocla-
ton will give premiums for eight
classes, draft bred colts, beef bred
calves, dairy calves, pigs and lambs.
80 per cent will be deducted from
any association premium won by nom
members.
Several parties owning yearling
colts wished to exhibit them, and in
order to make it interesting they
agreed to pay one dollar each as an
entry fee, the entrance fees to be
divided with the best colts. There
are seven entries and if there are
others who wish to enter yearlng
colts they may do so on payment OF
the entrance fee of one dollar, the
total amount of the entrance fees to
be divided among the winners.
The Decatur Shire Horse Co. will
give $500 for first, $1,000 for sec
ond, and $500 for third premium on
colts sired by their horse.
The Decatur Percheron Horse Co.
will give $4,000 to be divided among
the best colts sired by their horse.
Frank Hickman was appointed to
solicit a premium from the Eden
Prairie Horse Co.
Arrangements have been made for
stallion owners giving special prem
iums to their patrons, to have their
horses on exhibition the day of the
show. This will give visitors a
chance to compare the horses and the
colts at the same time.
Entries should be made as early as
possible so that the committee will
have time to secure plenty of accom-
modations Entries left at the hard
! ware store of VIM. Crichton & Son
will be given to the secretary, A. E.

Race War at GAINESVILLE.

It now looks as though GAINESVILLE
is standing right on the Threshold
of a race war. The Grand River
Coal and Coke Company are en-
ploying colored people in the mines
there and some of the Cainsvilleites
draw the color line, so to speak, and
the first of this week a notice was
posted at the negro quarters warning
them to quit the patch tomorrow
Those Cainsvilleites certainly dc
some queer things but this is the
limit. Such work is a disgrace to
the town and far beneath her citi.
zens. The outcome will be watched
with more than a passing interest,"

Saline to Prospect for Coal.

The Times understands that a
company is being organized at Saline
to prospect for coal and gas. Some
thing like 100000 has been sub
scribed. 1t is proposed to drill down
and if coal is found in paying guam
titles they will then get eastern cap
italists interested. The move will be
watched with interest by our people
and if it proves success such a
company will probably be organized
here in Pleasanton. We may be
wrong, but in our opinion there is
plenty of coal in this vicinity if gone
after.-Pleasanton Times.

Attorney A. P. Olsen of this city
was at Mt. Ayr the latter part of last
week where he appeared as the prin-
cipal attorney for sheriff H. w. Ter
rell, who appealed from a justice
court where he was found guilty OF
assault and battery in little trouble
growing out of his activity in regard
to enforcing the law requiring
auto drivers to have lights burning
and to observe the speed limits. The
jury remained out all night, being
unable to agree on verdict and were
discharged the following morning by
Judge Evans. The jury stood eleven
to one in favor of acquitting the sher-
if.

We have frequently heard

We have frequently heard OF
horses being used to bring balky
auto into town, but never before
heard of an auto being used to bring
horse in, yet that is just what A. L,
Ackerley did with his Velie Sunday
afternoon. He had seven passengers
in his car and had driven up to his
big farm near Van Vert to bring
home a shetland pony which he had
purchased for his children. One of
the boys started to ride the pony
home, but as it travelled pretty slow,
and they were in hurry, they just
opened the door of the auto and led
the little pony in the auto and came
whizzing home in short time.
Seven passengers and pony makes
|a pretty good load even for an auto,
but the Velie is equal to 1t.

Mr.. Clabe Brazelton, who recently

of mighty big corn raised on his farm
this year, and it is located in strip

mer, but shows that good big corn
can be raised whether it rains or not.
Mr.. Brazleton will have big closing
out sale this fall as he is going to
leave the farm, SO watch out for it,
for he raises just as good stock as he
does corn. The corn can be seen at

Grant McPhrrrin to Open New Bank
i'm DeS NOinpS

Grant McPherrin, resident OF Des
Moines since last April, and for eight
years prior to his removal to this city,
associated with the Clearfield First
National bank, of which he continues
as vice president, is preparing to open
a private Lank in University Place
about Jan. /. Mr.. McPherrin has not
decided upon the name he will give
the bank, but he has leased the room
at I'LL Twenty-tifth street, formerly
occupied by the University State
bank, pending selection Of another
and more eligible site. 1t will be a
private bank with capital stock Of
$4,000, fully paid up. 1t was the
expectation of Mr.. McPherrin to have
established a commercial bank, but
as this necessitates a capital stock of
$4,000, and believing the invest
ment of that much would not be
profitable at this time, he decided up
on a private bank with capital Of
$4,000 for the present.
Mr.. McPherin, before engaging in
the banking business at Clearfield,
had been in the mercantile business
there for number of years. He has
been eminent in financial affairs in
the state for ten years, being bank
err of conceded ability and man of
unquestioned integrity and rare
financial capability. Mr.. McPherrin
believes there is room for a second
bank in the northwest section of the
city, and he will endeavor to cultivate
the patronage Of farmers and cater
to the trade Of the people of Univer-
sity Place.-Register and Leader.

Judge Smith Mcpherson, in the
federal court last Saturday, dissolved
the temporary injunction obtained
recently by the express companies or
Iowa against the state railroad COM

commission has the right to fix eX-

81 the new rates, which will be ap-
proximately - per cent lower than
the present rates, will take effect.

in just nineteen minutes after he left
