hardly too much to say that hi
was the only, as he certainly
was the last. intimate friend
that Lincoln ever had.
They knew the inmost thoughts
Of each others hearts and each
depended upon the honesty anc
loyalty of the other. %
The story Of the way theil
intimacy began and how they
came to abide together relates
that, entering Speeds store il
Springfield, saddlebags on arm
the just-arrived Lincoln ascer
tanned that the domestic outfit
he reQuied would cost the enor
NOUS sum of seventeen dollars
It had no idea it would cost the
half of that" said he, 'and
haven't the money to pay fol
it; but if you'll wait on me till
Christmas, and Imlak eanything,
II pay; and. if : don't, I can't. .
Said Speed: Il can do bette,

with me, and it shall cost you
nothing" He pointed the way
around a pile of boxes and bar

Lincoln went as directed, anc
quickly returned, but without
the saddle-bags. Speed" sale

was short, of stocky build, anc
given to loquacity; a little alb.
rupt in speech to the end of bis
days. Lincoln was very tai.
and angular, conciliatory, pa
tent, not even wanting the per
.suasive word. He might have
described himself and his frieno
as he once described himself and
his wife, as the long and short
of it. -
The first and most serious
affair of life to them was mar
riage, The amatory matters
which engaged and engrossed
them were not many, but they
cut deep. Lincoln had already
had what he thought was his
finishing stroke in the death of
Ann Rutledge, when The met
Mary Todd. Speeds love pas
sage with Fanny Henning was
to come later. Each as the Sc

Miss Mary Todd, of Lexington,
KY. * The engagement

one, as 9th narties doubted their
compatibility. x His af-
fection for his betrothed, which
he feared was not strong enough
to make happiness with her Sc
cure; his doubts which yet were
not convincing enough to induce
him to break off all relations
with her; his sense of honor
which was wounded IN his own
eyes by his own act; his sense of
duty which condemned him in
one course and did not sustain
him IN the opposite course. COM

David Starr Jordan, president
of Leland Stanford University
says: The basis of intemper-
ance is the effort to secure
through drugs the feeling Of
happiness where real happiness
does not exist. Men destroy
their nervous systems for the
tingling pleasures they feel as
its, structures are torn apart.
The evil in drink jsnot primarily

Health and Strength.

The great question of humanity
is for health and strength, especially
on the part of those who have lost
this priceless blessing. LOSS of
health means that the organs of the
body have become so weakened by
overwork that they are no longer
able to perform their work in the
manner nature intended them to do.
Meritol Tonic Digestive is especially
intended to assist nature in her eff
forts to strengthen and build up the
run down system, restore the or
gans of the body to their natural
condition, through which the body
will receive its proper nourishment
and health sustaining rich, red
blood. We are authorized by the
directors of the American Drug &
Press Association to guarantee Meri-
tol Tonic Digestive to those who are
in need of a reliable tonic and blood
builder. E. ]. Parman, member Of

A S1,OOO,OOO Dam.

Fort Dodge, Iowa, May 29.-The
Northern Iowa Power Company,
concern which is incorporated for
one million dollars of which $780,
600 is paid up capital, are planning
the construction of a large dam
north of the city. This company is
at present engaged in the repair and
enlargement of the dam at Humboldt
for the distribution of electric power
and when that job is completed will
take up the matter of building the
dam north of this city. The plans
of the corporation are not definitely
known but enough has been learned
to warrant the belief that before the
end of the present year the city will
see a big dam completed across the
Des Moines river north of town. Be-
sides furnishing electrical power, the
dam will serve the purpose OF Great
ing a pleasure resort and will thus
fulfill two possibilities which have
heretofore not been taken advantage
of but which would no doubt give
excellent returns. The incorporators
of the company and the details of
the plan will be announced later.
One of the promoters of the project
was in the city a few days ago and
succeeded in interesting number
of business men.

BIG BLAZE AT DUBUQUE.
Big Lumber Yards Are Vast Bed of
Goals. Spectacular Fire, Third
i'm 1S Months, Believed of
Incendiary Origin.

Daylight Saturday morning found
a vast tract of the stock yards of the
Standard Lumber company at Du-
buque mass of Goals as a result of
what is believed to be an incendiary
fire Friday night. The loss will ag-
gregate half a million dollars, and
for hours, while the firemen battled
with the flames, ii was feared that
the mill and every foot of lumber
would be destroyed entailing a loss
of several million dollars. The fire
was the most spectacular ever wit
messed in the city, and was watched
by thousands. In the midst of the
burning lumber district stood a tow
er nearly 200 feet high. This took
afire early. AS the flames shot from
every window the sight was thrill
ing. The fire at the Standard Lum-
Der yards followed three other fires
all apparently of an incendiary ma
ture, earlier in the evening.
Revised losses of all fires to-date
are: Standard Lumber company
s300,000; Carr-Rider & Adams Sash
factory, $4,000; Flick Box Factory,
$500; Key City Furniture Co., $500.
This was the third fire at the
Standard Lumber company yards in
IS months. The total loss aggre-
gates 100000.
Another disastrous fire in the
same yards took place Sunday even
ing, which was without doubt also
incendiary, the loss reaching $751;
600.

BITTERS TOO LIVELY TONIC.
Muscatine Druggist Arrested a.
BoOtlegger. Proprietor, Leading
Church Man, Pleaded IgnOr-
ance of Charge.

Muscatine, Ia, May 29.-"Centen-
NAL bitters," a tonic guaranteed to
liven one up and containing 80 per
cent Of alcohol, is the latest booze"
which has been giving local citizens
a touch of high life. AS a result of
selling the same Theodore Keutch-
man, a prominent druggist of this
city, was placed under arrest, and
it is now up to him to explain to
the court why he should not stand
trial for bootlegging.
Keutchman's sales increased rap
idly of late, according to the police,
in fact he had quite run on this
particular bitters which was not as
bitter as it might seem, but which
had a greasy taste after swallowing.
Several with beautiful buns and a
bottle of the tonic were picked up
recently and brought to Jail. AS a
result a police investigation was ord
cred and Keutchman was taken into
custody.
Keutchman is prominent in
church circles here and his arrest
has caused a mild sensation. He is
assistant superintendent at the Unit
ed Brethren Sunday school. He
pleaded ignorance.

GRAND JURY INDICTED MANY
Worth County is Much Stirred up
Over Sensation i'm Glen
Vile, MINI.

DR.. Freeman has been a resident
of Chenille for a number of years.
He also owns a drug store. 1t seems
that he had some trouble with his
wife and he had instituted suit for
divorce. 1t is then stated that Mrs.
Freeman, upon hearing what her
husband hal done commenced coun-
ter proceedings. Mrs Freeman, in
the early evening, accompanied by
one of her children, went TO the
drug store owned and operated by
her husband, it is said for the pur-
pose of talking matters over This
is her side of the story. The doc
tor did not receive her kindly and it
is stated, metaphorically, that he
threw her into the middle of the
street. This act was witnessed by a
number who seemed TO think that
such thing ought not pass by in
Chenille without some sort of repri-
mand. A crowd gathered and along
about nine o'clock DR.. Freeman in
company with a friend, started to go
home. When not far distant from
his lodging place the crowd came up
with him but in the skirmish he
managed to get away from them and
lit out for the drug store He was
overtaken in the flight, taken out
into the middle of the street and
presented with a liberal coat of tar.
The assailants handled him quite
roughly and some of the acid used
by them is said to have badly in
jured his eye. He was quickly taken
to Albert Lea and placed in a hospi-
tai and has practically recovered.
For this offense the grand jury has
returned indictments against Frank
Flusek, Fred Holman, William Sven
sen, Walter Knudtson, Normal Hill,
Frank Hill, Frank Vonick, o. c..
Hansen, S. T. fitzpatrick, P. c. Mel
son, Roy Eckert and Harry Kirkpat-
rick. The case will come up for
trial in September. County Attorney
Peterson will prosecute and Dunn
and Carlson will appear for the al
legged assailants. The Indictment
has created a great deal of interest
in all the counties interested.

Minnesota Leper Dies.

Inger Wangen, who has suffered
with leprosy for several years, died
last week near Albert Lea. He liv-
ed alone in little hut built for his
care, and Freedom county has paid
his expenses. His fingers had drop
ped off nearly to the hands and he
was terribly Scared and disfigured.
1t is believed this was one of the
few cases of leprosy in the state and
it seems to have come TO this victim
through hereditary taints. Wangen
was 40 years old and had resided in
the towns of Riceland and Moscow
nearly all his life.-Leroy lndepend-
