A Progressive Century.

We are living in rapid age; an
age of progression. The world
moves and we must keep up with
it. The requirements of this rapid
age demand the most modern ap-
planes, the time saving and labor
saving devices, all the products of
the most skilled and highly Guilt
waited minds. Science has given us
many good things in modern medi-
cine, especially in regard to the
treatment of rheumatism. which can
now, in the great majority of cases,
be most satisfactorily treated. The
American Drug and Press Associa-
ton, of which we are members, are
manufacturing a preparation called
Meriltol Rheumatism Powders, from
a formula adopted by them after
medical experts had pronounced the
formula one of great merit. If you
are afflicted with rheumatism in any
of it's various forms, we would be
pleased to have you try Meritol
Rheumatism Powders. We are au-
thorized to sell them on a positive
guarantee. r. j. Parman, exclusive

Laborer Gets $4,000.

AS it now looks Charles Burns of
Mason City will receive about $10,-
900 from the North Iowa Brick and
Tile Co. In the district court of this
county in the February, 1910, ses-
sion, Burns received a verdict for
$4,000 against the North Iowa Brick
and Tile Co. for damages sustained
by an injury. The defendant ap-
pealed and the supreme court handed
down decision sustaining Judge
Clark in the lower court. Then they
made a demand for a retrial and this
has just been denied them. Burns is
laboring man and it is said that
his injuries will not permit him do
ing work as he did before.

$4,000 FOR ENDOWMENT FUND.
LennOX College Receives Big Addi-
ton to $4,000 Fund Being
Raised.

Hopkinton, Ia, Oct. President
Reed OF LennoX College, made the
pleasing announcement in chapel one
morning this week, that an addition
of $4,000 had been secured for the
endowment funds. 1t is a conditional
subscription as are most of the large
amounts yet given, being dependent
upon the raising of the $4,000 for
which the campaign is now on. There
is now in hand to be applied on the
second endowment movement, about
$4,000, which, added TO the recent
subscription. makes $4,000 already
secured as start on the new move
ment. One of the prime motives for
immediate activities on the endow-
ment, is to meet the requirements of
the Livingston bequest, and hearty
concerted movement on the part of
the friends of the college will, it is
thought, bring about its successful
accomplishment.

TOWN WIPED OFF MAP.
Flood at Black River Falls, Wis.
Does Much Damage.

Black River Falls, Wis, Oct. =
This city of about 1000 inhabitants
practically has been blotted from the
map of Wisconsin. Only a few of the
siXty-one business blocks have thus
far escaped the fury of the floods
and they are doomed to destruc-
ton. Within a few hours this once
rich center of a prosperous farming
community will have little TO boast
of except that it will go down in his
tory as the scene of catastrophe.
What is known as lower town
early today was a place of misery. 1t
is here that the vast majority of resi-
dents live and following a night of
anxiety and suffering they faced the
realization that no food was avail
able except what was in their homes.
Many of these homes have been
demolished. Every grocery establish
ment and every meat market in the
city has disappeared in the deluge.
Two dozen dwellings have been
swept away and unless there is a
sudden change in the current many
more will disappear. So far as can
be ascertained there has been no loss
of life.
Communication with towns down
the Black river is impossible, and it
is believed they have been carried
away by the flood. possibly entailing
heavy loss of life.
At Hatfield, ten miles above Black
River Falls, the river cut new chan
mel moving 500 feet on what has
until now. been dry land.
The water has fallen far below the
crest of the dam and the main part
of the structure which was so badly
damaged, is still standing.

10000 Auto Men Haven't Paid Up.

Over twelve thousand automobile
owners in Iowa are delinquent in
paying the state license required to
be paid under the new automobile
tax law.
A force of clerks are now at work
in the Office of Secretary of State
Hayward checking up the list of
those who have not paid their license
fees and received a number plate.
The violations of the state law are
punishable by severe fines. Many
owners, it is believed, are waiting
until January when they will be COM
PEELED to take out new numbers
again, anyhow.
The new numbers will be ready
for delivery some time the middle Of
November. 1t is expected that there
will not be the unusual delay which
occurred this summer when the de-
partment was issuing the numbers
paid for in July.

Railway Grants S12, 900 to Girl.

Little Fern Johnson, sole survivor
of the automobile wreck at Galva,
that ended in the death of her father
and mother and two sisters, is to be
well provided for. The Northwest
ern railroad will settle the case and
while the amount is not known it is
reported that she will receive upward
of 1000.
The accident happened on Aug. 10.
Little Fern has been in st. Joseph s
hospital at Sioux City ever since,
but is getting along nicely now and
is able to be out every day. She was
told last Saturday by the sisters and
her aunt that her father and mother
and sisters were all killed in the ac-
cident at Galva.-Ida Pioneer.

New High School For Mason City.

Mason City, Iowa, Oct Next
Tuesday the voters of this city, male
and female alike, will vote on the
question of bonding the city to the
amount of $4,000 for the erection
of a new high school building. This
has led to the digging up of some
figures. The bonded Indebtedness of
the city for schools is now 100000.
The municipal Indebtedness is $97,-
500. A fire barn to cost $4,000,
two septic sewers costing $40, 900
and water improvements costing
close to $4,000 are now on. The
tax levy last year was 1856 mills
The school board has made an esti-
mate of $72,400 for next years ex-
penses, but the levy has not been
made. Last year it was 1919 mills

EXPLOSION AT POSTVILLE.
Boiler Exploding Blows Building
Into Atoms, But None Are
Injured.

Postville was the scene of a reign
of terror for a few moments yester-
day afternoon about 4:30 o'clock,
when of sudden a deafening deton-
alton punctured the atmosphere and
was promptly followed by a tremb-
ling of the earth that was felt
throughout the entire city. Buildings
shook and windows ratified and tele-
phone bells rang, while practically
the entire populace rushed from their
homes and business places into the
streets wild with terror and for the
moment stricken dumb, believing
that an earthquake was upon them
and they were doomed to 'Frisco's
fearful fate.
Quickly their fears were quoted
by the report that the boiler at
Spaugy's butcher shop had exploded,
and hurrying to the scene witnesse ed
the most awful destruction of prop
erty ever seen in Postville, but
thanks be to God no lives were lost
and no one seriously injured, and it
is nothing short of a miracle that
human life was spared.
The boiler was of 4 horse power,
situated in an SKIP lean-to in the
rear of the shop and when the eXplo-
sion came it was vertically blown to
atoms by the flying pieces of the
boiler. A 14X20 store room addition
to the shop was also demolished, the
sides blown out and the roof falling
in.
Butcher j. A. Spaugy was at the
titanA t;x1or to
of the main building, and not more
than IL feet north of the boiler, with
practically nothing between to screen
him, and while flying fragments tore
out the side of the room he was in,
heaved the floor above him and scat
tered things heller SHELTER about him,
he was unscathed save the skin on
his face being cut by small particles
of flying glass, and is working today
as usual.
Chris. SalZgeber and Peter Beuch-
er We're in the front part of the mar
ket, where the entire front was blown
out and lard pals and pictures filled
the air, but neither were hurt or
scared.
The Gress family live over the
market and the daughter, Miss Mel
vie was preparing supper, when the
cook stove was hurled against her,
giving her severe jolt, but iniuring
her none save a severe nervous
shock. Cupboards were burst open
and overturned and practically every
breakable dish in the kitchen was
broken. Lester Gress, IL years old,
was about half way up the back
stairs with an armful of wood when
the stairs were heaved away from
the building and he was hurled 20
feet against the ice house. badly
bruising one side of his face and
breaking two toes.
Half of the boiler jacket was hurl-
ed through the side of the building
occupied as supply store room by
the Upper Iowa Power Co., breaking
meters and other electrical supplies.
In Dan McNeil's pool room, fifty
feet west, a window was broken and
the pool and billiard balls Jared from
the tables and scattered about the
room.
The cause of the explosion is sup
posed to have been the failure of the
injector to work. The loss will ap-
proximate considerably over $1,000,
and will be total, the insurance not
covering damages from EXPLOSIONS

Miracle ut Mason City.

At Mason City recently, Jessie
Weida, aged y years, was caught in
a water wheel of the Kuppinger mill
and whirled around at the rate of a
hundred revolutions per minute. The
noise of his body pounding against
the floor was heard by men in the
mill above, who shut off the water
Aside from broken arm and badly
bruised leg the boy was not hurt. His
escape is regarded by the mill men as
miracle. He was fishing at the mill
race when his pole fell in. In reach
ing for his pole he fell into the race
and was caught by the big wheel and
carried around.
