"Well, this is my first visit to the
city, and before l left home my

or Brlghts disease. The best remedy
to u Sc is Dosn's Kidney Pills IL cures
all Ills which are caused by W. ak or
diseased kidneys. Residents of this
vicinity are constantly testifying to

W. E. Watson, Washington St.
Elkton, KY, says" Kidney trouble
bothered me great deal for five or
six years. There was a constant ache
in my back at night which prevented
me from sleeping well and when l
arose in the morning, was very lame
and stiff. Headaches and dizzy spells
were common and | was nervous at
times. The kidney secretions were
too frequent in passage, especially at
night and was obliged to arise sew
earl times. At last it was my good
fortune to hear of Doan's Kidney
Pills and | procured a supply. They
relieved me at once and the contents
of one box completely cured me.

SALT WATER AS eERMIcIDE.

At Seattle DR.. Crichton has Or
dered the use of Puget sound sea wa
ter to lay the dust and flush the
streets. "Salt water is one of the
best germicides in the world" says
DR.. Crichton. "Sea water contains
several grains Of chloride Of sodium
to the gallon and within a few days
the city's streets will become white
with sodium chloride and the action
of the suns rays on this will pro-
duce chlorine gas, one of the very
best disinfectants known 10 sci

WISE WARNING.

Miss Ellen Terry, at farewell

of young actresses little lecture on

Concerning modesty in advertise

Don't let your press agent hide

Uncle Bob Bowsher received a
painful burn on his left arm at De-
catur City Tuesday afternoon while
assisting in putting in water in the
autos which made the Chautauqua
boosting trip. AS he took the cap off
of the water tank on one of the cars
which had become heated the boiling
water spurted out in a stream and
struck him on the arm, burning sew
eral large blisters which will make
a pretty sore arm.

C. B. Talbot, who has been buy
ing grain and seed at Garden Grove
the past week, tells us that Clarence
MAGELLAN, of near Garden Grove,
sold him 4S bushels of timothy seed

meadow. He received $3.50 per bu-
shell, so that the seed brought him
S44 per acre. A farmer near Cam
bria named Price sold nearly $4,000
worth of timothy seed and before he
headed it he said he did not think
it wouldn't pay him to cut it.

T. E. WEIGH, a prominent breeder
Of fine hogs and cattle and an ex-

able to find farm to suit him, for he
has reputation among the fine stock
men of the state as one of the best
breeders in Iowa. Decatur county

locate here Mr.. Welch will be given
a cordial welcome.
