Gentlemen: Thinking that perhaps
a short history Of the remarkable re-

sufferers, I give the following testi-
monial: About September 10, 1908, she
was taken sick with Catarrhal Pneu-
monia, and continually grew worse,
requiring trained nurse. Night
sweats were so bad that it was neces-
sary to change her clothing once or
twice every night; her cough in
creased and got so bad that everybody
expected that she would not live
much longer. In January, when Rev.
VIM. Berg of ST. Michael's church, at
Shereville. Ind. prepared for her
/ death, he recommended that get Eek

not give her some relief. l then re-

give his diagnosis and he informed

try the Alternative, he replied that
No physician could help her any and

send for bottle. Practically without
hope for recovery insisted that she
try the Alternative. which she did.

so many improvements are being

very little attention has been paid by
the general public to the vast amount

It has been announced that the com
pany will spend $4,000 in getting
the yards ready to meet the big in
crease Of freight traffic.
A large number of men are employ
ed in the work of laying the new
yards and, until recently, several
trains were carrying dirt to the work
from Wayland, Mo-, but with the land
practically leyeled now, very little
dirt is needed, all the time being
spent to lay the rails and ballast them
properly. Eleven new tracks are
being laid, two of them with capa-
city of 125 cars. With these two
tracks the necessity Of holding up the
work trains and passengers while the
freight engines are on the main line
taking coal and water is overcome. A
clear right Of way can now be main
tanned without interfering with the
passenger and local freight traffic.

tee at Keokuk that Governor Johnson
would speak in Donnellson Monday
morning about nine O'Clock, with the
request that the fact be advertised.
The word was received too late for
the Review Of last week, or we would
have cheerfully given space for the
announcement. Bills were gotten out,
however, and the news spread as
much as possible, and small crowd
gathered. The school children were
given a short holiday and marched
down town to see and hear the gov
ernor, the band was out to furnish in
SEPARATION for the occasion, and Don
nelson people irrespective of politi-
cal affiliations were ready to give
him a welcome.
The train from the east arrived and
with it the word that the governor
did not stop in Fort Madison, from
which place he was to be brought to
Donnellson in an automobile. The
report was that he went right through
to Keokuk. The telephone was
brought into use and this statement
was confirmed by Fort Madison. Keo-
kuk was then called up, but the head
moose of that town was reported abb
sent and no definite information could
b, secured. The band put away their
instruments, the children went back
to school, the people melted away as
by magic and the festive voter will
turn out this fall and vote as usual
the good old republican and democra-
tic tickets.

During the year beginning July a.,
