TO INSPECT BRIDGES
Victor Lisbig Selected BY Supervisors
to Inspect conorete Bridge Building
Work-sunpsrvisors Also to b On
the Job.

Partly on account of criticism, and
partly for the reason that they intend
to be more particular to see that new
concrete bridges are built according to
specifications. the supervisors are to
have an inspector on the job. They
likewise intent to give the bridge work
more of their individual personal at
tention.
With these purposes In mind the SUI
pervisors Friday afternoon selected
Victor Liebig, Of this city. to be In
spector Of bridges. He is to be on the
work when the concrete bridges to be
built this season are being erected. His
pay was fixed at - a day for the actu-
al days put in on the work. Liebig Is
to be under the direct supervision OF
f. B. Zines, chairman Of the bridge
committee. Zines and Keen voted for
Liebig's appointment. but Maytag
voted no.
The supervisors intend to visit the
work as often as they can to give their
personal attention to what the con-
tractor is doing. Victor Liebig has
been guard Of the stone pile and has
charge Of the "vags' who have been
shoveling the court house walks this
winter. The supervisors will not have
the stone pile guarded after April 20,
and this method Of working the pris-
oners will probably be discontinued
after that date.

even if it took my life, but l was
miserable sufferer from heart trouble
and nervous prostration for four years.
Il was scarcely able to be around at
all. Had no energy and did not care
for anything. Was emaciated and had
a constant pain around my heart until
thought I could not endure it. I felt
as tho I was liable to die any time.
Frequently had nervous chills and
the least excitement would drive sleep
away and any little noise would upset
me terribly. I was gradually getting
worse until finally, one day, it came
over me and asked myself what is the
use of being sick all the time and buy
ing medicine so that I could indulge
myself in coffee?
$50 thought I would see II could
quit drinking coffee. and got some
Postum to help me quit. made it
strictly according to directions and I
want to tell you that change was the

The Subject Of the Sermon Of Dr..
MckaIs at the Trinity
Methodist
Church.
THE INTEREST GROWING
A Large Congregation Present at the
Religious Services Last
Nlsht-A New
Life.

The meetings at the Trinity Metho-
dist Episcopal Church are still COD
tinued with increasing interest and
have resulted in quite an awakening
among those brought under their in
fluence. Each evening there is a
clear and instructive presentation of
Bible truth which has drawn many
to dedicate themselves to God and the
cause of righteousness. A new life.
too, seems to have taken a hold on
the church membership. The meet
ings will be continued this evening,
the services to begin at 7:45 o'clock.
1t was splendid and most appro-
pirate sermon preached last night
by DR. Mckaig to q very large and
attentive audience on the new heart,
using as his subject, "a Heart Made
Right With God" Dr. McKaig is an
entertaining as well as a logical and
convincing speaker. He said what the
natural heart was to the body, the
center of all life, SO was the heart
mentioned in scripture the center OF
the spiritual life. All evil as well as
/ all good centers in the heart.
The right kind of heart is an
obedient heart, forgiving heart, q
pure heart and a loving heart. Out
of the heart are issues of life. In ar
age like this, SO taken UP with the
things of this world, it is refreshing
to listen to a servant of God, who has
become familiar with the language Of
the Spirit, and translates it to ma
terialistic age.
DR.. McKaig from a long experience
in prominent churches, has become
familiar with all of the different prob
lens of the pastorate. and adapts hi'
messages to the needs of the hour
Dead issues, or dead theology has nj
place in his ministry.

ADJUSTMENTS.

"The swan and the skyIark.'
II has always been the policy of the
Monday Music club to give the public
nothing but the best; and that at as
low a price as is CONSTANT with its
expenses. Next Thursday night there
will be presented by the Monday Music
Club chorus what the club members
believe will be one OF the finest con
certs in the history Of the club, or, In
deed, of the city. AS every one knows.
the music club is not in the business
to make money. Ii expenses are COW
cred the members are satisfied. The
expense Of presenting three or four OF
the most eminent soloists in the coun-
try on one program is heavy, and the
opportunity OF hearing them for dol
lar. in connection with chorus OF
ninety voices under one of the best
conductors in the west Is, to say the
least. unusual. The rendition OF any
work by the chorus requires an organ,
nance the music club must depend on
some one of the churches. In this in
stance the Congregational church has
very kindly offered its auditorium. but
the concert which will be given there
;s in no degree the usual church enter
tainment. but one which is worth
much more than is being charged for
Iit. and. were 1t given in the opera
house. would, on account of the higher

cital by the artists. There will be an

Men and Religion Forward Movement
Workers Seek Change in Statutes
Governing Penal
servitude.
h TO ESTABLISH FARMS
Scores Of "Bums'' Live OF Lee coun-
ty Every Year, and Present
Plan Would Remove This
Cost.

A state wide campaign to bring
about a change in the statutes govern
ing penal servitude will be inaugural
ed by the Men and Religion Forward
Movement workers. It Is proposed to
establish from three to five farm col
onies or Industrial work houses, for
the detention Of offenders. This pro.
ject has long been advocated by GER
tain police judges who recognize the
uselesness OF sending plain DRINKS
to Jail, time after time. Now the re-
|ligious workers are following the pro-
posal Of the magistrates.
At Des Moines the movement is
meeting with enthusiasm, and condi-
tons in the jail there are said to have
been intolerable. Hundreds Of priso-
ners have been in idleness In the years
past, and the same has been the case
at other large centers, notably Burline
ton.
Scores OF BUNS have lived off the
county and il the records are exam
lined the tax payers would no doubt
be astcnished at the cost to Lee coun-
/ y, say in the last fifteen years. for
keeping these men. Arguments OF this
kind are being used by the men inter
ested In the religion and forward
movement who are back Of the farm
colonies plan.
Members of the county board have
Expressed favorable opinions toward
la workhouse, said the Rev. J. w
Graves of Des MoiKes. I'VE feel GER
tain that the campaign We are start
ling will result in Polk county getting
a workhouse.
MEMS clubs and church organiza
lions throughout the state will be
asked to cooperate with us in this
movement. All we need do is Impress
upon the legislators the need for sucf
institutions. The expense of caring fol
the criminal class for a year in THU
county, without cent return to thu
county, will show the need for legisla
ton"

a test is to be made within few days
of the water works company. If so |
think this an inopnortune time to
make such a test for the reason that
the pipes are full of frost and any
