Audience.

Mrs. Daniel Shepardson was
greeted by a splendid audience Fri

her final lecture-"The Home of the

hibits, her beautiful costume, and a
lecture filled with information ex-
pressed in her interesting way made
it great treat to those present. She
dispelled a great deal of the prevail
ing ignorance regarding conditions
in the Orient. Many conceive of
those countries as being places of
poverty and ignorance. Mrs. Shep-
ardson has presented the real facts
of the situation. There is poverty
and ignorance, but there Is also Gull
ture and refinement equal to that of
our own country. II they have SUI

CANDIDATES ARE
IN CIRCULATION
According to Jewell Paper There
are to be Lively Times
Next Spring.

Jewell Record: w. H. Cunning
ham has the honor of being the first
candidate to hand out cards in
Jewell. Mr.. Cunningham was in
town Thursday and handed out
cards, cigars and hand shakes with
profigate nberality. Mr.. Cunning
ham is a candidate for sheriff and
there are no offs" about his candid
acy. "Bilr' is in the field to stay.
He was a candidate four years ago
against Charley Brown and profits
by the acquaintance and favorable
impression he made at that time
among the voters of the county.
Other possibilities for sheriff that
are being mentioned are H. l.
Thompson, B. F. Nickerson, w. j.
Monroe, and Truman johnson, all Of
Webster City. Peter Hove Of Stan
hope is also said to be seriously con-
sidering making the race, and If he
enters will profit by a widespread
acquaintance throughout the coun-
ty. fs
Mrs. VIII F. Smith, of Webster
City, has sent ont letters over the
county in an effort to ascertain
whether or not there is a sufficiently
strong sentiment to warrant her en-
tering the race for recorder. Mrs.
Smith is very apt to be in the race,
in fact Is said to be already making
an active canvass in Webster City.
Erick Lecksell of Webster township
is considering trying for the record
ership and the present incumbent,
Miss Hunt, may run again.
Auditor Peterson and Superin-
tendent Snow are not apt to have
opposition. Mr.. Peterson especially
is entitled to another term. He has
made signally good in a difficult Of
fee. the really most important and
responsible in the court house, barr
ing the supervisors who divide with
him the responsibility Of conducting
the business Of the county.
For treasurer the present incum-
bent, Frank Hamilton, is reported as
being candidate again. He has al
ready served two terms. w. o. Nc
Cornell is a possible candidate. Sew
eral Webster City. politicians have
urged either E. w. Knudson or Carl
P Miller to enter the race for the
treasurership, but neither wants the
job. Howard Baxter, Of Webster
City, is also said to be a candidate
for treasurer. His candidacy is apt
to get favorable reception in this
vicinity.
w. J. Monroe was down from
Webster City yesterday handing out
cigars and cards announcing the
fact that he is q candidate for sher-
if. Monroe is definitely in the field
and the Monroe Doctrine" seems to
be that he wants the votes.

Neglect of Health.

Eds. Freeman-Tribune: 1t seems
strange that people, the majority
OF whom reveal such unmistakable
proof of their business capacity and
good sense in the management OF
their secular affairs, should show so
little interest in the observance OF
laws respecting their health. We
may be wrong, but it is our candid
opinion that If the people OF this
country, both men and women,
would show one-half the interest in
cultivating good sound physical
development that many Of our Iowa
farmers do in the breeding and care
of their blooded stock, the various
diseases that affiict humanity would
become so reduced in number that
the medical fraternity would have to
turn their attention to some other
form of industry to get living. But
as long as the present ratio OF physi-
cal ailments Is sustained they have
no reason to feel the least concerned
regarding their business. Step into
most any OF these healing resorts Oh
a pleasant day, and 1t would be a
rare occurrence that one did not find
from one to half a dozen people OF
both sexes sitting around the room,
in various stages Of physical disa-
bility, patiently waiting their turns
to be plunged into the medical pool
to be cured Of their inf1rmities. It
would seem, In view OF what a SER
ious impediment Ill health is to any
one in carrying out life's plans and
purposes. 1t would be the very high
est ambition OF every intelligent
person to faithfully observe every
law governing the growth, the de-
velopment and care OF their mortal
bodies, and. were they not blinded
by the glamour Of wealth, we believe
they would more generally recognize
the Importance of doing this. All
must concede the fact that we are
living in an age when nearly every
thing that engages the attention OF
the business world must be conduct
ed on the very highest pressure
principle, and the result is thous-
ands of our people, unable to with
stand the terrible strain to which
they are subjected, are broken
down physical wrecks at period in
life when they should be in the full
vigor OF manhood's strength. But
lecturing the people on the necessity
OF a more careful observance OF ma
lures laws Will avail but little. so
long as they continue to regard the
acquisition OF wealth Of such para
mount importance to every other
consideration. Money must be OBJ
tanned from some source or other,

II. r Jacobs, formerly of the firm
of Jacobs Brothers OF this city, was
somewhat surprised and amused
yesterday afternoon by an anonym-
GUS letter received by him. The
letter contained fifty cents in stamps
and stated that the writer had sent
them in payment OF candy stolen
from the Jacobs store some eight
years ago.

Prosperity in Evidence.

Williams Wasp: Reports come
from all sections OF the county tell
ing Of the many new residences
that are being planned and built.
Especially the farmers throughout
the country are making great Inn
provements about their farms. They
are taking pride in fixing up their
homes to make them more citified.
1t is as pleasant to live on the farm
In this county as In town. The
farmer has his house built with all
modern conveniences attached, he
has his automobile and can come to
town any time of the day and get
back without losing any time.
The general appearance of the
country is prosperous looking. Who
has better right to prosperity than

New Providence Team Deal Out De-

Place by Score Of
81 to IS.
GAME WAS ROUGH BUT FAST

provement Since Last Hook
ing up With Locals.


local high school and the New
Providence academy team Friday
night In New Providence resulted in
q victory for the latter by the score
of 81 to 35. This contest Is the
second of the present season be-
tween the two teams. In their last
game the locals won by large mar
gin. In that contest the New Prov
idence men were played completely
OFF their feet and could do nothing
against the attack of the home boys.
However, the game of Friday night
was very different affair.
The result of the first twenty min
utes play was 16 to IL in favor of
New Providence. This half was
very rough-the academy men put
ting their bulk and strength against
the team work Of the local boys. The
first few minutes of play resulted in
two baskets for the home boys, one
by Berggren and one by Talcott.
Then one OF the New Providence
men registered with a goal. In this
manner they went through the con-
test with the counts about even at
all times. The local men say they
were handicapped to some extent, In
asmuch as the room in which they
played was so much smaller than
any other place where they have
played.
For New Providence, Henshaw,
the forward who played almost the
whole game for them when they
were here, played head and should
ters above his team mates Friday ev-
ening. However, the entire New
Providence team showed up in very
good form. ,For the locals, Berg
gren kept his eye on the baskets and
made his share Of the scores. Tai

Meller and Mckee. the two guards,
played their usual defensive game.
France, the tall center, did some
very good work and threw some very
hard goals. The team returned
home Saturday noon.
This will probably be the last
meeting between these schools. ow-
ing to the rather cheap treatment
received from athletic society Of that
school. 1t is the rule OF all athletic
associations that the team playing
at home shall pay the expense Of the
visiting team. When the locals got
through playing 1t was too late for
them to reach The night train for
this city and they were forced to
stay in that place over night. How
ever. this was expected. Next morn
ing one of the academy athletic as
ISOLATION came to the house in which
the boys were staying and told them
they would have to pay for their
own meals. This sort OF hospitality
is something altogether new to the
home men. Considering the fact
that they had to pay for the keep
Of the New Providence team when
they met in this city they did not
like it very we'll. 1t is the first time
since the local high have entered
athletics that such treatment has
been handed out.

THE PEEvlSH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When a child sulks drowsily. or IL

disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative is very often all that Is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy Of spirits.
In cases where the use Of gentle,
effective laxative stimulant is indi-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. Caidwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
" the perfect laxative, being mild. yet
positive In It's action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t II very
pleasant to the taste and Is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. Its easy,
natural action makes It especially de-
sirable in the case OF children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning. with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
