to Appropriate $1,000 to Erect
Monument.

One of the events Of the celebra-
ton next summer may be the unveil-
ing of a monument at Montrose mark
ing the site of the first white settle
ment in Iowa The legislature will
probably be asked to make an appro-
priation of $1,000 for this purpise.
The project is in the hands Of the
Civic League OF Montrose which or
ganization is also pushing the propo-
sftion for a large park at Mon.rose
fronting on the river. The site Of the
first white settlement, that of Louis
Honore lesson. is also the location
of the first orchard in Iowa and he
state Horticultural Society is favor
ably inclined toward the project.
It is thought that the program Of
asking an appropriation from the
legislature viii meet with much sup
port and the Iowa Historical society
which has expressed so much interest
IN he historical surroundings Of Mont
rose may be asked TO assist 1t is
claimed that Lee county has been the
scene Of more events of real histori-
cal significance than any other coun-
IS in the state.

The Houston Adcraft club. useful
and very necessary organization OF

prosperous condition and has its
pleasing social side with its regular

list of ten names to be presented con
tingent upon an amendment being
adopted to the constitution increasing
the number of directors to eleven, and
4 in the latter case the eleven will be
elected from the entire list of tWent,
names presented.
Among the duties that will fall i'm

Men and Women.
Happiness Impossible While This
Miserable Condition Exists.
RELIEF is AT HAND
New Tonic Is Bringing Health
Back to Many People.

Than Any Other Tonic.

Half sick all the time, no energy

and your stomach out of order, now
can YOU expect to get any happiness
ont of life when in such miserable
state?
You can't, and you won't, until you

ton that is sapping your vitality ana
robbing you of your strength
Physicians know that half the popu-
1ation in the large cities of this coun-
try are today afflicted with nervous de-
bility caused by the wear and tear OF
modern life.
A preparation has been used by Euro
pean physicians to combat this nervous
condition with remarkable success. A
similar preparation ''Tona Vita" was
introduced in this country few
months ago and is making marvellous
record here. 'TOna Vita" is bringing
back health and happiness to thOus-
ands of Iistless, debilitated men and
women. You owe it to your family, you
owe it to yourself to let this wonderful
new tonic build you up. There is no
other medicine like it on earth: one
dose will convince any one of this. If
''Tona Vita" doesn't do more for you
than all the other medicines you have
ever taken, if it doesn't make you hap
pier and healthier and better in every
way, what you pay for it will be re-
turned to YOU by The Arnold Drug
company. 523 Kansas avenue.
Lees Rhubarb Laxative, the assis-
tant remedy, is another great medi-
cine. 1t is a splendid family laxative,
containing the medicinal properties of
rhubarb-nature's own laxative. 1t will
not injure the most delicate constitu-
ton and should be used for children
above everything else. It ic pleasant

SHOE TRUST NEXT.
Fifty Big New England Factories to
Form Combine.

Boston, July 26.-A shoe manufac-
turerS trust, representing the lead
ing shoe manufacturers of the east
WIN soon be an accomplished fact. 1t
- proposed to consolidate into one
company under the title of the Amef.i-
can Standard Shoe company with a
capital of $50,000,0OO, a strong gronn
or the eastern manufacturers selected
LIolI the most successful manufactur-
ers OF New England and New York.
The scheme to effect such a console
dalton has been under consid Grafton
for some time by some of the largest
houses in the trade and is favored by
men who are recognized throughout
New England as leaders in the indus
try.
The proposed consolidation has the
Endorsement of the firm of Brandeis,
Dunbar & Nutter, the senior partner
known as the legal representative of
several of the most successful shoe
manufacturers in New England.
The consolidation proposed will cover
not only the shoe manufacturing inter
ests, but it will also bring within its
scope other allied industries, such as
leather, the manufacturer of general
supplies and lasts. 1t is also proposed
to control the avenues of distribution
to the jobbers and retailers of the
United States.
In the department of manufacture
the proposed consolidation, according
to it's own PLANS, will include approx
imate1y SO factories of varying capac-
ity scattered in 26 cities in four stares
now operated under Individual COM
panies.
A cash working capital of approx
mateIy $2O,00O,000 will be necessary
for the vigorous operation of the con-
solidated company.
1t is proposed to include in the con-
solidation only a small percentage of
500 or more factories located in the
east and to bring into it only those
manufacturers who are recognized for
their progressivenesS and commercial
vigor and who are possessed of big
capital and complete equipment.
The legal phases of the proposed
consolidation have been examined by
counsel and no impediment has been
found to it's consummation.

THEY WANT A WINNER
Fourth District Democrats Pick Man
to Break the HoodoO.

The active, working Democrats of the
Fourth district are alive to the i'm
portance of nominating candidate for
congress who can be elected. Many Of
the Democratic newspapers and the
leading workers in the party say that
it has been demonstrated that the peo-
pie will not elect a candidate who has
been constantly before them and reg
ularly defeated.
Chase county Democrats led in the
movement to get away from this hoo
doc, when they induced Dudley Doc
little, of Strong City to get into the
race. The other counties of the district
have taken it up and Democrats are
turning to Mr.. Doolittle as the man
who can beat Fred Jackson in Novem-
Der.
The Marion Review, in speaking of
this matter says: 1.-The voters simply
will not elect a candidate who has been
running year after year and always de-
feated.''
1t appears that the Democrats of the
Fourth district intend to nominate as
their candidate for congress in August
a man who has not been professional
politician, who has not been peren-
NAL candidate for office and who has
not as his stock in trade a list of de-
feats either in the primary or at the
general election. That is what the active
workers of the party are doing all they
can to nominate Dudley DoolittIe Mr..
