to his work in the house. Briefly,
there is recorded no time when he
moved galleries to applause by de-
bate from the floor, or changed any
votes by eloquence. But the statutes
bear marks of his work in committee
and caucus, and the results of his
labors on the rules committee, the in
terstate commerce committee, and
other branches of the machinery Of
the house where the real legislating
is done, while speeches prevail upon
the floor.

THE BOOSTERS
WASASUCCESS
First Trade Special by the
Retail Merchants and the
Other OttumWa Business
Men Made Big Hit.

In special train consisting OF two
coaches and baggage car, about 100
Ottumwa Boosters departed from this
city yesterday morning promptly at
1880 a. m. as per schedule and took
with them the Fifty-fourth regiment
band and Soloist Edward F. Blake.
Cigars and carnations were taken for
favors.
Crowds far beyond most sanguine
expectations greeted the boosters at
every stop and the greetings Of the
neighboring townsmen, many Of whom
were the business men of these places,
was Of the most cordial kind and made
imperative that the first excursion be
not the last one. Speeches by Ottum-
vans all Of which struck popular
chord with the people OF the various
towns visited. were made. These talks
were not Of an antagonistic character,
but rather tended toward cooperation
between the merchants Of southeast
ern Iowa. The tenor of all the talks
was that the people Of the various
towns stand by their own merchants,
but that If there ia anything wanted
that the local merchants have not In
their stocks, then come to Ottumwa,
and do not send to Chicago. St. Louis
or Kansas City, etc. but think first OF
southeastern Iowa merchants at home
and nearby.
Personally Conducted.
The train was personally conducted
by officials of the Milwaukee railroad,
among them being superintendent J..
A. Macdonald Trainmaster H. W..

The former and latter returned on NO.
from Mystic, and Mr.. Druen accom-
panied the excursionists over the en-
tire trip, and did all that could be de-
sired to add to the comfort Of the
boosters. Attention of the merchants
was called to the Dude" train Nos.

the benefit of the merchants of Ottum-

ingly cared for on the trip at both
Mystic and Seymour, where the ladies

served chicken dinners with all the
trimmings that 60 to make chicken

The greetings and disposition of the
merchants associations where such
existed. and of business men and
prominent citizens at all places were
all that could be desired and numer-
GUS lasting friendships were made that
bid fair to cement relations that will
prosper the cooperative spirit of boost
for southeastern Iowa in the near
future.

why you should try Chiropractic spinal

for the following reasons:
1. Nerves regulate and control every
action and function or the body
2. Displacement of vertebrae causes
