that the shipments to Fairfax are too
heavy to be carried with regular pas.
senger trains. and are hauled with
special trains.
In spite of the long journey, every
one of the fine animals was in perfect
condition, because of the proper care
given during transportation in Europe,
on the ocean and in the United States.
The horses were loaded in cars at
various points in Belgium and France
on September %. On September Is
they were aboard freight ship which
brought them to New York City on
October 12. From New York City to
C dar Rapids, the special train made

OPENING
OF COURT HOUSE.
NEW UNITED STATES LAW TRIR-
UNAL IN orTUMWA FORMALLY
OPENS WITH PROGRAM.

Arrangements for the formal open.
ing of the new United States court
house by the Wapello County Bar as
ISOLATION Monday evening, are well
underway and the committee In charge
is pretty nearly through with the plans
for the function. The opening will be
purely formal and is not of public
character nor does It contemplate the
general opening to the public of the
entire federal building including the
postoffice. The plan of the committee
appointed by President w. H. G.
JaQues of the bar association early In
the year was to give the families OF
the bar association members and
some invited guests of Judge Smith
Mcpherson the opportunity of attend
ing formal opening of the new
United States court house. The size
Of the court room and the of.
ficials' offices, judges chambers, ETC.,
is such that the general public might
not be easily accommodated and thus
it was decided to handle it as a bar
association function entirely.
Speeches by several members of the
bar both local and from abroad, and
by members Of the clergy as we'll, will
make up the program. An orchestra
will discourse music during the even
ing. The decoration Of the court
house will be in charge of Postmaster
F. A. Nimocks, and one Of the decora'
tons Of the new court room will be
picture Of Senator Allison whose bill
made possible the new structure for
Ottumwa,
Capt. Jaques. president OF the bar
association, will preside at the opening
and will make the opening address
He will be followed by several other
speakers whose order of speaking on
the program has not yet been fixed,
but includes the following:
Major j. F. Lacey of Oskaloosa, and
D. W. Hamilton of Sigourney, both OF
whom we're in congress when legisla-
ton looking to new federal building
here was considered; Rev. James
Foley, Rev. T. w. jeffrey, Attorney
William McNett and Attorney e. G.
Moon. Judge Smith Mcpherson of
the United States court will close the
speaking program.

chronic ailment continues the harder
1t becomes to treat. l don't claim to
cure every disease, because / can't
do it. However, do say have cured
many hard cases OF what apparently
