First White Men In Iowa.

1t was 24O years ago, on June %,
1873, that white men first set foot on
Iowa soil. On that day the Indians
living in a village which was probably
located at the mouth of the Iowa river
were surprised to see two men strange
in dress and color approaching along
the river bank. The two men were
Father N arquette, Jesuit priest, and
Louis Joliet, French trader, who had
set out the previous month to discover
and explore the Mississippi river of
which they had heard so much. The
Indians received the strangers kindly
and with great ceremony, and it is of
this meeting that the poet Longfellow
wrote in "Hiawatha" in the incident
of the coming Ct the "Black Robe
Chief" There was feasting and ex-
change of presents and then after a
few days the explorers continued their
journey down the great river.
For many years it was supposed that
this first meeting between.white men
and Indians on Iowa soil occurred near
the mouth of the Des Moines river.
But several years ago in an article
published by tho Statee Historical
Society of Iowa, Prof. L@nas G. Weld
produced evidence which goes to prove
that the Indian village was located at
the mouth of the Iowa river. ~.

We know of no ether medicine which
has been so successful in relieving the
suffering of women, or received so many
genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E..
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In nearly every community you will
find women who have been restored to
health by this famous medicine. Almost
every woman you meet knows of the
great good it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 80 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
many of them state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.

f. Oul Readers.

After reading of so many people in
our town who have been cured by

doubt on this point.
Mrs. Eva Rima, Hively St., Deco

suffered from disordered kidneys.

LINEsMEN POOR COACHES.
Have Had Little Success in Dcveloe

Can lincman make a good head
coach?
This is another question which has
been threshed out since football first
became the real big sport of the col
leges. and is still big topic wherev-
er collegians get To tanning ON form
1t appears rs though the backs have
the call, and many linemen openly
admit that the backs are the only
men who make good as coaches.
For some strange reason it appears
as though a back can coach the line
men with a little assistance from a
good line coach, while il is said that
IL is almost impossible for a lincman
TO coach backs. even though he is as
sisted by good backheld instructors.
Ends should make fairly good
coaches under the present game. us
the ability of these men plays a most
part. while 4 few Centers
have made good. Forward passes, If
worked correctly, prove great assets
to teams offensc, while an end, Il
good, is a master at defensive play.
All of the big college head coaches
arc backs, with the exception of
Ilaughton of Harvard, while the limo
men who act as coaches have proven
failures.

PRESIDENT MURPHY
OF CUBS HAS CLEVER
PLAN TO MAKE MONEY

IL is to be supposed We all like tn

money. although we are not able TO
make II ourselves. In spite of what
people may think of President Muir
ply of the Chicago club. he is always
on the job and always has his eyes
open To turn penny. lie seldom loses
any tricks. Hero is his latest:
some time ago he arranged with
the citizens of Tampa, Fla, whereby
said citizens were to pay the train
ing expenses of the Chicago team i'm
return for the honor of having that
team train at Tampa. That would
seem to be a pretty fair business ar
rdngement on the part of Mr.. Murphy,
but it is now learned that the Chica-
90 magnate has arranged to bring
home a side of bacon as well.
Recently rail and boat connections
have beer made by which enc may go
from Tampa to Havana in quick time.
Murphy has evolved scheme where
by he can slip a team over to Ha-
vana for Sunday games. Games be
tween the Cubs and the two leading
teams of Havana would draw about
$4,000 in two games.
Aside from the money consideration
there is the fine practice To be taken
into account. The Cubans would fight !
their heads off to defeat the Cubs ON |
the whole, Mr.. Murphy must he given |

Those who are strong for "a crew do
not believe that the committee will

but will make a special effort To pro-
