CONFISCATED BEER DUMPED.
Was Taken in Raid Made on Joints
at Clear Lake Last July.

Mason City, Ia, Nov. 10.-On
the 4th of last July the Sheriff of
Cerro Gordo county, his deputy,
and a strong brace from the Mason
City police force made raid on
the beer joints at Clear Lake, and
in one hotel secured beer to the
value of $3.50. This with other
seizures, was held until today when
company of beer-proof individuals
was selected to make the destruc-
ton complete. Drays hauled the
kegs, cases and barrels to the banks
of Lime Creek and there bottle by
bottle they were dashed against the
bluffs until the river fairly ran with
beer. Possibly $500 worth of the
liquid was in this manner put out
of circulation, while thirsty indivi-
duals gathered on the brow of the
stream eXclaiming: What a
shame!"

REMARKABLE CORN YIELD.
Tract i'm Ackley Produces at Rate
of Nearly 200 Bushels
Per Acre.

Mr.. Grundy Nicklas, truck
farmer residing in the suburbs of
Ackley, Hardin county, claims 10
be the champion corn raiser of that
part of the state, as he has just
harvested a crop that went 1872
bushels to the acre. This is no fish
story. Mr.. Nicklas having plenty
of witnesses of his harvesting, who
can testify to his unusual crop.
The corn was drilled in, the hills
foot apart and after going
through the field once with a horse
cultivator he did the work with
hoe. He had just seventy-four
square rods planted and this patch
yielded him SO bushels and it is
good corn. The land has not had
bit of fertilizer in five years and
he has rotated mis- crop of corn with
potatoes. 1t certainly is remark
able example OF intensive farming.

KEEP YOUTHS AT HOME.
Cedar Falls Boosters Behind Tn
usual Appeal to Citizens.

Cedar Falls, Ia, Nov. 10.-Stop
the tide of efficient and capable
young manhood that is flowing
steadily each year to the big cities.
This is the slogan the Cedar
Falls Commercial club has adopt
ed in a campaign to conserve It's
desirable citizens. Realizing that
the towns of 5000 to 10000 are
drained of their best blood by the
big cities, the local commercial
body has set about devising ways
and means to overcome the handi-
cap in the case of Cedar Falls. 1t
believes it has found the remedy.
The club now is considering
plans to give every youth an incen-
tive to put forth his best effort in
behalf of Cedar Falls. The princi-
pie which the club expects to fol-
low is to furnish entertainment for
the young man.
The club proposes to organize a
stock company for the purpose OF
building permanent home for the
commercial body, one of some pre-
tentionS, and at the same time
make membership in the club so
attractive that practically every
male resident will become MEM
Der. 1t is proposed to equip the
new building with a fully appoint
ed gymnasium, a swimming pool, a
bowling alley and a library.
The scheme still is in the forma-
tive stage. but it has the indorse-
ment of the best men of the city.

Building Completely Wiped Out by
Flames. Temporary Structure
Erected Next Day.

Last Wednesday evening at
about 5:45 fire broke out in the
Depot Hotel oil room, and in a very
brief time was completely destroy
ed, also the lunch room, baggage
and express rooms to the west OF
it.
The fire companies responded
promptly but when the hose was
attached to the water works II was
found that there was not sufficient
pressure to throw any water, there
being no water tank to furnish
pressure. work on the new tank
having been begun just two days
before. BY this time the fire was
burning so fiercely that nothing
could be done but let it burn, ana

gan a hard fight with buckets 10

Kaye property and the Rehwlnkle
property were afire several times
but by persistent and hard WORK
the buildings were saved. Even
in the block across the street con-
slant vigil was needed TO keep the
sparks from doing damage.
There was many a blistered face
and scorched hats and coats.
1t was extremely dangerous for
time to be near the scene OF the
fire, as there were several eXplo-
sions and a number OF cartridges
were in the fire and were discharg-
ed by the heat 1t was like being
exposed to the fire of an entrench-
ed enemy.
The place fortunately had no
guests as it was no longer used as
hotel, but as a depot only, and
sleeping rooms for those employ
ed in the Interstate News Company
lunch rooms.
Mr.. Howell who is in charge OF
the interstate business here, says
the fire started in the oil room, ne
thinks from a lamp explosion.
Next morning there was a force
of men at work clearing away the
wreckage, putting up a temporary
ticket office, waiting and baggage
rooms and by night they had
building up and enclosed, and to-
day is ready to be occupied.

the owner of the property yet from

AN INCESSANT Cough.
Continued Dropping of Mucus
into my Throat.

A severe cough is always a grave
symptom. 1t may not indicate Or
ranic disease of the lungs. Even
though the cough is a functional dis
turbance 1t is of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping of mucus from the
back part of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on a long time before the
patient pays any attention TO it. 1t
is stated on good authority that mu-
Gus dropping into the throat in this
way is apt TO excite catarrh of the
stomach. At any rate. the condition
ought to be corrected as soon as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bourland, of Frankston, Texas,
found after using Peruna that not
only did the incessant cough disap-
pear, but the dropping of mucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read
what she says:
For twenty-three years I was a
constant sufferer from chronic ca
tarrh. had severe misery and
burning in the top Of my head. There
was almost a continual dropping of
nucus into my throat. which caused
frequent expectoration. My entire
system gradually became involved.
and my condition grew worse. had
an incessant cough and frequent at
tacks Of bilious collie. from which 1t
seemed could not recover. My
bowels also became affected, causing
alarming attacks Of hemorrhages.
II tried many remedies. which gave
only temporary relief. or no relief at
all. ] at last tried Peruna. and In
three days was relieved Of the bowel
arrangement. After using Ave bottles

II most cheerfully recommend the
use Of Peruna to any one similarly
afflicted"

\ SHOPPING DOG.
Trots Soberly Into the Meat shop
and Waits Until Butcher Gives
Him Package.

Hampton, Nov. 10.-Dan Hamp-
tons smartest dog, has transferred
his trade from the w. T. o. Rule
meat market to Charles Chadima S.
Dan is in the habit of each day buy
ing nickel's worth of meat for
himself at the market. He trots
soberly into the shop and waits I'M
til the butcher gives him the pack
age of meat before he will relin-
quish his nickel. The other day
when Dan was in Rules market,
where he has always traded, Mr..
Rule accidently spilled some boil
ing water on The dog burning him
severely. Dams feelings were ire
parably injured and he now refu-
ses to go into the market where the
accident happened, but makes daily
trips to Chadima's shop for his
meat.
His master, Marshal Alec Hasler,
coaXed him into the Rule market,
one day since Dan acquired his
grievance there, pried the nickel
from the dogs mouth and offere,
him some meat. Dams nose went
into the air, with naughty pride.
He would not deign to bestow up
on the tempting bones so much as
a glance.
The dog is known by all of the
travelling men who pass through
this city, for each one of them has
felt his appealing brown eyes upon
him if he jingled coin in his poe
kets. Dan has a profound fondness
for nickles and begs from anyone
who displays money.

Some Fast Driving.

Talk about fast automobile driv-
ing. Here is a stunt that is said
to have been pulled off one evening
last week, says the Merrill Record.
A young Merrillite started big
flock of ducks about four miles
south of town. He saw that they
were trying for the river near here,
so he started his machine full speed
so as TO reach home and get his gun
TO take shot at them as they few
over. The ducks beat him little
but the pace was SO terrific that
they were completely tired out and
essayed TO take a little rest in the
river east of town. The automobil-
list sneaked up on them and killed
four, so ii is said That was a mean
revenge, wasn't it?

And the brooks a-laughin', laugh

their brown arms full o

And there's somethin' in the color

With the hazy hangin' distance,

NORD|CA SOON
 ID APPEAR HERE
Great Artiste Will Make Initial Bow to Phoenix Audience on Friday, March ' at the Elks Opera House

The announcement that Mime. Lillian Nordica. one of the worlds greatest singers, is to he heard in concert here has been received with unbounded pleasure. Queenly in appearance, Nor dica is a queen in the realm of song and it is unnecessary to repeat in print her triumphs. Great as Brunhilde, as Elsa and other equally magnificent roles, no singer has equalled her in the affections of the opera loving pub- lie, and her success in concert both in America and abroad has been note worthy
 So great an actress is Nordca and so strong is her dramatic temperament, that unlike the majority of operatic stars. she shines as brilliantly on the concert platform on the operatic stage. Even without footlights. the stage setting or the costume of the role, she yet brings the whole scene vividly before her auditors. No one could listen to Nordca'S singing of "Elsa's Dream" without seeing her as Elsa" for the time being, so strong and compelling are her art and person. ality.
 The diva is also one of the greatest students of song literature in the world and therefore her concert programs are widely varied. and as Nordca is an enthusiastic advocate of opera in Eng fish, the majority of her selections are in English. In fact. Nordica was the first to attempt singing Wagner in English.
 The Nordica concert will be given at the Elks Theater on Friday evening March 7th. The diva will be assisted by Rummel, the vioinist and Romayne Simmons. pianist. The seat sale will open Monday Feb. 4. 10 A. NJ at Rede- will Music Co

 Among the latest returns, We note that of A. J Brownsberger and fam fly who left about two years ago. and went to California. but have not come back to Glendale to live and have purchased an eighty acre ranch three miles east of town
 We are always glad to welcome back those who have wandered away in search of a better place and failed to find it, for in all probability they did considerable missionary work while away
