BURIED IN RAILROAD GRADE
Story of Interest Recalled With Re-
building of Railroad Through
Town Of Manning.

Manning, Feb. 19-Over thirty years
ago the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul Railway company built their line
through here and many are the stories
told by the old inhabitants of the bad
characters who were employed in
those days in the grading camps.
Since the company has made a
change in their line through here and
it has been told that the old grade will
be removed, the story of the man
whose body lies in the old grade in
town has been retOld
There is now living a man at Spirit
Lake who claims to have been an eye
witness to the placing of the dead
body in the grade.
1t seems that the man had been in
one of the numerous fights at that
time and had died from the effect of
blows received in melee. His body
was carried to the grade about 200
yards west of the steel bridge and dirt
was then hauled in wheel scrapers and
the body covered.
Many people here are now longing
for the time to come when the old
grade will be destroyed and a search
made for the bones of the unknown
foreigner who has slept the sleep
which knows no waking the past thir-
ty years while train after train has
passed over him.

THE MILWAUKEE At MANNING
Frames for the Big Viaduct Are Com
pIeted-Push Work on the Cut
and the New Depot.

Manning, Feb. 19-Workmen have
been busy the past week loading &C.
ment mixers and lumber used in max
ing frames for the Milwaukee viaduct
here. That part OF the work is COM
pleted and the machinery is being
shipped to the state of Wisconsin,
where the company is going to make
extensive Improvements to their road.
In order to finish the work in one
OF the big cuts west of town it has
been necessary to use dynamite to
break the frozen dirt so the steam
shovel could pick it up. The grade
will be ready at the end of this week
for laying steel.
A force of men arrived this week
to erect temporary supports for the
steel Orders for the big viaduct Work
will be pushed as fast as the weather
will permit.
1t is also planned to start work on
the new passenger depot this week.
The depot will be modern and in keep
! ing with the other improvements the
| Milwaukee is making along its line.
We have waited many years for new
depot and it is gratifying to know that
the company is planning to give US a
depot which we will be proud of.

the animal has pains as though it were
afflicted with collie. The animal will
walk strangely if in an open space
and will try to push through any OBJ
stacle it encounters. In the stable he
will press his head against the stall
or rest it on the manger. Sometimes
he will crowd into corner. The tenn
perature at the beginning OF the dis
ease ranges from 103 to 107 degrees
F., but within twenty-four hours the
temperature falls and eventually be-
comes subnormal. The animal is Of
ten down on the second or third day
and may or may not get up when
urged Death usually occurs in from
four to eight days, although death
may follow within ten hours OF the
first symptoms, while chronic cases
have been known to last for three
weeks. About 80 per cent of the af-
fected animals die.
Treatment Generally Unsatisfactory.
While medical treatment in the vast
majority of cases has not brought re-
suits. nevertheless if it is used at all
it must be prompt and before the dis
ease has had time to run. The di-
gestive tract should be cleaned out
thoroughly at once. Active and con-
centrated remedies should be given
Afflicted animals, however, have great
difficulty in swallowing Immediately
edies must generally be given by in
lection. Arecolin in One-half grain
doses, simultaneously, has given good
results as a purgative. Early in the
disease urotropin in doses OF Is grains
dissolved in water and given by the
mouth every two hours, appears to
have been responsible for the recov-
cry of some cases of the malady.
After the animal has been purged.
the treatment varies according to the
symptoms The following measures
have been recommended:
The first and most important: Feed
only clean we'll cured forage and
grain, and pure water.
Calomel, salol and salicylic acid to
disinfect intestines.
Mild antiseptic mouth washes are
advisable.
Copious cold water injections, if the
temperature is high. give better re-
suits that antipyretics.
An ice pack applied to the head is
beneficial in the case of marked nerv-
GUS disorder.
One ounce doses of choral hydrate
per rectum should be given if the pat
lent is violent or muscular spasms are
severe.
If the temperature becomes sub
normal the animal should be warmly
blanketed.
If much weakness is shown, this
should be combated with stimulants,
such as strychnine, camphor, alcohol,
atropin or aromatic spirits Of am
monia.
During convalescence the usual ton
ic treatment is recommended.

LENTEN SEASON
STARTS TODAY
For Forty Days, Not Counting Sunday,
There Will Be Pause in
Human Festivity.
FINAL DAYS IN LIFE OF CHRIST
Men and Women in All the Christian
World Should Observe Lent and
Make Some Sacrifice

One who has consulted the altman
nae with care and is well informed
regarding the movable feasts, writes
as follows:
ash Wednesday, which this year
falls on February 25 marks the be-
ginning of the Lenten season. and is
the date from which for forty days.
not counting Sundays, there is pause
| in the round of human festivity and
in some sort of giving up CT the mere
pleasures Of life. Unlike the New
Year, Lent carries with it something
more than merely human desire or
resolve to do good or to make sacri-
| fee; since it is religious and not
merely a secular date, and is COM
memorative of those final days in the
life of Christ, and OF the great sacri-
flee. Under such circumstances it is
not strange that men and women in a
Christian world should observe Lent
or that they should abate lite the
pleasures of this world in contempla-
ton of the sacrifice which was in every
truth that far-otf, divine event to-
ward which whole creation moved
"In 1913 the date of Ash Wednes-
day was twenty days earlier than this
year, and Tor this reas n the Easter
date was on March 49, instead of
April IL, as it is this year Easter
is, in fact, movable feast instead
of fixed one, as is Christmas; and
was made permantly so by the de-
cree of the council of Nicea, which
ordained that the observance Of Easter
should be on the first Sunday follow
ing the date of the vernal equinox.
which is March 81. The latest date
on which Easter might fall is April
rs. so that there are in all thirty-tive
possible dates for its observance. In
fact, the Easter date comes from the
Jewish Passover, with which it is
intimately connected in the biblical
story and which occurs on the Satur-
day preceding Easter-this year April
II. In the Greek and Russian calen
dar the actual date being fixed by the
equinox, is the same as in the Gregor-
ian, but in the almanac of these
churcnes it is given as March &c.
which is the difference between the
new style calendar which we use
and the Julian or old style which in
all countries where the Greek is the
national church remains.
I'm the year 1915 Easter will fall
on April 4, in 1916 on April %, in
1917 on April s, in 1918 on March 2S,
in 1919 on April 20 and in 1920 on
April 4 again. Not since 1918 has it
come so early as March II, and not
| until 1910 will II cOro OF Anrii
%. No person now .lving, or his son
or daughter, is likely again to see
an Easter as early as March %. since
there will be no such Easter date
until after the year 1000"

GREENE COUNTY
SPENDS $4,000
Lincoln Highway Across Greene
County, Iowa, Will Be Grade
Twenty-Six Feet Wide.
SUPERVISORS FURNISH $15,ooo.o c
Four Miles of Grade Have Already
Been Awarded to Contractor
at $3.50 Per Mile.

Greene county people are certainly
boosters when it comes to the matter
Of building good roads and the people
there are doing big things for the Lin
coin highway through their county
The Jefferson Bee in it's last issue
gives some interesting information as
to what Greene county will do this
this year, which will be of interest to
readers Of this paper:
''The Lincoln highway through
Greene county will have 100000 spent
upon it during the present year. 1t is
estimated that this sum will build a
grade Is feet wide and of proper grad
lent and slopes to meet the require
ments OF the county engineer and the
state highway commission clear across

manent road grade, of the railroad
type, with proper drainage-a founda-
ton for a hard surfaced road for all
time to come. The only hill Of any
consequence in the county will be that
just west of the Coon river, heretofore
known as danger hill.
''Of this $4,000 the board of super
visors on Monday agreed to furnish
$4,000 out of their county road funds ;
the remaining $4,000 to be furnished
by the Greene County Lincoln High
way association, whose subscription
lists for this purpose were opened
last fall.
"a committee representing the Lin
coin Highway association in Greene
county appeared before the board re-
Gently and put up this proposition in
definite form 1t was argued that
$4,000 was somewhat more than this
particular piece of road is entitled to

money to go with the county funds en-
titled the road to special considera-

is stated in the following official rec
ord:
GA committee representing the
Lincoln Highway association appeared
before the board of supervisors and
asked that the board grade and place

county engineer the LlncOln highway

Moss, seconded by Fuhrmeister that

agree to expend $4,000 on said Lin

THE CHEAPEST ADVERTISING

! "a newspaper advertisement strik-
es the eye the moment the sheet is
opened" says w. l.. Douglas, the big
shoe man, who spends about 100000
annually in newspaper advertising.
/ He says furthur that that very fact
is the reason he chooses the news
paper rather than any other advertis-
| ing medium. This is one very good
| reason why newspaper advertising is
the cheapest regardless of price.
Let us look at different kinds of ad-
vertising, such as personal solicita-
| ton and personal letter writing and
see how they compare with newspaper
advertising. We do not refer to cir
cular letters, bills, ETC., because from
| the standpoint Of the local merchants
these only act as an auxiliary or rein
forcement OF newspaper advertising,
and successful advertisers only regard
them as such. But personal solicita-
ton by the local merchant and writing
prospective customers personal let
ters to compete with newspaper ad-
vertising.
Personal solicitation and personal
letter writing are very expensive to
the local merchant, in fact so eXpen-
sive, as to be practically prohibitive.
Take personal letter writing as an
illustration, and we take this as an
illustration because it is far cheaper
than personal solicitation. The right
kind of a $500 az put in a paper with
1900 circulation would be read by
10000 people. Same substance put
into a letter, each letter typewriter,
mailed under two cent stamped en-
velope, addressed and sealed as per-
sonal letters must be, and sent to
10000 people would cost 5000 for post
age stamps, and 500 extra for print
ing envelopes and letter heads, stem
ographer to write letters and address
envelopes, etc., making total of
over $780, And the cost to personally
solicit the 10000 people would be
something enormous.
Newspapers are run for the adver-
tiser. All other items of information
are put in to make the paper popular
and sell the paper. This fact alone
makes the newspaper advertising the
cheapest advertising.

NEW CHURCH AT kIRON
More Than $4,000 Already Subscribed
for New Edifice-Congregation
to Purchase Bell.

Kiron, Feb. 1S-The new Mission
church building is now an assured
thing and the committee in charge
has not only selected plans for the
new edifice, but is arranging for the
purchase of a fairly large bell.
This is one of Pastor Irwin Johnson S
little hobbies. He is strongly in fay
or of church bells for every reason and
will be proud young man on the
Sunday morning when the bell first
tolls the call to his church.
Already more than $4,000 of the mon
ey required for the new building has
been pledged and there are many
whom the committee has not yet seen
who will assist this project.
The sale of the church and the con
tributiOn yet to be received are ex-
pected to bring in much more than
the required $4,000.
Building operations will be begun
as soon as the spring weather makes
it advisable to do so.
Thus it is now an assured fact that
Kiron will be given this very substan-
tial improvement this coming spring.
