Nauvoo the forepart of the week, but
as nothing has been done to bring the
matter to light 1t may be hushedr,
which, under the circumstances is
better for the parties concerned.
Mrs. VIM. Parker Of Fairfield, Ia,
had the misfortune to fall and break
several bones In one Of her limos.
Mrs. Parker was formerly Miss Rose
Hemmy OF Nauvoo. ar many friends
here are sorry to hear of her misfor-
tune.
Several drummers who were com
PEELED to come to Nauvoo last Tues
day to visit customers had to drive
overland from FIT. Madison on ac-
count of the choppy Ice on Lake
Cooper
Chas. Welter was in st. Louis the
past week on business.
The city council met last Monday
eWsning to consult with several
gentlemen in regard to the leasing
or purchasing Of the Nauvoo rock
quarries. No definite conclusion was
arrived at and all interested are TAX
ing furthsr time to consider the best
course to pursue.
In 1878 it was said that many
farmers would kill their hogs in the
early fall as it would not pay to feed
corn worth % a barrel to hogs that

much time in picking their husbands
as they do In choosing their hats, mar

attractive as millinery.

WOMEN VOLUNTEERS.

In stress and trouble the women If
a nation are always to be counted
upon. In Servia the women went to
the front with muskets in their hands;
they were as strong and brave as the
men on the firing line. In this country
few of our women escape the weaken
ing troubles peculiar to their sex.
For every disease or ailment Of Il
Womanly character, no matter how re-
cent or how long standing, the one
sure. reliable remedy of proved merit
is DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescription.
1t is prepared from natures roots
and herbs and does not contain a
particle of alcohol or any narcotic It's
not a secret prescription for its in
gradients are printed on the wrapper.
Women are earnestly advised to take
it for irregular or painful periods,
backache headache, displacement, "a
tarrhal condition, hot flashes, sallow
complexion and nervousness.
For girls about to enter woman
hood, women about to become mothers
and for the changing days of middle
age DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
should always be on hand.
Write DR.. Pierce. Buffalo, n. Y, for
free 136-page book on woman's lis
eases. Every woman should have one.

was performing its functions naturally

light
Seem pervaded with spirit that is
strangely new tonight.
I incline my ear to Iisten-fancy bears
me oversee,
To the withered lands OF tumult, rent
by wars catastrophe;
Where the dying fill the trenches;
where the living sternly wait;
Where the sacred Red Cross emblem
streams its folds, inviolate.
See I, too, the dull-eyed mothers scan
the East and scan the West,
Home returning. but to find there
Grief, the unlimited guest.
In the silent marts and spaces I can
see the children throng,
But the ring has left their laughter.
and their eyes have lost their
song.
Stately ship of Christmas greetings!
When your precious freight is
stored,
From the Golden Gate to Gotham will
resound your "All aboard"
For the world will bend to listen when
your deep-lunged whistle blows;
When, as massive haWsers loosen,
proudly seaward swings your
nose.
So those noises come a-tumbling down
the dim-lit dollhouse aisle;
I can hear the mallet falling and the
rasp Of saw and file
And the endless row Of warshops, cast
ing forth their beams of light,
Seem pervaded with a spirit that is
strangely new tonight!
