Albstross arouqht Into New York.

An albatross. the finest specimen ever seen in New York, was part of the cargo of the British fourmasted bark Annie, which is unloading ma heaany in Brooklyn after a voyage of 2f days from Salina Cruz, Mexico. This was the first specimen seen in New York in many years of this species of magnificent birds. once so common in the extreme southern attitudes and now seen SO rarely that it is believed they will have disappeared entirely within the next few years. The al- batross brought into port by the An nie was stuffed and mounted by the crew after it had dropped exhausted on the deck. II weighed If pounds, and was more than four feet in length from the tip of its beak to the tip of it's tail. The wings had a spread of 16 feet.

"S'Matter, Pop?"

Though not considered absolutely
careless In his attire Senator John
Sharp Williams does not pay particu-
lar attention to his gloves. his ties OF
whether a handkerchief Is sticking
sort OF careless out OF his vest pocket.
But the other morning he reached
the limit of not caring, or. possibly,
was too engrossed in certain measures
to pass criticism upon himself in the
hall mirror as he left his home for the
capitol
When he came into his Office, his
clerks grinned, but said nothing, think
ing he knew his own business and
didn't care to be reminded or advised
as to his appearance
But 1t was Mrs. Williams who called
up. presently, and asked one of the
young men to please go over to the
senate and remind the senator that he
had worn their young sons rakish
green felt hat down to the capitol, and
that the boy couldn't go to school. or
wouldn't till he had it.

SIMPLY BREATHE IT
That's the Way You Use Hyomei,
the Safe Catarrh Remedy.

The most pleasant, easiest, harm
less, and the really sensible method
for the cure OF catarrh is Hyomei,
which can be had from any drug
store. Just put twenty drops of the
liquid in the small inhaler that comes
with every complete outfit-then
breathe it. few minutes use almost
instantly clears the head and stops
that annoying shifting.
When using Hymoei every particle
of air that enters the breathing organs
is charged with an antiseptic, healing
balsam that destroys the catarrh
germs. stops the unclean discharges
from the nose, relieves the irritation
and quickly heals the sore and in
flamed tissues The first days use OF
Hyomei will show a decided improve
ment no matter how distressing the
trouble.
Catarrh, which usually begins with
. neglected cold. often becomes very
serious ailment, SO don't wait, but
start using Hyomei today-it is mex
pensive and Wilkinson & Co. always
sell 1t on the "No-cure-no-pay' plan.

ING Daily Re-
port.
oTruMwA IS AHEAD
But. Our Home Association Is Crawl
ing Up on Her-Wateh Keo-
kuk on the Home
Il. Stretch.

The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton has assumed rather lively sit
uation and created feeling OF
tending association. Keokuk has
never shown any alarm or discour-
agement though she was behind In
the race, but the local boys have all
along felt confident in their strength
and that they would make good
showing when the final results are
footed up.
The totals in the several contend
ing clubs as given in The Gate City
yesterday afternoon was as follows:
Burlington, COG; Keokuk, 726; OF
tumwa, s2S; Waterloo, 254. Waterloo
held her report until Monday and
then reported the number OF points
given above which is supposed to be
the total OF points made by their as
sociation to the date Of the report.
That city sent in no report, as the
other clubs did, and 1t is taken for
granted that she made no points, so
her score is given at 254, that being
all the points so far reported from
that city.
Last nights report showed that
Burlington had gained 149 points over
the last report of totals; Ottumwa
gained 292 points, Keokuk's gain was
81, and Waterloo reporting no gains.
With these gains added to the for
mer totals reported by the cities
named the standing is as follows:
Burlington, 1855; Ottumwa. 1.13O;
Keokuk, 1051; Waterloo, 254.
This is big gain for Keokuk, being
now only four behind Burlington and
10 behind Ottumwa, while she le- Ia
Waterloo by 1877. Keokuk was be
hind in the final report received last
week and has been gaining right
along. 1t will take a very Sigh,
splurge any old day to overcome Bur
itlington's lead; and one good, hard
days work will leave Ottumwa few
points behind. So the boys feel that
Keokuk is In the contest with both
feet and in the final struggle will
land with both feet son the dry and
safe soil Of victory Watch Keokuk

with regard to earnings and amount
OF business done. There are quite q
number OF reasons advanced for this.
One. OF course, is the general bus1-
ness depression that has swept the
country. Another is that automobiles
have robbed the river boats of great
amount Of passenger business. Still
another Is that the movies" have cut
into the excursion business to a large
extent. OF course, the movies" and
the Federal baseball league are being
blamed nowadays for everything
from poor crops to the war in Europe.
but 1t is the belief of many steam
boat men that the motion picture
shows really detract to a great ex-
tent from the amount OF business done
by excursion boats on the Mississippi
river.

WHAT CAUSES COLDS ?

This question and "How to Prevent
Colds" is asked thousand times
every day. A cold is really fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and SO render the body better able
to Withstand the varying elements.
This is the underlying reason why
the medicinal fats in SCOTS Emulsion
quickly overcome colds and build
strength to prevent more serious sick
ness. 1t contains natures medicinal
fats, so skillfully prepared that the
blood profits from every drop. and 1t Is
free from harmful drugs or alcohol.
