HOW DRUGGIST CURED
HIS KIDNEY TROUBLE

For the past twenty-four years !
have been selling DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root with excellent satisfac-
ton TO my customers who have used
It. They are always pleased with the
results obtained and speak very IA
vorabIy regarding the preparation. It
cured me of bad case of Catarrhal
Inflammation of the Bladder eighteen
years ago, after two months treat
ment with pharmaceuticals recon-
mended for Inflammation of the blad-
der. It is undoubtedly a remedy Of
great merit in the diseases for which
it is so highly recommended.
Very truly yours,

of all the Upper Iowa conference. He
reported 1901 accessions to the
churches Of his district and the mis-

on his district during the past twelve
months. Hazelton's new church cost
$4,000. Edgewood's $1,000, Elgin's

The Waterloo district was reported

report showed that there would be a

his district of 904. The benevolent

the geological survey is an important
factor In the development OF the state.
In his connection l wish to impress

described.
The duties Of the director Of the
survey have taken him into eve:S coun-
ty of Iowa. and thus he has had I'M
usual opportunity to study the roads OF

Iowa, with her unparalleled agricul-

status among the progressive states OF
the country, proper consideration must
be given at once to the lines of travel
within her borders.
III all the citizens Of the state could
but have the opportunity to see the
real conditions in many parts of Iowa
during certain seasons of the year, they
would rise to the need and would see

Montezuma. Sept. 21.-District court
convened on Monday. Judge Willcock-

probable. The grand jury was empan-

| considerably shortened on account OF
two extra sessions Of court during the
long vacation, when accused persons
were brought before the court on infor-
nations presented by the county attor-
ney. In this way some ten or twelve
cases were disposed>of.
In the list of cases assigned are three
that have been tried before. One was
sent back for retrial on appeal and the
| other two are cases tried at the last
term and in which the verdicts were
set aside by the trial court on account
Of newly discovered evidence.

preserved a receipt then AIKEN. This
transaction occurred more h thirty
years ago.. The boy stayed with Mr..
Paterson until he married and moved
away. He now comes in with an apph-
cation for an order to turn the whole

cedent. The other heirs resist the ap-
~plication on the ground tina the receipt

full settlement of any claim the adopt
ed son had in Mr.. Paterson's estate.
Another Ease presents a new point.
Is a corn elevator exempt property? A
case has arisen neal Brooklyn where a
creditor Of a debtor is seeking to Sc
cure a corn elevator to apply on his
claim. The debtor is resisting on the
ground that a corn elevator is exempt.
The fact Is there have been few decis-
ions in recent years that give any light
upon the subject. Most of the modern
farm implements have come into use
since the general rules were aid down.
The last cases hold that cream separa-
rators are exempt but do not set out a
rule broad enough to cover other mod

Meredith List Growing.
The list of republican and in
dependent papers supporting Meredith
is growing rapidly. For instance, last
week tho Story City Herald, a strong
republican paper. announced that the
Huntoon letters were the straw that
broke the camers back, and decided to
support Meredith.
Other republican papers which have
swung to Meredith within the last
week include the Ruthven Press, the
Hornick Index-published only twenty

which have only recently made the

No Effort For Harding.
1.-The lack Of enthusiasm manifested
by republican papers over Harding's
candidacy is certainly not to be ex-
planned entirely thru any personal OPP
position. The Burlington Hawk-Eye,
the Waterloo Courier, the Fort Dodge
Messenger, the Davenport Times, and
the Cedar Rapids Gazette. while listed
by Harding as supporting him, are
making no active effort in his behalf.
The weekly papers are following the
lead OF these dailies, and, with the ex-
ception Of perhaps $50 papers, are
waging no real battle.
