E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writing from Santiago De Cuba, on July 23d. says: "We all had diarr- hoea in more or less violent form, and when we learned we had no time- to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, wo were able to keep at work and keep our health; in I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if tha packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use.

My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of' this medicine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four oases it absolutely saved life." The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, the Chamberlain Medicine Des Moines, losva. For sale by WM. SKILLICORN Co. A Pretty Table adds much to the appearance of your home.

Tabor college has about fifty new students this year, a showing of which it may well be proud. The school is doing very excellent work in all its departments, enjoying an income of sufficient size to meet its expenditures and seeing its influence widen every day. Rev. S. B.

Brush and family have removed with their household goods to Percival. For the past year Rev. Brush has been pastor of the Congregational church at that point but has resided- in Glenwood. Then- many friends in this city will regret their departure and trust their future home ma.y be a pleasant one. One can hardly blame Uncle Dick Mickelwait for objecting in his law suit against the city to being assessed in the town rather than the township of Glenwood, as there is nearly a difference of 30 mills on the dollar.

What is true in Glenwood is quite true everywhere. The tax rates of the towns and cities are more than double that of the farming districts. Mills county the average city tax is about 50 mills while that in the country districts is less than half, being about 24 mills on the dollar. No one could be more interestingly enthusiastic over his own town and community than is W. T.

Bradford of St. Joseph, Mich, who recently visited his parents in Glenwood. Mr. Bradord is cashier of the Commercial State Bank, a concern which he organized five years ago and is most jonfident that he is in a great town ind country. The fruit interests of outhern Michigan, together with its manufacturing concerns cause it to be a busy place, while no little attraction centered in St.

Joseph by virtue of ts location on the lake and its beau- as a summer resort. Probably the largest peach orchard Mills county is that owned by C. Davidson living two miles southwest of Glenwood. He is a peach enthusiast and has upward of 2300 trees, all seedlings, and comprising some ten varieties, being mostly three and four years old. Mr.

Davidson believes in jlanting close together and his trees are set on an average of about eight 'eet live or six hundred to the acre. Thus his entire peach orchard occupies a space of between four and live acres and when it comes into full bearing as it will be the most productive piece of ground in the state of Iowa. Mr. Davidson has no peaches this season, it being an off year with him, but he has a little apple orchard that is yielding remarkably well considering the general failure, and will have about 150 bushels of fine Jonathans, Ben Davis and Grimes Golden. A party of Glenwood business men were telling of the disappointments of their lives and Postmaster White had just told how twenty years ago he had arranged a fifty cent piece on a string which enabled him to draw it from the walk when the passer by would stoop to pick it up, and how a certain business man who came along had calmly My Hospital where broken down bicycles, gasolene stoves, and other articles of that character, are repaired, is located a block south of the square, across "from Whittaker's barn.

A wholesale row of some kind occurred down at Bartlett last Suuday, the particulars of which we were unable to get.

Rankin of Hillsdale, and a member of Co. 22 Regular Infantry, is sick at his father's home. Since his campaign before Santiago he has been much worn and is now suffering with malaria, a complaint common to the men who were in that campaign. Rankin talks interestingly of his os- perience and scoffs at the newspaper complaints of the treatment of the army. He says he fared as well as he could expect, and has no complaints to make.

Heiusheimer told of an experience which was his when he was clerking in his uncle's store on the corner where the OPINION office is now located. The firm had received a stock of lamp chimneys which were guaranteed not to break and it was Mr. Heinsheimer's habit to take a customer to the rear of the store where he would absolutly paralyze him with wonder by throwing a chimney to the floor where it would lie unharmed. Our good friend Carson Walker came in one day and D. L.

motioned him to the chimney barrel and having selected a good looking; sample" lie dashed it to the floor with the questio'tt "Carson, what do you think of that'?" The chimney broke into a thousand pieces and as Mr. Walker remarked that any chimney would do that way, he left, the store, believing, 'evidently, that the young clerk (for Mr. Heinsheimer was a lad in those days) was crazy. D. L.

says he never has felt so "cheap" as at the moment Mr. Walker left him. kiln near the stone house which nearly exhausted all the wood in that vicinity. In the burning of the lime some seven cords of wood were used daily and it is estimated that during the time the kiln was running fully twelve hundred cords of wood were consumed. C.

Frank Duval of Logan, Iowa, has entered his employ as a watch maker and is prepared to do anything in the watch clock or jewelry reparing line which is left with him. Duval is well learned in his trade. Mr.

York's store now presents a most attractive appearance as his twenty or more organs and his lai ge line of pianos (he carries from five to seven of these valuable instruments always) fill tbe room comfortably full.

Below will be found an article from The Indicator, a paper published at Pueblo, Colorado, which tells of a well known resident of Glenwood and his mysterious invention for the dis- overy of gold or silver. Mr." Bartholomew while in the city last winter laimed to have made several valuable out in Colorado by the aid of his patent indicator. The following article will no doubt be of interest to his Glenwood acquaintancas. Jacob Bartholomew is an old man who makes his home with the family of H. Lolanan at 1112 Routt ave.

this city when he is not out in the mountains looking for veins of the precious metals with his indicator, an instrument which he prizes next to his health and in which he has inf alliable faith. He is an old timer and crossed the plains of Colorado in 1850 on his way to the gold diggings of California where he spent a number of years, returning to this state and devoting bis time to mining. "The wizzard's wand which he carries is a very simple looking affair, consisting only of a bit of flat steel spring about ten inches long, on one end of which is a small vial, the spring being inserted in the neck of the vial and the opening then hermetically sealed. "The mystery is hidden within the vial. Mr.

Bartholomew says there is but one man besides himself in all the world who knows the ingredients that go to make up the liquid contents. He defies detection by analysis, claiming that chemists are baffled in the attempt to specify all the ingredients. He keeps his strange secret strictly to himself but never hesitates to put his invention to test when asked to do so. "There are witnesses living in the city who will testify to having repeatedly seen him lind gold and silver in money, watches and jewelry when carefully hidden for trial out on the prairies and in the gulches. They, too, have faith in the strange bottle on the end of the steel spring.

We nave seen others besides the inventor hold the instrument when the bottle would seem to become agitated and, after viorating a few seconds at the end of the spring wnen held erect, it would gradually fall toward the nearest smelter or bank where there was gold and silver. The in veiitorhas interests in mines or prospects, rather, which he obtained by locating the veins. "He makes a fiat denial to the theory that there is no magnetic attraction in gold and silver, and seems to prove it to tho satisfaction of many in tho use of the little steel spring and vial with its strange compound. He claims that it requires the combined effects' of the electricity in the human body and tho influence of the 'compound in tlie vial to produce-the ttequired effects," There is Food For Thought In every one of the Dinner Sets WE ARE SELLING.
