tho attendance from tho outsld-j 'owns, al
though the church was comfortably hlled

devoted mainly to the reading of the ic
ports of the treasurer, secretary und tom
mlttccs. That of tho secretary showed that
the number of unions In the district since
January 1 had Increased from ten to fif
teen and there was a paid membership of
243. The Sixth dlstrlrt, tho secretary re
ported, had mado the greatest gains of any
district In tho state. Mr. Harris of Oak

Ing. "Tho Boy and Ills Father" formed
tho subject of an Interesting' a'ddresa, by
Mrs. Harvey Johnston of Logan. She said
every father should maintain tho closest
relations with his son and not leave, it to
others to warn him of tho mnny evils which
surround and tempt the boy and younr
man. The relationship between father and
eon should bo such that tho boy would not
hesitate to go to the parerit at all times
and under all circumstances when In need
of knowledge.

Mls3 Julia E" Officer filed hor answer yes
terday In the district court to th nit
brought by John M. Gnlvln. special ad
ministrator of tho Thomas Officer estate,
to hnve certain shares of stock I n thn Rmn-
ltle-Shugart company given her by her
jainer. i nomas omccr, decreed to bo part
of tho property of the estate. The conten
tion of tho special administrator was thnt
tho stock was given to Miss Ollleer by the,
late Thomas Ollleer without any considera
tion and at n time when Thomas Officer whs
Insolvent. Tho transfor of the stock, it was
claimed, was n fraud upon the rights of
the creditors of Thomas Officer.
Mlfs Officer, In her answer, admits that
the stock wns given her by her ather with
out any consideration, but says that the
suits brought against J. T. Hnrte, tho for
mer owner of the shares, were begun In her
nnme, and the only connection of Thomas
Officer In tho litigation was as her agent.
She asserts that she paid the foes and costs
Incurred In the suit out of money obtained
from tho Officer A Pusoy bank, but that
same wbb charged up to her account and
that the recolvers now hold the stock as col
lateral for her overdraft amounting to over
$5,000.
MUs Officer says thnt at the time her
father gave her tbo shares ho had had con
siderable controversy with J. T. Harto, who
had assigned them to him as security for n
oan, npd that her father understood they
were worthless. Miss Officer states further
that at the time her father gavo her the
stock ho van perfectly solvent and a man
cf large means. Mlts Officer further con
tends that the suit brought by tho special
administrator la barred by tho alntule of
limitations, ns tho stock was glvon to her
In 1S94.
Tho case Is one of much Interest to the
many creditors of tho defunct Officer &
Tusey bank, as n tho event of the court
sustaining the petition of tho special ad
ministrator It will result In tho recovering
Into tho Thomas Officer estate of a large
sum of money.

DES MOINES. Sept. 11. (Special,) F. H.
Noble, county attorney of Hardin county,
wns In consultation with tho stato treasurer
today with rofcronco to tho nttltude of tho
stato treasurer In regard to deductions from
the sums collected by tax ferrets on ac
count of collection of the taxes due and
not paid. In Hordln county tho board of
supervisors made n contract with n firm
of tax ferrets to uncover hidden property
and receive the 15 per cent allowed by law
for milking tho discovery of such property
not returned to the assessors, nnd In nddl
tlon mnde n contract with a firm of lawyers
to pay thorn 10 per cent for collecting tho
taxes after the ferrets had located tho
property. Under this contract largo sums
were collected nnd the attorneys got their
to per cent In fees. But the school dis
tricts notified tho county officials they
would hold the county treasurer for all
sums collected except the 15 per cent. To
day the state treasurer ruled that ho could
mnke no allowances for cxpenso of collec
tion and that nil the deductions nbovo the
15 per cent would be disregarded. Under
the circumstnnces the county or tho county
officials w'lll have to make good to tho stato
cr to tho districts nil sums paid to tho
lnwyors for collecting. This Is the case
In which the county auditor nnd others
have been Indicted nnd he.tvy suits for re
covery have been commenced, but this is the
first time this or any similar matter has
been called to the attention of the stato au
thorities. StroiiKly I'nvors (lie Itnllrond.
The vote In the city of Wlntcrset on the
proposition to raise n fund in nld of tho
Des Moines Southern railroad by taxation
carried overwhelmingly, the vote being
about S00 to 100 for the tax. A strong fight
was put up against the calling of the elec
tion nnd ngnlnst the whole movement by
persons who nre opposed to nny more rail
roads In Wlnterset, but after the election
wns called they gnvo up, and the strong
vote for the tax will be a great encourage
ment to the promoters. Tho pcoplo of Green
field hnvo signed n petition for n speclnl
tax election there and it will bo carried
easily. The company Is also planning to go
Into tho townships along the right of wny
and secure tax nld thcro for tho line, which
Is to connect tho Great Western In Warren

The promotors, who live here, feel that

Turnlnuf ,Up llio Camera nf Ynnr
.Mouth Pronounced n .Specific.
A well known doctor of Minneapolis, who
has mndn a specialty of nervous dlsensos,
has found a now remedy for "tho blues,"
reports the Minneapolis Journal. As no
drugs are administered, he has felt safe i:i
experimenting with at least a half hundred
melancholy patients, and now declares him
self thoroughly satisfied with tho good re
sults of his treatment. His prescription
reads something llko this: 'If you keep
the corners of your mouth turned up you
can't feel blue," Tho directions for taking
are; "Smile, keep on smiling, don't stop
smiling." It sounds ridiculous, doesn't It?
Well, Just try turning up the corners of
your mouth, 'regardless of your mood, and
see how It makes you fcol; then draw the
corners of your mouth down and note the
effect, and you will be willing to declare
"there's something In It."
The doctor treats his nervous patients to
medicine when necessary, but when the
case Is one of pure melancholy without bod
ily 111, he simply recommends the smile
cure. He baa the patient remain in his
office and smile; If It Isn't tho genuine
article, It must at least be an upward curv
aturo of the the corners of tho mouth, nnd
the better feelings follow Inevitably. The
treatments am followed up regularly, nnd
tho patients all testify to their good effect.
It takes considerable persuasion to Induce
some of them to apply the cure, nnd, nf
course, tho grcnter number of pntlcnts aro
women, for when n mnn Is blue he Is bound
to be blue In spite of everything, but n
woman Is moro easily persuaded to try to
find n cure.
The doctor declares that If persons will
only drnw down tho corners of their
mouths and use sufficient will power th?y
can actually shed tears. On the other hand,
If they will persistently keep the corners
of the mouth turned up pleasant thoughts
will chase nway the gloomy forebodings,
His discovery grew out of nn experience In
his own home. His wife was of n nervous
nnd rather morbid temperament, and when
In a despondent mood he would ask her to
"smile a little," until the snylng came to
be n household Joke, But It brought about
good results, and then enme the Inspiration
to try tho same cure on others.
The doctor has not patented his remedy,
nnd It Is freo to nil who choose to tako
advantage of It.
