would be subscribed.
Mr. McSweeney, accompanied by Brooks

P. J. Day, F. C. IxHigee and C. C. Clifton,
secretary of the "West End Improvement
club, drove about the city yesterday In
specting th different sites offered for th
packing house and stock yards. Mr. Mc
Sweeney expressod himself as well pleased
with any on of th sites offered, but said
h. cquld not at this tim give any opinion
as to which he preferred . The .selection
of the site would be made later. Mr. Mc
Sweeney left last evening for his home
In Kansas City, Kan.
No time la to be lost In consumatlng the
deal between the American Dressed Beef

before the close of 1904. The form of
agreement tobe entered Into between the
American Dressed Beef company and the
Commercial club, representing the city,
in to be prepared without delay and the

form of agreement proving satisfactory,
the American Dressed Beef company will
be required within thirty days of the sign
ing of the papers to notify the Commercial
club which sites it selects and the Com
mercial club will then be required to at
once purchaoe the property.
The-deed to the property when purchased
will be placed In escrow In favor of the
American Dressed Beef company, which will
furnish a bond to cover the cost of the prop
erty so aa to protect the Commercial club
In the event of anything transpiring to
prevent the erection of the plant. Within
ninety days from the purchase of the prop
erty the company Is to be obligated to be
gin the erection of the packing plant and
will be allowed one year In which to com
plete It and have It In operation. Mr.
McSweeney, however,, stated yesterday that
he expeqted with favorable weather condi
tion the plant would be completed In not
to'exceed seven monthafrqm. dale, of-commencement,
i' ." , '
When running at It full capacity, Mr.
McSweeney aald the plant which hla com
pany proposed establishing In Council
Bluffs would employ between 700 and 8o0
men. In employing It help the company
Jias given assurance It will give the pref
erence to residents of Council Bluffs, al
though It will undoubtedly have to bring
some of '.Jie skilled hands from elsewhere.
The payroll, according to Mr. McSweeney's
estimate, will be between $46,000 and M.000
month. . .

after death whether the arsenic found In
the organs came there from the embalming

County Surveyor C. L. Huff, who
was appointed by the Board of Supervisor
as a commissioner to survey and locate the
Bnyer valley ditch, as petitioned for, has
completed hla preliminary survey. Th
survey starts near Harris Grove, southwest
of Logan, and continues down the Boyer
valley to the south line of Harrison county,
a distance of about twelve miles. The sur
vey shows a fall of over thirteen feet in
that distance.
The survey us made will bring the ditch
to within 300 feet of the corporation limits
of Missouri Valley on the south. There Is
hardly any question but that the ditch
will be constructed, as all the landholders
adjoining are heartily In favor of the proj
ect, as it will tedeem from overflow
large acreage of the moat valuable land in
the Boyer valley.

do to avoid pain and suffering caused by
female troubles.
"Dear Mrs. Pixktiam: I canconsoientionslyreoomrnend LydlADL
Plnktaam's Vegetable Compound to those of my sisters suffering. with
female weakness and the troubles which bo often befall women. I suf
fered for months with general weakness, and felt so weary that I had
hard work to keep up. I had shooting pains, and waa utterly miserable.
In my distress I was advised to use Lydia 12. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and it was a red letter day to me when I took the first dose,
for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks I was a changed
woman, perfectly well in every respect. I felt so elated and happy that
I want all women who suffer to get well as I did." Miss Gcila Gannon,
859 Jones St, Detroit, Mich, Secretary Amateur Art Association.
It is clearly shown In this younjr lady's letter that Lydla B.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will certainly cure the ruf ferlngs
of women ; and when one considers that Miss Gannon's letter Is
only one of the countless hundreds which we re continually
publishing- in the newspapers of this country, the great virtue of Mr. Pink
tiara's medicine must be admitted by all ; and for the absolute cut of all kind
of female ills do substitute can possibly take its place.. Women should bear
.this Important fact in mind when they g-o into a druff store, and be sure nol
to accept anything that is claimed to be " just as good " as Lydla K. Plnk
ham's Vegetable Compound, for no other medicine for female ill hag
made to many actual cures.
How Another Sufferer Was Cured.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I cannot praise your wonderful remedies
enough, for they have done me more good than all the doctors I have
had. For tho last eight years and more I suffered with female troubles,
was very weak, could not do my housework, also had nervous pros
tration. Rome days I would remain unconscious for a whole day and
night. My neighbors thought I could never recover, but, thanks to
your medicine, I now feel like a different woman.
M I feel very grateful to you and will recommend Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound to alL It has now been four years since
I had the last spell, of nervous prostration. I only weighed ninety
eight pounds at that time now I weigh one hundred and twenty-three.
44 1 consider your Vegetable Compound the finest remedy made.
Thanking you many times for the benefit I received from your medicine,
I remain, Yours truly, Mrs. J. IL Farmer, 2809 Elliott Ave, St. Louis, Mo.
Remember Mrs. Pinkham's advice Is free and all sick women
re foolish If they do not ask for it. She speaks from. the widest
experience, and has helped multitudes of women.
