The residents- of this city and the
east section of Cass county are very
much interested in the air mail tests

was almost nothing or consequence
transpiring there in marked differ
ence to the usual busy bustle and stir
and only the routine work was trans
piring to keep the officials and clerks
busy.
The county clerk's office is busy
with the preparation of the tax list
for the year and the county treas
urer's office is always kept very busy
with the daily volume of business,
but in the legal departments there
appears to be a lull of all litigation.
Whether this is c.ue to the fact that
the people are getting better or the
lawyers are on a vacation, it is hard
to tell. In the county attorney's of
fice, the county judge's office and the
district court clerk's office there was
nothing doing in the way of legal
matters.

The activities of the dog poisoners
are not confined to the south part of
the city, as evidenced by the fact
that on Thursday some one adminis
tered poison to the very valuable Air
dale dog belonging to Mrs. John
Gelser, who resides on North Fourth
street.
The -dog was not only valued In
money, but was a great family pet
and a very gentle animal and bad
never offered the least indication of
harming anyone and what motive
I could have prompted Its killing 13 a
mysiery io tne owners unless it was
an underhanded effort to get even
with the owners of the .animal. A
few weeks ago Mrs. Geiser was offered
$50 for the dog which was refused
on account of the warm attachment
felt by the family for the animal
and the death of the pet has caused
a great grief among the family. The
habit or poisoning helpless animals
is certainly a very underhanded one
and should the party committing the
offense be found they will find it de
cindedly warm for them.

has been told and related by thous

Chamberlain's Colic and -Diarrhoea
Remedy about nine years ago and it
cured me of flux (dysentery). I had
another attack of the same complaint
three or four years ago and a few
doses of this remedy cured me. I have
recommended it to dozens 'of people
since I first used it and shall con
tinue to do so, for I know it is a

troubles." Weyrich & Hadraba .

A few days ago at one of the stone
quarries near Weeping Water occur

Charles Selleck, one of the employes
of the quarry. He was busy at his
work and had evidently failed to no

nearby until the explosion occurred.
The concussion proved too great and
caused a serious i-injury to the ear

difficult XorMr. Selleck to hear at all

handicap to the gentleman in his
work.

RETURNS FROM VIRGINIA
From Saturday's Dally.
This morning Mr. and Mrs. Henry

almost two months back in Virginia,
their childhood home, and the occa

principal part of their stay was in
the vicinity of Crab Bottom and the
very scenic Blue Ridge country on

Chicago, August 17. Plasterers'

The older residents of the city will
be pleased to learn of the success of
John G. McIIugh, superintendent of
schools of this city for a number of
3'ears, and who is now located at
Minneapolis. Mr. McHugh has been
the secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce at Minneapolis for the last
few years and has been very success

located for some years at Winnipeg,
Canada and later moved to Minne
apolis where he has been a leader in
the commercial life Of the city and
his many friends here will 'enjoy
very much the fact that he has met
with such great success. ' -
From Saturday's Dally.
Eevery now' and then we like to
talk to our merchants about adver
tising and we like to do it in this
way because the subject Is of equal
interest to the public, says the Shel
don (Iowa) Sun, continuing:
"Franklj', the interest of the pub
lic,' the interest of the merchant and
that of the local newspaper publish
er are inseparably linked.
"The public always is best served
by buying advertised goods. Goods
that are advertised are goods that
are more extensively manutactureu
and consequently cheaper because of
increased production. Moreover ad
vertising today is a guarantee of
merit. No one need be afraid either
of the honesty of the price or the
quality of advertised goods. Competi
tion compels honesty even if there be
a wish to avaia it.
"There is another benefit, too. in
local newspaper advertising. When
advertising is thoughtfully employed
it means the building of trade for
our local merchants and this reacts
in an increase in real estate values
generally. A prosperous business sec
tion means added population and in
creased conveniences. The whole
scheme of advertising, merchandis
ing and buying i3 one of co-operation
to mutual advantage.
"The merchant always wins favor
able reaction when he talks frankly
in his advertising to the people and
shows them he is dealing honestly
with them and making a normal
profit.
"The man who week by week con
sistently in his advertising shows he
holds the public interest at heart is
the man who wins. Many merchants
lose the substance of public confi
dence in grasping for the shadow of
immediate sales."
TELLS OF SLAVERY DAYS
Miss Mable II. Kenea, of Clarinda,
relates an interesting incident con
cerning a former slave, Henry Webb,
who came north at the close of the
war with the late Capt. G. W. Burns.
The-negro was selected by Gen John
T. Morgan of the Confederate army
to serve as cook for himself and staff.
Six months later the Union forces
captured Gen. Morgan's division and
the general was killed. Webb made
his way to the union lines and served
Gen. McCook and staff as cook for
nearly four years, but he was never
mustered into the service and there
fore has no claims for either remun
eration or pension, although Gen. Mc
Cook promised , the colored boy that
he would see that he was paid.
At the close of the war Captain
Burns asked the colored cook if he
would not like to accompany him
north and the proffer was accepted.
Through the passing years Webb has
been cooking in hotels and restaur
ants, never lacking a Job.
When the Spanish-American war
broke out he enlisted and was as
signed as cook for Company K, of
Corning, commanded by Capt. Emer
son C. Pearis, and he was 18 months
in the service, a large part of the
time in the Philippine Islands.
The old man is spending his last
davs among friends in Clarinda. He
talks intelligently of slavery days in
Tennessee and the life of this old
negro spans the years that have
wrought wonders in the civic and
commercial life of the nation and of
the world. Glenwood Tribune.
