The construction of the foundation for

be the case, It will add materially to the
cost of the building. Before the charac

: borings will have to be made to deter
mine whether piling will be necessary or
not. In an offhand opinion Architect Mil

In the construction of both, the county

belonging to Mrs. E. E. Bull, east of the
city, a ttee which, he was chopp'ng fell and
pinned him to the ground, fracturing his
rlghl th!gh near the hip.
. For a while the pain almost rendered Fry
u .icon clous and It was some time before
he realized his position. He called for help,
but none cam". His cries remained unan
swered and the old man realized that if he
did not want to pe lsh from cold he must
release hlmsvlf In some manner from the
tree which was holding him fast to the
ground. JIls' saw lay within his reach
fortunately, and lying on his back he began
the almost hopeless task of sawing In two
the limb which lay. on his crushed and
broken leg. For two hours he continued
to saw, frequently compelled to stop on
account of the pain of Ms broken leg, but
he finally succeeded In sawing the log In
two and with his strength almost gone he
made a final, desperate effort and extricated
his leg from beneath the timber.
Although free from the tree Fry found
that he could not stand up with his broken
leg, so he started to crawl to the roadside
through the snow which covered the
ground. He succeeded In crawling nbout
fifty yards when his strength gave out
and he fourd he coutd proceed no further.
He then cried anew for he'.p and this time
fortunately his shouts attracted the atten
tion of Martin Sorenson, another wood
cutter, who was returning to work after
taking his dinner. Sorenson with extreme
difficulty succeeded In getting Fry to the
home, of a nearby farmer and then sent
word to the police station asking that the
ambulance be sent for the unfortunate
man.
The police ambulance was at once sent
to the place and Fry was brought to the
home of Mrs. Bull on Broadway. On ac
count of his age and the terrible experience
he had undergone Fry was said last even
ing to be In a somewhat critical condition,
but that unless complications set In It was
thought he would probably recover.

DES MOINES, Dec. ll.-(Speclal.)-The
state auditor today completed th statement
for Iowa banks under the last call for In
formation as to the condition of state and
savings banks at the close of business No
vember 17. The report shows a decrease In
deposits about In accordance with the usual
decrease at this season of the ytar. Be
tween the September and the November
statement, a little over two months, there
was a net Increase of only two banks in
the class from which the state auditor gets
reports, a very small net increase, and the
additional capital Invested amounts to only
$.9,700. The report for September showed
an Increase of twenty-one In the number
of banks over the number reporting in Miy
last and a great Increase In capital and de
posits. Beveral banks have since become
national banks. The report now shows a
decrease in deposits In the state and sav
ings banks of nearly $2.000,0u0 in the nine
weeks. The reason assigned la. that at this
season of the year many deals are closed
and there Is much more money needed In
the ordinary channels of trade than In the
summer time, mid therefore a withdrawal
of money from the banks for this purpose.
In other respects the bank statement shows
no material change from previous state
ments and the aggregate of business done
continues enormous.

CATARRH?
the presence of germs In the sir passages
Is now admitted by every physician. It
stands to reason that catarrh cannot be
cured unless these germs are first de
stroyed. The Hyomel treatment kills the
catarrh germs even In the minutest air
cells, soothes and heals the Irritated mu
cous membrnne and makes complete and
lasting cures in cases that have resisted
the usual methods of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medicines
administered through the stomach. Hy
omel Is the only natural method and It
has made cures . that seem miraculous.
The outfit costs but $1.00 and consists of,
an Inhaler which will last a lifetime and
sufficient Hyomel for several weeks treat
ment. Additional bottles of Hyomel can
be procured for 50c.
Sherman & McConnell give their personal
guarantee with every Hyomel outfit they
sell to refund the money If It does not
cure: There Is no risk whatever to the pur
chaser of Hyomet.
Only Guarnteed
Catarrh Cure
Hyomel Casts Yon Nothing- If It Falls
Says Sherman A McConnell, lAth
nnd Dodge Street.
Among the many medicines upon the
market that claim to cure catarrh, none
but Hyomel has enough faith in Its own
merit to be willing to refund the money
If It does not cure.
This remarkable remedy for catarrh kills
the microbes and tho germs of the disease
and from Its Introduction has been sold
under a positive guarantee to return tho
money to all dissatisfied customera
Sherman A McConnell have sold a great
many Hyomel outfits in the. last few years,
and they stand ready today to refund tha
price to any one who has not been helped
by Hyomel.

and comprises an Inhaler, a bottle of Hy
omel and a dropper. The Inhaler will last

Hyomel can be obtained for 50c.
Breathe Hyomel for a few minutes four
times a day, and your catarrh will grow
better from the first day's use and will
be completely cured In a short time.

stomach medicines. Breathe the healing
Hyomel which goes to every part of the
