number would be greatly Increased and
that the attendance would reach near to
the' 1,000 mark. Council Bluffs will, how.
ever, have to make a warm fight for the
convention, as other cities are making
a pull for It,, among the number being
Cedar Rapids, which Is considered this
city's strongest opponent.
Council Bluffs is recognised as having
one of the strongest local associations In
the state and this, together with the fact
that tills city Is easily accessible from any
part of Die state, as all the big railroads
center here, makes It very likely that It
will bo selected" for next year's conven
tion, v
At the solicitation of the Retail Grocers'
and Butchers' association the Commercial
club offered to do all In Its power to bring
the convention. ' '
At the meeting of the local association
last evening Ira B. Thomas of Des Moines,
secretary of the State Grocers' association,
was -present ami addressed the meeting On
the work of the state association.. Mr.
TAomas said he favored holding next year's
convention in this city and went so far
as to ray that he would use what lnflurncs
he had to bring It here. .While In the city
Secretary Thomas was the guest of Robert
Huntington, secretary of the local asso
ciation. Matter In Dltrlrt Court.
The trlul Jury at this present term of,
district court Is establishing a record. Up
to date In the six suits which have been
tried before It, in each case a verdict for
the defendant has been found. That not
a single verdict for the plaintiff haa been
returned out of six different suits 'la con
sidered as something remarkable.- The sixth
case In which a verdict was returned for
the defendant was" that of James Hunter,
administrator against the railroad In which
ha sued for $2,000 for' the killing of Jo
hannog Krohtl at a railroad Crossing near
Persia;'. In Harrison county. The question
of the . railroad company's liability de
pended on - whether the train crew had
given the proper signals when the train ap
proached the crossing. Testimony -on the
part of the train crew was to the effect
that the proper signals by whistling and
ringing the bell bad been given.
Following till fMiao th anlr nt Ml.. T.lltta
Smith against the motor company was be
gun.. In this suit . Miss Smith asks for
damages,, placed at $-'0,000, for Injuries al
leged to have been received while alighting
from a car at the Northwestern depot. Miss
Smith alleges that the car waa started be'
fore she had Safely alighted with the re
sult, that she was thrown . heavily to the
ground and suffered a fracture of her knee
cap, which has made her a cripple for life.
On motion of the motor company the court
ordered Mips Smith examined by physicians
In order to establish the extent of her in
juries. The testimony of the examining
physicians had not been given when court
adjourned for the day.
The retrial of the famous Colorado min
ing suit of James Doyle against James F.
Burns, president of the Portland Gold Min
ing company, is set for the November term
of district court in this city, but It Is un
derstood that the defendant will rnake a
strong effort to have It continued until the
Ju unary term.

Ile'malnder of Skeleton Foand.
Further excavation on the property of
John T. Henderson at SOS Stutsman street,
where some weeks ago the headless skel
eton of a young girl was dug up, has un
earthed, the missing skull. It waa found
about twelve feet from the place where
the skeleton , was brought to light. The
finding of the skeleton and the skull In
different places is taken to indicate that
they were purposely burled separately and
that possibly , It was done years ago .to
conceal a crime. How the remains came
there, however, will likely always remain
a. mystery.. '-.' .

When a child I had a very severe attack
of Diphtheria, which' came seat proving
fatal. Upon recovery, ,the glands of the
neck were very much enlarged, and after
the free use of iodina the right one was
reduced to its normal sue, but the left
one continued to grow very slowly at
first until it waa about the size of a gooait
egg, which began to press on the wind
pipe, causing difficult breathing, and be
came very painful. An incision was mada
and a large quantity of pus discharged.
The gland waa removed, or as much as
could with safety be taken put. For ten
years I wore a little piece of cloth about an
inch long In my neck to keep the place
open. During thia time I had to hare it
cut open by the doctor every time I took
cold or the opening clogged. In the Spring
or early Summer of I884 t was persuaded
by my wife to use S. .S., which 1 did,
strictly in accordance with directions. I
took twenty-six large bottles, and was en
tirely cured, fori have not suffered with the
trouble since that time. B. 6. Kagland
