While the old soldi ch succeeding year become fawer their descendants and future preservers of the old flag appear to | increase in numbers. At least, this seemed | to be the case last evening, judging from the number of children who were the guests of Major General Grenville M. Dodge's an- nual Christmas treat and entertainment for the children and grandchildren of the vet- erans of the civil war, resident in Council Bluffs. The hall of Abe Lincoln post, Grand Army of the Republic, was not large enough to hold all the little people who | had been given tickets entitling them to participate In the distribution of the good things provided by the generosity of Gen- eral Dodge and late comers had to be content with standing room in the hall- | ways and anterooms. But every child got 1ald for fifty and the |his or her share of the candy, fruit and other good things given away. | For years General Dodge has provided this entertainment for the children of his comrades and each year the children in- | crease in numbers and the gathering last | night was sald to be the largest on record. The exercises were opened with praye= by Rev. James Thomson of the Congregational chureh, after which was read by his brother, N. P. Dodge, the greeting from General Dodge, expressing regret at being unable | to be present. While wishing those present | in person a Happy New Year, General Dodge stated in his greeting that to him this was a sad anoiversary, as in the last few weeks he bad attended the obsequies of | three friends, referring to the death of Mrs. U. S. Grant, General Williamson of | lows, who was adjutant of the Fourth lows, under General Dodge, and Genera! Wager Swayne of New York, who served under General Dodge for three years and was his lifelong friend and legal advisor in New York. | Addresses were made by Rev. James Thomson and State Commander John Lindt Mrs. Apted, Miss Hutchins, Miss Sylvia Snyder and others assisted in the program A pleasing feature of the evening was the presentation to Colonel E. J. Abbot by N. P. Dodge on bebalf of Major Genera! | Dodge of & handsome gold-topped came in | recognition of his services as secretary of the Colonel Kinsman Monument association. | | As mementos of the occasion portraits g of General Dodge, mounted on cards and changed her mind and decided the did not want to marry him. He said he had an- other young woman in mind whom h thought would, if asked, take him for bett or worse, and wanted to know if the license would do by changing the names He was informed he would have to secure a new license and that no money could be refunded for the other ome; that all the clerk could do would be to cancel the license on the records. The young man felt somewhat relleved when informed that the chromo certilcate would serve at any time that he succeeded in securing a bride, and after turning over the license left with the remark “that they might expect to see him back again before long fer another license.” GREAT WESTERN OMAHA LINE To Be Completed and in Operation | to Chicago on July | 1, 1903. | ForT pODGE, 1a., Dec. 29.—(Special Tel- egram.)—July 1 is the time set by President A. B. Stickney as the date when the Great Western through system from Chicago to Omaha shall go into operation. Thirty gravel trains will be put in opera- | tion on the mew line between Fort Dodge and Omaha as soon as spring opens, fifteen working nights and fifteen days, and it is | expected to complete the work of ballasting inside of two weeks. It is planned that the cut-off between | Waverly and Oelweln shall be completed by | the same time. Four steam shovels are now busy reduc- | ing grades on the Great Western line be- tween Waverly and Hampton. Courtshiv is Short. JANESVILLE, Ia., Dec. 20.—(Special.) Chris Mathed, a well-to-do widower of this place, went to Waverly, the county seat of | Bremer county, to bring home some mer- chandise he had purchased, and came home with a wife whom he had never met until he went to pay for his goods. It was a case of love at first sight. After a few moments' conversation he proposed marriage, they went to the court house, secured a license and Justice Cullinane did the rest. The groom is 61 and the bride 58, Prefers Death to Mother-| CRESTON, Ia., Dec. 29.—(Special.)—A few days ago John von Wagnor attempted sui- cide by taking 10 cents’ worth of morphine, and his friends supposed him to be in- ne.

The only hope is in warmer weather for a week or two until the coal can be secured from other places. The antbracite coal strike also had the effect of bringing into use the many more furnaces using soft coal than ever before in this city and in lowa, and increasing the steady demand for coal from the local flelds. Election Contest On. An election county at contest s on in Marion Knoxville between E. B. Ruck- man, republican candidate for county au- ditor, and A. W. Vandervleit, democratic county auditor, who was a candidate for The returns ss first reported from the precincts showed that Ruckman had a small majority, but when the vote was canvassed it was found that Vander- vieit had a small majority. The charge of forgery was made and evidence introduced to show that the figures were changed. Later the matter was carried to the grand jury. In the formal contest, which is now practically concluded, it was shown that not only were the figures changed, but from one precinct the sack containing the ballots was opened and the ballots changed, 80 25 to correspond to the returns. The matter has stirred up a good deal of ill feeling in the county, New lowa Corporations. The following incorporation papers were filed with the secretary of state today: Dexter Manufacturing company of Dex- ter, capital $10,000, by W. H. 3eorge.

Notice by the (itizens’ State bank of Goldfield of a reduction of capital from 360,000 t0 $25,000. Cherokee Hospital Fall. Superintendent Voldeng of the state hos- pital at Cherokee has written to the chair- man of the state hoard of control in refer- ence to the necessity for the establishment of another distriet for the inebriates in northern Iowa. It is found that the new hoepital at Cherokee, which has now been | open four months, is practically full. It is therefore deemed advisable to establish another place for the inebriates, or to have the hospital at Independence designated as a place for them. If this is done the north half of the state will send its inebriates | and morphine victims to Independence and Cherokee, while those in the south half will all go to Mount Pleasant. This will leave Clarinda the only onme of the four state hospitals not having a dipsomaniac ward. It is not determined yet that Inde- pendence will be opened to the inebriates, but this seems to be Inevitable. Dedicate Elks' Hall, Governor Cummins goes tomorrow to Ot- tumwa, where he will deliver the principal address on the dedication of the new Elko' hall in that city. The preparations have beep on a scale that will make the event a notable one. There will be a collation served in the evening and 500 persong are to be present. Besides the govermer ere will be other speakers, including J. B. Sul- livan of Creston, ex-Senator J. J. Smith of Ottumwa, Charles Bradshaw of Des Moines, Calvin Manning of Ottumwa and J. A. S. Pollard of Fort Madison. On Wednesday afternoon there will be a reception and Wednesday evening a ball. The hall is said to be one of the finest in the state. Big Land Case Not Settled. The attorneys are not yet satisfied with the decision of the courts in the big land case from Clay county, originally decided | by Judge Thomas. This is the case of Hawley versus Griffin, involving title to many thousand acres of land once owned by John Irwin, who dled insame. The land was in northwestern Iowa and in Nebraska There were six cases consolidated for the purpose of an appeal and the court at the October term decided them, but a rehear- ing has been asked and an extended argu- ment made in favor of it.

When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wnolesomie and the remedy itself free from every objectiorable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is— Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers, Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasautly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results fcom the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pieasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal- ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The geauine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle.
