Dr. J. W, Wilton Finds It in the Moral Atmosphere, CLEARING AWAY OF CORRUPT PRACTICES rity in Politics Begina to Be Ap- parent and the Preacher is Greatly Rejolced That This is True, A number of the churches of the city observed Thanksgiving day with a union wervice yesterday morning at the First Christlan church, the attendance at which taxed the capacity of the bullding. The service was a particularly interesting one. The collection will be turned over to the now bejug raised for the establishment of a “creche,” where the poor women who have to go out to work can leave their babies avd have them cared for during the day. To Rev. J. W. Wilson, pastor of the First Congregational church, was delegated the duty of preaching the unlon service sermon. He took as his text Acts xxvili, 15 “He thanked God and took courage,” say- ing in part: “This year of our Lord, like all preceding years, has brought its own peculiar joys. The nation, the state, the community, churches, familles and individuals have all recelved abundant blessings and many good gifts that have never been duplicated. For these a whole nation stops to express its gratitude. Likewise all of us should give thanks and take courage. There are many reasons that should lead us to do this. ince our last Thanksgiving day our na- tional house of representatives by a de- cislve vote has excluded a known polyga- mist from its membership and deterrined | that polygamy shall not receive official | recognition by our nation. Like the lepers oi old, these moral lepers of our day must cry out afar off. The disease of political | ccrruption likewise has received a percepti- ble check during the year. Certain men of unsavory reputation have fafled to bribe their way Into the highest legislative cham bers of the nation and other political bosses are likely to be hurled from their self- made thrones of power. In several of our cities the people have declared that political trickery and election robbery are not to be tolerated and that high offices are too sacred to be filled by men who are high- handed blackmailers in league with political burglars and cneakthieves and confessed despoilers of election returns. Even a vo- terfous hoss of our greatest metropolls and his vice-protecting subordinates are on the run before the righteous crusade of good Bishop Potter. This political boss is re- ported to have turned preacher recently and lectured his associates on the necessity of purging the city of its vice ‘indulging as one has suggested,' in one of those brassy assumptions of virtue and outraged {mno- cents which would be humorous if not so flagrantly and transparently false. “The love of money is still the root of all evil. And our recent presidential cam- palgn—which was the cleanest, least pas- slonate aud most inepiring campaign Withfh our recollection—did not settle everything. It did not settle the trust question nor determine how we aro to escape the bane- ful influence of powerful combinations of moneyed men who are animated by selfish motives. We shall never settle this ques- tion in a political campalgn, because It 13 not & question of politics. It will never bs finally settled until men everywhere learn that it is more blessed to give than to re- ceive and that every man Is his brother's keeper and must love his neighbor as him- selt.” UE SEWER GRAHAM AV MATTER, 1l Will Meet in Special Session to Consider 1 The city councl will meet in adjourned gession this afternoon to act upon the mssessment of the Graham avenue sewer, when it Is sald property owners on the avenue will contest the right of the city to mssess against them part of the cost of the sewer on South First street and Mad- feon avenue, At the meeting of the city council last Monday night Alderman Lougee stated that a number of the property owners had ob- jected to the nssessment and ho called for the city solicitor's opinion on the mat- ter, the same to be submitted at today's meeting. City Solicitor Wadsworth, when asked yesterday, sald he had received no notice that his opinion was required in the matter. He had, he said, given one on a former occasion, in which he held that the property owners on Graham ave- nue were legally bound to bear their pro rata cost of the lower system. The original sewer was awarded three years ago, but only the portion on South First street was put in, as the property owners on Graham avenue asked that the portion on their street be postponed until such time as the street would be repaved. The entire cost of the sewer was averaged up and Graham avenue property owners at that time agreed it the work on their street was postponed they would willingly pay the amount, as it would have been If the work had been done all at one time. In order to carry off the, sewerage from the upper part of the gystem the pipe on First street had to be.larger than on Graham avenue and the cost of that part of the sewer was cor- respondingly greater. Under these circum- stances Clty Solicitor Wadsworth holds that there s no question but that the property owners on Graham avenue are liable for the cost, not only of thelr portion of the sewer, but thelr pro rata share of the additional cost of the sewer on the lower end, and will so advise the council at its meeting today. The council will meet this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock and first {nspect the work be- fore taking any action on the assessment, Ipox Matte There were no new developments in the Co contract for the Our Armored Cruiser Shoe For Boys’ Wear Filled with CHILLED STEEL CIR.

The Thanksgiving day foot ball game between the Dodge Light guards and Tabor college resuited in the defeat of the col- leglans by the soldiers by a score of 11 to 0 and the Guards sustained the reputation earned while as members of the Fifty-first lTowa volunteers they were stationed at the Presidio in San Franelsco, The game was witnessed by a crowd of about 1,600 persons, who well filled the two graudstands at the Driving park. A feature of the game was the clean manuer in which it was played by both sides and only two men, Searles of the home team, and Thornell of the colleglans were “knocked out' and thelr places filled by substitutes. In the first halt Councll Bluffs kicked off to Tabor, to the thirty-yard line, when It was caught by Tweedy and downed. From this on the pigskin remained in Tabor's territory and at no time was the Guards' goal in danger, | Graham after several end ruos and hitting | the line socured a touchdown squarely in center of the poles and goal was kicked by Dailey. At the end of the first half the score was 6 to 0 In favor of the soldiers. The second half was a repetition of the first almost and the soldiers managed to keep the ball dangerously close to Tabor's line most of the time. During the entivo second half Tabor was never nearer than the thirty-yard line of their opponents Near the end of the half Graham secured another touchdown, the ball belng near the left side and Dalley fafled to kick goal The soldlers then worked the ball to Tabor's | three-yard line, but lost it just as it looked as they were going to get another touch- down. Three minutes later time wasi callea and the soldlers stood victors by a score of 11 to the colleglans' duckegg. The lneup was as follows Co. Blufr: Position.

Miss Ruth Cleghorn read a paper representing the pupils, Rose Smith gave a recitation and Nina Myers rendered a solo. The new High school bullding is a modern structure just completed and, in connection with the old one, which i3 now one butlding, cost nearly $43,000, and would be a credit to a town much larger than Onawa. It Is one of the best school build- irgs 1n lowa. Takes Testimony in Advance, CRESTON, Ia, Nov. 20.—(Speclal.)—For fear that Alex Moxey and Albert Johnson, the two colored men who witnessed the murder of Lottle Holmes at Thayer last Saturday night by Hugh Dixon, would not be available when the murder case came to trial, County Attorney Bull yesterday took their testimony. The men were then re- leased. As they were the only two eye- witnesses to the tragedy it was very essen- tial that their evidence in the case be ob- tained. Dixon will be tried next January.

I0WA ON SOUTHERN FIELDS State Monument to Commemorate Bervices of Hawkeye Soldiers, SHILOH AND VICKSBURG BEING MARKED Commissioners Are Locating the Po- sitions Held by lowa Regiments on the Ground So Fraught with Great Results. DES MOINES, Nov. 20.—(Speclal.)—Iowa veterans who served in the western armies during the rebelllon are interested in the work of two spectal commissions now in the south locating the battle lines of lowa regiments at Shiloh and Vicksburg. The commissions went south together om a spe- clal traln. Among the members are: Judge Joseph R. Reed of Council Blufts, Colonel J. K. P. Thompson of Rock Rapids, Colo- nel G. L. Godfrey of Des Moines, Colonel D. J, Palmer of Washington, Colonel C. A. Stanton of Centerville. Captain Henry G. Aukeney of Corning, Lieutenant Mahlon Head of Jefferson, W. O. Mitchell of Corn- ing, L. C. Blanchard of Oskaloosa, Major C. W. Crossley of Webster City, Colonel Warren 8. Dungan of Chariton, Captain E. B. Soper of Emmetsburg, James W. Car- son of Woodburn and John Hayes of Red Oak. There were about sixty persons in | the part which went south this week to visit the old battleflelds and locate the regimental positions for lowa soldiers. The project for a national park at Vicks- burg is strictly an lowa proposal, chief | among those urging it being Captain Merry of Dubuque. The lowa regiments took an jmportant part in the operations around | Vicksburg and great many lowa men are buried in the beautiful cemetery east of the city. The Vicksburg commission wlil ask the legislature of lowa for an appro- priation of $150,000 for a single monument to Towa soldiers to be erected in the mili- tary park at Vicksburg. The location of lowa regiments will be marked there as well as at Shiloh. Towa Woman Suffragists. Mrs. E. H. Belden of Sioux City, presi- dent of the Iowa Equal Suffrage assocla- tion, was in consultation with other offi- cers at headquarters of the assoclation in this city. Mrs. Belden expects to de- | vote practically all of her time the coming year to the work of organizing branches of the assoclation in every county to fa- |cllitate the work. The officers of the euffrage assoclation are somewhat disap- | pointed over the discovery that the voters did not order a convention to revise the constitution. It was supposed even after the count had been completed that the convention had been ordered, but the final footings showed that the comvention was |beaten. The suffragists hoped that the prospect of a comvention to make & new constitution of the state would be an added incentlve to the women to make an effort to have the new constitution recognize women as voters. However, they say they will continue the work of organization and sgitation and declare that it was never In such excellent condition as at present. They have atirpcted much attention by their contributiow of 4 carload of hogs for the NatfonWt* Woman Suffrage bazar in New York. The hogs were donated by wealthy farmess—of «erro-Gordo county. They were shipped to Chicago today in a car which the women of Mason Clty dec- crated handsomely and properly labeled. Instead of sending the hogs to New York to be disposed of in the bazar at Madison Square Garden it has been decided to mar- ket the hogs in Chicago and send the pro- ceeds, together with the decoratlons and banners, to the bazar. It 18 such an un- usual contribution that the lowa women are gaining great notoriety therefrom. Vote for Debs. The returns from the state will surprise many by the fact that the soclal dem- ocrat, or Debs, vole exceeded the vote for the populist, or Barker, ticket. Debs re- celved 1,648 votes In Towa, nearly half being in Scott county. where he got 540 votes. Wharton Barker got only 613 votes in the state, the largest number 1in any one county being sixty-nine in Madison. Joseph Malloney, the scclalist labor candidate, got 259 votes'in the state, recelving forty-seven in Clinton county and forty-three in Scott and the rest scattered about the state. Leonard, the United Christlan candidate, got 707 votes, the largest vote being thir- The Woolley vote amounted to 9,302, a considerable gain over the 3,644 votes cast for both prohibition can- didates four years ago. The prohibition- ists are strongest in Polk county, which cast 460 votes for Woolley. The total Towa vote {s but little larger than four years ago. Then it was 62),647 and this year it was 630,007. Four years ago McKinley got 289,203 and this year 307,818, Four years ago Bryan got 223,714 and this year 209,465, The McKinley plurality of 65,562 of four years ago was ralsed to 98,363, and the clear majority of 57,039 has been turned into a majority over all of 86,099 this year. Extra Session Probable The impression Is growing that an extra session of the lowa state leglslature will be needed to stralghten out the tangle into which the voters of the state have got thelr servants by adoption of the amendment for biennial elections. Senator Titus, the author of the amendment, regards it pos- sibie that the legislature will have to take action to remedy some of the defects. The matter of the selection of jurymen for the district courts next year is causing trouble. It is pointed out that the amendment leaves the courts without the usual list of venire- men and something will have to be done before they can proceed with criminal causes or any jury tr While the state offi- | elals affected by the mistake in the amend- ment have all signified their intention of stepping out January 7 next, at the end of the terms for which they were elected, this is mot true of all the county officers. It 1s reported that the county clerks in John- son, Benton, Bremer, Jasper, Sac, Wapello and other counties have had an investigation made and bave become convinced that the amendment really and legally extends thelr terms of office one year and that they will not voluntarily relinquish their offices to their successors. As yet no move has been made to get the matter of the bi- ennial election amendment into the supreme court for final decision. Court House Must Walt, A proposition to borrow $75,000 with which to erect a new court house for Craw- ford county in Denison falled at the recent election and the fallure is causing some 1ll-feeling and bad-tempered talk. Although Denison is practically in the center of the county the people of West Side, so named because it Is on the extreme eastern side of the county, are ralsing a fund to bulld & court house in that town If the county seat can be secured. It is stated that $40,~ 000 has been raised in this way. In some parts of the county it was felt that the sum asked for the new court house wus too lai There was unfavorable com- ment 0 because the people of Denison made no offers of assistance to the county in case a new court house was ordered. The prospect of roopening the county seat question may bring matters to a head ro that in & few years Crawford county will et & court hou An unusual rallroad accident ocourred on the Chicago & Northwestern, between LaMoille and State Center. Workmen em- ployed by the firm in charge of building plers for new double track bridges were engaged In 1ifting a heavy stone to its place on a pler by means of a derrick. The etone had to be lifted directly over the old track, and at the time for the passing of the fast mall train No. 15, westbound, early Monday morning, the derrick held tho stone suspended in midair over the old track. The morning was foggy and the workmen did not see the coming traln in time to get the beam swuug around. The train was golug at a high rate of speed and the stone was placed so as to strike the smokestack and clip it off and then hit the cab In the middle. The cab was Itterally etripped from the engine and the engiue, which was one of the largest and best on the road, was disabled. Fireman Ed Kerivan of Clinton, was cut in the head and badly bruised. He was knocked sense- less by the blow and had to be taken to Ames, where he was placed in care of the company's surgeon. It is not yet known whether he received serfous internal in- juries. Engineer Moore was not ipjured. Publie Library Movement. The movement to secure a larger number of tree public libraries in cities of lowa s progressing finely. The latest cities to get in line are Ottumwa and Dubuque. Both these cities have offers of $50,000 from Andrew Carnegle to help them along and both are preparing to take advantage of the generosity of the iron king. Ottumwa voted for a free public library at a speclal eloction held in September. On Monday of this week Dubuque also voted for a free pubife library. The vote in Dubuque showed that the women are taking exceptional in- terest in the work. The number of men who voted in the special election in Du- buque was 2,759, and 1,070 women also voted. This is the largest number of women that has ever taken part in any contest at the polls in that city. The women were practically unanimous for the free library, as only thirty-five voted aganst it. Tha majority for the library was 2,415, It Is intendod that about $20,000 will be raised by subscription to purchase a site for the new library bullding. Dubuque has a sub- scription library now. Myntery Cleared Up. The mystery of the disappearance of Mrs E. J. Nixon last July has been cleared up to the extent of proving that the body found in Towa river in Marshall county July 10, was hers. The clothing left in a satchel has been {dentified by her daughter, Mrs Firestine of Manchestor. SLe had started to Atlantic, and was not heard from again, Another daughter lives in Onawa Jobu C.

As a rule experience is fitable only to the individual who obtains When the aged man tries to save youth from inistakes such as he made, the youth smiles to himself: “The idea of that old fossil thinking that an up- to-date young man is going to make mistakes.” ft is a peculiar trait of human nature that each man thinks he is ittle smarter than the others, and that he will succee ' where others falled, “Oh, yes” says Smith, "I know that Eoor Jones got caj in the rapids, ut Joues never was a good haud at the ddle, It's a pity people like Jones all take such c&lm’n " And he smil- ingly launches his canoe to follow Jones alike in his feat and in his failure, THI EXTREME OF FOLLY. The most foolhardy man who ever risked his life, or thie most infatuated gambler who ever risked his fortune, is a sage compared with the man who attempts to get the best of Nature, The foolhardy man may succeed. The gambler may win, But the man who takes chances with Nature is bound to lose. If the obituaries of tens of thou- sands who are cut down annually in life's prime were truly written death would not be attributed to this or that form of disease, but to an attempt to evade the necessary laws of health. The weak spot in the modern man is his stomach. It is in disease of the stomach that many of the maladies begin which carry off the busy meu of t'c day. The seed of disease once planted in the stomach grows and reads like some climbing parasite about a tree. It throws out a tendril about the heart and presently another which grips the lungs, and others again which take hold of kidneys and liver. Then suddenly the mau is smitten by heart disease or lung diseasc; or suc- cumbs to some malady of kidueys or liver. The real seat of disease is the stomach. And one of the reasons why the diseases of the other organs often fall of a cure is that the treatment ignores the stomach, and attempts to - treat -directiy-the- other organs, whose diseases are only symptoms of disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, THERE'S PLENTY OF PROO¥ of the soundness of the proposition that diseases of other organs remote from the stomach which are caused by dis- ease of the stomach must be cured through the stomach, and, in fact, can- not be cured in any other way. = The best proof in the world is that Doctor Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery, a stomach and blood medicine, cures dis- eases of heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, ete., by curing diseases of the stomach and digestiva and nutritive systema, m ver, ki ) wzlch bafled t‘:.’ rl‘r:‘oul country,” writes Mr, E. L. Ransell, of Woolsey, Prince William Co, Va. I suffered with my stomach and back for a long time and after taking a quantity of medicines from three doctors, I grew 80 bad 1 could hardly do_ a day’s work. Would have death-like pains in the side, and blind spells, and thought life was hardly worth living. I decided to con. sult Dr. R. V. Pierce and his staff of physicians. They said my case was curable and I was greatly encou 1 began taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and *Pleasant Pel- lets,” as advised. Before 1 had taken half of the second bottle I began to feel relieved. I got six more bottles and nsed them, and am happy to say 1 owe my life to B Pierce and his medicines. These words are truths, as I live, 80 if this testimonial can be used inany way to be of benefit you need not hesi- tate to use it, I shall stand for the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Tnstitute as long as life lasts.” DON'T DELAY. Disease never leaps on a man like a lion from am- bush and strikes him down at a blow. However sud- denly a man may be stricken and however deadly the disease, the time was when it was a little thing, easy of con- trol, If you are suffering from indigestion, dyspep- sia, or any form of stom. ach “trouble,” dom't put off the proper treatment. | “Golden Medical Discov- ery” will cure diseases of the stomach and organs of digestion and nputrition | at any stage, but the cure will be quicker the earlier it is | begun, “For twelve long months T suffered untold misery,” writes Mrs. Mollie Col- gate, of Randolph, Charlotte Co., Va. N0 tongue could express the that 1 endured before T commenced taking Dr. Pierce's medicine. 1 was not able to do anything at all. Could not eat anything except bread and tea—or if 1 did the top of my bead bust so it seemed it would kill me; with all that I could do it would burn like fire, but now since taking ‘Golden Medical Dis- covery' I can eat a little of almost any- thing I want and can do a good day's work as well as anybody can. Am bet- ter than I have been for years. I think your medicine is the best that ever was made, for it is the only thing that ever did me any good, I tried many other kinds, but nove did me any good but our ‘Golden Medical Discovery' and anori;;e 2‘rc!‘cri‘\li£ln.'
