CLEARED A CLOUDED TITLE.
Linn County Land Owners FinnII
Made Happy.


DES MONIES, Jan. 25.-(Special Tele-
gram.) 1.-The local officers of the federal land
Office today received information from the
general land office at Washington that the
necessary work has been done to secure the
title to property in the city of Marion, Linn
county. About fifty years ago the super
vsors of that county appointed commission
to buy 1GO acres of land and plat it for
county seat. The site of what is now the
central part of the city Of Marion was
bought. The land was sold and the city
built on 1t. The propery is now worth about
s3,OOO,090. Several months ago it was dis
covered that the land was never patented
from the government to the county, although
the county had supposed this had been done
and had sold and given warranty deeds to
the lots The result was that there was not
a good title in the entire plat. The matter
was kept quiet for time and steps taken to
have the error remedied. This was difficult,
as some of the commissioners Of fifty years
ago were dead. But the matter leaked out
and caused quite a panic in Marion. After
a good deal of trouble the difficulty has been
settled and the title rghted through the
general land office.

GET FLESH.

Get Strength, Vigor, Clear Complexion
ana Good Digestion, Not by Patent
Medicine, Hut In Natures own Way.
Any honest physician will tell you that
there Is but one way to get increased flesh,
all the patent medicines and cod liver oils
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Nature has but one way to increase flesh,
strength and yigor. mind and body. and that
Is through the stomach by wholesome food,
well digested. There IL no reason or com-
mon sense In any other method whatever.
People are thin, run down, nervous, pale
and shaky in their nerves simply because
their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspepsia.
but the fact remains that they do not eat
enough food, or what they eat is not quickly
and properly digested, as II should be.
DR.. Harlandson says the reason is because
the stomach lacks certain digestive acids
and peptones and deficient secretion of gas
tric juice.
ply what the weak stomach lacks. There
are several good preparations which will do
this, but none so readily as Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets, which are designed especially
for all stomach troubles and which cure all
digestive weakness on the common sense
plan OF furnishing the digestive principles
which the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect d.
gestlon First effect is TO increase the appe-
tite, and increased ylgor. added flesh. pure
blood and strength OF nerve and muscle is
the perfectly natural result
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and will cure any form Of stom-
ach trouble except cancer OF the stomach.

MAPLE SYRUP FROM CORN cons
Industry I'm Iowa that is Expected
to Grow Rapidly.

10 grow RaptuIy.
CHEROKEE, Ia, Jan. Especially AT
different times during the past six months
articles have appeared in the press comment
ing on the art Of manufacturing maple syrup
from corn cobs. The fact that first class
article can be manufactured has been thor
oughly demonstrated by the recent success
of a citizen OF this county, who has surprised
the natives by making a syrup from cobs
that an expert cannot distinguish from the
genuine article. 1t has the color and taste OF
genuine Vermont maple syrup and is, so far
as can be told by taste and looks, almost an
exact reproduction. The party who is en-
gagged in the new industry is resident of
Marcus, Cherokee county and expects, in the
near future. to enter into the business on a
large scale, for which purpose stock COM
pany is already being formed.
Samples Of the syrup are being sent to all
parts of the country for inspection, and
should 1t give satisfaction, as it has at
home, the new industry will be paying one,
as it can be made for less than half the cost
OF the genuine and Is an excellent substitute.
People are going to Marcus every day from
the surrounding country and towns to inves-
tgate the matter, and all go away satisfied.
The process employed in obtaining these re-
suits is yet a mystery to the public as only
a select few have been taken into the secret
after solemn promise not to divulge any
Of the details.
Arthur Maltby proprietor Of the Cherokee
Steam laundry, and Miss Rhoda Elfrink a

ADVERSE TO THE FREE SHIP BILL
Senate Committee Unanimously Op-
posed to 1t.

WASHINGTON. Jan, 25,-The subcommit-
tea on shipping of the senate committee
today decided to report adversely the free
shipping bill providing for the admission Of
foreign built ships to American registry.
This bill had been recommended by the sec
retary Of the treasury and the commissioner
Of navigation. The negative vote was unan-
imous, including the three democratic mem
bers OF the committee, Messrs. German. Muir
ply and White.
The subcommittee authorized a favorable
report upon Senator Frye's bill to repeal the
provision In the existing tonnage tax law,
which relieves the,vessels OF other countries
from paying this tax when the governments
OF the countries to which the vessels belong
similarly relieve our vessels. 1t is under
stood that the administration is favorable
to this bill. 1t Is regarded by some as an
effort at retaliation against Germany for
her exclusion of American products.
