OUTCOME OF AN AGENCY THAT FAILS

G. II. Scott, local attorney, is in tenn
porary possession OF an even dozen cash
registers and II the law allows him. and
the court awards it. he will sell them to
recover attorneys fee amounting to $50.
Scott was attorney FOR the Miller-Vastine
Manufacturing company Of Chicago, makers
of cash registers. Some time ago they ap-
pointed as their local representative J. w.
Mikesen. The agent signed contract, ana
the company sent him a lot of the ma
chimes. They did not sell as rapidly as
was anticipated, and Mikcsell found that
times and conditions made it probable that
his company would miss the sac of the
registers II they remained in his hands
any longer. He accordingly notified the
company that the machines would not sell,
and asked to be relieved of the agency.
The company responded with a civil suit,
claiming several hundred dollars damage.
The case was tried in the district court,
and was won by the company. No particular
effort was made to enforce the judgment
obtained, and none whatever was made to
pay their attorney. He brought suit in
Justice Durks court. and was yesterday
given a Judgment. An execution was is
sued Immediately, and Constable Hi Baird
levied on all of the machines that were
still in the possession of MkeSell Unless
the company appears and defends on jan
uary 2S the registers will be sold under
the execution.

itentiary conveying the intelligence that G
H. Harris. a convict, had died there yes
terday, and requesting the sheriff TO notify
the dead mans friends In Council Bluffs. A
careful searching of Jail and court records
failed to show that such a man had ever
been sent to prison from here. G. w, Har-
ris, a man convicted of stealing a COW and
selling 1t on the Omaha market. was taken
to Fort Madison prison by Sheriff Morgan
last year. He was still in the southern Iowa
prison as late as last month, when his wife
served notice upon him that she had secured
a divorce. The Jail records show James

that Haste In the House May
Mean Endless Tnnglcs

DIES MONIES, Jan. 2S.-(Special Tcle-
gram)-The house committee on code revi-
sion reported bill this morning. which
was not read hut as soon as its contents be-
came subject of rumor. 1t created a sensa-
tion 1t is a measure introduced in the
course of code revision, which proposes to
do away with the offices of state printer and
binder and have all state work done on
contracts. The committee reported the bill
after considerable opposition, and it is likely
to pass.
The house also received a code bill to re-
duce 81 day each the salaries of all em-
ployes of house and senate. The opposi-
tion failed to secure many votes, but it was
lively. The bill was branded as piece of
demagogy of the worst type and on
amendment was made by one of it's oppo-
nents to reduce the salaries Of members from
$3.50 to S.. This was lost. and the original
bill passed
Both houses did considerable work on the
code, but the senate found measures which
had been rushed through in the house in
such shape that they will have to go back
Indications from the slow progress made in
the senate thus far are that the session
will not last less than ninety days Sena-
tors declare that the haste with which The
house is pushing the code is liable to be
dangerous and will compel the senate to be
slow. Two hours was spent in the senate
trying to agree on remedy of a serious de-
feet in house bill and then 1t had to go to
a committee
There will be a great fight in the senate
over the house bill to reduce salaries of all
legislative employees. Its opponents de-
'clare it is a smooth plan of the Polk county
intuences to get the salary down to such a
point that people living away from Des
Moines cannot afford to come for legislative
positions, and all the places will be dis
tributed here The bill is likely to be de-
ieated in the senate. The cent fare move is

Disease that attacks the air tubes pro-
duCes sore irritated and intlamcd spots,
and in order to cure the disease the sores
must be healed. While nature usually
sons stated she has taught a few her plan
of curing. 1t was by initiating natures
own methods. recognizing wherein she had
failed, and doing what she had failed to
do that the splendid Treatment that
Cures" was created. IT is natures plan,
quickened and intensified by medical skill;
It Is natures plan assisted and improved
by medical knowledge until 1t is able to
relieve and cure the diseased parts while
they are at work. This treatment is based
on natures method of curing sore and in
famed structures. First, CLEANSING,
then PROTECTING, then HEALING.
When you receive wound that laccrates

dust and dirt that may nave gotten into
the sore and would prevent It's healing
Then nature forms n coating over the
wound to protect 1t from the entrance of
dirt or germs that may be in the air. Ma
ture then sets about to heal the inilamed
parts under the coverinS which she has
-'Treatment that Cures" follows natures
plan closely, only going further than ma
ture could go, supplying that which nature
falls to supply, furnishing a medication
that bathes and cleanses the diseased parts,
then coating over the parts with this same
dirt and germs into the lnfamed tissues;
then, by soothing and healing the sore
spots the disease Is entirely banished. More
than this, the medication that bathes the
diseased parts forms a covering that pro-
tects these parts for some time from other
