WINS HOUSE AND LOT.
Iowa Man Gets Property Worth
$62, 900 For 81.

Sioux City, iowa, Dec. 26.-B. NJ. Bills,
a jeweler of vinton, Iowa, invested 81
in a ticket which won a mansion and
grounds valued at $4,000. The John
Pierce property, easily the most mag
nlficent residence in Sioux City, was dis
posed of at a rattle. The house cost $751;
600, and the lot on which it stands would
be cheap at $1,000 Mr.. Bills thus comes
into possession of an extraordinary
Christmas present at a very small out
lay.
The drawing took place last evening
in the big Union passenger station in
the presence of an eager crowd of men,
women and boys. The tickets had been
on sale for several weeks, and the event
was one which was looked forward to
with great interest
The tickets were distributed all over
the country, having been sold in Chicago
and many other places. There was hard
ly a family in Sioux City which did not
hold at least one ticket, and many were
the fond dreams which were shattered
when the lucky number was announced
1t was IS, 365.
The tickets were brought down from
the Security National bank in a sealed
tin box. and a. timer from a local tin
store cut the tin so the tickets might pc
poured into cylinder. Everything was
done in plain view Of the anxious crowd
On every face was depicted the deepest
anxiety as the monotonous blank,
blank, was CdllGQ ny L. NJ
Anthony of Ruthven, Iowa After TWEEN
ty-two minutes of this strain the crowd
saw Mr.. Anthony throw up his hands
and shout House" There was greg
excitement and a surging in the crowd.
When the number was announced
there was hurried glancing into note
books and much inquiry of various
kinds, but not face lighted up in tri-
umph over good fortune. The lucky
ticket holder was many miles from
Sioux City.
John Pierce, who built the house. was
one of the big four in Sioux Citys
boom days. and at that time was
rated as a millionaire With the burst
ing of the boom, however, went Mr..
Pierce'S wealth.
The magnificent residence stands at
Twenty ninth and Jackson streets. AS
his wealth dwindled away Mr.. Pierce
found it necessary to mortgage the
house. During the last year he con-
ceived the plan of rafting it in order to
raise enough money to pay the mort
gage and have a margin besides. With
characteristic energy he pushed the
scheme which no other man ever would

HOME FROM THE WAR.
Members of Canadian Regiment in
South Africa Reach Toronto.

Toronto, Ont, Dec. 26.-ColoneI Otter
and q number of officers and men of the
first Canadian contingent which did
such excellent service in South Africa,
have reached here after an absence of
fourteen months.
Colonel Otter said that the Royal Ca
nadians reached South Africa 1,030
strong, and after six months service
were asked whether they would con-
tinue in the service or desired to return
home. To 9. man the regiment, then re-
duced through arduous service to $50
men, decided to serve six months longer.
At the end of the twelve months serv-
ice the Canadians were again asked to
make a. choice.
Three hundred Of the six hundred on
duty decided to return, as the war was
then considered to be over by those in
the field and their old situations were,
in almost every instance, awaiting
them. The others decided to remain
some time longer and did remain until
it became apparent that the campaign
had reached a guerilla. stage, when they
also decided to return.
The present operations IN South
Africa the colonel considered would not
last long. In spite of the alarming re-
ports and the operations of a guerilla
nature he did not consider that there
was any room for serious view of the
situation.
In conclusion he pointed out that from
first to last there was 947 casualties in
his command out of a total of 1000, but
many of the men, of course, were able
to resume service after a few days
treatment in the field hospitals.

FIFTY TONS OF CANDY
Have Been Sent to Our Soldiers In
the Philippine Islands by
the Government.

Fifty tons of candy have been sent to
the soldiers in the Philippine Islands by
the commissary department of the army
during the last three months and large
amounts to the soldiers in Cuba and
Porto Rico.
This IS done upon advice Of the nedl-
cal officers Of the army, because it is a
physiological fact that a moderate cor
sumption of confectionery promotes
health and satisfies a natural craving of
the stomach
Candy was never furnished to the
United States army before although it
has been commonly used as a ration by
the French and British troops in the
tropics
This explodes another old fashioned
theory that sweets were injurious to the
digestive organs, while a moderate usa
of sweets is actually beneficial.
Very few things are Injurious and the
food craHks who advocate the use of
Few grains and vegetables and decry the
use of sweets and meats are In error as
a wholesome variety Of meat and vege-
table food is absolutely necessary for
the maintenance of the highest condition
of health.
The best rule to follow is to eat what
the appetite Graves and if there is any
discomfort or trouble in dfgesting meat
and sweets. the difficulty can be readily
overcome by the regular use after meals
of some safe digestive composed Of pep
sin and diastase which viii assist the
stomach by increasing the flow of gas
trio juice and furnish the natural xep-
tone lacking in weak st0nnachs.
The best preparation of this kind is
probably Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
which may be found at all drug stores
Years OF use have demonstrated the
value and effectiveness of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets in all cases Of impaired
digestion.

HE WANTED A KISS.
Montana Young Woman Swears Out
Complaint at Red Lodge.

Red Lodge Mont, Dec. CIV. F.
Meyer, Republican state senator-elect
last week had his seat contested by the
Democrats, and this morning Dora Full
Ierton, a highly respected lady living on
a ranch a few miles from town, swore
out a complaint, charging Meyer with
assault in the third degree.
The filing of this complaint is the CHI
max to a scandal which has been the
talk of the town for the last week. Miss
Fullerton declares she went into Meyer S
office a few days ago on an errand for
her sister and he without a word OF
warning threw his arms around her ana
demanded kiss. Being a strong girl
she managed to break away and fled
from the office. She has been practically
