The Petition j. Adequate.

MaGshalltown, Feb. 20.-This city
will be wet indefinitely, despite the re-
cent supreme court decision. The new
petition of consent for saloons operas-
ing under the Iowa mulet law filed re-
Gently, has been thoroly canvassed in
the past week by the county board of
supervisors, and Saturday the board
unanimously decided that the petition
was adequate, having majority Of
seventy-two bona fide signatures of
citizens who voted at the last regular
election. The petition has been stub
bornly fought on technicalities by the
opposition, who served notice of appeal
to the courts. 1t is the general belief,
however, that the petition is sufficient,
and eighteen saloons are in full blast.

Intended as an extension of the Das

its Iowa and Dakota division at, Spen-

Minnesota division at Lakefield and al
so affording another st. Paul and Miu-

Grinnell, Feb. 20.-R. NJ. Haines, Pr;
has been rendered and has accepted the
position of private secretary to Hon.
John r. Lacey, NJ. G. from the Sixth

Haines will leave for Washington Tues
day next. The salary is 500 per month.
Mr.. Haines has been in practice here
for about two years, making his Office
with Haines & Lyman. He has made a
very nice start in the practice, but feels
that a few months in Washington,
while congress is in session, will be a
grand school for. a talented and amti-
tious young man. So he has accepted
the position and has deferred the OPEN
ing of an Office on his own account IN

acts
for
Women

Any article, whatever it's merit,
must be made known to the public BY
means of advertising. Advertising,
however, though it can do much for !
thing, cannot do everything. It NAV
create sale for a time, but in order
to insure a lasting demand the thing
advertised must have solid worth.
This is the case with Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. 1t has
solid worth.
Women everywhere have learned
this fact. and the result is that there
is a lasting and absolutely unequaled
demand for it. 1t has the largest sale
of any remedy for female ills in the
world, and this has been the case for
years.
The reason for this is that Mrs.
Pinkham claims nothing that she is
not entitled to claim. She can do all
that she says she, can do, and her
twenty years of experience make her
advice invaluable. Her experience has
been not only long but worldwide,
and she has helped more women back
to health than any one else in the
world. These facts should, and do,
have immense weight with all sensible
women. Remember these are not wild
statements but solid facts.

Communication From a Former
Ottumwa Boy.
SAYS END OF RESURRECTION is NEAR
Greatest Desire of Filipinos When Hue
Coats Heave In Sight IL to Get Away
-Says Otis VIII Vet Get the
Credit He Deserves.
From Wednesdays Daily.


Charles A. Peach is in receipt OF a
letter from Capt. Eckers, now in the
Philippine Islands, seeing service With
the Thirty-second infantry, United
States Volunteers. The captain is
stationed in Santa Anna, and says
that they get but few chances to fire
their pieces, because when they run
onto bunch of natives their sole de-
sire seems TO be to get away from that
vicinity. Mr.. Eckers says that the
end of difficulty is in sight and thai
General Otis will yet receive the credit
he deserves. After writing of personal
matters, the captain says:
You say you hope that | am COW
ering myself with mud and glory L
want to assure you that / have been
covered with the former several times
and now consider that am graduate
in that line. AS to the latter-well, it
is little slow in coming; at least the
kind of glory that buys man any
thing. But in our opinion (prejudiced,
of course) any man who is shut up in
a dirty little hole like this and sees
nothing but lot of half-civilized an.l
half-clothed 'niggers, deserves, at
least, leather medal. We have not
had chance to shoot our guns eN-
cepting a few times when we have run
onto a small party OF natives w:s1
guns and whose sole thought is to get
away from us. Occasionally we ae;.r
of some fellow who has some guns in
his house, and when we go to look for
them he has either moved them. or
perhaps never had any. We have cap
tured in all about twenty-five guns,
mausers and Remingtons, since we
have been here. think that these are
about all there are in this locality.
There is nothing of interest that l
could tell you that you have not seen
in the newspapers. The insurrection is
broken in the northern part of the ISL
and, but think there will be two or
three months more of fighting south of
Manila. You can rest assured of one
thing, however, and that is that the
end is already in sight, and General
Otis will yet receive the credit he de-
serves.
l am as well as I ever have been and
the whole company is standing it re-
markably WELL There is some dys-
entary in the company and also some
malaria, but nothing serious. We
haven't man in the hospital.
Please give my regards to all the
boys in the company and to my cid
friends. Your old comrade,
~ Eckers.

From Wednesdays Daily.

j. A. Strader has commenced suit in
the district court against WapelIo
county to recover the assigned fees of
certain persons who served at the spe-
cial election called for the purpose of
voting tax. to aid in the construction
of the Ottumwa & Northern railway
company. 1t will be remembered that
like suit was commenced last sum-
mer before Squire Ballard against the
city ana the railway company and
Judgment rendered against them for
that amount. The defendants appeal
ed to the district court and the iudg-
#ment of the court below was substan-
tally reversed a. few weeks ago. Then
the plaintiff in this action filed a claim
against the county which the board
of supervisors rejected. Going upon
the theory that somebody or corpora
ton is liable for the fees of the cleo
tion officials which Mr.. Strader bought
he has now commenced suit against
the county. In his petition he alleges
that petition singned by majority
of the freehold tax payers of the city
of Ottumwa was presented to the city
council of the. city of Ottumwa asking
that petition signed by majority
purpose of submitting to the qualified
voters the question as to whether or
not said election was called and the
legal formalities gone thru with and
Hague Kent, Lou Davis, Charles B.
Jones and Charles Hendricks were du-
ly appointed and qualified as members
of the registration board; that they
served four days at $3.50 per day each.
That payment of said amount had been
refused by the railway company and
the claim presented by the plaintiff to
the board of supervisors had been
rejected. Wherefore plaintiff asks
Judgment against the defendant, Wa
Pello county, for the sum of $40. At
tached TO the petition is an agreed
statement of facts in which the above
allegations are set out and on which it
is agreed that the court may deter
mine the liability of the county. Nor.
ris d Lowen berg are attorneys for the
plaintiff.

HE wILL'N0T ACCEPT.
Capt Hntehison Does Not want Posi-.
tionon BOARD OF Control.


The possibility of Captain j. G.
Hutchinson, of this city, becoming 1,
member of the state board of conScol,
was settled once and for all this af-
ternoon by a Telegram which he for
Warded to Governor Shaw, declining
the honor and position. This will be
a surprise to the many friends OF Cap
tain Hutchinson, especially since it fol-
lows so closely on the following para-
graph. which appeared in the Des
Moines paper. and in substance. vas
printed as a special in other state pa
pers this morning:
y. G. Hutehison, of Ottumwa, spent
Monday. in the city Investigating the
duties and responsibilities attached to
the position OF. member of the boa:d
OF control. He has declined the APP
pointment at the disposal of Govern
or Shaw heretofore, but it is said that
he is now thinking seriously, upon re-
newed suggestion from the governor,
OF accepting it. His decision will be
made today"
Captain Hutchison returned from
Des Moines last evening. He has weigh
ed the matter carefully and his decis-
ion lis final. He said today: .finv-
ernof ohaW very kindly gave me the
opportunity to go to Des Moines and
investigate, and deliberate over this
matter. There Judge Kline and Mr..
Cownie permitted me to examine all
the books and the business and rou-
tine work OF the Office. I feel that I
could make myself efficient in the
work, but after most careful and
conscientious deliberation OF the mat
ter decided ! would not permit my
name to be presented for confirmation
for the appointment. Were to take
up the work it would involve almost
a sacrifice of my business, which can
not afford to do under any circum-
stances. Besides it would take me aio-
,solutely out of the things in life
which one full of energy and aspira-
ton enjoys"
