TELL ABOUT 1T.
An Ottumwa Citizen is Pleased to do
1t for the Benefit of Others

When you know good thing tell it.
1t will not lessen its goodness.
But will do good to Others.
There's more misery just like it.
There are lots of lame backs in OF
tumwa.
It's busy place and backs are used.
There's urinary trouble TO large ex-
tent.
Colds affect the kidneys.
The kidneys are the cause, not the
colds.
Keep them in shape aud life is life.
Doan's Kidney Pills do perfect work.
Are for the kidneys only.
Ottumwa people testify 10 their merit.
Here's a case of it:
Mrs. Elizabeth Bowen, of 1873 Clayton
ave-. says: 81 found Doan's Kidney
Pills most valuable aid for dispelling
aching pains through the Kidneys.
There was 4 time when | had very
bad back and as Ottumwa is somewhat
billy this made it hard for me to get
around and even walking a little fast
caused the pains in my loins to become
eXcruciating for the time being. This
was my condition for at least several
years. Doan's Kidney Pills which L
| procured at Will L. Sargent's drug
store was the first medicine that ever
gave me real and lasting relief. l have
been subjected to exactly the same
conditions but my back has not hurt
me since using them. | have told my
lady friends how good and reliable
Doan's Kidney Pills are, and will con-
tinue to do so. for I know the user of
them will not be disappointed in Sc
curing the expected results"
For sale by all dealers. Price so
cents.

From Tuesdays Daily.
There was lone man in police
court this morning, and such sorry
looking individual the magistrate and
the police officers have not had before
them for long time. He gave his
name as Thomas Donough, and ne
pleaded guilty to the charge OF being
drunk and disorderly. For this he
was given fine of $50.
1t was further charged against Don
ough that he had fought, while intoXi-
Gated with his former wife, now Syl-
via McBee, and also that he had taken
an overcoat from the Phillips store,
which he sold to Tom Grace. The po-
lice Judge said when he assessed the
fifty dollar fine, that the prisoner
should be locked up pending an inves-
| tigation of the latter details of the
charge which had been preferred
against him.
a Choking Case.
C.. B. Castle was charged by his
wife with having forcibly choked her,
and upon pleading guilty, so the Off
GERS of the police department state, he
was fined $25. The officers state that
Mr.. and Mrs. Castle separated last
Saturday, and that it was while he
was attempting to pursuade her to re.
turn to his fireside, that he applied his
fingers to the womanss throat. Not
withstanding the plea of guilty which
Castle is said to have made, he has in.
4 formed Police Judge Hall that he will
appeal the case.

DOES NOT AFFECT SCHOOLS.
An ottumWa Attorney Expresses Fills
Opinion in Regard to Titus Law.

Opinion in Regard to Titus Law.
81 think, since carefully reading the
text of the much-talked-of Titus
amendment to the election law" said
a prominent Ottumwa attorney to a
Courier representative, today, that it
will not affect in any way, the manner
or time of the election of members
of the board of education, nor in fact
any of the officers of the city. 1t is
my candid belief that the law is sup
posed to apply only to elections over
which the county board of supervisors
has control.
81 believe that it is the intention in
the future, as heretofore, to keep school
elections out of politics. 1t is barely
possible that the law can be twisted
about in some manner SO as to have
the municipal elections held in the
fall, but l cannot believe that there
will be any change from the present
manner and time of holding them.
THAT the Titus amendment refers
solely to county elections, ETC., is very
evident to me"
Another Opinion.
The statement made above was
brought about by the speakers hav.
| ing read the following taken from a
Cedar Rapids paper which says:
a new complication has been dis
covered in the application of the I'll
tus amendment. Under the terms 81
that law city and school officers will
hold over from spring till fall and all
lspring elections will be abolished"

A young horse, hitched to a Lara

INJURED ON THE RAILROAD.
James Sheehan Struck by Burlington
Train Last Evening.

From Tuesdays Daily.
James Sheehan, who resides about a
mile east of the city, was quite badly
while walking along the Burlington
be found who witnessed the accident,
so that it is not known how it was
caused. 1t is presumed, however, that
Mr.. Sheehan, who is said to have been
somewhat under the influence of LID
uor, was walking along the tracks en-
route home, when the Burlington push
er engine struck him. The darkness
made it impossible for him to see the
engine, in all probability, or if he saw
the headlight and tried to get out the
way he may have stepped in front of
the engine.
Fractured His Skull.
He was rendered unconscious when
struck, and he received severe injuries
about the face and head, including a
fracture of the skull about two inches
in length, and also numerous bruises
on the face and back of the head. The
police were called and the injured
man was taken to the hospital, where
he was attended by Drs. j. B. Wilson
and A. o. Williams.
At the hospital this morning Mr.
Sheehan was unable to explain how
his injuries were received, saying that
he did not know anything about it
He is a miner, about AS years of age
and he resides at the Colligan home
east of the city. 1t seems that he has
no relatives in the city, altho he has
been here for some time and Ii
