WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Is Not what Makes Remedy valuaol e

Testimonials are good things and we
are always glad to get them, but they
don't make our remedy any better.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are good
because they do good-because they
cure.
Testimonials simply prove that the
tablets have helped other people, but
it's yourself you are most interested
in, and whether they will cure you
is the question.
1t is very easy to find out--try them.
A full package costs but fifty cents at
your druggists. They are worth that
if they only help you little bit. The
chance Is worth taking at the price.
We put 1t on that basis because you
don't know about the tablets. If YOU
knew as much about them as we do
you would have complete condolences;
this advertising would be unneces-
sary. We have seen them cure the
worst cases of stomach trouble. Cases
OF long standing and obstinacy, cases
that other medicines and even high
priced doctors had failed to subdue.
Here are some testimonials. If you
care to read them we have thousands
of them:
Rev. ]. II. Hoag. Of Wymore, Ne
braska, writes: For six years have
been troubled with dyspepsia. Last
fall | became very much alarmed at
some symptoms of heart trouble and
came to believe there was sympathet,
ic relation between the two diseases,
or rather, that the stomach trouble
was the cause of the heart disturb
ance. / hit upon Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets for q remedy and invested
dollar and half for three boxes
which lasted me three months and
can eat any kind of food | want and
have n good vigorous appetite. Al
though | am seyenty.seven years old
! now feel perfectly well and without
being requeGted by anyone / make
this statement as compliment to the
virtues Of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets.
Mrs. Lydia Bnrtram, of Assyria
Mich, writes: | have suffered from
stomach trouble for ten years and five
different doctors gave me only TEN.
porary relief. A Mr. e. Il. Page ad.
vised me to try Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and four boxes did me more
permanent benefit than all the doc
tors medicines that | have ever taken
We honestly believe that Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets are the best med.
icine ever made for the cure of stom.
ach troubles.
Don't mistake our meaning. We
don't claim them to cure anything but
dyspepsia and stomachic disorders
Just the one thing Is what they are
made for but that one thing is the
cause.-The starting point of nearly all
the sickness IN the world.
Use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets reg.
ularly. Keep your stomach right, and
you can never be sick.

mete that fitting tribute to those who
have exalted the profession. We
doubt if any other county bar in the
state has furnished an equal number
of men who have achieved greatness
in the state and nation and have
been more justly honored by their
fellow men.
In.the list of those who have gone
before, are two men who have served
with distinction in congress, M.
E. Quits and VIM. Loughridge. One
was chief Justice of Iowa the lament
ed w. II. Sewers. Three others
have served on the bench, James
Rhinehart, J. K. Johnson and M. T.
Williams. Another was Brigadeer
General in the war of the Rebellion,
the Justly honored Samual A. Rice.
James Sewers was also a captain in
the service and gave up his life at
the early age of 36 for his country.
j. r Needham was lieutenant gov
ernor of the state and was otherwise
honored. He was also the founder
of The HERALD, which for fifty
years has stood living monument

ment of the man.

STILL SUPRRSTTPIOUS.

The writer is informed by lady
who came to Oskaloosa from Abba
last Friday on the same train that
brought r. w. Bowers, the theatrical
man who committed suicide, that he
expressed an abhorance of the num-
Der 13. He was talking about his
troupe and some one asked him when
they would be in Oskaloosa. He took
out his date book and replied: II
wished you had not asked me. 1t
will be the thirteenth. / am afraid
OF. that figure 13. My wife died on
the 18th of the month, and so did
my boy." Tears filed his eyes as he
spoke, and he shook his head as if
trying to dispel unpleasant memories.
The incident might have been for
gotten had he not committed suicide
on the 18th.

WILL Make DEMAND.

If John P. Reese, the newly elected
president of the Iowa Division of
United Mine Workers, is quoted corr
rectly by Des Moines paper there is
trouble ahead for the coal business
in this state. He isreported as saying:
"While Iowa is not in the scale
combine Of the eastern states, we are
on the same basis as the miners in
those other states now, and we in
tend to remain SO. On the first of the
coming April, the scale In those states
will be increased % per cent over the
present prices, and we intend to have
the same increase go into effect In
Iowa"
He further states that this increase
will come from the consumers in place
Of the operators, as the price of coal
win be forced up accordingly.

--Lynnville Ledger: There is a
great deal of dog-in-the-manger in
connection with the opposition to the

lie printing. The Ledger does not be-
lieve in contract work in connection
with state printing and binding, as
we know at least one state where
such a system is in vogue, and the
result is ruinous prices and very in
ferior work. A great deal of this
noise we now hear relative to public
printing and binding, is coming from
people who delight in hearing them
selves holler.

WATERSON s PROPHESY.

Two days before the passage of the
Goebel law Col. Waterson, of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, opened
an editorial with these words:
1.-THE people may well stand aghast
before the revolutionary election bill
which has, like some dread monster,
suddenly emerged from the Businesses
of passion and error through which
the legislature has been treading its
tortuous way"
The colonel was right. The people
of Kentucky may well stand aghast
now, if they did not when Waterson
sounded the alarm. Further on in
the same article Mr. Waterson said:
"Granting that with the machinery
of this law in his hands, Goebel's
ambition may be, probably will be,
gratified, what should it profit him
if he gain the rulership of the uni
verse and lose his own soul, ,and along
with it his good name as the slayer
of civil liberty?"
The colonel's question looks quite
as formidable now as it did when it
was written.

An Open Letter to Rev. Scott w.
Smith.

Chicago, Feb. 16, 700.
Dear SIR My attention has been
called to your letter "Food for
Thought" published in THE OsKA-
LoosA HERALD of Feb. IL, in which
you say:
1.-THE presiding officer of the Ohio
Liquor League at its annual meeting
said: The success of our business
is dependent largely upon the crea.
tion of appetite for drink The open
field for the creation of this appetite
is among the boys. After men are
grown and their habits are formed
they will rarely ever change in this
regard. 1t will be needful therefore
that missionary work be done among
the boys, and make the suggestion,
gentlemen, that nickels expended in
treats to the boys now, will return
dollars to your tills after the appetite
has been formed"
You give this statement on your
word of honor as Minister of Christ
as fact. You do not say that it was
rumored, or that you had been in
formed, but simply quote it as fact.
Sir, demand of you, who was the
gentleman who made this Infamous
statement? Where was it made?
And when?
We have been trying to have these
questions answered for the past five
years and the Ohio State Liquor
League has a standing offer of $500
to be donated to any charitable in
stitution, to be named by the person
who will prove this statement.
Now, you give this statement as an
absolute fact, and your standing as a
Minister of Christ would prevent you
from doing so unless you were alb
solutely certain that it was true.
am anxious to hear your explain.

| citizens of Oskaloosa.

EQUITABLE LIBEL LAW.

The Iowa Evening Press Association
in their recent convention at Iowa
City suggested a change in the news
paper libel law which we believe
should be enacted into the statute.
1t is not intended to encourage the
black-mailer and mud singer to ex-
tend his work of character blacken-
ing, but to afford relief to the honest
newspaper publisher who makes a
mistake or is led into error by some
designing person. AS the law now
stands an editor may be put to much
expense and unpleasant notoriety by
simply making a mistatement, which
would gladly be corrected to save
any trouble, if that would end the
liability. Where no malice is shown
we think this should be sufficient.
The change suggested by the resolu-
ton adopted by the association is as
follows:
"Before prosecution for libel the
publisher shall be called upon by the
aggrieved party for retraction, and
that il such retraction Is made in as
public manner as the publication COM
planned of, then it shall rest upon the
plaintiff to prove that the publisher
was actuated by malice"

A Neighborly Deed.

Not long ago Mrs. Vanderlinden, a
widow lady living west of town, lost
nearly all of her stock, including her
only COW. Mr.. w. s. Bland, neigh
Dor, through sympathy for the lady,
went among her friends and neigh.
bors in and about the city and at
Taintor, where she used to live, and
took up subscription, which reached
$40, enough to buy her good cow,
which he presented to her. The
lady wishes to express her sincere
thanks to those who contributed to
the fund and especially to Mr.. Bland
who spared neither time norlabor In
raising the amount.

GOOD NE WSPAPERS.

Age and good management are the
necessary elements of successful
newspaper. These elements are
possessed in a large measure by the
Keokuk County News and the Wash
ington Evening Journal, two of the
brightest exchanges that come to our
table. The News has just passed its
fortieth birthday, and for the past
% years has been under the guidance
of w. H. Needham and his sons,
each of whom is an all-around news
paper man. 1t has grown wonder
fully in the past few years and its
goal is not yet reached.
The Washington Evening Journal
while only six years old, is one Of
the marvels in Iowa Journalism.
How j. Logan Payne succeeds in
getting out as good daily paper in
town no larger than Washington is
a surprise to those acquainted with
the enormous expense attached to
the makeup of a daily paper. 1t has
grown and developed wonderfully
and has been good investment for
the owner, as we are glad to know.
