Home in Abba.

Home in Abba.
"Sherm" Gordon, one of the best
known and most popular Iowa Central
engineers, died Tuesday at the home OF |
his mother, Mrs. Eva Gordon, at Albia.
The cause of Mr.. Gordon's death was
consumption, with which he has been
a sufferer for some time. For the past
eighteen months he has not been able /.
to do much of anything. having worked
only about four months in the past |
year.
Mr. Gordon was in the service of the /
Central six years as an engineer con-
tinuing up till the time he became Ill.

of a fireman, making his employment
by the road cover a period of a bout
fourteen years.
For twelve years Mr.. Gordon was a
resident Of this city. making his home
for eight years with Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Meredith. His mother then
came to the city toreside and remained
here four years with her SON. About
two years ago Mr.. Gordon moved tot
Oskaloosa, and there he did his last
work. being on the chain gang out Of
| that point Last October, when the
healthPof Mr.. Gordon became such that
he was unable TO work longer, he went
TO san Antonio, Tex. for the winter.
and from thatEcity he only returned
week ago last Saturday.
.Sherln. Gordon was a man who
probably had as many friends on the 4
Central and among its employees as any
man on the road, and his death will be
learned with regret. He was member
of Marshall Division No. 1876 B. of L.
f., of Oskaloosa, altho his physical
l3condition prevented him from securing
any insurance in the order.

Mrs Melissa Blake, a resident of Ano-

jail last night under a commitment from
Judge Fitch, of the town of Anoka,
charging her with the serious crime of
having killed her baby.
The complaint charges that on Feb. IS,

wrongfully and with malice aforethought,
killed a female child, one week old, and
she is said to have confessed the terrible
crime.
The complaint upon which Mrs. Blake
was arrested was made by a woman
named Hannah Weaver, and the stories
regarding the death OF the infant are
somewhat conflicting.
AS nearly as could be ascertained the
crime was the result of a liaison between

cover It--Brings Suit to Get Pos
sesstOn-LeEaA Expense Now 5000.
OWATONNA, MINI, March S.-(Spe-
cial. DIR. e. w. Cooley, of Blooming
Pralrie, has made an appeal to the SUI
preme court in the case of Cooley VS..
hopperud. This action originally in
Volved the sum of $780, The costs in
Cured by both sides Of the controversy
now amount to nearly $500, and If the
action reaches the supreme court the
amount paid out to attorneys and in
other fees will aggregate something like
5000.
A year ago last fall steer belonging
to DR.. Cooley wandered away from his
farm near Blooming Prairie to the farm
of Gustave Kopperud, in the town of
Westf1eld, Dodge county. After several
days of search the animal was found, but
before he would give up possession .Kop-
perud demanded $3.50 in payment for
keeping the steer and for some damage,
which, 1t Is alleged, the animal caused.
DR.. Cooley believed the demand extor-
uonate and refused to pay the money.
Later he thought better of the matter,
but, when he offered Kopperud $3.50, he
found that the latter had also given the
matter some consideration and that he
wanted So. This the doctor absolutely
refused to pay and he Immediately
commenced an action in the justice
court to recover possession Of the steer.
The judgment was awarded to Cooley
and an appeal was taken by Kopperud
to the district court. In the June term
Of court the case was continued and in
the December term Judge Buckham re-
versed the decision of the justice court
and gave judgment to Kopperud. Since
that time DR.. Cooley has made an appeal
to the supreme court.
Each party in the suit has number
of witnesses, and by the time the case
gets through the supreme court the
litigants will find that, If the steer is
worth anything like the amount 1t has
cost them, 1t is very valuable animal.
The action gives promise of being as
ruinous to the parties concerned as the
celebrated chancery suit described in

point Of view. These important matters
We're the defeat Of Cronje and the de-
struction of q part of his force, and the
defeat of the Boer army in Natal, both
OF which were effected on Tuesday The
relief Of the besieged town followed as
matter Of course upon the retreat Of
the besieg1ng force. The relief of Lady
smith was, of course, a vital matter for
the British army. 1t is the result Of
Gen. Buffers continuous fighting,
coupled with Lord Roberts invasion Of
the Free State.
Gen. Butler appears to have been sur
prised that he had beaten the Beers on
Tuesday. Nothing is commoner in war
for an army after hard fighting to be
doubtful as to the extent of Its success.
Few generals learn, as Grant did in his
first command, that the enemy was as
much frightened Of me as I was Of him
The question now Is as to the future
course of events. There cannot be much
doubt as to the issue providing no for
eign power or powers intervene.
Lord Roberts can either order Gen.
Butler with the 40 900 of the united Natal
army to advance on Pretoria, while he
himself moves on Bloemfontein by the
Free State railway, or he can bring
around most Of Buffers force to rein
force his own army. In either case the
Boer strategists will have hard task
to make promising plan Of campaign
The best Boer plan is, perhaps, to leave
the rear guard to cover the passes from
Natal and to concentrate all the rest
of their forces to resist Lord Roberts. In
this way they might in a week from now
meet Roberts with perhaps equal num-
bers, but Roberts will be reinforced from
week to week, while the Beers cannot be
for the moment.
1.-THE impression seems to be there are
5000 or 1000 Beers within striking dis
lance Of Roberts at Osfontein. If that
is the case he will either dispense or cap
ture the small Boer force unless it re-
treats rapidly until reinforced.

INSURANCE COMPANY IN TROUBLE
Judge GIaspe1I, Jamestown, Appoints
Receiver for Western Mutual.

JAMESTOWN, N. D., March 3.-Upon
application of Commissioner of Insurance
Harrison Judge Glaspell, Of the district
court, has appointed Attorney 7. F. Nc
Cue, of Darlington, receiver Of the West
ern Mutual Insurance company, %f Fes-
sender, a hail insurance company, of
which It. f. Bieseker, of Fessenden, is
president. The company has assets esti-
mated at $15,000 and liabilities of from
$4,000 to $4,000. Suits have been pending
in number of courts of the state against
the company for some time, and the fail
ure is not altogether surprise to many
who rather expected that some action
would be taken. 1t is not believed that
the company will do any further bust
ness, the receiver being appointed to bring
its career to close.
The report Of the commissioner of in
surance for North Dakota shows that the
company wrote 263S risks in 1898. These
risks included $4,000 acres on which the
premiums paid amounted to 1914, 658.16 The
losses incurred were $48,599.80 and the
losses paid but $21, 545.60. In 1898 the COM
pany sustained severe losses In Walsh
and other counties of the state 1t seems
that the greater number of these losses
were unpaid and suit was brought In a
number of cases.

ONLY A SUGGESTION,
But 1t Has Proven of Interest and
Vnlue to Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that If
one wishes to become feshy and plump
1T can only result from the food we eat
and digest, and that food should be al
luminous or flesh-forming food, like eggs,
beefsteak and cereals: in other words,
the kinds of food that make flesh are the
foods which form the greater part of our
daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that. while we eat
enough, and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwork, does
not properly digest and assimilate 1t,
which is the reason SO many people re-
main thin and under weight; the diges-
tive organs do not completely digest the
flesh-forming beefsteak and eggs and
similar wholesome food.
There are thousands Of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or in
convenience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their preju-
dices aside and make a regular practice
of taking, after each meal. one or two
Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the food
would be quickly and thoroughly d.
gested, because these tablets contain the
natural peptones and diastase which
every weak stomach lacks, and by sup
plying this want the stomach is soon
enabled to regain its natural tone and
Yigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every
form of fiesh-forming food, meat, eggs,
bread and potatoes, and this is the rea-
son they 30 quickly build up, strengthen

Invalids and children. even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit
as they contain no strong, irritating

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
successful and most widely known Of

1t is the most reasonable and scientific
of modern medicines.

In Paris can be seen, written with chalk

there Is more Indifference on the sub
