FOR ASSESSOR.

j. T. Smith the republican candi-
date for city assessor has been a res
ident of Ottumwa for a great many
years and has the reputation of doing
his duty He has faithfully served
in the capacity for which he seeks a
reelection and single act outside his
duty in this particular cannot be inn
puted to him.
Nothing is Of more Importance to
the people as a whole than that as
sessments be honestly made and each
citizen be made to bear his just pro-
portion of the burdens of the ex-
pense of municipal government. That
this has been the policy of Mr.. Smith
is, everywhere conceded. He may
have made some enemies but, ne did
his duty as he saw it and II elected
which is almost an assured fact will
continue along the line he has estab
lished. Vote for ]. T. Smith who will
without fear or favor, treat youl
rich neighbor the same as he does
yourself viz: by justly and equitably
listing your goods, chattels, moneys
and credits.

a, black eye for the Cummins crowd
who had hoped to draw much
strength from the Ninth district. It
is said that Mr.. Herriott only an
nounced his candidacy after a careful
canvass of the district, resulting in
assurances of practically unanimous
support The candidates now in the
race are Messrs. Perkins, Cummins,
Foster, Hartman, Herriott and Palm
err. There are other prominent citi-
zens of the state who are still consid-
ering the matter, and it is probable
that the state convention will have a
full dozen good men from whom to
make a selection. All of which goes
to indicate, in the opinion of many,
that if Minister Conger comes home
and permits the use of his name for
the nomination, it will be rendered to
him by reclamation.

TOM PHILLIPS FOR GOVERNOR.
(Dayenport Times.D

They have some very clever poll
ticians amcng the democratic breth-
rem down in the vicinity OF Ottumwa.
1t is in that place that Charley Walsh
lives G. A. Hoffman is closely asso-
ciated with Mr.. Walsh along political
lines. Mr.. Walsh is the secretary of
the democratic national committee
and Mr.. Hoffman is chairman of the
democratic state central committee.
An announcement appeared in the Des
Moines papers yesterday in which the
name of Tom Phillips of Ottumwa
was brought forth by these two gentle
men as an available candidate for gov
ernor on the democratic ticket. Now
Mr.. Phillips is the present mayor of
Ottumwa. He has been mayor for two
terms Recently at the city conyen-
ton he was turned down for a third
term tho he wanted an
other nomination. Mr.. Phillips has a
coterie of warm friends in Ottumwa
| and there was rather extended be-
| lief, in which Mr.. Phillips shared, that
/ Mr., Phillips had not been treated right.
Many of them insisted that he run, for
mayor on an Independent ticket.
There is no doubt that he would poll
large number of votes, and as most
of the votes would come from Demo-
Gratis, it is plain to see that the repub-
| licaus would be in a fair way to elect
their candidate, DR.. Spilman. There
has seemingly been no prospect Of
reconciling Mr.. Phillips to his turn
down. Now comes the astute
politicians on the scene. Mr..
Phillips is suddenly launch
ed out on the gubernatorial sea. That
means that Mr. Phillips would, Of
course, be out of the way in the com
ing Ottumwa campaign. Mr.. Phillips.
no doubt, fell into the scheme and
thought he would like to be governor.
And that's about all there is to it.
: These are only reflections that may
not be entirely born of facts. There
is probably more in them, tho, than
Mr. Walsh or Mr.. Hoffman would ad-
nit. The scheme If it is a scheme,
. must be put down as very clever
one.

NoMINEE FOR CITY CLERK.

J. H. Rheem is known perhaps to
every man, woman and child in OF
tumwa. At least the scope of his
friendships are limited only by the
number of his acquaintance. This
together with his unquestioned fitness
for the position of city auditor, makes
him an ideal candidate in whom the
people have confidence. Mr.. Rheem
will bring to the office judgment that
has been matured and ripened by
years of experience which together
with well grounded business methods
insures that the duties of the office
will fall into excellent hands Mr.
Rheem is vote getter and the favor
with which his candidacy is received
but attests the wisdom of his selec
ton from political point of view.

The talk which is being put up ii

The talk which is being put up in
democratic quarters that no one but a
lawyer should be elected police judge,
is all nonsense. The police court is
not called upon to pass upon ques-
tons of nearly so great importance as
justices of the peace. AS all know,
the majority Of the justices of the
peace, and among them some of the
very best officials that Wapello coun'
ty has ever had, have not been mem.
bers of the bar. John L. Moore, the
republican nominee for police judge
is citizen of mature Judgment and
wide experience. He has been three
times member of the Ottumwa city
council and is man in whom the
public places the most entire conf
dence. He will make a police judgs
than whom this city has never had
better and he will be elected to thu
position by very large majority.

THE REAL ISSUE.

That there is a serious disaffection
in the democratic party in this city is
indicated beyond all question by the
authorized announcement of Mayor
Phillips that he will not support the
democratic nominees at the coming
city election. Mayor Phillips would
not take this stand if he was not sup.
ported by many friends who had here
!tofore affiliated with the democratic
party. While this is true, however
the Courier does not believe that re
publicans should depend upon demo
cratic disaffection to win the victory
at the polls on election day. The PEG
| pie of Ottumwa want a clean, straight
forward business-like administration
| of city affairs. There are none tt
question the fact but that under thu
Keefe-P Picker regime, vice will flaun
itself brazenly even to greater ex
ltent than ever before in this city.

REBUILD THE KIDNEYS.

Any kidney or bladder trouble is a seri- ous one and should have early and right attention. The kidneys are slow to yield to disease and when they do, overwork Is the usual cause. An affected kidney is an exhausted one. impure blood has weak ened 1t; the remedy needed is one that will restore strength and rebuild the kid ney itself. This Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic will do It has been doing it for forty- five years and no other remedy has ever been held in such universal favor.
 The kidneys filter impurities out of the blood. When the blood is bad the kitjnavs get cloeged with these poisons. pr. Har- ter's Iron Tonic cures by neutralizinr ina impureties, by hastening their expulsion by building up the tissues of the Kidneys and by giving these organs more strenrtb and activity. While 1t is curing kidney and urinary troubles it is also repairin 2 all the delicate machinery of the body.
 This is the best of all tonics. It does everything that any ordinary tonic can do and very many important things that other remedies cannot do Nor can 1t do anything but good; 1t is absolutely harm less, and can be given to support the strength and to hasten the cure of any invalid. young or old. Ordinary iron sometimes harms. but the iron In Har- ter's Tonic Is in such form that 1t does no ham. It enriches the blood, strength ems the stomach and aids digestion.

REASONABLE HINTS.
Guard Your Health in Fall and Early
 Winter.

A change from warm to cold is always attended with more danger than from a cold to warm temperature, hence the greater mortality from lung and throat diseases at this season of the year as compared with spring.
 The best protection against colds Is not so much in extra clothing as in good di- gestion.
 If the digestion and circulation are good, colds will be unknown
 Poor digestion causes poor circulation of the blood and when in this condition severe colds are contracted on the slight est proyocation.
 People who make a regular practice of taking Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after meals are free from colds, simply because their digestion is perfect. the heart strong and regular, and the whole system forti- fled against disease.
 It requires little argument to convince anyone that the best safeguard against colds, pneumonia and changes of temper ature is a good stomach.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals are dissolved and mingling with the food cause 1t to be promptly digested they contain nothing but harmless diges- tive elements, which digest meat, eggs and other food even when the stomach itself is weak and flaccid.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make people we'll and keep them well, and the best habit you can acuire is to keep daily use of them at meals to make the diges- tive organs strong and vigorous.
