DOUD'S FRIENDS ACTIVE
Will Seek to Have Governor
Shaw Rescind His Action
Revolving Parole.
bearing to Come On Monday at
Des Moines-.Petition Be.
Ing Circulated.
Pardon Secretary Figures Doud
will Have Only Short
Time to Serve.

The friends of Milo Doud, the Tim
Der Creek farmer who was on Friday
taken to Fort Madison to serve out the
balance Of a fourteen-year sentence
because the governor had revoked
parole issued in 1897. are preparing to
make strong effort to have Governor
Shaw rescind his action. For this
purpose it has been arranged to have
the matter reviewed in the governors
office next Monday.
A petition is being circulated in both
the county and city asking that Doud
be given his freedom again, 1T being
alleged that those who procured the
revokation of the parole did SO thru
spite. and that the action was the re-
suit Of recent episode in which
neighbor had Doud arrested on several
charges of assault. In each of these
cases Doud was acquitted in justice
court. Doud is now AZ years of age,
and while his friends admit that he
has bad temper. they insist that he
has made fairly good citizen since
his release five years ago. On the other
hand 1t is alleged that Doud has been
drinking some of late. which is con-
trary to the provisions Of the parole.
While the parole. which Is in printed
form. specifically says that in case of
violation the prisoner must serve the
fun sentence beginning with the time
of release. Pardon Secretary Richards.
OF the governors offlce, says this is
not the case now. and that the law has
been changed. Sheriff Shoemaker was
In Des Moines Friday and Mr.. Richards
informed him that Doud would be CIV
en- credit for all good time not for
feited and that II he had lost no time
by infractions of the prison rules dur
ing his Incarceration he would now
have but ten or eleven months to
serve.
At the hearing Monday before the
governor Doud will be represented by
an attorney and several of his friends.
It IL claimed that the petition asking
for his release will contain $50 or more
names. and that all of Doud's neigh
bors have signed 1t, with one excep-
ton.

Pleases.
Teachers Go to Various Places
to Spend Their Holiday
Vacations.

The fourth number of tie popular Y.
during the present month, was double
entertainment, with the Lyric Ladies of
Chicago and Elias Day. The crowding of
three entertainments into one month
was not desired by the association, but
could not be avoided, as when the course
was arranged Professor Clark's date
was left open. Later 1t was foundl nee
essary to give him date between the
Woodbridge concert and the Lyric Ladies.
The Lyric Ladies and Elias Day do
not travel together, but the association
by special arrangement gave their pat
rons two entertainments in one on Fri
day evening at the Methodist church.
1T was perhaps fortunate that this was
SO, because one of the members OF the
ladies' quartet, Miss Hattie Won Bergen,
was sick Friday evening and could not
appear and the concert was disappoint-
ing. Her place was taken In the one
quartet number sung by Miss Elizabeth
Van Horne, the pianist. The program
rendered by the Lyric Ladies was, I'M

but five numbers were rendered aside
from the encores. Miss Van Horne's

Following the concert Mr.. Day pro-
ceeded to entertain the audience for
more than an hour. He explained that
he was not an impersonator, but char

terizations that was pronounced by far

LOCAL COMMENT.

Those letters to Santa Claus printed in
recent issues OF the T.-R. have added
proof to the contention Of many observ-
ers that the public schools Of today are
producing the poorest generation Of or
thographers since the days when the
backwoods log school house was the al
ma mater OF majority of the people OF
this land. Observant parents have dis
cussed with theoretical educators the
merits OF the synthetic system Of spell
Ing adopted several years ago in Mar
shalltown and now in almost universal
use, and have maintained that the sys-
tenn was wrong and harmful and could
not be otherwise until the words of the
English language are spelled phonetic
ally. The synthetist has maintained
that the Pollard system is short cut
to the desired end, but this Is no argu-
ment in its favor If pupils are not able
to learn to spell. The Santa Claus letters
bristled with the effects OF the synthet-
lie method. When school pupils 10 and IL
years of age persist in spelling skates
without an E, and hundreds of similar
words Theoretically, there Is certainly
something radically wrong with the sys-
tenn that teaches children how to write
before they know one letter Of a word
from another. There are many people
right here in Mashalltown whom 1t
would be hard to convince that synthes-
is as applied to photography Is anything
Marshalltown, as some of the teachers
are avoiding it as far as possible.
There is every reason to believe that
Marshalltown's public building bill will
be favorably acted upon by the present
congress. and those inclined to become
impatient should remember that these
measures must take their course in the
slow grind Of congressional legislation.
Congressman Cousins Is using his best
endeavor to push the bill thru, as he did
at the previous session. The first bill
was held up at the last session, with
many others, by the committee, because
there was no hope of securing additions
al legislation or an appropriation at that
time. That Marshalltown has not Sc
cured government building ere this is
due to the inaction of her own citizens,
who failed to even ask for one until two
years ago. When Congressman Cousins
learned Of Marshalltown's desires at
that time he introduced a bill without
awaiting the receipt Of the citizens
petitions, which We're received and filed
with the committee on Jan. 49, 1900, and
the bill had been introduced by Mr..
Cousins on the day previous to their re-
ceipt. None but political demagogue
will claim that public building bills can
be rushed thru congress In a week or a
month by any congressman, no matter
how influential he may be, and none but
those who prefer political thunder to a
public building would criticize when the
city's interests In this regard are being

TRiLBY IN REAL LIFE.

Or. Cluackenbo Tells OF Young Ae-
trsss Achieving Fame Under Hyp-
motifs Spell.
New York, Dec. 21.-Dr. ]. Duncan
,Quackenbos, emeritus professor OF psy-
chology in Columbia, astonished his
associates of the Medico-Lega Society
at the Plavano Hotel, in West Thirty
fifth street, on Wednesday night by tell
ing them how a young actress bounded
into fame in single night under q
hypnotic spell.
That spell was put upon her by DR..
Quackenbos, who is one of the greatest
authorities on hypnotism in the world.
1t is u case OF Trilby in real life. The
actress was brought to DR.. Quackenbos
by her manager. She had been attacked
by stage fright as the time for her APP
pearance as a leading woman APP
preached. Her manager tried to reas-
sure her, but his efforts were unavailing,
and as a last resort he took her to DIR.
Quackenbos Professor Quackenbos &C
copied the case with enthusiasm.
He threw the actress into the hypnotic
state. The suggestions made to the ac-
tress were in part disclosed by DR..
Quackenbos to the psychological section
of the Medico-Legan Society. He re-
ferred to the actress as IAN actress in

at a single bound to fame and fortune"
After treating by hypnotism," he
said this lady went before the foot
lights a consummate mistress of her art.
to be curtained several times after the
climax of the play"
The suggestions made by Dr.Quacken-
hos to the actress after she had been
thrown into the hypnotic condition were
partly as follows:
You are now in a position to realize
your talent and your power over it's ex-
preston, and you are going on the stage
free from all agitation.
Your acting turnout will be consist
ent with this Interpretation, sincere and
natural In It's tone.
Realizing the efficiency within you,
your whole being instinct with an In
tense vitality, you will naturally and
cast into your art all
the magic that fascinates, all the con-
troll that holds an audience from first to
last-your self possession retained, but
your self-consciousness all but SUBJ

TITS IMPORTANT.
To Know What You Are Taking When
Usino Catarrh Medicines.

To Know What You Are Taking When
Using Catarrh Medicines.
Catarrh is the short route to consump-
ton, and the Importance of early and
judicious treatment of catarrh, whether
located in the head, throat or bronchial
tubes, can not be too strongly empha-
sized.
The list of catarrh cures is as long as
the moral law and the forms in which
they are administered numerous and
confusing. from sprays, inhalers, wash
es. ointments and salves to powders,
liquids and tablets.
The tablet form Is undoubtedly the
most convenient and the most effective.
but with nearly all advertised catarrh
remedies 1t is almost entirely a matter
of guess work as to what you are TAX
ing into your system, as the proprietors.
while making all sorts Of claims as to
what their medicines will do. always
keep it close secret as to what they
are.
The success and popularity of the new
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
is largely because 1t not only cures ca
tarrh. but because catarrh sufferers who
use these tablets know what they are
taking into their systems. Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets are composed OF red gum,
blood root and similar valuable and an
tiseptic ingredients, and are pleasant to
the taste and being dissolved in the
mouth they take immediate effect upon
the mucous lining Of the throat, nasal
passages and whole respiratory tract.
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets have accomplished in old chronic
cases of catarrh are little short OF re-
riarkable. and the advantage OF know
ing what you are putting into your
stomach is Of paramount Importance
when it is remembered that the cocaine
or morphine habit has been frequently
contracted as the result OF using secret
catarrh remedies.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets meet with
cordial approval from physicians be-
cause their antiseptic character render
them perfectly safe for the general pub
lie to use and their composition makes
them common sense cure for all forms
of catarrhal troubles.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full-size packages.
