years advertising with the Courier
under the nge-every-insertion plan.

believe in letting the people know
when they have good thing. They

painless methods Of dentistry and be-
lieye it is to their interest to make
that fact public. These gentlemen
came here year ago and at once pat

is safe to say that no firm, either mer-
camille or professional ever came to
Ottumwa and Immediately stepped in
to public favor and confidence to any
greater degree than the New Syqstem

many patrons outside of Ottumwa who

From Fridays Daily.
DR.. d. G. Brockman has returned
from Selma, where he went yesterday
to assist in conducting an autopsy ov-
er the remains of Capt. Abram Hinkle,
whose death occurred suddenly yes
terday morning. DR.. Sawyer, Of Cen
terville, who was in attendance upon
the late Mr. .Hinkle at the time of his
death, took part in the examination.
1t was found that death was caused
by the hardening of the arteries and
valves of the heart, this resulting in
paralysis of that organ. The attack
was brought on by over work the day
before the death occurred, followed by
a very hearty supper. The affection
has, the physicians say, been present
for some time, but was not serious UNI
til affected as above stated. DR..
Brockman stated today that the large
artery Just above the heart was dilat-
ed to the size of a garden hose.
