them. She says: Il suffered daily from
severe frontal headache and pain in

the headaches were always worse

of catarrh.
"St;uart's Catarrh Tablets were
highly recommended to me as a safe
and pleasant catarrh cure, and after
using few 50-cent boxes which pro-
cured from my druggists l was sur
prised and delighted to find that both
the catarrh and headaches had gone for
good"

A Cause Of Headache
Ono Very Common Cause, Generally
Over Looked.

Headache Is q symptom, an fndica-
ton of arrangement or disease IN some
organ, and the cause of the headache
Is difficult to locate because SO many
diseases have headache as a prominent
symptom; arrangement of the stomach
and liver, heart trouble kidney disease,
lung trouble, eye strain or ill-htting
klasses, all produce headaches, and II
we could always locate the organ which
ls at fault the cure of obstinate head
aches would be much simpler matter
However, for that form of headache
ealled frontal headache. pain back of
khe eyes and in the forehead. the cause
ls now known to be catarrh of the head
and throat; when the headache is To-
rated in the back of the head and neck
It Is often caused from catarrh of the
stomach or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most COM
mon cause of such headaches and the
eure of the catarrh causes prompt
disappearance Of the headaches.
There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Etuart's Catarrh Tablets, new inter-
nal remedy in tablet form. composed of
anti-septics like eucalyptol, guaiacol
and blood root which act upon the

catarrhal poison from the system thru

in Iowa and consequently the same
could not now be taxed.
In his ruling Judge Thornell held that
the estate was not liable for the col
lateral Inheritance tax on such portions
of the real property as had been sold
under contract prior to Huber's death.
This relieved property of the value of
$4,000 in Warren county and $1,000 in
Cass county from payment of the tax.
He held that all property which had not
been sold under contract at time of HUI
ber's death, despite the provision in the
will calling for its conversion into cash
by the executor, was liable to payment
of the tax and property valued at $4,000
in Cass county and lots in Council
Bluffs valued at $500 will be suject to
the tax.
Huber's entire property in Warren,
Cass and Pottawattamie counties, this
state amounted to $4,000. The ruling
of Judge Thornell relieves the estate
from the payment of about $500 collat-
eral inheritance tax.

fields Decision.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Feb. 27.-United States
Revenue Collector j. w. Patterson, of
Dubuque, arrived in Sioux City yester-
day. One of the objects of his visit is
to adjust the difficulty over the refusal
of County Clerk William Commit to re-
ouire 5O-cent revenue stamps on adj
ministrators' bonds. He went first to
his office in the federal building. and
then called upon Mr.. Commit in order
to ascertain fully the situation.
Mr. Commit had not been requiring
revenue stamps for administrators
bonds, depending upon decision OF
Judge Wakefield at Cherokee that they
could not be imposed upon the bonds.
When the revenue department insisted
upon his demanding stamps. Mr.. Con-
riff complied, but was served with a
writ of mandamus issued by Judge
Hutchinson, compelling him to approve
the bond without the stamps.
What will be your disposition of the
case?' Mr. Patterson was asked.
Il think l will look into the situation
and then report to the department that
Mr.. Commit has refused to demand rev.
enue stamps" he said; that the dis
trict court has taken action compelling
him to approve the bonds without the
stamps, and asking for further instruc-
tons.
THE law. which has been interpreted
by Commissioner Yerkes as requiring
stamps on administrators bonds.
plainly provides that any officer who
records bond without the stamp is
liable to a fine of $50 for each offense.
OF course the courts can compel an
officer to approve the bonds without
the stamps. as was done here, but 1t
does not absolve the officer from liabil-
ity to the federal government. 1t has
been determined that the ruling of the
commissioner of the internal revenue
department can only be reviewed by
the supreme court, or by some higher
power. He is the sole arbiter of that
department. His edicts must be
obeyed."
What position have other counties
taken?"
The majority of them have paid UP
in full" Mr.. Paterson answered.
Cherokee county, under Judge Wake
fields decision, is holding out. The
proper course would be, under ordinary
to pay the tax and then
bring it before the courts.

matter was finally settled when 50 per
cent of the voters of this city signed a
petition to legalize saloons, but 1t now
appears that the liquor men failed to
file their appeal bond in the ten days
required by law, and the opposition has

rendered against the saloons at the

that the case will come up early at the
