them in cold cash all but $1,000 of the
purchase price. The $1,000 he desired

and rarely misses day from his office.
Mr.. Ross is a Mason and member of
the First Presbyterian church. He was
q sufferer from dyspepsia until he heard
of Kodoi Dyspepsia Cure. The follow

has done 30 much for him:
For several years, i, Thomas L. Ross,
also my wife. Lydia L. Ross. both of
Topeka, Kas., suffered with that terrible
malady known as dyspepsia or indiges-
ton.
I'VE commenced to use kodol Dyspep-
sia Cure on the recommendation of our
druggist. After taking one dose, and in
side of short time, all of those terrible
pains and dyspepsia torments had
PASSED away. My appetite, also my
wife's, came back and our food could be
enjoyed as when we were 81. / am now

PRIMARY N PROGRESS
Large Vote Being Polled by the
Republicans OF the City
Today.
------
Candidates and Their Workers
Unusually Active But Every
thing Orderly.
Returns to Be Received in the
East Court Room..Some
Challenging.

The voting is active at the republican
primary today, especially in Marshall-
town, and the workers for the numer-
Gus candidates are more active than
the voters. The indications this after
noon were that almost full party vote
would be polled in both city and coun-
ty. but the results, especially in regard
to the recordership, are entirely prob
lematical.
The polls were open an hour this
morning, between and o'clock. for
the purpose of giving travelling men
who desired to leave the city on an
early train AN opportunity to vote. 9th
ers than travelling men cast their ball
lots during this hour and nearly 400
votes were polled in the morning. The
polls reopened again at IL o'clock and
large crowds thronged the voting places
from that hour on.
The workers were unusually numer
Gus. and the candidates had every liv-
cry cab in service, as we'll as wagon
workers at the polls We're some demo
Gratis, but during the early part of the
afternoon few democrats had attempt
ed to vote. Challengers We're on duty
at some of the voting places and few
democrats We're challenged during the
day. The county committee had pla-
cards. with the section of the state law
regarding party primaries printed
thereon, posted in conspicuous places
and these had the effect of restraining
some members of other parties who
usually attempt to vote at the republi-
can primary.
Chairman Meeker, of the republican
committee, has arranged for the receiv-
ing of the returns from the county to-
night, and has engaged the east court
room as headquarters.

TO KILL OFF WORTHLESS FISH
Indiana's Commissioner Plans a War OF
determination.

determination.
Wabash, Ind, March 10.-F'ish Com
missioner Sweeney of this state will
this month commence a war of exter-
mination on the worthless fish in the
many lakes in this part of the state.
Acting on the advice of the attorney
general, Mr.. Sweeney is having made a
seine a thousand feet in length, and
with large force of men, will syste-
matically seine the northern Indiana
lakes. All the dogish, gar. carp. and
turtles brought out will be destroyed,
while the bass, pickerel, pike, perch.
and other food fish will be restored to
the water. The worthless fish in the
lakes not only destroy the other fish,
but consume the food, SO that the game
fish lack subsistence. Within the last
twenty years great pains have been
taken to stock the lakes and rivers with
German carp, which have become a
nuisance.

|CHURCHAND NICHOLSON
Two New Members Elected to
School Board to Succeed
Devine and Atkinson.
Fosmer Reform Directors De.
feated by New Men and
a Big Vote.
Nearly 1000 Votes Cast at the
EIeetion--Karry Gerhart the
Treasurer.

| The ungratefulness of politics has
been fully experienced by Messrs. De-
vine and Atkinson When they were de-
feated in Yesterdays school election
by an overwhelming vote for n. A
Church and f. l.. Nicholson. Six years
ago Mr.. Atkinson was elected to the
board, with others who have since
retired, as a retrenchment and reform
member. The result was that the
board retrenched to an extreme. -Four
years ago DR.. W. s. Devne was elected
on a platform of free text books ano
he was instrumental in having the fres
book system adopted in Marshalltown
During the past two years the board
mas been confronted with the neces-
sity of increasing the tax levy to make
up the deficiencies existing because OF
the excessive retrenchment of six years
ago when the tax levy was so ma
Eterially reduced that it would not
raise sufficient revenue TO pay the run
ming expenses OF the district. With
another school house to build the COM
ing year and increasing population
making another necessary in the neal
future, the voters feared another in
crease in the levy and therefore We're
ungrateful enough to turn down the
two directors who We're previously in
strumental in inaugurating reforms
Outside of this desire of a few to
keep down the tax levy there was no
issue in the election. The result can
not be read as a rebnke to the old
members, for their records have given
satisfaction generally to everyone. 1t
is the conservative opinion of business
men that no two members ever served
on the school board more efficiently
But Mr. Church, who is most excel
lent man. desired a place on the board
and he went after it. Being man
of demonstrated business Judgment
and of long residence here he had a
very large following of personal
friends. He was active in getting
them out to the polls. Combining his
fortunes with Mr.. Nicholson, a labor
ing man in the Central car shops who
likewise had strong following of
friends, an unprecedented vote was
gotten out. DR.. Devine made little
effort in his own behalf and Atkinson
was absent in California looking after
an apricot ranch. 1t was a case of the
man who could get his friends out to
the polls, ard the new men won fairly
with no issue at stake other than a
possible desire on the part of a very
few to hold down the tax levy.
A total vote of l,1S5 votes We're cast
