SpeClal TO Times flepupilCdn.
Parkersburg. Dec. 24.-Another burg
larry took place hero last night, when
the Illinois Central depot was robbed,
the thieves securing about $4b in money
and few valuables. The robbery took
place while the night operator, who acts
as night express agent, was at the
Northwestern depot delivering pack
ages. There is no elew, but it IS be-
lieved to be the work of local talent. 1t
is also thought that the robbery of the
postoffice Tuesday morning was the
work of local thieves. Bloodhounds from
Waterloo have been trailing the thieves
and it is said couple of arrests are
contemplated and may be made this
afternoon. A part of the stolen stamps
have been recovered. The officers, how
ever, are not giving out much informa-
ton and the amount could not be
learned. There is considerable excite
ment, in view of last nights robbery,
and developments are anxiously
awaited by the people here.

New Evidence Saidto Have Been Found
in Hawerth Case,

in Hawerth Case.
Sioux City, Dec. 24.-Sentenced to
death because of a confession alleged to
have been wTung from him by improper
means when his mind was disordered
and because the court and jury which
tried him was composed entirely of
Mormons, Nathan Hawerth, an Iowa
boy, whose parents, Mr.. and Mrs. =. r.
Hawerth live at Fort Dodge. will spend
Christmas in 81 felon's cell In Salt Lake
City. Utah, and unless the efforts Of his
aged parents, who have impoverished
themselves in the struggle. aided by
their attorney should avail, Hawerth
will be shot January 16, the strange
form of execution having been selected
by himself. Nathan Hawerth was ar
rested three years ago charged with the
murder of Thomas Sandal, an aged
night watchman and a Mormon at Lay
ton, Utah. A large reward was offered
for the arrest and conviction of the
prisoner and the chain of events put
HaWerth in the hands of the officers of
the law and he was arrested and con-
yicted. Now it is claimed the defense
has new evidence which will show that
the confession given by Hawerth was
improperly obtained by Sheriff Abbott
and will bring forward the evidence of
three of his prison guards to show that
his mind is unbalanced. Their case
seems to be strong one.

Iowa City, Dec. 24.-The university
faculty has about completed It's IN

scrap. Several of the offenders nave
been summoned to appear before the

President MacLean when seen said;

"The number of students thus sum-

more than the faculties and the fond

sions or explosions have been MADE.
Further than this there is nothing to
say. The guilty will be punished
Several received notices to appear.
Their names are not given out officially,
but several who have received notices
have not kept the same secret, as the
notice does not infer that the re-

bank, affectionately known by mis-
classmates as "Skeeter;" G. L. Marick

are confident they can show they had
no part in the disturbance.
It is unofficially reported that the
list includes eight names, and a student
|interester learned from a member OF
the faculty that the punishment would
be suspension until June, 1903.
The sophomores and freshmen held
joint meeting at Close Hall at nooa
Tuesday which lasted over an hour.
About 125 students were present. After
an hours elaboration, 1t was finally

"A New Preparation Which Every One

Will Need Sooner or Later.
Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and the common
est thing they do for 1t is to take
some one of the many so-called blood
purifiers, which In many cases are
merely strong cathartics. Such things
are not needed. If the organs are In
clogged condition, they need only a ut
tie help and they will right themselves.
Cathartics irritate the sensitive Innings
of the stomach and bowels and often DO
more harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do Is to put the food in condl-
ton to be readily digested and asslml-
lated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets DO
this perfectly. They partly digest what
is eaten and give the stomach Just the
help it needs. They stimulate the Sc
cretion and excretion of the digestive
fluids and relieve the congested condl-
ton of the glands and membranes.
They put the whole digestive system in
condition to do its work. When that is
done you need take no more tablets,
unless you eat what does not agree with
you. Then take one or two tablets
give them needed help and you will
have no trouble.
It's common sense medicine and
conmon sense treatment and 1t will
cure every time. Goes about it in a per-
fectly sensible and scientific way.
We have testimonials enough to fill
book, but we don't publish many of them.
However, Mrs. e. M. Faith of Byrd's
Greek, Wis, says:
X have taken all the tablets got of
you and they have done their work well
In my case. for feel like different
person altogether. / don't doubt If
had not got them should have been at
rest by this time"

eight years. AS I am sufferer myself

Phil Brooks, of Detroit, Mich, says:

'The farmers In Woodbury. county

warm rain in melting the snow in the
fields" said Joe Ayers to Journal
reporter Sunday. "The water has been
absorbed and will make the soil very
much better With the present freeze
it will be possible for those farmers
who have corn still in the fields to
get out and gather 1t. I should say
that one-fourth of the corn crop is
still in the fields. Much of 1t was brok-
en- down when the snow came and was
therefore buried in the snow. The
snow is now gone from around it. Some
farmers have turned their stock into
the fields to let them eat up the corn
which was left down. There was very
little drifting of the snow. While the
fields are now practically clear Of
snow, there is still plenty of 1t on the
roads. 1t is packed from three to six
inches deep and is so mixed with Ice
that It is difficult for horses to travel"

Tax Ferret Assessment.

Waterloo, Dec. 24.-County Auditor
D. w. Foote is compiling the assess
ment of the tax ferret collections for
1902. The collections will total about
$4,000 and the majority of the delin-
ouents are those who contributed dur
ing the past summer for the five pre-
ceeding years. The assessment was
made before many paid their back
taxes and 1t appears that they gave IN
their property at about the same val
uation as a year ago. Notices have
been sent to many of them. The taxes
cannot be paid until after January l.
The tax ferret contract expires Janu-
airy and it is not probable that it will
be renewed at once.
