Special to Times Republican.


Arnes, Dec. pa meeting of the en-
gineering students of the Iowa State

Iowa Brick and Tile Makers Associa-
ton which meet here the 21st of jan

enthusiastic one and the students kept
calling for the different professors and
didn't rest content until every one or
the professors present had taken his
seat upon the platform. Acting Pres-
ident Stanton opened the meeting ana
said that a prominent educator NAG
told him that whenever a student
wanted to take an engineering course
he always recommended AlneS. a
large measure of our success as an en-
cheering school he said had been due
to the capable men at the heads OF
these departments. Professors Blsseil,
Marston and Spinney spoke briefly OF
the difficulties overcome in securing
Engineering Hall, now often spoken OF
as the best engineering building in the
country, of the work done in the past
few years, and the work that can be
expected to be done in the next few
years, of the relation of the practical
man to the engineering student, and
the necessity of each understanding the
others position, of the increased rec
ignition that, must come to this school
if more of our prominent men knew OF
the school and the quality of the work
it is doing and of the responsibility
that each one should feel of helping
the visitors to make their short stay
a profitable one. Prof. Young as chair
man of the entertainment committee,
closed the meeting by asking everyone
to do his part in the entertainment OF

COULTER MAY LIVE.
One Of stIIIweII,s Victims May Yet Re.

One of Stillwell's Victims May Vet Re-
cover.
Pennington, Dec. 22.-It is now be-
1ieyed that Marshal Robt. Coulter, one
OF the men shot by George StiiIweli,
Friday afternoon. will live, altho his
condition is still critical There is no
hope, 1t is stated, for Justice of the
Peace e. A. Musgrave, Stillwell's other
victim, who is very weak. From the
testimony given at the coroner's inquest
ever the remains of Stillwell 1t is be-
iieved that the bullet which killed Still
we'll was fired by Marshal Coulter in
the first shooting ARRAY on Main street.
Coulter says during the shooting Still
well stepped on the sidewalk and
and fell toward him as he fired his last
shot. The fatal bullet struck Stlilwell
in the right side of the neck, high up
and ranged downward coming out be-
low the left shoulder blade. Coulters
testimony indicates that his bullet
made this wound IF this is so Still
well lived about two hours and a half
before he died, about the time the posse
found him in the timber. Another the
CRY advanced Is that Stillwell either ac-
cidenhally or purposely fired the fatal
shot himself. as he saw the posse clos
ing in on him. One of the strangest
perdicts in the history of this county
was the result of the coroner's inquest,
viz: Death by his own hand or by
parties unknown while in the act of re-
sisting an officer" The funeral of the
dead man will take place tomorrow.

FeIdman's Store, Only Two Persons,

Store at the Time.
Special to Times-Republican.

George, Dec. 22.-During a quarrel
lover money matters late Saturday
afternoon Helmer DeBoer, a farmer liv-
ing eight miles north of here, was shot
I by August Bunge, another farmer, at

can not recover. AT the time the shoot
ing took place there were only two
ether persons in the Feldman store.
These We're the proprietor, Mr.. Field
man, and julius Paulsine.
Mr.. Feldman's account of the shoot
ing is substantially as follows:
Bunge came into the store and called
for pair of oyershoes. A few minutes
later De Boer came in and Mr.. Feldman
went to the back part of the store to
charge the shoes to Dick CIaason-the
man for whom they had been ordered
He says that while he was doing this he
heard nothing of the conversation and
did not know there was any trouble
brewing, when suddenly he heard pis-
toll shot. On turning around he saw
that Bunge had pistol in his hand,
but it was several minutes before he
realized what had happened. In the
meantime Bunge went out of the store.
Mr.. Feldman then told julius Paulsine
to go for a doctor. Drs. Mckinney &
Bauslaligh and DR.. Bradshaw were soon
on hand. The wounded man was then
removed to the office of Mckinney &
Bauslaugh. DIR. Gotham, of Rock Rap
ids, was summoned by wire and ar
rived at 4:15.
The examination showed that the ball
had struck one inch from the medium
line, and one-haif of IN inch above the
level of the nipples, the ball taking
course slightly to the right,th missing
the heart and vital points.
After Bunge left the store he walked
down the street. He soon met Walter
Parke and told him what he had done.
Thereupon Marshal Report came up
and arrested Bunge and took him to
Jail. In the meantime Bunge had handed
the marshal a 3S-calibre revolver which
had one empty chamber.

Cheerful Yellow.

Few people in furnishing winter
house seem to recognize the value of
yellow as an element of cheer in a
room, particularly if the latter is in
clined to be dark. The sunshiny effect
of yellow danask, for instance, is strik-
ing, especially If the outer world is
stormy and cherries. Going recently
into little yellow drawing room on
rainy day, this fact struck the writer
most forcibly. The contrast between
the murky. cold and already darkening
winter afternoon and the cheerful
CLEAN of the freight on the satin fig
ures in the weave of the damask cur
tains and chairs and sofas, seeming al
most like glancing sunbeams. had pro-
duced an instantaneous effect on the
minds and spirits Of people present. The
woodwork in this pretty room was all
white; the walls, wainscoted in square
paneling for about five feet from the
floor, were above that covered with the
yellow damask. On this pretty back
ground a number of water colors
showed to excellent advantage.

NOBODY is EXEMPT.
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 it 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 a
clogged condition, they need only a lit
tie help and they will right themselves.
Cathartics irritate the sensitive Innings
OF the stomach and bowels and often do
more harm than good.
Pursuing is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in condi-
ton to be readily digested and assimi-
lated. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do
this perfectly. They partly digest what
is eaten and give the stomach just the
help 1t needs. Thsy stimulate the Sc
erection and excretion of the digestive
fluids and relieve the congested condi-
tion 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 a
common sense treatment and it will
cure every time. Goes about it in a per-
fectly sensible and scientific way.
We have testimonials enough to fill a
book but we don publish many of them.
However, Mrs. e. NJ. Faith of Byrds
Greek, Wis, says:
81 have taken all the tablets ] got of
you and they have done their work well,
IN my case. for I feel like a different
person altogether. I don't doubt if Il
had not got them should have been at
rest by this time.
H e. Willard, Onslow. Iowa, says:
"Mr. White of Canton. was telling me
of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him
OF dyspepsia from which he suffered for
eight years. As am a sufferer myself
/ wish you to send me a package by re-
turn mall
Phil Brooks, of Detroit, Mich, says:
'Your dyspepsia cure has worked won
ders In my case. I suffered for years
from dyspepsia, but am now entirely
cured and enjoy life as I never have
before. gladly recommend them"
1t will cose so cents to find out just
how much Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
will help you. Try them--thats the
best way to decide.
