Special to Times Republican.
Ackley, Dec. 27.-Unless the Iowa
Central railroad gets a lively move or
itself and adjusts it's differences with
it's employees, the situation at other
points than Marshalltown will become
serious.
A coal famine is threatened at Aclsley
The electric light company has ex-
hausted dts supply and the individual
dealers are pressed, residences and bus
mess houses that are warmed by "hot
air. from the Ackley heating plant will
be frozen up by the cold blasts that
will supply the vacuum.
The situation here is critical in the
extreme; the power and heating plant
consumes from six to eight tons of coal
Every twenty -four hours and unless a
truce is declared ait Marshalltown there
will be suffering here where perhaps
fifty residences and business houses are
heated by steam supplied from the
electric light station.
The Central is not receiving freight
for shipment at this point, nor is any
freight being unloaded. A dozen car
loads of coal are on the track and none
in authority authorized its unloading.
The situation demands immediate at
tention.

Serious Trouble Seems Brewing for
Proprietors of Defunct Bank.
Special to Times Republican.
Otto, Dec. 27.-In the district court
yesterday in petition filed against
Cutting and Willet, owners Of the Otto
bank, which recently closed its doors,
the charge is made that the bank re-
leased a chattel mortgage of record
without authority, without any con-
sideration and without actual payment
being made upon the Indebtedness of
$1,000 which the mortgage represented.
The suit is begun by the First Ma
tional bank of Lyons, which holds a
note for the amount stated against
J. III. Melott. Melott executed the note
to the Otto bank August 10, 1901, and
the bank afterwards rediscounted the
note to the Lyons bank. The plaintiff
asks the court to render a personal
judgment against Melott, to declare the
release of the mortgage as null and
void. and to foreclose the mortgage. A
number Of other banks which have set
up claims on which 1t was asserted the
same property was security, are in
cluded as defendants by the Lyons
bank.

yielded to the county treasurer So
6S6.96. The list turned over to the
treasurer amounts to about $4,000. The
first named amount has already been
turned in by only seven men. The larg-
est item, $2,296.15, was turned in by III.
l.. Warner of Sioux City. He paid UNI
der protest, claiming he should be al
lowed greater offsets.
The method employed by the ferrets
is to discover all unlisted personal
property during the past five years and
notify the owners by registered letter
of their findings. The property holders
are requested to visit the court house
and report their offsets or turn in any
facts which should exempt them from
paying any of the taxes on the lists.
After the owners have been consulted,
the amount remaining on the lists is
turned over to the county treasurer.
Each of the amounts has been agreed
upon between the ferrets and the prop
erty owners.
The tax ferrets will receive none of
the Is per cent commission until $780,
coo has been paid into the county treas
lIrer. Neither can the county treasurer
use the money turned over under the
contract until the commission has been
paid out of it. So the county will not
be able to use the funds until the $780,
coo has been paid in.

Neil Lieser Run Down and
Crushed by Loaded Farm
Wagon
WAS PLAYING in THE STREET
The Wagon Loaded Heavily With Coal
Ran Across the chiId's Body Crush
ing Him Against the Frozen Ground
Driver Unknown, But lives Near
Written.

Eldora, Dec. 27.-Neil, the S-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Lieser Of
this city, was run over by a wagon
loaded with coal yesterday afternoon
and almost instantly killed. The lit
tie fellow had been given new sled
for Christmas present and had caught
on the rear of heavily loaded farm
wagon. In some way the sled ran in
front of the hind wheel. The boy called
loudly for the driver to stop, but either
he did not or would not hear, and the
wheel passed across the middle of the
boy The man looked back after driv-
ing some distance, but did not stop to
pick him up or see if he was hurt.
Medical assistance was promptly Sc
cured but the little fellow died in
few moments. His father is a labor
ing man about town. The name of the
farmer who drove over the boy could
not be learned, but it said he lives near

Skipped From Iowa Falls Leaving The
atricaI Company Stranded.


atrical Company Stranded.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Dec. 27.-The Foxy Boy"
company went to pieces here yesterday,
five members of the company awaken
ing to find that the manager and the
balance of the company had flown dur
ing the night. The stranded contingent
realized that the ghost" had failed to
walk the night previous and that no
angel was on hand to help them out of
their difficulty. The five members thus
left so uncermoniously had considerable
back pay coming and were left among
strangers with no means of reaching
home or friends. The company played
here Christmas night. AT the close Of
the performance the manager posted a
notice that the company would meet
at the Woods hotel the next morning
and the company would be reorganized.
Instead it was disorganized and the two
managers with four other members of
the company flew the coop" Three
ladies whose homes are in Chicago, st.
Joe and Boston, and two men who
played the leading roles in the piece are
stranded here but hope to hear from
home today and start for home or some
large city where they can secure some
other engagement.

that the latter have never been able

HAVE you ANY OF THESE,
Symptoms of a Very Common
Trouble?

Symptoms of Very Common
:ss Trouble?
There is no disease SO common in the
United States as catarrh. because 1t APP
pears In SO many forms and attacks so
many different organs.
1t is q common mistake to suppose
that ,catarrh is confined to the nose and
throat. Any Inflammation of the mu-
cous membrane wherever located, &C
companied by abnormal secretions, is
ratarrh. Catarrh of the stomach or
bladder, or intestines. is nearly as COM
mon as nasal catarrh and much more
FERROUS, altho it is true that stomach
catarrh and catarrh of other internal
organs is the result of neglected nasal
catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared,
which so far as tested seems to be re-
markedly effective in promptly curing
catarrh, wherever located. The prepa-
ration is sold by druggists generally
under the name of Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and in addition to being very
palatable and convenient, possesses ex-
traordinary merit, in many cases giving
Immediate relief from the Coughing,
hawking and constant clearing of the
I1IQil anu HSdu, those SyHlpeoIHs with
which every one is familiar who has
ever suffered from colds in the head
and throat.
Catarrh is simply continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are COM
posed of blood root. red gum and similar
antiseptics and catarrh specifics. from
which it will be seen that no secret is
made of the ingredients and also that
ne mineral poisons are used, as is the
case with many well-known catarrh
medicines.
For catarrh Of the nose, throat or
Bronchial tubes, for catarrh of the
stomach, intestines or bladder no prep
aration is so safe and gives such rapid
and permanent results as Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
the full-sizei package. You can use
them with assurance that you will not
contract the cocaine or morphine habit
as the results from this catarrh are APP
parent from the first days use.

ing been delegate to national conven-
tions and the Iowa member of the ma
