guests being invited, sixty five from

General John w. Noble, of 81. Louis,
and General Cyrus Bussey, of New
York, Mr.. Thompson's comrades in the
civil war. Mrs. Thompson is a lady of
Iare taste and tact at entertaining and
the sumptuous dinner she prepared for

tail and reached point of elegance

The Old Trouble Over Tax Fer
ret Matters Bobs Up in
Hardin County
SUPERVISORS TAKE ACTION
They Decide to Make Strenuous At
tempt to Collect the Judgment for
$6,75s Obtained at the August. 1901
Term of court-History of the Case
Other News.

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Dec. st seems that the tax
ferret matter in Hardin county is to
have q new lease of life. The board
of supervisors yesterday passed a res
olution relative to the collecting of the
judgment for S6,75S.O4 in favor of Har-
din county obtained at the August 1901,
term of the Hardin district court and
from which the defendants have taken
an appeal to the supreme court, as fol-
lows, to-wit:
neys, of Waterloo, Iowa, be, and they
are hereby retained and employed to as
sist the county attorney in the trial and
disposition of saio- appeal to it's con-
clsion, and in consideration thereof
the> county of Hardin will pay said
Boies & Boies the sum of per cent of
the amount recovered for Hardin coun-
| ty."
The case is peculiar and unusual, in
that certain citizens of the county
brought the action against the tax fer
fets and their attorney, and against the
board of supervisors and county audit
or and treasurer and recovered judg-
ment for the above amount and costs,
and including costs against the ind1-
vidual members of the board. The case
has been appealed to the supreme court
and the citizens who brought the suit
have failed and neglected to take any
measures towards prosecuting the case
further and now, after long solicitation
on the part of certain citizens, the
board has been induced to adopt the
above resolution. Some difference of
opinion will probably prevail turnout
the county as to the wisdom or unwis-
| dom of the board in taking such action.
but certain it is that there are many
who believe that the above judgment is
an asset of the county which should be
guarded and looked after by the best
| legal talent obtainable, to the end that
| the same may not be lost thru default
or neglect, but preserved and paid into
| the county treasury.

is A SERIOUS MATTER.
The Most Serious and Fatal Diseases
Arise from Indigestion.

Chronic Indigestion or dyspepsia,
while very common trouble, has Tor
some time been looked upon by able
physicians as q serious thing, and that
no time should be lost IN treating II
properly at the start, because recent
researches have shown that the most
serious, fatal and incurable diseases
have their origin in simple dyspepsia
or indigestion.
Diabetes is simply one form of indl-
gestion, the sugar and starchy food not
being assimilated by the digestive or
gans. In Brights disease the albumen
is not properly assimilated.
While consumption and dyspepsia are
twin diseases, sit is beyond question
that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil for
the seeds of consumption. But the trou-
BILE has been to find a remedy that
could be depended upon to cure dys-
pepsia, as it is VIGOROUSLY obstinate
and difficult to cure.
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics
alike until the question was solved
three years ago by the appearance of a
new discovery in the medical world
known as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets,
which 1t was claimed was certain, re-
liable cure for every form of stomach
trouble.
Physicians. however, would not ac-
cept such statements without first Civ
ing the new remedy many tests and
carefully observing results.
For three years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested in every section OF
the country and with surprising and
satisfactory results.
S;tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
honestly claimed to be a specific, a
radical, lasting cure for indigestion in
the various forms of acid dyspepsia or
sour stomach. gas or wind on the stom-
ach, too much bile undue fullness or
pressure after eating and similar synp-
toms resulting from disordered indiges-
ton.
S,tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were not
placed before the public until this three
years trial left no doubt as to their
value and they have recently been
placed in the trade and can be found on
sale at all druggists at the nominal
price of so cents per package.
NO extravagant claims are made for
the remedy; it will not cure rheunfa-
tism, pneumonia, typhoid fever nor
anything but just what it is claimed to
cure, and that is every form Of stom-
ach trouble. No dieting is necessary;
good, wholesome food, and plenty Of It,

Dyspepsia Tablets will digest it. Drug
Gists claim for it that 1t Is a pleasure
