SOLDIER SEEKING A BRIDE
Fascinated by Her When He Passed
Through EnrOute to the Philippines.
DOES NOT EVEN KNowT THE woMAN's NAME
Takes n Position on the Motor Line
In Hopes Of Being Able TO
Locate Her and Press
His suit.

Four years ago Lieutenant Charles A.
Barron, then a private in Battery o, Third
Ohio artillery, passed through Council
Bluffs on his way to the Philippines. There
was a large crowd at the Union Transfer
depot to greet the soldiers and among the
number was a young woman, accompanied
by a little band OF school children. For
four long years the image Of this young
woman has ever been with the young SOL
der. Although he does not know her
name and did not even speak to her on
that day at the transfer depot, he has
come to Council BLUFFS with the hope Of
meeting her and winning her for his
bride.
From a private in Battery o young Bar
ron was soon promoted to corporal and
later to sergeant In Battery H. Again pro-
motion came his way and when he left the
service, in September, 1901, he was first
lieutenant In Battery X. His home is in
Cleveland, o., but in order to assist in his
quest for the young woman, whose image
hAunts him night and day, he has obtained
a position as conductor with the motor
company and made his first run yesterday.
Lieutenant Barron talks freely Of his
quest here. When seen yesterday on a
Broadway motor he said. "Our regiment
was one OF the irst to pass through Coun-
ell Bluffs bound for the Philippines at the
outbreak of the war and we we're given an
ovation here, as at every other town we
passed through. There was a large crowd
at the transfer depot. l happened to be
attracted by a young woman, or, more COR
rectly speaking, a young girl, who seemed
to me to be the leader of a party OF chill
dren, who marched up and down the plat
form as II they had been drilled. I did not
speak To the young woman but from that
day to his l have been unable to efface
her image from my memory. In the field,
in my tent or in barracks I saw that face
every minute Of the day. l dreamed about
1t at night until l became In love with
her. / do not even as much as know her
name, but / determined when my term of
service was ended to come to Council Bluffs
and seek her out and, II possible. win her
for my wife. 1t may be that she Is no
longer a resident Of this city and that my
quest here will prove futile, but II she
still lives in this city l expect to meet her
before long"

COPYRIGHT GIVES UP FIGHT
EARLY Convention Puts Him out OF the
Race In Opposition to
Henderson.

WATERLOO, Ia, April s~.-(special Tele-
ran .)-Senator COPYRIGHT today an
nounced his withdrawal as a candidate for
tho republican nomination for congress In
the Third district against Speaker Hen
derson. In a letter he gives as his reason
the early convention. which was called for
May 1 by the committee, which was con
trolled by Henderson. This is eight weeks
earlier than any heretofore. As he is
serving in the Iowa senate, this would give
him only two weeks to wage his cam
paign. He states that the convention was
purposely called early to shut out his can
dldaey. He would not hazard the hopes OF
his friends by waging a contest under such
circumstances, and that his future course
will be determined by the course OF events.
This was the first opposition Henderson
has had for twenty years. Courtright's
friends declare they Will not be governed
by any act Of the convention.

What Does the Grim Spectre Fol
low You Into the Jsy-
GUS Sprlngtime?
PAINE'S CELERY
Defeats the Work of Death by Re.
moving Your Terrible Bur.
den of Disease.

Are you still in suffering, misery and de.
spondency? Does the grim spectre, Death,
follow you closely rs the Joyous springtime
brings happiness and blessings to others
around you? Are you still clinglng tena-
ciously to false theories OF physicians or
friends, who persist in assuring you that
time, care and the use OF your present
medicine will give you new health?
Be assured your present condition is a
p%erilous one. The continuance Of the
medicine you are now using is a folly; you
are simply trihing with life and wasting
precious time.
You should remember that while nature
clothes the fields with fresh grass and flow
ers, and while the trees, with a strong life,
are showing bursting buds and new foliage,
that human beings-old and young-drop
of in thousands in springtime.
Now is the time for prompt. decided and
practical action IL life is to be saved.
Prejudice and the erroneous theories OF
even medical men should be cast aside
when the hand Of death is upon you. II
matters not what your social position be;
the medicine that saves the humblest man
or woman is surely the one adapted for the
needs OF the rich and those In high social
positions.
Paine's Celery Compound has a record OF
life saving that no other medicine can ever
equal. II has rescued rich and poor from
the grasp Of death when physicians and
their most carefully prepared prescriptions
failed in the work. II the suffering men
and women of today could but see the
happy faces and hear the kind words spoken
by the tens of thousands who have been
made well and strong by Paine's Celery
Compound. 1t would soon dispel their exist
ing doubts and fears.
Paines Celery Compound is the only
medicine that reaches the root of disease:
1t is the only agency that can remove your
terrible load of disease. Unsolicited testi-
monials of cures pour in every day. Young
and old constantly bear witness that rheu-
matism, neuralgia, kidney disease, liver
complaint, dyspepsia and blood diseases
are banished permanently when Paine's
Celery Compound is faithfully used for a
time. Begin it's use today. poor sufferer;
delays are dangerous.

Inquest Throws No LiRht on Hammer
IN which j.. b. Heft Was
Killed.

The inquest over ]. B. Heft, the veteran
of the civil war found dead Monday morn
ing at the foot of the Union Pacific grade
near Thirty-sixth street, failed to throw
any light on how he came by his death.
The jury, composed Of Divide Wen, H. Pc
terson and B. ]. Weber, returned a verdict
to the effect that Heft was killed by a
blow or fall on the head from an unde-
termined cause.
A. L. Henshaw, residing in the vicinity
where Heft's body was discovered, testified
that he first noticed the body a few min
utes before z o'clock in the morning and
that It lay about eight feet south Of the
trestle bridge over the roadway running
under the railroad tracks at Thirty-slxth
street. F. s. Wood gave similar testi-
mony.
The testimony Of other witnesses was to
the effect that Sunday night there was a
meeting in the Grand Army of the Republic
hall. Of which Heft was ~janitor, and that
he left his home about 9 o'clock in the
evening, saying he would go to the hall
to open and light 1t and then return. He
was seen about the hall later In the even
ing and told a friend that he would prob
ably have to remain there until $3.50 o'clock
or even later. He was seen on Pearl street
near the hall at 10 o'clock that night and
about midnight was seen at Tenth street
and Broadway, when he appeared to be
somewhat under the influence of liquor.
Members of his family state that he had
abstained from intoxicating liquor for over
a year.
DR.. Waterman testified that the post
norton examination showed that death
had been due to a fracture OF the skull al
the base of the brain and that the chest
was crushed in. The injuries, he said,
might have been caused by a fall,
