Against TSSPiSs
Mason City, Ia, March 12.-The con-
test at Charles City over the accept
ance or the rejection Of the statuary of
Venus and Mercury intensified rather
than pacified the feeling existing there
over this trouble.

meeting when a resolution was offered
asking the board to accept the statuary.
A hot debate followed and division of
the house was called. The tellers were
both alleged to be friends of the ants,
and after both sides of the house were
counted they brought in a report that
the resolution was defeated by vote
of 70.
A recount was ordered and amidst the
wordy debate which was at once in
dulged in motion prevailed to adjourn.
The town is badly torn up. and the
statuary will now be yelled for use for
one year hence.

Charles Pierce, Who Was Struck by
Lightning, Still Alive.
Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Falls, March 12.-The report
sent out yesterday stating that Charles
Pierce had been killed by stroke of
lightning was erroneous. The report
that reached here from New Hartford
stated that the young man was dead,
and his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Brinkley
Pierce, fastened to the scene of the ac-
cident to find that the young man had
partially recovered consciousness and
he now shows signs of recovery. He
was terribly burned, however, and UNI
less these injuries prove too serious he
may suffer no lasting injury. He is too
badly injured to permit of removal to
his home here.

Carmack on Philippines.

Washington, May Ex-senator
Carmack says of the Philippines
bill:
"The pending civil government
bill prepares the way for condi-
tion of alien landlordism, of alien
ownership of franchises and of con-
cessions that will introduce new
difficulties and complications in the
Philippines problem. When the
next phase of the question is pre-
scented we shall find it complicated
with vested interests and the pro-
test of those who, by the action of
the United States government, have
become the owners of vast landed
possessions as we'll as valuable fran
ch1ses, who will claim that the
government which invited them in
to the islands have no right to
abandon them to the FilIpinos. If
the bill should become a law, as II
now provides, practically the whole
archipelago will become the proper
ty of a syndicate of adventures,
and alien corporations, and the con-
d1tion will be infinitely worse than
than that which has resulted from
the landlordism policy in Ireland.
ITO pass this bill is to put shack
les on the Filipinos and also to
shackle the freedom of the Ameri-
can Congress. 1t is of the most vi
tai importance that this bill should
not be passed in its present shape
if Congress is to be left with au-
thority to deal with the question in
the future"

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent au-
thorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be. it's nutriment is de-
stroyed by Indigestion or dyspepsia.
You must prepare for their appearance
or prevent their coming by taking reg
ular doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the healthy
millions. A few doses aids digestion,
stimulates the liver to healthy action,
purifies the blood, and makes you feel
buoyant and vigorous. You can get
this reliable remedy at Nailling's Drug
Store.

Mr.. Bell stated to your CORE

principally due to scarcity and high

Must be rich in honey;

Honey from their reddening lips.

Love that doth aspire
But to queen it for day,
