VS.. EddyviIle.
Special to Times Republican.
Ottumwa. Nov. 29.-The jury in the
case of F. E. Vance VS.. the Town of Ed
dyville, after retiring Thursday evening
at the close of the evidence in the case,
returned at 9 o'clock yesterday morning
and rendered a verdict awarding the
plaintiff in the case damages to the
amount of $1,000 The amount asked
for in the petition was $4,000, but the
cost of the case to the town of Eddy
vile will amount to almost that, includ-
ing the damages proper, the attorneys
fees, and the court costs of the case.
The case has been taking the attention
of Judge Eichelberger in the Wapello
county district court since Monday,
Nov. II, and many witnesses have been
examined on both sides. The petition
was originally filed on account of in
juries sustained by DR.. f.. q. Vance,
the plaintiff, by reason of falling near a
building in course of construction. The
plaintiffs claim was that the sidewalk
was not in proper condition and that
the right care had not been used by the
builders and the town to prevent acct
dents.

BILE, respectable citizens of the state OIL
Wyoming.
Il see by the newspapers hundreds
and hundreds of claims have been
fraudulently filed on in Nebraska by
wealthy cattle companies, under an
agreement made with the women or
their agents to sell their interest in
such homestead and did sell and re-
ceiye SIS in cash on such sale, so says
the Inter Ocean of Nov. "a. This was in
violation of the law and the oath they
had subscribed to.
In my opinion each one of those
women will secure a deed to their home
steaa land as the law provides they may
If they keep good faith with the gov
eminent. Another matter in relation to
the filings made by the women is, that
not one filing has been made on lands
that were fenced up or that was used
and held by cattle companies or by any
other person. All the land filed on by
these women was selected, surveyed
and filed on by myself. or by some re-
sponsible man who / suggested as the
agent for that purpose; while the gil
gantic frauds which the papers men,
ton has been perpetrated where large
cattle owners had immense tracts of
land fenced up and when ordered by
the governments agent to remove the
fences, that such lands might be en-
tered as homestead under the law, by
honest homestead parties they have
used this method, and In some instan-
ces being aided by the governments
agent to secure such filings in order to
defeat the object of the homestead law
and to maintain their fences on govern
ment lands. No, those women who
have made their filings in honesty and
in good faith should not have their
names coupled with the vast army of
fraudulent entries in Nebraska.

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Not Necessary in Order to Cure
Cafarrh


The popular idea that the only cure
for chronic catarrh is change OF Gil
mate is mistake, because catarrh is
found in all climates in all sections OF
the country; and even if q change OF
climate should benefit for time, the
catarrh will certainly return.
Catarrh may be readily cured in any
climate, but the only way to do 1T Is to
destroy or remove from the system the
catarrhal germs which cause all the
mischief.
The treatment by inhalers, sprays
powders and washes has been proven
almost useless in making permanent
cure, as they do not reach the seat OF
disease, which is in the blood and can
be reached only by an internal remedy,
which acts thru the stomach upon the
blood and system generally.
A new discovery which is meeting
with remarkable success in curing ca
tarrh of the head, throat and bronchial
tubes and also catarrh of the stomach,
is sold by druggists under the name OF
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets, which are pleasant and
harmless to take, owe their efficiency TO
the active medicinal principles of blood
root, red gum and new specific called
Guaiacol, which together with valuable
sntiseptics are combined in convenient,
ralatable tablet form, and are as valua-
BILE for children as for adults.
Mr.. A. r. Fernbank. Of Columbus, O.,
says: Il suffered so many winters from
catarrh that I took 1t as matter of
course, and that nothing would cure it
- ~. "a xrf,s oh n
business affairs would not permit me to
take. ssss.
.My nostrils were almost always
clogged up; had to breathe thru the
mouth, causing an infiamed, irritated
throat. The thought of eating break
fast often nauseated me and the ca
tarrh gradually getting into my stom-
ach took away my appetite and diges-
ton.
my druggist advised me to try 90
cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
because he said he had so many GUS
toners who had been cured of catarrh
by the use of these tablets that he felt
he could honestly recommend them.
took his advice and used several boxes
with results that surprised and de-
lighted me-
II always keep a box of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets in the house and the
whole family use them freely on the
first appearance of cough or cold in
the head
with our children we think there is
nothing so safe and reliable as Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets to ward off Group and
colds, and with older people have
known of cases where the hearing had
been seriously impaired by chronic ca
tarrh cured entirely by this new rem
edy.''

Frank Elsinore Jones, said to be the best

three or four times. and last night he was
resplendent again in the latest after-din-
ner outfit. 1t is said of Jones that a pair
OF trousers baggy at the knee would give
him nervous prostration.
With all this reputation for stylish dress
ing Jones is a very modest man with a
good business head on his shoulders. He
got his reputation for being the best
dressed" commercial man a few years ago
in Kansas City. He walked into a hotel
one day and registered his name. About
that time highly colored waistcoats were
coming into style. Jones wore a red one
and other garments TO match IL in proper
style. AS he turned away from the desk
a young fellow standing by remarked to
the clerk: Look at that fellow; he make
j. Waldsre Kirk look like 50 cents"
From that time on Jones became the
best dressed" man. 1t is told of him that
a few years ago he was travelling on the
Ohio river between Cincinnati and Louis
Vile and the boat took fire. 1t was de-
cided 10 make a raft Of Jones's trunks and
