The Merrick & schrieber Failure.

Special to Times Republican.
Reinbeck, Oct. 24.-The failure of
Merrick & Schrieber, the creamery
men is quite serious. The cause of the
failure is not known but it is believed
to have been due to the small profits
made by being compelled to sell at a
small margin of profit. The individual
losses of the members of the firm are
very heavy. Mr.. Schrieber was in this
city yesterday and stated that his loss
has been about $1,000. All the patrons
of the different creameries are loosers
of various sums estimated from so
cents to $50. Inaddition to this loss the
workmen in the various creameries are
out a considerable amount on back pay
for labor. 1t appears from this fail
ure and that Of many more creameries
that the money which is made in this
business all goes to the patrons.

Family Has Smallpox.

Davenport, Oct. 24.-Five new cases
OF smallpox, all in the same family
were reported to the Davenport health
department by DR.. b. II. Schmidt TINS
morning. The cases are those OF the
Washburn family, and the father,
mother and four children are now at
flicted with the disease. The father,
George Washburn was taken i'll the
third of October. The house was i'm
mediately quarantined and the mother
and children vaccinated but 1t was
too late to save them from the dis
ease aud they We're all stricken down
yesterday afternoon at about the same
time.
At the time Mr. Washburn was first
taken with the disease the children
were all attending school No. 1 in
Davenport but since that time they
have been confined so there is little
danger that they have spread the dis
ease. The city is now supplying the
family with groceries and the Other
necessities of life and everything pos
siDle is being done for their comfort.

Mason City, Oct. 24.-1f the story
which Cora Ward Of Plymouth tells is
true. Jacob Haberkorn, a nineteen year
old farm hand, stands good chance
to do service at Anamosa. Last Thurs

yesterday and in discussing the First

Gratis are in good shape in the First

for the election OF John e. Craig over
Congressman Hedge. Craig is an able
man and he is making a good CAM
paign. There are many republicans in
the district who will not support
Hedge. The union labor vote will be
solid for Craig. Many of the old SOL

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts On the Same subje

Also Few Facts On the Same Subject.
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living, about vege-
tarianism and many other fadS along
the same line.
Restaurants may be found In the
large cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank is IN
his glory, and arguments and theories
galore advanced to prove that meat was
never intended for human stomachs,
and almost make us believe that our
sturdy ancestors who lived four score
years in robust health on roast beer,
pork and mutton must have been gross
ly ignorant of the laws OF health.
Our forefathers had other things TO
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
ere excellent guides to follow in mat
tiers of diet, and mived diet of grains,
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
best.
AS compared with grains and vegeta-
bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment
IN highly concentrated form and is
digested and assinilated more quickly
than vegetables and grams.
DR.. julius Remmson on this subJec,
says: NERVOUS persons, people run
down in health and OF low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of it. If the
digestion Is too feeble at first it may be
easily corrected by the regular use of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal. Two of these excellent tablets
taken after dinner will digest several
thousand grains of meat, eggs or other
animal food in three hours. and no mat
ter how weak the stomach may be, no
trouble will be experienced II a regular
practice is made of using Stuart's Dys-
repsia Tablets because they supply the
pepsin and diastase necessary to per-
feet digestion, and every form OF indi-
gestion will be overcome by their use.
THAT large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
! should eat plenty Of meat and insure its
proper digestion by the daily use OF a
safe, harmless digestice medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of
the natural digestive principles. pepsin,
iiiastase, fruit acids and salts, which
actually perform the work OF digestion.
Cheap cathartic medicines. masquerade
ing under the name of dyspepsia cures,
are useless for indigestion. as they have
absolutely no effect upon the actual di-
gestion Of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply failure Of the stomach to digest
food and the sensible way to solve the
riddle and cure the,dyspersia is to make
6aily use at meal time of a preparation
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which
Is endorsed by the medical profession
and known to contain active digestive
principles"
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at SO cents for full treatment.

That His Money viii Help Wade.

Des Moines. Oct 24.-Apprehension
exists in republican circles that Ben
Gable OF Rock Island is preparing to
open his barrel in the interest of the
election of Judge Wade, the democrat
ic candidate in the Second district. 1t
is said Mr.. Cable will not simply open
a bunghole in a perfunctory way, but
that he will knock the head off and
break few hoops if necessary. Infor-
nation has been brought to Des Moines
by a member OF the congressional dele
cation that Mr. Gable will spend $4,000
in the district in the interest of Judge
Wade If 1t is found needful. Inquiry
was made at republican state head
quarters yesterday concerning the ru-
mored intervention of Mr.. Cable In
Second district affairs. 1t was admit
ted reports haG been received that the
Rock Island capitalist was willing to
expend large sums to insure the cleo
ton of Judge Wade.
All that can be accomplished by an
extremely vigorous speaking campaign
from now on to election in the Second
district will be done by the republican
state campaign management. a num-
Der OF ldfSe iIseiHSs VIII Nc iiciu 'itid
will be addressed by prominent speak
ers. At Iowa City large rally will be
held Oct. 80. Secretary Shaw was dat
ed some days ego for meeting at Iowa
City on that date, and Lafayette Young
will also speak. A large tent has been
secured there in which to hold the
meeting. Secretary Shaw's principal
address will be in the evening, and Mr..
Young's in the afternoon.
John NJ. Kemble of Muscatine who
was in the city yesterday, says the out
look in the Second district is satisfac-
tory for the election Of Mr.. Hoffman.
He predicts AIuscatine will give Koif-
man 1000 majority.
