QUESTIONS BY A PREACHER.
Dubuque Citizens Asked For Their
Opinions on Religion, Economics and
,cial to Times-Republican.

POLITICS..
| Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, Nov. 24.-There will be a
series of Sunday evening discussions
at the First Congregational church, be-
ginning Nov. 30th. The pastor, Rev.
Frank G.. Smith, has sent out a circular
in which a number of questions on sub
iects affecting the church which he
requests the recipients of the circular
to answer. The answers will be CLASH
fled and will be made the basis OF the
discussions.
In nearly all the churches where
membership in the church is not OBJ
tanned by birth or inheritance, but by
deliberate choice after reaching mature
years, the proportion of female MEM
bers TO male members is about two to
one; how do you explain or account for
this?
2. Is 1T possible for man with our
present sharp competitive business
system to be a thoroughly successful
business man and at the same time a
consistent Christian, according to the
spirit of Christ's teachings?
5. What do you regard as the most
serious defect of the churches of our
day?
4. Is the combining of capital upon
the one hand and of labor upon the
other conducive to right relations be-
tween these two great forces in our
modern life? If not, what is?
5. What is socialism as you under
stand it? The fall elections showed a
marked increase in the socialistic vote
almost all over the country; how do
you account for this? Did the great
coal strike bear any relations to this
gain, in your judgment?
6. Did Jesus Christ say anything d.
rectly or indirectly about this great
problem of capital and labor? What do
you understand to be the spirit of His
teachings about it? Is the church of to-
day in vital and working harmony with
those teachings?
l. Judged from every standpoint,
when taken as a whole, do you believe
the world, is getting better or worse?
Upon what do you base your conclus-
ions?
What do you regard as the greatest
peril to our national life of today?
g. What do you regard as some of the
most serious defects in our municipal
life and government?

plant at this place, was perhaps fatally

manner his clothing was caught on a
set screw and he was whirled around
a shaft until all OF his clothing ex-
cept his shoes and stockings were torn
from his body. He received some ter
rible scalp wounds and was badly
bruised about the shoulders and back.
The first the other employees about
the establishment knew of the affair
was when they heard his body fall
from the shafting into an empty cider
tank. They ran to his rescue at once
and found him conscious, but unable
to give coherent account of how
he had been Injured, Medical assist
ance was called ands since his wounds
have been dressed he is resting east
ly.
Mr.. Dearborn has been resident
here for twenty-five or thirty wears
He has a wife and several childre,

INTERESTING FACTS
& For Nearly Every Man, Woman
Child.

"A short time ago we published an ar
ticle recommending TO our readers the
new discovery for the cure OF dyspep-
sia, called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
and the claims then made regarding the
wonderful curative properties OF the
remedy have been abundantly sustain
ed by the facts. People who We're eau
tious about trying new remedies adver-
tised in the newspapers and were final
" Induced to give Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets a trial were surprised and de-
lighted at the results. In many cases
a single package costing but 80 cents at
any drug store made complete cure,
and in every instance the most, bene-
fetal results were reported. From a
hundred or more received we have
space to publish only a few of the lat
est, but assure our readers we receive
SO many commendatory letters that we
shall publish each week a fresh list of
genuine unsolicited testimonials, and
never publish the same one twice.
From James Yemmeisler, Lacrosse,
Wis: Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
doing me more good than anything /
ever tried and I was so pleased at re-
suits that gave away several boxes to
my friends, who have laso had the same
benefits.
From Jacob Anthony, Portmurray, N.
j.: / have taken Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets with the best results. / had
dyspepsia for six years and had taken
q great deal of medicine, but the Tab
lets seem to take right a hold and feel
good. I am farmer and lime burner,
and I heartily recommend to every one
who has any trouble with his stomach
to use these Tablets.
From Mrs. M. X. West Preston,
Mimi: I have received surprisingly
good effects from using Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets. / gave one half of my
last box to q friend who also suffered
from indigestion, and she had the same
good results.
lac, Mich: I have been taking Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and am very much
better, and feel very grateful for the
great benefit have received in so short
q time.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are GER
tain cure for all forms Of Indigestion.
They are not claimed to be a cure-all,
but are prepared for stomach troubles
only, and physicians and druggists ev-
erywhere recommend them to all per-
sons suffering from nervous dyspepsia,
sour or acid stomach, heartburn, bloat-
ing or wind on stomach and similar dis
orders.

Friday morning Mrs. Mary Mounts
brought suit against jefferson Head
and III. T. Peck, proprietors of the ten
pin alley on charge of permitting a
minor to remain in the ten pin alley.
The minor is her son, Eugene, who was
hired by Head & Peck to set up the
pins. They paid the boy so cents, but
his mother brought the money back
to them, refusing to accept it. Setting
up the pins is light work at which boys
may earn good wages. Before hiring
the boys the proprietors consulted the
mayor, and he thought it no violation
of the law.

FOUND POSTAGE STAMPS.
Officers Raid House
Where Stamps Were seereted in a

Stove.
Special to Times Republican.
Centeryille Nov. 24.-About $40
worth of stamps were found last night
at the home of M. Ritchell in South
Centeryille as the result of search
made by the officers. Everything goes
to indicate that the stamps are stolen
property but whether or not Mr.. Ritch-
ell and his family are guilty OF any
crime has yet to be determined. Two
or three weeks ago a certain person
while examining a stove that Mr..
Ritchell wanted to sell discovered a roll
of stamps secreted therein. He took
six of the stamps and afterwards hand
ed them to Mr.. Quigley, telling where
he secured them. The inmates We're
shown the warrant and informed that
the officers had information regarding
a lot of postage stamps concealed in
the house. They We're advised to hand
them over and avoid trouble but once
they denied having anything of the
kind in the house. While this parley
was going on Mrs. Ritchell started out
the back way but was stopped by the
men at the door and officer Jackson
took from her package wrapped In
newspapers which proved to contain
the stamps for which search was being
made. A search of the premises failed
to reveal the presence Of any more
stamps, however.
After the stamps had been found
Mrs. Ritchell sought to explain thei,
presence by saying that she had found
them that day down near the Iowa
Central depot.
The stamps were brought to the
Mayors office and this morning were
counted. There was $52.2s worth of
2 centers and 500 in 1 cent stamps
making a total value of $3S.3S.
