A GREAT TRUTH.
How 1t Has Spread from Home to
Home in Ottumwa.

In every part of Ottumwa; in the
homes of the wealthy, in the humble.
abode of the man of toll, It's now
we'll known fact-a great truth-that
Doans Kidney Pills has brought
more comfort to backache sufferers
and cures more sick kidneys than
any medicine of modern times.
Mrs. Elmer Rutter, 1913 Hickory
street, says: From over exertion
was seized with an acute attack of
kidney complaint some time ago. For
"a few days | felt poorly then finally
was taken quite suddenly with most
excruciating pains in my back. 1t
settled in my kidneys and l was laid
up and unable to do the slightest
thing and unfit even to help myself.
| knew what caused the trouble but
how to check it was a mystery. In
spite of treatment it grew worse in
stead of better and you can readily
imagine what misery victim suffers
who can neither, sit, stand or lie
without enduring excruciating tor
ture. When at my wits end | noticed
a box of Doan's Kidney Pills in the
house which my husband brought
home from Will L. Sargent's drug
store, and deciding to give then. a
trial, | took few doses per direc-
tons. finished the box and was
able to resume my household duties
as of old How box of pills could
produce such results is hard to ex-
plain but it is fact and | will only

above in personal interview" For

riage, and no doubt they are sincere
at the time, but such promises are I'M
fortunately as often broken as not,
and know of one unhappy case where
a young man boosted to me that he
had never had any intention of Keep
ing the things he swore to.
AS l say, our order is firmly op-
posed to such marriages, not from
any antagonlsm to Protestants, but
wholly on account of the miserable
results which have come in the expe-
rience of every priest. This senti-
ment is not growing; it has always
been the same, and the laws which
govern such cases have come down
from time to time immemorial and are
quite adequate to present needs. 1t
is not SO much question of regula-
lions as of the discretion of the spir-
itual father of the party concerned.
Perhaps the greatest sufferers are
the children of such marriages. The
first disagreement of married life will
often be over the christening of the
first babe The poor, children, in the
unhappy dissensions of their parents,
will, as like as not, grow up without
any religion at all
Zone thing about which l would
like to be more emphatic is in contra
dieting the common notion that the
church regards the ties of such mar
riages lightly. Once made, it is as ir-
revocable as any other marriage. Wit
ness the historical case of the mar
riage of Jerome Bonaparte to Miss
Patterson. The church steadfastly
refused under all the pressure that
was brought to bear by the great Ma
poleon to annul his brothers mar

From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The twelfth deserter to be taken in
to custody in this city by the local po-
lice and returned to the army officers
at Des Moines is John HuddlaSton,
the son of Milton Huddlsston, who re-
sides on Orchard street in this city,
and who deserted from the Seventy
first coast artillery at Fort Casey,
Washington, on October 2, after SER
vice, extending over about twelve
DAYS. Huddleston has been in Ottum-
wa two weeks, and although several
attempts have been made to capture
him he eluded the officers until last
evening, when, firing of the hide-and-
seek game, he went to the police sta
ton and gave himself up to Chief
Gray. In consideration of this act,
Mayor Pickler and Chief Gray wrote
letter which young Huddleston will
present to the army officers asking
for leniency in his case.

sentative of the Courier this morning

August, and that after he came to
| himself and realized what his act
meant he lost his patriotic enthusi-
asm. On being sent to Fort Casey
and told that he must learn his gen

regulations, he decided to desert at
the first opportunity, as he is not able
to read and could not. therefore, learn
his orders. 1t was not long until he
had a chance to leave the fort, and
1 this he did, going from there to Da
kota, in company with John Eyre, a
young man also from Ottumwa, who
had enlisted with Huddleston and

their headquarters in the Corcoran build
ing. were jubilant this morning over what
they said was the hopeful outlook of set
t!ement of the strike in their favor. one
reason assigned for their cheerful hopes
was the fact that a member of the Master
Plumbers Association. Mr.. ]. w. Hurley,
had acceded to their demands. They also
affirmed that other members of the assoc
citation had made concessions. but officers
of the master plumbers organization de-
MED that any of their number. excepting
Mr.. Hurley, had yielded. and declared that
all the other members of their association
were standing firm.

say they are satisfied with the situation.
About nineteen members of the Master
Plumbers Association went ont and fin
ished up large job of work that could not
be delayed yesterday for contracting

of the strikers refusing to return to work.
A master plumber, not a member of the

that he is in favor of the strikers de-
mands and expects to put on union men in
a few days. One of the strikers also
stated that one of the leading employ ing
plumbers of the city had express ad himself
as favoring the journeymen III yh-ir de-

CAMP AT CHALMETTE
MAINTAINED IN VIOLATION OF
NEUTRALITY LAWS.
Result of Col. Crowder's Investigation
According to Chicago Tribune's
Correspondent.

CHICAGO. April 14.-According to the
Tribune. the United States government s
investigation of the big British stock camp
at Port Chalmette practically has been con-
Guided. Officers at New Orleans, the Tri-
Dunes correspondent says, contend that
the finding will be that the post is in vio-
lation of the neutrality laws, and that the
admissions Of the British officers in charge
are sufficient proof of this fact.
Evidence collected privately by Col E. II.
Crowder investigation officer assigned by
Adjt. Gen. Corbin, and by secret service
men and the army officers now stationed
at Jackson barracks, constitutes the final
report, which will be forwarded to Wash
ington within a few days. There will be
no public inquiry.
Army officers at Jackson barracks who
supplied part of the information to Col
Crowder contend. according to the Tri-
Dunes special. that the place. on the evil
dence given by the English officers them
selves, can stand as nothing else than a
continuous supply post for the British
army.
