Train Robbers Drove to the Wapsie
River Bottoms Near Dixon.
Davenport, Nov. 27.-The uncertain-
ty as to which direction the bandits
made their escape after the express
train holdup near here last Saturday
morning was cleared UP yesterday by
the finding of the team which they stole
and which in the few hours before day
light Saturday morning they drove
from the scene of the robbery to point
north of Dixon about forty miles from
here. There the team was discovered
Wednesday by Special Agents d. b.
Eddy and G. w. Rompers of Chicago, of
the United States Express Company.
The team had been abandoned on the
Wapsie river bottom, and the bandits
had stolen a boat and rowed down the
river to point where the theft of
fresh team gave them a big start on the
officers.
w. II. Quick of Des Moines, general
superintendent of the United States
Express Company, in an interview de-
clared that the company had not lost
faith in its safes. He thought they
might be perfected little by making
them with oval tops and that then a
charge of explosive that would open the
safe would also destroy its contents.
John Byrne, of Buffalo, N. Y, chief
special agent of the company, arrived
here yesterday and took charge of the
search for the fugitive train robbers.
Many base belief that they will be
caught upon the theory that they are
local men and that some of them are
now not so far distant from the scene
of the robbery.

CHANGE OF CLIMATE
Not Necessary in Order to Cure
Catarrh.

Not Necessary in Order TO Cure
Catarrh.
The popular idea that the only cure
for chronic catarrh is change OF cll-
mate is a mistake, because catarrh is
found in all climates in all sections OF
the country; and even if 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 a 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 a 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: IT suffered so many winters from
catarrh that I took it as a matter or
course, and that nothing would cure 1t
except a change of climate, which my
business affairs would not permit me to
take.
sMy nostrils were almost always
clogged up; had to breathe thru the
mouth, causing an inffamed, irritated
throat. The thought of eating break
fast often nauseated me and the ca
farrh gradually getting into my stom-
ach took away my appetite and diges-
ton.
"My druggist advised me to try 30
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 Stuarts 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 Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets to ward off Group and
colds, and with older people I have
known of cases where the hearing had
been seriously impaired by chronic ca
tarrh cured entirely by this new rem
edy."

Des Moines Nov. 27.-There is a good
deal of mystery about the indictment of
the proprietors of one of the Des Moines
newspapers in Jasper county for the al
legged crime of printing advertisements
of immoral nature. Usually the pro-
cess is by and thru the federal courts
for sending something thru the mails
not mailable, but it appears that in
this case the federal authorities would
not lend themselves to any such scheme.
1t is understood the Indictment was
brought about by persons in this city
who have grievance against the pro-
prietors Of the paper, and as conse-
quence the Jasper county people are
coming in for considerable share of
sharp criticism.

and caboose remained on the track,
while the engine and forward cars of
the train broke loose and passed on in
safety.
Several OF the wrecked cars were
loaded with merchandise so that the

claimed 1t as indemnity land and 1t was
sold. The claim was made that the
land was never in fact swamp land
