license to marry Louisa Brouillette he
had to satisfy the county clerk as to

adopted by A. w Dobson, and was
known as Guy Dobson. So. when 10

So Mr.. Dobson swore to statement
that while he had adopted Coates and
his name was Guy Dobson, he had

boy and he was no longer his adopted
son and should be called Coates. So
the license was issued to Guy r
Coates.

An Important Step to Destroy
Express Companies Traffic
in Liquor
THE FEDERAL TAKES ACTION
Adams Express Company Indicted for
Alleged Violation of Internal Reve-
nue. Laws-c. o. D. Method Claimed
to Constitute Sale of Goods and
Hence Requires Retail License.

Keokuk, Oct 23.-The federal grand
jury has returned to the United States
district court an indictment of the Adj
ans Express Company for an alleged
violation of the internal revenue laws.
Persons at Birmingham, Iowa, received
c o. d. packages of whisky from con-
signors in Illinois and paid collections
and charges to express agent.
The grand jury and District Attorney
Miles held that the C. o. d. method
constitutes a sale of goods by the ex-
press company to the consignee and
hence requires a retail liquor dealers
license.
The express company will be indicted
as corporation under California
precedent. United States Marshal
Christian will serve notice on the
president of the Adams Express Com
pany and the agent at Birmingham.
The case grows out of efforts of peo-
pie in many Iowa communities to pre-
vent the sale of liquor and the efforts
OF dealers to circumvent the Iowa pro-
hibition law.
The latter is badly crippled by de-
cision of the United States supreme
court that interstate traffic in original
packages can not be stopped by state
law The Indictment yesterday Is
based on the theory that the c. Q. d.
method may be stopped thru the fed
eral court machinery.
1t is the most important step in the
great prohibition struggle in Iowa since
the Original package" law of fifteen
years ago.

AN IDEAL MEDICINE.
A New Discovery Which Cures all
Forms of Catarrh.

Forms OF Catarrh.
The tablet is the ideal form in which
to administer medicine, but until re-
Gently no successful catarrh tablet hao
ever been ATTEMPTED. There is now
however, an excellent and palatable
remedy for catarrh in tablet form
known as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and
sold by druggists, composed Of the most
recent discoveries in medicine for cure
of catarrh and results from their use
have been highly gratifying.
The old time treatment Of catarrh
was in the form of inhalers, washes
douches, sprays, etc. Later on internal
cess, but being in liquid or powder
form were inconvenient to use and ike
all medicines in liquid or powder form
lose their medicinal properties when
opened or exposed to the air.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, contain
highly concentrated antiseptics. Hy-
drastin, Blood root and Red gum which
kill the catarrh germs in the blood and
mucous mebrane, and in this respect
gre strictly scientific and modern, be-
cause all authorities are now agreed
that catarrh is constitutional blood
disease, and local applications can have
only transitory effect.
The use of inhalers. douches and
sprays is nuisance and inconvenience
and can in no wise compare favorably
with the same antiseptics given In
tablet form internally, where they can
reach the stomach and blood and Kill!
catarrh germs right where they are
produced.
A prominent lawyer and public
speaker of Pittsburg says: have been
troubled with catarrh OF the head and
throat for twelve years. In this eli
mate 1t seems impossible to get rid
of it. The continual dropping of mucus
from the nose into the throat caused
irritation and hoarseness, seriously in
terfering with my public speaking. II
took me an hour or more of coughing
gagging. expectorating and sneezinG
every morning before could settle
down to work and this condition grad
ually brought on catarrh of stomach,
causing loss of appetite, poor digestion
and foul breath, which annoyed me
exceedingly. My physician advised me
to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and
took them for two months and was as
tonished to find how quickly they
cleared my head. throat and stomach
and l have no hesitation in recon-
mending them. They are not only
pleasant to take. but they seem to get
at the very root of the trouble, because
since using them have had no trace
of catarrh.
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at so cents for full sized package.
They can be carried in the pocket
and used any time and as often as de-
sired since they contain no cocaine,
mercury or any other Injurious drug.

Henderson,s vote in 1900 by plurali-

Net rep. plurality. 1000. l0.o4o
Thus it will be seen that since Gov.
Boies lives in Blackhawk county re-
publican plurality of 1000 there when
Henderson got 1,424 may be strong;
but. en- the other hand, Wright county
gave Henderson 2.D54 to the good over
all other candidates and should be
credited to do fully 500 better by Judge
Birdsall when the Birdsall family has
been pioneers in that county. Like
wise Hardin and FRANKLIN are enthus-
iastic over Birdsall's candidacy and
will give him larger pluralities than
Henderson polled. Thus even repub-
iican estimates are too low at L20O for
each county when Hardin alone gave
Henderson 2,456 and Franklin LIS
more than all other candidates. Hen
!derson's pluralities of 1904 and Lips
lin Butler and Delaware have been
nearly cut in halves by the republican
claim Of 500 and 700 respectively, SO
there is no excuse for reducing them
to 500 each as is done in our demo-
Gratis table. Henderson, OF course,
was strong in Dubuque county and
held its democratic plurality down to
1881. Republicans expect TO see it go
back to 5000. Our democrats claim.
of $500 might be conceded and yet rea-
son would demand that republican fig
ures for Hardin and Franklin be
changed enough to offset it. Repub-
licans this year concede Bremen to the
democrats by 500 while Henderson held
1T republican by 1854. There is no dis
pute on this estimate. With Buchanan
county our republican figurer claims
800 plurality for Birdsall. Henderson
got s7S and our democratic friend
would change soc more votes than the
republican comedies. giving the coun-
ty to Boies by 800. To do this Boies
must win over to the democratic party
737 republican voters out Of a tota;
of 1851 cast in the county in 1900. So
it is safe to rely upon the above first
given republican estimate of 3,4OO plur-
atty for Birdsall even tho Dubuque
county is conceded $500 against him
as cur democratic friend claims.
