Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Jan. 31.-The piano
and angelus contest which closes in this
city tonight gives promise Of causing a
lively row between the Elks and the
Maccabees. the leading contestants.
These two lodges have stood about
neck and neck ever since the contest
began seven months ago. Now that the
contest is about to close each is charg-
ing the other with dishonesty in the
matter of vote getting. Each lodge has
appointed a committee to watch the
other and procure evidence of Illegal
and tempered votes. The piano and
angelus are valued at $1,000. For every
10 cents expended at The places OF busi-
ness of those firms who are in the con
test one vote is allowed. 1t is charged
that many OF these firms are interested
in the outcome of tie contest, being
members of one or the other leading
lodges, and that c::rtain members OF
these have raised ,r otherwise tam
pered with votes. Many OF such votes
have been thrown out because of clear
erasures or additions having been made.
Several clerks about the city have been
accused of tampering with votes and
some pretty clear evidence is adduced
against some OF them.
When the final vote is counted to-
night 1t is expected that a merry round
up will be had. Much bitter feeling
has now been aroused and the two
lodges, as organizations, are at logger
heads, while the members for the most
part are almost personal enemies. 1t is
certain that new count will be asked
and that an uninteres.ed committee will
be appointed-if such can be found-to
pass upon the legality of the votes. 1t
is also entirely likely that the tangle
will end in law suit. as each lodge Is
determined to have the piano and an
gelus because of having cast the most
honest votes.
II the truth were known 1t Is probable
that each has, cast many dishonest
votes. Within the past few weeks the
contest has assumed the proportions of
a gigantic standardization and dis

THEORIES ABOUT cATARRH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding q Common
Disease.

Disease.
Mark Twain's cure for cold in the
head was simple, but he claims very eff
fective in his own case; his plan was 70
eat nothing whatever for TWEEN
hours or presumably until the trouble
had disappeared.
Altho not able to speak from personal
experience as to the effectiveness OF
this treatment, it certainly has the
merit of extreme economy, but IT occurs
to us that the application of 1t to case
of nasal catarrh might be ATTENDED
with difficulties.
Catarrh, as everyone knows, IS
chronic cold in the head and Mark
Twain's treatment, if 1t should become
fad, would make of us 4 nation OF
fasters: an army, emulating the eA-
ample of the immortal Tanner VINO
achieved world wide fame by fasting
forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming a ma
tional disease and there IS little douDt
but that the errors in diet, particularly
over eating is a very common cause.
Most people however are more IN
terested in the cure of the trouble than
In the cause. and modern meoical
science has produced more ettectve anu
less heroic methods than Mr.. Twain $.
Hydrastin is a new remedy, very ef-
fective in some forms of Catarrh. Reo
Gum is another which on account OF It's
antiseptic properties is very valuaple,
while many severe cases OF chrome
catarrh have been entirely cured by the
sanguinaria or extract of blood rooot
alone.
Within year an enterprising chem
- lsf.,
fist has combined all Of these remedles
in tablet form, palatable and convenient
and the superiority of this tablet over
other catarrh remedies is SO apparent
that all druggists now carry them IN
stock to supply the popular demand.
They are called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and 1t is doubtful If any medi-
cine has achieved a national popularity
in so short a time as this.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used by
thousands of travelling men because
they can be carried In the pocket and
used any time and in any quantity
being free from cocaine, opiate or any
poisonous drug.
They clear the head and throat from
the disgusting secretions OF catarrh,
very often in few hours time.
For nasal catarrh they are far super
Tor to any wash, lotion or ointment the
use OF which is often as inconvenient
and annoying as the disease itself.
For coughs, colds, bronchial catarrh
and catarrh of stomach these tablets
give immediate relief and a permanent
cure where lotions, douches and in
halers make no impression whatever.
This preparation is a boon to catarrh
sufferers and any druggist will tell you
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablest is a REM
edy that has come to stay.

SURVEYORS AT WORK.

veyors began work yesterday survey
ing for the proposed change of grade
for the branch from .Tanesville to Cedar
Falls, which when completed Will make
this city the terminus of the branch in
stead of Mona Junction. When the
surveyors began work on the New
Hartford change it was thought that
this last Improvement would not be
taken up this year, but this seems not
the case. The two lines will bring a
large number of laborers here and sew.

expended. The New Hartford improve
ment will cost 100000 or 100000 and
the branch line will cost as much 1t
will pass over the ground originally in

the owners held out for too. high n
price. The freight and passenger serv-
ice will be greatly benefited by the
change.
