Iowa Falls, Nov 13.-The unfair
comparisons made by the defeated
candidates and others in Hardin coun-
ty relative to the vote cast at Iowa
Falls and the charges of ballot box
stuffing are easily refuted, when the
facts are taken into consideration.
Taking the vote of 1900 as much
fairer basis of comparison. 1t Will be
seen how baseless and malicious are
these charges. At that election the
total vote of Hardin township, includ-
ing the city of Iowa Falls, was S95.
AT the late election the total vote cast
for representative was 96S, being gain
In three years of only seventy three
votes. When 1t is remembered that
this city has Increased in population
more during the last three years than
during any similar period in her his
tory. il will be seen how foolish are
these charges.
Prior to the election carefG pom
was made of every school district and
ward in the township, and that poll
shows, 1881 legal voters in the town
ship. SO that so far from stuftlng the
ballot boxes as charged, we did NOT
pou our full vote by more than lou
votes. Even the township and village
Of E.ldora increased their vote by forty
five votes over that of 1900. and nearly
doubled that of 1902

afternoon was confidenced out of $50

hy man who represented himself as
being the owner of large cattle. rancn
in Montana and who offered the boy a
check for $500 as security for the loan.

AFT the hotel. but instead OF being met
by Glenn they were taken in charge by
the bogus Montana ranchman. who
said his name was j. II. Stanley.
STANLEY" walked the young fellows
around town. said he would take them
to Montana and give them positions on
his ranch, and finally wound up at the
Northwestern passenger station. Point
ing out trunk he said it belonged to
him and he asked the older brother to
stay there and watch it for few min
utes while he went up town and paid
bill. He took the younger brother
along with him. Upon arriving at the
United Bank building the confidence
man entered. but returned In two OF
three minutes saving that the people
inside could not cash his check. He
said the bill was for only small
amount and he asked Pc.tit'how mucn
he had. The young man said he had
three SO notes. The CRATER said TO

the lamb said. we are going out on
The same train together and you can
pay me back then"
The Missourian handed over the $50
and the Montana man took It and
walked into the front yard and out OF
the back door. Petit waited for half
an hour and then went to his brother
who was standing guard over the
trunk. AT O'clock they went to po-
lice headquarters and told their story

THE FEAR OF HUMBuG
Prevents Many People From Trying a
Good Medicine.

'5s II
Stomach troubles are so common ana
In most cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be radi-
cal, permanent cure for dyspepsia and
indigestion. Many such pride them
selves on their acuteness in never be-
ing humbugged, especially in medl-
cines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far. SO far In TACT, tnal
many people suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk Ht-
tie time and money in faithfully test
ing the claims made of preparation
so reliable and universally used as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not a
secret patent medicine. NO secret being
made of their ingredients. but ANALYSIS
shows them to contain the natural d.
gestive ferments. pure aseptie pepsin,
the digestive acids. Golden Seal, BIS
muth, hydrastis and NIX. They are
not eathartic. neither do they act pow
erfully on any organ, but they cure m
digestion on the common sense plan OF
digesting the food eaten thoroughly
before it has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. This Is the only
secret of their success
cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely on the
bowels. whereas the whole trouble is
really In the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That is ali
there is to it. Food not digested or half
digested is poison. as it creates. gas,
acidity, headaches, palp1tation OF the
heart, loss of fesh and appetite ana
many other troubles which are often
called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at 90 cents per package.

FOUND DON BLASPHRMY

We have never been inclined to think
much of Dowie, the Chicago man, who
claims to be the reincarnated Elijah
who is the head of the town of Zion
which now has a population of ten thous-
and. SO far as we know DR.. Dowie has
but one convert in North Carolina, Dr.
c. A. Rominger, of Reidsville. Speaking
of Zion, DR.. Rominger is quoted as saying:
Tn Zion there is no alcohol, no tobacco,
no blasphemy. no pork, no doctors, no
vice and no color line
1t may be a good sort of place for folks
who like that sore of place, but we
have no desire to live in any town where
there is no pork, no doctor. and no color
line. We are skeptical, too, about the
statement that there is no vice in Dowie's
town. There never yet existed a town
of human beings that was perfect. AS to
there being no blasphemy in Zion, it is
founded upon blasphemy, its head be
ing guilty of the blasphemy of calling
himself second Elijah.
