Anamosa. Nov. ga wedding wac
solemnized at the Gillen Hotel sa'ur-

of series of events far out OF the orai'

r.. II. Thurston. of Chicago, q young
man holding good paying position
with one of the railroads; the brlde
Miss Anna Crawford, young woman
who had that day been paroled IRON,
the Anamosa prison. He Is 2S years VI
age, and she is %.
The affair dates back to some tous
years ago when the present bride ana
groom were residents of Clinton coun-
ty. The records go to show that the
two had been intimate and that one
night In the spring of 1901. Whlie Ihur-
ston was at her home. man In an IN
toxicated condition pre- esented himsel1
n. the door and deman anded admittance.
II was denied him. There was an al
tercation in the course of which the
woman drew a revolver and shot thu
visitor, killing him. The woman was
arrested on charge of murder con-
victed of manslaughter and received a
sentence of five years.
Thurston has been loyal to the wom-
an thruout. His visits to Anamoss
have been regular and his efforts
toward securing a pardon have been
unrelenting. A number of unsuccess-
iui attempts at an audience with the
governor failed. Finally he was granted
an interview and in the course OF
events the parole. which reached Ana
mosa last Friday night, was granted.
The conditions are that Thurston, who
is in position to look after the woman
in respectable shape. should marry her.
and the event at Gilien House above
mentioned. and at which Justice A. G..
Wilds officiated. was the fulfillment.
The woman's reputation at Clinton
was not of the best, yet Thurston, who
is man of good address, more than
average Intelligence and apparently
conscientious. states he has felt thru
out the long -drawn-out ordeal that the
not criminaily liable for her act he was
at least equally to blame from moral
standpoint. and with this idea in mind
he has done the honorable thing and
made all possible reparation, as well as
giving her an opportunity to lead tho
life OF good citizen.
The couple departed on the evening
train for Chicago and there they Will

pIete Answer to His Chief Deputy's
Complaint, Which is That He Was
Compelled to Share His Salary With
sammis' Brother.
Special to Times-Repuhliean:


LeMars Nov 23.-J. u. Sammis was
In LeMars today, having returned Sun
day from Washington. and other east
ern points. He says there is no truth
whatever in the accusations made by
Milton Howe in his charges of miscon-
duct in the office of internal revenue
collector at Dubuque. Said Mr.. Sam
mis-.
II have only this to say: The So
called charges Of Mr.. Howe are tissue
of falsehood, Misrepresentation and
deceit. In due time 1 shall make a
complete answer TO them in formal
way.
II never suggested, required, COM
manded or compelled any deputy to
eQualize salaries with another deputy.
Mr.. Howe was relieved OF his duties
because l was not satisfied with his
work and because thought could find
someone who would better perform the
duties of his position. In this was
not disappointed. He evidently seeks
revenge and to accomplish 1t is willing
to condemn himself.
"Mr. Howe remained as my deputy
for thirteen months. On the day the
office was turned over to me notified
him that it was my intention to make
my brother, E. p. Sammis, chief deputy,
and before finally dispensing with Mr..
Howe's services gave him sixty days
notice, that he might secure other work.
The proof of these statements and the
utter disproof of every allegation con-
tained in Mr. Howe's complaint. so far
as l am concerned, will be made ap-
parent when have had an opportunity
to present the facts"

THEY ACTUALLY DO THE WORK.
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Di-
aested-Some Stomaohs Must Have

HeIp.
Food taken into the stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the con-
5ition of the stomach. is not digested Is
worse than no food at all. This IS
true statement as far as 1t goes and
great many dyspeptics go only this far
with their reasoning. They argue with
themselves that because their stomachs
do not do the work given them. they
must be given less work.; In othes
words, they must be starved. 1t would
be Just as sensible for q business
man who is unable to do all his own
work to cut down his business to his
capacity as 1t is for man to starve
himself to relieve his stomach. The
sensible business man employs help
and goes forward with his business
Likewise the sensible dyspeptic viii
employ help for his stomach and give
his body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom-
acfs OF great portion OF digestive ac-
ton. Their component parts are idsn-
tical with those of the digestive fluids
and secretions of the stomach and they
simply take up the grind and carry on
the work Just the same as good,
strong, healthy stomach would do 1t.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance IN
the stomach or bowels, They them
selves digest the food and supply the
system with all the nourishment con-
tafned in what is eaten and carry out
Natures plans for the sustenance ana
maintenance of the body.
How much more sensible Is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs! BY
this means body and brain get all the
good, nutritious food they need and the
man; is properly nourished and
equipped to carry ON his work and per-
form his duties. He could not possibly
be in proper working condition by
starving himself or employing somt
w-fangled, insufficient food that does.
not contain enough nutriment for g.
.year-old baby. A strong man doinS.
strong work must be properly fed and
this applies to the brain as we'll as the
body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by reliev.
ing the stomach OF It's work. enable ~

health and strength. Nature repairs
the worn and wasted tissues just az
she heals and knits the bone OF a
broken limb. which Is Of course not
used during the process Of repair.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale BY all druggists at so cents box
ana they are the one article that the
druggist does not try to sell something
IN the place Of that's "just rs good"
Their unqualified merit and success
and the universal demand for them has
placed them within the reach OF every
one.

johnson had squealed once before In
order to save his own bacon. Biggs,
a well-known outlaw, who was arrested
with Johnson at Goldtield, jumped from
the train while being taken to Sioux
City for trial and has never been heard
from.
A couple of events which transpired
subsequent to the killing of Johnson
have thrown much light upon the sit
uation with reference to the Rains
bargers and opened the eyes of the
officials and others to the fact that
there appears to have been a concerted
action on the part of few desperate
men, some of whom are now dead and
others moved away, to annihilate the
Ratnsharger family. On June 3, 1885,
a startling report was spread over the
county that an attempt had been made
to assassinate Doctors Underwood and
Rtenour. of this city, while returning
from visiting patient five miles north
of Steamboat Rock. 1t was claimed
that four masked men with Win
chester rifles fired at them from the
timber beside the road. The buggy
only was hit, the men and horses es
capped.
liam Rainsbarger were arrested Fin
William was released on his own bonds.
That night a mob of rs to 100 men
battered down the Jail door and shot
Fin and Manse to death. The matter
of shooting at the doctors was investi
gated by the grand jury and no bill
was found as the evidence showed that
each one of the Rainsbargers charged
with the shooting was able to prove an
alibi by unimpeachable evidence.
1t was claimed that the doctors were
were to be killed because they could
give damaging evidence against the
Rairshargers. No one has ever been
able to find the buggy to this day.
In November following a half-witted
fellow around Bunjer reported he had
been fired upon at night by the RAINS
bargers near Abbott, his horse killed
and himself shot. William Rainsbarges
and two of his boys were arras ted
charged with the crime. A mob with
Win chester rifles followed the sheriff
and his prisoners to this city. The
prisoners were taken to Marshalltown
and turned loose An investigation
showed clearly that the boy had shot
his horse and shot himself thru the
leg. The hair on the horse and the
flesh on the boys leg were powder
burned. The case was dropped because
!. WIS clearly put-up Job.
No more respectable citizens or
worthy neighhors can be found any
where than William Rainsbar
ger and his sons. now living on fine
farms east Of Steamboat Rock. The
old. turbulent days are gone, let us
hope, forever. William Rainsbarger
has been called to act as grand Juror
himself and his son Joseph has been
constable OF the township in which he
lives and where he was accused Of do
ing so many bad things. All enjoy the
confidence and esteem Of their neigh
bors, and dessrvedly, for their lives
have been most exemplary.
However people may differ In opin-
ion, there is growing belief that
Frank and Nate should be given
chance once more, that they should be
parolsd until such time as they can
show by theil. conduct that they ara
entitled to the blessings Of free citizen
ship and the confidence and respect of
thel. neighbours and acauaintances.
