Des Moines, Feb. 12.-The Iowa Tele-

to occupy the streets of Des Moines

Suit was brought to GUST the company
and it claimed the right to remain

granting telephone and telegraph conf
panies the right to occupy all pubic
highways, claiming that the term pub

said yesterday, when speaking of the
boys absence, that he had no doubt
that all three, if led by young Finnerty
will take care of themselves admirably
until hunger drives them home.
The boys evidently played truant

ed a train in the morning to leave town.
None of them put in an appearance ar
home for dinner, but as this was not
very unusual their absence was not
noticed. However, at supper time, they
failed again to return, and the anxious

Davenport. Feb. 12.-Davenport pays
no bonuses, was the keynote of the
meeting of the Davenport Business
Mems Association Tuesday evening.
a movement was Started to establish
an entertainment fund with which to
better display and advertise the advan-
tages of Davenport as location for
factories, but lest any one might think
this was meant for a bonus fund the
members of the association emphati-
scally stated that this was not so.
1t was emphatically stated that there
would be no bonuses offered to any
company to locate in Davenport. The
manufacturers would be entertained,
shown the locations. the advantages
would be explained to them and the
price of the land they chose to occupy.
II they did not think it more profitable
to come to Davenport with the many
advantages here, thar to go elsewhere,
and the only advantage was bonus,
then the best thing they could do would
be to trot along.

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.

A Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.
In it's earlier stages catarrh is more
of nuisance than a menace to thu
general health, but sooner or later tn:
disease extends to the throat, bronchial
tubes and even to the stomach and in
testines.
Catarrh is essentially disease of the
mucous membrane. the local symptoms
being profuse discharge of mucous
stoppage of the nostrils, irritation IL
throat, sneezing, gagging and frequent
clearings of the throat and head.
The usual treatment by local DOUGH
es, snuffs, salves, etc.. often gives tenn
porary relief, but anything like a euro
can only be obtained by a treatment
which removes the catarrhal faint from
the blood and the disappearance of the
Inflammation from the mucous surf
aces.
A new remedy which meets these re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing catarrh
is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can
cine, as they are composed of such val
liable remedies as Blood root, Hydras-
tin, Red gum and similar cleansing an
tiseptics, which cure by eliminating
from the blood and mucous surfaces the
catarrhal poison.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large
pleasant tasting lozenges taken inter-
nally, allowing them to dissolve slowly
in the mouth, in this way they reach
the throat, fauces and the entire ali
mentary canal.
ii desired, they may also be dissolved
in water and used as doucl1e, in addi-
ton to the internal use. but 1t is not at
all necessary to use douche; few OF
them dissolved in the mouth daily will
be sufficient. However, when there is
made from these tablets will give inn
mediate relief, but the regular daily use
internally of these tablets will cure the
whole catarrhal trouble without resort
ing to the Inconvenience of a douche.
DR.. Bement states "that the internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking
the place of the old plan of douching
and local application, and further says
that probably the best and certainly the
safest remedy at present on the market
is STARTS Catarrh Tablets. as no Sc
Get is made of their composition and all
the really efficient remedies for catarrn
are contained in this tablet"
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at so cents for full-sized packages
Ask your druggist and If he is honest
he will tell you there is no safer, mora
palatable, more efficient and conveni-
ent remedy on the market.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
Catarrh Of the Stomach Is
Not a Disease.
nut Condition Resulting from
INDIGESTION.

Recent experiments, by practical tests
and examination with the aid of the A-Ray.
establish it as fact that Catarrh OF the
Stomach is not disease in itself, but that
it is a condition resulting from repeated
attacks of indigestion. :.
The stomach and allmentary canal. or d.
gestive tract, is lined or coated with.
mucous membrane Studdng the surface
OF this mucous membrane are the gastric
glands. Here, also, are the terminal
branches of the pneumogastrlc nerves, and
many branches from the sympathetlc sys-
TEN. When the stomach is overloaded, or
when food is taken into it that tails to d.
sest, it decays-rots, and infiames the
mucous membrane, exposing the nerves,
stead of the natural juices of digestion.
This is called Catarrh of the Stomach. The
condition was never known to exist except
when preceded by indigestion. In other
words, we cannot have what Is commonly
called Catarrh of the Stomach until we have
had indigestion Hence the manifest need
OF perfect cure for Indigestion
