Judge Rrannan Retires.

Davenport, Jan. 2.-The last stroke
of the midnight bell Wednesday night
closed the judicial career Of Judge Will
lam r. Brannan, of this city. His term
of office. which has been at intervals
for the past thirty years, is over and he
now retires to the ranks, while new
Judge takes his place upon tho bench
IN the Seventh judicial district of Iowa.
The closing of a judicial career like
Judge Brannan's is of more than pass
ing interest. 1t takes from the bench OF
this district one of the best known
judges in the state. and removes from
service the best equity lawyer in this
section of the county. In many respects
Judge Brannan has few equals and no
superiors on the supreme bench today.
Judge Brannan's successor is Colonel
d. v. Jackson, of Muscatine, a lawyer
Of marked ability and one who will no
doubt serve the people of this district
in an able manner. He holds his first
term of court in Muscatine county, be-
ginning the 18th of next month.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Jan. 2.-The coal stu
alton in this city has become extreme
ly serious. But two dealers in the city
have supply at present, and at these
places no orders were booked for to-
days delivery, as the present supply Is
sold several days ahead. Unless the
situation becomes relieved within few
days Webster City will find herself in
the throes of coal famine.
The small supply now on hand con-
sists wholly of lump coal. The city
electric light, steam heat, power and
pumping plans have but one days sup
ply ahead. These plans use from ten
to twelve tons apiece per day. The sit
uation before these municipal utilities
is far from assuring. There appears to
be a prospect that Webster City may be
dark, y:aterless, without power and
without heat soon unless the situation
changes. City officials and coal deal
ers are hopeful, however tho the OUT
look today is bad. Enough coal is or
dered ahead, and has been for ten days,
by the retail merchants, but for some
reason best known to the railroads the
supply is being confiscated, or is not
being shipped. Citizens are alarmed
at the situation and much suffering is
being caused.

i HOW TO DRINK MILK.
Why il Disaqrees With Some Poop

Why it Disaurees With Some People
When one needs reyiving stimulant
after exhaustion nothing can rival the
effects of hot milk slipped slowly.
Some people say they can not digest
milk and these are the people who
drink it down quickly SO that the dises-
tive acids. in playing around it, form
large curds which give trouble before
they can be absorbed.
The right way is to sip the milk IN
small amounts, so that each mouthful
as it descends into the stomach, is
surrounded by the gastric fluid. and
when the whole glassful is down the
effect is that of spongy mass Oh Gurus
in and out of which the keen gastric
Juices course, speedily doing their WORN
of turning the curd into peptones thas
the tissues can take up.

take one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets afterwards, as the pepsin and
,iiastase they contain increase the
quantity and efficiency OF the gastric
Juices and supply the natural digestive
ferments which all weak stomachs
lack.
Miss Anna Folger, a professional
nurse, speaking OIL the Nalue VI Seoeiie $
Tablets in convalescence says: In aduit
patients recovering from severe illness
and especially in children where milk
disagrees, one or two tablets overcome
any difficulty and seem to strengthen
the stomach in remarkably sholt
time. myself have used them daily
for years, when my own digestion has
suffered from the irregularities and
loss of sleep consequent upon my &C.
cupation.

professional people and others whose
meals are necessarily hurried or IT.

Tablets Of the greatest value in keep
ing up the tone and digestive vigor OF
the stomach
They contain the active digestive
xerrnents the lack of which is really
the only cause of indigestion and stom-
ach troubles, and the regular daily use
of them after meals will probably cure
any case OF stomach trouble except
such as arises from cancer or ulcera-
ton.
Many druggists have said that they
sell more Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
than all other stomach remedies COM

Des Moines, Jan. 2.-The trustees of

rangements for the erection Of a new
building on the campus next season.

Mrs. David Ewing has notified the
trustees that it is her desire to carry
out the oft expressed intention of her
late husband, who was for many years
a trustee of the university and one of
its staunchest supporters. to build a
library building for the university. 1t
is not likely, however, that this build
ing will come this year. Mr.. Ewing, a
number of months before his death, an
nounced that he intended to devote
$4,000 of his fortune to the erection OF
the new library building. 1t was the
general understanding he would make
provision for this in his will. He did
not leave will, and as a result the
trustees were disposed to give up the
idea of library building for some
years to come. Mrs. Ewing, however,
has said that she knew what was her
husbands desire and that he had ex-
pected to put up the building and per-
sonally supervise it's construction dur
ing his life time. She has announced
that she will carry out this plan as
soon as the affairs of the estate can be
adjusted, so that the necessary funds
can be available
