THE FEAR OF HuMRue
Prevents Many People from Trying a
Good Medicine.

Stomach troubles are 80 common and
in most cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be radical.
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestton. Many such pride themselves
onStheir. acuteness in never being hum
bugged. especially in medicines.
This fear of being hunbugged can be
carried too far. so far, in fact, that
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk a little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of preparation 80 relia-
BILE and universally used as Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medl-
cines for the reason that they are not
secret patent medicine. no secret is
made of their ingredients, but an analy-
sis shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin,
the digestive acids, golden seal, bis
mutIl, hydrastis and nux. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act powerful
~ on any organ, but they cure indiges-
ton on the common sense plan of d.
costing the food eaten thoroughly be-
fore 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 all
there is to it. Food rot digested or
half digested is poison. as it creates
gas, acidity. headaches, ralpitation of
the heart, loss of flesh and appetite
and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at SO cents per package.

| Cedar Rapids, March 6.-Considera-
BILE interest is taken amcng democrats

lcrats nominate John T. Hamilton, of
this city, for governor. The idea was
first suggested by the Fort Dodge Post
and has been taken up by a number of

Hamilton once represented the Fifth

moter of any fad or ism. but is clean.

strengthen the party, and should the

the state an administration equal to
that OF Governor Boies.
That Hamilton is we'll thought Of at

torial from the Republican:
Papers in various parts of the state
Iare suggesting that John T. Hamilton,
of Cedar Rapids, will make a good DEM
|ocratic candidate for governor. A
democratic nomination in Iowa has not
|amounted to much since the days of
Horace Boies and it would not have
amounted to much then had it nit been
for the disaffection among republicans.
But without regard to the result, It
would afford all men who want to see a
respectable opposition party in this
state much pleasure to see the demo-
|cratic party nominate SO clean and so
able man as Mr.. Hamilton. Mr. Ham
|ilton has had legislative experience and
was speaker of the hose in the days
when the republican majority was not
large enough to control tbs lower house
of the legislature. The nomination of
a man like Mr.. Hamilton would lift
the Iowa campaign above the level of
the farcical. The last democratic NOM
iinee, an Ottumwa man of the most I'M
|couth language, did much to lower the
standard of Iowa politics. Mr.. Hamil-
ton would at least give an air Of re-
Ispectability to the democratic CAM
raign. Politically he is u democrat of
the old school. He has been loyal to
his party, even in some of its meander-
ings, but his business qualities are such
that he would have the respect Of the

The Gray Parrot with the red tail and
Roman nose, fell asleep Wednesday
eve, May 13. He had been sick a year
and had lost his speech and was not
enjoying life, so we ali though ii kind
to put him out of his misery by admin
iStering chloroform. With a wild fut-
ter of the wings he went out into un-
consciousness, and that interesting
identity is dissipated in ehoas.
Moses had been in some branch Of
the Burrell family ever since he was
years. He was born in Rochester, N.
Y. He was an African bird and readily
picked up a good vocabulary, and enun-
ciated words with perfect distinctnese-
Yet he talked more like aaron than
Moses He had some graces and vir-
tues, but of-setting vices. His bite
was dreadful. and his talon clutch came
near being Cen. Sherman's definition OF
war. His grey eyes had that shrewd,
canny look peculiar to elephants eyes.
No human being could be as wise as
Moses looked. The owl was the en-
blem of Minerva, goddess of wisdom,
but Moses face was far graver and
wiser than any OWLS. He really seemed
to have "a sense of humor. If the cat
stopped at his perfect call, and horse
halted at his loud, peremptory whoa
he would chuckle and laugh. and rock
back and forth from one awkward foot
to the other, holding his head high.
He liked to be out in a rain and blow
and would talk 10 to the dozen, and
shout and holler and act like a thing

OF course, one becomes attached to
any pet, but doubt if bird can inspire
such a deep, ardent sentinel as dog
or horse creates. 1t has not as good

TAX FERRET DECISION
[Tama Free Press.

Tama county will likely settle on the
so per cent. basis. The supreme court
of Iowa has decided a tax ferret case
similar to that of Tama county, and
with such decision before them it is
likely the Tama county board of SUI
pervisors will settle the case against
the county. The amount involved in
this county is about $4,000. The case.
which the supreme court decided last
week, was that of Frank Shinn. ap.
pellant, VS.. +. NJ. Cunningham. X. V.
Innes auditor William Arand, treas
urer, and Henry Broudes and others,
supervisors of Pottawattamie county,
appelles. Supreme court held that the
board of supervisors had the right TO
make a certain contract to investigate
and discover taxable property in the
county, which had been omitted from
taxation. The contract provided that
Cunningham should pay all costs and
thus assessed, and as compensation for
county in making collections of taxes
the attorneys fees incurred by the
his services was to be paid one-half of
taxes. The plaintiff. resident tax
payer brought action in equity to en-
alleging among other things that the
agreed compensation was excessive and
unreasonable: that since the making OF
said contract statute has been en-
acted limiting compensation for such
service to Is per cent OF the amount
recovered and that section 1874 OF the
code of 1897 providing for the collection
OF taxes is unconstitutional The court
points out that in a former case 1t was
held the supervisors had power to en-
ter into contract of this kind before the
enactment of the 1900 law.It is held that
the compensation cannot be presumed
by the court to be excessive, and there
is an absence of any evidence to sup
port the allegation. 1t is held the con-
tract is not champertous. The court
also holds the statute of the Twenty
eigh. general assembly limiting the
payment for the discovery of property
omitted from taxation to 10 per cent
of the taxes obtained, having become
a law after the contract in suit was en-
tered into, and the service in part per-
formed cannot affect the rights OF the
parties to this litigation.
