GLUE COMPANY WON OUT
Got Supreme Court Decision Against
Boiler Works Incorrectly Reported

In our last weeks report of the settle
ment by the Supreme Court OF the case
of The Manitowoc Boiler Works against
the Manitowoc Glue Company we
made the mistake of reversing the de-
cisions. The story given last week was
that the Circuit Court had decided in
favor OF the Glue Company but that
the Supreme Court had reversed the de-
cision. The story should have been
that the Circuit Court. with Judge
Kirwin on the bench, decided against
the Glue Company, the Supreme Court
reversing the decision. The statement
made by the officers Of the Glue tom
pany is that they ordered from the
Manitowoc Boiler Works Company u
boiler to be so per cent larger than one
previously made for them by the Boiler
Works Bef.re the boiler was de-
livered part payment was made there
on. When it was delivered 1t was
found to be 90 pei cent smaller than
the former boiler instead OF 80 per cent
larger. The Glue Company notified
the Boiler Works Company to take it
back but the Boiler Works Company
requested them to keep it for u while
pending decision rs to what to do with
it, The Glue Company was 80 incon
venienced by the presence of the boiler
that they offered to allow the Boiler
Works Company to keep $500 Of the
amount already paid on it il they would
only remove it. 1t was during this in
terim that the Boiler Works Company
instituted suit for the recovery Of the
balance Of the purchase price.

In the light of that star
Lie the ages impearled;
And that song from afar
Has swept over the world.
Every hearth is aflame,
And the Beautiful sing,
In the homes of the nations,
That Jesus is King.
We rejoice in the light,
And we echo the song
That comes down through the
night
From the heavenly throng.
Ay, we shout to the lovely
Evangel they bring,
And we greet in his cradle
Our Saviour and King!

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

Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are 20 common and
In most cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming TO be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestion. Many such pride themselves
on their acuteness in never bsing hum

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 a preparation so 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 medi-
cines for the reason that they are not

made of their ingredients, but an analy-
sis shows them to contain the natural

secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure Indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely on the

really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken

June 1, 1902 and entered the employ of
Hills & Leavens, as night clerk at the
Pilgrim. He remained thru the earlier
portion of the succeeding c. II. Wagner
administration, and then went to Cedar
Ra pids, where he took the night clerk
ship of the Delevan. He was married
to Mrs Clara Swift Thompson in this
city on Oct. q, 1902.
The one bad feature, as far as Cooks
second marriage was concerned. lies
in the fact that he swore to the state
ment that he was a single man, and
the marriage record shows 1T to have
been his first marriage. The fact that
he claims to have supposed that his
first wife had secured a divorce does
not lesson the crime, altho it may ap-
peal strongly to the court.

HAS NARROW ESCAPE
e. M. Martin, of Keystone, Falls Into
Iowa Central Turn Table Pit and Is
Nearly Ground to Death by Revolv-
ing Eneine-Had Walked Into the Pit
and Had Not Been Discovered When
Engine Was Turned.

Z. NJ Martin, a harness maker, of
keystone, while in this city between
trains Sunday night, wandered into the
Iowa Central yards and fell into the
turn table pit, near the round house,
sustaining severe injuries about the
head, which rendered him unconscious.
While lying in this condition employees
of the round house placed on the table
one of the large engines, for the pur-
pose of turning it, and caught the mans
body between the masonry of the pit
and the fAllne of the table. The pain
aroused the man to consciousness and
his screams made the workers aware of
his presence. He escaped with broken
left collar bone and bruises about the
body.
Martin was on his way to Nevada,
where he had secured a position with
David Prier. He claims to have become
at the union station, and
wandered across the yard until he fell
into the turn table pit. He claims to
have been sober, but HE had been drink
ing, as his breath was badly tainted
with the fumes of liquor. He was
brought up town and placed in the
county hospital, where he received
medical attention. The only wonder is
he was not killed outright by the turn
table passing over his body. for, besides
its own weight, it bore that of the big
locomotive. His injuries, it is thought,
will not prove fatal.

her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Swift, of

Cries ike BABE
Cook was seen in Jail shortly after his
arrest and cried like babe when asked
about his trouble. He expressed the
greatest regret for his bride of only a
few months, and said that the scheme
OF the wife No. was nothing more or
less than one of blackrlail. He said he
had married her at Sioux City while he
was in the employ of the Niagara res
taurant as cashier, three years ago the
coming May. He wasn't then of age,
and like many boys committed a foolish
act. His first wises maiden name, he
said, was Gotham, and her people were

KNIGHTS PREPARING FOR
THEIR COMING CONCLAVE
Big Representation From the New
England States Will Be Included
III Westward Pilgrimage.

George F. Detrick, general manager
of the Santa Fe Company's excursion
department. returned yesterday from
the East, where he spent several weeks
studying the prospects for westward
traffic for the coming year. The greater
part of his time was spent in the New
England States, from which he says an
exceptionally large representation will
be sent TO the coming conclave of
knights Templar in this city.
Il was surprised. said Detrick yes
terday afternoon, "at the large number
of persons who have already arranged
to attend the conclave from that sec
ton of the country. The Knights of
the New England States have already
contracted for twenty special trains,
which alone means 5000 persons, and
fully that number will travel to Cali
fornia by the regular trains. In the
East it Is estimated that there will be
at least 10000 knights Templar in the
big parade in. this city. According to
the calculations on the eastern side of
the country the conclave will bring to
San Francisco one of the largest gath
erings OF representative people that the
city has ever entertained. They all
want the best kind of accommodations
and are making their arrangements fol-
the same far in advance of their COM
ing"
