that open saloons would be better than
past conditions, and therefore many
who had no use for saloons signed
the petition.

WHISKY KILLED HER.
Davenport Woman Dies of Acute Al
coholism.

Special to TimeS-Republ1can.
Davenport, Jan. 10.-In the death of
Mrs. Flora Butler. which occurred
some time Wednesday night, sad
story Is revealed and a terrible moral
lesson pointed out. 1t is the story of a
young wife and mother who allowed
the craving for whisky to SO far over
come her matronly instincts that for
five weeks she remained complete
slave to the stuff, never, either in day
time or night time, being without 1t.
That she might have that for which her
appetite craved she gave up her hus-
band and allowed her three children to
suffer from want of care. Disguised
with the life she was leading herself
and her family, her husband left her
two weeks ago, only returning at occas-
ional periods to bring food and cloth
ing for herself and the children.
Wednesday evening he called and found
her in a drunken stupor. He left some
shoes for one of the children and some
food, and departed. Thursday morning
he was summoned from his work at the
Bettendorf Axle Company's plant to his
home. During the night his wife had
died.
Her death occurred on a cot in "a
room directly off that in which the chil-
dren slept. No one was with her in her

Burning of Mill at Fort Dodge Benefits
Cedar Falls.

Cedar Falls, Jan. 10.-It is an Ill wind
that blows no one good and it may have
been good fire for Cedar Falls that
destroyed the elevator of the Great
Western Cereal Company at Ft. Dodge
entailing a loss of 100000. The mill
here was shut down several days before
the fire for lack of grain TO make into
oatmeal. The oats had to be shipped
from west of Fort Dodge and the mill
there swas utilized instead. The fire
caused the closing of the mill during
the rebuilding of the elevator and may
be the means of opening the mill here
in the meantime. The closing of the
mill here threw score of men out
of employment when they We're de-
pending on the mill job for their win

WORTH KNOWING
Al This Season of tho Year.


Any cough accompanied by expec-
toration which lasts ever three or four
days requires attention and treatment;
this does not mean visit to the hos
pitai nor to your physician nor whole
sale drugging with patent medicines;
but 1t means that some simple, harm
less, effective antiseptic remedy like
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets should be
used to ward off any possible termina-
ton in pneumonia, chronic catarrh,
bronchitis or consumption.
All Of these formidable diseases start
from q common cold, neglected or al
lowed to run its course, and it is only
the exercise of common, every day
caution to cure cold as quickly as
possible, not so much for what 1T is at

VALUATION roo LOW.
Assessors of Hardin County Agreed on
SAC for Land.


$46 for Land.
Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Jan. 10.-The assessors OF
the county at their regular annual
meeting yesterday raised the valuation
on farm land 1914 per. cent. This
makes the valuation about $40 per acre
or at least ten dollars an acre too low.
The average improved farm in Hardin
county is worth sixty dollars an acre
and would sell for that readily. 1t is
probable that the state board will raise
the valuation of that figure. Under the
valuation as fixed or agreed to by the
assessors, the farmer pays taxes on u
of SAC or s11.50 per acre, while the
man with $50 in money or notes would
pay in SIS. There has always been too
great discrepancy between the val
uation on real estate and on moneys
and credits.
The assessors did not materially
change the valuation on live stock
from that of last year.

Breaking Family Ties.

There is something pathetic in the
figure of the shah of Persia just now,
a sort of wistful, lonesome, homesick
something, as that figure is presented
to the view of the. world at large.
This is due to the fact that the cable
news reports that he has just reduced
the number of his wives from LOO to
60, and all Persia is dumfounded at
what is regarded as the breaking up
of a happy family circle. Just imagine
how solitary and neglected a man must
feel who has been accustomed to the
ministrations Of LOO wives, and who
is now reduced to the desolation Of
60! It is small wonder that his people
are protesting at such a revolutionary
step. They have been accustomed to
be ruled by family men, and to the
Persian way of thinking q shah with
60 wives is much more 81. a bachelor
than benedict. a,E'ss I IS. IS.
