FOUL PLAY FEARED
Coroner's Witness Expresses Be-
lief That Peter Garrity
Was Dragged.
KNOWN AS A TEMPERATE MAN
Attempt May Have Been Made to
Secure Large Roll He
Was Carrying.

The jury impaneled by Coroner
Eckhart yesterday afternoon met
at the office of Justice II. NJ.
Schriver and completed the inquests
of Peter Clarity. who was killed
Thursday evening in a runaway acct
dent. and j. Herman Johnson, who
was killed in the Rock Island yards.
In the latter ease no new evidence
was adduced to throw any further
light upon the manner in which the
accident took place, and a verdict
was returned that the deceased came
to his death by being run over by Il
train in the Rock Island yards.
In the other case the evidence of
Adam McBurney. If Bowling, threw
some light upon the condition of the
unfortunate man before he started
homeward and gives Il foundation for
a theory of foul play. Mr.. McBurney
was with Mr.. Clarity on Market
square just before o'clock on the
fatal evening. and the former testi-
fled that the latter was acting
strangely at that time. He did not
act as man intoxicated by alcoholic
spirits, but rather as though he had
been drugged. so Mr.. McBurney AYERS.
He was nervous and irrational.
Had Been in Davenport.
During the afternoon he had been
in Davenport on Il horse deal, ana as
lie bad considerable money on his
person Mr.. McBurney is inclined to
think that he was given some sort of
drug with the object of placing him
in a stupor 80 that he might fall ap
easy victim to a robbery. The wit
ness and others with whom he had
conversation just before he started
home endeavored to disSuade him
from going at once. but he insisted
and was allowed to depart.
Mr.. Clarity was a man who drank
very little and even his closest friends
had seldom. if ever. seen him under
the influence OF liquor. Therefore
there seems to he reasonable ground
for the belief that an unsuccessful at
tempt was made to secure his money
through the use Of some stupefying
drug. The jury found that he came
to his death from injuries received in
d runaway accident.
An inquest was held yesterday af-
ternoOn over the remains of Fred TIT.
the aged man who dropped dead on
the streets of East Moline yesterday
morning. and the verdict was that
death was due to heart disease.

The Average Marshalltown Citizen
Must Accept the Following Proof.
The great Sir Isaac Newton, one OF
ne most profound the world
ever produced, once cut a large hole
IA q board fence to allow q favorite
cat access to two gardens and cut q
smaller hole to allow her kitten to fol-
low her. The weakness manifested In
Sir Isaac's action was due to want
Of thought. Any reader who mentally
debates the proof offered here about
poan's Kidney Pills and arrives at any
other conclusion than that stated In
this citizens statement Is as short OF
reasoning powers as the philosopher
when he turned carpenter.
Mrs. A. s.. Reisinger, OF 712 West Me-
vada. street, says. The uses OF Doan's
Kidney Pills demonstrates beyond q
doubt that there is no question as to
their value. Procuring a box at the Nc
Bride & Willis drug store for my own
use I was compelled to defer the treat
ment owing to other complications Of q
serious nature ensuing. Just about then
one Of my family was taken with pains
IN the back, and knowing that q weak
ened liver or o~ver-excited condition Of
the kidneys existed / advised the use Of
Doan's Kidney Pills. The result obs
f4ained gives me great faith In this rem-
eddy. 1t acts promptly and thoroughly.

MARRIED SIXTY NINE YEARS.
A Remarkable Event in a Remarkable
Family at New Sharon.

A Remarkable Event in a Remarkable
Family at New Sharon.
Special to Times Republican.
New Sharon, Jan. 23.-Silver we'd
dings often occur. golden weddings at
tract considerable attention, but it is
not often that an event is chronicled
such as occurred las. Friday, Jan. 16,
when Mr.. and Mrs. Jehu Rhodes, OF
New Sharon, celebrated the sixty-ninth
anniversary OF their wedding day. An
other thing that is brought to mind in
this connection is the wonderful health
and longevity of this family. We think
we shall wait some time to hear OF an
other family Of ten persons whose COM
bined ages will amount to- 649 years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rhodes are the parents Of
eight children. all OF whom are alive
and we'll today. The combined age of
the children is 473 years, or an average
age of over So years. Mr.. Rhodes was
born in Columbiana county. Ohio, In
1914. and Mrs. Rhodes was born in
Randolph county, Virginia, in 1916.
They were united in marriage in 1884.
Mr.. Rhodes served during the civil war
and was honorably discharged at st.
Louis in 1863. Both have been mem
bers Of the Christian church since child
hood, Altho Mrs. Rhodes is quite fse-
BILE, Mr.. Rhodes still continues as active
as II would expect II he were a score
of years younger.

night and Sunday seem to be the heavi
eSt times for drink. Two young boys
have formed a sort of co-partnership
and look after the bottles within a GER
tain limit of the city. Monday was their
day for gathering in the products OF
Saturday night and Sunday and they
succeeded in picking up ESQ pint and
half-pint bottles. Eighty of these bot
ties, when filled, sold for 81 a bottle, in
dicatfng an expenditure for this par
ticular brand of $50. Some of the other
bottles were of the higher grades and
required quite a lavish expenditure. or
course this all occurred within a GER
tain district, but in places, in dark
alleys, under area ways and IN ola
buildings. OF course a great many bot
ties are broken. From this no estimate
can be formed that would be accurate
at all. 1t certainly leads to a conclu-
sion that in the best temperance cities
1t is difficult indeed TO control the traf-
fic. 1t might be safe to say that in a
city of 10000 population, such as this
city, that on this particular Sunday and
Saturday night at least $500 u have
been invested in different grades of
liquor. 1t is a condition that causes
people to think and wonder If the most
successful way of reducing the sale OF
liquor has been reached.

Was Conspicuous.

Was Conspicuous.
Special to Times-Repubfican.
Waterloo. Jan. 23.-The grand jury
after a ten days session returned seven
indictments and in the two most i'm
portant cases failed to indict. One
where attempted murder was charged
and one where the theft OF $165 in cash
was the charge.
Miss Mary Cummings vas not in
dicted altho sire had planted a bullet in
the breast Of one Of her b%oarders, Fred
Wheeler by nnme. At the time he vas
not expected TO o but he did and
made the request that the "a be
dropped. He did not testify before the
grand jury and therefore the chain of
evidence was broken. She claimed at
the time that: she shot to defend her
honor.
Miss Lizzie Young who was employed
as q laundress at the Irving hotel and
was accused of stealing $165 from one
OF the employees which she admitted.
The evidence was to the effect that she
had been Influenced by a woman of
Hampton. a former associate who
seemed to hold a hypnotic power over
her. The grand jury refused to indict.
The money was recovered.
Judge Platt had asked the grand jury
to make an Investigation Of the report
ed combination of insurance men to
hold up a uniform rate on new business
written. The jury did not report and
made no reference to the matter. 1t is
understood an investigation will be
completed before the March meeting Of
the grand jury.

THEORIES AHouT FOOD.

Also a Few Facts on the Same Subject.
We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygdenic living. about
yegetarianism and many other fads
along the same line.
Restaurants may be found IN the
larger cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank IS
In his glory, and arguments and the
cries galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomach. and almost make us believe
that our sturdy ancestors who lived
four score wears in robust health on
roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant OF the laws OF
health.
Our f~orefathers had other thingsato
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon TO
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow in mat
tiers of diet. and a mixed diet of grains,
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
best.
AS compared with grains and yege-
tables, meat furnishes the most nutr1-
ment in a highly concentrated form and
IL iigested and is assimilated more
quickly than vegetables and grains.
DR.. Julius Remmson on this subject
says: NERVOUS persons, people run
down In health and of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty Of 1t. II the
digestion is too feeble at first it may be
easily corrected by the regular use Of
Etuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after eacn
meal. Two of these excellent tablets
taken after dinner will digest several
thousand grains OF meat, eggs or other
animal food IN three hours, and no mat
ter how weak the stomach may be, no
trouble will he experienced If a regular
practice is made Of using Stuart's Dys-l
.spepsia Tablets because they, supply the
Spepsin and diastase necessary to per-
feet digestion, and every form of indi-
9estionf win be overcome by their use.
& That large class Of people who come
under the head Of d~yspeptcs
should eat plenty of meat and insure.fts
proper digestion by the daily use OF =
safe. harmless digestive medicine like
rStuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed: OF
f&he natural digestive principles, pepsth,
~.sdiastase, fruit acids n salts,f which
actually perform the work OF digestion.
Cheap ~cathartic medicines. MASQUERADE
Ing under the name OF dyspepsia cures
are useless for indigestion as they have
absolutely no effect upon the actual di-,
gestion OF food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms Is
simply a failure Of the stomach 10 di-
9est food and the sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the dyspepsia Is to
make daily use at meal time Of a pre-
paration like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, which is endorsed by the medical
profession and known to contain active
digestive principles.

|Specfal TO T1meS-FtepupIIcaH.
Bagley, Jan. 23.-About 1880 Wednes-
day night as F. w. Sprague was going
home from mis- days work, upon en-
tering his home he discovered some
thing burning, and upon investigation
found a closet off from the parlor full
of burning clothes. He at once took the
burning clothing out and using two or
three buckets OF water extinguished the
flames. A half hour longer they would
have lost their home as the stairway is
above the closet and had he fire caugh,
in the stairway nothing would have
saved their home. Their only loss will
be Mrs. Sprague's entire wardrobe, and
part OF Mr.. Sprague's. The damage
will probably amount to 5000.
