%~00 FOR WOMEN
WHO CANNOT BE CURED.

Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers OF
DR.. Picrce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States, for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
can not cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.
Their financial responsibility. is well
known to every newspaper publisher and
druggist in the United States. with most
of whom they have done business for over
third of a century. From this fact it will
readily BIZ seen how utterly foolish 1t would
be for them to make the above unprece-
denied and remarkable offer if they were
not basing their offer on curative means
having an unparalleled record. No other
medicine than DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription could possibly twin out" as the
saving goes. on such a proposition. But
they know whereof they speak. They have
the most remarkable record of cures made
by this world ia ned remedy ever placed to
the credit os n preparation especially
designed for the cure of wonian's peculiar
ailments. This wonderful remedy, there
fore, stands absolutely alone as the only
one possessed of such remarkable curative

Davenport, March 24.-Coroner
Lambach held the inquest over the re-
mains of the woman found dead in
Otto Assmann's shanty boat on Maple
Island.
The autopsy was held shortly be-
fore, and disclosed no trace OF poison
which might indicate suicide. But it
did reveal a terrible condition of the
internal organs. The liver was encysted
and practically solidified. One of the
kidneys had degenerated, and the other
was filled with pus, while the lungs
were in a highly c%ongested condition.
The jury in charge OF Constable Hol-
hday, and composed of j. +. Cheek,
John Hageboeck and Frank Dau. af-
ter hearing the evidence of George Cat
ting and Frank Boyle, as to the finding
of the body and of Otto Assmann, alias
Cow Boy Murphy" in whose cabin the
woman died, and knowing the facts of
the autopsy rendered the verdict as
follows:
I'VE. the jury, find that the deceased,
Myrtle McClain, came to her death from
natural causes, u to neglect, expos
ure and dissipation"
Assman. who was placed under ar
rest Sunday morning and held as a
witness, was released upon the render
ing of the verdict.

The youthful offender is usually sent
to the pe%nitentiary for a short term.
He does not attempt a great crime n
his youth is considered by the judge in
sentencing him. If he is sent to a re-

are not admitted, there is great hope for
his reformation. Put with the common

1.-THE state of Iowa ought to have such
a reformatory. 1t could have one with
little trouble by dividing the Anamosa

Why, Sheriff Bybee sal dto me the other
day: Bill, we didn't know you was
coming or we would nave sold the whole
house out at a big price And some OF
this notorietv hasn't been very desira-
bic. either. The Des Moines News has
treated me very unfairly. and attacked
me viciously.
But my principal grievance is
against the Creston papers-the papers
of my home town. They have done me
dirt all the way thru. up to a couple
of weeks or so e when my boy beat
up one of the editors of the Creston
Gazette. and Would have been mauling
him yet If they hadn't pulled him OF,
and made him quit. He could stand
it when they made their dirty attacks
on me, but they got so low they at
tackled his mother and himself and that
was too much for him and he went after
them n he pounded h fellow good
and proper. They issued a warrant for
his arrest. but it was never served;
they didn't care to have the matter to
get into court"
Mr.. Richards further confirmed the
particulars of the Omaha interview
published in the Capital a fortnight or
so ago. Discussing his Mexican visit
he added:
Il spent a very interesting time i'm
the city of Mexico. and saw a number
of people l knew and who knew me, but
none of them gave me away. l saw
George Weaver and his wife n a
number of other will known Iowa peo-
pie while l was there. l went out and
witnessed several bull fifhts and my
only regret was that the bulls didn't
kill the Spaniards instead of the Span
iards killing the bulls. l would nave
enjoyed by Mexican visit very much
had it not been for the desire to get
back and face my accusers and have my
name vindicated."
Richards intends remaining IN Des
Moines for the nex two weeks and
return to his home in Creston.
where he will stay until his case is call
ed at Knoxville in May.
