MURDER OR sulclpE2
Identity of FIoater Found Near ottum-

Special to Times Republican.
Boone. May 22.-On Monday of last
week a man fishing in the Des Moines
river, near Knoxville, discovered a
'fioater" or dead body of human be-
ingin the river. He took the body from
the water and notified The authorities.
The remains were taken to Knoxville,
and the only identification mark to be
found on the body was a pawn ticket
showing that Howard McHugh had
pawned his watch at Ottuinwa. This
fact was stated in a dispatch to the
Times Republican.
On Monday Mr.. Sanford. Kershner, OF
Hardin township, Greene county, saw
the notice In the Times Republican, and
knowing that the lson of William ]. Nc
Hugh. of section Mol, Hardin town
ship. had a son by that name who had
LETT home last fall, and was last heard
from at Ottumwa. he showed the pa
per to Mr.. McHugh. Tn. father left the
field where he was at work, and without
stopping to change his rainent drove
to Grand Junction, took the train and
went to Knoxville. He 1t once iden1i-
fed the body to be that CT his son, and
On Tuesday brought the remains home
for burial. The funera, occurred on
Tuesday.
The case Is a very sal one. Howard
was a young man between 20 or 81
years of age. the eldest son of the FAM
lily. The inquest developed no evidence
as to how he came in the river, and the
facts will probably never be known. He
had been in the water nearly three
weeks when found. There were no
marks of violence upon the body, and
there seems to be no Indication OF foul
play. Whether he became discouraged
and in moment IF melancholy
drowned himself, or fell into the water
accidentally, 1t Is impossible to say.

ness of public interest. The most
important of which being the assign

the roads and bridges, with the fol-
lowing result.
Commissioner Rseder to the west
ern portion of the county, Super
visor Shesly, the State road and the
southern part; Commissioner Fry,
was given the Fork.
It was decided not to ask for a
reduction in the tax levy, but to
allow it to remain as it was last year,
81 mills, in order to provide for the
purchase of mules, improved road
machinery and other necessary i'm.
plements with view of putting the
roads of the county in a good travel
ing condition. We are glad that the
Board has taken this step and feel
confident that if they carry out the
present plans in reference to road

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
10 digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. ;. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
