P. A. CLEMMER SUCCESSFUL.
Induced DR.. Howard Company to Make
SpeciaI Price.

After great deal of effort and cor
respondence P. A. Clemmer, the popu-
lar druggists, has succeeded in getting
the DR.. Howard Co. to make a special
half price Introductory offer on the
regular fifty cent size of their cele-
brated specific for the cure Of consti-
patton and dyspepsia.
DR.. Howard'S specific has been so
remarkably successful in curing con-
stipation, dyspepsia and liver troub-
les, that P. A. Clemmer is willing to
return the price paid in every case
where 1T does not give relief.
The old-fashloned idea of dosing
with mineral waters, cathartic pills
or harch purgatives will soon be a
thing of the past. The best physic-
ians are prescribing DR.. Howard s
specific because it really gives the de-
sired results and on account Of the
small and pleasant dose that is needed.
So great is the demand for this spe-
citic, that p. A. Clemmer has been
able to secure only limited supply,
and every one who is troubled with
dyspepsia, constipation or liver troub-
le should call upon him at once, or
send 25 cents, and get sixty doses of
the best medicine ever made, on this
special half price offer, with his per-
sopal guarantee to refund the money
II 1T does not cure.

HERE AT HOME.
cresco Citizen Gladly Testify.

1t Is testimony like the following
that has placed "the Old Quaker Rem
edy" so far above competitors. When
people right here at home raise their
voice IN praise there is no room left
for doubt. Read the public statement
of a Cresco citizen;
John E. Peck, produce dealer of
Peck ST., says: II am more than satis-
fed with the results obtained from the
use of Doan's Kidney Pills and recon-
mend them as a preparation of more
than ordinary merit. For some years
[ had attacks of kidney complaint de-
spite the fact that used remedy after
remedy. When in the acute stage
sometimes the pain across my back
was almost uncomfortable, rendering it
impossible to lift anything or to stoop
without suffering excruciating agony.
Even when the severe pain was not in
evidence q lameness and soreness
across the small of my back was often
pronounced every evening and accom-
panying the backache trouble with
the kidney secretions existed. Read
ing about Doan's Kidney Pills induced
me to go to THE Shuttleworth Drug
Co.'S store for box. Gradually they
lessened the pain attending that attack
until it disappeared. This prepara-
ton acts directly upon the kidneys.
You can tell that from the change In
the condition of the kidneys secretions
When they become normal the back
ache ceases"

CREsCO HOWARD COUNTY, IOWA, FRIDAY APRIL TO- 1903.

The City Council at their meeting
last Monday night organized, and as
Mayor-elect Burgess refused to quail
fy, a special election to fill the vacan-
cy was ordered. Other business Of in
terest transacted was the election of a
street commissioner and marshal for
the time until new mayor can be
elected. Frank Hall was elected street
commissioner and ALI Mile, marshal.
We do not understand the action of
council in this latter selection.
Among the applicants were three or
four men, each one of them morally
and physically qualified and all of
them either men of family or tax
payers or both in the city, while Mil
ler is a man of no family, not a tax
payer and simply a 'foater" among
acquaintances in the county, he is a
resident most of the time outside the
city.
"a Fighting Chance" is the story
of young Northern girl, Elanore
Hamilton, who has been placed in a
Southern Boarding School by her
father who is in the Southern army.
Elanore's only brother who died but a
short time before the story opens was
an officer in the Union army, and his
chief friend is the lover of Miss
Hamilton, who helps him to escape
through the Southern lines to his own
side. 1t is on this account that she is
placed in this Southern School and
closely watched. Notwithstanding
this she manages to see her lover often
and plans an escape with him which
is effected during the Madame's tenn
porary absence from the school. They
lose their way and are forced to come
back to the school for aid and there
find every thing in turmoil occasioned
by their flight, the arrival of Elanores S
father with detachment of soldiers,
etc. Elanore implores the Madame's
aid which she finally gives, thus help
ing in their escape, and at the same
time declaring for the North.

RESULT OF POLICE HEARINGS
Recommendations Made by Major Syl.
vester in Two Cases.

VeSter In Two Gases.
The trial papers in the case of Private
w. E. Ogle of the police force. charged
with conduct unbecoming an officer and
violation Of the police manual. have
reached the Commissioners The finding of
the trial board was not guilty. Major Syl-
vester states in connection with the mat
ter: 1.-The officer was endeavoring to do
his duty and was interfered with 1t was
his duty to maintain the arrest which had
been made. 1t was the duty of the pris-
oner whether guilty of the charge or not.
when the officer gave him the alternative
of leaving the place or Of going to the sta
ton to have done one thing or the other,
but he demonstrated with the officer to the
extent that he opposed arrest and did 1t in
a violent manner, which caused the confu-
sion that followed, when 1t became neceS-
sary for the officer to maintain his arrest
at some risk. When he drew his revolver
as a matter of intimidation he violated the
rules and orders of the department as laid
down for his government, and that the
officer may be reminded in the future to
be more cautious 1 recommend that he be
deprived of two days leave OF absence 10
which he would otherwise be entitled"
This the Commissioners have approved.
Private J. w. Garnett has been found
guilty Of neglect Of duty. Major Sylvester
has recommended that he be fined $40 in
lieu of removal. Private Garrett has been
on the force about three years." says Major
Sylvester, during which time he has been
fined twice and warned l concur in the
finding of the trial board. which was re-
moval. I ask mercy for the officer at the
hands of the Commissioners, that he be
given one more trial, and If found guilty
of neglect of duty in the future he will be
removed from the force"

vited guest steps on the train at the 9Th

pany plays the host is absolutely perfect,
nothing could be wanting. The guests are
