 It appears there was some secretion that had possibly been overlooked in the first operation or that formed sub sequently, which led to apprehension that a second operation for perftonitis might be necessary and hence the hur- ried summoning of the specialists from London.
 Mrs. and Miss Letter. who were stay ing at Deal also were summoned in the belief that the end was not distant. No bulletin has been issued at 6:2e o'clock. but early this morning it is understood the condition of Lady Cur zon continues grave.

STONE FOUND GUILTY
Prominent Citizen Found Guilty Of
Gross Negligence in Failing to Reg-
ister, and Judge Crane Imposes Sem
tence of Oyster Supper For His Care

His gray head bowed with the shame
he felt, and the lines of his face show
tedious hours of trial, Hon. Henry
Stone, Friday night, was found guilty
by the jury in the action brought by c..
III. Smith, representing the republican
party, against Mr.. Stone, for failure to
register. Judge William I. Crane i'm
posed a sentence of an oyster supper,
and Jointly sentenced with the pris-
oner the attorneys on both sides and
the court officers and the Jurors. The
formalities of legal proceedings were
broken down, while attorneys quarrel
ed, witnesses perjured themselves, the
Judge was biased and the jurors ex-
pressed opinions before evidence was
substituted, but 1t all served to drive
home the necessity of registering. c..
II. Smith and G. A. Mote were the
prosecutions witnesses, and G. M. Ly-
on, while up for the prosecution, ad-
mitted that he had been subpoenaed by
the defense. The prisoner appeared
on the stand in his own behalf. No
end of fun was made for the crowd.
which almost filled the room. G. A..
Mote, when asked II Stone was regis
tered, said he knew he wasn't for his
name wasn't in the herd book. Both
he and Smith, however. proclaimed the
accused guilty. The attorney for the
defense threatened to bring action to
impeach Judge Crane, and when the
prisoner was asked If he did not think
the judge was two-faced, he replied:
II don't think SO, or he would wear
the other one"
The jury returned Its verdict without
leaving the room. In sentencing the
prisoner c. Fl. Van Law, the prosecut-
ing attorney, was included for tmitat-
ing Munyon, the medicine man, in the
cut of his hair, and the jury for having
a democrat in their number. F. &C..
Northup and G. III. e. Boardman APP
peared for the defense and G. H. Van
Law and Harold Lounsberry for the
prosecution.

The right food will make q mans

experience showing how true this IS.
..For 80 years had been troubled
with my stomach so bad at times 1t
made me desperately sick. l had to
take pills and medicine all the time,
which made my stomach very weak
and headaches, and other mfser1es
made life almost uncomfortable. Three
years ago had an attack Of pain over

noultices there for two nights. Took
a lot more medicine and finally got SO

could eat 1t. but would throw it up
again in a few minutes I tried several
doctors but got worse all the time and
had to be taken home from the store
at different times. was so sick and
dizzy I could not walk q step.
81 will tell you know what it is to
have a weak stomach and the strong
medicines simply made matters worse.
81 kept on getting weak and poor all
the time, living much of the time on q
little toast and warm milk until
wasted away so that all the clerks In

everything in the way Of diet without
any success until two years ago, when
T decided to give Grape-Nuts ten days
trial.

of Grape-Nuts and cream three times
day, increasing to three teaspoonfuls,
then to four and from the very first
day I began to improve, gaining IN
weight all the time as we'll as strength.
From that time it was nothing but
progress with me for all the old
troubles disappeared. I got entirely
well and now weigh 100 pounds and
feel as well as I did thirty years
ago.

LOCAL COMMENT

Altho Marshalltown is now almost
free from any typhoid fever, an article
that appears on the editorial page of
this issue will be of interest to our cit
liens. Marshalltown has lived thru It's
epidemic Of several years ago and has
seemingly mastered the problem of
pure water. Waterloo, TT. Dodge,
Muscatine and even Cedar Rapids are
at present graphing with the prob
lem us we did a few years ago. For
these reasons the experiments of the
scientists still interest us in Marshall
town.
The interurban venture is neither
standing still nor sleeping altho 1T
is not making much noise just now.
Capitalists are very exacting about the
details of prospectus upon which
thew are asked to loan half a million
of dollars and hence much time and
care must be spent on the interurban
plans before definite results are OBJ
tanned. A bonding proposition from re-
sponsible parties is expected now
within a week or ten days which will
at least show the promoters where
they are at There is some friction and
dissention among the local members
of the company over the dismissal OF
Ferrin, to be sure, but it Is expected
that all parties will come together
amicably as soon as definite propo-
sttion is ready to be considered.
Monday night will see the close of
the campaign of 1904, which will I'M
doubtedly be commented on by histor-
ians as the quietest in history. So
confident are the American people OF
the reelection of Theodore Roosevelt,
as president of the United States, that
many have failed to take any interest
whatever in the campaign or Its is
sues. Marshalltown is not the only
Iowa city that has witnessed quiet
campaign, and Iowa Is not alone among
her sister states. The larger cities
appear to be having more trouble IN
getting out a proper registration than
the smaller ones. The city Of Omaha
had only one-third Of its votes regis
tered up to this morning, and did not
expect a very large registration TO-DAY.
Some good republicans see in the qu1e-
tude of the campaign a repetition OIL
the campaign of 1892, when there was
also lack Of enthusiasm, and repup-
licans awoke the next morning TO see
Grover Cleveland again president OF
the United States. To these repupll-
cans, however, there may be consolatloh
in the thought that never in history
has there been elected president vi
the United States against whom the
betting odds were greater than two 70
one. The wagers on Roosevelt
election this year go begging at TOUR
and six to one, and some of the more
enthusiastic are offering ten to one.
If the prohibition vote in Marshali-
town and Marshall county is 10 pe
more than double this year over Wiae
it was four years ago, according 10 the
prediction Of Warren Howard. ana Tue
registration in the city is anywhere
from 10 to 20 per cent cent belo" that
of 1900, the probabilities are tha' lns
old-line parties will not make very
good showing this year.
The voters of Marshall county VIII
have, on next Tuesday, separate
proposition for themselves, IN the
question of a tax levy, submitted oS
the board of supervisors, for the pur-
chase of an addition to the county
