The following public statement OF a

This too prevalent kidney complaint
seems to be one of the ills to which
nearly all our sex is heir, but the fact
that Doan's Kidney Pills are sure

The Voice Of the Turtle Dove.

The Voice Of the Turtle Dove.
One Of the most complete misappre-
tensions with regard to the voices Of
birddom occurs when we listen to the
monosyllabic eco Of the restful turtle
dove. BY no means musical sound
in itself, yet It is so bound up in our
minds with the sleepy glamour Of sum-
mer afternoons that we imagine the
sitting dove as grooming to herself from
sheer contentment with her lot. Very
different Is the reality. That drowsy
monosyfiable is the voice Of the male
dove, not of the hen upon the nest, and
while he utters 1t his antics are ludi-
crous to observe. Usually he is giving
peremptory orders to his wife to get of
the nest, in order that he may take
her place, and If she hesitates to obey
he enforces his commands with sharp
pecks upon the head. At other times
he seems merely to order her of the
nest for the pleasure Of witnessing her
devotion to his person, after which he
will suddenly become distracted In
manner and presently go of to the
feeding place.-London Graphic.

rhe rxrant Prima Donna

It is the rarest thing to find that any
famous prima donna ever created" a
new role Of any artistic importance or
associated herself with the interpreta-
ton Of the music Of any young COM
poser, no matter how gifted. Her
choice Of songs in the concert room al
ternates between hackneyed favorttes
and absolutely worthless novelties.
Alone among the great executants. the
prima donna has been conspicuous for
her abstinence from any eTorB to
achieve distinction as composer.
Handel had q short way with the
prima donna, and threatened to throw
her out Of the window II she would
not sing what he had written for her.
Wagner went further, and refused to
write for the prima donna at all. And
Verdi, in "FalstaT," did throw her out
of the window and gave the leading
part to baritone. To the music lover

very expensive considerations OF a

Nevada Druggist Sued by Story
City Woman Will Fight

ANOTHER CASE NOW ON TRIAL
Mrs. Martha Mature Claims Large
Sums For Damages Received Thru
Defendants Having Helped Trans
form Her Husband Into An HabituaI
Drunkard BY Selling Him Liquor.
Special to Times Republican.


Nevada. Sept. "a damage case
which has c'cated q great deal of inter-
est and taken up considerable time in
the present term of court was the one
brought by Mrs. Martha Mature of
Story City against w. A. Devendorff, a
druggist of that city, claiming $4,000
for damages received thru the fact of
the defendant having supplied her hus-
band with liquor during the past two
years to the extent that he has become
an habitual drunkard, has lost his posi-
ton from that cause and has failed
to supply herself and children with the
necessities of life part OF the time to
the extent that they were in want. The
case was bitterly fought and after being
on trial four days, the last Of which
was devoted to the pleas Of the lawyers.
the jury brought in 81 verdict for the
plaintiff for $1,000.
1t appears that Mature was at one
time young fellow of considerable
means and was a hard worker but he
has been drinking very hard for the
last half dozen years until he has be-
came habitual drunkard as the wife
alleges. That he has bought liquor of
other drug stores as well as bootleggers
galore, appeared In evidence, however.
Mrs. Mature has also brought action
against the Story City Drug Company
for the same amount Of damages for
the same cause and this case is now on
trial.
Mr.. Devendorff's lawyers, Addison
and Dyer, have filed notice Of appeal
in their case. G. G. Lee of Ames and
A. l.. Bartlett of Story City were at
torneys for plaintiff. This is the second
large verdict these two lawyers have
gained in the district court within the
past year The first one being when
they sued Peter Dickoph, wealthy La
fayette farmer for $4,000 al!mony and
an annulment Of marriage for his wife
and received $500.

Some time ago Mayor Mattern is
sued an order that all signs and all
articles so placed as to obstruct the
view Of bars from the streets should
be removed. Some Of the saloon men
complied With the request forthwith
Others took it that their signs do not
come under the ban. The police are
now notifying such of these as they
believe have street objections to the
view about their premises to remove
them. The list includes a large num-
Der of saloon men and applies prin-

Special to Times-tccpublican.
Sioux City Sept. 9.--Caugbt by a

The new Floyd channel, the bloated and
tiecomposed body Of an unknown man
about so years of age, was discovered
An the Missouri river yesterday morning
at 81 o'clock by Peter Tiedeman, a fish
erman.
The body floated face down and had
evidently risen to the top of the water
S.v.thin the past twenty -four hours. 1t
has probably been in the water two
weeks. The police were notified; and
The remains removed by Officer Jack
Newell to Wescotts morgue, where an
effort will be made to establish identl-
f,cation.
A search of the pockets revealed no
letters or papers. A half filled bottle
of white liquid, bearing the label of the
Oscar Ruff drug store, an empty vial,
os cents in cash, q comb and pocket
knife were the contents of the pockets.
At the morgueSst was discovered that

possible to determine whether the man
had been slugged before being thrown
into the water. A black 3bruise over
the right eye and extending toward
the ear may indicate that he received
a blow.
The corpse was dressed in a dark
coat and vest, gray corduroy trousers
new pair of shoes, negligee shirt with
Z detachable collar.
The body is that of man about 5
feet inches tall. heavy build gray
hair and full beard and apparently be-
tween SO and so years of age.
Coroner Robbins has not determined
whether an inquest will be held. The
police will investigate further. The
body will be kept only a short time on
