Later information in regard to the
killing of Reaves would seem to lndi-
cate that the motive for the murder
was probably robbery. 1t is now said
that Mrs. Reaves says that he husband
had pocket book. which he always
carried. but she does not know how
much money he had in 1t the night
he was killed. When Reaves' body was
found Wednesday morning there was no
pocket book on his person and one
nocket was turned wrong side out,
The four silver dollars found on him
are said to have been in the pocket on
which he was lying and it is supposed
that when the murderer secured the
pocket book he thought he had it all or
did not take time to look in the other
pocket.

FUR FENCE At DIES MONIES.
Officers Of Other Towns Believe Stolen
Goods Go There.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 1.-THE existence
in Des Moines of a well organized
fence" for fur goods and valuable rugs
and tapestries is believed by the police
outside of the city, and Is receiving
some attention from the local police de-
partment. The many robber1es thru
out the state which resulted In the theft
Of furs and goods OF that character
have all left traces which point to-
ward Des Moines as the final destina-
ton of the booty.
Only Saturday night at Burlington
the Beckman fur house was robbed
of $1,000 worth Of valuable furs by
thieves unknown to the police Of that
city. Clues followed up indicate that
the furs were taken to some point fur
Their west, probably Des Moines. Not
long since the Denecke & Vetter dry
goods house at Cedar Rapids was
robbed of nearly $1,000 worth Of ex-
pensive furs which were shipped in the
direction Of Des Moines.
Fur fences have been unearthed In
Omaha and in Minneapolis, and the
seat Of operations of these people who
have maintained the unlawful dis
tributing house may have been moved
to Des Moines for future deliveries
in the traffic. The local police have
no clue to the matter.
An investigation of local conditions
shows that there is no such place in
Des Moines which is existing under
legal frontage yet 1t is thought that a
fence might be operated without much
of an outside display. The belief is
tina further investigation will result in
startling disclosures.

ON THE SAFETY OF OVER EATING
Tho Rule Of Choosing the Lesser Of
Two Evils Applies to the Way You

Tho Rule of Choosing the Lesser Of
Two Evils Applies to the Way You
Eat.
want to know how man is to know
when he has had enough?
The Pilgrim Fathers, | believe, had
q quaint saying to the effect that you
should always rise from the table feel-
ing az II you could eat some more.
But the question is, how much more!
Just when to stop?
That's the point.
The rule Is wrong, because lts no
rule at all.
It is inexact and unscientific.
It is likely to lead to the dangerous
habit of eating too little.
And eating too little,--or digestins
too little, which amounts to the Same
thing-is the cause of nine-tenths OIL
the diseases from which humanity SUI
fsrs today.
What is disease?
It is simply uneven balance between
waste and repair
Some organ lacks strength to carry
on the special work for which 1t was
created.
Where shall it find the strength it
lacks?
In drugs?
Ten thousand times. NO!
Better die than become hopeless
drug hend.
No; In food.
But" you say, IT eat q plenty Of
good food every day!"
True, dear friend, but you don't di-
gest 1t.
And, food, undigested. is mere poi
son.
So. to make food do you good, you
must take Stuart's Dyspepsia, Tab
lets,
The great thing about Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets is. that their action does
not depend up stimulative druggery.
They cannot create a habit.
They contain no ingredients to pick
you up" tone UP your nervous sys-
tenn" or furnish whip energy, by calling
out your vital reserve force.
They create new strength, force and
onergy--out Of your Food.
II taken starving, they will do you
no good at all.
So. eat to live, and live to eat, with
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
The curse Of our present civilization
Is exhaustion.
And exhaustion. whether OF brain.
nerves, physical strength or vital force,
IS caused by starvation.
OF two evils, 1t is better to overeat
(and prevent indigestion with Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets), than to rise from
the table not having eaten enough to
repair the exhaustion of your vital
forces.
For exhaustion or starvation leads
to the most varied forms Of sickness
or disease, brought on by inability OF
the weakened vitality to counteract the
misconceptions and microbes.
Whereas the we'll fed and we'll nour-
lshed person. without ever feeling the
worse for it, can expose himself to
dangers, the mere thought, Of which
would drive the weak, starving dys-
peptic into q panic fit.
Good food, we'll digested, is the great
secret OF q healthy existence here on
earth.
So eat heartily every day Of the
best food you can get, and regulate the
workings OF your digestive machinery
with Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
81 AS result, you will be astonished
70 find how much stronger and livelier;l
YOU feel, how much more and better
work you oan do, how much more
pleasure you will get out of life and
how your old enemy, that chronic trou-
Bile. which has fastened upon your
weak spot, wherever it is, will Zip and
away, and ever after leave you in peace
health and comfort.
There's more truth than poetry In
.all this.
Try it once.
