Pneumonia in CHICAGO.

Over 5000 people died of pneumonia
in Chicago last year. In every case
the disease resulted from cold. Had
the cold been promptly and properly
treated at the outset almost everyone
would have recovered. This statement
is abundantly proven by the fact that
among the tens of thousands through
out this country who use Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy to cure their
colds, no case of pneumonia has ever
been reported, which shows conclu-
sively that this remedy is a certain
preventive of pneumonia. Chamber
lains Cough Remedy has gained its
wide reputation and enormous sale by
the prompt and effectual cures Of
colds and can always be depended
upon. For sale by all druggists.

WANTS NEW COURT

JUDICIAL DISTRICT.

[BY H. j. MAHIN.1
Washington Bureau Of the Courier.

Washington, D. G., Feb. 20.
1t seems that Davenport has under
taken a rather difficult operation in
setting out to secure the establishment
of a federal court within her city linn
its. The Iowa senators and several of
the congressman have received petit
tions and letters this week asking
them to assist the lawyers of the city
of Davenport to bring this about it
possible.
Although many cities in Iowa have
thought they would like federal
court Dayenport's request in some
ways. is so different from any that
have been made lately in that the law
yers Of that city think that there is
reason for the establishment of a new
division In the state of Iowa and the
creation of a new court.
: There are now fourefed erab court. di-
visions in the southern half OF the
.state.c7 The western with the court at
Council Bluffs. the eastern with the
court at Keokuk, the central with the
court at Des Moines and the southern
with the court at Creston. To secure
the establishment of a new division a
bill will have, to be introduced in con
gress which must pass both the house
and the senate and be signed by the
President. When the bill is introduced
it will be referred to the judiciary COM
mittee and it is stated that the first
thing this committee will request will
be specific and convincing statements
as to the need of the establishment OF
a new division in Iowa.
Nearly all of the delegation are
ready and willing to do what they can
to help Davenport in the accomplish
ment of her desires and some of them
think that there is need and good
ground for the. creation of new dis
trict The general opinion seems to be
however that in order to have any
chance Of success in getting the meas
ure through congress an exceedingly
strong case must be prepared before
the bill is introduced One thing that
is declared to be absolutely necessary
is an expression of favorable senti-
ment from the members OF. the bar of
surrounding counties which might be
possible candidates for incorporation
in the new division. All of the details
as to the time of holding the meetings
of the court. etc., would have to be
figured out and decided upon and con-
tanned in the act before it was sub
mitted to the Judiciary committee.

Bloomfield.

Bloomfield, Feb. 20 A young man
by the name of r. 3. Fisher, accom-
panied by young woman named
Mable Hall, both of Clarence, Mo-, ap-
peared at the Office of the clerk of the
district court Friday morning and
asked for a license to get married.
County Auditor P. P. Jarvis had preyi-
ously received a telegram from the
sheriff of Macon to arrest the parties
and wire him. Mr.. Jarvis handed the
telegram to the clerk and when the
young people called at the clerks Of
flee they were shown the telegram.
Both parties declared themselves to
be of lawful age, to get married, and
that there was no legal reason why
they should not marry. They stated,
however, that the young 1ady's parents
objected to the match, and they had
decided to take matters in their own
hands and come to Iowa and get mar
ried. The young woman stated that
she had no intention of returning
home in view of the fact that she was
of age. 1t is understood that the
young people are cousins. Mr.. Fisher
gave his age as % and Miss Hall stat
ed that she is 21. The clerk, however.
refused to grant them the license and
up to a late hour yesterday evening,
they had not secured the coveted pa
per. They registered at the Sax no.
tel.

highly respected young people Of

STATE CONVENTION
IOWA TO HAVE FIRST STATE
il, MEETING OF METHODIST
MISSIONARY SOCIETIES.
Convention in Capital City viii Con.
tinue For Three Days Prominent
] Men Present - A Missionary School
-Dr. Craig to Speak.

THE Outlook for Home Missions"
will be the subject of paper to be
read by DR.. A. b, Craig, pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church of
Ottumwa, at the state missionary con.
vention of the Methodist Episcopal
church which is to be held in Des
Moines Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, February 23-24-25. This will
be the first state convention of mis-
stonary societies of the Methodist
Episcopal church in the United States
and it is expected that there will be
at least 1000 delegates present.
Three great typical missionary con-
ventions in this country led up to this
gathering. The first was held in
Cleveland, Ohio, eighteen months ago
Tor the entire country. Last October
sectional conference including the
eastern states was held in Philadel-
phia, Pa, and later conference con-
vention was called, at Buffalo, N. Y.
All OF these proved to include too great
. territory to meet the urgent demands
in missionary work The training of
workers in this country how best to
assist in the field at home and abroad.
So the state convention plan was
lighted upon and Iowa has the distinc.
tion of entertaining the first gathering
OF the kind. This meeting will be fol
lowed by an Illinois state convention
at Bloomington.
Foreign Missionaries Come.
At the convention here the general
needs Of the missionary work will be
outlined by prominent American speak
ers and then the immediate needs in
various countries will be explained by
foreign missionaries themselves. Here
In Des Moines will assemble for the
occasion workers from Japan, Corea,
China, Middle Asia, India, South Amer
lea, Africa and Europe.
: One of the most interesting features
Of the convention will be the exhibi-
,,tion of curios gathered from all the
missionary fields of the Methodist
Episcopal church for a display at the
quadrennial conference to be held in
Los Angeles, California, in May. ]. R.
Denyes, formerly of Evanston, Illinois,
and now missionary to Singapore, Ma
laysia, has been carrying on this work
and was induced to bring the exhibit
here. OF first interest in this collec-
ton are the idols and religious writ
ings Of the various foreign nations
where Christianity is trying to make
an Invasion. Profusely illustrated by
photographs every display furnishes a
birds eye view of 1.-the country and its.
life religiously, socially and indus
trially. The weapons of warfare used
by these various people alone furnish
considerable entertainment
Twenty experienced field workers
will be In charge Of this grand display
which is to be spread in the Sunday
school rooms of the First Methodist
church in Des Moines BY
those who have seen the ac-
emulation of curios it is claimed
1t is the greatest assemblage Of inter-
esting articles from oriental countries
ever brought into one room.
Three Bishops Come.
The gatherings will be held at the
First church in Des Moines and
will be conducted under the
auspices of Bishops Fowler, NAL

the second Tuesday in March and the
third in September.
Eastern-Counties of Davis, Des
Moines, Henry, Jefferson, Keokuk, Lee,

Central-Counties of Boone, Dallas,

Southern-Counties of Adair, Adams,
Appanoose, Clarke, Decatur, Fremont,
Lucas, Page, Ringgold, Taylor, Union,
and Wayne. The court meets at Cres-
ton the fourth Tuesday In March and
the third. Tuesday in October.
Those who are not enthusiastic
over Davenport's chances to secure the
establishment of new division, give
as a reason their opinion that the city
is not we'll located The need Of a
Federal court would of course depend
largely on its location, and it's conven-
ience to the greatest number Of people.
AS Davenport Is on the very edge OF
the state. and SO situated in a bend Of
the river as to put it actually at the
farthest point OF. the states boundary,
it is claimed that the city might have
a hard time showing up sufficiently
large territory to which It would be the
most convenient point.
On the other hand those who ia
vor the idea claim that Davenport has
on it's three Sides within the state a
region which is of the most thicllly
settled part of Iowa, and can, by a little
figuring, show the need of a court es'
tablished within It's limits. AS city
not one feature can be urged against
Davenport, and it Is admitted that II
would be in that respect an ideal loca
ton for federal COURT. 1t is stated
that the counties Of 'Muscatine, Louise
and Washington woufd be very likely
to favor the establishment of court
in Davenport, but 1t is not known thai
any Of the other counties now in the
eastern division would be strong fol
the change. There are several coun
ties belonging to the northern division
of the state that might consider Dav
export a most favorable location, bu
that, of course, involves other ques
tions. The counties that might be
named as possible candidates for the
new division are Cedar, Johnson, Iowa
Benton, Linn, Jones, Jackson and Clin
ton. This, however, as yet seems tt
be all guess work. and it is stated thai
the judiciary committee will require
most specific evidence of the fact ,tha
sufficient number of counties are de
sirous of the change to make it sue
cessful.

While Officers Beach and knight were
patrolling their beat on north Lee street
late last night they were called into a
house by the proprietors who told them
that three young men who had broken
in the door were in back room. The
men overheard the woman and ran out
the back door of the house. Officer
Knight followed, while Officer Beach
stationed himselfa at an alley gate to pre-
vent escape through that avenue. One
of the young men was in the act of seal
ing the fence, but when he saw Mr..
Beach he jumped back and fell into MIR.
Knights arms Another of the trio sue
ceeded in clearing the fence, but in his
descent broke his right leg. the bone oil
which protruded through the flesh. The
third man, who ii was alleged, had a
pistol 10 his pocket, escaped. The In
iured man was conveyed to the Alexsn ;,
dria Hospital and his partner, who fell
into Officer Knights arms. was taken 70

An Object Lesson.

A young woman, comedy in appear-
ance, although bearing the impress OF
an ill-spent life, the sands of which
apparently are nearly run, was taken up
BY the police last night as a sanitary
precaution. She promised to leave the
city if liberated, aud was paroled with
the understanding that should she per-
sist in remaining here and exercising
her Establishments, the work house
would be Der portion. A month or two
ago the woman vas the chief witness
against a man who had been charged
with the unlawful sale Of cocaine. The
terrible effects OF that narcotic coupled
with those which run through genera
tons of human beings who follow dis
orderly lives, rendered it necessary for the
police to act promptly in her case.
