SUSPECTED OF FRAUD.
TWO AGED MEN, CLAIMING TO BE
OLD SOLDIERS, WANT
PENSIONS.
Government Authorities Say They
Have No Rights and Are Attempting
to Defraud the United states-Are
in Jail Awaiting Trial.

Des Moines, .May.7.-Two aged men,
who claim the right to wear the little
bronze button which signifies gallantry
in the civil war, are in the Polk county
Jail awaiting to be tried by the federal
court next week on the charge of fling
false declarations for the purpose Of
securing pension.
The penalty for the alleged crime
where it is proven is confinement in
the state penitentiary at hard labor
for not less than one or more than five
years, or fine of not less than $1,000
and not to exceed $4,000.
Two Michael keeIeys.
Michael Kelley was arrested at the
Old Soldiers home in Marshalltown
from which place he made application
through Robert Daibow, of Albion, for
a pension. When his case was investi-
gated it was discovered a woman was
drawing a widows pension for Michael
Kelley, the same man the MARSHALL
town soldier resented himself to
be. AS there could be but one man
for single service, an Investigation
was instituted. Kelley claims to have
been a member of Company e of the
Thirty-fifth Iowa infantry. The man
who died and left pension to his wild
ow had claimed to be the same person.
The government charges that Kelley
is an imposter, though he stoutly main
tains his innocence and afirms his
identity is true.
Claims VS.. Records.
Joe Wing, alias Richard Powell, Of
Oskaloosa, an aged colored man, has
also fallen victim to the same
trouble. He claimed to the government
he had been wounded in the battle Of
Big Creek, in Arkansas, while enlisted
as Richard Powell. Investigation re
vealed that Richard Powell had no.
been wounded. The government il
working on the theory that the accused
man was not an enlisted soldier, bu
was merely a servant or camp follow
er. There was a Richard Powell in the
service, but the government will bring
witnesses to the stand who will testi
fly this is not the man, though they be
lieve he may be a brother to the rea
soldier.
An interesting trial is anticipated il
both cases, as both men substantiate
their claims by telling remarkably
truthful stories of incidents Of the com
pany in war. There is little question
but that both men were in the war il
some capacity.

PORT ARTHUR IS CUT OFF
FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD

Yalu river and Fenghuancheng, after
winning decisive battle last Sunday.
The reports of the Japanese admirals
refer to the landing of the second army
corps in two parts on the Liaotung Pc
ninsula.
Where is the third army corps? This
, corps sailed from Japanese shores
some time ago.. Its present where
abouts is mystery. Military writer's
in London believe that it will land
somewhere close to New Chang with
in few days.
Can Port Arthur Hold Out?
The Russians assert with confidence
that Port Arthur is provisioned for q
years siege and that within that time
many things may happen. Military
men here doubt the Russians ability
to hold out. They foresee the final
catastrophe, when Port Arthur must be
surrendered. When that hour comes
the Russians, it is felt certain, will
blow up the seven magnificent battle
ships and the powerful armored cruis-
ers now bottled I'D in the harbor, de-
stroy the Notifications, dynamite the
fortress artillery, and give to the VIC
torious Japanese only the empty shell
of what three months ago was believed
to be next to Gibraltar one Of the most
impregnable fortresses in the world

There is more catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

BIG ADVERTISING CONTRACT.
Davenport Times Secures Biggest Or

Davenport Times Secures Biggest Or
der Ever Given in Tri-cities.
The Davenport Times of which E.
P. Adler, formerly Of Ottumwa, is pub
Usher, makes the following interest
ing announcement:
"The Times takes pleasure in an
nouncing today that with this issue the
Boston Store of Davenport enters into
the largest advertising contract ever
made by any local store in the three
cities with any newspaper The con-
tract calls for minimum Of 10000
inches of display advertising space to
be used in the Times in one year from
date. The negotiations for this con-
tract have been under way for several
months.
.'This advertising contract marks
new era for Davenport and will be Of
indirect benefit to every merchant in
the city. For years it has been consid-
cred by merchants throughout the
state that Davenport was ten years be-
hind the times in the matter Of adver-
Using and the fact that the large de-
partment stores did not advertise ex-
tensively, as they do in every other
city in the country was taken to sig
nifty that Davenport was "siow
town. and that it's merchants were
not pushers and hustlers for business
as in other cities. This fact has also
been source of much comment among
the local merchants, who were hust-
lers and advertisers, and who took the
broad view of advertising that the
more people this advertising brought
to the town and to the stores the more
benefit all would receive in proportion
1t is fact that Davenport is the larg-
est city within more than a 100 mile
radius and it's tributary trade is not
what it should be for the size Of the
city and the great and rich field sur
rounding it.
"Messrs Harmed G Won Maur have
taken all this into consideration and
have decided that they will take the
initiative in strong and vigorous adj
vertising campaign which will have its
beneficent effect on the entire city.
1T is with no little pride that the
Times appreciates the stamp OF ap-
proval placed on this paper as the
leading newspaper of the three cities
by this contract with the Boston store.
1t is a just recognition of the great
strides this paper has made in the past
four years and only cinches the opin-
ion that the majority of other local
merchants have had for several years
OF the Times superiority in this field"

they were unsuccessful. When the lit
tie body was found, fifty feet below the
