Pocahontas, April 1.-The Moore
Lighter case as brought before the
court here may prove another Jones
county calf case. Moore. mining pro-
moter of Idaho came to Rolfe to dis
pose of some stock in an Idaho copper
mine. He succeeded in interesting Mr..
Lighter. of Rolfe, newspaper man,
whom he appointed agent to dispose
of the shares Mr.. Lighter traded one
block of them for a house and lot, an
other block for the 'Reveille" a news
paper in all about $4,000 on these
two transa ctions.
Now comes Mr. Moore and wants his
$4,000, which Lighter denies as due
him and his attorney, Judge Helisell,
of Sioux Rapids, declares that the
whole mining transaction Is myth OF
blue sky value. If this be true there
has gone $4,000 (the amount held at
Rolfe), into the pockets of some one
thar. is not entitled to the same. This
mining transaction coming right on top
of a similar deal perpetrated in Palo
Alto and Kossuth counties. promises
to stir up a great scandal in relation to
the methods pursued by mining pro-
motors. 1t is perhaps the most inter
esting mining case since THE Letson
Balliett trial at Des Moines.

THEY ACTUALLY
Do THE WORK
Food Eaten is Worthless Unless d.
aested - Some Stomachs Must Rave
Help.

Help.
Food taken into the stomach which
from the nature of the food or ths
condition of the stomach, is not di-
rasted is worse than no food at all
This Is a true statement as TAR as IL
eoes and a great many dyspeptics sc
only this far with their reasoning
They argue with themselves that be-
cause their stomachs do not do tins
work given them, they must be given
less work; in other words they must bs
starved. It would be just as sensible
for a business man who is unable To
do all his work to cut down his Dusl-
ness to his own capacity as 1t IS ior y
man to starve himself to relieve MS
stomach The sensible business man
employs help and gees forward Win
his business. Likewise the sensible
dyspeptic will employ help for MS
stomach and give his body proper
nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to him. They re

Their component parts are ldentacai
with those of the digestive fluids ana
secretions of the stomachs, ana they
simply take up the grind and carry on
the work Just as the good. strong,
healthy stomach would do It,
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural In their
action and effects They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbances
in the stomach or bowels.
They themselves digest the
food and supply the system With
all the nourishment. contained in what
Is eaten and carry out natures plans
for the sustenance and maintainence
OF the body.
How much more sensible Is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs BY this
means the body and brain get all the.
good. nutritious food they need ana
the man is properly nourished and
equipped to carry on his work ana
perform, his duties. He could not pos
sibly be in proper working condition
by starving himself or employing some
new tangled. insufficient food that does
not contain enough nuftriment for

strong work must be properly fed and
this applies to the brain as we'll as the

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for

and they are the one article that the
druggist does not try 10 sell something

Their unqualified merit and success

Special to Times Republican.
Grinne.ll. April 1.-The scene at the
headquarters of the managing commit
tee of the county seat campaign was a
lively one last evening. Tired canvas
sers came in from country and town
and made reports and the fluctuations
swelled until by o'clock the list APP
,proximated 500 signers, and several
had not then reported. Some were so
far away OR so situated that they could
not report. The difficulties in the way
of the country canvass are simply enor
nous; enough to discourage both men
and horses. But the earnestness OF the
workers seemed not whit diminished
though tones and pose gave evidence
of their WEAKNESS. The mud in places
makes the roads almost dmpassable. In
some PLACES wheels so clog as to change
rolling t., sliding motion. 1t will take
nearly twice the time and labor that 1t
would II roads were In good condition.
But the success met with and the offers
of help from the farmers in every di-
rection stimulate the canvasser TO work
to the limit of his endurance.
A special county seat location edl-
ton of tile Grinnell Herald was issued

Tendency of the Times.

The tertaency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being giv- en to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia. one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with. can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thou sands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great preva- lence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with implicit confidence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly dis covered that there is fever and diff culty in breathing and pains in the chest, then it is announced that the patien. has pneumonia.
