Special to Times Republican
Rockwell, March 30.-Rockwell edu-
cationa, circles are just at present con-
sderably stirred up over recent scaool
election and it's subsequent results.
About a year ago. ii is alleged by the
faction opposed to the powers that
We're then in control. Principal Ma
hanna and few of his close friends in
and out Of the school began clamoring
for the removal of Miss Velma Gray. a
teacher in the primary department OF
alleged that this action was untimely
and was condemned in unmeasured
terms at the time. because of the pop
ular belief that it was promoted by the
sole desire to secure her position for
some one of the same church aftilia-
ton as those conducting the fight, and
later developments bore out this the
DRY, so the friends of Miss Gray claim.
A good deal Of feeling was engendered
and it is claimed the church congrega-
tions to which the opposing factions
belonged became more or less involved.
The matter, however. held fire until the
time for the school election drew near,
when 1t broke out again. The friends
of Miss Gray placed a ticket in the
field and elected the same over the
Mahanna ticket by vote of two to
che Then followed the resignation of
one of the lady teachers, who had been
particularly active IN the fight against
Miss Gray. In the meantime the board
had rendered the principalship to Mr..
Mahanna on the suppos;tion, so some
say, that he would merely take it as
an act OF courtesy designed merely to
express the boards belief in his ability
as an instructor and also as an aid in
securing position elsewhere and de-
cline to continue his work here. How
ever. the principal, apparently. took his
reelection as vindication and it is
said proposes to stay, despite the cleo
ton of the Gray ticket in opposition
To the one friendly to him. His friends
are advising him to remain and there
is considerable speculation as to the
outcome of the affair.

Christian Olson Has Been Arrested by
County Authorities.
Waterloo, March 30.-Christian Oh
son, who is being sued for divorce the
second time by the same woman, il;
now in the county JAIL awaiting trial
on the charge of violating an injunc-
ton issued by the court several days
ago.
Mrs. Olson, at the time she petitioned
for her second divorce from her hus-
band, also asked for an injunction re-
straining him from visiting her prem
ises or interfering with her business
matters in any way. The injunction
was granted but it seems that even the
courts could not keep Olson away from
his familiar haunts, for yesterday a
bench warrant was issued for his ar
rest and he was taken into custody BY
the county authorities.
Olsons troubles seem to be multi
tudinous and he seems to think he IS
getting the worst Of it all around.
He has been married, divorced, and
married to the Same woman, and is
now defendant in second divorce SUIT
pending in the district court, in which
his wife charges him with cruel and
inhuman treatment The Olson family
have been literally aired in
the courts before this.

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK
Food Eaten is Worthless Unless Ci-
uested = Some Stomachs Must Have

Food Eaten is Worthless Unless Di-
oested - Some Stomachs Must Have
Help.
Food taken into the stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the
pondition of the stomach, is not Ill
cested. is worse than no, food at all.
This is a true statement as TAR as II
goes and a great many dyspeptics go
only this far with their reasoning.
They argue with themselves that be-
cause their stomachs do not do the
work given them, they must be given
aess work; in other words they must be
starved. It would be just as sensible
for business man who Is unable 10
do all his work to cut down his busi-
ness TO his own capacity as 1t Is Tor
man to starve himself to relieve his
stomach. The sensible business man
employs help and goes forward Wish
his business Likewise the sensible
dyspeptic will employ help for his
stomach and give his body proper
0ourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to him. They re :
Eeve weak and overburdened stomachs
of great portion of digestive acton.
Their component parts are Identical
with those of the digestive fluids ana
Aecretions OF the stomachs. and they
simply take up the grind and carry on
the work just as the good, strong,
healthy stomach would do 1t.
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
ds eaten and carry out natures plans
Tor the sustenance and maintainence
OF the body.
How much more sensible Is this
method than that employed by many
eufferers from weak stomachs. BY TINS
means the body and brain get all the
good, nutritious food they need and
The man is properly nourished ana
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
mot contain enough nuitriment for a
year old baby. A strong man doing
strong work must be properly fed and

body.
