DELANo MAKES COMPLAINT.
Thinks Questionable Means Were
Taken to Defeat Stock Shippers

Atlantic. March lin an author
lied interview in the Atlantic Demo-
GRAFT of last evening Representative De-
lano makes the charge that question:
able outside influences We're response
Bile for the unfavorahle report of the
railroad committee upon his BILL He
says in effect: II believe that | can
accept an adverse verdict when know
tina. it is influenced by no outside in
fuences and when it expresses the
honest opinion of the jury with as
good grace as any man living. But
when 1 know that undue influences

measure determined the Judgment

am almost tempted to give up all eff
fort for good after such exhibition of
human fradlty. but / know that the
people will rise up when they find how
their chosen representatives have
failed them and win yet secure their
rights"
Mr. DaLano further charges in his
that republican members OF
the house played politics in voting for
indefinite postpones1nent of the bill.
He says that they were not VIKING,
when they found the popularity of the
measure, to give democrat the pres
ttge of being the author of such legis-
lation. and insinuates that If he had
been republican the popular endorse
ment of the bill would have led the
house to overrule the Influenced adj
verse report of the committee.
In commenting upon the interview
the editor of the Democrat says that
if Mr.. DeLano had been venal as other
members of the assembly are venal he
might have made his term extremely
profitable from a financial standpoint.
But tbs. lobbyists of the railroads
could, he says, see the sterling char
acter of the man at once, and they did
not dare approach him with THE propo-
sitions which they use effectively with
others to defeat any legislation which
they oppose.

Interesting Experiment in a Restaura

Interesting Experiment in Restaurant
An advertising agent. representing
q prominent New York magazine,
while on recent western trip. was
dining one evening in Pittsburg res
taurant.
While waiting for his order ne
glanced over his newspaper and nc
ticed the advertisement of a we'll known
dyspepsia preparation, Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets; as he himself was a
regular user of the tablets, he began
speculating as to how many Of the
other travelling men in the dining room
were also friends of the popular rem
edy for indigestion.
He says: 1 counted twenty three
men at the tables and in the hotel of
flee took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised to learn that
nine Of the twenty three made a prac-
tfce of taking one or two of Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
One of them told me he had suffered
80 much from stomach trouble that at
one time he had been obliged to quit
the road. but since using Stuart's Dy-
spepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from Indigestion, but he continued
their use, especially while travelling,
on account of irregularity in meals,
and because like all travelling men.
he was often obliged to eat what lie
could get and not always what he
wanted
Another, who looked the picture of
health, said he never ate meal with
out taking Stuart Tablet afterward,
because he could eat what he pleased
and when he pleased without fear of
a sleepless night or any other trouble.
Still another used them because he
was subject to gas on stomach, caus-
ing pressure on heart and lungs, short
ness of breath and distress in chest
which he no longer experienced since
using the tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dy-
spepsia Tablets was the only safe rem
edy he had ever found for sour stom-
ed common soda to relieve the trouble.
but the tablets We're much better ana
safer to use.
After smoking drinking. or other
excuses which weaken the digestive
organs, nothing restores the stomach
to healthy, wholesome condition so
effectually as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digestives pepsin, diastase,
which every weak stomach lacks. as
well as nux, hydrastin and yellow par
lila, and can safely be relied on as a
radical cure for every form of poor di-
gestion. Sold by druggists every
where.

Des Moines March 11.--Eishermen
living along the Des Moines river have
recently become unduly concerned over
a rumor to the effect that the Meek
Brothers, owners OF the wooden mills at
Bonaparte, are about to commence the
construction of a new dam at Bona
parte TO take the place of the one which
ers of the mill property deny that there
is any intention on their part to rebuild
the dam.
Warden Lincoln, of Cedar Rapids,
state game and fish warden, states
that he has positive information that
there is no intention on the part of the
owners to rebuild. There was some
talk last winter" he said, "of having u
stock company formed to build an ell
ectric interurban line TO Bonaparte and
keosauqua from Keolluk, and to make
use of the dam and have it rebuilt for
the benefit of the water power, but
nothing has been heard of that for
some time. But If was the owners OF
the site and as able as they are to do
so, would build dam and again have
the finest body OF water in the state
and invite the whole state to come and
ride on the pond. would, of course,
have tishway in the dam, which would
be entirely acceptable. think that be-
fore the destruction of the dam 1t was
one OF the prettiest bodies of water
ever saw. l really felt sorry when
was there last to see the dam all gone
and the river running straight past the
old dam made historic by SO many
events in Iowa.
There can be no such thing as re-
pairing the dam. 1t is practically all
gone There were in fact two dams.
The old dam which was built by the
United States when it was spending
money to provide for navigation on the
Des Moines river had not proved suffi-
cient, SO the later owners had built an
other complete dam about fifteer. feet
from it, and then filed in the space
between the two with concrete. One
would think such dam would hold for
ever, but it did not 1t would not be
difficult matter to make a tishway over
the DAM The owners missed great
opportunity when they secured 9. con-
domination verdict of $4,000 for g fish
way right for the state. am of the
opinion that Gov. Cummins would have
paid them four or five thousand dol
lars for the fishway right in order to
dispose of the whole matter, though
thousand dollars would have been more
than it was worth. Now the state will
never have to pay cent for a fishway
even IL a new dam should be construct
