The "C,rays" were idle again yester-
day at Ottumwa, and spent the day
loafing about the MOTEL. chatting under
rhe conditions which made it iinpossi-
BILE for them to go out and DO oattie
with the "Standpatters." The rain OF
the day before had made the diamond
and outtield sloppy and wet and unit
for game. A like condition prevailed
in all Of the other towns excepting
Burlington, where the Fort Dodge club
won a poor game by the score of Ii to
3. By winning, Fort Dodge has crowd
ed up on an even footing with Mar
shalltown, which, thru no fault OF her
own. but that of the weather. has re-
NAMED stationary. If no rain fell IN
the south last night, games will prob
ably be played in all the cities this
afternoon.

y NEW PRINCIPLE IN MEDICAL
SCIENCE.

For wears it has been the practice OF med
eal men to treat patients suffering from piles
bv local, external applications. These treat
nents give but temporary relief, but have
uever affected positive cure.
After months of research and study, &C.
companied by actual experience with various
patients, DR. c. A. Perrin arrived at posi-
tive conclusion as to the exact action of the
various parts of the bowel system, under
different conditions, and when subjected to
various prescriptions.
He finally prepared that wonderful inter-
nal remedy known as DR.. PERKINS, PILE
Specific, which is put up in bottles, retail
ing at all reliable drug stores for S1.0O each.
This internal remedy has been on the mar
ket for the past ten years, and in all OF that
time there has been but three cases where
positive cure has not been effected.
I DR.. Perrin's Pile Specific is sold under
positive guarantee by the druggist making
the sale, to refund the full purchase price,
providing the remedy fails to cure. This IS
the absolute proof of its merit. Any man
or woman who suffers from blind, bleeding,
itching or internal piles can try this internal
remedy with the absolute certainty that 1t
will cost nothing unless it cures. Here is
what one sufferer says Of this wonderful
Semedy
T,r. C. A. Perrin, Helena. Mont.-I wish to thank
hou for the csre your wonderful medicine has done for
me- had the piles some FIVE years, and under the
t,Hs we'd the knife and
felt free for awhile but they returned and at once got
bottle of your Perrin's Pile Specific and one bottle
has entirely cured me- and am good as ever was
Yours truly,

JANlToR is DISCHARGED.
Northwestern's Retrenohment Policy
Extends to Minor Local Position.

The Northwesterns policy OF re-
trenchment, announced in the T.-R.
from Boone few evenings ago, has
extended into the local field and this
morning L. Nj. Croft, for seven years
ianitor of the union station which is
Northwestern property, ceased To draw
pay for his services. The order was
issued by Agent Garvin, who received
instructions To lay off the janitor and
inform the assistant day baggageman.
VIII Thorpe, that he was expected %
take charge of the depot in addition
to his regular duties. for which he re-
ceiyeS a salary of $40 per month. Upon
receipt of the order Mr.. Thorpe hand
ed in his resignation, effective on the
spot. Mr.. Croft, while engaged tenn
porarily by the agent on account of
Mr.. Thorpes resignation, will leave
the company's employ within few
days.
The policy of the Northwestern, in
extending it's retrenchment into such
minor position as jantors of larger
stations. is hard to understand. II
the Marshalltown station has possessed
some features that were not partic-
ularly desirable noticeably poor light
ing. it has been kept clean. Passen-
gers have never found fault with the
general appearance of the station,
which would soon become little less
than hog pen. without constant care.
The company saves by the act of re-
trenchment almost SIT, that being the
Northwestern's share of the monthly
salary of SIS paid to Mr.. Croft. The
Iowa Central bears the other third of
the salary Mr.. Croft has been offered
the privilege of remaining at the stu
ton, and keeping it clean, for tho
shoe shining privilege. which he has
maintained. AS this is not a paying in
stitution in itself, the offer was re-
fused.

TOWN OF GILMAN BEATEN.
Judge Mcpherson Holds That Bonds
Local, Despite Limit Of indebtedness.

An important decision has bean
handed down by Judge Mcpherson. in
the United States court Des Moints,
in the case of Louis p. Fernald VS.. the
incorporated town of Gilman. The suit
was one wherein Mr. Fernald held the
bond of the town for $780, advanced
for the purpose of Installing water
works system The town officers, af-
ter the money had been borrowed con-
tinued to pay interest on the sum, but
when the principal became due refused
to settle Upon this Fernald brought
suit to recover the entire amount.
1t was held by the defense that the
town was already in debt beyond the
legal limit, and therefore the bond held
by Fernatd was illegal. AS to the
interest question, the attorneys for the
defense argued that this was also IL
legal, inasrnuch as the loan itself was
Illegally contracted.
The case was commenced before
Judge Mcpherson and a jury. After
hearing the arguments of the plain
tiff for d directed verdict, the court
| took the case out of the hands of the
| jury and rendered a verdict for the
plaintiff.
Judge McPherson's decision is re-
garded as being of great value 10 the
Iowa law, because OF its bearing on a
| large number of cases affecting cities
| of a like size as the one in question.
| Within the past two or three years,
numerous cities in Iowa have installed
pubic improvements under much the
same conditions, with the result that
actions are now pending in the courts
| for the recovery of the money adj
vanced by private citizens for the con-
| struction of the improvements.
In his decree the court gives the
| right to these parties to recover, even
tho the towns are bonded beyond their
legal indebtedness, and 1t is regarded
as an important legal victory.

Reported, but Clue Is Again Lost
Said He Had Left His Family and
That They Were Probably Looking

1t developed Tuesday afternoon that
Fred D. Bailey, who left his home and
children while supposed to have been
in an unbalanced mental condition. last
Thursday, was seen near Ferguson, as
was at first reported. A telephone mes
sage from Ferguson to the sheriff's Of
flee late Tuesday afternoon said he
stopped at the home of c.. "A. Haskin.
Forth OF Ferguson. He came to the
house about o'clock Friday morning.
He said he was tired and did not feel
well. and that he had been having trou-
bic at home. He was given q room
and remained all day asleep. In the
evening he left. going to the home of
Joseph Peschel, where he remained un-
til about s o'clock. He said he was look
ing for work, and also said he had left
his family. and that they We're probably
looking for him. He left going west.
saying he was going to strike the
Twelfth avenue road. Since then he has
not been seen, and where he went still
remains mystery.
Later-County Attorney S. c. Huber,
of Tama county, telephoned the sher-
ifs office this afternoon that he had
received telephone message from
Haven, an inland town ten miles south
west of Tama, or south of Long Point,
to the effect that a man answering
the description Bailey, as published In
last evenings T.-R., had been seen
wandering about in the neighborhood.
Mr. Huber was requested to commun-
icate with the people reporting the
case and instruct them to take the

THE FULLER CASE.
Money Is Paid by Attorney and Fuller

Is Free.
| Word from Des Moines gives further
particulars of the case OF Thomas Full
Ter. OF this city, who was charged In
the United States court with using the
mails for the purpose OF extorting
money Fuller's case is familiar to
readers of the T.-R. and its disposition
by Judge Smith Mcpherson was stated
in a dispatch from Des Moines Tuesday
afternoon. Word from Des Moines says
that j. L. Carney, the young mans at
torney. paid the fine of 500 and costs,
and the prisoner was discharged. The
remainder Of the $500 fine which Judge
Mcpherson imposed Will stand over
him. however, pending good behavior.
The people OF Grinnell including
President H. w. Spaulding. of the
Spaulding Manufacturing Company, to
whom the letter demanding $500 under
threat of burning his carriage plant
was addressed. came to the support OF
Fuller, and by letters to the court
pleaded for leniency. President Dan
F. Bradley, Dean Main and other MEM
bers Of the faculty of Grinnell College.
asked that the court not infiict a pen
itentiary sentence. While they did not
condone the crime, they considered that
the young man had already been suffi-
GENTLY punished. The eoncensus Of
opinion of the Grinnell people Is that
Fuller would not have got into trouble
had he not been pinched financially for
funds in his endeavor to work his way
thru college. The letters Of the Grin
nell people evidently had much to do
with securing such a light fine and
Fuller is considered very lucky indeed
