CLARK AND PEEK, JUSTICES
Lounsberry's Majority Over His op-

Township Fight Hotiy Contested

Harold C. Lounsbecry won the only
contested Office before the republican
primaries Tuesday. defeating his OPP

of the district court, 2 to l. With
three precincts yet TO hear from Mr..

will make no difference whatever in
general results In the township offices,
over which q big fight was made, w. M.
Clark and S. +. PEEK were nominated
justices of the peace and S. Y. Leech
and Walter III. Wilson constables. b.
l.. Burritt, for justice. ran only twenty
four VOTES behind Mr.. Peek, but Mr..
Clark's lead was sufficiently large to
place him out of the danger class, as
he carried four of the five wards.
The vote in the county in the clerk
ship contest will run about 1900 under
that cast for Greene and Eckles last
year. The present total vote for clerk
is 2,214, as against $500, or 1906 under
the head of last years primary ticket.
In the city the vote lacked 354 of
equaling the registration. A total OF
1919 was cast for clerk, as against
a registration of 1913. Loursberry
carried every ward OF the city, even to
defeating Mr. Knisels ten votes in the
latter's own ward. Mr.. knisely had
the great difficulty of third term
to contend with, and that hurt him in
his canvass more than anything else.
1t has been thought for some time that
he could hardly overcome the preju-
dice to third term, and the vote shows
the surrnise to have been correct. Mr..
Lounsberry's total vote in the city was
712, against his opponents 5o7. ma
jority of EOS.
The vote on the c1erkship by pre-
cincts was as follows:

MRS. MASON PAROLED
Prisoner From This County at Ana
mosa Pcnitentiary, Granted a Tenn
porary Parole to Avoid Her Child
Being Born in Penitentiary.

Word from Des Moines announces
that. Governor A. 3. Cummins has
granted a parole to Mrs. Georgia Ma.
son serving a two-year sentence in the
penitentiary at Anamosa on charge
of adultery. Mrs. Mason was sentenc-
ed on Aug 3, 1902, and was paroled
April 80, 1903. While in this city she
was arrested for violating her parole.
and on Sept 81, 1903, was taken back
to The penitentiary. The present par
ole, granted by the governor, is to al
low Mrs. Mason her liberty until after
she gives birth to her babe. The Iowa
law protects an innocent babe from
the stigma of being born in a peni-
Tertiary. The order of the governor is
to the effect that the prisoner be re-
turned to the penitentiary after the
birth OF her child.

Every indication, now that Boone has
placed its forfeit of 5000 with President

COUNTY'S OWN LIGHTS
Board Of Supervisors Considering In
stailins Electric Light plants for
Court House and County Farm -
Present Lighting Bills Arc Too Large

The board of supervisors at its clos
ing session Of the March term, held
Tuesday afternoon. investigated into
the cost of installing electrical plants
TO furnish lights for the court house,
Jail and county heating plant. also the
county farm. The board considers
that 1t is costing the county too mucl
to do its lighting. and that it would
be economy for the county to make its
own lights. The bills for the court
house and Jail aggregate in the neigh :
borhood of $50 each month. At the
county farm 1t is impossible to use
kerosene, because of the danger to the
insane patients, who are just as liable
TO upset the lamps as not. A system
of gasolene gas has been in use, but
the plant is practically worthless. and
inadequate. II an electric plant is put
in at the county farm it will be larger
than the present demands require and
installed with view OF future needs.
The board took no definite action be .
fore adjournment.

cation. Rev. Braden read four speclhc
queries which he asked his audience
to vote for and request their publica-
ton in the Times Republican.
III detail Rev. Hull is asked that If
his free love article was "emascula-
ted" as he claims. why did your wife,
Elvira Hull, write from your home IN
Vnland n. j., an article published IN
Woodruff and Claflins Weekly. Sept.
6, 1873, in which she refers to your art.
Gle as your confession. without sug-
geslion that it had been changed ana
quotes, as yours, the most objection
able matter in it?'
Again Braden asks. IF the article
as reprinted in pamphlet form by the
Sp,itualists of New Hampshire wds
so 'mutilated' as you claim. why did
not you repudiate 1t by making such
statement them" and Why is it that
you never made any such denial that
you can cite OF prove, until fifteen
years after the publication of your
article in Woodruff and Claffin sWeeK-
ly and by the Spiritualists of New
Hampshire in pamphlet form :? Key.
Braden then closes his manifesto with
the remark addressed to Moses HUI,
this trumped-up subterfuge at this
late day is too thin"
More as to Margaret Fox.
Regarding the controversy between
Rev. Pye and Rev. Hull as to whether
Margaret Fox, the Spiritualist. died in
the Spiritualistic faith or in some other
"a controversy in which disputants
seemed for a time to be arguing about
different persons by the name of Fox,
"a we'll known woman residing in this
city, has sent to the T.-R. office book
entitled "Love-Life of DIR. Kane" con-
tairing the correspondence and a his
tory of the engagement and secret
marriage Of Elisha X Kane and Mar
garst Fox. The argument of the book
is that DR.. Kanes hatred of Spiritual
ism induced Margaret, thru his argu-
ments, to give it up On page 2S4 the
author says: Fills hatred of Spirit
ualism is her abiding feeling in regard
TO 1t, and she snuns it's votaries." On
the same page 1t is also Stated In
August, 1858, she became member of
the Roman Catholic church" Rev.
Pye seems to have been in error in
stating that she died Methodist rs

TOOK A STRAW VOTE.

Interesting Experiment in Restaurant
An advertising agent, representing
q prominent New York magazine,
while on a recent western trip, was
dining one evening in q Pittsburg res
taurant.
While waiting for his order ne
glanced over his newspaper and no.
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 I'M the dining room
were also friends of the popular rem
edy for Indigestion.
He says: l counted twenty-three
men at the tables and in the hotel Of
fee I took the trouble to interview
them and was surprised to learn that
nine of the twenty three made prae-
tice of taking one or two OF Stuart 5
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
One of them told me he had suffered
% 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 he
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
q 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 Stuarts Dy-
spepsia Tablets was the only safe REM
edy he had ever found for sour stom-
ach and acidity. He had formerly US
ed common soda to relieve the trouble.
but the tablets were much better ana
safer to use.
After smoking. drinking, or other
excuses which weaken the digestive
organs. nothing restores the stomach
to a healthy, wholesome condition SO
effectually as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the natural digesttves pepsin, diastase.
which every weak stomach lacks, as
well as nux, hydrastin and yellow par
lila, and can safely be relied on as
radical cure for every form OF poor di-
gestion. Sold by druggists every
where.

The Township Contests.

The township contests, in the city.
were even more spirited than that for
clerk of courts. With five candidates
in the field for justice and four for
constable the vote was necessarily
pretty badly split. Each candidate had
a large number of lieutenants. who
worked all day at the various polling
places. seeking to capture the votes of
their friends. There was a surprise to
many in the defeat of Mr.. Burritt, who
was conceded to be a strong candidate.
Mr.. Peek's workers were on the ground
all day. and carried three wards against
Burritt. The vote for the three leading

COFFEE HIT HER.
Left 1t OF by Doctors Advice and
Gained Health Quickly.

A well-known physician of Men,
phis, Tenn, reported a case of coffee
disease as follows
II want to tell you Of case that in
terested me very much and to you be-
longs the credit of the cure A lady
of about So years, pale, emaciated, ex-
treniely nervous and irritable sent for
me to call and make a prescription for
several supposed maladies; viz. heart
disease, cancer of the stomach, female
disensesI with some accompanying COM
plants.
after thorough physical examin-
alton l found what is now appropriate
ly called coffee heart: fiabby, mac
tive stomach with torpid bowels. The
patient was the victim of extreme ner-
yousness, and about an hour after meals
had most distressing, smothering spells
with IRREGULAR and sluggish circula
ton. AMY unusual effort would cause
the pulse to fiutter at a rapid rate and
a blind dizziness would almost COM
pei the patient to fall.
"Realizfng the effect coffee has upon
the hearth and circulation I knew at
once the cause of the trouble so l in
structed her to quit coffee at once and
prescribed Postum Food Coffee to be
used regularly III its place, and the
result was even a surprise to me.
THE patient In ten days time had
gained pounds and was absolutely
free from the depressing heart spells
the stomach acted properly together
with all the other bodily functions. The
result was perfecr. I made a staunch
friend of the lady but feel that in re-
ality the credit belongs to Postum Cof-
fee for without Postum to shift to
nothing would ever have persuaded her
to give up the deadly drink coffee. With
Postum tol take it's place there was no
trouble to give UP the old coffee.
ut is part of my practice now to
forbid the iuse of coffee in all chronic
cases and prescribe Postum which /
know to be a most nutritious food in
LIQUID form" Name given by Postum
