EXPLAIN THE USE OF FUNDS.
Daughters of the American Revolution
Correct misunderstanding.

Washington, D. c., April 6. = A
statement was issued yesterday by or
der of the board of management of the
National Society of the Daughters Of
the, American Revolution. $50 much
publicity has been given to the fact
that the board of management has ap-
propriated $500 fer putting Memorial
Continental hall into condition for the
fourteenth continental congress and
such a general misunderstanding
seems to exist that the board of man
agement has reluctantly felt obliged to
issue a public statement" says the re-
port. 1t explains that the money is
to be used to place the hall in proper
condition, to complete many other per-
manent features not included in the
$4,000 contract which nearly ex-
hausted the fund at the disposal of the
building committee.

WHISTLER MAY BE INDICTED.
To Be Charged With Murder in FRS

To Be Charged With Murder in First
Degree-ogden's Body Changed.
Bloomfield April 6-Was Frank
Ogden shot and his body carried from
the barn to the house, where it was
afterwards found?
The state claims to have discovered
evidence tending to show this to be
true. The body was found with the
head downward. Blood flowing from
the bullet wound in the heart was
found to have dripped toward the feet,
indicating the murdered mans position
when he fell and also indicating that
the position of the body must have
been changed.
The murdered mans knife and to-
bacco were found at the barn. Hence
it is believed by the state that tho body
was carried from the barn to the
house, where it was afterwards found.
1t is expected an indictment will be re.
turned this week charging Whistler
with first degree murder.
Whistler says that he shot Ogden in
self-defense and because Ogden had
insulted his wife. Whistler and his
wife stated at the inquest that Ogden
was intoxicated and that he had Sc.
cured his liquor in Moulton. Coroner
Heady, of Bloomfield, will give out nc
statement pertaining to the nature OF
the verdict of the jury that held the
inquest over the body Sunday Wits
Ter has hired lawyers to defend him
self.
Ogden was buried at the Dunkard
cemetery.

EXPRESSIVE NAME FOR INDIGESTION
Sargent Has Simple Remedy That
Is Guaranteed to Cure the Trouble.

No one word better expresses the
condition of the sufferer from weak
stomach or indigestion than misery.
The stomach is weak and cannot d.
gest the food, so that there is no appe-
lite, there are pains and gripping in
the stornach and bowels, the head and
back e, and the misery goes to ey-
cry organ.
Strengthen the stomach and the di-
gestive system by the use of M1-o-na.
This is the only stomach remedy
known that gives relief by strengthen
ing the stomach and digestive organs.
It is this principle that makes it a
certain cure for indigestion. Other
medicines may give temporary relief
by helping digest the food, but they do
not strengthen the stomach, and that
organ gets weaker and weaker all the
time.
Sargent, the reliable retail druggist,
has so much confidence in this remark
able remedy that he guarantees a
cure, or the money will be refunded.
Mi-o-na costs but so cents a box. ASK
to see the strong guarantee given with
every box.
Mi.o-na is In tablet form and should
be taken before each meal. Other
remedies for stomach troubles and In.
digestion are taken after the meal and
decompose the good food you eat, but
Mona used before eating strength
ems tho stom ach, soothes and heals all
Irritation and Inflammation, enriches
the blood, and puts the stomach in
such a healthy condition that it will
take care of the food itself and there
will be no pain and suffering.

MUST SERVE HIS TERM.
Noah Reasby Arrested for Violating
Governors Parole.

Governors Parole.
Oskaloosa, April 6.-Noah Reasby, a
paroled convict, who was released by
the governor on January 6, 1900, upon
a parole of the fifteen years sentence
he had received for robbery in 1895,
will have to serve the rest of that SEN
tence.
The man was arrested Tuesday on
the order of Governor Cummins, who
directs that he be returned to Fort
Madison for the remainder of that
sentence. He will be taken to prison
tonight.
Reasby declares that he has in no
way violated his parole, and that he
will be released upon the showing
made by his attorney, George H.Wood-
son, to the governor. No specific
statement as to why the parole is re-
voked is made in the governors order,
but it is believed to be due to the fact
that Reasby is now under Indictment
as the alleged keeper of gambling
house, and accused of attempted muir
der by striking John Mcdonald with a
piece of "black jack" in a quarrel in
the mines at Colon.
