Des Moines. Jan. 25. Secretary
John Simpson is investigating the
| this years fair to take the place of
Dan Patch of last year. The matter
is not an especially easy one. State
Fair secretaries are sometimes hard
| pressed to secure some attraction that
is new and novel and will attract the
attention and bring big crowd. The
owner of flying machine would like
to bring his machine here for an eX-
hlbition, but the principal objections
are that flying machines cannot be
guaranteed to be Il success ut the pres
ent stage of their development. AT
the same time the people on the out
side OF the fair grounds could see 1t

One great difficulty In securing at

tees that he can be heard and his

association will have to make up a

there is being considered the plan of

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM.
Any Man over Fifty.

You can interest any man over fifty

may not as yet have any positive or
ganc disease, he no longer feels the
buoyancy and vigor of twenty-five.
nor freedom from aches and pains he
enjoyed in earlier years, and he very
naturally examines with interest any
proposition looking to the improve
ment and preservation Of his health.
He will notice among other things
that the stomach of fifty is very diff
ferent one from the stomach he pos
sessed at twenty-five. That greatest
care must be exercised as to what is
eaten and how much of it, and even
with the best Of care, there will be I'M
creasing digestive weakness with adj
vancing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve
the digestion and assimilation of food
ls one which interests not only every
man of fifty, but every man, woman
and child of any age, because the whole
secret Of good health, good blood,
strong nerves, is to have a stomach
which will promptly and thoroly di-
sest wholesome food because blood,
constituent of the body are entirely the
product Of digestion, and no medicine
or "health" food can possibly create
pure blood or restore shaky nerves,
when weak stomach is replenishing
the daily wear and tear of the body
from a mass Of fermenting half-dfgest-
ed food.
No, the stomach itself wants help,
and in no roundabout way, either; 1t
wants direct unnistakeable assistance,
such as Is given by one or two Stuarts'
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble
because their use gives the stomach a
chance to rest and recuperate; one OF
4tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains
digestive elments sufficient to digest
5000 grains Of ordinary food such as
bread, meat, eggs etc.
The plan of dieting is simply an
other name for starvation, and the use
Of prepared foods and new tangled
breakfast foods simply makes matters
worse as any dyspeptic who has tried
them knows.
AS DR.. Bennett says, the only reason
I can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally used by
everybody who is troubled in any way
with poor digestion is because many
people seem to think that because
medicine is advertised or is sold In
drug stores or is protected by trade
mark. must be humbug, whereas as
a matter of truth. any druggists who
Is observant knows that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets have cured more people
Of indigestion, heart burn, heart trou-
BILE, nervous prostrat1un and run down
condition generally than all the patent
medicines and doctors prescriptions
for stomach trouble, combined.

State Officials Think Paynes Sase
Has Little Standing.
Des Moines, Jan. 26.-For the time
being political ambition is obscured
by the test suit on the biennial cleo
tions amendment which has been IN
augurated by Editor Payne at Neva-
da. Candidates for governor ana
secretary Of state realize that upon the
outcome of the suit depends the open
ing of the campaign which may be
held this fall or not until two years
hence. ,
The opinion commonly prevails Is
among state officials that the test suit
can have no standing in court. Not-
withstanding the reputed agreement on
the part Of Senator Titus and Others
who propose to defend the amendment.
to offer no technical objection, the
state officials can hardly see how the
district Judge can be expected to rec
ognize the authority of township trus-
tees as affecting the election of sutt1-
Client Importance to give the case
standing. Even if the lower court does
entertain the case and decide it, they
almost unanimously predict that the
supreme court will dismiss the case
because Of no standing.

DNCHCASESUNSETILED
Hamilton County Supervisors
Up Against the Problem of
the Assessment
DISTRICT OR COUNTY PAYa
Board Unable to Determine Whether
the County or Drainage District Shall
Stand the Expense Of Defending the
Boards Action in Establishing tho
District.
Special to Times-Republica.

Webster City. Jan. 25. The Ham
ilton county board OF supervisors have
adjourned to meet again on Febru-
airy Is. They took no action on the
various drainage ditch matters pending
but will take them up at the coming
session. The most important matter
to come up at the approaching ses-
sion, and one that is causing a great
deal OF discussion, is as to who shall
defend the action of the board in the
establishing Of bitches, which action
mas been appealed to the district court
Ihere are three Of these appeals as fol-
lows, the Strever ditch, the Johnson
ditch and the Little-Peterson ditch.
The question for the board to de-
eide is this, Shall the county defend
the establishment Of these bitches or
shall the expense be borne by the
drainage districts themselves? This is
point as yet unruled upon by the
courts.
In way, the board set precedent
for these cases in It's action on the
Strever ditch, altho this case differs
somewhat and precedent OH it might
not hold on the other cases. In the
StreVer case the present board are OPP
posed to the construction of the ditch,
which the old board established while
in the case of the other bitches they
approve the establishment. This ques-
ton involves a goodly sum of money
which will be expended in taking the
lie ho a ;cf,
the supreme court.
In the Strever case, County Attor-
ney Blake and the majority Of the
board held that the county has no in
terest in the appeal of the case at the
coming session Of the district court.
and Mr.. Blake will file disclaimer.
The board held that the persons de-
string. the ditch must defend the ac-
ton of the board, thus throwing the
expense upon the district.
The other ditch cases are not so diff
ferent as regards one thing-that is,
the proposed drainage districts them
selves, are the only parties Interested
in the establishment of the bitches, at
least this is the view taken by the
board. The board discussed this point
and while they reached no conclusion
upon it, enough was said to show that
the majority of them favor throwing
the defense of these cases upon the
drainage district and not upon the
county as a whole. Thus it is very
likely that the Johnson and Little
Peterson drainage districts, like the
Strever district, will be called upon to
defend the appeals Of the Northwest
ern Railroad Company, who asks that
the court annul the action Of the board
Of supervisors in establishing these
districts.

to appear before Justice J. L. Scott

gone so far as to influence farmers to
do likewise. One farmer paid small

council has already decided to fight the
matter to the last ditch. They want to
know if their ordinances is of any
value or not, and IL not the scale bus
mess will be discontinued entirely.
Weighing over the city scales is one
of the best things that ever came to
the town, and should be upheld as such
by every customer of the town.

Cedar Rapids. Jan. 25.-"Iowa Goods
for Iowa People" is the slogan at the
meeting Of the State Manufacturers
Association which is being held at
Cedar Rapids. beginning yesterday.
Manufacturing in Iowa has been
given an impetus in the last ten years
which marks the state IS one of the
coming factory states Of the union.
The vast agricultural resources, the
natural product so close at hand and
the facilities for converting 1t into
manufactured goods and placing 1t on
the western market. so near at hand
denotes that the factory men of the
state will soon be vieing with the
agriculturists for the ranking posi-
ton.
A few years ago 1owa's factories con-
sisted Of only those institutions con-
vertfng the native products into the
manufactured article. Canning fac
tories, packing houses, flour mills, oat-
meal mills and establishments Of this
character were the only ones known to
Iowa a few years ago.
DuI tlC past NCl year. mas hSo
an epoch in manufacturing in this state
almost unequaled In its history. At
the present time Iowa manufactures
nearly every article of commerce
known to states outside those that
have exclusive products, and even in
these instances Iowa has branched out
and produces manufactured materials
from products wholly unknown to the
state.
The efforts made by the iowa manu-
facturers' association to bring Iowa
manufactured goods to the notice of
the people Of the state, have borne
good fruit and the market for their
good is gradually expanding. and many
a factory has been forced to increase
its capacity to meet the enlarged de-
mand for it's goods.
Among the cities Of the states sup
porting factories, and large factories,
too, are Des Moines. Burlington, OF
tunwa Davenport, Dubuque Marshall
town, Cedar Rapids. Waterloo. Sioux
City, Council Bluffs Clinton, Fort Mad
ison and many other smaller cities.
The manufacturers association is
proud of the showing made by Iowa
factories at the st. Louis exposition.
where twenty three of them won
awards.
Iowa is In its infancy IN manufac-
turing, but from present indications, 1t
seems that the state within few years
will be known as one Of the foremost
manufacturing states Of the union.
feature of the factories and the man
ufacturing business in Iowa is the uni
form success of every institution of the
kind that is within the borders OF the
state. The failures of Iowa factories
are few and far between.
