DISTRESS AFTER MEALS
Sure Slan That Or. Williams Pink Pile
Arc Needed to Tone Up tho
Digestive Organs.

Loss of appetite, distress after eatinga
shortness Of breath, a feeling of utter
weakness-these are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary doctors
treatment serves but to weaken the dis
eased organs. .
The new tonic method of treating dis.
orders of this kind does not aim to do the
work of the stomach, does not demand
that the food be pre-digested, but builds
up the weakened organs, SO that they can
do the work that nature intended.
Mrs. 10. Law, of No. 324 North street.
Horton. Kansas, says: "In 1897, while
we were living on q farm in this neigh
borhood. I became generally debilitated
as the result of overwork. had serious
indigestion, lost my appetite, suffered
from sense of suffocation and from OBJ
struction of the circulation, SO that arti-
fetal means had to be used to restore it.
After suffering for months without find
ing any relief, tried a box of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills of which I had read in
a newspaper. The first few boxes made
me lots better, and after using the third
box I felt entirely we'll.
II am now in excellent health and am
able not only to take care Of my house
but also to assist my husband in a store
which he has lately taken. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills cured me and I can recon-

easily taken and SO prompt in their &C.

ODDITIES OF INVENTION.

In Germany clocks have been run by
wireless telegraphy. Portable wireless
stations, so light that they can be car
ried by men, have also been devised BY
German inventors.
A recent French invention which
utilizes electroplating for the deposit
o. extremely thin coatings of precious
metals is said to make possible the
gold plating of lace, without stiffening
the fabric. Silver is used in the same
way.
A machine has been invented for
manufacturing cotton automobile tires.
The tires are woven something like
lampwicks, only they are heavier and
OF coarser texture. They are said TO-
resist a pressure of 5000 pounds to the
square inch.
Although not yet perfected, the Ma

tend the field of usefulness of the long
distance telephone by rendering audi

Aluminium Is being used in France to,
make alloys of brass for the construc-
ton of submarine boats. It has been
found that the admixture of aluminium
produces extraordinary changes in the
color Of the compound. A little alumni
mum makes it deep gold, and at point
where between five and ten per cent.
of aluminium is used it becomes rose
rcd. Over ten per cent. of the lighter
metal makes the alloy white.

About the most distressing sight in
war time is the odium heaped upon a
man whose fragrant act of cowardice
has become so notorious that the disci-
pline of the army demands that he be
made a public example. Such a thing
happened at Suffolk, Va, in 1863. A
soldier deserted thin skirmish line
and fled ignominiously to the rear.
The desertiOn was witnessed by so
many and the culprit was so needless
regarding the publicity of his shame
full behavior that it became absolutely
necessary to show the soldiers what
cowardice in the face of the enemy
meant. So the army was lined up on
both sides of the street, the frightened
soldier stripped of his uniform and
boards bearing the words coward
were hung to his breast and back. On
either side was a soldier carrying q
musket. In the rear walked q drum
mer playing the 'Rogue's March, AS
the coward passed through the lines
the soldiers jeered. He did not dare
raise his eyes. Had he possessed q par
t1cle OF manhood he would have pre-.
ferred death ten times over to such hu-

is absolutely extinct. He passed on

HoIdover Officers Must Give New
Bond.

Attorney General Mullan has forward
ed an opinion to Treasurer of State Gil
bertson to the effect that public officers
whose terms have been extended by the
biennial elections amendment must give
new bonds.
This decision affects every county
treasurer in Iowa, and many other Off
Gals. Literally, millions of dollars of
bonds have been given by these officials,
and under the decision of the attorney
general, they must be renewed.
The result will be to release FROM liza
bility large number Of personal bonds
men on the first Monday in January.
provided their obligations are not re-
newed, and the business of the bond
companies will be immensely increased.
The renewal required under the decision
of the attorney general will be for the
one year ending with December, 1905.
Much discussion has been INDUCED in
among the officials as to whether the
bonds would have to be renewed. Opin-
ions have differed with respect to the
matter. At the capitol, it has been a
subject under consideration for several
weeks.
The attorney general does rot believe
that it is within the power of the peo-
pie, even, to extend the liability Of
sureties on the bonds already in force,
either by the enactment Of an amend
ment to the constitution, or Of law in
the legislature.
THIS OPINION.
In part, the attorney generals opin-
ion, as handed to the treasurer Of state,
follows:
"All officers whose terms of Office are
extended by Joint resolution No. 1, COM
monty known as the biennial election
amendment 10 the constitution, we're
elected for definite term fixed by law,
which entered into and became part
of the contract by which the sureties
| upon the bonds Of such officers under
took to guarantee the official conduct Of
their respective principals.
THE contract entered into by the
sureties upon such bonds is that they
will guarantee the good conduct of the
officers for whom they are sureties dur
ing the term for which such officers
were elected. Their liability as sure
ties under the contracts executed BY
them will end with the expiration Of
the term of Office for which their re
spectiye principals were elected.
"The extension of the term of Office by
the constitutional amendment is il
effect new term, thereby given to al
officers who come within it's provisions
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1905-12-21

The term created by such amendment is
no part of the time during which the
sureties upon the official bonds Of such
officers agreed to be responsible for the
acts of their principals, and there is no
agreement on the part of the sureties
that they will answer for the good con-
duct OF their principals during such
term.
ut is not within the power Of the leg
islature or of the people of the state,
either by the enactment OF statute or
the adoption Of an amendment to the
constitution, to enlarge the liability of
the sureties upon such official bonds
and extend such liability beyond the
period covered by the original contrast.
"All officers whose terms are so e1-
tended by the constitutional amendment
must therefore execute and file in the
manner provided by law new bonds with
approved sureties for the faithful dis
charge Of their official duties during the
, new term created by such amendment.
