TO MEET AT DAVENPORT.
Knights Of Pythias Likely to Hold
Conx ention There.

HNnt0uSS OF yI1IdS k-lNOIy ~
Convention There.
Special to Republican.
Davenport, March 24.-It seems more
than probable, again, that Davenport
will have the pleasure of entertaining
the knights of Pythias Grand Lodge
of Iowa, and the state encampment
of the uniform rank of that order, next
Augusta dual gathering that would
bring $500 people here, most of them
for an entire week.
Some time ago this meeting was Of
fered to Davenport and local Pythians
were 10th to take it on account of the
necessary expense that must be met
in providing tents, music, ETC., for the
encampment. 1t takes about $500 to
provide for the 400 or so of uniformed
Knights who will come here to camp,
and to show some little courtesies to
the 1000 knights and their wives who
will be attracted here for Grand Lodge
and encampment week. AS the visi-
tors pay their own expensese, however,
the meeting leaves so much money in
the city In which. it is, held that the
movement to have it held here ought
to have a hearty support that would
relieve the local Pythians oil any finan-
cial burden.
Word comes to the Davenport
lodges from all over the state that the
Iowa Pytllians want to come here this
year. They had such a fine conVen-
ton and encampment here six years
ago, that they want to try 1t again.
They won't let Davenport say No
to the offer of the meeting, and there
is a growing sentiment among the
local Knights in favor of inviting
the Grand Lodge and encampment
here, If business men will assure them
of their support and cooperation in
making the meeting a success.

Now Sherman, / fear you may return

you might then lose your head and
only God knows what the result would
be.
NO; you shall not leave this office

FIND HUMAN BONES
No Longer Any Doubt That F. J. Laur-
ance Lost His Life in the Fire
Which Destroyed the Cereal Mills
at Cedar Rapids-Body Almost
Consumed.

| Special to Times Republican.
| Cedar Rapids, March 24.-There is
no longer any doubt as to the fate OF
II. j. Laurance who has been missing
since the recent fire at the cereal
mills. He lost his life as result OF
the explosion and fire, and yesterday
| the workers In the ruins, found the
| fragments of some of his bones. They
have been identified by DR.. Ristine as
human bones, and the workmen VINO
dug them out hardly needed medical
testimony to tell them that the bones
they were taking out were parts OF
recently burned human body.
Some of the bones We're found early
Yesterday forenoon, when the workmen
had dug down to the cement floors
at the foot of where the winding stair
way in the feed house used TO pe.
They found three little pieces. The
search was continued all day and late
Yesterday afternoon other pieces of
bone were found. There is not great
quantity of them. All the pieces so
far found could be put into q good
sized cigar boz. But there are enough
to determine beyond the possibility
Of a doubt the manner in which Laur-
ance met his fearful death. He was
imprisoned in that stairway, after the
explosion, and was all but cremated
by the roaring flames on that dreadful
night.
Near where the bones were found.
practically at the same place, there
was found small mass of what seems
to be molten silver, probably the res
idue Of what once was silver in Laur-
ance's pockets.
A fragment or two Of bone Yas
found as late as 5:45 last night, and
then, as it was growing dusk, the place
was carefully covered and the fur
Their. search deferred until daylight this
morning. The coroner has been noti-
fed. and DIR. w. S. King, deputy COR
oner, will make an investigation this
morning, his father being confined to
his bed as a result of blood poisoning
of the finger.
Ever since the night of the fire the
officials of the American Cereal Com
pany have been endeavoring to find
the body of Laurance. Early on the
morning following the fire it was dis
covered that he was missing and it
was feared that his body was in the
| ruins.

Webster City.
w. j. Zitterell and C. 2. Atkinson,
we'll known Webster City contractors,
went to Waterloo to submit bids for
the construction Of the Carnegie librar-
les to be erected in that city. The Ii
braries to be erected are products of
the donations made by Andrew Carne-
gle for that purpose several years ago.
At first the donation was made in a
bunch, but the citizens being unable
to agree upon a location for one build
ing, a library board was appointed, and
with the assistance OF the city council,
it was decided to divide the donation
and build two buildings, one on either
side of the river. The building on the
east side will be erected at the corner
Of Fifth and Mulberry streets, at a
cost approximating $4,000; the one
on the west side will be erected at the
corner of Fourth and South streets, at
a cost Of $1,000.

of health officer, was the victim of a
brutal hold-up on Federal and Lee

that the panel was safely housed for
the night, and repaired to his home.

LeClaire abruptly touches the c., r. l.

wood shops, he was assiailed by sew
eral men, one of whom felled him to
the ground with blow from a cudgel
dealt upon the head. The fellow who
dealt the blow repeated it thrice as

scalp and a bad abrasion on the ear.
He fell unconscious to the pavement,
where he was found later. His
valuable watch was taken by the ban
dts together with some change.
When restored to consciousness Mr..

A. GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE.
About "Blood Purifiers and "Tonics.'

About "Blood Purifiers" and "Tonics."
Every drop Of blood, every bone,
nerve and tissue in the body can be re-
newed In out one way, and that is,
from wholeboine food properly digest
ed. Theredsan other way and the idea
that a medicine in itself can purify
the blood or supply new tissues and
strong nerves is ridiculous and on a
par with the fol-derol that dyspepsia
or indigestion is germ disease, or that
other falls.cy, that week stomach which
refuses to digest food can be made to
do so by irritating and inhaming the
bowels by pills and cathartics.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets cure in
digestion, sour stomach, gas and bloat-
ing after peals, because they furnish
the digestive principles which weak
stomachs lack, and, unless the deficien-
cy Of peI,sin and diatase is supplied. it
is useless to attempt to cure stom-
ach trouble by the use of tones, I"
"pills" and 'scathartics," (which have
absolutely no digestive power, and their
only effect is to give temporary
stimulation.
One grain Of the active principle in
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
5000 grains Of meat, eggs and similar
foods, and experiments have shown
that they will do this in a glass bottle
at proper temperature, but of course
are much more effective in the stom-
ach.
There is probably no remedy so uni
versally used as Stuart's Tablets, be-
cause it is not only the sick and ailing,
but we'll people who use them at every
meal, td insure perfect digestion and
assimilation of food.
People who enjoy fair health, take
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets regularly,
as they take their meals, because they
want to keep WELL prevention is better
than cure, and Stuart's Tablets do
both; they prevent indigestion and
they remove it where it exists. The
regular use of one or two of them after
meals will demonstrate their merit and
EFFICIENCY better. than any other argu-
ment. 90.
