TUSCALOOSA GIVES
 MONEY FOR THE JEWS
MORE THAN $2oo RAISED FOR THE RUSSIAN RELIEF FUND-DEATH OF MRS. FANNIE B. MATTHEWS. CRIMINAL COURT IN SESSION.

Tuscaloosa December 5.-tSpecial)-- Mrs. Fannie Baker Matthews died at her residence In West End last Sunday night,
 the cause of her death being a tumor which she had had for number of years, The funeral occurred this morning at
 the Methodist church in Northport, where Mrs. Matthews will be buried. Mrs. Matt hews' death comes as an especially sad
 event for the reason that her husband
 died only a short time ago, and they had been married only a little more than a | year ago.
 There has been considerable amount of money subscribed here for a fund for the relief of the suffering Jews in Rus | sia by citizens, mainly Jews, of this city l Victor Friedman, one of the committee 1 in charge of the subscription. has re-
 ceived acknowledgement of the receipt of check for s2OO from MT. Jacob Schiff, | treasurer of the national committee
 There Is some money still on hand for
 the same fund and the subscription is
 still growing.
 i There has been issued a call to the
 members of the Baptist church of this | city to meet this afternoon at the Sun
 day school rooms for the purpose of talk
 ing some action on the recent damage to <, their church by fire. It Is understood | that the church will be immediately re- | paired and put in possibly better con | dition than it was before the injury. The regular criminal term of the coun- | ty court Is in session this week. The | case being tried by this court now is the | William Logan case, capital one. Judge 1 Foster is incompetent to try this on ac- l count of having been solicitor at the time
 of the indictment. and Judge s. II. Sprott.
 the circuit judge, is trying the case in his stead Tomorrow the case against Wall Hunter charged with the murder of A. J. Lindgren will be heard. Hunter | having been indicted for this offense at | the last meeting of the grand Jury. | Tuscaloosa people learn with a great l deal of regret of the untimely death of
 Robert Boyle of Birmingham. MT Boyle was a student in the university here about ten years ago, and his winning l personality and whole-souled bearing to- ward all who knew him made him one of | the most popular students, with both old | and young, that ever attended the uniyer- | sity He was also one of the most gen. l erous friends that the Athletic association | of the university had. always contributing | largely more than his share to this asso- | citation every year. His death Is very | generally deplored by a great number of people here.

A Great PhysioIogist Once Said That the Way to Keep the Stomach Healthy
 Is to Exercise It.
But He Did Not Tell How to Make 1t
 healthX.

But lie DId MOI IeIl HOW 10 Make ir
 Healthy.
 The muscles of the body can be de- veloped by exercise until their strength has increased manifold. and a proper amount of training each day will ac- complish this result, but 1t is somewhat doubtful whether you can increase the digestive powers of the stomach by eat ing indigestible food in order to force 1t to work.
 Nature has furnished us all with a perfect set of organs, and If they are not abused they will attend to the busi- ness required of them. They need no abnormal strength. There is a limit to the weight a man can lift, and there is also a limit to what the stomach can do. The cause of dyspepsia indigestion and many similar diseases is that the stom- ach has been exercised too much and 1t Is tired or worn out. Not exercise but rest is what if needs. To take something into the stomach itself will relieve 1t from the work for short tfme-something to digest the food-will give it rest and allow 1t time to regain it's strength. The proper aid to the digestive organs Is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which cure dyspepsia indigestion. gas on the stomach and bowels, heartburn. palpita- tion of the heart, and all stomach dis eases.
 Rest and invigoration is what the stomach gets when you use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. for one grain of the active principle in them Is sufficient to digest 3000 grains of food.
 The Tablets increase the flow of gas- tric juice, and prevent fermentation. scidity and sour eructions. Do not attempt to starve out dyspep- sia. You need all your strength.
 The common sense method Is to di- gest the food for the stomach and give 1t a rest.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do not make the cure, but enable the organs to throw off unhealthy conditions.
 Perfect digestion ,.ieans perfect health. for nnder these conditions only do the different organs of the body work right and receive the building-up material found in pure blood.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are nat ural remedy and are a specific for stom- ach troubles. The ablest physicians pre- scribe them.
 The Tablets are pleasant to the taste. and are composed of fruit and vegeta- ble extracts. golden seal and pepsin

Got a Square Meal
(San Francisco CalD

The pale and emanciated man
who entered the restaurant
hurridly took his seat at a table
and awaited the approach of a
waiter with evident anxiety.
When, at last, one came he gave
him his order without a mo-
ment's hesitation.
Bring me everything" he
said, in tones whose evident
eagerness could not conceal the
evident weakness of the poor
wretch.
The waiter was nonplussed.
"Here is the bill of fare" he
finally said.
ooh, dern your menu! Bring
on the grub, and bring lots Of
it. Never mind what it is"
"But our bill of fare is ex-
tensive, and"
"That's it! That's what |
want! Bring it all on"
So the astonished waiter de-
parted and brought whatever
he could lay his hands npon.
And the pale, emanciated
man ate! He ate three kinds
of soup, three varieties of fish,
seventeen entrees, four roasts,

Christmas.

Monday was a most beautiful
day, clear and bright, and had
more the appearance Of a Sun
day than otherwise. Business
was generally suspended, and
but very few people appeared
on the streets.
Saturday was more like the
Christmas day, so far as cele-
bration was observed. The va
rious churches held their Sun
day School exercises on Satur-
day evening, and scattered pres
ents among the scholars with a
liberal hand, to the great de-
light of the receivers, and it
was hard to determin which was
the happiest, those who gave or
those who received.
Sunday came in clear, and
the churches held their usual
services, but no Large congre-
cation gathered to- hear the
Word, the young being more
interested to see old San
ia Clause then to hear prerch-
ing, and the older class were
busy preparing to receive their
invited guests, as many Of our
citizens entertained. and the.
day was set apart for renewing
old acquaintance and making
new ones. Gifts were distribu-
ted with a liberal hand, and
but few homes in this city that
failed to see old Santa Clause,
or to know that he had been at
their home.
Some left for other parts to1
visit friends, and some HON es

BOARD MEETING
ATTRACTS CROWD.
Joint Session 81 Mcncna and
Harrison County Boards
At Onawa.

Onawa, Ia, Dec. 26. The
joint ditch meeting of the Mon
ona and Harrison county boards
today to act on the assessments
levied on the big Monona-Har-
rison ditch drew the largest
crowd that has ever appeared
at a ditch meeting in the coun-
ty. The court room was crow
ded and there are twice as
many people as usually appear
at the district court. There is
a large attendance from Harri-
son county of interested land
owners and attorneys. Judge
Addison Oliver opened the SEES
ion with a short address on
some of the inequalities of the
assessment for some of his
neighbors. He was followed
by Messrs. Arthur, b tier and
Fallon of Harrison county and
C. D. Undertree of Onawa as
to the best methods in taking
up the cases. The boards final
ly decided otake up the Harr:-
son county cases first. and the
first objections introduced was
that of McCullock, followed by
Oden ct. al. 1t looks now as if
the session of the boards would
last the balance of the week at
least, and it is likely to be a
tedious proceeding. A. Lam b,
supervisor of Monona county
acts as chairman of the joi1 t
boards, and G. w. Atkinson
auditor of Harrison county as
clerk.
PA. Sawyer of Sioux City
and A. Lindall of Onawa APP
pear for the ditch pc tisioners,
and there are many attorneys
for the DIRECTORS. The Chica-
go & Northwestern is repre-
sented by Attorney Hise of
Des Moines.
There is great interest taken
in the proceedings and the
court room does not afford seats
enough for the people. AS the
contemplated improvements
will cost 100000 or more be-
fore the work is completed, the
assessments are being very
carefully investigated.

FOR A NEW MOTOR LIME
CHARTER Oak To Be TERMINUS
Dsnison MiCht Catch On


Charter Oak Times: Several
towns in this region are bidding
for the motor line to be built
this way from Missouri Valley,
but CHATTER Oak has the proper
lay of land aud will get it if we
try to get it. Talking last Sat
urday with Isaiah Siglin, who
recently visited a region where
an electric line was doing bust
ness, he told us some things
that have been a query to US.
The first question was as to its
effect. He says the better
towns like Charter Oak and
Woodbine would be materially
benefited, while the small sta
tions" are badly injured. The
tendency is to overcome dis
lance and make a few good
towns instead of lot of poor
ones. On the other hand the
farmers are benefited from the
fact that every crossing is a
station, and the farmers can
ride the car to town cheaper
than they can hitch up.
Mr.. Siglin also told us of Wis
iting with a man who heard
this Willow Valley line dis
cussed by bunch of capital
lists year or more ago. A
great many believe the North
western people are behind the
project, but this can be nothing
but conjecture.
The route proposed is out of
Missouri Valley to the north to
the Willow valley, thence up
that stream to Magnolia, a
thrifty inland town that needs
road badly; thence over to
Woodbine and back to the Will
low; thence up the valley north
ward to Charter Oak. From
here we have no data upon
which to form even a guess.
As talked at present Charter
Oak would be the terminus.
The business men and capital
lists of Missouri Valley are hot
after the road, and we believe
it will be pushed through next
year.
The motive power as consid-
cred is not the electric trolly,
but a gasoline motor applied to
each car like an automobile en-
CINE. This is new thing, but
is said to be both cheaper and
more satisfactory than cleo
tricity.

The Missouri Valley bowling
team went to Blair last night
and played the team of that

their treatment by the Blair
boys. The following is the

Mrs. John Sunderman and
daughter, of Council Bluffs, are
in the Valley for a week, the
guests of the Schlagenhauff
family.
Mrs. Harry Harvey of Logan
is the guest of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. G. P. Smiley. Her
little son, Edgar, is quite sick.
Harry e. Dole and family re-
turned to Stewart, Neb., this
afternoon, after a Christmas
visit with Mr.. and Mrs. A. G..
Dole, parents OF Mr.. Dole.
VIM. S. Kelly, of Mondamin,
was in the Valley yesterday. He
will have a Grand PolIed Angus
Cattle Sale in this city, at the
fair grounds, sometime next
March, at which time he will
sell some forty head of his fine
Polled Angus.
Mrs Orr and sons will enter
tain the Union and Harris
Grove Farmers clubs on Satur-
day, Dec. 30, and we predict a
jolly time for never did two
more sociable bodies meet.
They throw off all formalities
and meet with a warm hand
shake that makes one feel good
for weeks. These clubs are do
ing much to build the morals of
the community, for we noticed
when we visited the club that
every article read and every
recitation, even by the least
little tot, all had a moral for
good.
George Dimmick, of Beebee-
town, says he came very near
being run over at the Ninth
street crossing Sunday. He
and his wife were going home
from church, and he says that
when he came to Ninth street
the crossing seemed to be open
and as he saw no flagman he
drove onto the crossing and a
freight train backed in and
came within a foot If catching
bis buggy. He says the city
council should require the rail
road company to keep gate
crossings at that place, as it is
a dangerous crossing.
C. c. Cole, of Colorado, is
visiting relatives in the Valley
for a few days.
The morning choir of the
Presbyterian church presented
Mrs. Green at Christmas time
