SALOON MEN MUST PAY UP.
Desired to Test Right to Keep Open
and Court Informed Them.

Ottumwa, Ia, Jan. 23.-Four Ottum-
wa liquor dealers who claim they
kept their saloons open July A, 1908,
to test the law and find out whether
or not the day was a legal holiday
under the mulct law, were denied
remission of their fines by Governor
Cummins. The saloon men claimed
they kept open to test the law just as
business men in other lines sometimes
test the law. They showed that they
had consulted an attorney who adj
vised them that there was some doubt
about the matter. II was also shown
the governor that it had been neces-
sary for the people to raise a SUBJ
scription in order to prosecute the
cases and that Judge Roberts had
doubled the fine of one of the liquor
dealers because he had kept open
July 4, 1902, and had been fined then.
The citizens of this city and officers
OF the court were opposed to executive
interference.

No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by
the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t
gives the stomach perfect rest by di-
costing what you eat without the
stomach's aid. The food builds up
the body, the rest restores the
stomach to health. You don't have
to diet yourself when taking Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. J. ID. Erskine. of
Allenville, Mich, says, 81 suffered
Heartburn and Stomach trouble for
sometime. My sister-in law has had
the same trouble and was not able to
eat for six weeks. She lived entirely
on warm. After taking two bottles
of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure was entirely
cured. She now eats heartily and is
in good health. / am glad to say
Kodol gave me Instant relief" Sold

Effort to Rob Government Paymaster
Meets With Failure at Des Moines.
Des Moines, Jan. 21.-An unsuccess-
full attempt was made to wreck an
early Fort Des Moines car, supposed
to carry government cash to meet the
post payroll. An open switch on
high grade threw the car from the
rails, when it was barely prevented
from plunging down the high embank-
ment. Ida Stewart, colored, a domes-
tic employed at the post. was the
only passenger. She was thrown vio-
iently against the side of the car and
severely injured. 1t is believed to
have been the plan of the bandits to
cause the car to wreck itself at the
bottom of the embankment When
this failed they disappeared without
attempting to loot the contents. De-
tectives are at work on the case.

Do Not Suppress a Cough.

When you have cough do not try
to suppress it, but remove the cause.
The cough is only SYMPTOM of some
disease, and the disease is what you
should cure, then the cough will stop
itself. The most common cause OF
coughing is cold. Anody' es will
promptly suppress the cough, aud
preparations containing chlornform,
opium, etc, are used for that purpose,
but they do not cure the cold. Cham
berland's Cough Remedy on the other
hand does not suppress the cough, but

Cyclone in CataWba.

Hickory, (Special) "A cyclone Sat
urday afternoon at Rhodhiss, accompa-
MED by hail and rain, did considerable
damage to property, including GROWN 6
crops, for some miles in it's course.
The greatest loss was the destruction
of the new county bridge erected about
a year ago by Burke and Caldwell
counties at cost of $4,000. The
bridge is all down except its pillars,
which represent one-third it's cost. 1t is
thought pos bly, some of the iron can
be used for rebuilding. Under the
State law the counties will have to re-
build the bridge at once. One corner
of the RhodhisS Mil, rather the upper
part, was blown off, but there was lit
tie damage to machinery, said to be
between one and two thousand dollars.
Two or three cottages were damaged,
but there was no loss Of life so far re-
ported. The crops near the mills in its
course were considerably damaged
The gale crossed the Carolina &
Northwestern Railroad just above the
Cliffs but did no damage to the track.
The loss of the bridge will affect the
surrounding county for the time be-
ing. The telephone connections are
such at this writing that l am unable
to get further details.

The kajser's Motive.

Copenhagen. (By Cable)-The pre-
paTatiOns which have been made for
the reception OF Kaiser William, who
arrived here Monday afternoon, were
far from elaborate. During his stay
here the Kaiser will be received in
semi-OfIicial state. IN court circles his
visit will be taken as merely courte-
sy call upon King Christian and an eff
fort is being made to impress this fact
upon the people generally.
This attempt, however, has not met
with much success. as the people be-
lievc that there is some political move
behind tn visit of the German ruler.
In political circles the view is held
that ,he Kaiser will make an attempt
to convince King Christian that the
Baltic Sea should be closed to war
ships OF all nations except those which
nC"ler on the sea. II the Emperor sue
cecds in doing this. it will cause the
greatest surprise, for the Danes are
rapidly developing the suspicion that
the kaiser's designs upon the Baltic
are for the purpose of converting that
sea into a German lake.

A HORRIBLE DEATH
Young Man Swallowed Alive By q
Hungry Shark
WAS CAUGHT NEAR BEAUFORT, NC,

ing in the Water at Davis Shore.

Beaufort. y. c., Special--A most
horrible and shocking occurrence took
place at Davis Shore, about ten miles
east of Beaufort. Saturday afternoon.
when Sutton Davis, a 16-year-old lad.
while wading and playing in the water.
was suddenly attacked and eaten by
a very large shark.
Young Davis was in water about
waist deep when suddenly the shark
approached him, threw him in the air,
caught him as he struck the water,
pulled him under and disappeared in
the deep water with the boy. Thor
ough search has been made, but no
particle of his body has been found.
Those who were with the boy were
terribly frightened and could not help
him.
The occurrence has thrown a feel
ing of horror over our town. The
citizens and the guests of the commu.
nifty, particularly the children, have
enjoyed the fine dives and inVigor-
ating swimming matches which they
daily participated in.
large number Of sharks have been
noticed in the waters here for two
weeks, but no one felt much anxiety
on account Of the presence Of the ter
rible monsters. A large quantity Of
fat-backs have been caught this month
and a quantity of refuse matter has
been thrown back into the water from
the factories. and sharks have come
in to feast on it, It is the first time
a person has been molested by shark
in these waters in nearly so years.
