yurx Has Leatherwood Case.

The jury in the case or K. l.. lSeatn- erwood, the attorney who is charged with assault with intent to kill VIII Denson, another attorney, sent for Judge Weaver today and informed him that they could not agre. Judge Weav- CT replied that he expected such infor- nation but he did not receive the in formation in the court and if there is no decison by tomorrow he may dis charge the jury and order a mistrial. The case went to the jury last night. Considerable interest has been taken In the case because of the prominence of all the parties concerned. Charges were preferred before the State bar association and against VIII Denson. It is stated that Col. w. II. Denson pre- ferred the charges against Leather wood while the last named preferred the charges against young Denson.
 Leatherwood was met one day on the street by Will Denson and was struck on the head with a piece of iron pipe. Leatherwood came near dying from the injury that was inflicted. Some tune later Leatherwood and Will Denson met again on the street and Leather wood shot Denson.
 The trial was most exciting from start to end. It was asserted thab ef- promise of differences and avoid trial In court This was not accom- plished and the cause was entered into. During the trial Judge Weaver im- posed fines for contempt on two at- torneys and one witness, Considers ble feeling was aroused in the trial.

HAPPENINGS IN IOWA
NEWS OF THE WEEK THROUGH.
OUT THE STATE.
Wealthy Guthrie County Farmer Ar
rested on Suspicion of Having
Murdered Charles R. Neal on
a Farm Near BasIey.

Ed Chambers, one of the wealthiest
farmers in the northern part of Guth-
RE county, has been arrested charged
with the murder of Charles R. Neal,
who was found dead on farm near
Bagley. Chambers is a bachelor and
Neal had resided on one of the Cham
bers farms for years. Recently there
is said to have been more or less trou-
BILE between the two. Chambers ar
rest followed thorough investigation
by Sheriff Brown. 1t is claimed that
the bloodhounds placed on the trail
started to the Chambers home, which
is about mile and half from where
Neal lived. Chambers, who is a
crack rifle shot, is said to have been
seen with rifle on the day that Neal
was killed. Other evidence against
Chambers will not be divulged. Cham
bers is about sixty-fve years old and
has lived in Guthrie county for about
fifty years. He and another bachelor
brother make their home together, the
brother also being very wealthy.
Chambers was Meals landlord for
seven years. Chambers engaged E..
r. Sayles to defend him.
Chambers was indicted by the grand
jury at Guthrie Center for the MUIR
der of Neal
The action of the grand jury was
based in part on the statement of Mrs.
Neal that she had seen man "she
helfaUed woS Chamhorcb 1oifarip o.
about in ambush near where Neal was
at work just before he was shot. Mrs.
Neal also testified that Chambers was
the only man with whom her husband
had had trouble, and that their rela-
tions were very bitter. The bullet
which made the wound was of the
same kind as is required for a rife
which Chambers is alleged to have
carried the day Of the murder.

They Stand Alone.

Standing out in bold relief, all alone,
ana as q conspicuous example of open,
frank and honest dealing with the sick
and afflicted, are DIR. Piercc's Favorite
PRESCRIPTION for weak, over-worked, de-
racked women, and DR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the famous remedy
for weak stomach, indigestion, or dys.
pepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness, all
catarrhal affections whether of the
stomach, bowels, Kidneys bladder, nasal
passages, throat, bronchia; or other mu-
for all diseases arising from thin, watery
or impure blood, as scrofulous and skin
affections.
Each bottle of the above medicines
bears upon its wrapper a badge of hon.
esty in the full list of ingredients COM
This frank and open publicity places
these medicines n, a class all by them
sclpes, and is the best guaranty of their
merits. They cannot be clasSed as patent
nor secret medicines for they are neither
being Of k',o1c1o composition.
DIR. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full confidence
and lay all the ingredients of bis medi-
cines freely before them because these
ingredients are such as are endorsed and
most strongly praised by scores of the
most eminent medical writer's as cures
Tor the diseases for which these medi-
cines are recommended. Therefore, the
afflicted do not have to rely alone upon
DIR. Pierce's recommendation as to the
curative value of his medicines for Ger.
tain easily recognized diseases.
A glance at the printed formula on
each bottle will show that no alcohol and
no harmful or habit-forming drugs enter
into DR.. Pierce's medicines, they being
wholly compounded of glyceric extracts
of the roots of native, American forest
plants. These are best and safest for
the cure of most lingering, chronic dis
eases. DIR. R. V. Pierce can be consulted
FREE, by addressing him at Buffalo,
N. Y, and all communications are re-
garded as sacredly confidential.

A Red Hot Bolt.

Wallace E. Sherlock OF Sigourney,
writing to the Sioux City Journal
from which the following extracts
we're taken, explains just the way the
matter stands from standpoint of
If republican management at the
present time. He says:
Ws demand that the state of Iowa
now be saved from Cumminsism, and
IL it is not we will see to 1t that sew
eral of the Iowa congressman are re-
tired and will do our best TO defeat
the entire state ticket.
You need not say that If Cummins
is not nominated he will bolt and the
whole ticket, congressman and all,
will go down In defeat. Let them go
down in defeat. The retirement of
Gump9ins will be victory more inn
portant to US and to the farming In
terests OF Iowa this year than the
election OF q few eongressmen.
Supposing that we do go down in
defeat this year. Had we not better
lose q few congressman this year chan
to postpone the fight two years and
then elect democratic electors? Had
we not better clean house now and be
in shape to save the usdonal ticket
then?
Gentlemen, it is up to you to save
Iowa. You have it in your power to
do so and we demand that you use
that power. II you fail to use that
power given you by the farmers no
man that you seek to save by selling
out to Cummins will be elected.
Suppose that you sell out to the
farmers now to save congressman
or two, what assurance have you that
the Oumming rascal will stand by the
congressman IL defeating stand
pat congressman now will make q
place for q Cummins slave two years
hence, you may rest assured that the
Cummins forces will do all In their
power to defeat that congressman
