BANKER AND POLITICIAN,
COMMITS SUICIDE

found dead in bed this morning. He
had been the object of an INVESTIGATION
at the hands of the states attorney,
the two banks and his congregation,
on tho gravest charges and his death
is presumed to be case Of suicide.
Wife Finds Body.
The body was found by the dead
mans wife when she called Simmons
to breakfast A letter found beside
him showed that death had been pre-
m editated. He said this was his last
night on earth and wanted to leave q
message of undying love to all. 1t

Governor Yates nor his associates. He
simply gave me the opportunity which
his opponents and my enemies have
prevented my using" The last line,

this vacant plat of ground beside the

travellers through Ottumwa could have

superintendent OF the Ottumwa divi-
sion OF the Burlington declared himself
as to Ottumwa. Mr.. Allen arrived
here Sunday, but in company with
other officials Of the Iowa lines, toured
the Ottumwa division yesterday. He
returned to this city last night, and this
morning took a small sized glimpse at
his future residence. He expressed
satisfaction with the many excellent
establishments of Ottumwa and
made mental notation of the
fact that it contained a few
better enterprises than his former
residence in Illinois But he was dis
satisfied with the blank space opposite
the Union depot. "I'm afraid it will
impress too many tourists through Of
tumwa with the idea that Ottumwa is
simply an overgrown country town
with few large factories and a big
depot" continued Mr. Allen. II want
the patrons Of the Burlington when
they stop in this city or pass through
1t to be greeted with pleasant sight
instead of a stretch Of nothing"
Mr.. Allen has already fitted himself
to his new home, having met quite a
number Of business men and other
citizens.

PANY OF SUIT PENDING
ASK $4,000 DAMAG E
Petition to Ask Decree Of Court For
Specific Performance Of Contract
Whereby Janney Company Agreed to
Sell Building For $4,000 of Stove
Company Stock.

"A PCI1Ilou asking LIldG Inc court uc-
cree a specific performance of con-
tract wherein the Janney Manufacture
Ing company of Columbus, Ind, agreed
to sell and convey certain real estate,
is to be filed in the district court on
or before March s, according to an
original notice filed with the clerk of
the court late yesterday afternoon for
the Royal Stove & Range Co., by its
attorneys, Gilmore & Moon and F. G..
Orelup.
The notice also says that the petit
ton will ask for $4,000 damages on
account of the violation by the said
defendant Of its contract whereby 1t
subscribed and agreed to pay for $4u,-
90 OF the stock of the Royal Stove
& Range Co.. Of Ottumwa. The petit
ton also asks that the defendant be
enjoined and restrained from selling,

real estate or fixtures connected there
with.
Development in "Stove Deal"
The notice of suit is the latest de-
velopment in the stove works propo-
sftion that has been interesting OF
tumwans for the past several weeks.
The original proposition by which OF
tumwa was to secure the stove fac
tory located in Greenville, Ohio, was
as follows:
Ottumwa citizens to subscribe $40,-
600 cash for stock, the stove company
to have $4,000 in stock for its equip
ment and other assets. and $4,000 in
stock to be exchanged for the build
ings of the Janney Manufacturing Co.
in Ottumwa. The $4,000 was sub
scribed by local men and just when
the factory seemed assured there was
a hitch in the proceedings, some of
the stockholders in the stove company
discovering that they did not care to
move the plant from the Ohio town.
Reason For Filing Suit.
After several conferences it seemed
that the deal was again about to be
closed, but for the past several days
committee representing the preferred
stockholders in the Janney Manufac
turing Co. of Columbus. Ind, has been
in Ottumwa and it is claimed that the
members of this committee refuse to
exchange the buildings in Ottumwa in
which it was proposed to locate the
stove plant, for $4,000 in stock, but
instead demand $4,000 in cash. The
notice Of suit is said to be the result
Of the refusal of the committee from
Columbus to stand by the proposition
According to the understanding OF
Ottumwa business men the board OF
directors of the Janney Manufacturing
Co., Of Columbus, authorized G. Camp
bell Janney to transfer the Ottumwa
building for $4,000 in stove company
stock, but the preferred stockholders
refused to concur in the action Of the
directors, and the committee represent
ing The stockholders offers the build
ing for $4,000 cash as compromise
claiming that they are willing to accept
less than what they feel the building
is worth rather than become involved
J in any extended controversy because
of the refusal of the stockholders tc
agree to the terms made by the direc
tors.

Severely Injured.

Lying for over thirty minutes by the
side of a railroad track with both legs
broken on one of the coolest days in
the winter, was the terrible experience
of Arthur H. Myers, a Rock Island
brakeman, who was thrown from a
Rock Island freight Monday afternoon.
noon.
The accident occurred at 5:15 o'clock
about mile east Of Mt Zion while
No 273, the freight train on which
Myers was brakeman, was rounding a
sharp curve. Myers was riding on the
top of a high furniture car and losing
his balance on the curve, was hurled
with great force to the ground. He lit
on both feet, but the force of the
fall was so great that he suffered a
compound fracture of the left leg just
above the ankle, while the right leg
was broken at the ankle joint.
For thirty minutes he lay in the
celd beside the track waiting for res
cuers. How long it might have been
before ne was missed and party sent
back after him, will remain unknown
for by i lucky chance a farmer who
lived not far away from the place
where he had fallen heard his groans
and came to the rescue.
Mr.. Myers was taken to Mt Zion
and from there to Eldon. Yesterday
ing he was brought to Ottum wa and
taken to the Ottumwa hospital The
injured mans home is in Fairfield and
he is employed on the southwest
line, but was working as an extra man
on the Des Moines Valley division.

diseases.

ments caused from above disease be-
cause the treatment they received does
not cure. Most physicians fail to cure
because they follow the old (abandon-
ed by best specialists) mercury ana
potash treatment laid down in medi-
cal books. These remedies are Of no
use except in certain stages of the
disease and should never be given
alone. Specialists who write books do
not give their best treatment. If they
did physicians would not send them
their difficult cases.
We have cured cases in this city
during the past three years who have
made many trips to Hot Springs.
Our method Of treating blood dis
