Until 2 o'clock on that afternoon
Dickinson's bonds were nxed at $4,000
Bob King and George E. Bryan went
to Justice Duncan's court with bond
to that amount duly signed up. The
bond was refused. While looking it
over Justice Duncan declared that.
after discussing the matter with Coun-
ty Attorney Miller and with Chief OF
Detectives McNutt, he had decided
that in the light o. new evidence Sc
cured he would raise the bonds to
$4,000.
The two men were nonplussed. but
later filled out the bond for the larger
amount.
II am not at liberty to say what
this evidence is" declared Justice
Duncan, but I will say that it adds
materially to the strength of the case
and | believe that every due precau-
ton should be taken"
Justice Duncan's decision in the
matter met with general appreciation.
As Dickinson, pale and haggard,
walked from his cell. his beautiful
young wife of 26 years stood in the
corridor to greet him. Hardly was he
liberated from the iron bars than he
was clasped in the arms of the trust
ing little woman.

sity for calling out the National Guard

asked for information, and other citi'
zens there have been asked for the
facts.
Mr.. Houser, in his application, al
legged that the president and secretary
if the Civic league at Burlington had
been brutally assaulted by thugs, fol-
lowing a series of threats, and one, at
least, had been very severely Injured
by the assault; that they were attack
ed because they had begun the injunc'
ton suits against saloon keepers; that
thugs had laid in wait for him for
the purpose of assaulting him or put
ting him out of the way, because he
had been commissioned to prosecute
the suits against the liquor dealers;
that he feared to go to Burlington
without military protection; that the
local authorities at Burlington had
been supplied with the names OF the
thugs who were charged with the as
sault on the officers of the Civic league
but had done nothing looking to their
apprehension or punishment; and that
in view of the failure of the Burning
ton officials to do their duty and the
threats made against his own person

lington and Des Moines county have
informed Governor Cummins that the
local situation there is not OF charac'
ter demanding the presence OF the MIL

office is in receipt Of the following tele.
gram:
Burlington, Ia., Sept. 1S.-Our local

zens of Burlington the necessity for
the presence of national guardsmen
there does not appear to be immediate.

CUTICURA REMEDIES

aOur baby had that dreadful com
plant, InfantiIe Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top of his head, and at last covering
his vnoie 5odv. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, in fact,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable Of coping with the cese, and
after various experiments Of his, which
resulted in no benefit TO the child, we
sent TO Mazon, ILL.,, to O druggist and got
O full set Of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
TO improve immediately, and IN about
three or four days began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the frst time in year. In about ninety
da he was fully recovered, with the
exception Of a rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by n healthy one.
"Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that wa
could say in their favor, for they cer-
tainly saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that / ever beheld,
