FARM LAND AND PAVING CAUSE
Last Year There Was Scarcely Any
Farm Land Sold and This Year Sow
enty Parcels Were Sold for Taxes
Paving Taxes Responsible for Larger
Sales in the City.

County Treasurer Cooper has COM
pleted the footings of the recent tax
sales, and it is found that in the sale
Just closed the receipts from real es-
tate in the county, sold for delinquent
taxes, are larger than for several years.
The amount received by the treasurer
was s4,6s5.95. Responsible for the eN-
ira large sum are two causes, the larg-
er sale of farm lands and the sales
made because of paving taxes that
have not been paid.
AS compared to a year ago the re-
ceipts from tax sales this year were
larger by the sum of $1,550.5S. In 1905
paving taxes made the tax sale larger
than for several years, and s3,135.37
was received In 1904 the amount re-
ceived was s2,7O414; $3,951.71 in 1903.
and s2,69S.OS in 1902.
Last year there was scarcely any
farm property sold, while this year
there were seventy pieces. In all 220
pleceS VI property were Solu lol taxes,
$50 being in this city. The greater
number of city pieces sold We're for
paving taxes that have not been paid,
pending the extended paving controv-
ersy. The owners have three years In
which to redeem their property, but a
penalty Of 8 per cent attaches from
date Of sale.
Il. R. Moore, Of Cedar Rapids, was
the heaviest purchaser, bidding in

Augustine, of Albion, was the second
heaviest purchaser, buying In the sum
of $1.100.93.

Stomach Sufferers
Squander Millions
In Search Of Relief.

The world is full CT disordered stom-
achs and 80 per cent Of the money
spent upon physicians and drugs goes
in an attempt to cure the stomach
People are made to believe that IN
order to gain health they must doctor
their stomachs and use cathartics. SO
the doctor gets his fee for the stomach
treatment and the druggist for the
physic, until the savings Of a life time
are exhausted and vet no cure.
Let's be reasonable.
The sick stomach is In every case
the result of over-eating, hurried mas
tfcation and improper choice Of foods,
The mucous lining all the way down
the food tract loses its sentiveness,
and when food is forced down the
muscles fail to respond. They do not
churn the food as they should. The
glands no longer give out gastric juice
to dissolve the food and render 1t ca
pable OF assimilation. The man has bes
come a dyspepstic.
There Is one sure way and only one
10 bring positive relief. Put into that
stomach OF yours The very elements
that 1t lacks to get that food Into liquid
form. It takes pepsir. disastase, golden
seal and other ferments to accomplish
this. The healthy stomach contains
these elements. The dyspeptic stomach
lacks part or ell q. them. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet is made up Of just
what the dyspeptic stomach lacks -
natures digestives.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not q
medicine, not drug, nor cathartic.
They do not cure anybody of anything
hut dyspepsia and Indigestion and such
ailments as arise from poorly digested
food. e
While they digest the food the stom-
ach recuperates. The mucous mem
brane is coming out of its stupor,
the gastric juice is coming to the sur
face, the muscles are regaining their
power. Every organ Of the body takes
on new life, the skin gains color, and
the eyes are no longer tinged with
yellow. You live.
Why doctor and why drug yourself?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will take
care OF your food while Nature cures
you.
Try box at your druggists, 5o.cents.

before buying, send your name and adj
sdress today. F. A Stuart, Co.. 6S Stu

urban can hope to receive any benefit
ate with the cost it will be to him.
At the present stage of the agitation
the property owners, the tax payers,
have the decision of this matter in
their own hands, but once let major
ity Of the resident property owners
sign petition for an election, wheth-
er they sign under q correct or In
correct understanding Of all the terms,
the matter passes out OF their hands
into the hands of the council and the
voters at large After these petitions
are signed then the matter is referred
to the voters as whole, and we know
that in many cases of this kind fran
chise has been granted with the help
of the votes Of those who are not in
terested financially in the matter Of
taxes.
Every tax payer should consider
carefully as to whether or not. the
benefit that he is to receive will be
equal to the cost that this line will
be to him. Every citizen who is in
favor OF the city securing the control
of the commercial lighting system
should consider the fact that should
this proposition be carried, that 1t will
be practically impossible for the city to
go into commercial lighting with any
assurance Of success for the next twen-
ty-five years. Yours respectfully,

F, w. Hargrave sos North Third

afternoon made agent for the company
at Cedar Rapids. The appointment,
which is promotion. came unexpect-

Hargrave to report in Cedar Rapids at
once. He went to Cedar Rapids in the
evening.
Mr.. Hargrave's successor has not yet
been appointed. F. H. Peck, chief clerk
to Superintendent F. j. Adams, OF
Omaha, arrived in the city Thursday
night to remain in charge of the office
temporarily.
Prior to a few years ago Mr.. Har-
grave was cashier in the Cedar Rapids
office for two years. Later he was
transferred to similar position in the
Des Moines Office and while there he
was made agent Of the local office.

Fourth Municipal ownership is too

would have to either pay Jones and

should buy Jones and Hovey out and
make the improvements which Mr.

PALMER is LIKED.
Maquoketa Paper Speaks in Highest
Terms Of Retiring Superintendent.

WdQuOkCId G0PSIl SRO&NS ~ soSUSos
Terms Of Retiring Superintendent.
In announcing the election Of Mr..
Aaron Palmer, Of Maquoketa, as super
intendent Of the schools of this city,
to succeed e. L. Coffeen, the Maquo-
keta Excelsior speaks in most compli-
mentary terms of the retiring super
intendent. The people of Maquoketa
feel that while they deeply regret the
departure of Mr.. Palmer from the local
field, they are glad that he has been
given an opportunity of accepting a
larger field, afforded by his election by
the Marshalltown board. The Excel
sior says:
"Mr. Palmer will probably assume
his new duties the first of the year,
altho half promise was received by
members Of our board from the COM
mittee, that ample time would be given
to fill his place here, even If it should
keep him until June. 1t is not likely,
however, that such will be the case.
Mr.. Palmer has been superintendent
of the Maquoketa schools for nearly six
years, and his work has given the very
highest satisfaction. He found the
schools in a very unsettled and unsat-
isfactory condition, and with quiet per-
sistence set about to unity and correct
matters. He has materially raised the
grade of scholarship and has kept his
teaching force working in harmony
with the board and the scholars. Keep
ing up to date by constant study, no.
only during the school period, but in
vacation time, by such methods as go
ing to, Harvard for special work he
has been able to make a record here
which will be difficult to surpass.
'fIn common with the board and the
entire community we will exceedingly
regret to lose Mr.. Palmer, for in adj
dition to his excellent work in the
schools, he has been a valuable citizen.
He has been an interested and active
member Of the Commercial Association
board, the Base Ball Association and
the local K. of P. lodge. The interests
Of the community have been his inter-
ests and his loss will be keenly felt.
Mrs. Palmer also has made herself felt
in local society and club circles, and
there will be sincere regret that our
city is to lose this excellent family, but
the increase in the opportunity for
work and in salary amply justify Mr..
Palmer in accepting the proffered po-
sition"

of the shock threw Mr.. Parker forward,
and his forehead struck a live wire,

COURSE WILL PAY PROFIT.

Self-Supportinq.

Y. M. G. A. Entertainments More Than
Self Supporting.
There will be no deficit this year in
the Y M. c. A. entertainment course,
unless some unexpected difficulties
should arise. The receipts of the
course have already exceeded the total
cost of all the entertainments and the
rent Of the church where they are
given. The total receipts of the course
to date have been slips, and the ex-
penses S1,100. The expenses include
the cost Of the talent for the four num-
bers to be given later in the season,
also for the rent OF the church for
the entire six numbers. Four more en-
tertainments yet remain to be given.
and 1t is thought the course will pay
from 500 to 5000 above all expenses.
The single seat sale for the Marc en-
tertainment alone was almost 500.
