Heart
Weakness

The action of the heart de-
ponds upon the heart nerves
and muscles. When from any
cause they become weak or ex-
haustcd. and fail to furnish
sufficient power, the heart tlut-
tiers. palpitatcs. skips beats;
and in its effort to keep up its
work, causes pain and distress,
such as smothering spells,
short breath, fainting, pain
around heart, arm and shout
ders. The circulation IS i'm
peded, and the entire system
suffers from lack of nOurlsh-
ment.

heart strong and vigorous by
strengthening these nerves and
muscles.

Sluns Of the Times.

For long time this city has
been much in the position Ut the
street waif looking into the win
dow of the house mlrlh. Many of
four sister towns have been invited
guests therein and they are rapid
Iy growing larger, beautiful and
rich from much feasting We had
the relish, the appetite, the will,
but not the passport till now.
Alexandria, Monroe. and Lake
Charles, all behind us in 1900, now
way ahead We have often been
amazed at their willingness to i'm
pose upon themselves repeatedly
heavy tax burdens for the acqui
sitiOn of new roads and for inter
nal Improvements. When meas
ured by our ability to carry such
burdens, we marveled
"OppOrtunity" is now knocking
at our door. The Henshaw road
is fact--no longer "A hope and a
speculation. 1t proposes to be a
factor in our commerce this fall
Our planters may plant heavier
I 70
suits must show an increase under
any ordinary condition. With the
new road will come new opportuni
ties for Investments and new in
duStrie.
' Is. a new section will be
served and its latent forces aud
wealth will be hushanded. New
people and new thought will fol
low and it can be readily under
stood and forseen chat a magic
change will result in almost every
staid condition of the past.
This road asks for site for round
house and marchine shops, d
we believe, this people fully ap-
preciates the advantages of such a
privilege.
1t viii! be a new field Of emyloy
ment to a very desirable class of
labor. 1t will be a regular dis
tr;butor of money into the local
channels of trade money drawn
from an outside source and paid
out here. If the proposed shops
employ no more than % finished,
master wOrkmen, the effects would
be great. There mt st follow
three times the number of
intermediate and common labor
workmen. This would give us 100
heads of families, with employ.
ment and certain pay throughout
the year. Taking the families at
an average OF five m embers each,
we have an increase in population
of 500 people at once, a
people not dependent upon local
conditions alone for their liveli.
hood, but spending their earnings
here. This increased population
will call for other bakers, butchers
gardeners, merchants, amusements
etc, till the number would again
double. The possibilities in this
direction alone are progressive
and great.
The second new road is asking
for privileges and favors of this
city. If right Of way is grant
ed and bonus given, pred
icated upon special tax, this
road-the New Orleans, Crowley
and Northwestern, will build
through this city. 1t strikes us as
being good prOposition-just
what New Iberia has been looking
for and we doubt not that it will
b 9 encouraged. The acquisition
Of this road would give this city
three trunk lines, each of them a
part of vast system.
New Iberia, thus, finds herself
at once thrust into a position of
achieving greater things. She
must arise to the Importance of the
occasion and demonstrate her oft
boast of progressive spirit. Natu
raj opportunities are many and
rich in promise; these must be de
veloped, now that the means are
presenting themselves.

Jimmie" Gardner Denies Attempted
Outrage in Council Bluffs, However.
Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs. Aug. 3.-"Jimmie"
Gardner, we'll known colored char
acter here, admits that he effected all
entrance Sunday morning into the
home of Elmer Robertson, but denies
that he attempted an outrage on the
person of Mrs. Robertson, and claims
that his visit to the place was for the
sole purpose Of robbery. Mrs. Robert
sons own story of the episode seems
to confirm Gardeners claim in this re-
spect, as she states that he choked
her warned her not to scream and
then walked away without further
demonstration.
Gardner was overtaken and captured
at Blencoe, thru the aid of telephone
bulletins from the local police station,
admitting that he was the intruder at
the Robertson home Gardner says that
he visited four other places in town
for the purpose of burglary. He does
not know whose places they We're, but
from the directions given, the police
feel quite sure that his admission ac-
counts for some of the cases on Har-
rison street.
Gardner says he is going to plead
guilty all the way thru and rather ex-
presses the hope that he may be hur-
ried to the pen. 1t is quite evident
that he is somewhat nervous over the
fear of having to face the more serious
charge and is dead anxious" to be
convicted as a burglar.

Yesterday ID. Il. Regain. of the Regain
and John W. Budd, civil engineer,

liminary talk with the business men of
the city in regard to the proposed ex-
tension of the Des Moines Boone, Fort

The gentlemen named arrived in the
city the day before and drove over the
route. Their mission to the
the securing of the right of way. Ac-
cording to their statements the build
ing of the line seems to be practically
certain now. the only thing necessary
being the securing of the right of way.
Messsrs. Regain and Budd state that
the construction and equipment of an
electric interurban line will be about
SIT, 900 per mile. and that the extension
from, Boone to this city will cost in the
neighbor hood of 100000.
The route mapped out by Messrs.
Regain and Budd enters Hamilton
county in Marion township in section
IS, thence the line takes a northern
direction, deviating slightly to the
eastward and entering the town OF
Stanhope where the Northwestern road
is crossed. From Stanhope the line
takes a northern direction and crosses

Grnnell, Aug. 3-The party Of young
ladies chaperoned by Miss Stella Bart
lett, who have been camping the past
week at Mattesons grove, returned
home Wednesday afternoon. An accl-
dent which might easily have proved
more serious occurred at the close OF
a delightful week. Two very steep
hills just below the grove caused the
trouble. The hayrack loaded with
camp equipment made a heavy load.
In descending the first hill the pole
iron holding the ring on the neck yoke
broke, letting the wagon forward
against the team. throwing the driver.
Part of the load slipped off onto the
horses backs. They started to run ana

some time for complete recovery. The
injured young ladies we're brought to

pened by shortly after the runaway, in
his auto and medical aid secured. Miss
Lawrence remained on the wagon and
was uninjured.

dence up to about five years ago was
at Iowa Falls He was engaged in the
livery business, the receipts from
which he WIS said to have augmented
by the sale Of Intoxicating liquors
without q government permit. The
bootlegging department of the estab-
lishment having fallen under the dis
favor Of the federal officials Good
enough found it necessary to leave
Iowa Falls between two days, so his
wife says. Having failed to live up to
his previous name, he concluded to
change it, and G. Henry S. Smith was
the selection he made.
Ever since 1901 Goodenough has been
q resident of Weston and vicinity, and
there he made the acquaintance of Mae
Scott, daughter of farmer living in
that vicinity. On January l, 1902, they
secured a license to wed and the cere-
mony was performed by r. T. Bryant,
then justice of the peace They have
been keeping house for Walter Clary,
on farm near Weston, and Smith has
been working for him.
About two years ago Mrs. Gooden-
ough came to this city and stopped at
the Neumayer hotel, where she had a
conference with her husband. She had
known of his being in this vicinity, but
did not know that he had married
again,nor did he tell her. She besought
him to come back to her and the two
children, ore of whom at the time was
10 years Of. age and the other 3. He
would not agree to return to Iowa Falls

Not knowing she had been tricked,
Mrs. Goodenough went back to Iowa
Falls, packed UP and took her children
to Wisconsin. Smith kept putting her
off with one pretext and another until
finally his wife came here again to as
certain why he did not keep his
promise. She found evidences of his
infidelity and on looking thru the mar
riage records in the office of the county
clerk, saw the record of the license and
the certificate of the justice who per-
formed the ceremony.
Then she filed an information against
him and he was arrested. He conclud-
ed there was no use of his losing any
good time in the middle Of harvest and
waived preliminary hearing. He was
bound over by Justice Gardiner and his
bond was fixed at $1,000.

CORPSE IN SEWER
Laborers at Muscatne Make a Ghast
Iy Discovery, Parts Of Buried Body
Being Thrown Up While Digging for
an Excavation.
,ecial to T,mes-Repub,ican.

Special to Tlmes-Republican.
,Muscatine. Aug. 3.-Considerable ex-
citement was caused here by grew
some discovery made by party of la
borers eXcavating for the sewer near
ST. Mary-s parochial school. Ned
Cortz. one of the laborers, was digging
at depth of about nine feet when he
unearthed the bones OF a mans leg. He
did not pursue the investigation any
further than was absolutely necessary
for the excavation of the sewer, and
the remainder of the body was not dis
turbed. The bones that were uncov-
cred We're thrown up and covered with
the dirt thrown out of the ditch. and
will be replaced when the sewer is
filled in again.
The discovery of the bones caused
some little furry among those who
made the discovery and few interest
ed spectators who were attracted to
the spot, and some were for digging
up the entire remains of the body and
notifying the authorities of the fact,
but it was not thought necessary by
those connected with the digging, and
nothing was done in the matter.
How the body came there or who 1t
could possibly be is matter OF mys-
terry to all, as there has never been a
burying ground near the place and
nothing is known of any one having
been buried there at any time. From
the appearance of the limb that was
taken OUT the body had been buried
for many years.
