Des Moines, Oct. 14.-On motion of
County Attorney De Graft, Judge
Brennan Saturday dismissed the case
against Former City Detective Frank
Brothers, and the latter will never
again be compelled to stand trial for
the shooting of 12year-old Howard
Whittell.
The story of the little boy, with
blood dripping from his wounds,
dragged thru the streets and alleys by
police officer twice his size and many
times as strong, stirred the people of
Des Moines. There was a clamor for
the removal of the officer and for his
punishment. Brothers stay on the
force after the shooting was brief. but
his second trial was put off from time
to time, and now he is to escape all
punishment, for with the motion to
dismiss are filed affidavits from the

Do Your Meals Fit?
Do You Feel Snug and Comfortable
Around Your Waist Line After
Hearty Meai2

DID your last meal taste deliciously
good to you, and did you eat all you
wanted? Could you have patted you1
rotundity in glec ind felt proud of your
appetite and Of your good strong stom-
ach? Do you feel rosy now because
your last meal gave you no inconvenl-
ence whatever? If not, you have dys-
pepsia In some form, and probably
never realized it.
If you have the least trouble in your
stomach after eating, no matter how
little or how much you eat, there is
trouble brewing and you must correct
it at once.
Most all stomach troubles come from
poor, weak, scanty gastric juice, that
precious liquid which ought to turn
your food into rich red blood.
If you have nausea, your gastric juice
is weak. IL you have sour risings or
belcfings, your food is fermenting;
your gastric juice is weak. If you have
loss of appetite, your gastric juice is
weak If you have a bloaty feeling of
aversion to food, your gastric juice is
weak
You need something in your stomach
to supply the gastric juice which is
scanty, and to give power to the weak
gastric juice. Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets do this very thing.
Now tfink-one grain of one of the
ingredients of these wonderful little
tablets dfgests 5000 grains of food.
They are several times more powerful
than the gastric juice in a good, strong,
powerful stomach. They actually di-
gest your food for you. Besides, they
Increase the flow of gastric juice, just
what you need to get all the good pos
Esible out of everything you eat You

In your stomach nor any other stom-
.ach trouble after taking Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets. Then everything you
eat will be digested, it will give you
strength, vim, energy and rosy dis
position. You'll feel good all around
your waist line after every meal and
1t will make you feel good all over.
/, STARTS Dyspepsia Tablets will make
you feel happy after eating a good,
hearty meal Take one or two after
eating You'll feel fine-then your
meals will fit no matter what or when
you eat

PROBABLY NO GUARD ELECTION

Regular Army Footing.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. Alt is probable
that the National Guard will abandon
it's scheme Of electing all its officers
when the brigade organization goes in
to effect Jan. II.
The plan is to put the organization
on the regular army footing, giving in
definite commissions to officers and
providing for their promotion exactly
as it is done in the regular army,
where election of officers is never per-
mitted.
OF course the constitution of Iowa
provides that the officers of the militia
organization of the state shall be
elected by the men in it. But it is
proposed to have the companies elect
the second lieutenants. Second lieu
tenants, in this way, would eventually
be majors and colonies, and one event.
ually would be the brigadier general
so that the exact terms of the consti-
tuition would be satisfied, for all Of
ficers would have been elected.

his clul' Was slated to play another
outfit IN the city of Omaha. ON this
latter team was the once celebrated
twirlcr Dad Clarke. who was then on
his last legs as far AS baseball play
ing was concerned.
Griffith, who tells the story. says
that the swattcrs on his club had Il
merry time of it with Dad Clarke that
day for everything that the one-timc
star slabman would send up those
husky western lads would lambast.
Poor Dad was working like n Tro

that no one would have ever taken him

But this didn't help him any. and
that famous drop ball of his, which
used to- be terror to the major
league batsmen when Dad was in his
prime. seemed to have no effect on
the striplings that day. They simply
tried to knock tho fence down with
the balls served by Clarke.
Finally along about the eighth In
ming. when the score was something
like II to .. one big westerncr caught
an outcurvc of Dads on the end of
his bat and the hall sailed away far
over the center field fence.

miles east of Milwaukee. Acting on
the tip Cantillon took the boat ut
