Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City, Oct. 29.-By order or
Judge Lee, of the district court, next
Saturday afternoon at o'clock
a motion offered by the defense
for a, new trial in the MackoWn case,
will be argued If this is granted
then the verdict now standing against
Mackown will of course be set aside
and the case will be retired Whether
or not this would come to trial in this
county is not known, but it is prob
able that change of venue VIII DO
granted. On the other hand If the
motion for a new trial is overruled
then there would be nothing left for
the court but to pass sentence. In
this latter case the defense would
likely appeal to a higher court. This
would mean that Mackown would have
to go to prison until the case could be
reached on the docket by the supreme
court.
It is understood that If new trial
is granted by Judge Lee next Satur-
day, an effort will be made to release
Mackown from confinement by secur-
ing bail. 1t is understood that several
gentlemen in this city have stated that
they would go on Mackown's bond in
this case. The bail required by the
court prior to the trying of the case
was $1,000. This is the same
amount as that required in the en-
bezzlement case, but no doubt the
court would fix new amount in
the arson case, should the verdict
be set aside and new trial granted
1t has been stated by one of the
attorneys for the state that the trial
for embezzlement would in all prob
ability be assigned within a few days
by Judge Evans of the Webster county
court. which convened at Fort Dodge

Mr.. A. c. Brock, chef Of the Brock
Restaurant, Market District, Boston,

Cooper's theory and medicine, has this
to say: II had chronic indigestion for
over three years. I suffered terribly,
and lost about thirty pounds. / was a
physical wreck when I started this
Cooper medicine, a month or so ago.
Today I am as well as I ever was in
my life. I am no longer nervous, my
food does not distress me in the least,
and I have a splendid appetite. I am
gaining flesh very rapidly-in fact, at
the rate of pound day. I would
not believe any medicine on earth
could have done for me what this has
done. 1t is a remarkable preparation

FACE FULL OF SHOT.
ottun,wa Business Man Injured Thru
Hunters Carelessness.

Ottumwa, Oct 29.-Henry Pallister,
well known business man of this
city was the victim of an accidental
shooting while fishing, that proved to
be narrow escape. AS a result of the
poor Judgment Of an amateur marks
man his head and face were literally
filed with bird shot from the dis
charge of shotgun.
Mr.. Pallister had spent the morning
fishing near Peck's pond on the south
side of the river in the lower part OF
South Ottumwa. About noon he con-
cluded to quit the sport and go home.
He was climbing up the bank from
the stream along the side of which
there is heavy growth Of high weeds
and brush. On nearing the top he
was bewildered to know what had
struck him until the report of gun
followed close upon the sting about his
face. Fourteen shot took effect.

The first Presbyterian church dedi-
| Gated their fine edifice as a house of
worship last Sunday. Being absent
from town we were not able to attend
the services, but from the reports we
have learned that they were a COM
plete success. The weather was fine
and everything else seemed to turn
favorable for the occasion. Altho the
edifice holds a large congregation, 1T
did not begin to hold the crowd, and
it was found necessary to hold serv-
ices outside in the churchyard at the
same time that they were being held
in the building. The Missions-fest In
the afternoon was also well attended
and the sum of $241.00 for missions
was collected during these meetings.

and when he went to look for his rig
it was gone. No trace Of it has been
seen tho vigorous search was con-
Quoted for couple Of days. 1t takes
considerable nerve to take mans
horse and drive off with it in broad

Sioux City stands in a position t,

Sioux City stands 10 a position to
become something of a factor in the
grain market of the northwest
made so by reason Of the fact that
the Rosenbaum Grain company has
decided to establish itself in business
at that point and erect a large
elevator. Heretofore Sioux City has
been something Of a leader in the
stock market and it looks like 1t
ought to be able to cut some. figure
In the grain market. 1t is in the
heart OF a great grain district, and
1T looks reasonable that 1t can turn
into food products all the grain that
is raised in its vast surrounding
territory. The Rosenhaums own
immense elevators in manv Of tie
largest grain centers of this county
and their coming to Sioux City may
prove a large factor III the grain
business Of the northwest. 1t would
afford South Dakota a close shipping
point and a consequently better
market Here's hoping that Sioux
City in the few years to come will
be buying South Dakota grains and
giving the farmers better prices for
theil food stufs.

Lawn Tennis Tournament.

One of the hottest contests played
on the tennis courts of the Crescent
club took place Friday evening be-
tween Ray Smith and Ora Wells, and
they we're fighting every inch Of their
way through the three sets which
were played to decide the match. The
first set was long drawn out, in
which some pretty cross court and
back line plays were seen, while the
passes at the net were not infrequent
from both players. The first set was
won by Smith by a score of 1913. The
second set went to Wells. 60, and
he won the third set by a score of
60. Guy VanAlstine and Downey
also played off their match in the
semi-finals, which Downey won in
two straight sets, the score being 6-3,
81. VanAlstine showed up in good
form, but in playing a net game
Downey lobbed successfully to the
back line
The finals in the Crescent Club
tournament were played Tuesday
evening between Wells and Downey.
Monday evening Wells won two sets.
6-l, 6-3, and Downey o two sets,
GA, 60. The deciding set was won
by Wells by a score Of 6-3. The en-
tire match was fought hard and it
resulted in some good plays through
ous, although both PLAYED a careful
ard steady game. The championship
will be played off between Branson
and Wells.

Governor Crawford's civil service
ideas are the kind that will operate
to the benefit Of the governor when
ever he see tit to apply the rule.
The governor has demonstrated the
effectiveness of the rule Oh several
occasions much to the discomfort OF
many OF his political friends. In
some casessshe bad-proniscd the same
job to two or three PARTIES and when
they wanted a show down, the gov
ernor brought the civil service rule
to back him up in net delivering the
goods. When he wanted to get rid
of an offending stalwart the civil
service rule was quietly put on the
shelf and the machinery worked sue
cessfully to the end that eventually
a good %insurgent got the Job that he
wanted. While this can bay done
successfully right along, yetkit is
going to make a hard road for the
governor to travel during tile next
campaign.

In his Sacramento speech on the
occasion OF opening the irrigation
congress Vice President Fairbanks
did not give much encouragement
to the idea that he might support
President Roosevelt, but he conveyed
the impression that it was his m
bition to occupy the presidential
chair himself. The vice president
is not making a very great hit along
that line and we are inclined to the
belief that he is wasting a good deal
of energy in trying to impress the
people that he is entitled to the dis
tiEction. With the people IN general
it is Roosevelt or Taft.
