The, Evils of Consultation

are many II fact almost every serious
illness has its origin in constipation, and
some medicines, instead of preventing
constipation, add to it. This is true of
most cathartics, which, when first used,
have a beneficial effect, but the dose has
to be continually increased, and before
long the remedy ceases to have the
highest effect. There is one prepare
ton, however, that can be relied upon
to produce the same results, with the
same dose, even after fifty years daily
use, and this is Brandreth's Pills, which
has record of over 100 years as the
standard remedy fore onstipation and
all troubles arising from an impure

POPLAR STREET FIGHT
Assessment Cases are on Trial Be-
fore Judge Quinn.
from Fridays Da

From Fridays Daily.
In the district court today the legal
ity of the reassessment of the benefits
and damages resulting from the grading
of Poplar street was fought out. Two
of the property owners are fighting the
city on the matter, the AIather estate,
represented by Ambrose Tighe of ST.
Paul, and w. L. Barnard, represented
by Judge w. L. Comstock. City Attor
ney Daley is appearing for the city.
The Mather estate claims that the as
sessment is excessive and illegal, while
Mr.. Barnard claims that as his lot is
some distance beyond the graded por-
ton of the street he should not be as
sessed. The city claims that the assess
ment is perfectly legal, and no more
than the cost of the improvement, and
follows the practice sometimes used of
assessing the benefits beyond the por
ton of the street graded where the resi-
dents beyond must use the graded street.
The action is being tried before Judge
Quinn of Fairmont. 1t is said that MIR.
Tighe has subpoened Judge Cray as one
of his witnesses
The case of the Mather estate against
the city was settled this forenoon be-
fore it was called for trial. The estate
is to pay $500, of the original assess
ment of $3.50 The payment is to be
made by Jan, 10, the case being held
open until then. The Barnard case is.
to be submitted upon briefs, by an.
agreement between the attorneys.
Judge Cray today filed a decision i'll

Mayoralty Contest to Supreme Court.

Clear Lake faces worse contest
over it's municipal officers than ever
before in it's history. The fight for
the office of mayor became so bitter
that attorneys gave notice that the
case of Young VS.. Olson for the pos
session of the seat will be appealed
to the Iowa supreme court by Olson,
who had lost in the district court and
turned the Office over to his opponent
after holding it year. Public senti-
ment beteen the two factions remains
the same.
Not content with this, trouble broke
out in a new direction, and one of
the liveliest campaigns in the history
of the city is on. The clash is over
the choice for school director, the
fight again being between the Young
and Olson Olausen factions, resulting
in victory this time of the Young
candidate by a bare majority of seve n
votes. The Rev. Mr.. Stenby. n Metho-
dist minister, won out over l.. G..
Hollister, a prominent business man.
The total vote received by Stenby
was IA, while Hollister secured 1877.

ILLEGAL Quail Hunter Fiaed.

Fred Freddy, fifteen year old lad
living in Vinton, probably figures by
this time that quail hunting out OF
season is an expensive sport.
On January 20 in company with
John Clifton he went out to the f. n.
Anderson farm in Big Grove and shot
ten quails. Game Warden Lincoln,
of Cedar Rapids, was mp yesterday
and filed information against Friedly
and he was arrested and taken before
Squire Bryant. The information
contained ten counts, but ON account
of the boys age he was allowed to
plead guilty to two counts, the fine
and costs amounting to $43. 35.
The law in this matter is very
severe and had it not have been fol
his tender age, he would have been
convicted on the ten counts and fined
over 5000.

est musical comedies DEBORAH has ever
seen. Unlike many plays of this
character, it has real plot with
plenty of life, and there were some
real actors with the company. The
chorus was large and exceptionally
we'll trained, the scenery and lighting
effects were superb, and in fact, every
department of the big production was
complete and highly satisfactory. The
play was witnessed by an audience
which nearly filled the theatre.

she lay unconscious from the shock

Shot al His Wife.

Henry Muchow, residing on a farm
two miles north of town, is Jail &C.
cupant at present on the serious charge
of sho )ting at his wife as she fled from
their home Monday evening, relates
the Waukon Democrat. She reached
the Kaeser place in a greatly excited
condition and upon acquainting the
household of her husbands frenzied
actions, Deputy Sheriff Swebakken
was notified by telephone. He drove
to the Muchow home at once and
found that individual pacing nervous
ly about the docryari. He submitted
to arrest quietly and was brought to
town and lodged in jail. Upon being
searched small bottle of carbolic
acid was found in his coat pocket
which he admitted purchasing with
view of committing suicide. His
wife related later that he had re-
peatedly threatened to make way with
himself in this manner. 1t appears
that Muchow attended the funeral of
Mrs. Sanders Monday afternoon, act
ing as one of the pail bearers. Upon
returning to town he observed that
his brother had arrived on the train
from Postville and he at once sought
the Stock hardware store and pur-
chased a 32-caliber revolver 1t
seems that Muchow had become pos
sessed of the idea that his wife re-
garded the brother with undue
affection which she vehemently denies
and from what can be learned her
husbands accusations are absolutely
groundless. The brother accompanied
Muchow home, but the latter's anger
soon started row. and the brother
was elected bodily from the home

children, the oldest of which is not
