PHYSICIAN is DISCARDED.
Dr.. w. L. Taylor, Of Des Moines, Not
Entitled to Practice.

Des Moines, Nov. 1S-The supreme
court yesterday decided that DR.. w. l..
Taylor of Des Moines is not entitled
to practice medicine in Iowa. He
claimed that he was entitled to practice
because he had been practicing for five
years before the statute was passed
which required all practitioners to Sc
cure certificate from the state board.
The prosecution against him was
gally entitled to practice during the
five years which he claimed was the
basis of his right to practice subse-
quently This contention the supreme
court sustains.
''He has never qualified under the
exceptions of the statute but was daily
violating the law" says the court. and
if his contention, that the change re-
ferred to in the law gave him the right
to continue in the practice without a
certificate of license be sustained, we
should have to hold that he had ac-
CURED such right by practice in viola
ton of law. Such holding would not
only destroy the public protection in
tended by the statute but 1t would Of
fer q direct premium for q practice
wholly in violation of such statute We
think it clear that the exceptions in
section .2579 was not intended to en-
brace and shield violators of the law.

the horse.
After his escape Valentine came to
Burlington and entering questionable
resort, cried for food, frankly admitting
he was an escaped convict. The Bur

chase began. Valentine was tracked to
New London, Iowa, where he had
stolen horse. From there he went
west, riding and walking. his prison
garb being concealed beneath overalls,

Webster City, Nov. 1S.-Webster City
has a woman member of the Black
Hand fraternity. l.. A. McMurray re-
ceived an anonymous letter, which con-
tanned dire threats against his life un-
less certain conditions therein laid
down were complied with. The letter
was mailed at the Webster City post
office on Sunday. The writer of the
letter directed that Mr.. McMurray
should deposit $4,000 on the piling at
the approach of the Northwestern rail-
road bridge in the northwest part of
town.
The money was to have been de-
posted near the bridge at = o'clock in
the evening. Mr.. McMurraYs first i'm
pulse on reading the epistle was to
ignore it. However. he later concluded
to confer with some of his friends and
it was then decided by them to go thru
the motions of carrying out the direc-
lions of the anonymous writer In an
attempt to apprehend the author of
the letter. In pursuance of this plan,
the local peace officers We're let into
the secret and made an attempt to
catch the letter writer. Mr.. McMurray
fixed up a package and left in the di-
rection of the place where the money
was to have been deposited. Constable
Filloon was dressed up with hat and
coat similar to Mr.. McMurrays and
made his way to the place where the
money was to have been left and where
he deposited a package similar to the
directions contained in the anonymous
letter, minus Of course the $4,000.
Three or four other officers were in
hiding near the bridge, and they kept
watch for two or three hours in
hopes that the party wanted would
make an appearance. However, after
the lapse of considerable time, they
made up their minds that it was use
less to stay longer and all went home.
The package deposited as a foil was
left, however, and next morning Con-
stable Filloor revisited the place and
found it had been taken some time
during the night. He also found, a
woman's tracks in the snow under the
bridge, where she had walked to the
place where the package was hidden.
He followed the tracks along the river
bank and found the tracks of, a man
who evidently accompanied the woman
to that point.
The letter written to Mr.. McMur-
ray is plainly the handwriting Of a
woman, altho 1t can be seen that a
great effort was made to disguise it.
This connected with the fact that a
woman went to get the package, re-
veals who the party is that wrote this
threatening letter. The officers are
very confident Of this and the only
thing which stands in the way Of the
arrest of the guilty couple is the fact
that the officers have no positive proof.

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Loss Of Appetite or Distress After Eat
ing a Symptom That Should Not
a. n;erao rIed

ing Symptom That Should Not
Be- Dsregarded.
Appetite is just natural desire for
food. Loss of appetite or stomach dis
tress after eating indicate Indigestion
or dyspepsia. Over eating is a habit
very dangerous to a persons good gen
eral health, and Unsuitable appetite is
a sure symptom of diabetes
1t Is not what you eat but what you
digest and assimilate that does you
good. Some of the strongest, heaviest
and healthiest persons are moderate
eaters.
There is nothing that will create
sickness or cause more trouble than a
disordered stomach, and many people
daily contract serious maladies simply
thru disregard or abuse of the stom-
ach.
We urge everyone in Marshalltown
who is suffering from any stomach de-
rangement, indigestion or dyspepsia,
whether acute or chronic, to try ReXall
Dyspepsia Tablets, with the distinct
understanding that we will refund their
money without question or Formally,
IL after reasonable use of this medi-
cine, they are not perfectly satisfied
with the results. We recommend them
to our customers every day, and have
vet to hear anyone who has not been
benefited by them. We honestly believe
them to be without equal. They are
made from the prescription of phys
ician who devoted all his time to the
study and treatment of stomach trou-
bles.. They give very prompt relief,
neutralize the gastric juices, strengthen
the digestive organs, create good d.
gestion and assimilation, naturally reg
ulate the bowels, promote perfect nu-
triton, and create a permanent cure
of all unhealthy symptoms
We urge you to try Csc box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives
Is days treatment. At the end of that
time, your money will be returned to
YOU If you are not satisfied. OF course,
in chronic cases length of treatment
varies. For such cases, we have two
large sizes, which sell for 45c and SOC.

Christian denomination was the relator
in the saloon cases. Several years ago
injunctions were issued against the
liquor dealers on the petition of Mrs.
Julia Myett, a Clinton woman. The
saloon men continued to operate their
places in defiance of these injunc-
tions, and their plea was that they did
not know the injunctons had been
granted, they having given Mrs. Myett,
$4,000, as they declared, to discontinue
her prosecution of the cases. The
judge held that this was nothing more
than a Matchmaking transaction, and
had no standing in the court, nor bear
ing on the case. and he assessed the
men 5000 each, with the costs of the
action.
