He referred to a notable contest in
a state convention at Dubuque where
a state official was nominated by one
Iowa railroad, and this had the effect
of arousing the people to condition
which was deplorable. 1t had been
the custom for years for the railroads
to name the candidates for leading
positions in the state. Then came the
battle over the famous Temple amend

showed the conditions in the state. 1t

adoption of that measure that the

We guarantee the action of Kodol. Please note
the offer below.
We claim that kodol does all that healthy
stomach can do. That it dgests any food at once
and completely.
Please prove this at our risk. Eat what you
need of the food that you want, and note how
kodol acts. Note the absence Of pain, of fermen-
tation, of gas
Don't doubt facts that great deal to
you, when they are easily proved.
There many ways to digest part of the food
but Kodol alone digests all Of it.
Pepsin dgests albumen, but not starch fat
So the many digesters depending almost solely
pepsn are only partial helps.
complete digester must be liquid, for
of the needed elements can't be given dry. They
must be preserved in glass
That is why Kodol is liquid, like the digestive
juices. The result is it's action is instant. 1t
begins in the mouth, by starting the flow Of
saliva.
The cure of indigestion requires, above ALL that
you relieve the stomach.
TONES and stimuants only spur 1t to action,
like whipping a tired horse Weak organs
never gain strength by forcing.
But digestion is necessary, else the food grows
hard and irritates the stomach lining 1t fer
ments. and forms gas, and breeds germs. 1t de-
Gays and loads the blood with poisons And all
the food that fails to digest fails to nourish you
Your digestive powers bound to grow
weaker SO long as those conditions continue.

Anamosa, April 23.Marshal Ed
Knott, of the northern district of Iowa,
made an official visit to the Anamosa
reformatory and calling into consulta-
ton a couple of physicians, conducted
an investigation into the condition OF
ID. A. Gilliorary. The action was taken
upon the order of the attorney general
of the United States.
And this Investigation brings to light
a most unusual and exceptional case.
In 1895 Gilliorary, about whom nothing
is known was convicted in the federal
court at Sioux City of counterfeiting.
At that time federal prisoners were be-
ing sentenced to the Anamosa peni-
Tertiary, and it was the order of the
for two years. Before the expiration OF
his sentence he had become insane and
was transferred to the insane ward,
where he has been ever since. The
government knew of the mans condi-
ton and has been paying the state for
the care of him.
A few days ago an order came
from the attorney general of the United
States to make an investigation and
report upon the condition Of this man,
evidently with the expectation of or
dering his removal to the government
insane asylum at Washington, d. c.
Marshal Knott found that the man was
not only "a driveling idiot not even
knowing his name, but that he was
dying of consumption, and probably
has not more than three or four
months to live. The only words that
could be gotten out of him We're Nova
Scotia, and for this reason it is be-
lieved that he originally came from
that country. The man is evidently
about 40 years OF age.
Mr.. Knott will report to the depart
ment accordingly, with the recon-
mendation that he be left where he is,
believing that he could not even sur
vive a trip to Washington.

night of February Sth. This is the
