ter. with the members of the national
committee and distinguished guests in

At the last moment is was decided
to carpet all the aisles with a grass
mating to deaden the sound. This
expedient was resorted to during the
memorial services held several years
ago o nthe occasion of the death of
President Mckinley, and it was found
that in consequence the speakers
voices reached to the remote quarters
of the building.
Six thousand five hundred chairs,
good stout ones, have been purchased
Thy the committee to supplement the
opera chairs that now are in the build
ing. The chairs are made with view
of the probability that their occupants
will want to stand upon them and pos
sibly jump up and down during critical
moments.
Every convenience for the represen.
tatives of the administrative force of
the convention has been foreseen by
the architect, and provision has been
made also for committee headquarters
and rooms for officials.
Mr.. New will call a meeting of the
subcommittee on arrangements for
Friday, when a start will be made on
the work of apportioning the delegate
seats, and this always has produced
an argument, as every state demands
front seats. Later a meeting of the
entire national committee will be call.

PEOPLES PULPIT.
Better stick to Your Party.

Editor Courier: l notice in read
ing the primary law that, Judging
from what it says, man had better
stick to his party when it comes to
voting at the primary June 2.
Before voter can get ticket to
vote at the primary, he has to go on
record as to what party he belongs to.
An accurate record must be kept OF
the kind Of ticket he calls for and
gets and votes.
Suppose a Republican should call
for and get a democratic ticket and
entered in the democratic list. Then
suppose sine time in the future, he
wanted to be a candidate on the Re-
publican ticket for some Office.
wouldn't it be rather embarrassing
for him to have the record. sprung on
him showing that he was democrat
in June, 1908?
Naturally, it will work just the
same with democrat voting a Re-
publican ticket at the primary.
Suppose a democrat should call for
Republican ticket and vote it at the
primary; that puts his name in the
Republican list. Then. when he want
ed to run for Office, or wanted an ap.
pointment, if democratic president
should be elected this fall, he might
have a hard time getting endorse.
ments, with record showing that he
was Republican this summer.
After looking at the matter on all
sides, 1t seems that the only way for
the voter to do, is to stick to his party.
If he breaks over he is making IL
hard for himself, for If he ever wanted
to be a candidate. the other aspirants
for the same office in his own party,
would use it against him, and his en-.
dorsement for a political friend would
handicap that friend instead of benefit
ting him. Primary Voter.

talks with him on his legal and per-

left it's traces upon her, but she still
maintains her attitude of confidence
as to the final outcome. Thaw's stay
in the county Jail has been much of a
relief from the hardships Of life in
the Matteawan insane asylum, and the
Tombs, and his appearance today
showed marked Improvement from the
haggard and worn look he uad at the

There was report outside of court
that If Thaw is released he will be re-
arrested on the ground that he has
made threats against woman and a

Gall Stones
Their Cause and Removal
Why Surgery Fails to Cure

1t has been proven by Investigations
Of Mintz Mignot and many others that
gall stones are formed by misco or.
ganisms that find their way from the
intestines into the gall bladder
through the common bile duct. There
must be diseased condition Of the
bile duct and obstruction to flow off
bile in order that these micro organ
isms can find their way into the gall
bladder and form gall stones. The
treatment by which Drs. Myerly &
Kreul. the specialists in the Hoffman,
building have cured large number
of cases in Ottumwa, not only absorbs
the gall stones but first destroys tho
micro-organisms producing them. 1t
is to the latter effect mainly that this
remarkable success of their treatment
is due.
Surgery removes the gall stones,
but does not remove the cause that
produced them. A woman was oper-
ated on three times in this city last
year for gall stones. The last opera
tion proved fatal to both gall stones
and patient.

Sentence.
ENTERED BOX CA

Harry Graham, convicted of break
ing and entering Burlington box
car in March and stealing a quantity
of beer therefrom, was sentenced to
the penitentiary at Fort Madison by
Judge Vermilion today. The sentence
is under the indeterminate law and
carries q penalty Of ten years for the
crime of breaking and entering a
car.
Attorney 10 Jacques for the defense
made motion for new trial today,
stating what he thought to be errors
in the Instructions of the court. This
was overruled. Mr.. Jaqnes then stated
that he thought jail sentence would
be sufficient punishment for Graham,
Ibut when County Attorney Cornell
\ said that Graham had served time
previously for felony, Judge Yer
million stated that he thought the pen
itentiary was the place for the prts-
oner.
Judge Lectures Prisoner.
IT believe you should have been In
the penitentiary on the night that this
robbery was committed" said the
court. "By your own statement you
were in very bad company, and I
don't see why young man of your
apparent ability should associate with
the, lowest beings Of the city. Your
liberation from the penitentiary will
depend largely, If not wholly, on your
conduct while there, but will say
that your Incarceration will be greatly
less than the maximum established
by law"
