| West Union March o3.---Authorities
of Fayette county are convinced they
are working on clue that will land
! the murderer of Arlo Whitebeck be-
upward of so years of age and lived on
a farm two and half miles from
West Union, was brutally murdered
| last Wednesday night by man who
struck him five times on the head with
a sled stake. The aged man was
working about the barn at the time of
the assault, his body being found in the
yard by William Strickland. a neigh
Dor, who visited the Whitheck farm
d short time after the murder.
About the only clue that Sheriff
Culver had to work on was handful
of hair which Mr.. Whitbeck had
snatched from the head of his assail
ant. He set to work at once and with
picion. The fellow was seen lettering
near the Whitlocli premises about
$50 o'clock on the night of the muir
der and the same man was seen be-
tween 400 and 1900 o'clock We'd
nesday might at another point. He
was in muddy, bedraggled condition
and gave evidence of having travelled
rapidly on foot He was apparently
nervous. and Sheriff Culver had such
CT hn
that he sent out descriptions Of him.
Sheriff Culver received message
from the authorities at Trenton, S. D.,
that a man answering the description
of the one wanted at West Union had
been detained at Trenton. He was
nabbed about o'clock in the morning
While walking along the Milwaukee
tracks. The subject will be investi-
gated.
The murder of Arlo Whitbeck is be-
ing investigated by Coroner j. r. Cole
and a jury consisting of Sam Musser,
Will Dickson and E. E. Pitts.
1t was learned that Mr.. Whitbeck
had drawn $135 from the bank in Fort
Atkinson. and his pocket book was
found on his person empty. There
was Just one penny found in a pocket
There were five gashes on his head
from two to three inches In length.
from which the blood flowed profusely.
He had bunch of hair in his right
hand. and it is thought that 1t may
be a clue to the identity Of the MUIR
derer
1t was intimated here that the man
wanted by Sheriff Culver for the
murder of Arlo Whitbecl1 is not
stranger as many at first supposed In
fact IT. is said he is a near relative of
the murdered man. The name of the
party suspected of beating the old man
to death is being withheld until more
evidence is secured to establish his
guilt

NElGHBoRs AT WAR.
Geneva Mans Efforts to Secure Aban-
donment of Road UnavaiIing.

Special to Times-I-epuhlican.
Geneva, March 23.-Mr. S. Cole, who
lives one mile west of here on the out
skirts of Maynes' Grove, has antagon-
lied some of his neighbors and the sit
uation verges an open warfare.
A wagon trail leaves the public high
way In Maynes' Grove and makes
diagonal short cut for the timber own
ers who have wood in the southeastern
part of the grove. This trail passes
thru the property of Mr.. Cole, who has
made many unsuccessful efforts since
he secured possession of the property
several years ago to have the trail dis
continued, but without success. He put
up fences, but these We're cut.
Last week. with the advent of spring
and the recession of winter frost, Mr..
Cole met with loss he hoped to turn
to his advantage. and in his attempt
to accomplish his purpose he partially
buried in the trail the carcas of a steer
that died in his feed lot in such a
manner as he thought would turn trav-
ell
For a few days the obstruction had
the desired effect and Mr.. Cole had
the satisfaction of seeing many loads
Of wood diverted from the old trail.

IA. Moines. March 23.-Enough
democratic county conventions IN Iowa
have been held to indicate that While
the Bryanites will probably control, the
OPPOSITION will be sufficiently strong 10
cause the Nebraskan trouble in the
state convention which meets in CEDAR
Rapids Thursday.
The Bryanites expect to adopt the
Nebraska platform, in substance ana
instruct the delegates at-large to vote
for Bryan at the Denver convention.
mt they are not sanguine about their
ability to send all Bryan men to the
convention. Some OF the dlstrlces axe
controlled by the conservatives.
IT IS probable that Jerry B. Sullivan
md Claude r. Porter will be put on
the delegation at-large without oppo-
sitton. Judge Martin ]. Wade may go
on and possibly Gen. James B. weaver
ar Dan Hamilton. Some other names
have been mentioned, but. prooaoiy
from these men will be selected the
democratic big four.
In the districts controlled py the
conservatives the Bryan men expect TO
see selected to go to Denver men VINO
have no sympathy with Mr.. Bryan OF
the movement he represents. They eA-
meet a repetition of the experience at
ST. Louis four years ago, when some
members of the. delegation abandoned
Mr. Hearst's interests. tho the Iowa
delegation was instructed for him.
No contest except that on delegates
at-large viii come before the CEDAR
1sapids convention. No effort will be
made to forestall the primary law by
nominating candidate for senator.
Claude r. Porter will be the temper
ary chairman of the convention, and II
is nrobable that John Denison Will be

IMPORTANT IOWA RULING.
Possession of Land Gives Title" Says
Supreme Court,

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. March 23.-Thc judg
ment of Judge Howe has been affirmed
by the supreme court in the case of
Frank Bradley against John Burkhart.
in which the latter was appellant. The
case involved "A three foot strip of
ground on one side of Bradley's lot
at GA Fourteenth street. Bradley
bought his lot about thirty years ago
and the strip in question ran under
meath his house. The surveys lately
made indicated that three feet of the
lot belonged to the owner of the adj
jacent property and suit was brought
to test the matter
The courts held that the long adj
Verse possession by Mr.. Bradley con-
firmed the title in him and so it was
quoted. But the important part of 1T
is that the decision stands for all of
the similarly situated property in that
section of the city, and 1t is said that
there is considerable of 1t.

LOW DITCH CONTRACTS LET.
Franklin County Board of Supervis-
ors to Be Congratulated.


Special to Times Republican.
Hampton March 23.-The board OF
supervisors of the county We're in ses-
sion five days of last week, consider
ing matters in relation to ditch work
in the west part of the county. Two
proposed bitches have been under con-
sideration by the board for many
months, the Scott-Hamilton drainage
district No. 8, and the Oakland and
Morgan township drainage district No.
2. The bitches are each to be about
five miles in length, and, together with
the open ditch and the lateral that
will eventually lead to these big ditch
es, vast area of the low wet land
in that part Of the county will be
drained sufficiently for agricultural or
grazing purposes.
March 20 was the day advertised for
the opening of bids for the performance
of the work Several bids We're on
file, and the successful bidders were:,
For the Scott-Hamilton project, West
Bend Drainage Company West Bend.
75s cents per cubic yard, for the Oak
land and Morgan ditch; Indiana Drain
age Company, Thompton, tx cents per
cubic yard. 1t is estimated by the
engineer in charge of the work, that
the removal of 100000 cubic yards of
material will be necessary in the con-
struction of the first named improve
ment, and $4,000 cubic yards in the
second.
It is stated that the members of the
board had expected the work to cost
considerably more than the prices
mentioned, and that they were agree
ably surprised upon opening the bids
to find them so low. The obtaining of
the low bids for the work is matter
upon which the board is to be con-
graduated as we'll as the land owners
of the districts, upon whom the tax
burden will not fall as heavily as was
anticipated.
1t is understood that the price for a
similar work constructed two or three
years ago in the same vicinity was
about II cents per cubic yard.

You will say perhaps, that you have tried d

You may have tried pepsin, but pepsin digests
only aibumen. You may have tried any of numer-

But kodo alone digests all of the food. 1t is

Don't Starve

Dieting is starvation to an extent. Your body re.
quires many kinds of food, and to limit the variety
means to rob some part Eat what you need of the
food that you want for Kodol will surely digest it
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-03-23

Help is thousand times more important, when
the stomach is weak. For imperfect digestion
means that you don't get food.
Let the stomach rest for time, just you must
rest when you wish to recuperate Thct is all that
is necessary and all that you can do.
Kodol alone contains all the digestive elemots.
And they are there in sufficient strength.
A tablespoonful, taken after meal, is enoogh to
digest it completely
This has often been proved by adding Kodol to
food in test tube. Keep the food moving, and
keep the temperature right, just the stomach
does Any sort of food, an, combination oe
foods will be completely digested.
Pepsin alone won't do that Other dis-sters
won't do It, The only way to possibly do this il
by the use of Kodol.
Our Guarantee
You may prove. without the risk of penny,
what Kodol can do. Buy one large bottle and ask
your druggist for the signed guarantee Il the re-
suits are not satisfactory, take tie empty bottle
back and your druggist will return your asoney.
This offer is made the large bottle only,
and to but one In family. That will amply plo owe
how much Kodol means to you. Then please tell
your friends who need this help how easy 1t is to
obtain It,
Kodol is prepared at the laboratories of E. q.
Dewitt & Co., Chicago. The s1.0O bottle contains
~ times ss much as ene t1c bottle
