THE IDA GROVE SIDE.
Correspondent Says MarshaIItown
Team is Unjust in Criticism.

Correspondent Says MarshaIItown
Team is Unjust in Criticism.
A correspondent from Ida Grove, in
commenting on the complaint offered
by members of the Marshalltown high
school foot ball team, relative to the
recent Ida Grove victory, considers
that the LISTING players have unjustly
criticized the winners and DR.. Buckley,
the field Judge. The communication
follows:
"Marshalltown's complaint seems
rather strange here, as they all
seemed perfectly satisfied when they
left here, and their talk now about
officials and about the time being
juggled seems to have originated from
a desire to make some explanation
for their defeat to their home people
and that was the first thing they
thought of. DIR. Buckley, the field
judge, was born and raised in Harlan,
never attended school here or played
on the team, and in fact was never
in Ida Grove a half dozen times in his
life. He is an old-time star from the
Iowa university, having been a tackle
in 1902, and Marshalltown's talk now
does a grave injustice to a thorough
gentleman and true sportsman. AS
for the time, their own timer reported
there was time yet to play after Curry
booted the last goal that won the
game Ida Grove has always been
proud of the treatment accorded teams
here, and East, West and North High,
Council Bluffs and all other teams that
are really among the big ones will
say they have never received anything
but the fairest of treatment
after the insulting letter written
here by Marshalltown's principal. it
is certain that Marshalltown is wiped
off Ida Groves slate, and that the two
teams will never meet again. If Ida
Grove cannot win with honor, she will
not win at all, and she does not care
to meet teams that charge unfairness
when there is absolutely no ground
for such a thing. The fact of the mat
ter IS that il anything Marshalltown
got a little the best of it in the con-
duct of the game by officials, not
by partially.
''Marshal1town complains Of a fif-
teen yard penalty that helped Ida get
within striking. distance of their goal
the last time. Kirk punted. Hester
ran up to catch the ball, but before
he did so he was tackled and thrown
by a Marshalltown player. Referee

ARE CONSIDERED lNcuRARLEs
Commissioners of Insanity Have Rec
commended That Five Be Returned
to This County for Future Care -
Transfer Will Lessen Expense to the
County.

Five of the county's insane wards,
who are patients in the state hospital
at independence, are soon to be re-
turned to this county and placed in
the insane department of the county
farm. The board Of control intends
making the transfer of patients soon.
and it has asked the commissioners of
insanity to recommend those who
should be transferred.
The following are those whom the
board have recommended should be
transferred:
Mrs Harriet l. Barnhill, of this city,
who was adjudged insane Dec. s, 1902.
1902.
Maynard E. Kellogg, of this city,
who was adjudged insane, Feb. Z,
1903.
Edward Burrltt, son of B. l.. Bur-
rift, who was atljudged insane Sept. 30.
1905.
Julia Bratteig, who was adjudged
insane May 9, 1904.
David C. Doup, who was adjudged
insane, March Z, 1905.
1t is the purpose of the state board
of control to return to the counties
from which they came those patients
who are considered to be incurably
insane, and who are beyond aid from
any treatment they might receive a.:
the state hospital. AS the county
pays for their keeping at Independence
the expense is greater than they can be
cared for at the county farm, which Is
another reason for the transfer.

THEY lNJuRE CHILDREN
Ordinary cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physc Cause Distressing

Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.
You cannot be over-eareful in the Sc
lection of medicine for children. Only
the very gentlest bowel medicine should
ever be given. Ordinary pills. cathartics
and purgatives are too apt to do more
harm than good. They cause gripping,
nausea and other distressing after
elects that are frequently health de-
stroying and a life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend the guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and
most dependable remedy for constipa-
ton and associate bowel disorders. We
have such absolute faith in the supreme
virtues of this remedy that we sell it
on our guarantee Of money back In
every instance where it fails to give
entire satisfaction, and we urge all in
need Of such medicine to try 1t at our
risk.
Rexall Orerlies contain an entirely
new ingredient which is odorless, taste
less and colorless. It embraces all the
best qualities of the soothing, laxative,
Strengthening and healing remedial
active principles of the best known in
testinal regulator tonics.
Rexall Orderlies are extremely pleas
ant to take, are particularly prompt
and agreeable in action, may be taken
at any time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea. gripping. excessive
looseness, or other undesirable effects.
They have very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which they
come in contact, act as a positive and
regulative tonic upon the relax, dry
muscular coat of the bowel, remove ir
ritation, dryness and soreness, over
come weakness, and tone and strength
en- the nerves and muscles, and re-
store the bowels and associate organs
to more vigorous and healthy activ
ity.
Rexall Orderlies not only cure con-
stipation, but they remove the cause Of
this ailment. They also overcome the
necessity of constantly taking laxatives
to keep the bowels in normal condi-
ton.
There is really no similar medicine
so good as Rexall Orderlies. especially
for children. aged and delicate per-
sons. They are prepared in tablet
form and in two sizes of packages; IL
tablets, 10c, and SO tablets, 25c. The

For So Years He Has
Taught Continuously

Teaching school continuously for
I fifty-two years, and still at it, altho
IS years old, is the unique record
held by E. w. Beard, of Indianola,
Warren county, father of j. o. Beard.
of this city.
During this period of more than
schoolmaster, who has probably taught
longer than any person in the state.
has never missed single winter term.
Furthermore, all but three or four
years of Mr.. Boards school work, have
been done in Iowa.
Among his old pupils. upon whom
Mr. Beard looks with pride, is State
superintendent of Public Instruction
John F. Riggs, who used to go to
school to him in Warren county.
For many years Mr. Beard taught
in the Ackworth academy, a Warren
county institution that made spec
ialty of training teachers and prepar-
ing young people for their entrance
into college. He was also principal
at Milo for eight or ten years, and
lost his position only because of his
radical stand on the temperance ques-
ftion.
Mr.. Beard is native Of Indiana but
is a pioneer Of Iowa. His father
brought him to this state in the fall
of 1887. The Father of Rivers was
crossed at Burlington, and the elder
Beard did not care to venture too far
into the wilds of the new country, for
fear of the Indians He settled away
from the river about thirty-1ve miles,
and homesteaded claim. For a long
time his nearest white neighbor lived
ten miles distant.
Mr.. Beard expects to again teach
this winter. and says he is enjoying
better health than usual. In fact he
looks younger now than many men Of
