RoBB KILLED BY POISON.
Mason City Mans Death Still Unsolved
Mystery.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Jan. 22.-That death was
the result of acute poisoning Of an I'M
known origin was the verdict of the
coroaper's jury at the end of the in
quest held over the body of James
Robb, who died here suddenly and
mysteriously Tuesday night. The body
was sent to the home of his wife in
Kansas City, Kan, last night Evil
dence at the inquest did much to clear
up the mystery which surrounded the
death and nothing developed to indi-
cate that he had been murdered or had
taken his own life. His stomach was
filled with whisky and two bottles half
full of cheap grade of the same lfq-
uor were found in his room. 1t was the
opinion Of the physicians who made
the post mortem that the fusiles oils
contained in many of the cheaper
grades Of whisky might have been the
poison which caused his death. 1t was
also suggested that acute ptomaine
poisoning may have brought about his
sudden demise.

however. that they will build 1t only

The Catholic people are aiming for
new and larger church to cost
about $4,000, and Father Toeher has
almost reached the> mark in subscrip-
lions. The new edifice will be of
brick and stand on the site of the
present church which will be moved
off and used till the new one is COM
pleted and then sold Catholics al

will be a pretty one for the money.
They need the longer church, as the
membership is steadily growing.

Recent hospital reports show that
the dread disease, rheumatism, is
steadily increasing turnout the coun-
try. All known means of relief
are being suggested to save the great
amount of suffering this winter, es-
pecially among those who are not
in position to pack up and visit the
noted health resorts to be treated.
Recent tests prove rheumatism not
exactly a disease in itself, but Sc
we're symptom of kidney trouble, q
condition caused by clogged up pores
of the eliminative tissues in the kid
neys which fail to filter the poison
Gus waste matter and uric acid from
the blood, permitting these substances
to remain in the veins and decem-
pose, usually settling about the joints
and muscles, causing the intense pain,
swelling and stiffness of rheuma-
tism.

Special to Times Republican.
Ottumwa, Jan. 22.-As the result of
the Sunday revival and the closing OF
the saloons following his meetings, the
liquor question and law enforcement
are to be the issues in the city election
the coming spring, and the campaign
is already growing warm The repuo-
leans have succeeded in securing Lhe
withdrawal from the field OF the citi-
zens' ticket by pledging support to tho
moral crusade, and thus the issues arc
closely drawn.
Actuated only by the desire to place
In the field this spring a ticket that
would cope with the strength of the
opposition with more assurance Of sue
cess than was possible with three
parties, the citizens and republican
forces met on common ground in the
Y. NJ. c. A. auditorium and with but
two dissenting voices voted to aban-

called for the purpose of reaching
some harmonious agreement between
the citizen supporters and the republic
cans and to decide upon what course
! to pursue in supplying the vacancies on
the citizens ticket caused thru the
withdrawal of several candidates.
resolution was adopted wherein a
pledge was made to have a republican
platform built upon the principles of
law enforcement and a similar resolu-
ton was carried in which the citizens
candidates were endorsed by the re-
publican party, and unanimous pledge
was made by the republicans present
to work for the nomination and ulti-
mate success of the citizens candi-
dates who have not declined to run.
With one exception the many demo-
Gratis present fully realized that the
merging of both parties would result
in greater strength at the polls, and so
expressed themselves. That all were in
favor Of law enforcement no matter
thru what avenue it comes, was echoed
in the several short talks made.

of section 2o10A of the supplement
to the Code, relative to the expenses
for care OF infected persons. The res
oluton favors making the people pay
their own quarantine and fumigating
expenses, and save the county an
enormous bin each year for services
which in no way benefit the county.
That in most instances the people who
receive the benefit and who are under
quarantine, and whose homes are fun"
igated are more able To pay the cost
of such quarantine and fumigation
than is the county. We are in favoc
of the county paying the bills in case
of paupers and those who are unable
to pay, but in every other instance
we think that the cost should be PAID
by the person under quarantine"
The representatives of this county
in the legislature, Hon. John Hammil
in the senate, and Hon. N. w. Beebe,
representative, have been furnished
copies of the entire resolution, and
they are asked by the board to use
their best efforts to secure the repeal
of the section in question.

where there was a dance in progress.
When he reached the two-mile school
house on the Colo road, as he was
rounding the corner, he was either
thrown or fell from the rig. The team
continued north and when Sutherland
finally got up he began to wander
south. This occurred between half after
s and 9 o'clock and it was 2 o'clock
in the morning when he showed up at
the Fred Cook home, a couple Of miles
south of where he was thrown out. He
was taken in there and it was found
that he was badly frozen. Both MS
feet and hands were frozen and TOR

Akron.
Altho he has been operating one for
several years, Dr. H. H. Cilley had an
entirely new experience with his auto
one day last week which he does not
care to have repeated. In making some
adjustments to the machine in his auto
shed, a strong electric spark jumped
into and, ignited a quantity of gaso-
line that had escaped underneath. The
entire lower works were ablaze in an
instant but the doctor succeeded IN
smothering the flames with blanket
before any particular damage resulted.
He went into the house for few min
utes and upon returning, found that a
small fire was progressing beneath the
door of the shed. It was necessary to
tear up some of the planks before it
could be quenched -. +. A dispatch
from Elk Point to the Sioux City Jour-
nal makes the following sensational
charge against a former Akron resi-
dent William Shattuck, a rural mail
carrier, who left Elk Point over a week
ago. on supposed business trip, is
believed to have left the country with
his wife's sister, Miss Gertrude Crow,
who boarded at the Shattuck home.
Miss Grow left town on the same day
that Shattuck did. The disappearance
of Shattuck has caused a much indig-
nation here, his wife being left with
out funds to care for several children.
Shattuck, it has been learned, drew
his salary, SIS, the day before he let
and only gave his wife So.
