many Of our soldiers suffered severely
from cramp in the stomach and bow

obliged to drink.

how he came to the relief of some of
the men in his regiment:-"Ju as |

Lake, "Mr. Davis gave me large bot
tie of Sloans Liniment | used it in
our troop at Camp Mobrey for cramps
and dysentery among the men, It, took
finely and lots of the boys of Troop L,
list Tex. Cav, U. S. ", will never for

case in particular was our bugler,
Fred Ormsley; he was cramped until
he could hardly stand it. l gave him
a dose of Sloan's Eminent and in five
minutes he was up and ready to go
on with the troop"
Every druggist carries Sloan's Lint
ment in stock You can get it in 25c,
Soc or 81 sized bottles. It's good

Negro SINGS in BastiIe.
For the first time since his incar-
ceration in the Polk county Jail, John
Junllin, yesterday Joined in religious
services. singing with the Salvation
Army Jail workers.
Heretofore he has not taken the
slightest interest in the efforts of the
workers, but yesterday he, with the
other prisoners took an active part in
all the ceremonies. He appeared un-
usually light-hearted and spent the
day smoking cigarettes, reading the
newspaper accounts Of his Indictment
and sinping.
"Junkin Should Hang"
Il should like to see a law passed
in this country permitting every wo-
man who has to be out alone at night
to carry a stiletto just as the women
do in SPAIN" said Judge Hugh Bren-
na.l in the Des Moines News. IF We
had such a law I'll wager there would
be marked decrease in crime. You
never hear of any assaults on women
in Spain. If every woman would
carry a nice little steel stiletto where
she could put her hand on it at any
second We wouldn't have any more of
these Junkin affairs.
This question of attacks on women
is getting to be an alarming one.
Something should be done at once to
check such unbridled brutality and
ter chance in this country to make an
example of a man by hanging than in
the case of Junkin. l should not be
surprised if such a fate awaits him,
either"
Sanders View Of Junkin.
John Junkin never should have
been released from the penitentiary.
He was and is. and always will be. an
ignorant, bad negro We never could
make an impression on him here. and
was opposed to his release when
let him go. But what could l do?'
This is Warden j. c. Sanders opin-
ion of John Junkin. confessed murder
er of Clara Rosen. Ottumwa choir
singer. Methods at the Fort Madison
penitentiary, which have been in the
limelight of criticism, have been hard
err hit since Junkin, who was let out
of the down-state penitentiary in jan
uary, confessed to the horrible crime
| in Ottumwa.
