FEAR RACE RIOT AT OTTUMwA
Assault on white Woman Causes Mob
to Collect Around City Jail.


to Collect Around City Jail.
OTTUMWA, Ia. Feb. 21.-A parallel to
the anti-negro riots at Springfield, Ill, was
feared here today. For hours a mob of
several hundred confronted the city Jail.
The excitement followed the discovery that
brutal assault had been made by a negro
at 2 o'clock this morning on Mrs. c. M.
Johnson, wife of an Ottumwa commercial
traveller. The negro forced an entrance TO
the Johnson home. In which Mrs. johnson
was alone with baby. Bloodhounds and
a posse Immediately began searching for
Mrs. Johnson's assailant, while angry
crowds gathered near the jail. In which
was confined a negro named Junkin, sus-
pected OF having murdered Miss Rosen, a
white girl, two weeks ago. TO avoid the
mob Junkin was hustled out OF town, but
his departure did not dispel fear of rioting.
Serious apprehension was felt that a bloody
outbreak might occur at any moment.
At o'clock tonight the mob that has
been hanging around the city jail all day
increased to about 1000. Excitement is at
fever heat and only leader is needed to
incite the mob to rioting.
Thus fr no arrests have been made, hut
100 special armed deputies are securing the
country In search OF Mrs. Johnson's as
sailant. No call has been made for SOL
dlers, but the local company OF national
guard is remaining within call OF the cap
tain.

OLD TIME TURKEY EAT

lit isn't because there is no more
material in the Blue mountain region
Of Pennsylvania to provide turkey
eat that we have had the last of those
famous festivities" said Il former
dweller of the district described, "for
there are still wild turkeys a-plenty.
''The turkey eat has gone out with
the passing of the people whose homes,
traditions and manner Of life made it
possible and with the occupation that
was once theirs.
"ln the days when the turkey eat
was the great winter festivity in the
mountain districts between the Schuyl-
kill and the Juniata watersheds the
sparse population was chiefly of rude
and rugged woodmen and their fami-
lies, many of them descendants of
pure Pennsylvania Dutch stock. Scores
of them depended almost entirely on
their skill with gun and trap for their
food supply.

were built of logs, the chinks between
which were filled in with clay. A
huge stone chimney rose at one end
Of the cabin outside. covering that en-
tire end. while on the inside it opened
on broad fireplace across that end
of the room.
"The cabin was banked all around

pine boughs were heaped. Sometimes
rows of cord wood were piled up al

Coffee Was the Cause,

Many daily habits. particularly OF

In this way i'll health is often fas

says:
Il had been allowed to drink coffee
ever since | can remember. but even
as child | had weak stomach which
frequently refused to retain food.
The taste of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was. as I
found out later, the cause of the stom-
ach rebelling against food.
Il now see that it was only from
following the example of my elders
that l formed and continued the mis-
cradle habit OF drinking coffee. NV
digestion remained poor. nerves un-
strung, frequent headache. and yet
did not suspect the true cause.

Germs in Her System
Every Woman Should Read This.

The number of diseases peculiar to
woman is such that we believe this
space would hardly contain a mere
mention of their names, but it is a
fact that most of these diseases are
of a catarrhal nature. A woman can
not be we'll if there is trace of the
catarrhal germs in her system.
Some women think there is no help
for them. We positively declare this
to be mistaken idea. We are so
sure of this that we offer to supply
medicine absolutely free of all cost in
every instance where it fails to give
entire satisfaction or does not substan-
tiate our claims. With this understand
ing, no woman should hesitate TO be-
lieve our honesty of purpose, or hest
tate to put our claim to test.
There is only one way TO cure Ca
tarrh. That way is through the blood.
You may use all the snuffs, douches or
like remedies for years without get
ting more than temporary relief at best.
Catarrh is caused by a germ. That
germ is carried by the blood to the
innermost part of the system until the
mucous membrane is broken. irritation
and inflammation produced, and flow
of mucous results. and you can prob
ably realize how silly it is to attempt
to cure such an ailment unless you
take a medicine that follows the same
course as the germ or parasite.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of an
eminent physician who for 80 years
made his speciality Catarrh. and with
this medicine he averaged SO per cent
of cures where it was employed. Nc
other remedy is so properly designed
for the ailments of woman. . 1t will pur
ify and enrich the blood, stop mucous
discharge. destroy all germ matter. re
