Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have tried
one remedy after another, finding
only temporary benefit. This is dis
couraging, but there is one special
kidney medicine that cures perma-
nently and there is plenty of proof
right here in Wa-keeney.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago,
and now states that the cure was
lasting.
Al. Johnson, of Wa-Keeney, Kans.,
says: 81 often had to arise at night
to pass the kidney SecretionS and /
was also bothered by a pain in my
back. About year / was afflicted in
that way and the medicine / tried
seemed to have no effect. Finally /
procured box of Doan's Kidney Pills
at GibSon'S Drug Store and their use
cured me. / consider this prepare
tion the best one to be had for kidney
complaint" Statement given April

THE CURE LASTED.

The campaign begun last week by
the Republican State committee is
running smoothly at this time. Head
quarters is busy place and large
bundles of mail are being sent out
every day. Most of the executive
force is composed of experienced men
who know just how to crowd the
most work into the hours that inter-
vene between O'Clock in the morn
ing and midnight. Governor Stubbs'
first week in the campaign spent in
the northwest country, was hay
maker. The crowds and enthusiasm
were more than the committee ex-
pected after hearing the reports of
the general apathy from the Demo
cratic meetings of the past three
weeks. The governor will spend this
week in the southwest part of the
state.

Reports from the county chairman
are coming in to the state committee
every day and they all indicate the
usual Republican majorities in the
counties. Here and there a fight is
being made by the Democrats for
place or two on the ticket But in
the main the sentiment is strong for
the administration record and the
county candidates are standing on
that proposition. One of the features
of the Dolley control of the State
committee is the harmony with
which the state organization works
with the local committees. Every
plea for speaker is given careful
attention and the local men are con-
suited on all local matters. There is
no effort at dictation by any one.
The spirit of the committee head
quarters is to win all along the line
and in order to achieve that end
every one is keyed up to hard work
from now until November s. The
county committees play most inn
portant part in the scheme of this
campaign They must interest the
local voter and get him to vote. The
dominant party has indifference to
fight as well as the Democrats, and
committee leaders are acting on this
theory.

EFor Five Illness he Was Elected
Mayor Of Fort Madison and Was
Conscientious, Whole

w. L. Gerber, mayor Of Fort Madi-
son, dropped dead of apoplexy at his
home there Sunday morning.
He was well known in Keokuk and
had a number Of friends here, several
of whom received news of his sud
den death during the afternoon. Mr..

dren.
The Fort Madison mayor was one
of the pioneers Of Iowa, having conc
to the state more than half centd.y
ago. He left Indiana in 1857 coming
to Burlington, where ne made his
home until 1893. He then moved to
West Point where he engaged In
the milling business.
In 1899 he moved to Fort Madison,
continuing in the milling business. In
! 1904 he was elected to the city coun-
Gil on the democratic ticket, holding
that position until elected to the po
sition OF mayor.
The Fort Madison mayor was well
liked through the entire county and
it was because Of his interest through
out Lee county that he had so many
friends He was prominent Elk of
that city and during the past few
years attended quite number Of Elk
celebrations in this city. He was a
particular friend of Mayor Charles
On, OF this city.
Mayor Gerber was one Of those
loyal, whole-souled men of Lee coun-
ty, who was upright and conscientious
in business and city affairs as well"
said an acquaintance in speaking OF
him today. "He was universally pop.
ular and had a big feeling in his heart
for Fort Madison and the whole coun.
ty. recall his attendance at the
baseball minstrels in Keokuk last
year and a number of his other little
visits to the city"

Case is Unparalleled.


The case Of Woodbufy's is probably
unparalleled in the annals of crime in
keokuk. His act of attacking little
girl and attempting to commit crime
that is more punishable in the eyes Of
the public. than any other, is one that
has created sensation in the city.
The theory has been advanced at the
police station that Woodbury. may be
temporary deranged, but such is not
thought to be the case, at least his
history in the past and that of his fam.
lily, has never given the slightest trace

Woodbury. was bound over to the
grand jury at 10 O'Clock this morning
after waving preliminary examinatio

was fixed at 5000.

a total of S60,000,000 annually. This
means that every year the people of

than they now have from their crops.

story Of Capture.

Woodbury's capture was brought
about and made possible by Allyn
Belts and John Carss, two young lads,
the former a step-son and the latter
son of James carss, who lives at 1712
Orleans street. The boys were about
the park in the afternoon on Saturday
and happened to see Woodbury. with a
flask Of whiskey. They did not know
his name, however, but knew that he
was employed at the cereal works.
When the neWssof the act spread like
wiId-fire and description, accurate In
detail, was made public In the morn
ing paper, the two lads recalled the
fact that they had seen this young
fellow in the park with the whiskey,
and during the day communicated the
fact to the police. Shortly after 5
O'Clock, or a few minutes before the
day and night shifts change, Officer
Fuqua took the two lads with him to
the cereal works and they stationed
themselves at an advantageous point
where they could watch the men going
to and from work. Soon Woodbury.
appeared and the boys readily recog-
,ized him. Officer eFuqua Immediately
placed him under arrest. Enroute to
the police station Woodbury. made a
partial confession to the officer, and
later made a complete one.

affair in outspoken words. He then
signed the document and it was en-

today regarding the confession, stated
that it had been full one on the part
Of Woodbury., but until after the pre-
