Cards Of Thanks and Appreciation

In health and strength, we seldom
understand and appreciate the good
ness of those whom we meet daily--for
the usual individual vOcatiOns of life to
a great extent prevent US from getting
in close and sympathetic touch with
each other; but when sickness and death
comes into our midst, we fully realize
that friends, true and sincere, are
surrounding us in every direc-
ton, and that here is no lack of
that spirit IF kindness that is so com
forting in the time of sorrow. Such
we have found to be true to the fullest
extent in the sickness and death of our
father and father,in-law. Mr.. J. w
Mosier and to the great number of So
licitous friends who extended to us
their unstinted kindness and assistance
in this our bereavement, we express
our sincerest thanks and appreciation,
for by their deeds they have drawn US
closer to them, and impressed upon our
hearts a sweet memory that will re-
main forever.

CLUB AS SHE STEPS OUT OF
HoME-PoLlcE HAVE NO CLUE.

Bloomfield, Feb. 16-(SpeciaD-
Mrs. Jack Noble was attacked by rn-
known persons as she stepped out of
her home, just east of the square, last
night at $3.50 o'clock, quantity Of car
bolic acid was thrown in her face and
she was struck a heavy blow on the
head with a club. Blinded by the car
bolic acid, which almost destroyed the
sight of her right eye, she was unable
to identity her assailants, either as to
their number or sex, She is unable to
advance motive for the attack as she
has not an enemy in the world that
she is aware Of
Mrs. Noble, whose husband is a
prominent Bloomfield liveryman, had
stepped out into the barn lot to do
some chores and was near the barn
when the attack was made. She saw
no noe in the yard. but believes her
assailants were hiding behind the barn
and crept up close to her without Civ
ing her warning
Frantic with pain, as the acid burn
ed its way into the flesh, Mrs. Noble
reeled into her homo, calling for help.
Before reaching the door she was dealt
heavy blow on the head, presumably
with club. The physicians found a
heavy welt on the top of the head and
another just over the right eye. The
eye was burned and swollen, but today
the sight was partially restored, and
the physicians believe they will save
the eyesight. A pound baking powder
can, with small portion Of the acid
remaining in it, was found in the yard.
There is much indignation in Bloom
field over the brutal attack and the
authorities are working zealously on
the case.
Mrs. James Hill. 124 North Sheridan
avenue, South OtiNinya, is a sister
of Mr.. Noble.
She had not heard Of the accident
when called up by the Courier. She
received a card yesterday stating that
Mr. and Mrs. Noble would be in Ottum-
wa Friday, Mr.. Noble having planned
to attend the Williams horse sale.

Representative jameson of the
Eighth district said today that he will
probably not be candidate for re-
election. He believes Towner will be
nominated by the Republicans, and
that any Democrat who is named will
defeat Towner, because he considers
the Republicans SO utterly split that

patter and the standpatters will knife
any progressive.

ocrat next time" he said 81 have not
announced that ] will not run again,
but doubt If will do so.
Mr.. jameson is positive that ne
would he1ss no serious opposition for
the Democratic nomination, but he is
good deal disgusted with the whole
situation, the hopelessness of getting
results, the factional conditions in the
district and generally the bootlessness
of the political game"
In all probability he VIII retire vol

Unless Senator Root can be induced
TO withdraw or materially modify his
