Abbatemaggio was trapped into his
revelations by the police spy. Marsha
Capozzuu Of the Legion Of Carbineers in
Naples. The latter gave the informer
money with which to be married, and to
set himself up in business in return for
information which the marshal said he
wished to secure In order to use it as a
means Of securing membership in the
Camorra.
When Abbatemaggio learned that he
had been tricked he made the best of il
by becoming a police spy. The defensl
asserts that the informer has never been
right mentally; that as an infant he wa.
subject to fits, and that from his youth
up he has been a vicious person. They
describe him as having been an incorrigi.
bic child, who was in the habit of strik-
ing his own mother-an offense which
they pointed out. should make him an
object of contempt and suspicion on The
part of every decent man.
For himself Abbatemaggio said that he
had been an exemplary son. He had, he
admitted, fallen into crime. and became
member of the Camorra, but now his re
pentance Is so sincere that he is ready
to face any fate that truth and justice
may triumph.

William II. McJimsey.

William r. McJimsey died at his
home, one mile northwest of Deca-
tur City, Jan.26, 1911, aged 81 years,
two months and nineteen days. Mr..
McJimsey was born in Indiana, Nov.
9TH, 1849, and came to Iowa with
his parents when he was but one
year old. He has resided in Iowa,
mostly in Decatur county, ever since.
He united with the United Brethren
church several years ago, and lived
a faithful, upright, christian life.
He has been married twice, his Sec
ond wife having preceded him to
the other world some five years ago.
He leaves one brother, Jasper Nc
Jimsey, and a mother 81 years old,
who has been making her home with
him. He was the father of nine
children, two of whom died some
years ago. One daughter is married
and lives at Roseburgh, Oregon. The
other six remain at home, four
daughters and two sons, the
youngest being five years old and
the eldest twenty. He also leaves a
host of relatives and friends, who
mourn his untimely end. He was
taken to Van Vert for burial, where
he formerly lived.
In behalf of the family we sin
cerely thank the kind friends and
neighbors, who graciously came to
our assistance in this time of trial
and grief. Scott Jones.

A gain in Democratic members of
the United States Senate that was
not to be expected under old ideas
came about in 1909 when George E..
Chamberlain, who had received ma
jority Of a popular vote over the
nominee of the Republican party for
the office, was elected by an Oregon
Legislature in which the Republicans
had a majority of the members. BY
the same sort of operation the DEM
ocrats now lose member, at a time
when Democratic Senators are great
ly needed to complete the reform of
the other house. George S. Nixson
(Rep.) is reelected in Nevada by a
Legislature in which the Democrats
have four majority on joint ballot.
The reason is that Mr.. Nixon, too,
obtained a majority of popular vote
over the Democratic nominee. The
same merit that many commentators
saw in the Oregon Legislatures full
fillment of good faith must attach to
the Nevada Legislatures act. The
present deprivation to Democracy
really means more than the former
deprivation to Republican.

ATTEMPTED selection of a U


Attempted selection of United
States senator to succeed the late j.
P. Dolliver has so far monopolized
so much of the Iowa's legislatures
time that little has been accomplish
ed. More bills have been introduced
than ever before during the first
two weeks of general assembly.
But this is as far as they have gone.
Every committee is loaded down with
bills not acted upon. And the SEN
atorial problem is yet unsettled. 1t
seems apparent this assembly will be
unable to settle it Efficient
work will not be done for
the state, it seems, until the men,
bers admit their inability to make a
choice and provide a means for let
ting the people select their senator
at a special primary. Of course such
determination would not relieve the
members of voting every noon which
takes a half hour, but it would re-
lieve their minds of the responsible
ity and give them opportunity to
think of legislation and work on law
making and unmaking instead of
playing politics.

O-na Stomach Tablets
Van Werden & Kopp Sells Them and
Guarantees Them.

You eat food to keep yourself
alive. When you put food into a
healthy stomach it is the duty of
that stomach to extract from the
food all of it's nutritious matter.
This nutritious matter is passed
along to the blood, and in turn is
carried to and supplies life to every
part of the body.
If your stomach is upset it does
mot extract enough nourishment to
supply the wants of the body, and
naturally disease develops wherever
the body is weakest.
Stomach trouble or indigestion
causes dizziness, biliousness, nerv-
BUSINESS, weak eyes, sick headaches,
sleeplessness, nightmare, water
brash, belching of sour food, foul
breath, dependency constipation
and even loss of energy and memory.
For any stomach trouble no mat
ter how bad Van Werden & Kopp
sells and guarantees Mona stomach
tablets to give quick relief and per-
manent cure, or money back.
A large box costs but SO cents at
Van Werden & Kopp's and druggists
everywhere. They are small and
easily swallowed, and used regularly
they will surely cure indigestion.

THIS BILL MEANS BUSINESS.

Representative Cunningham, of
Buena Vista county, has introduced
bill in the Iowa house which, if en-
acted would make every mile of
highway in Iowa as good dirt road
as the best river to river road that
was ever exploited and if one-tenth
the energy could now be spent upon
the enactment of Cunningham S
measure that has been expended up
on river to river schemes an era of
good roads would have been actu-
ally inaugurated in Iowa.
Cunningham bill would make the
dragging of rural highways compul-
sorry with fines as penalty for negli-
gence. 1t is as simple as the split
log drag itself and fully as practic-
able. The roads of township are to
be sub-uivided into districts of a
mile each and let by contract to
nearby farmers at SO cents per mile
for each time dragged.
This system has been in force for
five years in Jackson township, of
Hardin county by the voluntary &C.
ton of road trustees with brains.
During all that time the county roads
in and about Owassa have been kept
as smooth as a city pavement and
the cost has averaged approx
mately IS per mile of road per seas
son.
The Iowa statutes now provide
that 40 per. cent of the road funds of
a township can be spent for dragging
roads and it is clearly the intent of
the statute that this 40 per cent shall
be SO expended but there is dis
3cretionary clause as to dragging Eat
such time as in their judgment is
most beneficial which would let a
trustee escape responsibility if he
neglected the dragging. Cunning

TO THE DEMOCRATS Of IOWA:

Your State Committee has opened
permanent headquarters in the city
of Des Moines. The object is to ef-
feet perfect organization of the
party in every County, Township,
Town and Precinct in the state and
thus be prepared, when the presi-
dental campaign opens in 1912, to
carry on campaign which will
place Iowa in the Democratic col
umn.
Our greatest difficulty in the past
has been our inability to keep the
organization active and alert from
one campaign to the next. Good
working organizations have been
built up for particular campaigns
but after these campaigns, the Or
CARNATIONS have entirely lapsed and
fallen to a low state and the next
campaign, about one half the period
which should have been devoted to
active campaign work has been re-
quired to rebuild the organization,
1t is our purpose not only to RENE
dy this matter, but to make the party
organization living, breathing,
militant force, entirely worthy of
the confidence which the voters OF
the state and nation have signitled
their intention to place in the Dem
ocratic party at the next Presidential
election.
In order to accomplish this we
must have the aid of every good
Democrat in the state; the work can
not be accomplished without great
expense and patriotic sacrifice; and
every one should bear his portion OF
the burden with the same eagerness
and in the same measure that he
would enjoy the approaching victory.
To these ends we call upon every
democrat to aid us; send in your
own subscription among your dem
ocrat neighbors and send to the UNI
dersigned at 4O1-3-5 Clapp Block,
where a complete record of all aid
received will be kept.

CANNED WILL CARRY IOWA IN
1912. WILL YOU HELP?

ON SOLDIERS PENSIONS.

One of the most eloquent and
sincere speeches on behalf OF the
old soldiers that has been heard on
the floor of the House in this session
was made by the Hon. James M.
Graham, of Illinois.
Mr.. Graham spoke for the passage
of the bill which provides that SOL
diers who were honorably discharged
shall, upon the arrival at the age
of 81 years, receive pension at the
rate of SIS a month; at the age OF
IS years, $40 month; at the age OF
70 years, $25 month; and at the
age of IS years or over, $36 month.
- 'The present plan of granting pen
sions by private bills is unsatisfac-
tory said Mr.. Graham. "The pro-
cess is too slow. And often when
tardy relief is given it comes too
late to do any good.
During the present session I got
private bills through for two Of my
odd boys and fastened to notify
them of the fine prospects ahead,
only to learn that they had been
mustered out to answer 'Here! when
the grand reveille sounded on the
other shore, and that they had spent
their last days practically dependent
upon the kindness and the charity
of neighbors.
Shortly before the close of his
life, in one of his last public official
utterances the great-hearted, kind,
gentle President Lincoln urged on
the people the duty to bind up the
nations wounds, and to care for him
who shall have borne the battle and
for his widow and his orphan, and
surely no more sacred duty could
lie before us; and while the bill is,
perhaps, not as liberal as it ought to
be, let us, by our cheerful and gen.
erous unanimity in the giving of it
make up for any deficiency in the
merits of it.

Noting that bill has been intro
duced in the lower house of the Iowa
legislature which seeks to abolish the
petition feature of the mulct liquor
law and substitute direct vote the
Fairfield Ledger says: 1.-THE petition
is one of the best features of this
statute. It separates the men from
the rabbits, and makes the man who
wants the saloon stand up and be
counted. If the law is to be amend
ed on this line, let the withdrawal
of names be forbidden, so that every
voter shall stand by his record. The
petition is one of the cheapest things
in our system of government. If the
law can strengthen it in any way,
and it has done so in the mulct law,
let that stand

Fifty thousand dollars is asked for
publicity bureau by Senator White
of Iowa, in a bill just introdL ced, ana
the sum is considered very modest in
comparison with the great amounts
being spent on other states to ad-
vertise. His bill provides for board
of five to work without compensation
other than expenses, permitting that
board to pay an assistant, however.
In view of the fact that Iowa has
lost population it is not expected any
voice will be raised against publicity
to bring the value of Iowa to the at
tention of the world-publicity means
more people, better prices fer land,
more workers and more money spent
in the state.

be avoided. If the bulb is pink and
full, the hair is healthy.
