schools of Fort Dodge are now un.
der the dictation or control of those
in sympathy with the whiskey ele-
ment. But to the attorney generals
letter. Here it is:
County Attorney B. B. Burnquist,
Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Dear Sir: Press of business pre-
vented my answering your letter
concerning conditions at Fort
Dodge. In your last letter, howev-
er. you stated that the police Of
ticer fined the saloon keeper or sa-
loon sympathizer the nominal sum
OF one dollar. By his very act he
invited the saloon keepers and law
breakers to commit violence. Fines
of that nature do not serve as
warning to others not to break the
law but they are an invitation and
inducement to evil minded men to
waive the red flag of anarchy and
take the law in their own hands.
I have received from several
sources in the last two or three
weeks information concerning Fort
Dodge and the information is suffic-
lent to satisfy me that the mayor,
police officers and yourself are fail
ing to properly discharge your du-
ties. A number of assaults have
taken place in the city of Fort
Dodge but there has been no vigor-
GUS prosecution on your part or on
the part of the mayor or police Of
ficers.
On receipt Of this letter I suggest
that you have a conference with
your sheriff and that you also go to
the mayor and advise him that II
will hold you, the mayor and police
officers responsible for the law en-
forcement in the city of Fort Dodge. |
| had supposed that the time was
past when disorderly mobs could as
sault citizens upon the street with |
lmpunity. The responsibility is di-
rectly upon you, the mayor and po-
lice officers; your sheriff, I am in
formed, will do his part if the may
Or, police officers and yourself will
give him the proper assistance and
Yours very truly,
George Cosson.

AGED LADY PASS
ES TO HER REWARD
Grandmother of Mrs. H. L. Hamp-
ton--Long, Busy and Useful
Life is Closed.

Mrs. Marium L. Bennett died at
9:15 o'clock Sunday morning, May
26, at the home of her granddaught-
er, Mrs. H. L. Hampton, with whom
she has made her home for several
years. Her death was the result of
liver trouble with which she has
been confined to her bed for almost
four weeks. She has suffered but
very little and the end was peace
full.
Marium l.. Bennett, nee Kendall,
was born at Bethany, Genesee coun-
ty, New York, Sept. -, 1886, and
was therefore at the time of her
death rs years, eight months and
fourteen days of age. She had three
brothers and one sister, none Of
whom survive.
On the 11th of April, 1854, she
was married to John E. Bennett of
her home town and moved immedi-
ately to Cleveland, Ohio, where she
and her husband lived for one year,
at the end OF which time they set
tied at Morrison, H., then the wes-
tern terminus of the C. & n. w.
railroad. At the beginning of the
civil war, Mrs. Benefits husband
was chosen colonel of the 18th III.
Inf. Vol. and for four years, as one
of those left behind, she bore her
share of the burdens of the great
conflict. Afterward she and her hus-
band lived for several years in Lit
tie Rock and Helena, Ark, and one
year in Chicago. In 1883 they re-
moved to Clark, South Dakota, a pi-
oneer village of the prairie. The
husband, who had already won dis
tinction as a jurist on the supreme
bench of Arkansas, engaged for a
short time in the practice Of law at
Clark, but was soon elected to a
place on the supreme bench Of his
new state He died Dec. 81, 1898,
at Pierre, where he had gone to
take the oath of Office for second
term on the bench.
Mrs. Bennett was treasurer of the
South Dakota woman's commission
of the Columbian Exposition in Chi
cago. She was prominent in the
woman's sufferage movement and al
so in the w. c. T. U. She was also
a faithful worker In the church as
long as her health would permit.
In 1903 Mrs. Bennett came to this
city to make her home with her
granddaughter and family. About
that time she had an attack of
glaucoma which left her totally
blind. Aside from that her health
was good until August, 1908, when
she had an attack of muscular rheu-
matism. This went to her heart and
left her with valvular heart trouble.
Since that time she has been an in
valid. Mrs. Bennett Is survived by
five grand children, her one child, a
son, E. M. Bennett, having died at
Clara. S. D., in December. 1905.
A brief service was held at the
Hampton home yesterday morning by
Rev. Arthur Metcalf and the re-
mains taken to Clark, where the
final burial services will take place
and the body laid to rest beside her
husband and son.

COMMITS DIS
GUST|Nc Crime
A Degenerate Specimen of HUI
manity Assaults Young
Boy in the Woods Down
the River.
THE MAN IS UNDER ARREST
Apprehended by Constable Hime-
baugh as he was About to
Mount Eastbound Train.
HE MAN IS UNDER ARREST

One of the most revolving deeds in
the category Of crimes was commit
ted by a man upon the person of a
young boy in the woods southeast
OF the city Sunday forenoon. Three
or four boys of about fourteen years
of age were down the river, not far
from the Bonebright place, when
they We're met by man perhaps
thirty years of age. He engaged the
boyS in conversation and said that
he had some whiskey in jug
just over the hill and told one Of
them that he wound give him fifty
cents if he would go and get it. The
boy readily assented and the man
led the way in the direction of
where the liquor was represented to
be The other boys went in another
direction. When the man and boy
were alone in the woods the man
assaulted the lad and attempted a
revolving crime. The lad screamed
and shouted for help and the man
slapped him in the face and threat
ened violence If he did not keep
quiet. Finally the lad escaped and
returning to town reported the mat
ter to the authorities. The lad was
injured and needed the services of
ph5 5sician, but no serious results are
lansEipated.
The scoundrel who committed the
Crime was captured in the afternoon
when attempting to board a train.
Constable Himebaugh arrested him
and he was confined in the county
s35ail. He gave his name as Grover
sEurvell. When found by the con-
stable the man showed no resist
ance but said he was going to leave
town.
Survell has been in the city but
70 short time and during his stay
here has been employed with differ
ent contracting firms as a ditcher
and day laborer. He has been liv-
ing at the Park hotel and it was
when tempting to return to this
place that he was seen by persons
who knew him and reported to Mr.
Himebaugh. He was brought into
Justice TGcker's court yesterday
and identified. He will be given an
opportunity to plead guilty of the
crime. However, should he wish to
stand trial his case will be resumed
in the next term of court.
Survell told the. county attor-
ney he was ready to plead guilty be-
fore Judge Wright yesterday a. m.
while the Judge was here on the
Beal case, but the judge did not
like to accept such plea at this
time. He said to let the fellow
think 1t over and he would return
later in the week If he still wanted
to enter a plea of guilty.

NO MORE DISTRESS
FROM STOMACH
OR INDIGESTION

If your meals don't fit comfortably
or you feel bloated after eating, and
you believe 1t is the food which fills
you; II what little you eat lies like
a lump Of lead on your stomach; II
there is difficulty in breathing after
eating, eructations of sour, undlgest-
ed food and acid, heartburn, brash
or a belching Of gas, you can make
up your mind that you need some
thing to stop food fermentation and
cure Indigestion
To make every bite Of food you
eat aid in the nourishment and
strength Of your body, you must rid
your stomach Of poisons, excessive
acid and stomach gas, which sours
your entire meal--interfere with d.
gestion and causes so many sufferers
of dyspepsia, sick headache, bilious
ness, constipation, gripping, etc Your
case is no diirerent--you are stom-
ach sufferer, though you may call 1t
by some other name; your real and
only trouble is that which you eat
does not digest, but quickly ferments
and sours, producing almost any un-
healthy condition.
A case Of Diapepsln will cost atty
cents at any pharmacy here, and will
convince any stomach sufferer five
minutes after taking single dose
that fermentation and sour stomach
is causing the misery Of indigestion.
No matter II you call your trouble
catarrh of the stomach. nervousness
or gastritis, or by any other name

is waiting at any drug store the mo-
ment you decide to begin its use
