CADD RESIGNS
CUSTODIAN JOB
MAN APPOINTED TO CAPITOL
POST BY GOVERNOR QUITS
WHEN VETERANS OBJECT.

Des Moines, Jan. 10.-The state
house is today without a custodian. J.
N Gadd who was appointed by Gov
Carroll to succeed the late Col Bou-
tin late yesterday informed the gov
ernor that he would not accept the
appointment: His withdrawal was &C.
cepted.
Mr.. Gadd's action was due to the
criticism of Governor Carroll for ap-
pointing him made by members of the
1owa\ department of tthe G. A. R. Mr.
Gadd will. retain his former place as
clerk in the supply department under
the state legislative council. ..
Governor Carroll appointed Mr..
Gadd under the supposition that he
was an acknowledged veteran of the
civil war. Although Mr.. Gadd saw
some service, he was never enlisted
and his name is not included in the
list of Iowa veterans nor is he on the
roll Of the third Iowa cavalry to which
he was attached. .., e.
When the third Iowa cavalry was
being modified at Keokuk, Mr. Gadd
was among those who expected to en-.
list in company I. Previous, to the
mobilization of the cavalry, or more
properly, the time it was mustered in,
there was consider able skirmishing
just over the Iowa line in Missouri in
which Mr.. Gadd took part. One of the
engagements is known as the battle of
Alexandria. Mr.. Gadd fell from a
horse. and his friends claim sustained
two broken shoulder blades. While
Mr.. Gadd was in the hospital, his troop
was mustered in, and he was left out,
and during the next thirteen months
served as hostler for Col. Trimble.

PEOPLE.
Every Cairo Reader Will Admit
the Soundness of the Logic.

Would Cairo people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they do ii
the medicine were not reliable?
Would they confirm their state
ments after years have elapsed if
their experiences did not show the
remedy to be deserving it? State
ments like the following must carry
conviction to the mind of every
reader:
Mrs. Henry Etz, 225 Nineteenth
St., Cairo, H., says: Il am glad to
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, as
4 consider them to be the best kid
ney remedy in existence. They have
been used in my family for a num-
Der of years and have always brought
prompt and satisfactory relief Any
person suffering from backache or
other troubles caused by weak kid
neys will make no mistake by giving
