SUMNER HAVE INVESTIGATION.
Auditor OF State is Asked to Look
Over Towns Books and
Records.

Sumner, Ia, Feb. ct has been
a long, long time since this town
was so shaken up as it is at the
present time. The announcement
has been made that the affairs of the
city are to be investigated, and that
the acts of some of the city council
are Illegal A petition setting out
the trouble, signed by seventy-fve Of
the tax payers of Sumner has been
forwarded to State Auditor John l..
Bleakley at Des Moines, asking that
an examiner be sent to look over the
records. 1t is stated that an ac-
countant was hired to go over the
books and his report accompanies
the petition. The unlawful deeds, if
they so prove to be, go back to the
year 1908. The charges are that
bills presented by certain council
men, have been approved and allow
ed; that hundreds of dollars have
been involved, which seems to be
contrary to the law providing that
no officer, including members of the
city council, shall be interested di-
rectly in any contract or job of work
or interested in the profits thereof
or services to be furnished or per-
formed by the city or town. Just as
soon as a report can be made it is
stated that an custer proceeding will
be begun and already a petition has
been put in circulation to that effect.
Further litigation will then be insti-
tuted looking for recovery of all
the money that has been thus paid
out by the city.

Watching the Results.

Students of all great problems
throughout the country will await
with interest the oucome of Iowa's
latest move to regulate the traffic
of liquor by reducing the number
Of saloons "a ne for each 1000
population. Newspapers in many
states have said "Will the Moon
law help to promote temperament"
All liquor legislation should be built
with the view of bringing about tenn
perance. Many newspapers believe
that the reduction in the number of
saloons will not reduce the consump-
ton of liquor. Other newspapers
take the stand that the reduction
will increase home drinking" and
that this will mean ardent spirits
will be used by many who formerly
drank malt beverages at the bar.
Iowa's law makers have spent much
time over liquor legislation. Years
ago they found that prohibitory laws
did not prohibit In Bellevue the
number of saloons has been cut by
the Moon law from eleven to one,
and the city has placed the license
for that one saloon at $500 an
nually, possibly one of the highest
liquor licenses in the United States.
The question is, will such heavy
licenses make the business unprofit-
able, eventually mean the closing of
the saloon and the establishment of
"speaA easies" are not uncommon in
various portions of the state, where
the traffic is not regulated. The
absence of population in these COM
munities may be due to Iowas sys-
tenn OF deciding whether saloons
shall exist in a county. 1t is con-
ceeded that the petition system %
consent is wrong, inasmuch as the
wish of community often is not
truly expressed, as it would be il the
voters were allowed to dec.Ae at the
polls.

4 LIBERAL OFFER.
We Guarantee to Relieve Dyspepsia
If We Fail the Medicine
Costs Nothing.

To unquestionably prove to the
people that indigestion and dyspep-
STA can be permanently relieved and
that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will
bring about this result, we will fur
nish the medicine absolutely free if
it fails to give satisfaction to any
one using it.
The remarkable success of ReXall
Dyspepsia Tablets is due to the high
degree of scientific skill used in de-
visng their formula as well as to
the care exercised in their manufac-
ture, whereby the well known prop
critics of Bismuth-Subnitrate and
pepsin have been combined with Car
minatives and other agents.
Observation-Disclosures and Pepsin
are constantly employed and recog-
nized by the entire medical profess
sion as invaluable in the treatment
of indigestion and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets is carefully prepared
so as to develop its greatest effici-
ency. Pepsin supplies to the diges-
tive apparatus one of the most i'm
portant elements of the digestive
fluid. Without it the digestion and
assimilation of food are impossible.
The Carminatives possess proper
ties which aid in relieving the dis
turbances and pain caused by undi-
gested food. This combination of
these ingredients makes a remedy in
valuable for the complete relief OF
indigestion and dyspepsia.
We are so certain of this that we
urge you to try Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets on our own personal guar
antee. Three sizes, 25 cents, 80
cents and $500. Remember, you can
obtain Rexall Remedies only at our
store-The Rexall Store. E. ]. Par

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. Sit would
appear that DR.. Wilton Mccarthy of
this city, stands a good show of get
ting the insurance money from all
companies on account of loss of an
eye. If he does he will have over
100000 as compensation for loss
of his one eye. One of the companies
has already paid him $4,000, being
his claim in full, and it is supposed
that if there was to be any contest
they all would have stood out for a
fight. This will be the largest sum
ever collected in Iowa for an acct
dent of the kind.

The Wrestling Mania.

The wrestling mania doesn't take
worth a continental here in Waukon,
the attendance having lessened at
each succeeding match" Even the
presence of Mayor Beenan at the
ringside hasn't been productive of
hefty door receipts. If some of these
mat artists from Kokomo and Kala-
mazoo had their way about it they
would lug away more cash in a
month, than shopping traih to La
Crosse or Dubuque would diyest US

Lansing Monday night is said tc have
ended in fist fight, and no more
wrestling exhibitions will be permit
ted there.-Waukon Democrat.

ROAD FUND GROWS.
Counties Will Receive $3.50 900 IRON
Auto License Tax.

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 5.-The
counties of the state will receive
probably as much as $350,00O dur
ing the year from the automobile
tax to be applied to the special road
fund available only for surfacing
public highways. The registration of
automobiles is still small, and plates
in the $4,000 number are now going
out to owners; but it is sufficient to
show that the total fund for the
state will reach about what is indi-
Gated.
