OELWEIN SALOoNIsTs INDICTED
Dram shops Accused of Violating
the Mulct Law by Grand Jury.

West Union Ia, Sept. 28.-Every
saloon keeper and bartender in Del
vein was indicted by the Fayette
county grand jury, which has Just
adjourned. The offenses against
the mulct law for which the indict-
ments were found include the sale
of liquor to minors and to blacklist
ed men. The indictments are TWEEN
tythree in number, as in addition
to the saloon keepers and bartend
ers a number of other persons were
indicted for having obtained liquor
at the saloons to dispose of in an
illegal way.
1t is predicted that this action
means the end of the saloon bust
ness in Oelwein. The seven saloons
in that city have for many years
past provided the only oasis in the
otherwise dry county of Fayette.
The saloons do not suffer alone, as
at the last term of court eighteen in
dictments We're found against drug
gists and others at the town of Ell
gin for similar offenses.

Fort Dodge.

Fort Dodge, Ia, Sept 2S.-John
Barrett, Russian Pollock of Hayes,
Kan, arrived here some time ago
with Mrs. Anna Schumacher and her
seven children. He had eloped with
her and the children while the wo-
mans husband was away from home
last Tuesday.
The husband and his father when
they discovered the absence of the
wife and children, became distract
ed. First they went to Kansas City.
then to Des Moines, and finally came
here. The story of the finding of
BarrSt, Mrs. Schumacher and the
children is one of the strangest of
condolences.
Schumacher and his father wanted
to find the residence of Sheriff r.
IS. Lund here. A joker seeing how
unsophisticated they were, told
them Lund lived on Twelfth avenue
South. PICKING up guide, the
Schumakers started where they
thought Lund lived. Lund lives on

RuyerS Were Reat.

Steel range peddlers are working
through the country and the Du-
mont Journal has expressed our
sentiments in timely warning, and
is feeling for your loyalty to the
home merchant. We have never
known of a case of real satisfaction
expressed by buyer of one of these
stoves, but even such as that does
not hinder the making of sales by
the agents.
Saturday an outfit drove through
town that must have cost nearly a
thousand dollars. On the wagon
were several ranges, that were be-
ing peddled to any who would buy.
What we fail to see is where they
eliminate the retailers profit from
the cost of the stoves by piling up
the drivers wages and the first cost
of team and wagon and feed and
care each day for the animals. Who
pays for these expenses, if the buy
err don't? And then when they
disappear, there is no one to go to
and complain. But then the Ameri-
can public Is not satisfied unless
they are humbugged, so the late P.
7. Barnum said, and it is conceded
that he knew. We have never seen
satisfactory service given by these
travelling 'tinshops" and the home
merchant can always make good for
a person who trades with them if
anything is wrong. The trade at
home slogan is a good way to build
up a town. "-Clarksville Star.

SIX FOOT RATTLFSNAKE.
Killed Near MClnt.re Last Week
Carried 80 Rattles and
Button.

0. G. Ray had an experience on
last Friday which he does not care
to repeat. He went out in the pas
ture to see how the hazel nuts were
ripening carrying a galvanized iron
pail He reached a patch and was
looking them over when he heard
a rustic in the grass to one side.
Knowing that young rabbits were
numerous he did not heed the noise
nor the uneasiness of the dog that
was with him. All of a sudden
something struck the pail which he
was carrying in his hand a terrible
blow, and looking around he saw a
large rattler. He stepped back and
holding the dog from danger found
a club and with the head of the
reptile about eighteen inches from
the ground he struck a side blow
which stunned the snake and then
pounded it until it was dead. It
measured seventy-three inches in
length and carried 10 rattlers and
a button. 1t is one of those known
as diamond rattlers. Where the
reptile struck the pail it left two
perpendicular marks about one inch
apart which resemble scratches
made by a file. Had it not been for
the pail Mr.. Ray would have receiv-
ed the blow just above the knee. 1t
was narrow escape Usage Press.

ONE CAUSE FOR
BARBER REMOVAL
Orders for Fish Screens Had
Something to Do With
Governors Action.

That the Johnston fish screen, man
ufactured in Salt Lake, played an i'm
portant part in the recent developments
in the state fish and game department,
resulting in the ousting of o. H. Barber
as state fish and game warden, came to
light today. Governor Haines still
maintains his silence with reference to
the removal of the warden. The John
ston fish screen he'd something to do
with the removal of that official and
this is current topic at the state house.
1t is said the governor considered that
the former warden had too much in
terest in this screen and in ordering
the placing of 1t in canals and streams
in this state as the official screen ap-
proved by the department.
The former warden has not been
heard from with reference to his re-
moval. He was expected to make a
statement, but up to the present time
has not done SO. In the meantime his
successor, Warden Gowen, has been
busy with the affairs of the depart
ment. Relating to the Johnston fish
screens he has issued the following or
der, directed to all of his deputies:
order requiring installation of fish
screens has been temporarily suspend
ed pending further investigation
Please notify all persons directed by
you to install screens of this suspen-
sion"
Protests had also been filed with the
department against the installation of
these screens because of the cost. One

BOARD OF HEALTH
VACATION HINTS
Timely Advice to Those
Who Are Seeking Rest
for Summer.

Are you going to take a vacation ?
II you are the state board of health
has some useful hints for your con-
sideration contained In a bulletin
issued from It's headquarters at the
state house this week. 1t Is as fol-
lows:
Vacation IS the talk of the season.
Every nine out of 10 people are plan
ming to take a vacation trip, some
time during the summer Where to go
is the question Be this understood:
The most picturesque and otherwise
attractive resorts are not always the
safest. Your first consideration should
be: Where can find rest and recre-
alton without jeopardizing my health
On making your choice look we'll to
these facts: First, That the supply of
drinking water comes not from shall
low wells or from other sources likely
to be polluted. Second, That flies and
mosquitoes are we'll screened against.
Third, That there are sanitary ar
rangements for the disposal of sewage.
Know these things and your chances
for having typhoid and many other
diseases win be greatly diminished.
1.-THE vacationist by all means should
be vaccinated against typhoid. This
preventive measure is so simple and
vet so effective that no man or woman
should consider himself ready till he
has taken this treatment. You can get
the typhoid vaccine by applying to
your own physician. In either case
allow yourself plenty Of time. Four
weeks at least are necessary in which
to get the vaccine and take the treat
ment. If further information regard
ing this treatment is desired write the

Thin People

Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10
fat will find no better time to secure
such result than in the hot summer
months. Surprising gains in weight
are often made by thin people in June,

because their assimilative organs do
not absorb sufficient of the flesh maxi
With such physical defect it is often
difficult to gain weight in winter be-
cause q great portion OF the little
nourishnent that is absorbed is used
to provide flesh and fat.
People who imagine they were built
to stay thin should take advantage of
Natures laws at this season and make
flesh and begin the use of a good stan
dard flesh builder like Sargol while
the hot days are here. Here is good
test worth irving this summer First
