HUBER SEEKS FEDERAL JOB.
lama Man Would be District Attorney
of Hawaii

Washington. Dec. 2S.-Another Iowa
democrat is after a good federal job
S c. Huber of Tama is an applicant
for the position of district attorney OF
! Hawaii. Representative Steele was at
! the department of justice this after
noon and he strongly urged the ap-
pointment OF Mr. Huber. 1t Is impos-
sible to say whether he will be named
as there are number of candidates.
Iowa democrats claim they have
been shown little consideration by the
Wilson administra ton and this fact
appears to rankle in the minds of a
good many of them.
Jerry Sullivan was given a position
on the board of general appraisers
early in the administration.
This was gift as much for the
purpose of getting him out of the state
as anything else, it is said. After Mr..
Sullivan was put on the board of gen.
eral appraisers. the appointments to
postoffices and other federal appoint
ments in Iowa were for the most part
dictated by the Wade organization.
But when it came to giving Iowa
democrats good jobs outside the state
there was nothing doing
Now it remains 10 be seen whether
Mr.. Huber, who had been loyal
worker for the party, gets a place out
side the state In comforting with the
department of justice officials, Mr..
Steele told them Iowa had virtually TO
recognition apart from Sullivan's ap-
pointment.

Glass Of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open siuices Of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stasnant matter.

Those of US who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, lame back, can, instead, both look
and feel as fresh as daisy always by
washing the poisons and toxins from
the body with phosphated hot water
each morning.
We should drink, before breakfast

TO flush the stomach, liver kidneys
and ten yards Of bowels the previous
days tnoigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins: thus cleansing
swestening and purifying the entire
alimentary tract before putting more
food into the stomach.
The action Of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour denominations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
it is said to be but little while until
the roses begin to appear in the cheeks
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the drug
store, but is sufficient to make any
one who is bothered with bihousneSs,

matism n real enthusiast on the sub
jeci of internal sanitation. Try it and
you are assured that you will look bet

STORE ROBBED OF CASH.
Shoe Company Loses 1894 in Mys'
terious Theft. "

Fort Dodge, Dec 2S.-One hundred
and ninety-feur dollars was stolen
from the McClay Shoe Company either
Friday night or Saturday morning.
Among the papers were twelve checks,
the signers of which are known, and
payment Of which has been stopped.
NInety-five dollars in currency. and
sl35 in silver was taken.
The store was not broken into, and
both the police and the mana cement
of the store believe that the theft was
the work of some one familiar with
the store Suspicion centers around
one of the holiday clerks.
It has been the custom Of the
cashier to place the money in the till
at night in a shoe box and to hide the
box in the store. The chance of a
stranger finding the right box was
about one in a thousand. The thief of
last week removed the right box with
out disturbing the goods in any other
part of the store. The cashier be-
lieved at first that he had forgotten
where he had put the money. Every
box in the store has been taken down
and searched. Evidence strong
enough to demand a warrant has been
accumulated. but the management
have some other way Of getting the
man and no warrant has been applied
for. The police are Investigating the
matter. .---~----

4 customer who was in the bank
when the robbers entered was driven
with the cashier into the vault, the
door of which the youths could not
manipulate thru their ignorance OF
the lock. Webb loOssned his hands,
which had been hastily tied by the
two. and as they left the building he
rushed out Of the vault and obtained

ATTORNEYS TO LOSE FEES.
County Prosecutors Affected by Oeei
sion Benton County,

Des Moines, Dec. ga blow is in
store for county attorneys of Iowa.
Those who have figured on making
considerable extra pay on prosecution
of violations of the prohibitory law
won't make as much as they expect
if the supreme court upholds Judge
Wright of the Boone county district
court. Judge Wright has held that
Fred r. Hansen, of Story county. is
not entitled TO 10 per cent commission
of fines collected in the liquor cases.
He has ordered the attorney 10 return
sS1 TO the treasury, TO be deposited in
the school funds.
In contempt and equity cases the
county attorney is entitled TO 10 per
cent, but convictions In criminal ac-
lions entitle him only 10 10 per cent
of the first 5000. per cent for the
next $500. 3 per cent for the next $500
and ! per cent for all over $1,000.
Joseph Wall chief clerk of the de-
partment which examines county ac-
counts, raised the objection which re-
suited in the test suit He also dis
covered that the commissions were
paid from the fines. The constitution
requires that the fines Of this kind
shall go to the school fund and for
county attorney must be paid from the
general fund.
Assistant Attorney General C. A.
Robbins handled the case for the state.
He expects an appeal to be taken TO
the supreme court in order that def
mite ruling on the law may be had.

! INTERSTATE FARE
INCREASE TO COST
IOWA 5000, 900

Cedar Rapids, Dec. 2s.-Cedar Rap
cross the state line Will be compelled
to pay $4,000 additional into the cof-
fers Of the railroad companies next
year If the ruling Of the interstate
commerce commission allowing an in
crease in passenger rates is permitted
to stand. Last year, according to fig-
ures submitted by the state statis-
tician, Linn county, under the 2-cent
rate paid out in interstate fares $780,
600. and next year under the "a cent
rate the revenue given the railroads
will be s3S1,oo0.
The statistician bases his figures on
560,6a7,419 interstate passenger miles
for Iowa for the year ending June 80,
1914, assuming that the passenger
miles for the state We're equally di-
vided between inter and intrastate
business. There were 1.121, 254,S1S pas
senger miles produced by the railroads
of Iowa during that year, half of which
was interstate traffic.
Other counties in the state also will
be hard hit under the new rate. Polk
county's increase Will be s11l,000,
jumping from s556.00o TO s667,000
Other increase are as follows: Wood
bury, $4,000: Scott, $4,000; Pottawat-
tamie. $4,000; Dubuque, $4,000; Gin
ton. $4,000; Black Hawk, $4,000;
Washington. $4,000.
The principal cities in the counties
most effected are Cedar Rapids. Sioux
City, Davenport. Council Bluffs, Du-
buque, Clinton. Waterloo and Des
Moines. The records show that Iowa
paid $1,000, 900 in interstate passen-
ger fares under the 2-cent rate. and
under the new rates the state will pay
the railroads $4,000, 900 for interstate
travel
II is understood that state officials
will make application to the federal
courts for an injunction restraining the
railroads from placing the new rates
into effect. The fight probably will not
be opened until after Jan. /. Attorney
General Ccsson and j. II. Henderson.

the fight for this state.
