A Habit Dyspeptics

Physicians and specialists in the

attacks Of indigestion would make
practice OF taking :. teaspccnfM! Of pure
bisurated magnesia in little water
after each meal. because this would
neutralize the excessive acid in the
stomach, which is invariably the I'M
derlying cause of these troubles. The
remarkable antacid and food corrective
properties OF bisurated magnesia have
long been recognized by the medical
profession. and the preparation is. Of
course, carried by all high class drug
gists, but to avoid confusion with the

HUGE DRAINAGE DITCH
Plan 70 Reclaim 5000 Acres in story,
Jasper and Polk Counties, in Valley
Of Skunk River.

Des Moines, Aug. 1s.-The greatest
drainage project ever undertaken in the
middle west-calling for the reclaim
alton Of $4,000 acres Of Iowa's richest
lands along the Skunk river in Polk,
Story and Jasper counties, was
launched before the Polk county board
of supervisors today
Twenty-Five farmers and land own
ers, representing more than 7.0Oo
acres along this twenty-mile stretch
of the skunk river. filed a petition
with the supervisors to declare this
section a drainage district. The petit
ton, filed by Attorney r. j. Kelly
representing the land. owners, will come
before the board for official action
Monday.
Eighteen thousand acres Of the land
is along the river in Polk county. The
remainder is in Story and Jasper
counties.
The skunk river runs thru about
the lowest part of Iowa. The land
adjacent to it's banks is subject to
overflow several times a year, with
each slight rise of the waters. Here
tofore it has been considered an i'm
pOSSlDlltS " lSSithiih ei'S
of acres along the river.
Two plans are in view. One is the
Strengthening and the making of u
new channel for the river. The other
Is to enlarge the present channel. 1t
is probable, says Mr.. Kelly, that the
final scheme will be the enlarging OF
the channel and the erection of levees.
The board of supervisors will act
NtnoIox, IT,, will he DDnOinte ed
to make an Investigation.
Some of the land today is not worth
81 an acre. Other sections of 1t
that are not subject to overflow ex-
cept when the river rises to high
stage is held at $50 an acre. The
owners declare that with the land
fully protected against flood, there will
not be an acre of it worth less than
5000 and much of it will be worth more
as it IS the richest land in the state,
they declare.

RULING FAvoRs RAILROAD.
Court Orders Buildings Of Coal Com
nanies Removed From proDertv


Muscatine, Aug. 1S.-A decision that
is expected to have wide influence
in similar litigation thruout the state
of Iowa was made in the local district
| court today when Judge Theophilus
handed down an opinion in a case in
stituted by the Rock Island railroad
the w. G. Block Coal Company and
Jacob Grimm.
The railroad sought to have various
buildings located on its right Of way
in the proximity Of East Fifth street
removed, contending that the premises
were the sole property Of the railroad
Subsequently. Attorneys Gustayus ALL
bee and w. r. Jayne. who represented
the defense, retaliated by claiming
ownership to the ground under dispute
by reason of adverse possession, alleg-
ing that buildings had occupied it for
nearly a decade.
Judge Theophilus ruled that the
tracks at the permission Of the rail-
road for the mutual benefit Of the rail-
way system and those constructing
them.
"The equitable thing to do" re-
marked JuQSe 1HeOpluuS IN Hdlluii6
down his opinion. "is to have the i'm
provements appraised and the railroad
pay for such improvements. thereby
awarding the land to the railroad and
the improvements to the Pearl City
Fuel Company and other owners"
The court allotted the defense six
months in which to dispose Of the
buildings, altho during that time rental
must be paid the railroad.
The attorneys for the Pearl City
Fuel Company. the Block company and
Grimm indicated that they would take
appeals in the case. The railroad is
likewise expected to take an appeal
from the ruling that 1t must pay for
the buildings erected on its own
ground.

Hurt While Blasting

j. 3. Jones, three sons and
Roy Green had narrow escapes
from serious injury while blast
ing st mps last evening. They
had put several sticks Of dyna-
mite beneath large stump but
one failed to explode and after
waiting a reasonable length of
time they went up to relight it
when it exploded and tore the
stump to pieces. j. E. Jones,
Herman and Homer Jones and
Roy Green were all knocked
unconscious while Ray Jones
was knocked d wn and
stunned. DIR. John Tamisiea
was called Immediately and he
found j. b Jones the most
seriously injured with three
ribs broken where a piece of
the stump had struck him a
glancing blow. Herman Jones
had a cut over one eye and
all of them looked pretty bad
from the effects. The accident
was a lucky one that no one
was killed or more seriously in
liured Henceforth Ellis says
he will hire some one else to
blast stumps for him and he
will keep at safe distance.
