A SAD COINCIDENCE

Word was received here yesterday
of the death of Mrs. John Mccain at
the asylum at Clarinda The burial
is today from the home of John
Mccain at Taintor, la.
Mrs. Mccain was Eva Noble and
is sister of Mrs. Stewart of Seaton-
vile. She lived here at one time and
moved with her family to Taintor..
About three months ago, on return
ing from hunting trip, Mr.. Mccain
was showing his gun to his little
seven year old son, when he acct
dentally pulled the twigger and shell
was discharged, killing the little boy
before his mothers eyes. The shock
of her childs death caused her mind
to become deranged and subsequently
she was placed in the asylum, where,
a few weeks later, she died.
1t is said that brooding over the
boys death and the news of his wife's
demise has caused grave fears for
Mr.. McCain's condition.

ARTHUR A CANDIDATE FOR
SUPREME COuRT

SUPREME COURT.
Judge Thomas Arthur of Logan is a
candidate for nomination on the re-
publican ticket for place on the SUI
preme court bench of the state.
J Judge Arthur has been on the bench
in this court for several years and he
has made splendid record. He is a
just and fair Judge and he is eminent
ly popular both with the bar and the
public.
Judge Arthur has ability of high
order but his chief characteristics are
unfailing good humor and a keen,
common sense which enables him to
see through maze of technicalities
the essential points in case before
him for consideration. In these re-
spects he resembles the character and
/, habits of Honest Abe" Lincoln.
| The bench in this district, we be-
lieve, has been occupied by very sin
cere as we'll as very high grade men
throughout it whole history. Arthur
has been no exception to this grade
rule. He is in every respect worthy
and we'll qualified for the further pre-
ferment which he seeks.
1t is a genuine. pleasure for The
Nonpareil to join with the Harrison
county branch in boosting for Judge
Arthur. He should get strong sup
port in this part of the state. for he
deserves it. The Judge is 100 per
cent American. And he will doubtless
have formidable strength in all parts
of the state for he has wide ac-
quaintance. And there are no flaws
in his record either as a man or a
judge. -Nonpareil.

Was On Verge of Nervous Prostra-
tion-Gains Ten Pounds and
Troubles End.


many recent statements regarding
Tanlac was made by Mrs. Isabella
Rowe of 1917 West Walnut St., Des
Moines, Iowa, in an interview, recent
ly.
Mrs. Rowe, who is trained nurse
of wide experience in relieving suf-
fering and we'll known to the people
of Des Moines, is only one of the great
many in her profession, who after
having realized it's remarkable pow
ers, have become ardent champions of
the Master Medicine.
When asked if She was willing for
her statement to be published, Mrs.
Rowe said:
eyes, indeed, for l firmly believe
Tanlac has saved me from nervous
prostration and am glad to make a
statement which may be of benefit to
the vast number who are in need of
such medicine
II had suffere dfrom stomach and
liver trouble, disordered kidneys and
extreme nervousness for year or
more. My food would not digest
properly and l not only suffered in
tense pain in my stomach after eat
ing, but my heart would palpitate so
from the pressure of gas that Icould
scarcely breathe. In fact, my whole
body was full of pain and the small of
my back, especially, hurt me so at
times felt like l would go distract
ed. had lost great deal in weight
and even my friends were talking
about how weak and run down look
ed.
II had tried many other medicines
before getting Tanlac, but nothing
gave me more than little passing re-
lief. My entire system seemed to be
broken down. l could not get but lit
tie sleep or rest and was right on the
verge of nervous prostration. | be-
lieve l would have had to give uD en-
tirely in short time if had not got
ten Tanlac. But now / am like diff
ferent woman altogether. l can eat
just anything want and everything
seems to agree with me perfectly, as
never have any more pain, palpita-
ton or any other symptoms of indi-
gestion. In fact, all my pain as we'll
as the nervousness and that weak,
worn out feeling is gone, and l have
also gained ten pounds in weight. Be-
fore taking Tanloc could not hold
out to walk a block, but the other day
l got out and walked fifty-nine blocks,
and felt none the worst from it. 1
have never known a medicine accom-
plishing such wonderful results as
Tanlac. / don't believe there's an
other like it and it gives me pleasure
to recommend it."
Tanlac is sold in Missouri Valley by
r. w. Harvey; in Mondamin by H. A.
scarr; in Logan by Jos. CAVITY. and
in Dunlap by E. S. Satterlee.

TO
SANTA

Boys and Girls, the Santa letters
have about swamped US, they have
been pouring in so fast, but we are
trying to keep up yith them, and are
printing quite grist of them today.
~ is fine how you youngsters are
Wfying to keep within the rules, max
ing your letters brief and to the
point, and writing on one side OF
the paper only. Not more than two
have violated the latter rule this year.
You probably have noticed the dis
appearance of the Adventures of the
Twins from the columns of the
Times-Recorder this week. The twins
are only taking an early Christmas
vacation to make room for the Santa
Claus letters, and they will be back
about Christmas time for regular
daily visits. All of you who are not
acquainted with these delightful
fairyland adventure characters must
keep up with them when they resume
again soon. You can start any day
and soon get to be fast friends.
