of a chicken fancier and had a coop of fin

valuable but were his especial prldo. Yes
terday morning he found the coop broken
open and nothing , but a few heads and
feathers left. Ho has a pretty good Idea ate
to who the thief Is , and has Hied an In
formation In Justice Cook's court , but omlttcc
the name. Yesterday ho found where the
thieves had sold thirteen of his plump , fa
darlings to a butcher. The culprits wll
probably bo arrested today.
From numerous letters that have been re

Mr. Allen left hero ho entered upon his work
In his new field with the brightest of pros

church hero have been receiving communion
tlons from members and officers of the lluf
falo church relative to Mr. Allen's llfo am
work here , and It Is presumed that some o
thcso letters have not been altogether
friendly. None ot the details ot the trouble
have been made public , even It they have

IBANK WAS SOLVENT IN i89i
Attorney Eruco Establishes an Important
Point for tbo Dickcrson Defense.
STATE MAKES A STAND-OFF ON THE DAY
One AVIIncNH Proven n Tnrlnr nnd
Another n CJoml Tliliin Trouble
ItrettliiK AIIIOIIK tinIim -
) ern for the ProHcciillon.
Contrary to the advice ot his fellow at
torneys for the state , Attorney Brucs called
George II. Roblnton to the witness stand
In the Dickcrson case again yesterday. Sir.
Robinson was n bookkeeper In the Casi
County bank for cloven years , from 1SSO
to 1891 , and It has been the desire of Mr.
Bruce to provo by Mr , Robinson that the
Cnss County bank was Insolvent In 1891.
Other attotneys In the case were * opposed to
pressing the point , but Mr. Bruce had mat
ters his own way nnd got a direct and pos'- '
llvo statement from Mr. Roblnton that the
Cass County bank was , In his estimation ,
perfectly solvent In 1S91.
On the other hand the state presented
a strong witness , through Mr. Swan , In
Henry Myer.i , a farmer , who testified that
ho had given Isaac Dlckerson a check for
$1,909 to pay a mortgage on his farm , and
that the money got Into the Cass County
bank and was ne\or applied to the purpow
Intended. Those were the principal features
of the- case ycstciday and honors were oven.
At the morning session of the court D.
\V. Smart and W. E. Blair , both of At
lantic , testified that they had about J2.000
each on deposit In the Oiss County bank , and
were unable 'to get tholr money when the
deposit certificates were due. Both men
lost their money.
W. C. Carter testified to having gone to
Sllesourl with requisition papers for Isaac
Dickcrson. He saw all the live towns of
the state that claimed Jesse Janus , but
did not find hla man.
J. B. Aldrlch had a number of certificates
In the Cass County bank which Isaac Dlck
erson had endorsed nt the time they fell
due , along In November , 1893. Ho did not
see- Isaac Dlckerton cmdorso the certificates ,
but when he presented them at the bank
A. W. Dlckcraon went out nnd came back
with what purported to be the endorsement
of Isaac Dickcrson on the back of the cer
tificates of deposit. He said he allowed , his
money to remain In the bank on the strength
uf Isaac Dlckcrson'a endorsement , and thus
lost $1.GOO. He tcbtlflcd that he went to
Isaac Dlckerson's house , and that Isaac
Dlckcrpon told him that when he would dis
pose of his homestead he would ECO that the
witness got what ho had In the bank. Ho
did not remember talking with A. W. Dick
crson after the failure of the bank , and
could not remember that Isaac Dlckereon
had said to him that Ihe only trouble with
the bank was a lack of currency.
John A. Frank was put on the stand to
bliov/ that ho had seen Isaac Dlckerson talkIng -
Ing with A. W. Dlckerson , the bank's
cashier , on the streets of Atlantic.
"Do you mean to say that you really saw
this defendant talking to his son , right on
the streets of Atlantic ? " asked Mr. Mc-
Pherson. "Wasn't that awful ? Do they
allow a father to talk to his son on the
streets of Atlantic ? Why In heaven's name ,
when you saw them talking , didn't you call
a policeman ? " Of course none ot Mr. Mc-
Pherson's questions were answered , but he
got them In before the court's objection
could be secured , and they answered the pur
pose for which they were Intended.
WHAT THE BOOKKEEPER KNEW.
G. H. Robinson was recalled and testified
that Isaac Dlckersan had been In the bank
In May , 1SOO , with President Yetzer of the
bank , and had examined the bills receivable
ot the bank. Lists had been prepared of the
men who owned the bank and these llsto
were examined by Mr. Dlckerson and by
Mr. Yetzer. Mr. Robinson testified that ho
know the condition of the bank when he
left It In 1891.
"State thc-n , " said Mr. Bruce , "what the
condition of the bank was then as to being
yolvent or insolvent. "
"I consider the bank was solvent , " re
plied Mr. Iloblnson , and the attorneys for
the defense seemed to appreciate the answer
moro than did Mr. Bruce.
Perfectly solvent ? " asked Mr. Bruce.
"I would say that the bank at that time , "
replied ( ho witness , "had assets sufficient
to meet all of Its liabilities"
Mr. Bruce was not satisfied. He ques
tioned the witness about the bank's bad
paper , and the amount due the bank from
Its directors , and then repeated lilu ques
tion : "Mr , Robinson , I want to ask you , If
In the light of your knowledge of all the
affairs of the bank , you considered the Cass
County bank solvent or Insolvent when you
left the employ of the bank In 1891 ? "
"I would consider the bank solvent , " re
plied Mr. Robinron.
Even then Mr. Bruce was not through.
Ho repeated the question again , and then
once more In a new form , and was finally
stopped by Judge Smith , who said : "You
have asked the question three times and
the witness has answered three times , und
about three kinds of Insolvency. "
Then Mr. Bruce gave It up and allowed
Attorney Swan to examine R. A. King of
Atlantic , the next witness. Mr. King had
purchased a"'draft at the Cass County bank
and bad taken it to Dakota , but had been
unable to get It cashed. Ho testified that
he returned from Dakota In August and
saw Isaac Dlckerson In the Caiu- County
bank during the month of August quite
frequently. Ho admitted on cross-examina
tion that it was nothing * unusual to see Mr.
Dlckerson In the back room of the bank
reading the newspapers.
Receiver Stelnko was recalled by the state
and testified that the Dlckerson building was
encumbered , December 27 , 1893 , to the amount
of $1,000 , and that there was a mortgage ot
$1,200 on a frame building adjoining the
brick building. The Incumbranco on the
Dlckorson building , occupied by the Demo
crat printing office , amounted to $2,400 , and
that other properly owned by Isaac Dicker-
son was mortgaged , nnd tome of It was not.
The bank building was free from Incum-
b'ranco , except some $700 taxes. The Bosteel
building had mortgages agalnet It amounting
to $20,000. On the Gage & Archer building
Ihero was a mechanic's leln of $207. The
McDowell block wag free from debt and the
vineyard , a tract of land of eleven acres , was
also unencumbered. The Seaman farm of
eighty acres was mortgaged for $754. The
Saundera farm , 144 acres , near the town of
Atlantic , was mortgaged for $6OQO. The
Bird farm of 282 acres , near the town , was
mortgaged for $8,000. and a lumberman's
len for $58.07. The Benlon township
farm , 280 acres , ten miles from Atlantic , had
a mortgage of100 against It , and the Indian
creek farms , 740 acres , nine miles from At-
antlc , were mortgaged for $10,000. The Mill
property In Atlantic , the only flouring mill
n the town , was not encumbered , except for
lens amounting to $82.20 ,
On cross-examination Mr. Stelnke stated
.hat he received his Information as to the
ndebtcdness on tbo property from notes ,
nortgages , books of the bank , correspondence -
once with holders of the mortgages and from
conversations with the officials of the bank.
Then Mr. Organ showed that the list of lu-
cumbrances had not been made up by Mr.
Stelnko himself.
Before the cross-examination was com
pleted Mr. Bruce withdrew all the testimony
ot Mr. Stelnko concerning the Incnmbrance
on the property mentioned. Mr. Organ se
cured from Mr. Stelnke. that he bad testified
at Qlenwood that one piece of property was
valued at $800 , and ho bad placed the valuation
n this trial at $600. Thcro was a lengthy
ross-cxamlnatlon , In which Mr , Organ sought
o show that Receiver Stelnke hud placed the
owett possible valuation on the property
wned by the Dlckersons , which came Into
its possession as the receiver ot the bank ,
n this effort he was partially successful , and
wholly successful in getting Mr. Stelnke very
wrathy. Nothing Important wa brought out
iy the contest for either tide of the cue.
MONEY FOR MYER'S MORTGAGE.
Henry Myer , a farmer living near Wlota ,
estlfied that on Ocfber 14 , 1893 , he depodted
1.909.80 In the COM County bank to pay a
nortRage on hli Und held by the Connecticut
Jutual Life Insurance company. Ho gave
hit check for the amount to Isaac Dickcrson
In bin office , and Dlckcrson p re ml red to take
the money and pay the mortgage. He
learned on December 27 that the Interest of
the mortgage , $109.80 , bad been paid , but ( hit
the principal , $1,000 , had rrt been paid. "On
December 27 , 1E93 , " paid the witness , "at 3
o'clock Ipaac Dlckerson told me that the $1,900
had not been paid , and that the check I had
given him had disappeared from the drawer.
He said that the cashier At Dickcrson , who
was thcro would give mo a draft for the
amount. I said there was two and a halt
months' Interest due , and Isaac Dlckerson
said he would attend to that. He then told
Al to Irsuo the draft. He did so , and I rent
the draft away and It came back unpaid.
' 'When the draft was returned I siiw Isaac
Dickcrson en January 15 , 1894 , and told him
I was going to hive him arrested for em
bezzlement for belting mo out of my money.
Ha asked me to have pity on his gray hairs
and not bring dl&grace upon him. He of
fered to make a contract to pay the money In
ono year. Ho told me aim that the reason
my check for $1,909.80 was not cashed In
October was that the bank could not spare
the funds. "
On cross-examination Mr. Mycr stated
that ho had all of the $1,909.80 on deposit
except $243.40 , nnd ho borrowed that sum
from the bank. He got the check for the
amount from A. W. Dlckerson and took It
to Isaac Dlckerson's office nnd gave It to
him , after endorsing It. He was In Mr.
Dlckorsan's office three times between Oc-
tobJr 14 nnd Dscember 27. Mr. Mycr was
of the opinion that Isaac Dlckerson had that
$1,900 , nnd would owear that such was his
opinion , but finally admitted , with n great
deal of reluctance , that ho left his money
at the Cass County bank and had taken
what he- supposed was a check for $1,909.80.
Ho could not read English well enough to
read writing readily , and had not read what
was on the check given him by A. W. Dick
crson. Mr. Organ asked the witness to read
the draft referred to and found him unable
to do so.
ATTORNEYS DO NOT AGREE.
Thcro Is trouble In the ranks of the at
torneys for the state In the Dlckerson cas ? ,
fcnd the facts might as well be told about
It now na any time. Mr. Doorman Is county
attorney of Oass county and Is very familiar
with all the Dickcrson troubles and the Cass
County bank case. Ho went through the
case at GUnwood when Isaac Dlckerson
was tried In Mills county , and prosecuted
the case very vigorously , assisted by Major
Curtis of Atlantic and Shirley Gllllland , the
proi'ecutlng ' attorney for Mills county. When
the arrangements were being made for the
trial ot the present case In this county Jim
Bruce , a lawyer-banker of Anita , Cass county ,
was suggested for a place In the list of
ftato's attorneys. The Cass County Board
of Supervisors discussed the quet-tlon of em
ploying special counsel to assist Mr. Boor-
man , and the board was divided on the
proposition. Ono of the supervisors from
Anita finally announced that be was In favor
of the appropriation for special counsel If
Jim Bruce was selected at' the special coun
sel , and Bruce was added to the list.
Before Bruce WKS selected to assist In
the cise , Charles M. Harl dt Council Bluffs
had been retained , and Attorney Swan of
Atlantic wan also on the list. When the
case came en for trial Bruce assumed the
Icadeni'ilp. He has examined all of the
witnesses , with very few exceptions , and
has simply Ignored Mr. Boorman and Mr.
Harl , neither of whom has been allowed
to take any part In the proceedings , and
the result Is only what might have boon
expected. Both Boorman and Hnrl arc dis
gusted and are unabVo to conceal It. The
case has taken such a turn that neither of
them are anxious to take any prominent
part In the proceedings. The state will
probably finish the- offer of Its direct evi
dence today , and of. the fifty witnesses called
less than a half a dozen have given testi
mony that has been considered damaging
by the defense. Several ot the witnesses
have Impeached themselves and others have
been bettor witnesses for the defense than
they have for the state.
BRUCE CATCHES A TARTAR.
The differences came rear culminating yes
terday when Mr. Bruce Insisted upon putting
G. H. Robinson on the stand to prove by him
that the Cass County bank was Insolvent In
1891 , when he was employed there.as a book
keeper. Mr. Harl had talked with Robinson
and knew that he would not give the proposed
evidence , but Bruce had his own way and
Mr. Robinson went on the stand for the
state and testified that the bank was
thoroughly solvent In 1891 , and answered the
questions In a halt dozen different ways. Mr
Harl left the room during the oiler of this
evidence , Mr. Boorman had business In the
cloak room and Mr. Swan put on his blue
glasses to conceal his disgust. The nt-
tcrneys associated with Mr. Bruce arc no :
claiming any credit that may fall to the
prosecution.
Then to make the matter binding an article
appeared In the Des Molnes Register yes
terday morning , signed by "J. E. , " and dated
nt Council Bluffs , charging The Bco with
making biased reports of the trial , and asking
that the state be given a "square deal. " The
Bee correspondent was accused of being a
relative of A. W. Dlckerson , and of purposely
doctoring the reports of the trial. The facts
are that the reports of the evidence addusei
at the trial have appeared In all the papers
of Council Bluffs nnd Omaha substantially
alike , and The Bee , less than any other
paper , has referred to the weakness of the
state's case.

WHAT STAirri D THE JUG F1HE.
IiiHiimiicc Companion Inclined to Let
the Court Aimwer the UiioHtlon.
Special agents of several of the Insurance
companies that contributed their portion to
pay the heavy losses that occurred In the
recent disastrous fires in the agricultural
Implement district on South Main street
liave been raking over tbo coals again. All
ot the losses have been adjusted and paid ,
nnd It was supposed that everybody was
satisfied with the situation as it now stands.
But the insurance companies liavo struck anew
now lead that promises to develop a law
suit , where the legal fight will be for the
recovery of over $100,000 paid by the com
panies to cover the losses.
The origin ot the fire was carefully In
quired Into at the time , and it was pretty
generally believed that the/ flames were
started by a spark from an engine. The
companies now claim that the fire was
started by the careless handling of a pile of
rubbish that was being burned on the ground *
of' one ot the railroad companies , whoso
tracks run close to the burned buildings ,
and that the fire was started by an employe
of the railroad company , A strong south
wind was blowing at the time , and It Is
claimed that this man neglected to watch
bis fire and permitted some of the/ blazing
paper to be carried underneath the platform
of the Shugart building , setting It on tire.
This was the first building destroyed. Agents
of the insurance companies and local at
torneys were talking over the matter yes
terday , and the conviction seemed to be
fixed that a suit for the recovery ot the en-
tire amount of the losses would bo Instituted
at once. The railroad companies that will
be made defendants are the Burlington and
the Milwaukee , tor It la cald that the em
ployes of both companies were assisting in
burning the rubbish. If the case Is started
It will bo brought in the United States
district court at the coming March term.

Slnco the Introduction In the city counel
cf the Iowa Construction company's ordl
nance , by which It Is sought to pecuro th
right ot way abng Indian creek , there ha
been a good deal of speculation and mucl
more curiosity to know what was the rca
meaning' the movement. People inclined to
crltlcU-e John W. Paul were not backwnn
In their assertions that It was likely to prove
an Individual scheme of Mr. Paul to secure a
franchise that he might ps > lbly wme time
realize upon. Developments of the last twcn
ty-four hcurs , however , Indicate thai what
ever the rchemo Is It Is a part of the scheme
In which the Union Land nnd Improvemen
company , John W. Paul nnd the Councl
Bluffa Stock Yards company were Interested
and which premised great things and crcatcc
a boom In real estate In the northwestern
part ot the city n year ago laet summer
Just what connection It has with the. asplra
tlons ot the bridge and terminal company , o
If It has any at all , are subjects that are al
together within the realms of conjecture.
When the now stock yards company wn
Incorporated In the rummer of 1894 condom
natlcn proceedings wore started by filing wit ]
the sheriff the plat of n largo number or lot
lying along the east side of the Driving
park and a triangular tract of ground
lying within the Y formed by North Twcntl
eth street nnd the tracks laid upon the levy
No property was condemned for trackage pur
poses for the reason , It Is said , that the
drouth and the hard tlmca made It advisable
to delay the work contemplated. The paper
have rested since then In the sheriff's office
Thesxj papera have been fished out of the
plgon holes , nnd It Is now Intimated that the
sheriff will bo required to go ahead and con
demn the property. A glance at the plat fur
nlshed the ehcrlff nnd the plat of the pro
posed Indian creek grant show that there 1.
a palpable connection between the two , the
blue prints leaving n break ot only a few
blocks west of the Northwestern main lltu.
track ? .
The articles ot the Iowa Construction cm
pany were filed last April In the county re
corder's office. At the time no Interest was
awakened and the newrpapars only pave n few
lines to the subject. But since the Indlat
creek ordinance has como up and the con
damnation proceedings revived the construe
tlon company's articles are ct some Interest
The articles say that the general nature o
the business to bo transacted by the said
corporation shall be the construction of rail
ways , transfer yards , stock yards , packing
housas , water works , electric light and power
plants , and any and all other business relat
ing to or In conformity with such cm
panics. The amount cf the capital stock IE
$500,000 , which may be Increased by a two
thirds vote ot the stockholders. The ecrpo
ratlcn shall commence business when $50,000
ot the stock Is subscribed.1 The corpo
ration shall commence business on the firs
day ot April , 1895 , and shall continue Mr a
period of twenty years , unless rooncr dls
solved by a vote of the stockholders. The
articles nro signed by R. C. ticwcll , John B
Robinson and M. E. Wlnn ? and are dated
Chicago , April C , 1895. They-'are acknowl
edged by Edwin G. Lancaster- dock county
notary.
What there Is back of the ; Mheme Is onlj
a matter of the merest conjecture. If John
AV. Paul knows ho also knows How to keep
ffcm telling It. A railway line down Indian
creek , connecting with the elaborate system
of trackage that Is laid outron both sides o
the river and partially completed , would
certainly mean that something more thar

Cherokee Aiitliorltlex Nnli J. A. Scott
of ClilcnKO.
CHEROKEE , la. , Jan. 16. ( Special. ) One
of .the . most Important arrests over effected
by the police at Cherokee was made today
and perhaps one of the smoothest crooks
that ever struck Iowa Is safely behind the
bars. The man arrested registered at the
betel as J. A. Scott of Chicago. Ho carried
a fine sample case full of surgical instru
ments and claims .to bo the representative
of Huston Bros. , manufacturers of surgical
and dental Instruments , of 125 South Clark
street , Chicago , and presented ono of that
firm's cards to each of the different doctors
on whom ho called. Dr. Sherman was the
first physician he called to see and he was
" touched" little bit harder
just a than the
other victims. Scott was well drojsed and
fine appearing and well posted on the uee
and qualities of the different styles of Instru
ments which ho carried. This , together with
the manly bearing , throw off nil suspicion.
The next day after ho called at Sherman's
office the doctor was called out and at once
mtsscd his operating glasses. Further search
revealed the fact that Bovorau | flno Instru
ments , among which wafj.a puVgeon's field
case , were also gone. He/U ( ODco suspected
the salesman and started duf : IB warch of an
officer. Acting under advcq ( p'l the marshal
he sent for the man , saying that ho wished
to purchase an lnstrumeiil''ivilch ' ! ho had
found sudden use for. Tho.fdlaw came and
Sherman made- the puroh/isq / , , flt the same
time getting his eye on one of his own In
struments. He at once lablled his door and
commanded the crook to deliver' up his prop
erty. Scott became very''Indignant and
stoutly denied the chargeibiif-Mras compolloj
to "show up. " and all of tli < missing articles
were found on his person , together with sev
eral which had been taken if rom * other local
physicians. Ho was at cpice" put under ar
rest and searched. On nig 'person , In hli
sample case and a bundle'tharSvas found In
his room at the hotel WeVe'-found clews to
$1,000 worth of Bccond-hand.'In trumcnts , all
of which are supposed to Myp been stolen
from doctors nt different fpw/jp throughout

DBS M01NES , Jan. 1C. ( Special. ) This
has been a gala day for the republicans of
Iowa. Nearly every prominent party worker
In the state seems to have felt that It was
his personal duty to see Governor Drake
take the oath and enter upon the discharge
of the duties ot the high office to which
ho has been called. Drake university , too
young men and women , staid college pro
fessors and nil was out In force to wit
ness the elevation of their munificent patron
to the highest office within the gift ot the
Iowa people. The alumni ot the college
scattered all over the state made a pil
grimage to the Capital City to take the
hand ot the man by whose magnificent gener
osity Drake university was made possible ,
and to wish him Godspeed In guiding the
helm of state. Ccntervlllo , of course , was
hero with ( Ings and banners , berne by promi
nent citizens without distinction of party , to
shara In the honors bestowed upon her most
distinguished citizen. The democrats sccmci
to vie with the republicans In making the
Inauguration of Governor Drake a success
In every particular.
Ex-Governor Larrabco came down from
hla classic home nt Clcrmont to add his
presence to the scene , ami Senator Allison
postponed his return to his duties In order
to participate In the reception and lend
the charm of his presence to the occasion.
Never In recent years has an Iowa governor
entered upon the discharge of his duties
under more favorable auspices or with the
heartier good will of a host of both political
and personal friends. The rotunda of the
capltol was tastefully though not expensively
decorated , under the direction of the cus
todian. The public Mas shut out by tem
porary barriers from the rotunda , except
the corridors , the reserved space being
barely sufficient to seat ths privileged. The
members of each house were permitted Just
one extra ticket each , and not one-tenth
of the people who desired to do so could
get within hearing distance whllo the In
augural was being delivered. The upper
balcony , reserved for the public , was crowded
and Jammed with a dense mass of humanity
striving to gain some point to better ob
serve the exercises below. The Imu urnl
was listened to with marked attention , and
at times drew forth applause.
WAS A NOTABLE THRONG.
The ceremony took place at 2:30 : this after
noon on a platform In the rotunda of the
building In the presence of several
thousand people. _ Ther Inaugural pro
cession formed on the west side
at 1:30 : p. m. and began O march to the capl
tol. Companies A and II of Des Mlnc ? , with
the governor's staff , formed the military es > -
cort. Carriages In the procession \\ere occu
pied by Governor Jackson and wife , General
Drake and daughter , Lieutenant Governor
Dungan , Lieutenant Governor Parrott , the
Justices of the Iowa supreme c\irt. Senator
Allison , J. S. darken , ex-Governorw
Larrabeo and Sherman , members of the In
auguration committees appointed by the
house and senate , and other distinguished
citizens.
The procession arrived at the south door
of the capltol building shortly after 2 o'clock
and the party went at. once to the stand.
The members ot the legislature had arrived
previously and were seated surrounding the
stage. The general public crowded the corridors
riders to the * cast , west and north , and a
large number were In the rotunda above ,
where an ( excellent view of the stage was
obtained. ' After music ; and prayer ; the oath
ot office wao administered oy Chief Justice
Rothrcck to General Drake and Mr. Parrott.
General Drake then presented his Inaugural.
ENDORSES THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Governor Drake In his Inaugural among
other things said : "The stand tak n by the
president In favor of the enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine has received the msst un
hesitating and most cordial approval of pa
triotic people of all political parties. The
Immediate action taken In both houses cf con
gress sounded the keynote ot the true Ameri
can policy. The grand chorus of American
voices Is now heard in unbroken harmony
and with such perfect unity thrcughout the
western hemisphere that all the world must
know and England bo well advised that no
further encroachments upn American poll
will be tolerated. It Is the duty of the
United States eacredly to guard and protect
America and American Interests to the full
est extent and to resist all encroachments by
all means In Its power.
"Tho growth of liberty , freedom of thought
and conscientious action and the rapid ad
vancement of Christian civilization In Amor-
lea and the western hemisphere shew a very
marked contrast with those of the eastern
hemisphere. Their civilization Is European :
ours Intensely American. Wo claim no
rights to enter upon or trespass upon the ter
ritory ot the eastern , and we- Interpret the
Monroe doctrine to be that they as Europeans
liavo no right to encroach upon the territory
of the western Wo do not claim that the
Monroe doctrine Is international law , but
wo do claim that It has long been declared
a fundamental doctrine of the American people
ple , Intended to b maintained ; and we do
not bellevo It Is a subject of arbitration In
which the representative of any European
power 1 competent , to participate. The
lionor of this great 'nation and 'the perpetuity
of this republican government ore Involved
n this momentous question. The time hau
como when this question must bo settled
and the principle contended for acknowl
edged. Wo hope this will be done peacefully ,
tnit If under provldencs of almighty God and
In the Interest of liberty and Justice It can
not bo so done , Iowa Is ready to acquiesce
n the determination cf the nation for the defense -
fenso of its Integrity and the maintenance
of this vital principle , If necessary , with
.orco of anna. "
Regarding Armenia he said "
, : "So-called
Christian civilization which tljiis tolerates
the Inhuman butchery of Innocent Christian
people Is not worthy to be coupled with that
of American Clrffsllan civilization , Such a
'oul assault on Christianity and such In-
luman practices would bo of short duration
on this western hemisphere. No bsundary
lines would suffice to stay tbo onward rush
of American soldiers for the protection of
the Innocent and the condign punishment of
the guilty , "
SATISFIED WITH MULCT.
"Tho liquor question , " ho said , "has. long
iecn one ot eertous discussion and the ma-
orlty of the people , being anxious to secure
ho most favorable results , pronounced In
'avor ' of local self-government and relegated
ho question to the representative districts.
The Twenty-fifth general assembly , to preserve -
servo prohibition In those localities where. It
could bo made effective , and to control the
radio in the other localities , enacted what In
known as the mulct law. That law has since
iecn In force , and upon information I bellevo
s giving reasonable satisfaction , still leaving
be prohibitory law undisturbed In localities
vhero it is preferred. At the same session
of the legislature preliminary steps were
aken for the resubmlsslon of a prohibitory
amendment to the constitution. These ques
tions will ba before you for your earnest con
sideration , and I doubt not will be deter-
nlncd by you In the exorcise of wisdom and
n , sincerity as the chosen representatives of
ho senatorial and representative districts ,
and with all due regard for the wishes of
our constituents , keeping In mind tbo wel
fare of the state. "

SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HcART
| TROUBLES.
Do Xnt lie Alnriueil , lint Lnuk for the
Uuiixe.
Heart troubles , at least among Americans ,
arc- certainly Increasing and whllo this maybe
bo largely due to the worry and excitement
ot American business life , It Is more often
the result ot weak stomachs , of poor diges
tion.
tion.Real
Real , organic heart disease Is Incurable ,
but not one case In n hundred ot heart
tiouble Is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion Is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the snmo great
nerves , the Sympathetic and Pncumogastrlc.
In another way , nlso. the heart If affecttil
by that form of poor dlgcitlon which causes
Kns and fermentation from half digested
feed ; there Is a feeling of oppression and ,
heaviness In the chest caused by pressure
ot the distende-d stumnuh on the heart and
Jungs , Interfering with tholr action ; hence
arltcj palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion nlso poisons the blood ,
makcti It thin and watery , which Irritates
nnd weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles Is to Improve the digestion and to
Insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best bo done by the regular use ,
after meals , of some safe , pleasant and ef
fective digestive preparation , like Stuart'i
Dyspepsia Tablets , which may be found at
most drug stores anJ which contain val
uable , harmless digestive * elements , In a
pleasant , convenient form.
It Is safe to saj" that the regular , psr-
slslent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form of stomach
troubb except cancer of the stomach.
