REGISTRARS WERE WRONG
Court Holds Against Their Position on
Naturalized Citizens.
MUST TAKE THE OATH AS FINAL EVIDENCE
Embargo I.nlil on Foreign-Horn Vot
ers Is Itcmoved hr a Manilnnuin
Which Olvrs Cltlsens it
Itlicltt to Vote.
Judge Aylcsworth of tho superior court
lfltued yesterday afternoon, on application
of Louis Krese, a .writ of mandamus com
pelling Fritz Frohardt and D. J. Whlttnkcr,
the registrars In the Second precinct of tiio
Fourth ward, to enter the applicants name
ou. the registration lists, notwithstanding
the fact that he nas a naturalized cltlarn
and had forgotten tho exact ditto of his
naturalization papers, which he had either
mislaid or lost. This was tho test case
brought as the outcome of the refusal of
the registration boards throughout the city
Friday to register any foreign-born citizen
unlets ho was able to give tho exact date
of his papers or product the papers them
selves. Assistant County Attorney Kimball and
Justice of tho Peace Fcrrlcr appeared for
Frcee, while City Clerk Phillips was pres
ent on behalf of the registrars throughout
the city. In presenting tho caso of tho
applicant the assistant county nttorucy
tcok tho position' that whllo the question
at bar had not been passed upon by the
lowa supreme court, tho supremo court of
Michigan had held a law void which re
quired a naturalized voter to provo tho
date of his papers and place of naturaliza
tion, because nil that could be constitu
tionally required of such a voter would be
his oath that ho was a citizen of the United
States, as Is required of native-born citi
zens.
On behalf of the registrars It was con
tended that the law of this state evidently
required where a foreign-born voter could
not swear as to the exact date and place
ho received his naturalization papers that
he should produce them before the reg
istrars could placo his name on tho voting
lists.

000 for the erection of a city hospital. The
only conditions attending the gift aro that
tho city shall furnish another $50,000, to bo
devoted to tho purpose of a permanent fund
for tho hospital nnd that tho hospital service
shall bo free to persons of ull colors and
creeds,
Mr. Slimmer Is a man of advanced age and
abundant means nnd is becoming well known
ns a philanthropist. In 1896 he mado a sim
ilar gift to the Flnley hospital at Dubuque,
which was ncccpted, and has resulted In the
erection of a handsome new building In that

SIOUX CITY. Oct. 27. (Special.) The su
preme court of Iowa has granted a writ of
error whereby D. II. Talbot's suit against

REWARD OF MERIT.
A flew Catarrh Cure Secure Xat tonal
Popularity In Less Than One Year.
Throughout a great nation ot eighty mil
lion It is a desperate struggle to secure even
a recognition for a new article to say noth
ing of achieving popular favor, and yet
within one year Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, tho
now catarrh euro, has mot with such suc
cess that today It can be found in eveo
drug store throughout the United States and
Canada.
To bo sure, a large amount of advertising
was nocestary In tho first Instance to bring
tho remedy to tho attention of the public
but every one ramtliar with the subjoct
knows that advertising alone never mnde
any article permanently successful. It must
havo In addition absolute, undeniable merit,
and this tho new catarrh euro certainly pos
sesses In a marked degree.
Physicians, who formerly depended upon
Inhalers, sprays and local washes or oint
ments now use Stuart's Catarrh Tablets be
cause, as one of tho moat promlnont stated,
theso tablots contain in pleasant, conven
ient form all the really efficient catarrh rem
edies, such ns red gum, Guaacol, Eucalyptoi,
and Sanguinarla.
They contain no cocaine nor opiate, ana
aro given to llttlo children with entire safe
ty and benefit.
Dr. J. J. Roitlger, of Covington. Kr.. savs:
I suffered from catarrh la my hoad and
throat every fall, with stoppage of the noe
and irritation In the throat affecting ra
voice and often extending to the stomach,
cnuslng catarrh of the stomach. I bought a

DES MOINES, Oct. 27. (Special Tele
gram.) Secrutury Kennedy of tho State
Board ot Health returned today from Ames,
whero ho went to lnvcstlgato tho causo
for tho epidemic or typhoid fever that Is
reported from tho Statu Agricultural col
lege. Dr. Kennedy said: "I mado a thor
ough examination and brought homo with
mo samples of tho water supply of the
college, which will bo examined by tho
chemist and bacteriologist of tho stato
board. This water was examined by tho
professors at tho college, but the manage
ment asked that tho stato board mako a
second examination for tho purposo of con
firming results ulrendy obtained."
Asked it he had any well grounded opin
ions ns to tho causo of tho rover. Dr. Ken
nedy said thero wan no doubt In his mind
tho troublo was caused by milk furnished
tho Institution by a farmer In whose fam
ily wero 'cases of typhoid. Ho said: "Tho
number of patlonts has reached fifty-five.
Of this number ten havo been sent to tholr
homos In various cities and the others are
being woll cared for nt tho college. The
old ngrlculturnl building hns been con
verted Into a hospital, the regular hos
pital building Is undergoing repairs, and
tho best ot caro and nttcntlon Is being
given to all. Ono patient has died and
three others are In a very critical condi
tion, with tho chnncea ngalnst their recov
ery. One bad feature of tho situation is
that the patients with few exceptions have
not yet reached tho critical stago of the
disease and tho fatalities yet to como aro
n matter of uncertainty. But Sho faculty
is doing all that can be dono and we can
only hope for tho best."
