The local Board ot Health has been In
something of a quandary for some time to
know Just what course to take In regard to
the Issuance of burial permits and the keep
Ing of the record ot births and deaths for
the reason that the new code has abolished
the old law under which such records were
kept. Copies of an official order from the
State Board of Health were received hero
yesterday which Indicates the procedure that
will bo required for the future. The order
will go Into effect when promulgated In the
Official Bulletin , "published monthly by the
board. The order reads as follono :
Tie ntnv rode having abolished the statute
requiring physicians nnd mldwlvcs to report
births nnd deaths , the query generally has
arisen among local boards ns to the effect
of such repc\nl upon the Issuance of burial
permits , and upon what authority they are
na.v to be lasued.
The repeal of the statute has no effect
upon the regulation made by the State
lioiird of Health requiring burial permits
In nil cities nnd incorporated towns , nnd for
this purpose the local bo.irdg , In such casen
must ridopt regulations requiring physicians
to mnko return of deaths to the clerk or
recorder , nnd prohibit a burial without n
proper permit therefor. This may be. done
by nn ordinance ot the city , or by n regula
tion of the local board. If by the latter , the
city council may by ordinance provide that
a. violation of regulations of the local board
shnll bo liable to n penalty , to be flxe-d In
the ordinance.
The new code requires loc.xl boards to en
force all regulations made by the state
board.

en Immense number of technicalities < ind
nice law points.
Frank C. Jchnson , who died last Scytem-
ber and mon whoso life the policies were

ject of a suit for $50,000 , brought by the
minister against * .he bankjr , Is also a resi
dent of the city , and the wife of a wrll
known business man. Mrs. Johnson was on
the wltnnis stand during a portion of the

and Idti titled a number of letters and com-
mi Locations received from ihe compaiy nnd

HAMPTON , la. , Dec. 10. ( Special. ) The
district court has reduced the amount of
ball required In the case of Henry * Abtoy ot
Sheffield from 116,800 at which figure It wts
originally fixed , to $11.300 , and Abloy Is
making an effort to secure ball to keep him
out ot Jail until the trial of his case , which
cannot occur bcforo the January term of
court. The sheriff has taken possession of
the stock of goods owned by Ablcy and Uie
place has been put In charge of an agent. H
has been learned that Abley was engaged to
bo married to a woman In iMarlons S. C. ,
and that he was soon to have paid her a
visit , but unless ho gets ball the visit will
have to bo postponed. < Ho Is reported also
to have been feigning Insanity since ho was
arrested , and It Is Impossible to tell Just
whnt form his defense will take. As ho its
wealthy he will bo ftblo to secure the best
of legal talent and make a hard fight for
freedom. Some queer facts In regard to the
life of Abley hav t > ecn. brought out slnco the
discovery that he was milking his store In
Shefilcld a "fence" for the goods ho was
stealing from other merchants In Shefilcld
and In ether towns of the county. U Is
stated that twenty years ago his
stepmother was hung In the dooryard of her
homo In an Illinois toun and that his father
was suspected of the crime ; his two half-
sisters mysteriously disappeared and hla
father was shot. Henry and his brother were
tried for the crime. The former was ac <
quitted , but the brother was sent to ' .lio
penitentiary , where he tiled. Ten years ago
Henry Ablcy came to Sheffield , whcro ho has
been charged with various crimes. Hla home
has .been . found to bo a "fence" ' tor tons of
gooJs stolen in Sheffield and neighboring
towns. In ono of the rooms was located hla
locksmmlthy , In which ho Is said to have
made a fey for every 'business building In the
town , Including the bank and the new depot
of the Iowa Central railroad. In the rooms
npstalra and down , was an assortment o :
boo'.s , shoes , bicycles , Jewelry , guns , re
volvers and notions of all kinds. From this
stock ho has been openly selling goods to the
people of Sheflleld and the farmers for miles
around. He is said to have sold fifteen palro
of shoes the Saturday- preceding his arrest
In two chests were found kits of burglars
tools. A hole cut through the floor showed
an underground chamber twelve feet square
for the storage of goods. In a HWle out
building In the back yard was a hole with a
false bottom. In this same back yard was a
huge steel bear trap , capable of holding an
ox. It had been conveniently set for un
Initiated prowlers. It is alleged that Abley
openly appioached City Marshal Archie L
Clock with a proposition to open all the
stores In Sheffield , abstracting therefrom
goods In quantities not largo enough to be
mlsse > d. Clock fell In wlih the scheme am
when ho had evidence arrested Abley. Ho
was hurried to Hampton , where the gram
Jury was In session , and immediately In
dieted on eleven counts.
Thtf next day letters and telegrams began
pouring In from merchants from adjoining
towns asking for inscriptions of goods fount
on Abley'a premises. Much of the stuff ha
been Identified as having been stolen. Abley
has sworn to kill Clock on sight should he
over bo free.

Keokuk Gate- City : If wo may Judge from

public sentiment in Iowa Is practically
unanimous that the etato hasn't money
either to burn or to throw at the birds.
Cedar Rapids Republican : Fred White
has succeeded In raising ten ears of corn
from two grains of corn , which goce to show
that ho knows a great deal more about farm
ing than he does about making votes.
Atlantic Telegraph ; The tax oalo of Caes
county which took place- Monday reveals the
fact that the enllro tax sales this year
amount to only three-fourths of 1 per cent
of the entire taxes collected. This Is a
remarkable showing BO soon after the nerlea
of yearo of hard times through which we
have Just passed , and wo doubt If any county
In the state can make a better Bhowlng.
It shows that wo are situated In the best
part of the best state In the union , and that
our people are thrifty and enterprising.

isiIAW FINALLY DECIDES THE QUESTION
Acln In Accordance -nrltli Uie
of Governor Drake Den Molnen
l.lkcly to Have a New
Union Depot. ,
DBS MOINES , Dec. 10. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Governor-elect Shaw wco hero to-Jay
and held a long conference with Governor
Drake. The governor-olcct has two Impor
tant appointments still to bo determined
adjutant general and dairy commissioner.
Besides these , there Is a llbrarlsu and twelve
or fifteen oil In&pcctora , but they are of less
political concern. 'Tho conference- this after
noon related to the candidacy of General
John R. Prime for adjutant general. Mr.
Shaw has desired to appoint him , but de
sired to loam first If such action would bo
offensive to Governor Drake. Governor
Drake told Mr. Shaw In substance that ho
would consider It a discourtesy If Shaw
should appoint Prime. Mr. Shaw then an
nounced that Prime would be no longer con
sidered lin the mailer. This leaves both
Prime and Wright out of the race , and
Major M. H. Byers of Glcnwood and General
James Rule of Mason City are the leading
candidates remaining , with chnncos believed
to be In favor ot Byors. Both Bycrs and
Rule are old soldiers.
D. A. Kent of Webster City. S. L. Gates
ot Manchester aad Dan Shcchan of Osage
are the candidates for dairy commissioner.
Mr. Gates Is favored 'by Shaw , but Is weak
In cnddrt'ementa at home , because ot the
candidacy of Sheriff Udell of Independence
for warden ot the Fort Mad'son ' penitentiary.
Udell has all the home support , and this
leaves Gates weak and Kent Is considered
the leading candidate.
DEPOT QUESTION.
The State Railroad commission Is after
the DCS Molars Union depot question with
a long and sharp stick. The commission
nearly a year ago couderrncd the wreck which
Is now used as a Union depot by the Wabasli ,
DEO Molncs & Northern , Chicago Great
Western and DCS Molnes Union roads , and
ordered the Des Molnes Union road , which
owns the structure , to provide a better one
forthwith. The DCS Molnes Unlcci failed to
do so , and pleaded for more tlmo. Exten
sion was granted time and agala , till the com
mission became eatlsfled' that the comprny
was not acting In good faith ; then the com
mission decided to try the legal processes ot
enforcement. The first step in this dlrcc
tloa was to order the railroads which run
trains Into the dcpqt to appear before the
commlralon and ehow cauce why they should
not bo compelled to provide decent quarters
for their passengers. . It then developed that
there WES a war on between the roads. The
Chicago Great \Vcst6rn has been trying for
months to compel the DCS Molncs Union to
build a depot ; the latter has not been able
to get all the conccrelons It wants from the
city and from some of the roads , end has
hold off. H appeared with another plea for
more time. The commission was unable to
tike flDil action ca account of the absence
of one member , but In a day or two will
meet again and Is expected to Issue a per
emptory order to the Des Molnes Ualon to
provIJe a new dcpotj on pain of being com
pelled , at law to.do so. The company has
platQiIor' ai structure tq .cost .about ? 75,000
and Indications are , In-view dfi'tllfe vigorous
course of the commissioners , that It will 'be
erected In the spring.
BUCKET SHOP MEN.
Indictments were Issued last week from
the federal court In this city against SM
mend and William A. McIIIo and James T
Southern of Chicago for gambling by oper
ating bucket shors. They were arrested In
Chicago today , and this afternoon James J
Kerna , formerly district attorney in Cook
couaty , arrived as their attorney to demand
a transfer of the case to the northern Illinois
district. Ho declared If there -was any crlmu
It was committed as much In Chicago as In
Iowa , as the firm's headquarters are In that
city. District Attorney Fullen ot the south
ern Iowa district and the Chicago Civic
federation have been working for over a year
to make some case ot this kind , and six
months ago secured Indictments In the Iowa
state courts , but Governor Tanner refuted
to extradite the men. Mr. Fullen being ab
sent , the motion for a trarstcr could not be
argued today , but will probably be heard
by Judge Woolson tomorrow. The men have
operated a chain of bucket shopH at Des
Molnes , Marshalltown , Eldora , Jefferson acid
other Iowa towns , and are alleged to have
taken hundreds of thoueands ot dollars out
of the state. The motion to transfer will
be vigorously reposed.

BOSTON , Dec. 10. The Globe says :
'vMrs. Luctgcrt , the supposed victim of the
sauxago manufacturer murderer , so-called , In
Chicago , Is allvo and " .veil. Mrs. Luctgort
was seen in this city during the month ot
luly , acknowledged her Identity , besides giv
ing more or less explanation relative to the
reasons which caused her to lea\o her hus
band , who Is again to bo tried for his life. "
Such was the startling declaration made
by Editor John II. fichoflcld of St. Louis tea
a Globe man , Mr. tSchoflcld supplemented this
statement further with the positive asaur-
inco that Mrs. Luctgcrt was at the house
No. 7 Bullfinch place for a period of thrco
or four dajs during the middle of July last.
lo said ho based this assurance upon the
'act that Mrs. Luctgcrt whllo In Boston
acknowledged her full Identity , with the
assertion that she left her husband , the
Chicago sausage maker , because of his
actions with other women , as well ns for
casons which she thought would help him
in his financial cmbarrasscmnt In business.
llo further asserted that ho believed that
Mrs. Luctgcrt was still In Boston , and that
she would yet be found.
The Glebe has Interviewed the Mrs. Moss
ot No. 7 llullfinch place , who says that
the woman supposed to bo iMrs. Luctgert
went by the name of Millie Barker. One
day the woman seemed distressed after readIng -
Ing ao nccount ot the trial of Luctgcrt , and
when questioned by Mrs. Moss said ; "You
would bo surprised If I told you \vho I am. "

VIENNA , Dec. 10. In the Roumanian
Chamber of Deputies on Monday M. Mortsum ,
minister of the Interior , threw the whole
blame of the null-Semitic rioting upon , the
Jews nnd dcslorcd that the foreigners ,
meaning the Jews , would not bo allowed
to hold any more meetings. This state
ment Is Described as being "Worthy of the
reign of terror In France. "
It Is evident that the Roumanian E ° vern -
mcnt has revived the nntl-Scmltle agitation
In order to divert attention from numerous
subjects ot discontent. The police , It Is said ,
Cld nothing to stop the riots at Bucharest ,
which \vcro much worse on Tuesday than
on Sunday , whllo the authorities suppressed
telegrams relating to the outbreaks. The
ministers ot foreign powers at Bucharest
Mavo notified the Roumanian government that
they will demand compensation for the In
juries Inlllcted on the subjects ot their re
spective governments during the riots.

WOMEN ! DON'T WAIT.
If You Have Auy of Thcso Symp
toms Aot at Onoo.
Do you know the reason why you will
go to the hospital , my poor f riunil ?
Itecauho you have allowed yourself
to go from bad to worse. You did not
know that thnt heat , swelling and ten
derness in your left side wore all signs
of congestion of the ovary.
Any intelligent woman could have
told you that congestion is fatal to the
\ttorina
system ,
and that
an ovary
congest
ed lends
to tumor
forma
tion , and
that
you
were
in
danger ,
you will have
to undergo the operation of ovariotomy ,
the cutting out of the ovary.
Yes , you will recover , at least I hope
you will ; but you will never bo quito |
the same woman again. Congestion of
the ovaries is fatal to health. If you
have any such symptoms bo advised
in time j take a medicine of specific
powers ! You can find none better
than Lydia E. Pinkhnm's Vegetable
Compound , prepared especially to meet i
the needs of woman's sexual system. \
You can get it at any good druggist's. |
Following wo publish a letter from
n woman in Milwaukee , which relates
how she was cured of ovarian trouble :
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I suffered with
congestion of the ovaries and inflamma
tion of the womb. I had been troubled
with suppressed and pain ful menstruation - !
tion from a girl. The doctors told mo
the ovaries would have to bo removed , i
I took treatment two years to escape I
an operation , but still remained in mis- ,
crable health in both body and mind , ex- !
pcctiug to part with my reason each
coming mouth. After using ono bottle
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and apackagoof Sanative Wash
I was very much relieved. I continued
to use your remedies until cured. The
last nine months have been passed in
perfect good health. This , I know , I owe
entirely to the Vegetable Compound.
My gratitude is great , indeed , to the
one to whom so many women owe their
health and happiness. " Mits. F. M.
