Bo many people In this cllmc.e suffer with catarrh of the nose that much useless enullllng of Inhalants will he avoided by a brief reference to what catarrh really Is. It Is a result of a succession of colds , each ono Hinting the mucous membranes a moro convenient plncu to locate than the former cold , hence catarrh Is a chronlo cold In the head , Now , wo do not take cold by breath. Jng in cold nlr. but by gutting the feet damp or exposing the body to varying de- ercea of moisture , HO that U will bo rendily seen that outside Influences do not attack the air passages dlrrctly , but travel from the feet or other exposed place to the nueal ptxfmokcs. simply because the mucous mem branes nt this place are more susceptible to cold than the stomach , bowcla , bladder and other parts of the body provided with these mucous llnlngo. To euro a cold , therefore , we need to give ntttentlon to restoring thu mucous lining of the body , giving the blood such elements as will scatter the Inflammation In the dis eased places nnd enable the natural nu trition of the body to replace the watite tissue with new material. This U a very rapid' process when the habits of living , ( he diet , bathing and proper remedy are all employed. Probably the best remedy to uao , IB the Gauss Catarrh Tablets.

W. Sawyer had received thlrty-ccio more votes wet at the late election than hla opponent , Prof. W. S. Paulson. The finding wns formal ! } declated and the board made the order afslgnlng the certificate of election to the ofilco ot county superintendent to Mr. SUN- jcr. jcr.The The recount of the volte was made with perhaps the least friction that has ever at tended any such work In the past , and It was lln'shcd In the ( S-hortest time and with the lecst expense. The result waa due to tbo hearty good w'll ' and fellowship ibctwem the members of the contesting board and the pro- fcsslonal amenities that the attorneys ox- teaitai to each other. There was abun- iMnce of opportunity for trouble that would have drawn out the contest and added tl.'ys to the work. Much of this credit lo due o the principals themselves , who showed no undue arxlety to secure the prize that was lo'ng contested for. Particularly waa this Irue of Prof. Paulson , who left the manage ment of the count who'.ly to his attorney , J-uxb Sims , and refused to Interfere In a,3j , way with It as It proceeded. Like Prof. Saw yer he crnfincd himself wholly to the work of keeping the tally and trusted his attor- nejs to examine the ballots. Prof. Sawyer's attorneys , S. H. Wadsworth and II J. Cham , licre. were given the same courteous treat ment by their client , ard the result was that In hundreds of c-ass the attornojs would igrce upon the counting or rejection of doubtful votes which wouldi have been the source of pebbly serious disputes among the members of the contest board. The town&filps tl.at had the most straight votes were Garner , Lincoln an * Pleasant. The -townships In which the most were lost by Irregular marking wcro Wright. Neola , Ueihnap and the Scccnd orccluct of the Fifth ward. On ( lit poor farm proposition the mistakes of the voters resulted In the loss of a few more names for Sawyer than foi 1'iulso.i. \ few of the votera attempted to vote by making a cross In the circle at the head of the ticket and then placing cresses In the squares opposite the names of the candidates on other tickets for whom they uwlred to vote. This ws permissible un der the old law , but the special session of the legislature Incorporated some chcnges In the rules , and this was In violation of one ol them. In the -count of the remaining precincts yes terday Sawyer really gained four more votes , but there were a number excluded' ' which were cast for him for tha reason that the township tickets bad beea wrlUen In by the voter. This was In accordance with the law , for in the townships the officers had not been named on thcso.tlckets , which were the socialist and other tickets. Sawyer'c plurality was safe enough and there- was nc objection raised to the discarding ot the votes. The cost of the contest was figured up yes- terday. It Included ? 24 for each of the Judges and $ G for additional expentes. making a total of $78. The last contest previous tc this Involved an expense of nearly $200. In each case the losing contestant pays the cost , Domestic soap wrappers call for spoons. Xmaa novelties cheap at Davis' . SLOT MACIII.MCS 'A It 10 LOTTEIUnS. McGi-c'N DuclHlon AgrnlitMt Pvrv- Koy'K Contention. Judge McGee hinded down his decision In a nlckel-ln-the-slot machine case yesterday and made It broad enough to cover a great many points Involved In similar controversies all over the country. The casa was brought by Peregoy & Moore for the purpose of test ing the anti-gambling law , the enforcement of which a few wseks ago cleared the city entirely of all kinds ot slot machines. The test was made by the display of n machlno at the retail store o' n. G. Pcregoy. A regula tion slot machine used previously for the sale of cigars was put up on the counter , but so marked that every number upon which the ball would stop would win ono clgir. It was believed that this machine would elim inate the gambling clement from the device and bring It within the pale of the law. Per egoy was arrested and arraigned In' the pollc ? court and the presumption In favor of the Innocency of the machine raised by his attorneys. Judge McGce- took the matter under advisement and held it for two weeks for the purpose of getting some late supreme court decisions In cases then pending. Ills decision knocks out the machine and declares that It contolrtj the essential elements of a gambling device within tbs meaning of tile law. The decision and the authorities cited follow ; Defendant has n nlckel-ln-thc-slot machlno at his place of business , by which the plnyer Is certain to receive nt leist one 0-ccnt clsar , and may , by ehance , receive IIAO , three , four or five , biich cigars.

In Davenport ayralnst the City of Ottawa , 10th Pac , 70S ( Kiia , ) , the same arguments were urged na are urecd by the defendant In this case. In that case a merchant save a ticket for n prize drawing with 000:1 : re cent purchase. It was admitted ho , wu.- carrying on a leKltlmatc lni8lneH , that ho had a larse stock of general merchandise and that hi * only object In Rlvln r out eueh tickets wnif to advertise liU store and drai * trade. It was urged thnt the clrmce to draw a prize -WJB merely a free gift which the merchant made to his customers. The court held thnt na the customer re ceived a chance to draw a prize In addition to hn ! purchase of goods that the * chomo was a lottery , Lotteries are a. i-peclea of wambling.

Porter , who claims that amount as personal damages sustained by him In a recent case of assault. All of the parties live at or near Ncola. Porter ter Is the township assessor and the Carlsons are hla neighbors. The trouble between them has been In process ot Incubation stnco a day or two before the election.

( Special. ) The people ple living In this town and vicinity who con tracted for wood to ba delivered them from tha reservation on the other side ot the Mla- sourl river are experiencing some trouble getting It delivered this winter. About a year ago an order was given forbidding the Indians from bringing wood to the Iowa side but during the remainder of Agent Bsck's administration It was not very rigidly enforced. However , the new agent , since the river ! s frozen over , Is putting forth all possible means to prevent the export of wood and enforcing the ordinance to the fullest extent. This produces a scarcity of wood In this vicinity , the Indians being a common source for a great portion of cord wood consumed hero. Ilollt lUNll CtIoil 111 lOWII. ' DES MOINES , Doe. 21.
