Reduce Gtthmin Sentence.
The supreme court has reduced the sen
tence ot Albert Gathman, convicted of the
betrayal ot Bertha Trede, from fifteen
months to three months' imprisonment in
the county Jail. Gathman appealed on tho
grounds that tbe evidence was Insufficient
to convict him of the offense charged, and
on this point the six Judges of the supreme
court were equally divided, but were unan
imous that owing to the peculiar circum
stances ot the case the sentence should be
reduced. The attorneys for Gathman are,
however, not satisfied with the court's rul
ing and will file a motion tor a rehearing.
Gathman had bis preliminary hearing in
this city before a Justice of the peace, but
bis trial was held at Avoca before Judge
Green, It being shown that the alleged
offense was committed In Carson. Toung

"Shortly after assuming the receiver

valuable securities had been diverted and
hypothecated by its officers and my work

to obtain possession of these securities by
either litigation or comromlse." , This is
the statement of Charles R. Hannan in bis
final report as receiver for the Klmball
Cbamp Investment company of this city,
which he filed In the district court yester
day. The Kimball-Champ Investment
company failed In. J 891 and Charles R. Han

cured by mortgage on the hotel annex on
which $113,660 remained unpaid after the
foreclosure.
Owing to the tangled condition of the
affairs of the company and the consequent
litigation the expenses of the receiver
ship have been heavy and have absorbed
much of the receipts which came Into Mr.
amounting to $14,500. on which1 $3,000 has
been paid.
Receiver Hannan in asking to be dis

The Kimball-Champ Investment company

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.
It is easy to keep well If you only ob
serve each day a few simple rules ot health.
The all important thing is to keep the
stomach right, and to do this it li not nec
essary to diet or to follow a set rule or bill
of fare. Such pampering simply makes a
capricious appetite and a feeling that cer
tain favorite articles of food must be
avoided.
Prof. Wleehold gives pretty good sdvice
on this subject. He says: "I sm 68 years
old and have never had a serious illness,
and st the same time my life has been
largely sn Indoor one, but I sarly discov
ered that the way to keep healthy was to
keep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran
crackers or dieting of sny sort; on the con
trary, I always eat what my appetite craves,
but dally tor the past eight years I have
made it a practice to take one or two ot
Btuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
and I strlbute my robust health for a man
of my age to the regular dally use of
Stuart's Tablets.
My physician first sdvlsed me to use
them because he said they were perfectly
harmless and were not a secret patent med
icine, but contained only the natural di
gestives, peptones and diastase, and after
using them a few weeks I have never
ceased to thank him for bis advice.
I honestly believe the habit of taking
8tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals Is
the resl health habit, because their use
brings health to the sick and ailing and
preserves health to the well and strong."
Men and women past fifty years ot age
need a safe digestive after meals to Insure
a perfect digestion snd to wsrd off disease,
and the safest, best known and most
widely used Is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
They are found In every well regulated
household from Maine to Callforna, and In
Great Britain snd Australia are rapidly
pushing their way into popular favor.
All-druggists sell 8tuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, full slss packages at 60, cents, snd
for a weak stomach a to cent package will
often do $50 worts of good.
PLANS FOR IOWA BUILDING
Commission Telia Architects What it
Waited at St. Louis.
INTEREST CENTERS IN LIBEL CASE
Congressman Hilt
Comes Out for
Babcock of Wisconsin as the
Seat Speaker of the
House.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, la.. Nov. 11. (Special.)
The building committee of the Iowa com
mission to the St. Louis exposition held a
meeting here today at the state capltol and
considered the inquiries of architects In
reference to the proposed building that Is
to be erected for besdqusrters for tho com
mission on the exposition grounds at St.
Louis. The commission has Instructed the
secretary to send out a revised statement
ssklng for designs for the building and to
Include what Is wanted In the building as to
floor space, rooms, their purpose snd the
general features of the same. The com
mission desires a building large enough to
contain committee rooms and rooms for the
officers snd a general assembly room, also
a building that will be imposing In appear
ance. Some of the architects have written
to the commission complaining that without
some general idea of the character of the
building desired they feel It would be folly
to undertake the designing of a suitable
building. Tbe building committee met to
supply this deficiency. It is expected the
state will spend $50,000 or $60,000 on a
building, or nearly hajf of the total amount
appropriated with which to make an exhibit
for the state at the exposition. The de
signs are to be submitted within a month.
Rullns; on a Libel Case.
In the district court today several mo
tions in relation to sundry claims of the
contending parties in the suits between
J. C. Tate, coi'aty clerk, snd R. P. Clarkson,
formerly publisher of the Dally Register,
were ruled upon. Tate sued Clarkson for
$25,000 damages for alleged libel and Clark
son brought counter suit for the same
amount. The trouble grew out of a hot
political fight lost spring over congressman.
Clarkson published defamatory statements
in connection with sn affidavit regarding
frauds and corruption at the primary elec
tion. Clarkson claimed that the publication
of the affidavit and comments thereon was
privileged, but tbe court today held this
was not tbe case. Clarkson claimed in
mitigation that it was his duty to expose
corruption. This also was not sustained
by the court. He also claimed that he had
first been attacked but the court held that
as he was not attacked directly by name
this had nothing, to do with the case. Tbe
Clarkson counter claim was ruled out en
tirely by the court, so that there is only
one case to be' tried, and that the case of
Tate for damages. This will be heard In
court In a few. days and under the rulings
of the Judge It is probable some form of
verdict will be given.
Two Murder Cases Considered.
The trial of Harry Levlch for the murder
of Isaac Finkelsteln will be commenced In
court tomorrow, The defendant is anxious
to have tbe hearing at once and his attor
neys profess ti be 'able to completely es
tablish the Innocence of their client.
Levich Is accused of having plsnned to
have James Walker sssault Finkelsteln tor
a consideration. The evidence against both
is largely clrcumstsntial.
The grand Jury Is now making an Investi
gation of the murder of the two Peterson
children In Highland park last spring. One
arrest was made and a preliminary inquiry
held which developed nothing. It is ex
pected the grand Jury will secure all evi
dence possible in that case.
Old Soldier Goes Insane.
Grandison Able, a veteran ot the Ninth
Iowa cavalry, who has been an inmate of
the State Soldiers' home at Marshalltown
for several months, has been sent from
there to the State Insane hospital at
Clarlnda. He had become feeble and de
mented and his condition was such that he
was regarded as dangerous. He has a wife
and three children living In this city and
had been a resident here a long time pre
vious to his having been taken to the
Soldiers' home.
Hull Comes Out for Babcock.
Considerable surprise was manifested
here when Congressmsn Hull, who at pres
ent holds the important position of chair
man of the military committee of the
house, announced himself as In favor ot
Babcock of Wisconsin for speaker ot tbe
next house snd predicted thst he would
have the solid support of the Iowa mem
bers. It has been generally expected that
the Iowa delegation would support Cannon
of Illinois as the logical western candidate
to succeed Henderson. Hull and Hepburn
have now spoken for Babcock. Hull has
been In the east all (all in close touch with
Babcock and his sasoctates of the national
committee.
Congressman Hull ia devoting himself
entirely to the postofflca question hero and
will remain until it is settled. A new
candidate appeared today in the person of
W. V. Wilcox, an old so"ldier. Probably 200
persons called on Hull today to urge him to
appoint this or that person as postmaster.
Appeals B!g Damage Case.
The case of F. E. Perry against Clarke
county has been appealed to the supreme
court. Perry was running a threshing ma
chine engine along the highway and tried
to cross a small bridge, when it broke
down. The accident occurred late in the
evening. Perry was pinioned beneath tho
engine snd buried in the mud. The escap
ing steam scalded him terribly and his leg
was broken and crushed. In bis terrible
pain, and after be had been lying loathe
mud for three hours, he called out for a
saw that he might eaw off his leg and re
lease himself. It was so dsrk tbst when
help arrived for him be literally had to cut
his oo wsy out of the wreck and ssva
himself. The Jury decided the county was
negligent as to the bridge snd gave a ver
dict for $4,000 for Perry.
Effort to Captors Dipsomaniacs.
Oovernor Cummins has sent out to the
peace officers of the state a request that
they make special efforts to srrest snd re
turn to the state hospital at Mount Pleas
sat fifteen escaped Inmates of the dipso
mania ward whose whereabouts srs un
known. He has procured from the superin
tendent of the hospital the names of those
who havs run awsy. The superintendent
complains that the sherlBs of the state
have msde no effort to srrest these per
sons snd he is without means of bsvlng
them pursued and brought back.

CAPITAL REMOVAL SCHEME
South Dakota Cities Combine In Move
Aaralnst Present Location
t Pierre.
SIOUX CITY, Ia., Nov. 11. (Special Tel
egram.) Action which may result In tho
removal of the capital ot South Dakota
from the city of Pierre, and which may
also have sn important bearing on the fu
ture politics of the state, was taken In
Redfleld, S. D., last night. At a secret
conference held there the cities of Huron,
Mitchell snd Redfleld were each rep
resented by committees composed of prom
inent' citizens. Although it Is difficult to
gather much definite knowledge ot the re
sult of the conference, enough has leaked
out to Justify the conclusion that a plan
was agreed to by which the three cities
will work together for the removal of the
capltol from Pierre at the coming session
of the legislature. Many people here be
lieve that the result of the meeting makes
it certain that Pierre will lose the capitcl.
MITCHELL, S. D., Nov, 11. (Special Tel
egram.) Tbe capltol committee ot this
city returned this morning from Redfleld.
The members were very reticent as to what
trantplred at a conference held last night
by the representation of Mitchell, Huron
and Redfleld on capltol removal matters.
A member of the committee admitted that
the conference was held and that a com
bination waa effected which brought the
three towns into a position where they
agree to support a measure removing the
capltol from Pierre without reference to
any Individual town.' Aside from this much
of a disclosure the committee would give
nothing. It means a fight, however, that
Pierre has not contemplated, according to
its newspapers.
